Ever since the world began men have been trying to get rich. Any healthy man should be able to get moue}'. Any healthy man will get money. It is a simple matter. A matter of healthy brain tissue, healthy muscle tissue. Failure is impossible to the man * whose every brain cell, nerve und smuscle tingles with the inspiration, the energy, the audacity and the grit of health, and whose every ar ten' bounds with rich, pure, invig orating blood. You have to go to the bottom of tilings in this world if you wish to accomplish much. It does not pay to merely skim over the surface. This is true of disease as well as of |6 everything else. It is the popular belief that headache and sleepless ness are due to some trouble con fined to the brain. Nothing could be further from the truth. These troubles are merely signals that the digestive organs are disordered and the blood impure. It does no permanent good to treat them with sedatives. In order to pro duce a cure, a medicine must be used that goes to the bottom of things, that Corrects the " first cause " of the trouble. Doctor .Pierce's Golden Medical -Discovery does exactly .this. It is the great of all known blood - makers and purifiers. It is the best flesh builder. ? It fills the arteries with rich, red, tissue building blood, invigorates the nerves, stimulates digestion, brings back the healthy appetite, and restores "Nature's soft nurse,"?sleep. Thousands have testified to its value. "I was a sufferer for six years from indi jestion, sore stomach, and constant head iche," writes B. F. Holmes, P. 0. Box 173, Saffney, S. C. "I tried several of our best physicians and found no permanent relief, t commenced the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and ' Pleasant Pellets '? which gave me prompt relief. When I :ommeuced using the medicines I could not s?eep, had a restless, uneasy feeling all [he time, and my skin was yellow and dry. I weighed only 148 pounds. I now weigh 170 pounds. Have a good color, rest well it night, have a good appetite, and can eat ilmost anything I wish. For two years I ite nothing but graham bread." "I write to inform you that I am now enjoying magnificent health, after having suffered for years with chronic catarrh," writes Ramon Sanchez, Esq., of Pe?asco, Paos Co?, New Mexico. "Byconstant use of your ' Golden Medical Discovery ' I have recovered my health, and am now both physically and mentally a sound man, at tending to my business and enjoying life. I take great pleasure in cordially recom mending your treatment to those who are Buffering with the same insidious and loathsome disease." "I had been suffering for about eleven years with a pain in the back of my head which extended down my back," writes Mr. Robert Hubbard, of Varner, Lincoln Co., Ark. The pain was as though some one was holding a hot iron at the back of my head ; I had such a fever. I suffered that way for eleven years and spent a great deal of money with different doctors and for medicine, but did not get any relief. One day a friend came to me in the field (where I was trying to work) and told me that lie had heard of Dr. Pierce, and he thought he could cure me. 1 tried four bot tles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and felt better. Then I sent for five more, and now I am glad to tell every one that by trusting'in God and the help of the World's Dispensary Medical Association, I am in good health." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser is a book of i.coS pages and over three hundred illustrations, some of them colored, all fully explained. This book is free. It has been selling for $1.50. Now you may have it in all its usefulness and in strong paper covers, for 21 one-cent stamps, whicn pays the cost of mailing only, or in cloth binding for 31 stamps. It is veritable medical library all con tained in a single volume. Address, World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, . Y. ; Curious Creation Myth. The various nations of the earth have their diffennt legends or myths concerning the creation. That of the Scandinavian countries is particularly interesting. According to the myth, Odin, Vili and Vo, sons of the giant and giant ess Bor and Beltsa, killed Ymir, and from his body formed the heavens and the earth. Of his blood they made the seas and impassable oceans which surround the earth; of his bones they made the mountains, us ing his teeth and the splinters to make the stones and pebbles. From his inverted skull they formed the heavens, and of his brains, they formed the clouds. His hair became plants and trees when given a chance to take root in the new, warm soil, and of his eyebrows they made a wall of defense around Midgard (Eden), which was the central place of abode of men. When these mir acles had all been performed to suit Odin, who was the chief god, the three brothers took the sparks of fire which rained down from the burning world Musphelheim, and, throwing them over the face of heav en, made the sun, the moon and the stars.?St. Louis Republic. Consuming and Unconsumed. A burning coal mine exists in Pic ton county, Canada. The commis sioners appointed by the local gov ernment to report on the history, causes and effects of the coal mine fires of the above district reported that the Foord coal pit has been on fire at one place or another ever since 1859, and that it was still burn ing and likely to burn.

