XOTlftff G IN IT.
Science seems to be getting-things
down to a very ' fine point. Some
one has hatched a theory that cer
tain characteristics are indicated by
the trimming of a pencil.
Now we dislike to be always lock
ing horns with science but we don't
6el ley e the s tu ff. Some of our liter
ary giants of the straightest sect
don't do any pencil trimming at all
but just borrow a ready sharpened
one that they can afford to throw
i away and borrow another, while
, na'ny of the sweetest little creatures
whose kiddish brother will not stop
. bis ruder sports to help her, hastens
to the kitchen and with, a case
knife, removes so me of the chippins,
making the pencil look as if a dog
or caif had chewed it when she
scratches down on a penny tablet
the richness and purity of lnnocense
and loveliness.
DOMESTIC BLISS.
Aa the weary editor went plod
,'rJij .
ding home,Chis epirits worn ; and
visions weird, his occnlar kodak
caught a picture of domestic bliss
And feminine pride. A young wife
neatly'ttired, sitting in her rock
ing cna!rlhe view of her partly ob
eenred by post and trellaco, with
her first born well bandaged in" its
iUtfenair add: traced-at hereet,

of passers-ojrina-muvpc o.wo,
the worli witniDlnsfant grasp she
is without caw and i oblivious L of

priates the thoughts as she gathers
them from The -Daily dtandard.
An exchange informs us that
there are a number of fishes in the
warm water regions that are poison
ous and are especially bo at certain
times and in certain waters. The
dangerilies top in the fact that the
resemblance to good fish, is so nearly
perfect Jtbat; only an expert can be
entirely safe in selecting them.
Many deaths occur from mistakes.
A man may dress as well as his
own good judgment and the assist
ance of an artistic tailor may elect.
He may take his tuba"- but if his
digestive organs are out of order, he
will have an unwholesome appear
ance. His complexion and the
white of his eyes will have a yellow
ish cast. His tongue will be coated,
appetite poor, his teeth rusty, his
breath abominable. He is one big,
unmistakable sign of constipation.
The quickest, surest, easiest way to
cure this trouble is to take Dr;
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They aye
made of refined, concentrated vege
table extracts. Nothing in the leact
harmful enters into their composi
tion. They hunt down all impuri
ties, and "make them move on."
Thev are the nroduct of many
years' study and practice. Dr. Pierce
cannot afiord to put forth a worth
less article.

The way in which a boy uses his
leisure hours often determines what
sort of a man he will be. Two men
stood at the same table in a large
factory in Philadelphia, working at
the same trade. Having " an hour
for noon every day, each undertook
to use it in accomplishing a definite
purpese. Each persevered'for about
the same number of months, and
each won success at last. One of
these two mechanics used his daily
leisure hour in working out the in
vention of a machine for sawing a
block of wood into almo3t any de
sired shape. When his invention
was completed he sold the patent
for a fortune, changed his workman's
apron for a broadcloth suit, and
moved out of a tenement houseanto
a brownstone mansion. The other
man what did he do ? Well, he
spent an hour each day during most
of a year in the very dimcult under.
taking of teaching a little dbg to
stand on his hind feet and dance
jig while he played the tune. At
last account he was working ten
hours a day at the same; trade- and
at his dd wages, and finding fault
with the 'fate that made his ; fellow-
workman rich while, leaving him
poor, .Leisure minutes i may oring

onds, it would take over 333 years
for them to elapse. In lieu of this
arrangement we might press and
pile - them vertically upward to
gradually reach our highest moun
tains. Topping all these and even
the highest Alps, the pile would
reach the magnificent altitude of
490, or, in round numbers, 500
miles. Calculating that the aver
age man spends five minutes read
ing his paper in the day (this a very
low estimate), we find that the peo
ple of the world altogether annually
occupy time equivalent to 100,000
years reading the papers.-National

Do You Use It ?
It's the best thing for the
hair under -all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes- the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as ,a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour
ished. But the. roots must be
there. If you wish your haix
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use
