The medical profession recognizes to- $ay as It has never done before the re­ markable aid of massage. It has done marvelous things for - paralysis, even for apoplexy, at which doctors once looked on helplessly. Apoplexy is caus­ ed by a clot of blood on the brain, and If that clot can be broken up, if an emptying can be effected of clogged nreins, recovery is in sight Constant massage of the forehead and skull will do It (this has been proved over and over again), while paralyzed limbs, by patient, constant kneading, can have new life rubbed Into them. -- Good Housekeeping.

Birds have as much character as human beings," said a specialist on birds. "Some are the most arrant little aristocrats, while others are regular lit­ tle plebeians. I had a little fellow some time ago who, despite all my ef­ forts, would not bathe. Each morning when, with his white porcelain tub in my hand, 1 approached his cage, he would resolve himself into the sulkiest, dreariest little ball of feathers you can possibly imagine. I coaxed and plead­ ed; 1 even bribed. Bathe he would not. So consistent was he in his determina­ tion not to bathe that I named him Tramp. One morning I broke the tub, and in its place I took a shallow blue and white dish of Japanese ware. Tramp eyed me for a moment with all his old hostility, and then as he caught sight of the pretty dish he flew down from his perch with chirps of Joy and darted into the water before I could take my hand from the cage. I bad found the way to his heart, and his morning bath now became a daily source of Joy to both of us. But ont fatal morning I broke the blue and white dish. In an apologetic manner 1 brought to Tramp once more the regu­ lation white, bath dish, hoping that his cleanly habits were by this time so In­ grained that he would overlook the prosaic appearance of his tub. Not so. An angry flutter of wings, a threaten­ ing little beak, a perfect tempest of shrill cheeps and twitterings and then sulky silence on the topmost perch. "So it went on till I secured another blue and white dish and then peace and harmony and morning baths again."--New York Commercial AdTer- tiser. _ Railroad Mbb'i Prayer. H old railroad man, having been converted, was asked to lead in prayer. The following was the response: "O Lord, now that 1 have flagged thee, lift up my feet from the rough road of life and plant them safely on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me use the safety lamp known as prudence, make all the couplings in the train with the strong link of thy love and let my hand lamp be the Bible, and, heavenly Father, keep all switches closed that lead off the sidings, especially those with a blind end. O Lord, if It be thy pleasure, have every semaphore block along the line show the white line of hope that 1 may make the run of life without stopping. And, Lord, give us the Ten Commandments for a sched­ ule, and when I have finished the run on schedule time and pulled Into the great dark station of death may thou, the - Superintendent of the universe, say, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant; come and sign the pay roll and receive your check for eternal happi­ ness.' "--Railroad Gazette. WHERE COLORS COME FROM 4Meft Hm • Bird Wkoic Plaauct win not "The man who devotes his life to the study of color in all it9 remarkable phases occasionally comes across some queer facts," recently said the senior partner of a well known firm of artists' color men. "The printing of a newspa­ per color supplement sets thousands of unsuspected toilers in motion. The nat­ ural earth of Sienna and Umbria, in It­ aly, produces the raw colors, and the same material fused the famlhar 'burnt sienna' and 'burnt umber.' 'Turkey red' comes from the Indian madder plant. 'Carmine' and the 'lakes' are squeezed cochineal. 'Sepia' is, of course, taken from the cuttlefish. 'Gamboge' is the yellow sap of a Siamese tree. 'Ultra­ marine' is, or should be, made from the priceless lapis lazuli, while 'prussian blue,' which was stumbled upon by ac­ cident, is the burnt product of horses' hoofs and impure potassium carbonate. India ink' is made in China, 'blue black' is the charcoal of the vine stalk and *bister' la made from ordinary wood ashes. "As you are probably aware, the dis­ tinguishing feature of India ink is its refusal to 'run' when subsequently cov­ ered with tinted washes. It is what the drapers call a 'fast' color, and for thi# reason is exclusively employed by enr gineers, draftsmen and others. 