A Lesson in Health
is this: Keep the blood pure and
free of waste matter. Keeping
the blood in good order means
keeping the Kidneys clear and
helping them, when necessary,
to remove the waste. The Kid-
neys are strainers and likely to
become clogged.

prevent diseases arising from
impure blood by toning and
stimulating the Kidneys and ref
storing them, when deranged,to
their natural functions. Drug-

CENTRAL PARK IN MIDSUMMER.
7Vislt-ors From the Country Numerour
l There at This Season.
1 Central Park reflects all the moods of
the town. When New York is at the
crowded with handsome private vehi-
cles, the bridle paths are alive with well
the restaurants are a dazzling show.
When midsummer comes the park is
given over to boys on vacation and coun-
try folk. Whatever great gathering of
country folks is in town soon manifests
itself in Central Park. The recent Ger-
man festivities brought crowds of
strange Germans to the park, and even
the Christian Endeavor delegates, re-
cently in Boston, made excuse to stop
in New York on the way to homes in
the South and TWest, and were strongly
represented in the Park.
The stranger takes special joy in the
menagerie. the Mall, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, and that foolish shell
ofa castle overlooking the reservoirs.
One finds ther " lost in the Ramble.
Lovers take d» h: Litssecludednooks,
and in the lon;T .-..‘..ed walks from the
castle eastward.
The May parties, which mostly occur
in June, have now given place to little
picnic 'luncheons. Groups of women
and children, both urban and rural, are
scattered all over the park at noon. eat-
ing light luncheons done up in paper
parcels. The restaurants get small rev-
enue from such visitors, though spring
and summer are the harvest time of
the restaurants.
Well-to-do folks from out of town
take luncheon or dinner at these places.
One of the restaurants has hit upon a
scheme that apparently has a bearing
upon the present enforcement of the
Sunday laws. There used to be a bar in
a quiet rear spot, but now the bar is
closed Sundays and week days, and he
who would have something strong or
something cold must sit down at a table
and wait to be served. The head waiter
says gravely it is thought an improprie-
ty to sell anything over the bar in the
park.
One notes in midsummer that nurse-
maids with their little charges are
tle children proportionately more nu-
merous. The change has given the park
policemen more leisure for their ordi-
nary duties.
More men than women are riding
morning and evening, and the character
of the fair bicyclists has changed within
the last few Weeks. Country visitors
stare at the bicycle women because
there are still many country places
where a woman on a wheel is a novelty.
Little country children find the goat
carriages of the Mall a great attraction.
The conduct of the uneasy country par-
ents doing the park with their little
broods is curiously solicitous. The
youngsters are pulled and hauled lest
they become separated from the parents
and so lost. ~
One could recognize the country vis-
itors if in no other way by the fact that
they wear their Sunday clothes. New
Yorkers of like means go to the park in
negligee shirts and thin coats, but the
country folk perspire in starched linen
and black worsted, or the usual summer
suit of light wool lined. The country
visitor seems to know what he ought to
see, a thing about which the resident of
New York is not greatly concerned.
The latter is out to enjoy a shady bench
and to feast. his eye upon smooth green
lawns.
The country visitor regards all this
quiet enjoyment as a waste of time.
‘.Vith twelve hours to do the park he
must hasten from point to point regard-
less of heat, weariness and trickling per-
5 iration. The thing is done by dabs,
and a half hour is saved if possible for
the Museum of Natural History or the
Lenox Library. After that, hot, tired
and wilted, he boards a Fifth avenue
'stage and rides to his hotel to make ready
for seeing New York by electric light.
Banking in the lVest.
It was a new bank in a new town in
Colorado. As the institution opened for
business in the morning a crowd of 200
men gathered, and when the banker ask-
ed what was want-ed the man who had
been appointed Spokesman, replied:
“It’s jest this, J im—we can’t make
out that monthly statement you got out
yesterday.”
“What’s wrong with it?”
“She says deposits amount to 87,000
and cash on hand $9,000.
“Well, that’s correct, and I can’t see
where you have any fault to find,” said
the President.
“Yes, but the boys don’t go much on
figgers. Figgers kin be twisted all
around, you know. Have you got them
'ere $9,000 handy by?”
‘ ‘I have."
“Well, won‘“ "on jest stand up on a
chair and Wu... 1.;e money in the air a
few times and let the boys see the color
of it? Don’t want to put you to any
special trouble, you know, but the crowd
kinder want to feel sure about it.”
The banker got the money from the
safe and followed the suggestion and
l asked if they were satisfied.
“That’s all right.” replied the spokes-
man. “We ain’t much on figgers, but
We know money when we see it. Them
deposits is $7,000 and you’ve got 89,000
to pay ’em. That’s chuck up and no dis-
count!”
“Anything else?” ,
“Jest one little, trifle. It’s kinder got
around town that you are going to Mon-
tana. to-morrer. Before you start jest
count that money into the safe, lock ’er
up as tight as a drum and then call in
two or three of the boys to wa’ch ’er
while you’re gone. We ain’t ehowin’ any
lack of confidence, Jim, but we is givin’
you a pinter on how to run a. bank in
this town without gettin’ your neck ina
slipknot!”—Detroit Free Press.

