headache, biliousness, in digestion, rheumatism, pimples, blotches, yellow complexion, etc., are all signs of poisons in your blood. These poisons should be driven out, or serious illness may result To get rid of them, use Thedford's Black- raught the old, reliable, purely vegetable, liver medicine. Mrs. J. H. Easler, of Spartanburg, S. C., says: had sick headache, for * years. I felt bad most of the time, I tried Thed ford's Black-Draught, and now I feel better than when I was 16 years old." Your druggist sells it, in 25 cent packages. Irsist on Thedford's A Girl Who Was Tired. In the American Magazine Edna Fer ber has a story entitled "That Home Town Felng." One of ~the principal charactcrs in it is Mercedes Meron of the Morning Glory Lurilescuers com pany. Rere is what Mercedes says about the alleged gay life that she leads: 'i'm dead sick of this. Who cares whether I live or die? It's just one darned round of grease.paint and sky blue tights, and new boarding houses. and humping over to the theater every night, going on. and bumping back to the room agrin.

Bad money and sp:rious banknotes are as common as spDrrows. but for' ed postage stamps are seldom heard of. The most glaring case cif stamp forgery in Great Britain occurred in 1sr2 and 1S73, and its origin has never been discovered. In those days the minimum rate for telegraphic mes sages was I shilling. and the stutmps that were forged were all for such amount, eac' being passed through the Stock Exchange telegraphie oltice. One of the principal reasons against postage stamp forgery is the keenness of philatel'ists. The v'igilance of the collector would speedily bring to light the existence of any faulty stamps. Of the many thousands of varieties of stamps Issued, only about 100 are known to have been forged. and these, specimens have usually been skillfully faked more with the object of trap ping the collector than robbing the postal authorities.-London Standard. Keep the Machine in Repair. Think for a moment. A man who would no more run his motorcar on defiated tires or with sand in the gear box than he would use sulphuric acid for motive power will keep going right on at his business when the tread of his own physical mechanism is flatten ing out and the gear box of his mind is filling with the wrong kind of grit. (The impatient optimism that shakes off a vague oppression with the assur ance "I'll be all right tomorrow" has had as much to do with lengthening out the list or'bankrupts as any other one thing I could ,mention.

A Tyrant and a Terro.. It has been said the life of Frederick the Great as a boy under his father, Frederick I., first king .of Prussia, was worse than that of Oilver Twist or Smie at Dotheboys Hall. The old king was a tyrant of the worst de scription, and his own family experi enced him at his worst. Frederick as a boy received instruction in music and French from refugees in Berlin, but when the king learned of it he stopped the music pieremptorily. The lad had little liking for militery pursuits. His father suspected his son of 'heresy without having any clear Idea of what his own' theology really was. Once in a rage the king almost strangled his son with a window cord, ami at length matters were brought to a -risis by the prince running away. It was only through diplomatic inter vention that Frederick's life was spared, for he was a soldier, and he had been guilty of desertion. in his father's eves this was a heinous of fense and so grave that a friend who was associated with the priace in his "rebellion" suffered the extreme pen* Escapes An Awfr.1 Fate.

The canny grocer sized up his cus tomer. She had ordered six strictly fresh eggs. He took down the paper bag and, go ing to the basket, picked them out. Twisting the top of the bag together, he handed it to the woman, who paid I him and went away. The canny grocer smiled. He had given the women seven eggs when she ordered but sir. He knew that when she reached home and found she had seven Instead of six eggs she would be so delighted with the supposition that she had over reached him that she would entirel disregard the fact that six of eggs were storage and one was dubious. For the grocer understood human na ture. And he was canny.-Cleveland FPiM Dealer. Deep Grief.

The man wound up his story of the funeral thus: "In the silence that ensued the wid ow wept for sixteen seconds."-Wash ngton Star. Discovery of Speed of Light. e One of the greatest discoveries of science is due to observation-of the eclipses of Jupites moons. It Fas 0 found that when the earth'was In the part of Its orbit nearest to Jupiter , these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes - earlier than when it was in the far thermost part, whereas by all rules of astronomy they should have occurred at the same minute each time. It was S deduced from this that the light was 33 not instantaneous and consequently took sixteen minutes to traverse the diameter of the earth's orbit, a dis tance of about 200,600,000 miles, thus A giving to light a velocity of 186,000 miles a second, which was accurately shown later by other experiments.
