lions is the Ohio Pythian
Home, nt Springfield, Ohio,
which is ably presided over
by Superintendent Le Fevre
and hts wife, Mrs. Callie I.
Le Fevre, the matron. The
latter has recently written n
letter, which will command
widespread attention because
of the prominence of the
writer. It is as follows:
"Messrs. W. H. Hooker &
Co., New York: Last year I
used Acker's English Remedy
at the suggestion of a friend,
for a serious, long-standing
throat difficulty and extreme
ly hard cough. Had used
many well-spoken of prepara
tions without relief. 1 can
honestly say that Acker's
English" Remedy removed the
difficulty and "stopped the
cough. I did not purchase Matron Ohio Pythian Homo.
or use more titan tnree doi-
tics, and at least one-half of the last is still on hand. I also consulted phy
sicians with no permanent results." (Signed) Callie I. Lk Fevre.
The friend to whom Mrs. Le Fevre refers as having suggested Acker's
English Remedy is Mrs. W. B. Chilton, wife of the president of the Troy
Transfer Co., of Troy. Ohio, where this remedy has accomplished many other
cures in Throat and Lung Troubles. In conversation with an acquaintance
Mrs. Le Fevre also said: "If you will call on Mr. W. H. Schauss, a prominent
china and art merchant of Springfield, Ohio, you will find that he, too, has had
any amount of experience with Acker's English Remedy in his family, and
thinks they cannot keep house without it."
Acker's English Remedy is sold bj- all drusgists under a positive guarantee
that vour money will be refunded In case of failure, ajc, 50c. and $1 a bottle In

ful Little Story.
"It was several years ago," said the
woman nt the typewriter to a New York
Times writer, "ami I was young, but I
knew 1113' work. I had been very anx
ious to get a position in a certain law
office, because the head of the firm was
au old friend of my father, and it would
not be quite like going a 111 ong.st rangers
to be there. There was a vacancy. I
applied for the position and obtained it.
ly first day's work was along the regu
lar lines of routine work in a law cilice,
and it was not until toward night that
I was called into my employer's private
office to take dictation, lie dictated
clearly and distinctly. I took the notes
easily, copied them on the machine and
was told that the work was satisfactory
when I took it in.
"There had been only one thing that
I noticed particularly while I was tak
ing the dictation. My employer seemed
to be in the first stages of the grip, to
judge by the. frequent 'snifs' that he
gave.
" Toor man,' I thought to myself. 'I
am afraid lie is going to be ill.'
"In his private office I had noticed a
placard bearing the words: 'No Smok
ing,' but I had'not given it thought un
til the next morning, when I went
again to take dictation, and there I sav.
an addendum to the sign. It read: 'Xo
1'erfuming,' and was in the handwrit
ing of my employer. It was aimed at a
weakness of mine, I knew, and that had
been undoubtedly the cause of the grip
symptoms. 1 did not say anything, but
I took the hint to heart, nncH can say
that I never offended again in the same
way."

about him on September 12 to n New
York Times reporter:
"From the well-known principle of
the shifting of the line in the spectrum
of a star we can determine whether the
star is approaching or receding from
the observer and how rapidly. For most
stars the velocity is constant. For some
stars the velocity is variable, due to the
attractions of companion stnrs. The re
cent observations of Polaris at Lick ob
servatory show that its velocity is varia
ble. It is approaching the solar .system
now with a velocity of eight kilometers
per second. This will increase in two
days to 1-1 kilometers, and in the next
two days will decrease again to eight
kilometers. This cycle of change is re
peated every four days. The bright Po
laris revolves about the center of gravi
ty of itself and an invisible companion
once in four days. The orbit is nearly
circular and is comparable in size with
the moon's orbit around the earth.
Uoth companions of Polaris are invisi
ble, but their presence is proved by dis
turbances which their attractions pro
duce in the motion of Polaris."
"Give me a quart of j-olks."
"What are whites worth to-day?"
"Send me up n gallon of mixed."
Such expressions as these will be fa
miliar terms in grocery stores nnd
butcher shops in Kansas City before
long, says the Kansas City Journal.
Housewives will make them so, for eggs
will be sold by the pint, quart and
gallon, instead of by the dozen. In" fact,
the big confectionery establishments
of the city buy them by the gallon now.
Kitchen economy suggested the scheme
and local packers immediately took
it up.
How often it is that n cook will break
a dozen or more eggs just in order to
get the yolks to iruikr n cake. The
whites will be thrown away. Or vice
versa. Why not make a saving of the
whites or yolks, as the case may he,
was suggested. The packers put the
question to the confectioners, and the
latter saw the point. Now when a con
fectioner wants to make stuff with the
yolks he sends to a packing house and
buys yolks by the gallon; if he wants to
use the whites for something he sends
for them; if he wants to use both he
sends and gets a mixed can. It is pre
dicted that housewives will soon adopt
the same method.
With this new system of handling
"hen fruit" there is absolutely no loss.
The eggshells are even used. They are
ground up and gold for chicken feed.

An orange seller the other day found
n bad specimen among his fruit and
carelessly tossed It away. It struck an
old woman in the face, nml she miulu
such a fuss over the acident that the

go her way in pence.
She had scarcely left when a shnrp
looking boy about 12 years of age slid
up to the fruit seller and said: "I say,

"Why, no not If 1 can help it," was
the reply.
"If you are, give me a chance," eon

Temperature of Diamonds.
A good diamond is a good deal colder
than an imitation nnd the lapidaries say
that the best way to detect this dif
ference in temperature is to touch tho
stones to the tongue. Sapphires, emer
alds, rubies, garnets and other precious
stones may be tested in the same way
the real stone is invariably colder
than the imitation. The lapidaries do
not give a reason for the difference,
but it may be found, pcrhnps, in the
greater density) of the real stones,
which make them better conductors
of heat. Detroit Free Press.
