Once, when being heckled during ai
election, a man suddenly shouted from
the gallery, “What is Mr. Merry’s opin-
ion of the decalogue?” The candidate,
turning to his agent, whom he always
kept handy at such times, asked, “What
on earth does the fellow mean by the
decalogue?” The. agent explained that
the man probably meant something
about Sunday trains and Sunday travel-
ing, upon which the candidate replied to
his questioner as follows: “I beg to in-
form my friend in the gallery that so far
as I am concerned I would abolish the
decalogue altogether.”—Leeds (England)

A Room In Buckingham Palace.
One’s respect for the accommodations
at Buckingham palace is considerably
enhanced to read that over 200 women
waiting to be presented to the queen
were gathered in the apartment adjoin-
ing the throneroom on the last drawing
room. When it is recalled that each of
these women was accompanied by her
court train, or rather that each accom-
panied her court train, it is seen how
noble must be the dimensions of a room
to accommodate 200 women and 200
court trains.—Exchange.

Singular Hallucination.
George Smith of Stockton-on-Tees was
charged at Holywell with being a wan-
dering lunatic. Smith, who is a skilled
workman and respectably connected, had
some months ago been employed on spe-
cial work at Mostyn iron works, when he
complained that a young woman from
that neighborhood had put him un-
der a spell and had taken out his eyes
and put her own in their place. He was
then taken in charge by his friends, but
afterward went back to Mostyn for the
purpose of claiming the return of his
eyes. He was ordered to be sent to the
asylum at Denbigh.—London Tit-Bits
The Marechai Niel Rose.
Although many flowers owe their
names to famous people, there is only
one instance known when a man and a
flower received a title at the same mo-
ment. When Niel, a brave French gen-
eral, was returning from the scene of his
victories in the war between France and
Austria, he received from a peasant •who
wished to honor the hero a basket of
beautiful, pale yellow roses. One of
the stems, which happened to have roots
clinging to it, the general took to a flor-
ist in Paris, in whose care it remained
until it became a thriving bush covered
with blossoms. Niel then took the plant
as a gift to the Empress Eugenie. She
expressed a great admiration for the ex-
quisite flowers, and on learning that the
rose was nameless said significantly:
“Then I will name it. It shall be the
Marechai Niel,” and at the same mo-
ment she bestowed upon the astonished
general the jeweled baton that betokened
his promotion to the high office of mar-
shal of France.—Drake’s Magazine.

A Cure For Stammering.
A gentleman who stammered from
childhood almost up to manhood gives a
very simple remedy for the misfortune:
Go into a room where you will be quiet
and alone, get some book that will in-
terest but not excite you and sit down
and read two hours aloud to yourself,
keeping your teeth together. Do this
every two or three days, or once a week
if -very tiresome, always taking care to
read slowly and distinctly, moving the
lips, but not the teeth. Then, when con-
versing with others, try to speak as
slowly and distinctly as possible . arid
make up your mind that you will not
stammer.
Well, I tried this remedy, not having
much faith in it, I must confess, but
willing to do almost anything to cure
myself of such an annoying difficulty.
I read for two hours aloud with my
teeth together. The first result was to
make my tongue and jaws ache—that is,
while I was reading—and the next to
make me feel as if something had loos-
ened my talking apparatus, for I could
speak with less difficulty immediately.
I The change was so great that every one
who knew me remarked it. I repeated
this remedy every five or six days for a
month, and then at longer intervals un-
til cured.—Good Health.
When the World Falls to Pieces.
The leading English scientists, Jones,
Hilton, et al., are figuring on the proba-
bilities of the earth finally collapsing as
a result of the modern craze for tapping
nature’s great gas retorts. They argue
that the earth is a huge balloon held up,
in part at least, by heat and internal
gases, and that when nature’s great gas
main is eventually exhausted the earth’s
crust may break in and fall into mil-
lions of fragments! Ugh! The very
thought of such a calamity is startling.
They argue that the steady belching
forth of millions of feet of gas every
hour of the day and night is surely caus-
ing a great vacuum somewhere not far
beneath the surface, and that sooner or
later the thm archway of earth crust
will give way. Then will occur the
grand climax of all earthly calamities.—

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid-
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free froin
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug-
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of 'Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

published in the News from day to day

Dr. M. J. Davis is a prominent physi-

bas been actively engaged in the prac-
tice of medicine at that place for the past
thirty-five years. On the 26th of May,
while in Des Moines, en route to
Chicago, he was suddenly taken with an
attack of diarrhoea. Having sold Cham-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy for the past seventeen years,
and knowing its reliability, he procured
a 25 cent bottle, two doses of which com-
pletely cured him. The excitement and
change of water and diet incident to
traveling often produce diarrhoea. Every-
one should procure a bottle of this
Remedy before leaving home. For sale

An Insurance Curiosity.
“Did you ever stop to consider,” asked
Lemuel Hunter, “why it is that when a
man is burned out he always overesti-
mates his loss about 200 per cent? This
is more particularly the case with fires
in frame building towns, where the loss
to the building is generally assessed at
between three and four times what it
cost to erect it. I raised this question
not long since with a man who was
burned out. He said the loss to his build-
ing was $3,000, but he proposed to re-
build at an expenditure of $1,200 and
have a better building. When I ques-
tioned the logic of his calculation, he
promptly corrected me by pointing out
that the real estate on which the build-
ing stood was worth fully $2,000, and al-
though he didn’t pretend to argue that
the site had been burned up he seemed
to think himself perfectly justified in in-
cluding the value of the 25 feet frontage in
his estimate of loss. No one was injured by
the calculation, and the good man was
perfectly justified in making it if he de-
sired, but if his idea is a general one it is
not surprising that losses generally are
greatly overestimated. ”—St, Louis Globe-
Democrat.

