This remedy is recommended by dealers who have sold it for many years and know its value. It has received thousands of testimonials from grateful people. It has been prescribed by phy sicians with the most satisfactory results. It has often saved life before medicine could have been sent for or a physician summoned. It only costs a quarter.

It is epecialy valuai.le in prei ence of danger such as springs from the presence of men intent upon nmr der. This was never better exemapli fied than when a gang of men set out to take the life of Mazzini. He got to hear of their project. All the precau tions he took was to get ready a store of very excellent cigars. The ruflians presently appeared at his address. "Conic in, gentlemen." he said and produced his cigars. To each man he handed one. Taken aback at their reception. they seemed abashed and confused. "I know that you came to kill me." he' said. "Why do you not proceed to your task" This was too much for even this bloodthirsty depu tation. They could Sot kill the-lnan whose cigars they were smoking 'and who invited them to carry out their task. Muttering some excuse for hav ing interrupted his studies, they shuf fled out of the room and troubled him no more. Each man has his own method 'with would be 'ssassins. With Napoleon it was the eye which counted. While he was visiting the Duke of Saxe-Co burg-Gotha one of the duke's retainers made up his mind to slay him. le had so frequently heard the great ran denounced as the curse of Europe that he felt Impelled to seize the chance to destroy him. He was a common sol dier at the time and had to do sentry duty in one of the corridors of the pal ace along which Napoleon passed. He put his finger to the trigger as the duke. accompanied by Napoleon, drew in sight. Ile aimed for Napoleon's heart. Napoleon saw him. He said nothing. but simply fixed his eagle eye upon the youth. The latter seemed spellbound. Ile let the musket fall with a crash to the floor of the stone corridor. Ile felt, he said, as if he must have swooned. - Napoleon took no further notice, said no word, pass ed upon his way as if nothing had hap pened. That one nashingsglance had saved his life. He knew its effect nd value.-St. James' Gazette. LANGUAGE EVOLUTION. Use of the Suffix "Less" In Verbs, Nouns and Adjectives. Many will remember that some years ago there went on a violent contro versy about the word tireless. The discovery bad been made that "less" was a suffix which could properly be appended only to nouns; hence the form must be discarded, and we must all take pains to say untiring. The duty of so doing was preached from scores of professional and newspaper pulpits. No one seemed to think or care for the various other adjectives similarly formed and therefore liable to the similar censure which they never received. Hostility was direct ed against it alone. The actual flaw which vitiated the arguments against tireless its censors never knew or took into consideration. This was that the fancied rule covering the creation of such words had practically long ceased to be operative whenever a new forma tion struck the sense of the users of language as being desirable. Unquestionably in our earliest speech the suffix "less" when employed to form adjectives was joined only with nouns. But the general sloughing off of nominal and verbal endings which went on in later centuries reduced a great proportion of substantives and verbs in the speech to precisely the same form. In consequence the sense of any fundamental distinction be-i tween the two broke down in many~ ways-in one way in particular. There: is nothing easier in our speech than to convert a verb into a noun or a noun into a verb. It is a process which has1 taken place constantly in the past andi is liable to take place at any time.in the futur'e, either at the will or the' whim - of the writer or speaker. Thomas R. Lounsbury in Harper's. A Horse story. Our Dumb Animals tells a remark able story about the intelligence of a Eare who saved her colt from death by stopping a train on a railroad in Texas. The colt had fallen with its legs through a railroad bridge, and the mother started down the track to meet the coming train. As the train came up she stood on the track whinnying. The train stopped, and then the mare trotted ahead of it as it moved slowly to the bridge. Here the colt was dis covered and extricated from its peril ous position. The story was vouched for by the engineer, railroad men and passengers in the train. He 'Was at Chuir'h. Saunders, the village slater, was a very poor attender at the church.

Next to the mayor the recorder is the most ancient public official in the city. His office dates back to the Dongon charter, given with the authority of King James II. to the city of New York in April, 1080. The governing body of the city were the mayor, the recorder and the aldermen. From the recorder sprang, in 1821, the old court of common pleas, which later became the supreme court. Orig inally the mayor and the recorder held all the court in New York, both civil and criminal, the aldermen sitting also to aid in disposing of petty cases. The recorder was a member of the board of aldermen. One of his important du ties was to pass on competency for citi zenship. The first recorder was James Gra ham, appointed by charter. His duties included taose of the present recorder and many more. Gradually as the court business increased the recorder ceased to act as an alderman, and in the subdivision of court work the criminal cases, which, as affecting the life and liberty of citizens, were then regarded as of the graver Importance, were retained by him, and the civil cases were transferred to newer courts. Thus the office of the recorder Is traditionally the primary safeguard over the principles of the old common law on which New York's modern criminal jurisprudence is founded. New York World.

