I Water by Walking Than Running In a Downpour. Do you know," said the observant citizen, the habit of running through the rain is based on a definite fallacy? It is a common habit. Blit does it tend to minimize the amount of water falling on a person exposed to the rain? I am convinced that it rather aggravates the situation. By experience, in passing the distance of a block, running one time and walking the other, and at times when the rainfall was about the same, 1 found that iny clothes picked up more water and consequently damper when I covered the distance in a run than they were when I walked. There seems to be a good reason for the rather curious fact. Rain falls Sometimes there is a Irregularly. space of five or six inches between the falling drops, as we have noticed on smooth surfaces, like a stone flagging, and 8galn only the fraction of an inch will separate the drops. Water occasionally falls in sheets, but this is not usual. But while the fall Is irregular, considered with respect to the perpendicular lines described in the descent, looking straight ahead and through the lines we will find before us a sheet of water that is solid. We can understand that running against this sheet of water will have very much .the same effect wind would have If Its direction forced the rain into our faces. We simply pick up the water and the fact that the spaces between the drops, perpendicularly considered, are greater than the spaces in any given direction horizontally will explain to us the fallacy of the whole thing. e - well-nig- h Im Growing Old. My days pe.ss pleasnntly away; My nlglua are blessed with sweetest sleep: I feel no symptoms of decay; I have no cause to mourn or weep. My foes are Impotent and shy; My friends are neither false nor cold, And of late, I often sigh I'm growing old! Sly growing talk of olden times. My growing thirst for early news, My growing apathy for rhymes. My growing love for easy shoes. My growing hate of crowds and noise, My growing fear of taking cold, All whisper. In the plainest voice, I'm growing old! . I'm growing fonder of my staff; I'm growing dimmer In the eyes; I'm growing fainter la my laugh; I'm growing deeper In my sighs; I'm growing careless of my dress; I'm growing frugal of my gold; I'm growing wise; I'm growing yes. I'm growing old! I see It In my chancing taste; I see It in my changing hair; I seeseeIt InInmy growing waist; I It my growing heir. A thousand signs proclaim the truth. ns As plain truth wa ever told. even in my van .ted youth, That, i t, old! gi'OT-sD- Ah. me! My very laurels breathe The tale in my reluctant ears, And every boon the hours bequeath But makes me debtor to the years. E'en Flattery's honeyed words declare The secret she would fain withhold, And tells me "How young you are! I'm growing old! Thanks for the years whose rapid flight My somber muse too gladly sings; Thanks for the gleam of golden light That tints the darkr ess of their wings The light that beams from out the sky, Those heavenly mansions to unfold. Where all are blest and none may sigh, "I'm growing old! John Godfrey Saxe. Queer Street Nomenclature. In Clerkenwell, England, there is a street called Pickled Egg Walk. It takes its name from Pickled Egg tavern, which formerly stood there and made a specialty of serving pickled eggs.

Yesterday a motor man passed by a Grand Army veteran wlio had signaled at the corner, then, thinking better of it.' stopped about the middle of the block. The warrior hobbled along like a man with locomotor ataxia, and when lie reached the platform was panting, red and fierce. Things in the neighborhood began to hum like another Antletsm. but before an explosion occurred the conductor, jerking the bell strap, remarked cheerfully: The motorman thought you looked so young and spry that he. didn't suppose That you wanted him to stop, sir. simple expression, with its little flab tery, was as oil on tronbled waters.

Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Ky., living on East Main street, in that city, says: With my nightly rest broken, owing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering intensely from severe pains in the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition, and for the reason tnat nothing seemed to give me even temporary relief I became about discouraged. One day I noticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doans Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sincere that on the strength of his statement I went to the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.b store and got a box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful a kidney remedy as represented. I experienced quick and lasting relief Doans Kidney Pills will prove a blessing to all sufferers from kidney dlsor-derwho will give them a fair trial.
