Change That Is Universally Consid-
ered an Improvement Is Being
Strongly Urged.
At the present time there is a
great diversity in the character of
the signals made use of by the dif-
ferent countries in the meteorological
service, particularly in the matter of
storm signals. It is probable that a
movement will be started soon to
bring about the adoption of a uni-
form code. These storms signals are
of great value and are particularly
effective in the temperature latitudes,
where the storms are of wide area and
of comparatively slow movement. In
the case of tropical cyclones, however,
such as the West Indian hurricanes
and the typhoons of the far east,
they do not give all the information
desirable. If a vessel is about to
leave port in these regions the mas-
ter wishes chiefly to know whether he
is likely to encounter a cyclone along
his route. A system of signals has
been devised by Rev. L. Froc, direct-
or of the Zikawei observatory, near
Shanghai, and is now in use experi-
mentally on the China coast, which
gives notice of the occurrence of a
cyclone anywhere over the adjacent
seas, together with its probable
course.
Artificial Ears.
Artificial ears are so skillfully madc-
that they may with difficulty be cM'
tinguished from natural ones, it is
claimed
When the individual who has lost
an ear applies to the manufacturer for
a substitute there is made a mold of
the remaining ear. If there be left
any part of the other, a mold of that
part also must be taken to assist in
the fitting of the artificial. Manufac-
turers assert that noMwo ears are
alike, and that it takes a skillful
workman to prepare an ear from the
mold or molds.
When finished the new ear is pasted
on the stump, or simply set in the
position of the lost ear. It is really
only the first artificial ear that is
expensive, the cnief cost pertaining
to the making of the' mold. Vulcan-
ized rubber, which can be bent and
twisted, has been found to constitute
the best material for the making of
artificial eafrs.—Harper's Weekly.
Profits in Weeds.
All things seem to bé coming the
farmer's way these days. The gov-
ernment—analyzes his soil, experi-
ments for him and is talking of lend-
ing him money, and now even hi?
weeds, which have long been regard-
ed as an ineradicable pest, are to be
turned to account for his profit. Mr.
Francis L. Stewart, who has a labora-
tory in western Pennsylvania, has
patented a process for making paper
from weeds and believes that by
means of it good paper may be made
for less than we pay for the poor
quality of paper today.
WThen the demand for weeds in-
creases the slack farmers whose over*-
grown land has heretofore been a
reproach may surpass their mor©
thrifty neighbors in returns for their
respective crops.
Repartee.
"My only fear in respect to woman
suffrage," said Mr. Baldibrow, "is its
possible effect upon the public ílife
of the future. Woman's love of a
bargain would cause her to go in for
cheap statesmen."
"Yes?" said Mrs. Baldibrow, with
an indulgent smile. "Well—look at
the pile of illustrious remnants you
men are still sticking to!"
Whereupon Mr. Baldibrow began to
hem like a stump-speaker, but noth-
ing came of it. His eloquence was
not equal to the occasion.—Harper's
Weekly.
Breathing Cold Air.
Keep your mouth shut when breath-
ing the cold air. Breathing cold air
by the mouth is one of the common-
est causes of colds—the nose filters
the air and warms it before it
reaches the lungs.
Toothsome.
Her head lay pillowed upon his
broad shoulder, and her face was so
near his that a lock of her hair swept
his cheek. She spoke not a word, but
her eyes gazed tearfully and appeal-
ingly into those dark orbs of his, now
filled with a smiling sort of pity.
Suddenly he spoke, and at his
words the girl shuddered.
"There are two cavities to be fill-
ed with gold." he said, and he drew
.ip his wicked little drill.

Laura's Answer.
Laura, aged four, was asked by a
visitor what nationality she was.
'I'm an American," she replied, "the
same as my papa is; but my mamma;
is French."
"And what is your baby brother,,
then?" queried the visitor, just to see
what the answer would be.
it came: "I don't know yet—ho
big enough to talk yet."
Blood Was Wr
All women, who suffer from the aches and pá
to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the i
scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts
yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly
relieving pain, building up strength, reglilating the systc
and toning up the nerves. During the past half
thousands of ladies have written to tell of the quick
results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine.

Mrs. Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for j
nearly ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. G, she-)
says: " I was not able to do my own housework. My
stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back-
ache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, but they |
did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now
I am in the best health I have ever been. I can never praise
Cardui enough." It is the best tonic,'for women.
Whether seriously sick, or simply weak; try Cardui

Power Accorded Municipality.
A municipality has power to fix by
ordinance the weight of the standard
loaf of bread to be sold, under a de-
cision by the Supreme court of the
United States in a suit to test the
constitutionality of an ordinance of
Chicago. The law prohibits the sale
of bread ngt up to the standard weight,
of a loaf or of a specified fractional
part of a loaf, although it may pro-
duce some inconvenience, and the Su-
preme court decides that this is not
an arbitrary or unreasonable exercise
of the police power. The court held
further that a considerable demand
for bread of sizes other than those
fixed by the ordinance does not ren-
der the ordinance invalid.

A newly married couple le • ~>f-
fice of Probate Judge D. A. McCaniess
in Wichita a few days ago. the
bride's hand was a marriage certifi-
cate. Presently the groom re-entered
the office and stood gazing at the
judge. "What can I do for you this
time?" asked the judge. "I—I, well,
I'd like my marriage certificate," stam-
mered the young man. He was told
that it had been given to his wife.
"Oh," he remarked, "is that all we
get? I thought we each got one."—

Signs of the Times.
Commenting on the fact that the
Royal Georgraphical society's recent
session was distinguished by the re-
markable lectures on economic geog-
raphy, delivered by Miss Ellen
Churchill Semple of Chicago Univer-
sity, an English review says: "Miss
Semple is one of the greatest authori-
ties on anthropo-geography. It is
satisfactory to know that a woman,
by her research work, should be so
successful a pioneer in a new and
most important branch of geograph-
ical science."
Listen! Say the Girls.
WTiat's the matter with the girls
these days? Can't they hold the at-
tention of any one? Is it necessary
to keep repeating the word "listen"
in an ordinary talk, where the "talkee"
is all attention? A miss of perhaps
17 years asked for a certain brand
of face powder in a drug store re-
cently. This is a fair account of what
she said: "Listen! I want a box of
yuh face powder. Listen! Do you
keep that there kind that comes with
—with a mirror? You know the kind
I mean. Listen! What, shade do
you think I need? Is Raychel (Ra-
chey) too dark? Listen "
That was as much as I heard, says
a writer in the New York Sun. But
it was enough. If a girl has a tooth-
ache or a wart on her finger or a
headache, it is "Listen, listen, listen,"
to the patient or in many cases Impa-
tient drug clerk. No miss, it seems,
considers her vocabulary up to date
unless it is burdened with 'listen."
Girls, take a tip. Put "listen" on tha
shelf.