I THE LANGUAGE OF CHRIST. Argument* T>nillng to Show That It Wae Syrlao tir , ?, Mrs. Agnes Smi.Lewis, the ori ental scholar who not long ago dis covered an ancient fjyriac text of the four gospels in monastery nt Mount Binai and trarisl/.t; l? ir, con tributes an arricio to TV* Century in which she discusses the ques tion, "What Lnngu-gc Did Christ Speak?" While many scholars be lieve he spoke Greek, because H:reo of tho four gospels are suppo e 1 to have been written in tini lanari others believe ho spirito u {$>milic tonguo, probably Aramaic, which was at that time the veruacul ;:? of Palestine, and with this belici' Lewis sympathizes. In the course of this discussion Mrs. Lewis brings out many points of interest, fy'riac, or Christian Ar amaic, was the first language into which tho New Testament was translated, Aramaic nut being a cor rupt form of Hebrew, as many . pose, but a distinct language. Ag.:in, Hebrew had ceased to be the lan guage of the common people bef?ri Christ's advent. The rabbis spoke to the common people i:i Aramaic, all the documents pertaining to l.iw and business were written in that langnage, and even some of the prayers of tho synagogue were translated into it. Tho weight of evidence favors the theory that Paul used tho language in writing to the Romans, or at least thought in it, and that the most interesting of our Lord's discourses were deliv ered in it. One of the most impor tant of Mrs. Lewis' arguments is contained in the following illustra tion of her subject: "We have, first of all, tho various Aramaic phrases actually embodied in the Greek text as having been ut tered by our Lord, such as ephpha tha (he opened), talitha, cumi (maid en, arise), where tho word cumi might be Hebrew or Syriac or Ara bic. And tho last despairing cry of ar Lord on the cross, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabaeLlhani ?" is not translated in the Sinaitic palimpsest, for the good reason that it is a natural part of the Syriac text. "Take next the names of persons and places in the New Testament. The Syriac word'for Bon is bar, and so we have Bartholomew, Barabbas, Bar Jesus, Bar-Jona, Barnabas, Bar Tim us. Had Hebrew been the spoken tongue these names would have run Bentholomew, Ben-Jesus, etc. We have also cepha (a stone, feminine gender), Boanerges?that is, Beni-rogaz (sons of thunder), Sapphira (tho beautiful), Thoma (the twin), Martha (the mistress), Tabitha (tho gazelle), Bethsaida (house of fishing),Nazareth (watch), Gethsemane (an oil press), Gol gotha (place of a skull), Aceldama (the field of blood). It may as well be explained that the final syllable of most of these names, a, is a dis tinctive Syriac termination. The words Mammon (Matthew vi, 24) and raca (Matthew v, 22) and abba are Syriac also." Mrs. Lewis cites many other con vincing indications that Christ spoke in Syriac or Aramaic, tho most of which are too technical for use in this connection. She has poured a flood of light upon a most abstruse subject with the aid of her recent important discoveries ? abstruse, first, for tho mysterious reason, which probably no one will ever ex plain, that Christ did not set down a single line in writing of his doc trines or teachings, and, second, be cause no one took down those teach ings, they having been written in their present form from memory years after his ascension. The dis cussion of this question will engago the attention of scholars, and many interesting contributions to the lit erature of the subject may be ex pected, especially from the new point of view introduced by Mrs. Lewis. ?