An Incident of Life In New York. - The street beggar with pockets lined with money is a fairly familiar figure of city life, but one of the free dis pensaries reports an instance of an attempt to get free medicine on the plea of poverty that deserves a place in the catalogue of good stories of raft. A middle aged woman ap peared the other day and got a pre cription, after which she took her lace in the line of persons waiting to ae their medicine made up, by the pothecary. Th is particular woman, t should be said, had given satisfac ov~ answvers 10 all the (questions put o her desril to show whether she as a propersubject for charity. Sud enly there was a cry: "I'm robbed! I'm robbed!" The victim was this woman, who so far forgot her previous rofessions as to assert that her ocket had been picked and that the thief had got away with $90. Then she losZt the opportunity to get free medicine, thus adding, in her view, insult to injury.-New York Post. Acute Laryngitis. George Washington died of a disease that was then called a quinsy, but which is now known as acute laryngi tis. His physicians tregted him ac ording to their best light and knowl edge, but such treatment now would be little short of criminal. An eminent authority says that if medical men had known as much then as they do now the distinguished patient would proba bly have been cured In a week. As it was, he slowly strangled to death by the closing of his throat. At the pres ent time physicians treat a case of-thls kind by tracheotomy-that is, by mak ing an opening into the windpipe, through which the patient may breathe. They also diagnose a case by using the laryngoscope, which enables them to look into the throat and see exactly what the trouble Is. Hairs of Caterpillars. Several kinds of hairy caterpillars are known to have a poisonous effect on the human skin, notably the caterpil lar of the processionary moth, so called because the caterpillars march in pro cession after their food. The scientist Reaumur found that this caterpillar's hairs caused him considerable suff'ew ing in the hands for some days and that when he rubbed his eyes his eye lids, -too, were inflamed. Even ap proaching too near the nests of these caterpillars has caused painful swell ings on the necks of certain persons from the caterpillar hairs fioated by the winds. Are Pie Eaters Hypocrites? Why do people who eat pie in secret and in the open, people who when they order pie cast about them furtive glances and people who do not care who sees them engaged on pie one and all talk and behave as if the consump tion of pie constituted an unpardonable sin whenever the subject is broached? Why in polite circles composed of those whose ancestors were brought up on pie, even pie for breakfast, is pie hailed with mirthful tittering?-Providenlce Journal. Bie Gentle With Bitter People. How often we come across people iu life so disagreeable and bitter, reject ing all overtures of kindness we make toward them, that we feel quIte dis heartened. And yet if we only knew their life's history how much we should perhaps find to forgive and pity, so let us keep on with our good work until we have thawed the icicles of their hearts with the warmth of our Men l'ast Sixty in Danger. \ore than half of mankind over six t years of age suffer fronm kidney and bladder disorders. usually enlargement of prostrate gland. This is both pain ful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of danger, as it corrects irregularities and has cured many old men of this dis ease. Mr. Rlodney Burnett, RockPort. Mo. writes: "I sutlered with enlarged Iprostrate gland and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Folys Kidney Cure I feel better than 1 have for twenty years, although now 1 am 91 years old." Sold at The Arant The Under Side of Fish Experiments have been made with flounders In order to determine whether the whiteness of the under sides of those fish is due to the exclusion of light, and the prescuee of color on their upper sides to cexjosure to light. The fish experimented upon were kept liv ing in a glass tank, having a mairror placed beneath, so as to reflect light upon the under sides of the fish. One of these prisoners survived for three years under conditiuns so strangely-dif ferent from its ordinary habits of life, and all of them exhibited the develop ment of spots of pigment on their lower surfaces. The experimenters conclud ed that it is exp:>sure to light that causes the coloration of the upper parts of the bodies. not only of floun ders, but of other fish, and, conversely. that it Is to the comparative absence of light that the whiteness of under sides of fish is due. Tlhey extend the same principle to explain the colorless condition of the skins of many animals that pass all their lives in caves. Bird Songs. Naturalists have long been puzzled as to how birds learn to sing. Does it come natural to a bird of a certain species to sing the song common to its kind or'does it learn to imitate what ever song it most hears during the arly days of Its life? Experiments made by a well known student of bird life proved that most birds simply learn by imitation. He placed young linnets to be reared by skylarks, woodlarks, titlarks and other Ibreedls. and in every ase the linnet learned the song of his foster parents. Again, a number of lin ets were reared where they had no chance of lewrin-r the song of any bird at all. In <itav course they began to sing. but their song was entirely original. T!he cuckoo. however, seems to be an e:weptioon. for although it is almost inva:-ibiy r:-:nod by foster parents of :my ye:-i:s but its own, It always -:1: t. p-:rfesion its own peculiar son -. :unin'luenced by the von i - :,:3.: of ii:, ;u:irdians. John VWe1.y :%d E:enu Nash. In a book :aibout Dal.h is set forth a story alout . Wesey. Beau Nash ad told Wesley that his preaching in the street was not only contrary to law, but it "frightened people out of their its." "Sir," said Wesley, "did you ever bear me preach?" "No," said the master of ceremonies. "How then can you judge of what you never heard?" "By common report," said Nash stoutly. "Common report is not enough. Give me leave, sir, to ask, is not your name Nash?" "My name is Nash." "Sir," said Wesley, "I dare not judge of you by common report." Foods That make You Fat. Potatoes, peas, baked beans, fats, sweets-such as puddings, pies and :ake-ale, beer, sweet wines and even -ater, when taken with meals, all :onduce to obesity. But in lieu of the oregoing flesh producers one may sat sfy hunger with a moderate amount )f lean meats, poultry, fish; with fruits excepting figs, dates and bananas) and with vegetables, such as spinach, string >eans, eggplant, celery, beets, etc. I would recommend also that those verfat from a too rich and too gener yus diet abstain from much liquid at neals, but that they drink copiously of irater between meals to flush their sys :ems.

