Almost dintruded by its cu*tnnt crying, and tvoru out with weary , am ions care and watching, site tries every thing possible to obtain even relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort and delight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a single dose of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy. Laxakola is a pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic projerties which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drojN can be given with safety to very young babies, which will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gn9 that cause it. Great relief fs ex j*rienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrlnea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out i! c ( auseof the fermentation. LAX \KOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable. ! .Ill' I.AXAkoLA Ll>.. i <-• Street, N.

A very, very fat luuu was he, and I when lie entered the Chestnut Hill ac | oomuiodatlon Sunday* night he looked nround for a whole seat to himself. The car was nearly tilled, and the best ■ he could do was to share a seat with another jgjssonger. A hasty inventory | decided him in favor of a very thin young woman, and even then it was a rather tight squeeze. The young woman in trying to make room for him dropped her handkerchief, which landed on the floor directly between the man's feet. lie was a man of such Falstafflun girth as to ho totally oblivious of any thing beyond the range of his vision, and he could scarcely see over his own chin. The young woman was wedged in so tightly that she could hardly move. "Pardon me," she said. "I have dropped my handkerchief." "Where Is it?" asked the fat man. "On the floor, between your feet," answered the thin young woman. The fat man made an effort to look ill the direction indicated, hut although he grew very red in the face from the effort ho couldn't see beyond his waist coat buttons. Finally he said: "I got off at Tioga. Do you go far ther than that?" "Yes. I go to Wayne Junction," she said. "1 guess I can get along without it for awhile." "Thank you," said the fat man, great ly relieved. The young woman recovered her property at Tioga, where the fat man extricated himself from the seat.—Phil adelphia Record. Tier Gentle Raillery.

I Bread and circuses! A learned and orthodox theological writer, commeut j lug on this demand of tlie Rotnau pop ulace, remarks that such Is the cry, not of tlie pagan, hut of the human iiearl. j Another, rather of a different sort, but I much better known, especially to those whose have just learned to reail print | without much trouble, expresses the same Idea lu describing au old woman, : Who—what do you think— j Lived upon nothing but victuals and drink? Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet, And vet the old woman could never be quiet. Certainly not! How can It be expect ed of man or woman to be content with daily bread alone as is the machine with its daily oiling? Even when by i "bread" we mean all that was found in the fleshpots of Egypt, man needs I something more. The mind must be fed. Twenty centuries ago Home's wisest rulers recognized this fact—recognized I that mau is not a machine—and tlie lawmakers of today are slowly learn ing that man. even though with "the , emptiness of ages in his face," cannot ! be transformed lulo a machine any more than he can be supplanted by one. Labor ami food and rest were not enough for him even when his meat was the flesh of the cave bear. Then war was his pastime. In senile!vilized Home when he shouted for elrcenscs he meant no less than a mimicry of war, and so to furnish him with recrea tion the human prisoner and tlie wild beast fought to the death in the arena, while Ids animal spirit, unburdened with toll, made holiday in that pande monium. "Other times, other manners!" The sheddiug of blood Is no longer regarded as a recreation, but as an unpleasant duty of somewhat doubtful necessity. Men look elsewhere for tlielr amuse ments, and the word circus suggests only daring equestrian feats, venerable Jokes and rubicund lemonade. Kut still the cry is heard "Panem et circeuses," though worded differently when men demand tlie eight hour day. As bread means much more now than it did when the Houiau artisan lent ills lungs to the clamor for panem, so circenses may be translated to stand for all of these pastimes In which man may find that diversion so necessary to his well being. Why should ho to whom life means but a continual grind between the up per and nether millstones, poverty ami toil be denied the respite and recrea tion which the eight hour day would open up to him? While the eight hour day is recogniz ed very generally as boiug capable of bringing recreation to the workers, few see that In it is to be found one of tlie safety valves of society. The unemployed, that groat army , in whose hands has so ofteu rested the fate of empires—their numbers must be reduced! llow shall it be done? Shooting them might be recommended upon the ground of dispatch, starving them would lie rather a slow opera tion; but they will submit to neither. There is a remedy, and it is proposed by their fellow workingmcn, and it is to be found in tlie better distribution of labor that the eight hour day brings. The man at work is willing—nay, anxious—that bis idle brothers Should have that chance, knowing full well that with so many hungry men lighting each other and all lighting him for his job he can have but little hope of au honest return for the sweat of his brow. So up with tlie old cry of your Ro man prototypes, fellow workers, ceas ing only when we have that division of food and amusement that should be 1 ours by every right and reason.