Returning home he found the lost set and, putting it in his mouth for safe keeping, hurried to the jeweler's to have that set used in stead of the new opal. Rushing into the store he said: "Say, I've found the old set, so don't use that new one." He attempted to remove the stone from his mouth, gave a gnlp, looked sheepish, and said: "I guess you'll have to use the new stone." The man needed a bottle of Dr. Cald well 's Syrup Pepsin.

Tola hr UH. "Wbdtfer or not we believe la phfe> tiology, physiognomy and kindred sci ences, were are some peculiarities of feature that are quite often indicative of certain traits of character," said an observant man. "From no one feature of the face can the disposition be more accurately read than from the lips and especially the upper lip. Tlie lower One Is less prophetic. "A person with a short, sharply curved upper lip is nearly always of a happy, lovable disposition. One witb a short but straight upper Hp is apt to be of a low order of intellect and coarse in his tastes. The person with a long, straight upper lip is the one to beware of. He bos a will like adamant, is not always thoroughly trustworthy. Is apt to be quarrelsome and jealous and is more often than not an unmitigated politician. If he is gifted with a strong intellect he will make his mark In one way or another; If he is not he may become a harmless person, a parasite or a scoundrel. The man whose^opper lip protrudes Is apt to be a shrewd business man. "The person whose mouth has a de cided droop at the corners may be a hu morist a hypochondriac or a poet The possessor of a mouth curved In the style of Cupid's bow Is indeed happy, for in nine cases out of ten he also possesses a refined, aesthetic and yet practical nature, susceptible to every beautiful and ennobling Influence."-- Chicago Record. Old Faahloaed Cancer Care. Take the common sheep sorrel which grows in your yard and which children eat because of Its sourness, mash it up Into a pulp in some vessel that will save all the juice that would otherwise be lost, then put It Into a bag and squeeze out all the juice on to a pew ter plate to get some of the acid from the metal, then put this out in the sun and let it dry until about as thick as tar, then put in tight bottle. If the skin is not broken, put a drop of chlo ride of potash or lye on It to break the skin and then apply the sorrel on the cancer, Just covering It with a thin coat If the sorrel gets too thick, a little water will make it so that It can be handled. The pain will be severe, but it Is oth erwise harmless. It will stop hurting in a few hours. Keep up these appli cations, one every day, until the cancer can be lifted out without pain. It took four days in my case. The sorrel will cook the cancer, but It does not eat It as it does the flesh, hence it eats all the flesh away and lets the cancer loose. When you see the cancer, put the sorrel on It and not on the flesh. When the cancer is out, heal the sore with any kind of healing ointment--J. A. Wayland in Appeal to Reason. Conceit causes more conversion than wit--La Rochefoucauld. •nj Their Lepers Alive. The Chinese have a curiously cheer> ful way of disposing of their lepers. The relatives of the afflicted person propose to him that they bury him alive, and, such is the fatalism of the Chinese, that the victim readily con sents. An extra elaborate meal Is served to him in the way of a farewell banquet and then the funeral proces sion forms. The man who is about to be Immured under the sod follows bis own coffin, and when he reaches the grave he takes a dose of laudanum, bops Into the box and settles down for eternity. Dr. Wittenberg, writing on the sub ject of leprosy In China, states that the pure nerve form Is the least common. In such cases, as is well known, the pa tients may go on for years. As to the mixed form. It is fairly common, but It Is a difficult matter to estimate the number of lepero in any given district The sufferers lead the common life so long as they remain free from destruc tive lesions. When these occur to any marked degree, the leper Is either seg regated in a but or be Is allowed to wander about the country, sustaining life by begging. Dr. Wittenberg re- qords cases of direct contagion from motber-ln-law to daughter-ln-law.
