The aching was bad in the daytime, but just as bad at night, and I was always lame in the morning. I was bothered with rheumatic pains and dropsical swelling of the feet. The urinary passages were painful, and the secretions were discolored and so free that often I had to rise at night. I felt tired all day.

One of the most prominent makers of this style of pen has a com plaint clerk to whom those who have trouble are sent to have their difficul ties righted. Sometimes the clerk will find that It is simply a case o( dirty oen, and the thing is soon adjusted. A woman came in the other day and went at the clerk like a Turk. "I bought this pen some time ago and I have never been able to use it at all. I thought this was an honest firm, and if it is not, I should at least think It would not attempt to cheat a worn in. I want my money back." "Let me look at the pen," said the mild-mannered clerk. "Here it is," snappishly said the woman. ^The clerk looked at it and with only a causual observation saw that the pen had never been filled. Then he said: "I think, madam, if you would fill this pen that you would find it worked all right." He then filled it and handed it to her, and she said sheepishly, the snap having all disappeared: "Oh, I didn't know you had to put ink in them."— Brooklyn Eagle. Reminder of the Catspaw.

The two pretty American girls had met two delightful Englishmen on the way across, and had given a cordial in vitation, warmly seconded by their mother, to Sir Charles and his friend to visit them at their country home. One day a message came saying the two men would arrive that afternoon. The family was thrown into a fever of excitement, and many plans for the entertainment of their guests were suggested and abandoned. It was finally decided that as Englishmen are notoriously fond, of a "tub," and their guests were coming directly from the train, they should first be invited to take a bath. After that the. hostess would rely on the inspiration of the moment. The young men arrived promptly, and after some demurring were hur ried off to the bathroom. In about an hour they emerged, and went immedi ately to their hostess, saying: "We are sorry to leave so soon, but we only came to make a call and. our train leaves in fifteen minutes."—Lippin TOtt's Magazine. HER BLOOD TOO THIN GENERAL DEBILITY BESULTS FROM IMPOVERISHED BLOOD. The Remedy That Makes New Bloor Banishes Weakness, Headaches, In digestion and Nervous Trochlea. Hundreds of women suffer from head aches, dizziness, restlessness, languor and timidity. Few realize that their misery all comes from the had state of their blood. They take one thing for their head, another for their stomach, a third for their nerves, and yet all the while it is simply their poor blood that is the canse of their discomfort. If one sure remedy for making good, rich blood were nsed every one of their distressing ailments would disappear, as they did in the case of Mrs. Ella F. Stone, who had been ailing for years and was completely run down before she re alized the nature of her trouble. "For several years," said Mrs,Stone, I suffered from general debility. It began about 1896 with, indigestion, ner vousness and steady headaches. Up to 19001 hadn't been able to find any relief bom this condition. I was then very thin and bloodless. An enthusiastic friend, who had nsed Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, urged me to give them a trial aud I finally bought a box. I did not notice any marked chaugt from the tine of the first bos, but I de termined to give them a fair trial and I •kept out. When I had finished the sccond box I could see very decided signs of improvement in my condition I be gan 1o feel better all over iand to have hopes of a complete cure. I used.iu all eight or ten boxes,'qua when I stoppetl had got back my toadM regu lar Weight aud a good healthy color and the gain has lasted. I can eat what! please without discomfort.

One of the curiosities of Burma is a cigar of monstrous and alarming ap pearance, which every one smokes from an early age. "The indigenous article is a monster eight inches long," writes 'V. C. Scott O'Connor in his book, "The Silken Bast." "It consists of chopped wood, tobacco, molasses and various herbs, wrapped in the sil ver-white skin of a bamboo. So wide in diameter is it that It completely fills up the mouth of any young dam sel who tries to smoke it. For pres entation purposes this long cheroot is often wraped at one end in a coat of purple or gold paper. It accumulates a formidable mass of fire at the light ed end and requires some skill in smoking. But the Burman infant ac quires this skill before he can walk and while he is still at the breast. No one thinks of smoking such a cigar through. Two or three long puffs, the lips of the smoker thrust out to meet the circle of the cigar aud It is put down or passed on to some good fel low sitting by." A member of the Washington bar who recently returned from a trip to the Ozark mountains' of Arkansas re lates an amusing experience he had with a ta% gaunt native in one of the most desolate passes of that vange. "-We were riding in a springless wagon over the roughest road it had ever been my misfortune to encounter in all my travels," said the lawyer, according to the Washington Star, "and the desolation about lis was almost appalling. For more than an hour we had not seen a human being. Suddenly a member of our party spied a figure of a man against the skyline ahead of us. As we approach ed the man we observed" that he had a basket on hifl arm. He greeted us with the salutation: "Hello, j'ou uns. Be you strang ers?" We assured him that we were visit ors and remarked about the utter Before an audience of London child rena scientist delivered a lecture the other, day on the methods of measur ing time as employed by the ancients. The lecturer began with the Chal deans, who, like the Chinese, observ ed the movements of the moon and stars, and believed' that an eclipse was due to the devouring of the moon by a dragon. Then the lecturer pame to the Egyp tians, who erected obelisks to serve as the gnomons or pointers or sun dials. ... To the delight of the juvenile audi ence the lecture room was darkened and the sun tan electric glow lamp) was manipulated at the end of a fish ing rod to make a model obelisk cast the shadow: The Greeks, always artistic, placed a buoyant figure of a magician in a long glas jar, and water dripped in, and as the figure rose it pointed to the hour on a marked sun dial.- Whin Finnlgin first went to Flannlgan He writed tin pages, did Finnlgin An* he tould Jist how the smash oc curred.

Curious Ways of Burmese Travel in Burma has its advantages and its disadvantages. One of the lat ter is to be found in the roads. Mr. O'Connor says: "Presently we come upon the cart containing the advance baggage stuck deep in the mire and unable to proceed. It is not for any lack of spirit in the little beasts that are harnessed to it, for, small though they are, scarcely bigger than big dogs, the cattle in this district are ex tremely well bred, very handsome and full of pluck and endurance. One of the little cattle is half buried in the slush and his legs are entirely hidden. The yoke presses heavily upon his neck and he is in sore straits. "Slowly the cart is unladen of all its burden, the driver stands up and calls to his cattle by name. They make a splendid, frantic effort, go down on their tinees, recover and so come pant ing out of the slough in which they have been entombed. Such is the Bur man unmetaled highway at this sea son. after three days of fine weather."

Un covering his basket he exposed abmit six of the toughest looking pies I had ever seen the likes of and informed us blandly that they were for sale at fifty cents apiece. "Whew! Fifty, cents apiece?" 1 queried. "Why, at Uttle Rock you can buy fine pies at from ten to twen ty cents each." "Huh," rejoined the native, disdain fully, "I reckon you kin at Little Rock, but yer In the Ozark mountains now, an' say, stranger, duz yer think I'm up hyar in this dodblasted pizen kentry fer the good of my health?" The system which the Greeks fol lowed of dividing the day into twelve equal "hours" from the rising to the setting of the sun was irregular. It behooved the Greek schoolboy to be good in summer and work off his superfluous boyishness in winter, be cause an hour's "imposition" in sum mer was twenty minutes longer than in winter. A description of the hour-glass led to the exhibition of a new adaptation of it. A breakfast egg was suspended from the beam of a pair of scales, and dipped into, a saucepan .of boiling water. The sand from an hour-glass trickled into the scale which hung from the other end of the beam until the egg was cooked. Then the weight of the sand lifted the egg out of the saucepan and rang an electric bell.
