STOOD FOR TWENTY-ONE YEARS
Whistling for Exercise.
Whistling Is the newest fad put
forth by the health seekers, and the
possible result of such an exercise
coming Into universal practice fills
one with dire thoughts for the future
Unfortunately, all who whistle are
not experts, and the Idea of all the
members of a household Indulging In
the mournful sounds which some
times issue from some gifted throat is
anything but pleasing.
It certainly does away with the old
adage which most women have had
thrown at them in their tomboy days:
"Whistling girls and crowing hens al
ways come to some bad ends.”
TWITCHING NERVES
Charley Radbourn’s Great Feat ot
Pitching Never Equaled.
In the twenty-one years that have
gone by since it was made, no pitcher
has ever equaled the record of Charles
Radbourn, the mainstay of the victor-
ious Province Grays when that team
won the championship of the National
League in 1884 for the second time.
The club had but two first class bat-
teries, Radburn and Gilligan, Sweeney
and Nava, and it seemed crippled when
Charles Sweeney was expelled from
the nine and the league in the twelfth
week of the season for conduct char-
acterized as disgraceful. After July
23 the bulk of the pitching fell on
Radburn, who before that time had
been at outs with the management.
But when he found that everything
depended on him, Radbourn worked in
a manner that has never been equaled
and never will be in these days, when
a pitcher feels overworked with more
than two days a week. He promised
Manager Bancroft he would face all
the opposing teams until the pennant
was won, and he carried out that
promise, winning twenty consecutive
games in August and September, and
twenty-nine games with but one break
in the run. ^ ,
A Serious Hereuita'y Trouble Cured
By Dr. William*' Pink Pills.
Sufferers from ailments that have af-
flicted in regular succession one genera-
tion after another of their family are, as
a rule, inclined to subfuit to them as in-
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and a readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
M«8. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 408
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her ail-
ment and her cure:
“For two years I suffered from a trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years ac«
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
fo*-y. But about two years ago,when my
sou was realizing benefit from the use of
Dr.Williams’ Pink Pills, I thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
ms. My trouble had then become so
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. I often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After tak-
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and I ceased to use the remedy.
I evidently stopped a little too soon for
nervousness came back after a mouth or
so and I used the pills again for a short
time. Relief came at once and Btnce I
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return of the
twitchiugs or from any interference with
my sleep.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-
tion, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci-
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
■weakness audthe special ailmentsof giris
and women. For further information,

It is the habitual thought that
frames itself into our life. It affects
us even more than our intimate social

have not so much to do in shaping
our lives as thoughts have which we
harbor.—J. W. Teal.

Individuality in Signatures.
The signature of an individual has
long been recognized as the best and
most reliable proof of identification,
and in consequence the seal has long
since gone out of favor. Although the
modern system of penmanship tends
toward teaching the same style, yet,
notwithstanding, no two individuals
write alike. After a person has at-
tained majority the handwriting be-
comes uniform and fixed, the signa-
ture always being the same, and
hence any unconscious change in the
writing points to a physical or men
tal deterioration.
Horse-power.
The word “horse-power,” as applied
to automobiles, means just the same
as when applied to any other engine.
Horse-power is the name of the unit
in terms of which engineers measure
the power of steam-engines, water-
wheels and other prime movers. It
Is defined to be the rate at which an
engine works when It does 33,000 foot-
pounds of work per minute, a foot-
pound being the amount of work nec-
essary to raise a pound weight a foot
high.
Roman System of Figuring.
Counting on the fingers was a reg
ular system for the young Romans.
They would make eighteen move-
ments with the left hand for the num-
bers below lOf, and eighteen with
the right hand for those above. T*ivo
kinds of counting machines caAed
an abacus, were also used. f?ne «4S
a board strewn with sand, on whvAh
geometrical figures were drawn. The
other was a frame, with balls moved
In grooves to represent figures, with
a special contrivance for doing frac-
tions. As teachers were not very pa-
tient In those days, arithmetic might
be said to have been learned less by
rule than by ferrule.
Every houseKeeper snouia Know tnai
If they will buy Defiance Cold Water
Starch for laundry use they will eava
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 Starches are put
up in %-pound packages, and the price
is the same, 10 cents. Then again
because Defiance Starch is free from
all injurious chemicals. 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 letters and figures
“16 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save
much time and money and the annoy-
ance of the iron sticking. Defiance
never sticks.
A girl will believe anything a man
tells her during courtship, but after
marriage—well, that’s another story.

CUT IN RANKS OF “SOCIETY.”
Mrs. John Jacob Astor Will Reduce
New York’s Fashionables.
Some of the prominent members of
New York’s “400” are not to be invit-
ed to the ball which is to be held at
the historic old Astor house, Lew York,
some time in April, thus setting a new
precedent in metropolitan social cir-
cles. This is the second hard blow
that Gotham society has received this
season, Mrs. John Jacob Astor some
time ago having reduced the social
scale to seventy-nine. This time the
mercury of social supremacy will fall
even lower, for but few members of
the recognized leaders of society will
he invited to this ball—an affair that
will be the greatest and most fash-
ionable of its kind in the history of
New York. The ballroom of the Astor
house, which is now used as a dining
room, has an interesting history. It
was boro that Prince de Joinville of
the court of France was entertained
about the year 1840, or shortly after
the house was built. Other noted peo-
ple of this and other countries have
also helped to make the place famous

You can not make sweet butter in a
foul, unclean churn. The stomach serves
r.s a churn in which to agitate, work up
and disintegrate our food as it is being
digested. If It be weak, sluggish and
foul the result will be torpid, sluggish
liver and bad. Impure blood.
The Ingredients of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery are Just such as best
serve to correct and euro all such de-
rangements. It Is made up without a
drop of alcohol In Its composition; chem-
ically pure, triplo-refined glycerine being
used Instead of the commonly employed
alcohol. Now this glycerine is of itself a
valuable medicine, instead of a deleteri-
ous agent like alcohol, especially in the
cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia and the
various forms of indigestion. Prof. Finley
Ellingwoodj M. D., of Bennett Medical
College, Chicago, says of it:
"In dyspepsia It serves an excellent pur-
pose. • * * It Is one of the best manufact-
ured products of the present time in Its
action upon enfeebled, disordered stomachs:
especially If there Is ulceration or catarrhal
gastritis (catarrhal inflammation of stomach).

A congregation in Illinois had de-
cided to erect a slew church edifice
and temporary accommodations were
obtained in an abandoned theater. The
clergyman, with folded arms and pom-
pous bearing, directed the efforts of
his sexton, who was busily engaged
in cleaning up the accumulated rub-
bish and pitching it into the flames.
“Let nothing be wasted, William,”
warned the preacher. “Whatever may
be utilized lay it aside, and I will dis-
pose of it later."
A few moments later the clergyman
saw the sexton draw near the fire with
a massive easel-like arrangement.
“William,” he called, “don’t destroy
that; it may be of service.”
“Hardly,” grunted the perspiring
sexton as he tossed the affair into the
flames; “it’s an old sign, ‘Standing
Room Only.’ ’’—Chicago American.

George Westinghouse, .Tr., who is
striving to learn the mysteries of the
manufacture of air brakes made fa-
mous by his father, arrived late at bis
place of work in Pittsburg twice last
week. He is “docked” an hour’s

week's pay. George Westinghouse,
Sr., is fearful publicity will spoil his
only son. The millionaire inventor has
in mind what happened to Algernon
Sartoris, grandson of Gen. U. S. Grant,
when he was an apprentice at the
Westinghouse plant. Algernon got his
name in the papers. He is said to
have strutted about after he had read
the display headlines in the news-
