Daysey Mayme Appleton was read

denly she gave a scream and fell to

cording to tho looks and tradition
Daysey Mayme fainted because she
read the announcement of an old
sweetheart's marriage or death (and
it would turn out afterward, accord
ing to the books and tradition, that he
was a cousin of her old sweetheart by
the same name). But real life is so
unlike the books and tradition. Upon
being revived Daysey Mayme related
that she saw hosiery advertised for 27

TOLD THE TIME THBEB
THOUSAND YEARS AGO
ANCIENT CHINESE CLOCK.
The most Interesting of all water
clocks Is undoubtedly the "copper jarB
dropping water," In Canton, China,
where I saw It In 1897. Referring to
the simple line sketch, which I make
from memory, Figure 8, and reading
four Chinese characters downward the
translation is "Canton City." To the
left and still downward "Hon-woo-et-low,"
which is "Copper jars dropping
water." Educated Chinamen Inform
me that It is over 3,000 years old and
had a weatber vane. As they speak
of it as "the clock of the street arch"
this would look quite probable; since
the little open building, or tower in
which It stands is higher than sur
rounding buildings. It Is therefore
reasonably safe to state that the Chi
nese had a weather and time station
1,000 years before our era. It consists
of four copper jars partially built in
masonry forming a stair-like structure.
Commencing at the top jar each one
drops Into the next downward till the
water reaches the solid bottom Jar. In
this lowest one a float, "the bamboo
stick," is placed and indicates the
height of the water and thus In a rude
way gives the time. It is said to be
set morning and evening by dipping
the water from Jar 4 to Jar 1, so It
runs twelve hours of our time. What
are the uses of Jars 2 and 3, since
the water simply enters them and
drips out again? Popular Mechanics.
SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS.
By Clarence L. CuUen.
The reward of marital virtue Is sus
picion. It Is one thing to win a matrimonial
prize and entirely another one to cash
the ticket
Gradually the "How-dare-you-sir!"
girl Is being eliminated by- certain In
definable forces in our civilization.
Why is it that the woman with the
protruding forehead, simply draped
with hair, will wear a hat that tilts
'way back on her head?
Of course everybody feels sorry for
her and all like that, but nevertheless
it's no wonder the watery-eyed cerise-
nosed woman with hay fever takes to
the mountains.
One of the delightful compensations
for males is that the other girl infalli
bly carries in stock a fine little outfit
of remedies for the article known as a
broken heart.
The bread-and-butter young woman
who thinks that the dissipated divvle
of a man Is Just gra-a-and isn't the
kind that sticks along with her Job
when she marries one of ''em.
The millennium will have arrived
when the really-and-truly bathing girl
looks even oue-eighth as attractive as
the bathing girl in the illustrated sec
tions of the Sunday newspapers.
There's money in it for the iit'rary
feller who'll cook up a regular day-by-
day series of letters for the use of tue
unfortunate married chaps who have
to write every day to their vacation
lzed wives.
Why is it that, after you spend a
long time selecting a cute little watch
for your wife, she wears It for Just
three days and then sticks it away in
some hidden jewelry junk box for the
remainder of time and eternity?
Another young woman who wonders
why it is taking her such an uncon
scionably long time to snag a meal
ticket in the shape of a husband Is the
one who bullies restaurant waiters,
theater ushers, saleswomen in stores
and so on, when . eligible men folks
happen to be with her.

Interest will attach to the effort of
the steamer Douglas crew to find and
possess themselves of the steamer Pe-
wablc which, since 1866, has laid at
the bottom of Lake Huron, off Thun
der Bay Island, loaded with refined
copper, silver bullion and money. The
sunken craft lies 160 feet below the
surface. Several attempts have ben
made by divers to get this treasure,
valued at over fl.000,000, and five div
ers have forfeited their lives by stay
ing under water too long. A diving
rig, wllch has taken eight yean to
perfect, Till be used this time. If suc
cessful Jills time the owners of the rig
will go after other submerged vessel
with even larger treasure.

Youngly Did you ever notice that

Save the Babies.
INFANT M0KTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or mora
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they aro fifteen !
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of theso
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher.
Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria
in many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy."
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Cas
toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and
benefit to my patients."
Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Cas
toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." !
Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six
years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most
heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children."
Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., Bays: 'Tour Castoria i3 an ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it While I do not advo
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an.
exception for conditions which arise in the care of children."
Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds th
esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil
dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for Infantile ailments."
Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very
fnest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality a3 to its efficiency
and merits."
Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef
fective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such,
a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."
