EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.
The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at som<
useful task or employment. ., _
But let dyspepsia or indigestion gel
hold of one, and all endeavor be comer
a burden. - —
"A year ago, after recovering frono
an operation," writes a Michigan lady,
"my stomach and nerves began to glv*
mo much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora
clous, but when indulged, indigestion
followed. Other times I had no app
Ute whatever. The food I took did nol
nourish me and I grew weaker thav
"1 lost interest in everything and
wanted to be alone. I had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trills
would upset me and bring on a violent
headache. Walking across the room
was an effort and prescribed ezerclst
was out of the question.
"1 had seen Qrape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read at th«
time. At last when it seemed as if I
was literally starving, I began to eat
Grape-Nuts.
"I had not been able to work for s
year, but now after two months on
Grape-Nuts I am eager to be at work
again. My stomach gives me no trot*
ble now, my nerves are steady as ever,
and interest in life and ambition havt
come hack with the return to health."

STENOGRAPHERS IN OLD ROME
Even Poets Had Them In the Early
Days, but They Were
Slaves.
Most of us are accustomed to think
of the stenographer as a product of
very modern conditions. As a matter
of fact, however, the profession was
followed as long ago as the days of
the Roman empire. Poets, who are
laughed at nowadays for having pri-
vate stenographers, had them in the
fourth century of our era, and Profes-
sor Cole of Columbia university, in a
paper on "Later Roman Education,"
now translates into English for the
first time the very complimentary ad-
dress of the poet Ausonius to his
stenographic assistant. Many a mod*'
ern business man might say the same
thing, although in less poetic diction.
"Slave," says Ausonius, "skilful mas-
ter of swift notes, come hither. Open
the double page of thy tablets, where
a great number of words, each ex-
pressed by different points, is written
like a single word. I go through great
volumes; and like dense bail the
words are hurled from my noisy lips,
but thine ears are not trembled, nor
Is thy page filled. Thy ha/.d, scarcely
moving, files over the surface of the
wax.
"I wish my mind had as swift a
flight as thy right hand when it an-
ticipates my words. Who, pray, has
betrayed me? Who has toVI you what
I was Just meditating about saying?
How does your winged right hand
steal the secrets of my inmost
thoughts?"
If we remember that in the fourth
century people wrote with sharp points
on wax instead of with pens on paper,
the picture suggested by Ausonius and
his stenographer is surprisingly like
that of the .business man in his office
dictating a letter. The greatest differ-
ence is that Ausonius' stenographer
was a slave, and the modern stenog-
rapher an Independent young wornan
who earns her own living.—Youth's
Companion.
An Execution In the South.
Hall stood as motionless as the
trunk of an oak. A man will show
nervousness with a twitch of the lips,
a roll of the eyeB, or, if in no other
way, with his hands; but I was just
behind him, and not a finger of his
bound hands moved. The sheriff was
a very tender hearted man and a very
nervous one, and the arrangements
for the execution were awkward. Two
upright beams had to be knocked from
under the trap-door, so that it would
rest on the short rope noose that had
to be cut before the door would fall.
As each of these was knocked out the
door sank an inch and the suspense
was terrible. The poor wretch must
have thought that each was the one
that was to send him to eternity.
But not a muscle moved. All was
ready, at last, and the sheriff cried,
in a loud voice:
"May God have mercy on this poor
man's soul!" and struck the rope with
a common hatchet. The black-capped
apparition shot down and the sheriff
ran, weeping, out of the door of the
box.—From "Blue-Grass and Rhodo^
dendron" by John Fox, Jr.
Unhealthy 8pot for Grave.
Whitelaw Reid tells a story about
two friends of his who removed from
New York and purchased a home in
a Massachusetts village. One of their
first visits was to the cemetery. "We
must select a burial lot," the husband
remarked. "Life is uncertain, and we
had better attend to It at once." The
wife agreed, and chose a site on a hill
overlooking a beautiful lake. But the
husband objected. "No, Ann; it's too
much of a hill to climb. Let's look
down toward the lake." These lots
pleased Ann even better than those
more elevated. "here, Frederick,"
she said, "let's decide upon one of
these." Frederick looked at her in
some surprise. "Why, Ann," he re-
plied, "I did think you had better
judgment. I shouldn't think of being
burled in this low, marshy place. It's
the unhealthiest spot in the whole
cemetery."
She Knew Her Own Father.

Much association with grown people
has given her many serious little
ways which contrast strongly with
her tender years.
'Of late she has been Baving ber
pennies to buy a birthday present for
her father, and as the time draws
near she has been much In doubt as
f to what she should get. '
• Recently she was in a street car
•with her mother when an inspiration
;came.
*1 know what I'll buy father for
his birthday," she said.
All the passengers smiled at her
eagerness and listened indulgently to
hear what she might say. Looking at
her mother she said, so audibly as to
be embarrassing:
"I'll buy him a bottle of beer."

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR
"My,mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it I had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, 'Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months' time the Itching,
burning and scalding of ber head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much In debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment Tor the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
"My own case was an eczema In my
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would Itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would flee to my
mother's friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any one's. Ellsworth Dun-
ham, Hiram, Me., Sept. 30, 1909."
. . Does Your Cat Cough?
Poor pussy! As if the immemorial
charges against her of keeping us
awake o' nights and of eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough, the doctors have
just discovered that for years she has
been responsible" for the spread of
diphtheria. Dr. Q. J. Awburn of
Manchester, England, having traced
an epidemic of this disease in a sub-
urb of that city to a pet cat belonging
to one of his patients, has found, after
much clever Investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat
He has therefore recently been warn-
ing all families who own cats to
watch them carefully, and, if they de-
velop coughs, to forbid their being
hugged and petted. Dr. Awburn fur-
ther recommends that if the cough
persists and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
ance. The only really safe way, he
says, is to let the first wheeze be
pussy's death warrant'
What Reslnol Accomplishes Is Truly
Wonderful. *
I frequently have patients who are
troubled with skin eruptions, and have
taken occasion to recommend Resinol,
and in some cases the cures have
seemed miraculous, and had I not seen
them both before and after, would
scarcely have believed them true. One
lady told me that she had spent over
$100 in various remedies, and was
cured with one 50c Jar of Resinol. It
is truly a wonderful cure for eczema
and other itching troubles.

What World Lost?
"It was the worst calamity that ever
happened to me," sighed the pale, in-
tellectual high browed young woman.
"I had written a modern society nov-
el, complete to the last chapter, and
a careless servant girl gathered the
sheets of the manuscript from the
floor, where the wind had blown them,
and used them to start a fire in .the
grate."
"What a burning shame that was!"
commented Miss Tartan.

A TRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO.
Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for
Lewis' Single Binder Cigar
Factory.
What is probably the biggest lot of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States has ju-st
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis'
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads, and is se-
lected from what is considered by ex-
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
Lewis' Single Binder Cigars will appre
ciate this tobacco.

Russia's Growing Population.
This year's census of the Russian
empire adds another five millions to
the population as enumerated in 1908.
The czar's subjects now number 160,-
000,000 and increase every year by
2,500,000 despite wars, epidemics and
internal disturbances. As there is no
lack of cultivated soil in Russia there
seems no reason why this big annual
increase should not continue.
