Nature has provided the stomach with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices, anp it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to produce the rich, red blood that flows through the viens of our body and thereby makes us strong, healthy and robust and it is the weakening of these diges tive juices that destroyes health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health, and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order. When vau need to take something take it promptly, but take something you know is reliable-something like Kodol For Dyspepsia and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant to take, it is reliable and is guaranteed to give relief. It is sold by WV. E. Brown & Co. The Message on His Watch. Iii "Memories of Eight Parliaments" Mr. Lucy, the author, tells a story about Mr. Pyne, member for West Wa terford, who, when under the crimes act a warrant was issued for his arrest in 1SS7. shut himself up in his Irish home, Lisfarney castle, had the trench es filled with water, the drawbridge up, took in supplies by a window in the battlements and thus lived for months, while he poked fun at the po licemen who were wandering about below with the warrant in their pock ets. "The originality of Mr. Pyne's mind," continues Mr. Lucy, "was further indi cated upon his watch. On its dial he had roughly engraved 'Pay no rent.' Whenever in troubled times any of his neighbors came to him for advice as to what they should do in the presence of a demand for rent, Mr. Pyne solemnly shook his head. 'I cannot.' he said, 'express my views on the subject, for Mr. Balfour says they are illegal. But I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll show you what time of day It is,' and, holding out his watch, the perturbed tenant read upon it the admonitory legend, 'Pay no rent " 1Laws Against Beggars. Begging was a capital offense in England in the days of Henry VIII., when the laws were very severe against beggars, and under a statute passed in that reign any one caught begging for the first time, being nei ther aged nor infirm, was whipped at the cart's tall. If caught a second time his ear was slit or bored through with a hot iron. If caught a third time ! he suffered death as a felon unless some honest person' having ?10 in goods or 40 shillings in land or some householder approved by the justices would take the offender into his serv ice for two years, entering into a bond of ?10. So the law of England remain ed for sixty years. First enacted by Henry VIII., it continued unrepealed through the reigns of Edward and Mary. Reconsidered under Elizabeth, the same law was again formally pass ed, the two legislative houses thereby expressing their conviction that it was better for a man not to live at all than to live the life of a beggar. Tainted Diamonds. The lapidary was about to cut the tall off a tadpole shaped yellow dia mond. "The chances are," he said, "that this fellow will turn white from terror when I split him. If he does his value will go up 200 per cent" The lapidary set his steel knife in position. He prepared to strikeon thet knife's back the momentous blow. "Wish me luck," he said. And the hammer fell, the amputated tail dropped into the box underneath, and, Io, the yellow diamond that had been split was now quite white. "The yellow taint," the cutter ex plained, "was only in the tall. Yet the taint was reflected all through the stone, and this made it seem of a uni form yellow throughout Now the taint is gone, and our yellow diamond Is a pure white one. "The miracle happens. fairly often." -Philadelphia Bulletin. Epigrams of an Indian. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces was a truly remarkable Indian. He rarely spoke, but when he did his. lips drop ped wisdom. Here are a few of the! sayings attributed to him: "Look twice at a two faced man." "Cursed be the hand that scalps the reputation of the dead." "The eye tells what the tongue would "ide water courage ends in trem bling fear." "Big name often stands on small legs." . . "Finest fur may cover toughest meat" "When you get the last word with an echo you may do so with a squaw." Fish, Chicken and Veal. Raw pullet, raw veal and raw fish make the graveyard fat This Is hun dreds of years old. A New York ca terer (perhaps the most emicient in the city) said to me: "There are three im portanut articles of food that must un der no circumstances be served under done. They are fish, chicken and veal. By chicken I mean all poultry of a do mestic nature. All game birds should .be rare. You want to be a little care-, ful about lamb too. Give it plenty of cooking."-New York Press. Buttermilk. "'Which Is the cow that gives the buttermilk'?" innocently asked the young lady from the city, who was in specting the herd with a critical eye. "Don't make yourself ridiculous," said the young lady who had been in the country before and knew a thing or two. "Goats give buttermilk." Springfield Journal. Few and Far Between. "If men really would 'vote as they pray," remarked Goodley, "this would truly be a happy world." "Yes." replied Wise.

Revenge a wrong by forgiving it French Proverb. Stomach troubles are very common iu the summer time and you should not only be very careful about what you eat just now, but more thau this, you should be careful not to allow your stomach to become disordered, and when the stomach goes .wrong take Kodol. This is the best known prepa ration that is offered to the people to-. day for dyspepsia or indigestion or anyi stomach trouble. Kodol digests all foods. It is pleasant to take. It is sold Thinks it Saved His Life. Lester M. Nelson of Naples, Maine. says in a recent letter: "1 have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years. for coughs and colds, and 1 think it saved my life. I have found it a relia ble remedy for throat and lung com plaints and would no more be without a bottle than I would be without food.