Many kinds of trees in that strange country turn their edges instead of the fiat sur face of the leaves to the sun, and thus. one may stand under a tree of enor nous size and be as fully exposed to the sun as though he were in the open plain. Travel through these forests is said to be exceedingly arduous work, as the trees, while they do not cut off the sun, prevent the breeze from reaching the ground, and thus the trav eler experiences a stifling heat. Use For Spoiled Beer. "There is no need," said a brewer, "for us to throw away beer that has turned sour, nor is there any need for us to try to doctor it up. We have a ready sale for our spoiled beer among cement makers. Don't think from this that cement makers have a morbid taste for sour beer. Nothing of the kind. They use this beer In making cement for leather joints. It takes the place of acid, being cheaper and yet just as good." Not an Impostpr. A proud young father telegraphed the nws of his new responsibility to his brother in this fashion: "A hand some boy has come to my house and claims to be your nephew. We are doing our best to give him a proper welcome." The brother, however, failed to see the point and replied: "I have not got a nephew. The young man Is an Impostor." Natural History.

The cast plate glass of which mirrors, shop windows and such things are made Is prepared from the whitest sand, broken plate glass soda, a small amount of nanganeso and 'cobalt oxides. The glas when perfectly melted is poured upon an iron table of the size required. and the thickness is regulated by a strip of iron placed down each of the four sides of the table. Immediately after it is poured out the molten substance is flattened down by an iron roller, which lowers the glass to the thickness of the strips at the sides. It Is then annealed or tempered for several days, after which it Is ground perfectly level and polished to transparent brilliancy. The first plate glass was made in 1SS at St. Picardy, France. where the process was found out by an accident, as so many other important methods * in manufacture have been discovered. where there were eyes to see the acci dents and minds to apply them or the lessons they taught to the advance of art or indn;try. The Irish Bull In Journalism. Of a we* known reporter of a past generation niany curiosities of style are still repeated with zest by Dublin journalists. It was this man who ex plained, describing a case of drown ing off Dalkey, "The body was washed ashore by a receding wave." Of a fu gitive from justice he wrote: "The burglar was surrounded on all sides by the police. Escape was impossible. Suddenly he made his way down a cul-(e-sae and disappeared through a side street." The most popular story of this Impressionist writer, however, relates t6 Mr. Gladstone. On the Grand Old Man's one and only visit to Dublin he was intervie wed by the ec centric press man. Mr. Gladstone. at the conclusion of a somewhat amusIng array of questions, very courteously expressed his pleasure at meeting the interviewer. The latter, in a high state of delight, said with enthusiasm, "The pleasure is mutual, Mr. Gladstone, but is all on my side."-London Tribune. The Oldest Sense of Humor. The oldest Idea of humor is surprise This the child exhibits (for that which is oldest we shall find in the youngest) when It hides and cries "Boo!" both surprising and frightening its senior, be this senior father, mother, brother, sis ter or friend. One may find this primal sense of humor distributed through the modern short story. Frequently the turn in the plot, if not In Its develop ment, hinges upon this child humor of surprise. Even some grownup folk will pull a chair from undet one, thus showing themselves still children in their sense of fun. The verbal conceit found In much of the verse in. the pages of modern comic papers is of this same class of humor and furnishes conclusive evidence that a number of men and women are at child's play in literature. Poems which end contrary to their foreshadowings are of this sort -New York Herald. Prof. Tyler, of Amherst college, said recently: "A man can live comfortably without brains; no man ever existed without a digestive system: The dys peptic has neither faith, hope or char ity." Day by day people realize the im portance of caring for their digestion; realize the need of the use of a little corrective after overeating. A correc tive like Kodol For Dyspepsia.