As far back as seven centuries before
the Christian era there were very gayly

prophet Ezekiel tells of them.

broidered work; their bodies were
swathed in fine linen; they had shoes of
badger skin. They wore ornaments of
gold and silver, rings in the ears, brace- i into the machine and

tells how Rebekah obtained as a gift{.-
a “golden earring of half a Shekel
weight” from Abraham’s servant, who
“put it upon her face.”
At a later period the patriarch Jacob
procured all the earrings which belonged
to his household and hid them under an
oak tree. Subsequently to that time
earrings are frequently spoken of in the
Bible. Even Job, the patient man of
U2, must have owned a lot of them in
the latter part of his life, for when all
his brethren and all his sisters and all
his acquaintances came to comfort him
under his afflictions. “every one of
them gave him an earring of gold.”
In the very early periods of Jewish
history women seem to have been as
fond of dress and decorations as they
are in modern times. When the daugh-
ters of Jerusalem were appareled and
bejeweled in the way described by fie-
kiel, their garments and ornaments
must have been nearly as expensive as
those of the grand dames who now shine
in society. The wearing of "divers col-
ors,” however, does not seem to have
been a mark of honor.
THE COUNT WAS A CONDUCTOR.
Something of Which Ho May Be Proud
\Vhen He Rejolns the Nobility.
Everybody who has ever ridden much
on the Union street cars of San Francis-
co, has at some ime noticed Conductor
Otto W. Mall, a foreigner of distin-
guished manners and master of polite-
ness in six languages—Russian, Danish,
Swedish, English, German and French.
Mall is no longer a conductor, for he has
just inherited nearly a. half million dol-
lars from a wealthy aunt at Copenhagen,
and now he is not ashamed to tell his
friends the truth about his status and
that he is a genuine Danish count.
Mall got 8500 recently, and his attor-
neys at Copenhagen have informed him
that a. draft for any sum within reason
will be honored at an early date, and
that the sum will approximate $500,000.
There has been some delay in the settle-
ment owing to a contest of ti; o will which
was begun by the Count’s cousins some
months ago.
Mall never made himself known to
anybody in California or pretended to be
anything other than a laborer struggling
to get on in the world. He. has been a
conductor on the Union street line for
seven years, though he occasionally quit
to do mining work at the Pioneer mines
in Amador county.
Several years ago he was severely hurt
while helping a woman and her child
from a car. One of the manholes in the
street was open and he fell into it.
Speaking of his inheritance, the Count-
said:
“I always knew I would get a pretty
good inheritance some day, but what
was the use to speak of it? People
would not believe me. and it is a bore to
be talking about expected windfalls. I
may go to Europe on a visit but I think
I shall always make California my tome,
for I have learned to like the State and
its people.
"I can now devote my life to studies
long neglected. I an fond of science.
language, music and art. The experi-
ence I have had as a hard workingman
has taught me how the other half lives.
and I have profited by the lessons. You
ask me why I followed such a business.
I hardly know, but I do know when one
gets in a. rut it is very hard to get out
of it.” '
Men Above Principles.
“Ah, yes,” confessed the sweet girl
graduate of yesterday, who is to-d-ay a
bride, “it is true that we pledged our-
selves never to marry, but we value
men above principles, don‘t you
know.”
And the mind that had then discussed
the transcendental in municipal poli-
tics now concentrated itself upon the
purchase of an oil stove that would cook
steak and not heat the room—Detroit