'Most persons imagine that all nat­ ural colors, such as those of birds' plumage, are 'fast.' This is erroneoua The well known African touraco (plan* tain eater) is a case in point. If this bird is caught in a shower of rain, the brilliant crimson found in his plumage will 'run,' leaving the erstwhile crim­ son feathers a species of dirty white, notwithstanding that his green feath­ ers will remain perfectly 'fast.' Inquiry into this curious 'running* trait reveals a marvelous provision of nature. A careful analysis of the crimson feath­ ers shows that the brilliant coloring is due to the presence of a largtf quantity of copper."--Fiber and Fabric. HARD TO PURCHASE. Tk« fecnllmr Red Ribbon Iff French Legion of Honor. The peculiar red ribbon which mem­ bers of the Legion of Honor of France are entitled to wear is to be had in New York at one establishment, which is naturally sought out by Americans honored with this decoration. But they never have the satisfaction of get­ ting the ribbon until the firm that has the exclusive sale of it has received official notice that the persons applying have the right to display it. "I know it," said one of the clerks the other day to a would be purchaser of the ribbon. "I know that you are a member of the legion and have a right to buy the ribbon, because I read your name in the paper and know who you are. But we have not received official notification of your appointment and you have not your diploma. So I could not sell you any of it. "We had to make this rule first be­ cause the French government required it of us when we received the agency, but we also realize the necessity of it All kinds of persons who have no right to this ribbon try to get hold of it. All of them pretend when they find that we sell It only to persons entitled to wear It either that they are members of the legion or that they are buying It on behalf of persons who do belong to the order. The ribbon Is not like any other, and we know that if any of this ribbon is bought in New York that it comes from us. For that reason we are particular to the extent of requiring documentary proof from every appli­ cant unless we have received official notification of his right to wear It"-- New York Sulk Notice.

He ar­ rives with 200 or 300 birds, which he drives about town for a week or two, selling them one by one. He Is armed with a long pole, with which he touch­ es up lazy or quarrelsome blinds. They gobble continuously, and he shouts above the din, "Gallous, gallapoula, gailopules!" ("Turkey cocks, little tur­ keys, little hen turkeys!") When one drove meets another face to face or at right angles, they pass through with­ out confusion, and no bird change* masters.--Scribner's Magazine. Moat Tactless of Mcs, "Clarence unintentionally offended the aspiring young poetess." "In what way?" ' "He sent her a gayly decorated waste- basket as a birthday present."---Phila­ delphia Becord. r- /, . If you want some "just as good" "I make it myself", Remedy, try an imita­ tion Rocky Mountain Tea. 'Twill make you sick and keep you sick. G. W. Besley. The wild waves were saying thing*, "There's a clew air tonisrht." he re- Brvlaes. For an ordinary bruise such as re­ sults from an ill directed hammer or from a door shutting on one's finger use a mild astringent of some sort, such as witch hazel or vinegar. Keep the bruise constantly wet until the pain ceases, using a bandage of old muslin for wrapping. If the pain Is very Intehse, laudanum may be added. After the pain has ceased and only dis­ coloration and swelling remain to tell the tale it is a good plan to apply a stimulating liniment. This induces an extra flow of fresh blood to the spot. In the case of a severe bruise the sup­ ply of blood to the injured part must be lessened by elevating it above the heart and applying cold water or even Ice. / Of course when the/ bruise, or contu s!on rather, Is of su<Ui_mojrfent house remedies should be indulged in only while waiting for a doctor, a truth that necessarily applies to all the various emergencies that arise. In cases of se­ vere burns physicians are often ham­ pered by the home remedies that, cover the burns and hide the real extent of the injury. If young ladies think sores,, pimples and red noses look well with a bridal veil and orange blossoms, it's all right. Yet Rocky Mountain Tea would drive them away. 85c. G. W. Besley. DON'T WAIT.