Henri was paying his first visit to London and was already wishing him self home in gay Paree, for he knew not a word of English. He had been very unfortunate and had lost all his luggage, a toothbrush. So he deter mined to buy another. But how was he to make his needs understood? At last his luck turned, however, and he espied a chemist's shop with a notice outside. "Ici on Parle Francais." In he went and told the assistant in French what he wanted. But that as sistant knew no language except Eng lish, and another who came to help him was just as far at sea. But the proprietor was an intelligent man, and he knew at once from the cut of the customer's clothes that he was speaking French. "Leave him to me," he said, with a superior smile. Then, forming a megaphone with his hands, he shouted in the Frenchman's ear: "Our assistant who speaks French is out at lunch. You'll have to wait!" London Scraps. Swordsmen of the Sea. The swordsmen of the sea are the sawfisher, spearfishes, sailfishes, sword fishes and the narwhal, with its spiral ly twisted straight tusks. The saw fishes inhabit the warmer seas, while the narwhal is a creature of the arctic. The tusk of the narwhal is hollow nearly to the point and is spirally grooved. It uses its tusk as a weapon of defense and to plunge through the ice to breathe, the narwhal being a cetacean. Sometimes when a boat has been caught in the ice great damage has been inflicted by the inquisitive ness or blundering of this great crea ture, that sometimes reaches a length of fifteen feet, with a tusk of from six to ten feet in length. As a rule, how ever, the narwhal uses its tusk for the purpose of killing fish for food. In the castle of Rosenberg the kings of Den mark have long possessed a magnifi cent throne made of tusks of this Cetacean. These tusks are harder and whiter than ivory. Beavers Train Their Young. Naturalists have placed the beaver a long way down in the list of verte brates, but it undoubtedly stands next to man in the variety of occupations in which it engages. All cats are hunt ers, while foxes that are not thieves may be included also among the Nim rods. All canaries are prima donnas, and monkeys make clever comedians, but it is only the beaver parent that educates its children to take up several trades. In a single colony among them you will find civil and marine engi neers, woodchoppers, raftsmen, labor ers. quarrymen2, miners, plasterers, masons, carpenters hodcarriers and fishermen. All be ,ars take contracts for building dams, but when the work is undertaken the task is so divided that each member of the colony has its own particular work to look after. In this p-ay they make some wonderful excavations and construct their dams in at fncredibly short time. Marry and Part For a Year. Among the many peculiar customs prevalent among the people of Central America is that of parting for one year after the marriage ceremony has been solemnized. This custom has prevailed among the farnos from time immemo rial. There is no courtship allowed to be carried on between the parties prior to the wedding. When a man selects a woman he obtains the consent of the parents on both sides, and if this Is given they are at once married. The reason, however, for their not living together as man and wife for one year after marriage is in order to permit 01 the parties visiting and staying with their respective friends in different parts of the country, which is a cus tomary thing and occupies the time specifed. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of these marriages turn out well. . A Chance to Spoon. A young -~couple from the suburbs went to Dublin the other day to see the pantomime. Being early, they vis ited a tea room and had the place all to themselves. .The attending waitress had omitted in serving them to supply the necessary implement to effectually assist in the proper and palatable ad mixture of the tea, cream and sugar. "Can we have a spoon?" inquired the swain. "Cerainly," replied the observant at tendant. "1 am just tidying up, and you can have the whole room to your selves in a minute or two."-Liverpool Mercury. .Holding His Job. "I think the man who works at that place across the street is the most faithful and conscientious workmanI ever saw.

When the first suspension bridge was thrown over Niagara there was a great and tumultuous opening ceremony. 1 such as the Americans love, and many of the great ones of the United States assembled to do honor to the occasion. and among them was Roscoe Conkling. Conkling was one of the most brilliant public men whom America has pro duced-a man of commanding. even beautiful, presence and of perhaps un paralleled vanity. He had been called (by an opponent) a human peacock. After the ceremonies attending the opening of the bridge had been con cluded Conkling. with. many others. was at the railway station waiting to depart; but, though others were there. he did not mingle with them, but strut ted and plumed himself for their ben efit, posing that they might get the full effect of all his majesty. One of the station porters was so impressed that, stepping up to another who was hurrying by trundling a load of luggage, he jerked his thumb in Conkling's direction and-1 "Who's fbat feller?" he asked. "Is he the man as built the bridge?" The other studied the great man a moment. "Thunder! No," said he. "He's the man as made the falls."-H. Perry Robinson in Putnam's Magazine. Had a Treat For His Wife. Dr. George Harvey. a local veter inary physician, was called to a stable not long ago to minister to a horse that was down with colic. It was a serious case, and the doctor saw that the only way to save the horse would be to insert a tube in its side and allow the gas on its stomach to escape. Just because he thought it would star tle the owner of his horse Harvey struck a match and lighted the gas at the end of the tube. The man didn't say much at the time, but he was prop erly impressed. He had never heard of using a horse for an illuminating plant The next day when Dr. Har vey came around to see how the horse was getting along-it was all over the colic then-the owner tapped h2im on the shoulder. "My wife was away yesterday," he said, "but she's home now. Just light up the horse again. will you? I want her to see it."-Cleveland Plain Dealer. Chinese Sun and Moon. In China the sun and moon are brother and sister. The moon is the elder brother, who looks after his rath er silly sister, the sun. This is exactly the reverse of our legends, which make the sun the day king and the gentle moon lady of the night. One day in China, so the legend runs, the sun asked the moon if she couldn't go out at night. The moon answered very sternly: "No. You are a young lady, and it would be improper for you to go out after dark." Then the sun said. "But the people keep looking at me when I go out in the daytime." So the moon 'told her to take the golden needles that she wore In her hair and stick them into the eyes of people when they stared at her. This is the reason why no one can look at the sun without pain. -Sothern and Laura Keene. While in New York and before he had made any hit the elder Sothern had a dispute with Laura Keene con cerning some trivial affair at a re hearsal, and Miss Keene went into one of her tantrums. After the quarrel on the stage she retired to her dressing room and, still angry, sent :for Sothern and began to rate him fiercely. "Stop, Laura-stop- just a minute!" interrupted the comedian, and, advanc ing to the light, he deliberately turned it down.I "What do you mean by that sir?" she demanded, in a rage. "Oh, nothing," replied Sothern, "but you have always been so lovely to me that I can't' bear to look upon your beautiful face when you are In a pas sion. Now go on!" Spanish 'Emeralds. "'Fine old Spanish emeralds" Is a phrase which means something quite different from what it seems to imply. There never was an emerald mined In Spain, but after the conquest of Peru the conquerors brought home great quantities of loot, of which emeralds formed an important part. In this way the finest emeralds came into pos session of the old Spanish families, and as very few had been seen in Europe previous to that time all the best stones soon became classed as fine old Spanish emeralds. Today the ex presson still applies to the best emner alds of any source.-New York Sun. Double Proof. "Do you believe in heredity, Mrs. Simpson?" "Indeed I do.

