Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will savo not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz.—one full
pound—while all other Cold Water
Btarchcs are put up in %-pound pack-
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all Injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let-
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance «nd save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
■ticking. Deflancs never sticks.

Had Mad* a T««t
"The court wlU proceed to milk this
cow, and Judicial notice ot those facts
which to him, aa an expert milker,
will tend to determine Whether she
has been fresh for a long or short
time."
So announced Judge John Oliver
from the bench at Sioux City, Iowa,
after hearing witnesses dispute for an
hour concerning the identity of a
Jersey cow. Both BldeB claimed her,
but one side contended that she had
been fresh but three months, while
the other alleged she had not been
fresh for nearly a year.
The court adjourned to a stable
nearby, where his honor proceeded to
milk the cow in true farmer fashion.
"The verdict of the court is that the
cow has not been fresh over three
months, therefore she goes to the
plaintiff," was the announcement from
the bench after the court had solemn-
ly led the procession back to the
court house.

Quick Cure of Rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills. How They 8aved the
8hop of a Kansas Blacksmith—Cure
was Permanent too.
Goodland, Kan., Feb. 20th.—(Spe-
cial)—So quick and complete was the
cure of N. E. Albertson, a local black-
smith, that it almost seems like a
miracle. He had Rheumatism so bad
he feared he would have to give up
his shop. One box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills drove away all the pains and
they have never returned. Speaking
of his cure Mr. Albertson says:
"I had Rheumatism in my shoulders
and arms for years. Part of the time
It was bo bad I could not sleep at
night. My arm hurt bo that it seem-
ed I would have to give up my black-
smith shop. I went to the drug store
and bought one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills and took them. I have not had
the Rheumatism since. A great many
of the neighbors are using Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills since they saw how they
cured me."

Cure by Cutlcura.

Another cure by Cuticura is told of
by Mrs. Caroline Cable, of Waupaca,
Wis., In the following grateful let-
ter: "My husband suffered agony
salt rheum on his hands,, and I had
to keep them bandaged all the time.
Wo tried everything we could get, but
nothing helped him until ho used Cuti-
cura. One set of Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment, and Pills cured him entirely,
and his hands have been as smooth
as possible ever since. I do hope thi§
letter will be the means of helping
iome other sufferer."
An Irishman's Mistake
Sir Robert Ball , the noted British
astronomer, went to a remote town in
Ireland to lecture on his favorite
topic. Arriving at the station, he
looked for the expected conveyance,
but found none. After all the other
passengers had disappeared a man
stepped up and said: "Maybe you're
Sir Robert Ball?" On receiving an
affirmative reply the man hastily
apologized, saying: "Im sorry I kept
you waiting, but I was tould to look
for an intellectual gentleman." Sir
Robert thought that under the circum-
stances it would be better not to in-
quire what was the man's idea of in-
tellectuality.

amateur fool "What am I? Why, a
senous philosopher, of course. 1 never
pretended to be anything more

THE MOOR AS A SERVANT.
Mighty Picturesque, but With Hospit-
able Notlona of HI* Own.
An artist in New York has a Moor
for a servant. The artist found him
dancing in a side show at the fair, and
they had a little chat between dances.
It was a one-sided chat for the Moor
knows little English, though he knew
enough English or human nature tc
say that he had been a servant of the
Sultans. Before the Moor danced
again the artist had asked him to be
his servant.
The Moor could not say. modestly,
"What, In this attire?" for his scarlet
robes and turban were gorgeous: but
he did murmur something about being
dressed differently from American
servants. The artist yranted him as he
was, and said so.
So as he Is, in scarlet grandeur, he
waits on the artist's studio apart-
ments. The guests hold their breath
a little when the enormous man In
red enters the room to do the tea
chores. The artist, however, breathes
evenly.
The Moor has a trick of hospitality
toward his employer's guests of which,
perhaps, It would be well for the
artist to break him, as It proves nerve
shattering to the unitlated. He solemn-
ly takes it upon himself to greet each
guest, as he or she arrives, with prof-
fered hand and the plaintive murmur,
"My friend."
Perhaps the artist thlnkB it Is better
not to correct the Moor. He Is a very
big man, and the artist treats him po-
litely.
LITTLE TROUBLE TO LEARN.
Sandy's First Attempt at Feat an Un-
qualified Success.
A Scottish gillie was Invited by the
laird to take a mill at his flask after
gafllng the first nsh of the day.
"I canna trink oot of a bottle." pro-
tested the gillie, with a frown of dis-
approval.
"Aweel, try, Sandy," said the laird
encouragingly. And Sandy tried—tried
so thoroughly that the laird gazed
mingled awe and admiration as the
whisky gurgled and gurgled out of the
flask down the swarthy throat, until,
with scarce a heel tap left In it. the
"pocket pistol" was handed back to
the owner.
"Hoot, Sandy, maybe ye were rlcht
—maybe ye canna trink oot of a bot-
tle," gasped the laird, with a mighty
sigh, "but, eh, mon, ye'd soon leearn!"
—Bailey's Magazine.
When Cannon Were a Novelty.
There is an amusing description by
Munro, an old Scottish soldier, of the
effect of cannon, when they were new
weapons of warfare. "For a long
time," he says, "used for the batter-
ing down of walls and cities, they
were at last used in the field to break
squadrons and batailes of horse and
foot. And how soone the trumpliet
did sound the enemy was thundered
on so that they were cruelly affright-
ed, men of valor being suddenly tak-
en away, *ho before were wont to
fight valiantly and long with sword
and launce. But now men are mar-
tyrised and cut down at more than
half a mile of distance by those
furious and thundering engines of
great cannon."
Love'a Way.
Love makes the heart ao light, so light.
Like thistle-down Its upward flight;
Earth seems so very far away.
And heaven so very near the day.
Love comes a-knocklng at our door,
And whispers all his cunning lore—
Care cannot hurt, nor sorrow blight
The heart that love has made so light.
Love makes the world so bright, so
bright,
tsilvery moonbeams do the night;
Though storms may come und winds may
blow,
As through this weary world we go.
Love sees the sun behind the cloud.
Nor cares If north winds bluster loud—
So much there is that gives dellgtu,
In the world love makes so bright.
Love makes the way so clear, so clear;
No stumbling In the dark, no fear.
The path before me lies so straight,
And at the end the shining gate.
It Is so easy to do right.
To toll, to hope, to climb the height,
Since I have walked with you. my dear,
Along the way love makes so clear.
—Irene L. Dearlng. In Boston Transcript.
Will Cheapen Old Violins.
Are we about to witness a slump In
Strads" and other old violins? A let-
ter received in Rome, from Bucharest,
states that an Italian artist named
Antonio Donardi, long resident there,
has found a method of greatly Improv-
ing the quality of tone in violins. This
result is secured by a certain modifi-
cation of the shape, especially at the
narrower part, rendering the Instru-
ment at the same time more elegant
in form. It Is stated that at a recent
musical conversazione, the Bonardl
instr*ment, although made of new
wood, was tried against an old Gua-
dagnin with triumphant results.—Lon-

An Assumed Right.
It would appear that marriage gives
to the husband In Jamaica peculiar
rights, If one may judge from the re-
mark of a native woman who cams
to a magistrate to make complaint
because a man had knocked her down.
She closed her complaint by saying,
in an aggrieved tone, "And he had no
good right to knock me down; he is
not my husband."—Woman's Home

A growing plant should be kept In

though the wood is supposed to be us