A
stylish bonnets and hats made entirely
of paper, frame, trimming, ornaments
and all. Parssols of paper do not seem
to have been thought of yet, but satch-
els and trunks of paper are common
enough. The paper trunk, despite its
frail sound, is the despair of the baggage
smasher. It refuses to smash. '
So do paper car wheels. They have
been in use for years on some of the
most important railroads in this coun-
try. It must not be supposed that they
are made entirely of paper. This ma-
terial only forms the interior shell. Hav-
ing been subjected to terrific pressure,
it is moulded and bolted firmly to the
outer rim, which is of steel. Greater
durability and lightness are claimed for
these wheels, but don’t let the idea of
lightness lead you to get under one. If
you do you may possibly have use for
one of the paper coffins which are being
turned out at wholesale by a firm at
Westfield. Mass.
The railroad train of the future is like-
ly not only to have paper wheels, but to
run on paper rails. , These are made en-
tirely of paper and are formed in moulds
under great pressure. They have been
used to some extent in Russia and Ger-
many, and are said to be free from
many of the defects of the ordinary steel
rails.
Paper horseshoes are another Eu-
ropean invention. Am 'r the advan-
tages claimed for then; is that they
maintain a rough surface. snail-ling the
horse to get a goo‘l grip on the smooth
pavement. German papermakers have
put on the market a substance called
“papier sculptor.” which is used instead
of clay for modelling. It is simply
paper pulp kept soft enough to be
worked.
Paper macho ceilings and wall decor-
ations are very fashionable. ’ They may
look like leather or brocade or a thou-
sand and one handsome embossed ef-
fects, but they are wood pulp just the
same.
The housefurnishing departments in
the big shops firnish interesting evi-
dence of the extent to which paper on-
ters into ordinary life. Paper pails and
tubs are appreciated by the surburban
dweller who hasn’t “set" tubs. They
are much lighter and easier to keep
clean as well as cheaper than the old
style. Water coolers are made of
paper. So is the much abused cuspi—
dor.
’Peach baskets, berry baskets and but-
ter boxes are made of paper and almost
everything under the sun—salt,‘which
used to come in pretty blue and white
bags. oatmeal, crackers. ice cream. can-
dy, shoes, corsets, dresses—45 sent home

In J span, they say. some folks live in
paper houses, and in the country paper
boats are use. Nor must the necessary
sewer pipe be forgotten. Paper pipes
for carrying water. steam or electricity
are not uncommon. As conduits for
electricity they are considered cape,
even though the wire are be not in-
sul‘ated.
Chicago‘s Plain Smiths Distanced.
The Smiths are hopelessly beaten in
the race for numerical superiority in
Chicago unless the average paterfamil-
ias of that name can boast that he is the
ra
father of seven children. like J ohnsons
came to the front two years ago, and _
this year they have shown the J oneses,
Browns and all the rest a few things
about the human multiplication ta-
ble.
Sixteen pages in the new city directory
have been preempted by the Johnsons,
who muster about 3,063 names. At the
average rate of five to a family, the
J ohnsons will number 18,320. The
Smiths can fill only thirteen pages with
a total of 2,997.
One explanation given for the distanc-
ing of the Smiths is that they have be-
come tired of being “the ggeatest fami-
ly” and donned disguises. The number
of Smyths and Smythes has increased at
an abnormal rate. The hyphen has done
much to the same end, and the directory
is teeming with Lloyd-Smiths, J ones-
Smiths and Jenkins-Smiths.-—Chicago