"The general Public is not aware of the arefully worked out system by which he large jewelry houses continue to rotect their splendid wares long after hese have been sold and passed out f their bands," said a detective, liscussing daring modern burglaries. 'most large establishments dealing in ,recious metals and gems have a care ully organized and very efficient de ective system, which makes it easy or a patron to recover stolen goods vithout charge and with little or no lelay in the institution of the search. n the safes of these large jewel houses re minute descriptions of every piece f valuable jewelry which goes out 1 rom the establishment.

Queens have ruled many nations, but Pennsylvania Is the only one of thet United States that ever had a woman for governor. A passage unearthed rom Armor's "Governors of Pennsyl rana." page 126, says: "On the 30th of July, 1718,~ Wilim Penn died, at the age of seventy-four. By his will his wife, Hannah, was made his sole executrix and assumed1 the management of colonial affairs, ex cuting this difficult task with rare tact and business capacity. 'She be came,' says Wattson, 'in effect our gov ernor. ruling us by her deputies or lieutenant governors during all the term of her children's minority.'" Lion and Unicorn. The animosity which was supposed to exist between the lion and the uni orn, as referred to by Spenser in his 'Faerie Queene," is allegorical of the :leep rooted ill will which anciently ex isted between England and Scotland. Ever since 1603 the royal arms have been supported, as now, by the Eng lish llon and the Scottish unicorn In token of the fnct that St. George and St.' Andrew bad at last shaken hands and forgotten their old difference.

Go to church and hear the pastor, In his pulpit large and wide, tell about the dread disaster that o'erwhelmed the man who lied. It was Colonel Ananias, who In days long dead and gone. shocked his neighbors (who were pious) when he put the truth in pawn. A.h, he took the truth and hauled it through the cinders and the slack, and he slugged it, and be mauled it, and he split it up the back; so some bears ame up and ate him. at the prophet's stern command, and the generations hate him as they march adown the land. He was cast Into a furnace that was full of coal and wood, and he mut tered, "This will learn us" (for his grammar wasn't good.) In the Red sea's depths he wallowed, with his chariots and men, till a whale came up and swallowed him, and he felt seedy then. Let us therefore shun the fable and the foolish, futile lie; do the best that we are able, camp in heaven by and by.-Emporia Gazette. The Glory of New York. What other city is there of like size which matches New York in position? It is a seaside city; the salt water laves its feet. As the traveler ap proaches it he thinks of Venice rising from the sea or is perhaps reminded of ancient Tyre, which "stood out in the sea as a hand -from a wrist" and of which the houses were Impressively tall. "Impressive" is not too Indulgent a word for the skyscrapers of New York-clean faced, simple, original and audacious, they are characteristic of the land and of the people. They are not ugly concessions to utility, but a rather grand adaptation of architec ture to circumstances. The ancients, harassed with dread of piracy, would not have dared to build a city like New York on the edge of a great harbor open to the sea. It Is something which the modern world alone could have given us.--London Spectator. Work of a Burmese Bud.

I know you are a much better judge of hay than the horses are!" One day the bell rang. and Calino came in. "A patient has arrived, sir," he re ported. "An old patient or a new one?" asked the doctor. "New one, of course, sir," said Ca lino. "The old ones never come back!" Calino admired very much the beau tiful teeth of a lady among his mas ter's patients. "Ahl!" he exclaimed.
