A Double Crop of Apples.
On a Long Island farm is an apple
tree which bore two crops of fruit the
past year, and the farmers are taking
unusual interest in this peculiarity of
nature. Just as much interest is be-
ing shown in Hostetler’s Stomach Bit-
ters, which cures dyspepsia, indiges-
tion, constipation and blood disorders
when other remedies fail to benefit.

“The relations between the passen-
ger departments of the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads,”
said D. B. Martin, manager passenger
traffic of the B. and 0., “are not strain-
ed nor is there a rate war in progress,
as has been stated in several recent
newspaper paragraphs. While, of
course, we do not like the new feature
introduced by the Pennsylvania rail-
road, considering the aggressive action
of our own line and all other circum-
stances in connection with the passen-
ger situation at this time, we are not
in a position to find much fault.”
It has been suggestively said that
what is shoplifting among the poorei
classes is kleptomania among the rich
This is the irresistible logic of social
conditions. It is conceivable to the
average mind how a man or woman
suffering from poverty and want
should appropriate to themselves those
things which they most need and de-
sire. It is inconceivable, however,how
a woman with every want supplied and
money to purchase her heart’s desire
should deliberately steal that which is
of no material value to her and by so
doing court the risk of social ruin. It
is not well to deal too carelessly with
the word kleptomania. It is a disease.
It has ruined hundreds of homes. Klep-
tomania in its actuality is shoplifting.
But all kleptomaniacs are not shoplift-
ers.
Mr. Stead reports in the London
Daily Chronicle that wherever he goes
in Europe he finds the governing
classes understanding, and to some ex-
tent using, the English language. At
the court of St. Petersburg it is the
household tongue; the czar, the czar-
itsa and their children habitually use
it in conversation with each other.
There is an old saying that the tongues
of earth are many, but of heaven only
one. Then the growth of one language
toward universal use—and the English
language is making it—may well be
■r^t'aonti a growth. toward Vjgggdivine
ideal.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear-
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucus surfaces.
We wil 1 give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for