"All 'right," replied Doolits; "you might say to him also that I need a new suit myself." ? A St. Louis man who died re cently left a will in which there was a bequest of $1,000 to a young woman "on the score of gratitude, because she declined to marry me, and thereby enabled me to spend my last years happier." ? 'Haveyou a parrot that swears?" asked a woman as she entered the bird store. "I suppose I conld get one," replied the dealer ; but I never had such a call before." "You see, my husband went out west a month ago and I'm sort o' lonesome." ? One secret of the Chicago pack ers' great fortunes is that they don't waste anything. The meat, the en trails, everything is made use of but the squeal. They can't catch that, so it is wasted. The blood is stamped into buttons. ? The best thing to give your enemy is forgiveness ; to an opponent, toler ance; to a friend, your heart ; to your ehild, a good example ; to your father, deference ; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you ; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity. ? Adam's apple, if it vas once that fruit that brought into the world all our woe, is now a useful organ. It serves as a sort of storage cistern of the blood for the supply of the brain. When the heart sends up too much blood Adam's apple intercepts it, or part of it; and when the direct supply from the heart temporarily runs short, Adam's apple gives up its store. ? "And you promised me," she sobbed intensely, "that when we were once married you would be as steady as a clock." "Well, hully gee," was his impassioned answer, "ain't I?

A Sparrow's l?de in a Fly-Wheeli Birds have all sorts of queer adven tures, but perhaps what was the oddest one of recent days is that which befell a sparrow at Anderson, Indiana. It flew into a knife and bar manufactory, and, getting too near a small wheel, was sucked in. The workmen noticed it go into the wheel, but, knowing that the cylinder was revolving at a speed of ISO revoluti 'S a minute, took it for granted tha the bird had been killed. When tho factory shut down at noon the men were astonished to hear a gentle chirp from the wheel, and lo ! there was the sparrow, as well as ever. They found that the bird had clung to the strengthening rod of the wheel and was in a semi-dazed condition. They picked him up and put him on a table, and thence, after collecting his wits, the little bird flew to freedom. The wheel in which the bird rode made 80,000 revolutions while it was upon it, and so the tiny feathered creature traveled 73 8-10 miles in the embrace of a fly-wheel. ? Mason W.

C, Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months' constant treatment _ here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the gland. At this critical mo ment a friend recommended S.S.S., and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, I be gan its use. Before I had used one bot tle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though lam not through with my second bottle yet. Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago, I would have escaped years of misery and saved over $150." This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.

"Edison thinks," says the New York Tribune, "that there will soon be a horse less carriage on tho market, combining the lightness and trlmness of tho bicycle and costing not more than $100. There are no insurmountable difficulties in the way. The thing is feasible enough, and an army of inventors aro at work upon it. When it comes the bicycler will have the choice of working his own passage or hf.ving it worked for him. The vehicle is certainly on the way, in various type and function, and Mr. Edison's declaration that it will speedily arrive is the more significant from the fact tbat be ought to know what he is talking about." A horseless carriage costing not more than $100 means much more than appears at the first suggestion. It will revolution ize travel, roads and customs in this country and in all countries. It will re quire no horse, and no driver. It will net run away. It will run without wea riness. It will be subject to all the service of a horse carriage and more. It will make good roads a prime neoesslty and will convert the country into a suburb and make tho farmer contented with the farm. It is a revolutionary machine and a millennial. Speed its coming. in W?Z>H(fl g m ST g ..?-HmGTON ?.C. FOR SALE BY BROCK BROS., ANDERSON, S. C. ' Pianos If you pay an exorbitant price, 3 \ part of your money is wasted \ \ however good the piano you buy. j \ You may pay just as much \ ? ? or Laif or quarteras much, for a bad piano, but in that case you waste all of your money. To get a good piano you must pay at least a fair price, and that's all you have got to pay for an Ivers & Pond?Nothing M extra for mere reputation? No waste of any part of the price. You get the first-class piano; you get the reputation ; but you pay only for the piano. That is the Ivers & Pond plan ; that is the way they build up and hold business ; by giving full value and something over. ^ It's like getting eggs thirteen to the dozen and sugar seventeen ounces to the pound. We have other pianos too. We keep what the people want and tell it to them straight. C. A. REED, ANDEBSON, S. C. Dis. Strickland & King, DE EXISTS.
