"How the Barber Got His Sign.
The striped barber pole origi
nated in England in the Middle
Ages, when the professions of the
surgeon and the tonsorial artist
were one. Phlebotomy was then
considered a cure for every ill.
During the operation, the
unfortunate patient had to grasp a
pole firmly in his hand, that the
blood might flow more freely.
This pole was usually painted red
and to it were attached the white
bandages which the barber surgeon,
or the surgeon barber, used to
stop the blood. When not in use
the pole was suspended outside
the shop, sometimes capped with
a basin, to inform wounded trav
elers where they might obtain
relief. ,
The practice was made perman
ent finally by law, and even after
the professions became separate,
both the barber and the surgeon
had to erect the poles outside their
establishments. Sunday Maga

There is a great, and at times,
raucorous rivalry between the
twin cities, Minneapolis and St.
Paul. The story is told that the
Minneapolis school board was at
one time about to decide the
question of having the Bible read
in the public schools. One
member of the. board confessed
that he had never read the book,
and asked a postponement' of act
ion for two weeks while he
acquainted himself with it.
At the end of the time he de
clared himself firmly opposed,
saying that he didn't believe in
patting in a book that gave dozens
of pages to St. Poul, but never
said a word about Minneapolis.

Courier-Journal.)

It . does seem that women have
ting up
democracy.
Whatever the individual Hearst j
may be, he is not a democrat.
Whatever Hearstism may be, it is j
not democracy. That Hearst gave !
utterance to many ugly truths dur
ing the just ended campaign need
not be denied; but no candidate
for office can be separated from his
character, his associates and his
methods; Hearst bought and paid
for the official democratic label.
Through bargain, intrigue and
treachery he made a foul deal with
Tammany. With his money and
his machinery he constructed a
holding company called the inde
pendence league. By the excesses
and extremism of his newspapers
he consolidated the labor union
vote. All this was purely personal
politics, selfish politics, venal poli
tics. At the best it could only
have subtituted in New York for a
corrupt republican ring a corrupt
Hearst ring.
But its triumph would have mis
led honest democrats all over the
land. Its triumph would have
poured into the next nominating
national democratic convention a
flood of base money, a flock of
unclean .birds of prey, and a'uois
ome gathering of mercenaries, ad
venturers and crooks. It would
have both diverted and deflowered
all democratic standards.
Death was preferable to this.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely dos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured oy Hall's Catarrh

Uncle Sam Can Save $60,000,000
The United States imports an
nually about $60,000,000 worth of
drugs and dyes made from products
that could be grown in the United
States just as well. Camphor now
sells for 25 cents a ' pound, and,
while not an ounce of it is grown
in this country, the Government
has demonstrated that camphor
trees are successful here. Licorice
root is another thing that possesses
great possibilities. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has demon
strated that the licorice plant is
hardy as far north as Pennsylvania.

James McNeil Whistler, the fa
mous painter, had a French poodle
of which he was extravagantly
fond, relates the Argonaut. The
poodle was seized with an affection
of the throat, and Whistler had the
audacily to send for the great
throat specialist, Mackenzie.
Sir Morell, when he saw that he
had been called in to treat a dog,
didn't like it much, but he said
nothing. He prescribed pocketed
a big fee, and drove away.
The next dav he sent post haste
for Whistler; and Whistler, think
ing he was summoued on some
matter connected with his beloved
dog. dropped his work and rushed
like the wind to Macdenzie's.

I wanted to see you about having

He Served His Country ao Truly as
Any Soldier In Battle.
At the close of the franco-Prussian
war a hasty conference was
held by the German leaders to de
cide upon the amount of indemnity
which should be exacted from
France. Bismarck, differing from
Yon Moltke, telegraphed to Berlin
for a financier in whom he had un
bounded confidence. The man was
a Hebrew and was for some reason
disliked, by the great Prussian gen
eral. When, therefore, he gave his
opinion :that the amount demanded
should he so many thousand million
francs Yon Moltke exclaimed im
patiently: ''Absurd! It is too much!"
"I know the resources of the
French people," said the financier
calmly. "They can pay it."
tt is a monstrous demand! re
peated -Yon Moltke angrily. "If a
man had begun when the world was
created to count he would not have
reached that sum now."
"And that is the reason," inter
rupted Bismarck quickly, his eye.
twinkling, "that I got a man who
counts from Moses."
Von Moltke and the Hebrew tried
to look grave, but both laughed, and
the storm was averted.
The sequel to the anecdote has a
deeper meaning. The financier,
when he received the summons to
the conference, was undergoing
treatment for some affection of the
eyes which required confinement to
a dark chamber. His oculist warn
ed him that if he obeyed the sum
mons the exposure and delay in the
treatment would almost inevitably
result in loss of sight.
He was silent a moment and then
said: "I think that I am needed. I
have no right to consider my sight.
I will go."
He went, and the results which
the oculist had feared ensued. He
became blind for life.
Von Moltke, when the story was
told him, said briefly: "I wronged
the man. He has served his coun
try as truly as any soldier on the
field." '
Gold and Silver Bugs.
The most remarkable gold bugs in
the world are found in Central
America. They belong to the genus
plusiotis, and one might easily im
agine a specimen to be the work of
some clever artificer in metal. The
head and wing cases are brilliantly
polished, with a luster as of gold it
self. To sight and touch they have
all the seeming of metal, and it is
hard to realize that the creature is
a mere animal. Oddly enough, there
is another species of plusiotis from
the same region, which has the ap
pearance of being wrought in solid
silver, freshly burnished. 'One of
the most beautiful bugs in the world
is a small beetle known to scienco
as the blue hoplia. Its back is an
exquisite iridescent 'sky blue, and
the under part of its body is of a
bright, silver hue. The notion that
it contains silver is widely enter
tained, and attempts have frequent
ly been made to extract silver
from it.

Don't scowl. It spoils faces. Be
fore you know it your forehead will
resemble a small railroad map.
There is a grand trunk line from
your cowlick to the bridge of your

much older you look for it I Scowl
ing is a habit that steals upon us
unawares. We frown when the light
is too strong and when it is too
weak. We tie our brows into a knot
when we are thinking and knit
them even more tightly when we
cannot think. There is no denying
there are plenty of things to scowl
about.
How Animals Doctor Themselves.
Man might often take from the
lower animals a lesson as to the care
of himself when ill. All sorts of
animals suffering from fever eat
little, lie quiet in dark, airy places
and drink quantities of water. When
a dog loses his appetite he knows
where to find chiendent (dog grass),
which acts as a purgative and emet
ic. Sheep and cows when ill seek
certain herbs. Any animal suffer
ing from chronic rheumatism keep3

chimpanzee bo wounded he has been
seen to stop the bleeding by a plas
ter of chewed np leaves and grass, j
Killing Wild Ducks In China.
One Chinese method of killing
wild ducks consists in placing cala- j
bashes on the water in great num- j
bers. After awhile, when the ducks
have become used to the'v presence,

with holes, so he can see, and, with
the rest of his body tinder water,
approaches the ducks. Seizing on?