PERSONALITIES.
Frau Charlotte Embden, the only
surviving sister of the poet Heine, has
just celebrated hu 98th birthday.
Carolus Duran, the ’**'11 known
French portrait-painter, has been
elected presideaigpf the National So-
ciety of Film ^fts.'tn’^'iace of tL late
Puvis de Charannes.
Lady Alice Montagu, who, it is said,
will spend this winter in New York,
is one of the twin daughters of Con-
suelo, duchess of Manchester. She was
the most admired of all the belles of
the past London season and is noted
for her beauty.
Nikola Tesla is the foremost living
original investigator in the field of
electricity. He was born in Servia
about thirty-five years ago and is a
Slav. His father was an eloquent
clergyman in the Greek church, but it
was from his mother he inherited his
genius for invention. Mme. Tesla in-
vented looms and churns and other de-
vices while her husband preached.
Young Tesla was educated in the poly-
technic school at Gratz and it was
there that his attention was centered
on electricity. After he left school he
became assistant in the government
telegraph engineering department at
Budapest and then drifted to Paris.
Coming to the United States he entered
Edison’s shop and later set up his own
laboratory in New York. Since then
his career has been part of the history
of the advance of electrical science.
AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.
It Is right to be contented with what
We have, never with what we are.
Life is a battle, and the downfall of
one man is the opportunity of another.
There is in nature just as much, or
as little, as the soul of each can see in
her.
The highest compact we can make
with our fellow is—let there be truth
between us two for evermore.
Think of God not as one before
whom we shall stand, but as one be-
fore whom we do stand every day.
The one who will be found in trial
capable of great acts of love is ever
the one who is always doing consider-
ate small ones.
Good nature is the very air of a
good mind; the sign of a large and
generous soul, and the peculiar soil in
which virture prospers.
There is a deportment which suits
the figure and talents of each person;
it is always lost when we quit it to
assume that of another.
Look not mournfully into the past;
it cannot return. Wisely improve the
present; it is thine. Go forth to meet
the shadowy future without fear and
with a manly heart.
Labor is the ornament of the citizen;
the reward of toil is when you confer
blessings on others. His high dignity
confers honor on the king; be ours the
glory of our hands.
Burns’ verse falls naturally into two
main divisions. One, and that the
larger, appeals with persistency and
force, on the strength of some broadly
human qualities, to the world in gen-
eral; for the reason that the world in
general is rich in sentiment, but lacks
the literary sense. The other, being
a notable and lasting contribution to
literature, is the concern of compara-
tively few.
STORYETTES.
The vicar of Skegby, England, was
conducting a marriage where the bride
was a regular attendant at Sunday
school. When she was asked, “Wilt
thou have this man to be thy wedded
husband?” she replied: “Yes, verily,
by God’s help I will, and I heartily
thank our Heavenly Father, who hath
brought me into this state of salva-
tion.
One morning Emperor William, who
has a great penchant for building
churches, was riding in his carriage on
Unter den Linden, when an old gentle-
man espied him from a distance, and
Immediately bared his head, which
was as bald as a billiard hall. Sud-
denly the old gentleman felt somebody
touching his shoulder and heard a
voice behind him saying: “Say, old
man, you better cover your head, for
wherever the emperor notices a bald
spot he’ll surely build a church.”
Bismarck, in his younger days, was
gifted with tremendous physique and a
readiness to “box without the muffle.”
He once received a queer compliment
near St. Petersburg from a Russian
istvochik, or cabman, a very rough fel-
low, indeed, as they all are. The prince
hired him to take him out of town to
a village near by, paid him with a
handsome gratuity and dismissed him.
The man, however, became insolent
and even threatening. Bismarck seized
him, turned him around and with one
vigorous kick sent him flying down the
entire flight of stairs. The man got up
and, while rubbing himself, glanced
at Bismarck not without admiration.
“Is naschi?” he said (“One of us?”).
Whether it would be well to have an
extra session of congress called after
the fourth of March is now a much dis-
cussed topic. The present congress,
the Fifty-fifth, and the Fifty-third
were both summoned in extraordinary
session. The frequency of these calls
grows out of the long period which or-
dinarily elapses between the Novembei
election of members of the house and
their assembling in regular session in
December of the following year. There
have been many earnest advocates of a
change in the congressional calendar.
Spaniards in Cuba now want to be
Cubans. Things have changed, and
the “ever-faithful isle” will try to be
faithful to herself.
It is said Cornelius Vanderbilt re-
ceives on an average as many as 300
letters daily. He is not bragging about
it. There are quack doctors with con-
fidential secrets to sell who get as
many.
In Albert D. Richardson’s “Beyond
the Mississippi,” published more than
a quarter of a century ago, occurs a
passage which, in the light of recent
events and their ulterior possibilities,
seems almost prophetic. He points to
the fact that the “Spirit of Progress,”
emerging from Egypt and China, has
passed on through Greece and Rome
and Western Europe; across the At-
lantic, through Jamestown harbor,
over Plymouth Rock, and on to the Pa-
cific. “Ere long,” he continues,
“through the Golden Gates of San
Francisco, it will go out by the islands
of the sea to that dreamy Orient where
it was born. And then—what?”
Whether equal suffrage is to be ea«
joyed or merely endured by women, it
has been for some years conceded to
them in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and
Idaho; and just now South Dakota has
come near to adopting it in the form
of a constitutional amendment. It is
noteworthy that in all these new and
marsely settled communities of the
West the women are much less numer-
ous than the men, and are probably
the more highly valued for their rar-
ity. In many localities they are chosen
as directors or superintendents of
the schools, and in Idaho two of then?
have been elected to the legislature.
LITERARY NOTES.
Col. Henry Inman has written *
beautiful idyl of the raton range,
called “A Pioneer from Old Kentucky”
(Crane & Co., Topeka). It is very re-
cently from press and will undoubtedly
have a deserved popularity on the book
stands.
“A Life of Christ for the Young” is
the title of a most valuable book by
George Ludingtcn Weed (George W.
Jacobs & Go., Philadelphia). It is ex-
cellently illustrated and all in all is a
story of the Savior most beautifully
told. It is books like this that make
the world pleasanter to live in.
A fact not generally known is that
Sir Edward W. Hamilton, K. C. B., the
author of the monograph on Mr. Glad-
stone, just published, was the great
Englishman’s private secretary for a
number of years and thus had excep-
tional opportunities for studying Mr.
Gladstone's personality and for ob-
serving his methods of work.
The earlier novels of the late Harold
Frederic, which give so dramatic a
series of pictures of life in central New
York state, the author’s home, have
had a good sale and are being called
for more and more frequently since
Mr. Frederic’s death. Of “Seth's
Brother’s Wife” there have been sold
about 3,000 copies; of “The Lawton
Girl” about 7,300; of “In the Valley”
about 5,350, and. of “In the Sixties,”
made up of “The Copperhead” and the
“Marsena” stories, about 2,060; in all,
not far from 18,000.
Few people have an adequate idea of
the heavy expenses to which the great
magazines are put when they attempt
the elaborate illustration of an im-
portant serial. The drawings, for ex-
ample, for Henry Cabot Lodge’s “Story
of the Revolution,” all of which appear
as illustrations in the two-volume edi-
tion of the work just published, re-
quired the exclusive services for many
months of some of the best artists in
the country, and were made at a total
cost to Scribner’s Magazine of about
$182,000.
Mr. Cutcliffe Hyne is certainly the
Ulysses among modern writers. With-
in the last f«w years alone he has
ranged the earth from the Arctic sea to
the Congo and from the Gold coast to
the Russian Lapland, journeys equal
to four times the circuit of the earth
at the equator, and still he counts
every year wasted which does not add
10,000 more miles to his monumental
score. Fate surely designed him for an
explorer; the exigencies of life have
made of him a writer, to the world’s
advantage and his own.

THE EXCELLENCE OF STOP OF FifiS
is due not only to the originality and.
simplicity of the combination, but als®
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy.- As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken-
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