In certain parts of India in families where there are several daughters the youngest sisters may only marry after the elder sister Is married. Of course it frequently happens that no suitor appears for the elder, in which case she is got out of the way by a very neat expedient. She Is wedded to a tree or a large flower, and then the ounger sister may marry. The elder hister must be ~careful, however, to choose a plum, apple or apricot tree, from which she can get a divorce, for f she married an elm, pine or poplar these are sacred trees and must not .be trifled with. His Wig In His Pocket. Benjamin Franklin once wore his wig in his pocket at the court of Ver sailles. When he was about to present himself at the court for the first time he was informed that a wig was essen tial. Franklin's head was so large that no ordinary wig would begin to fit it. However, one was found suflently lrge to pass him through the ante chambers, after which he was permit ted to remove the ridiculous conven tional appendage and place It In his ample pocket. Hard to Please. Mr. Snaggs was ac'costed on the street the other day by a beggar who was covered with a very remarkable mass of patched and ragged garments and who said: "Mister, haven't you some old clothes you could give a fellow?" ~ Snaggs surveyed the beggar from head to foot and then asked: "Are not the clothes you have on old enough for you?" Discriminating. A thoughtful hostess gave a chil dren's party and decided it would be healthier to serve only mineral waters. One lIttle girl tasted of her carbonic and laid the glass down. "What's the matter, dear? Don't you like charged water?" "No, ma'am. Please may I have some water that you've paid for?" Life. A Scientific Wonder.

Are Ministers' Sons Badr A bishop marked the names of those whom he deemed worthy of remem brance for some service performed in religion or politics or literature or sci ence or art or commerce or philan thropy or warefare, or some other as pects of the various life of' the nation. Of such names he found 1,270 who were the children of clergymen or mm isters, taking no account of those who were grandchildren of clergymen oz more remote descendants. Of the chil dren of lawyers, there were 510, and of doctors 330. The sons of clergymen who became themselves clergymen were 350. He further asserts that the superiority which the clergy enjoy it respect to their children to the other professions lies beyond dispute. The superiority has been not of numbers only, but of degree. From clerIoa: homes have sprung more distinguished sons than from the homes of any secu la. nproesn--Tslie's Weekly. The Zite of a Giri. The bite of a girl may be as produc- e tive of poisonous germs as lnimproperly : prepared foods, according to the state ments of Professor W. 1). Miller of the University of Berlin. In a lecture the professor said that a bite of a pretty girl would often bring a quicker and more horrible death than the bite of a serpent. Professor Miller, who has made a specal study of the bacteria of the mouth, said that only a short time ago he experimented on a beautiful girl in Germafiy and found that an arrow dipped in saliva from her mouth would send its victim in death throes more terrible than one dipped in the venom of the most deadly snake.-What to Eat. Twins Born In Different Years. "I have often been present at the birth of .twins," said an old nurse. "Only once was I present, though,when the twins were born in diffdrent years." "Twins born in different years? You are crazy," said the young bride. "Not a bit of It," said the old nurse. "The thing happened in Pittsburg In 1890. The first twin was born at 11:30 o'clock on the night of Dec. 31, 1899, and the second was born at 1 o'clock in the morning of Jan. 1, 1900.

Two Silesians, seated in a music hall, began to argue about the music of Wagner. The argument as it pro- a gressed grew heated. The upshot was that the younger challenged the older a Silesian to a duel. Blit the older Silesian declined to fight. "No, no," he said. "I refuse to meet : ou. The risks are not equal. You, * )u see, are a bachelor, whereas I am a married man with three children. I'll tell you what to do. Go get mar ried agd wait till you've a family as large as mine.

Three years passed and one day three years later he went accompanied by a nursemaid, to his opponent's home. "Here I am," he said fiercely. "My wife is at home. In this coach are my Z three children. Now for the duel." 0 But the older man shook his head. "Not yet awhile," he said. "I have five now.' "Make Hay Whie the Sun Shines--" There is a lesson in the work of the thrifty farmer.

The average city business man with- 3 out physical impediments to fight $ against can probably get along success fully on such an exercisa schedule as the following: First.-Five minutes each day of purely muscular exercise, such as can be taken perfectly~well In one's room without any special apparatus. Second.-Short intervals during the N day of fresh air, brisk walking, deep - breathing. This can all be secured In the regular order of the day's business. A. man can easily spend as much as - half an hour walking- out of doors every day. This is for heart, lungs and digestion. Third.-The reservation of at leastI one day a week for rest and recreation, for being out of doors, for playing games, etc. This is essential. This is for both body and mind.
