Mississippi River Captain the First to
Introduce Idea.
According to Representative Aldrich
of Alabama, the origin of the term
"state-room" was on this wise:
"Down in Louisiana is the thriving
city of Shreveport. The man after
whom the city was named was old
Caj t. Shreve, who used to run some
of the finest craft that, ever carried
the traveling public up and down the
Mississippi river. Capt. Shreve was a
progressive sort of old fellow, and ho
believed in giving the passengers the
hest. possible appointments; and his
boats were the most luxurious that
were ever piloted on the famous water
thoroughfare. There used to be ordi-
nary bunks on the line, the crudest
kind of berths. Shreve made up his
mind that something better was de-
manded, and that the more luxurious
night travel was made the more traf-
fic there would be on his liners. So
he had a number of rooms built on his
boats for night travelers. Then the
idea suggested itself to him that in-
stead of numbering the rooms lie
would give each of them a name. 1 his
was done forthwith. He was a patri
otic soul and he named the rooms
after the great commonwealths
through which the Father of Waters
traveled. There, for instance, was
the Mississippi room, the Arkansas
room, the Ixmistana room, the Mis-
souri room and so on down the list of
states. In booking these names for
passengers he called them 'state-
rooms,' hence the now universal ex-
pression."—Mariner's Advocate.
A FEW
i CUTTING
REMARKS
The purpose of ft saw is to cut.
It should cut easily, cut cleanly,
undent with every movement
1 prefer an Atkins Saw. Its blade
Is "Silver Steel", recognized the
world over as the fl'iest. oruiciblo
steel ever made in ancientor modem
times. It is hard, close trained and
much. It holds a sharp cutting edge
tnneer than any other Saw. its
hla.lo tapers perfectly from thiek to
thin, from handle to tip. Thus it
makes leeway for itself, runs easily
and does not buckle. Its temper is
perfect. When bent bv a crooked
thrust, it springs into shape without kinking.
The Atk insSaw cute and does it best nf any.
We ir.ike all tvoes and sizes ct saws, but only
one grade-the Dost. trinnr
Atkins Saw., Corn Kniveg. Perfection Moor
Scrapers, etc., are aold by all good hardware
dealers. Catalogue oil request.

He Wanted Music Anyway.
Thomas Sellers, a noted double bass
player of Boston, was engaged to
play for a Hibernian picnic at one of
the harbor resorts, and was ordered
to be at a certain wharf to take the
Voat. The morning of the picnic was
cold and rainy and Mr. Sellers at first
besitated about going, but later put
;he rubber cover over his bass and
started.
Arriving at the wharf, he found (hat
•ie was the only member of the orches-
:ra foolish enough to start, and had
about made up'his mind to return
when he noticed a small Irishman
with a long Prince Albert coat, big
hadge and tall hat coming toward him
in the rain.
Swelling with pride, and disappoint-
ed at not finding a crowd to show his
authority, he accosted Sellers in the
following manner: "Are you one of
the musichanes?"
"I am," was the response.
"Well, I'm one of the com-mit-tee,
.tut! i want you to take the skin off
that thing and give us a thune."
Mrs. Reagan was a Nervous Wreck,
But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
Brought Sound Health.
•' Before I began to take Dr.Williams*
Pink Pills," said Mrs. Mary Reagan,
of No. 80 Kilburn street, Fall River,
Mass., recently, "I was in and out of
bed all the time, but now I stay up all
day and do all my own work.
" I was badly run down from over-
work. One day noises began in my head
and almost made nie crazy. My head
felt ns if a tight band had been put
around it, and the pressure and the
sounds made mo so uneasy that I often
had to walk the floor all night.
" Mv stomach was in liad shape, and I
had smothering sensations. At such
times my body seemed bloodless, niy
hands were like chalk and my face
turned yellow. The doctor said I had
dyspepsia in the worst form, 'lhen niy
nerves gave way and I was completely
prostrated. I frequently suffered from
smothering sensations.
" The first box of Dr. Williams Pmlc
Pills that I ufted quieted my nerves
so that I could get a good night's
sleep, which was a new experience for
me. Before I began to use them I was
a nervous wreck ami trembled nt the
slightest, sound. I was so weak that I
had to sit down and rest every few steps
when I went up stairs.- Now I can run
up a whole flight at once. The smother-
ing sensations have gone and the noises
in my head have stopped entirely. My
appearance has greatly improved, for
friends who were alarmed on my nc-
(.oiitit before, now say: 'How well you
are looking !' Mv husband spent over a
hundred dollars o'n treatment for me that
was worthless, but a few boxes of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills brought me sound
health."

A Canny Guid Wife
A very young Parliamentary candi-
date for a Scots borough, visiting a
shoemaker and his wife, took the lib-
erty of kissing the "guid wife'' and
slipping a "couple of sovereigns into
her hand. He was for a moment not
sure what effect would be produced.
Then the "guid wife" slowly smiled
upon him as she slipped the gold into
her pocket. "Gin ye like, ye may kiss
my dochter too!" she said.
Tremendous pressure is being put
on Governor Douglas of Massachus-
etts to wear out a pair of f3.50 shoes
by running again. The governor
says ho will not—but he is said to be
much moved by the unanimity of the
party.
He Smiled Twice.
There is a man living in the Pra/os
Bottoms of whom it is said he only
smiled twice in his life-one, when
his mother-in-law died, the other when
Cheatham's Chill Tonic cured his
ague.
It will cure any one's ague, or any
other form of malaria. One bottle
guaranteed to do it
Better Indigo Yields
According to a consular report from
Simla, India, efforts are being made
to save the indigo growers from the
German manufacturers of artificial in-
digo. Lord Curzon urged the Indian
indigo farmers to find ways of getting
more coloring matter from their har-
vests by introducing scientific meth-
ods of selecting and caring for the
plants. It was also suggested that a
factory for preparing the coloring
matter would pay better than money
expended on the farms. All the indigo
plants could be collected at such a
factory and there treated in such a
way as to secure the best results. A
combination of both plans, it ia
thought, would be best and might re-
sult in India maintaining its position
in the world's markets.

"Hello. Fr r. ; i haven't seen you
for a month," shouted Mr. Prudcr, as
he hurried across the street to greet
his friend. I've been most anxious
to see you. Do you recall that story
you told me last Christmas? Well,
I've forgotten it completely. I want
you to give me just a hint, and I'll
recollect."
"Certainly." answered Pruder's
friend, wrinkling his forehead in an
endeavor to conjure the desired story.
"Yes; I have it now; but, but," the
friend hesitated; "I heard you joined
the church a few weeks ago."
"Oh, drawled Pruder. sadly, "it's
that kind of a story, is it?" and. with
a few perfunctory remarks about the
weather, he hurried about his btisi
ness.—Cleveland Leader.

DISFIGURED BY ECZEMA.
Wonderful Change in a Night—In a
Month Face Was Clear as Ever
—Another Cure by Cuticura.
"I had eczema on the face for five
months, during which time I was in
the care of physicians. My face was
so disfigured I could not go out, and it
was going from bad to worse. A
friend recommended Cuticura. The
first night after I washei my face
wi'h Cuticura Soap, and wed Cuticura
Ointment and Resolvent, it changed
wonderfully. From that day I was
able to go out, and in a month the |
treatment had removed all scales and
scabs, and my face was as clear as
ever. (Signed) T. J. Soth, 317 Stagg