—D. | Douglass Wilson in Machinists' Jour nal. FL'lu inm'H Xfw I.alior Lnw. Belgium, which was one of the first i European states to provide for govern j ment intervention in the interest of la bor, has now before its chamber a new bill which makes a long stop in ad vance. The bill is expected to become j a law without modification. As the law now stands a workman, in case of bodily injury, can only claim compen : sntion if he can show that the injury ; was due to negligence 011 the part of his employer. According to tlie new measure, an employee who receives an injury which incapacitates hi 111 for more than a fortnight shall be paid by tlie employer oven should the accident be traced to tlie fault of tlie claimant. The amount of indemnity is fixed at half tlie sufferer's average earnings in case of total disability, or, in case of partial incapacity, to half the differ ence in his wage producing power for which tlie accident is responsible. Tlie bill in dealing with the liability of the employer gives the latter the op tion of insuring himself either in tlie National Caisse d'Epargne or in a pri vate company approved by the state, and the contracting society is bound to take over all responsibility on the score of accidents, in respect of which the employer's liability henceforth ceases, or he may decline to insure, and in this case the workman's claim for indemni ty becomes a first charge 011 tjie estate after tlie payment of ordinary wages, ; and lie is further obliged to capitalize j certain sums for future compensation ! and pay the amount into a state bank ; or insurance company approved by the state. Only n Mechanic. A machinist out of work committed suicide in Sail Francisco the other day ami bequeathed his body to any mod , leal institution that would give his wife and children food for a month, j Discouragement followed in tlie foot , steps of the poor mechanic's inability j to find employment. And death was the only method lie had of changing a mean condition into one that, while not grand, perhaps can at least be tolcrat | ed, though lie may be unconscious of 1 the toleration. WATCHDOG'S WEAK POINT A BurKlar Toll* Hl* Secret For Sooth ing the Mont Snvuite Unite*. James Seymour, nn old burglar who has spent most of his life in the state prisons of New York and New Jersey for house breaking, lias just begun an other ten years' term for jobs commit ted in Mount Vernon, Pelham and oth er suburban towns. Chief Foley found 14 houses which Seymour attempted to enter, and Seymour was convicted of getting Into two of them and carrying away a lot of silverware and clothing. In both houses large watchdogs were kept on guard, and Chief Foley and the owners were at a loss to under stand how the burglar could have pried open the windows without causing them to bark and arouse the house holds. Curiosity finally led the chief to question Seymour, and the old bur glar gave him the recipe Just before he left for Sing Sing prison. "Getting past dogs is dead easy if you know how to go about it," said the bur glar. "Old crooks understand the trick so well that it's not often a dog bothers them. He may give a few growls if he's in the house, hut there's away to quiet him quick. Souie people are fool ish enough to think thai burglars carry steak, chops, dog bread or something of the kind about In their pockets to feed tlie critters with or that they chloro form them, but tlds is a mistake. "All we have to do is to hunt up a horse Just before we start on the job and rub our hands several times up ami down one of his legs, at the same time touching the fetlock. It don't matter what kind of an old skate lie Is. There's something about tlie scent of a horse's fetlock that will make any dog your friend the minute he smells it. I've tried it dozens of times, and it never failed." Seymour then told how lie got Into a house in New Jersey which was guard ed by four of the fiercest bulldogs lie ever saw. "I knew that the brutes were there ami that they were likely to make nic trouble," said he, "HO Just before I tackled tlie place I stopped along the street and rubbed my hands a good five minutes 011 the fetlocks of an old horse that was hitched to a cab stand ing lu front of a rumsliop. Then I mnde for the house and began careful like to pry open the window to the din ing room. "It was moonlight, and I could see all of tliern silver shining on tlie side board, but it looked like a mighty risky job to try to get it with them four ugly brutes stretched out a-gunrd ing it. But things were slow with me, and 1 was determined not to let the chance go by, so I sawed tlie catch and then raised tlie sasli easy so as not to make any noise. "Once or twice one of the dogs gave a low growl, and I had to lay low, but when I filially got the sash up enough to sliove in my hands it was all over. The minute they smelled them up they got and came over to the window and began licking my lingers. When I got in, they never made a growl, but fol lowed me around the room like pet lambs while I gathered up the silver ware and dropped it in my bag." "Hut what IN there about the fetlock of a horse that attracts the dogs?" asked Chief Foley. "You've got me," responded Seymour. "I never lieerd anybody explain it. The receipt was give to me by an old man in Trenton prison that used to steal dogs, and I've been using it ever since when occasion requires. It works so line that I believe I could take the watchdogs away with me after I rob the houses if I wanted to be bothered with the brutes."—New York Sun. For Mnnqnlto HHe*. Xnpli 1 linlone. The United States consul general at Frankfort, Mr. Guentlier, writes to the state department that I)r. Voges, di rector of the national board of health of Argentina, has discovered an alleg ed "sure cure" for mosquito bites. It is none other than the familiar "naphtha lene." It neutralizes the poison, he says, even when the spot bitten is greatly inflamed, and if fresh bites are rubbed with it no swelling follows. Dr. Voges is a trained man of sci ence and is therefore not likely to make an exaggerated statement. It may be that naphthalene will do all that he claims for it when used on the bite of the Argentina mosquito, but would avail nothing against the Jersey or even the common American variety. Hut the remedy is well worth a trial, as mosquito bites only too often trans form the beauty and repose of seaside or country vacation into an itching fe ver of wretchedness. New York World.