for eight years in southern India. Dr.
Root began by describing the conditions
under which people live in southern In-
dia, in order to show exactly what cir-
cumstances generate the cholera. There
is absolutely no sanitation there as we
have it. Drainage, with the exception
of a fever breeder in the way of an open
sewer, is unknown. In the village peo-
ple live in low mud huts, where all the
family congregate in one room, the di-
mensions of which are likely to be 4 feet
by 10 or 12 feet. As there are no out-
buildings at all, there is no way^h which
persons can protect themselves against
the cholera if it once appears in such a
household. Sometimes, if the well runs
dry, stagnant water must be used. A
high caste personage will not allow a
low caste to use his well.
Commonly people go to the river for
water. As the water is frequently not
on the surface, a “tub” is dug in the
river bed and the water allowed to col-
lect. At this tub or at the well all the
functions of bathing are performed.
First the jar is filled and the water being
dashed over the person soon trickles back
to its source. In the case of certain re-
ligious enthusiasts, water is poured over
the body 50 times. Next the seely, the
single piece of silk or cloth which is worn
as a garment, must be washed. This is
dipped into the pool. Finally the jar is
refilled and carried home. The quality
of the water by the time the jar is re-
filled is promising indeed when cholera
is in the air.
In these river tubs the clothes are
washed. The cattle are taken there to
drink. Dr. Root said that in sending a
man to the river to fetch water there was
never any certainty that he would not
fill his jar with the water standing in one
of the pools instead of digging a fresh
hole. The very cleanliness of the people
—and they are extremely clean—tends
to the spread of cholera because their
method of bathing is so unintelligent.
In southern India there is always more
or less cholera. It is often prevalent aft-
er a certain religious festival—of the
the marriage of two divinities—which is
celebrated by an encampment in the
river bed for four or five days.
As for facilities in caring for the sick
in India, Dr. Root graphically showed,
how forlornly poor these are by describ-
ing her experience in the house of the
vice president of the municipality of
Madua, a wealthy man, who arrayed
himself resplendently when he came to
ask her to visit his wife, thus showing
his solicitude for his wife’s condition.
Undoubtedly he meant to do the best he
could for the sick woman, for the doctor
found her in a room adjacent to her hus-
band’s—a position of honor. The wom-
an was badly crippled and only able to
crawl down from her cot. Beyond play-
ing with the children and polishing the
jewels nothing relieved the monotony of
her day. She was entirely uncared for.
A hole in the wall for refuse was cleaned
only once a day. The woman died of
blood poisoning. And this is the way a
sick person fared in one of the better
houses!
Usually a sick person is placed in a
room that is reached from the house by
crossing a court and passing through an
alley. The alley usually has black,
slimy water in it. The room is 7 feet
square. In the court are often found
the cow, chickens and a number of per-
sons. No wonder that under such con-
ditions cholera spreads like wildfire.
But cholera is always brought. It never
starts of itself.—Philadelphia Ledger.

UEREY
My health gave way early in January,
1889, and for two years and a half I was
almost an invalid and could not exercise
any. My whole system seemed to have
given aw’ay and when I was relieved of
one complaint another would take its
place. My worst trouble was indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, heart trouble and ner-
vous prostration ; would suffer after eat-
ing any meal. Sometimes it looked like
I would die. I was reduced from 175
pounds to 135 pounds, and nearly every-
thirgj would eat would give me colic.
I tried several first-claes doctors, and
could only be patched up for awhile. I
was necessitated to go to the springs sev-
eral times a year, as the water would re-
lieve me when medicine would not.
June the 1st of this year I had about
given up all hopes of ever' being cured,
and was arranging to go to the springs
and stay, when I was advised to try the
Electropoise. Having been humbugged
so much I was afraid to try it, but finally
decide;! to do so. When I received it I
had still less confidence in it, but ap-
plied it the first night. From the first
night on I have improved, and now my
health is about restored. I have not
taken a drop of medicine since com-
mencing with the Electropoise and can
eat anything I want, and it agrees with
□ae. Before commencing with the Elec-
tropoise I had to take some medicine
every day to keep up. My strength is
x.bout restored and I now perform all
my work that I have rot been able to do
for the past two and a half years. Know-
ing all that the Electropoise has done
for me, if I could not get another one,
money could not buy the one I have. It
has saved me, ’even if it had not cured
ti e, $150 in doctor bills and expenses at
the springs. Now, to those who suffer,
the Electropoise will cure you, if direc-
tions are followed. I have stated my
case as near right as I can, and I want
the people to know the good that is in Tunee ~"
the Electropoise. [My neighbors know - -
the good that it has done me.] Yours
truly, C. D. Thigpen.
Sun Hill, Ga., October 22, 1892.
It needs but a trial to convince the
moit skeptical that the Electropoise is
the best thing in the world for the treat-
ment of disease.

APOSTROPHE OF TIME.
O spirit stern of time, in thy unceasing flight,
How fall the works and monuments of earthly
might!
’Neath thy rude hand all pleasures flee away
And happy yesterday turns dull today!
The sweetest joy becomes the saddest sorrow
In contemplation of the stern tomorrow.
Oh, stay awhile and help me banish worry.
In other words, don’t be in such a hurry.
An instant linger—tarry, please! You won’t?
Well, then, go chase yourself! Begone!
Avaunt!
—Albert E. Hunt in Philadelphia Ledger.
It is said that the “Aurora Borealis”
as seen by the “Aleutians” when stand-
ing on his native Cape of Good Hope, is
truly a rare sight and one that a blind
man would walk a mile to look at. But
