TUESDAY JUNE 1 1897.
self strongest. Achilles never thought
he would turn his heel to an enemy but
it was in that unarmored place the fatal
arrow was planted. It is usually the organ
in his body that a man thinks strongest
that disease assaults and batters down.
Caution a man about neglecting his
health and mention consumption and he
will pound his chest and laugh you tn
scorn. He does not realize that con-
sumption beats down this defense imper-
ceptibly inch by inch. The lungs once
attacked the only weapon of defense is
the right remedy.
98 per cent of all cases of consumption
are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It corrects disordered diges-
tion invigorates the liver makes the ap-
petite hearty and assimilation perfect
fills the blood with the elements that
build healthy flesh and muscle and drives
all impurities and disease-germs from the
blood. All druggists sell it.
“I have used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
and ' Golden Medical Discovery’ in my family”
writes Mrs. G. A. Conner of Alleghany Springs
Montgomery Co. Va. ‘‘and have found it to be
the best medicine that’ I ever used. I have also
used his ' Compound Extract of Smart -Weed’
and ’Pleasant Pellets.’ They will do just what
they are recommended to do."
The newly-wedded wife above all other
women needs a good medical book. Dr.
Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser
fills this want. It contains 1000 pages
and 300 illustrations. Several chapters are
devoted to the physiology of the organs dis-
tinctly feminine. Send 21 one-cent stamps
to cover cost of mailing only to the World’s
Dispensary Medical Association Buffalo
N. Y. for a free copy paper-covered. If
a cloth binding is wanted send 10 cents
extra (31 cents in all).

Tbe corporation of Huddersfield
England made an interesting depar-
ture in tramflray enterprise some time
ago each car being’ provided with a.
letter box. This has wonderfully in-
creased.the postal facilities of the Hud-
dersfield people. The boxes are cleared
every hour in the d’ay; from 8:30 a. tn.
to 9:30 p. m. and there is a final post at
11 p. m. No fewer than 33000 letters
were posted this way last year. By this
means the post office saves considerable
expense in collection and is able to pay
the corporation $1500 per annum for
the service. The system is highly ap-
preciated by the inhabitants.

Birds have all sorts of adventures
but a very odd one certainly befell a
■sparrow that flew into a knife factory
at Anderson Ind. Getting too near a
small wheel it was sucked in and the
workmen noticed it but knowing that
the cylinder was revolving at a speed
of 130 a minute took it for granted that
the bird-had been killed. When the
factory shut down at noon the men
were astonished to bear a gentle chirp
from the wheel and behold! there was
the sparrow. The bird had clung
to the strengthening rod of the
wheel and was in a dazed condition
but five minutes later flew out of the
window. The wheel in which the bird
rode made 31000 revolutions and the
little creature traveled 74 miles before
being released.
It Causes Lassitude and a Depress-
ing Interest in Lite.
In a paper by Prof. H. C. Warren of
Princeton university there are accu-
rately described some experiments on
the effects produced by loss of sleep
conducted by Prof. Patrick and Dr. Gil-
bert of the University of lowa. These
gentlemen tested three normal subjects
composed of instructors men not
easily susceptible to influences. They
were kept awake 90 hours wit hout stim-
ulants. During this time they were en-
gaged as far as possible in their usual
occupations. After the .second night the
first subject complained that the floor
was covered with a greasy-lookingmolec-
ular layer of rapidly moving particles.
They rendered him nearly desperate.
Sometimes the layer seemed a foot
above the floor and parallel with it. As
be tried to step upon it he staggered
and tumbled could not obtain a sure
footing. Later the air became full of
swarming particles which developed
intoned purple and black gnats. He fre-
quently climbed into a chair to brush
them away from the gas jet. The ap-
pearance of all these men was the some
as if an overdose of liquor had been ad-
ministered. Those who have lost their
normal rest for several nights feel a
lassitude and depressing interest in life.
They seem to lose an equitable judg-
ment of things. Events seem out of
proportion.
Novelty in Lamp Wicka.
A remarkable lamp wick has been in-
vented which W made entirely of clay.
It is perforated by very minute holes
through which the oil passes upward
through the action of capillarity. This
wick needless to state docs not need to
be trimmed nor does the oil which has
a perfect passage upward emit any
odor. The inVentor says that its con-
sumption of oil is but one-third that of
the cotton wick while producing the
same amount of light.

Different Names for Waves.
They have curiously different names
for waves about the coast of Great Brit-
ain. The Peterhead folks call the large
breakers that fall with a crash on the
beach by the grim name of “Norrawa
(Norway) carpenters.” On the low Lin-
colnshire coast as on the southwestern
Atlantic fronting shore of these islands
the grandly long unbroken waves are
known as “rollers.” Among East An-
glians a heavy surf tumbling in with an
effshore wind or in a calm is called by
the expressive name of a “slog” while
a well-marked swell rolling in inde-
pendently of any blowing is called a
“home.” “There is no wind” a Suffolk
fisherman will say “but a nasty home
on the beach.” Suffolk men also speak
of the “bark” of the surf and a sea cov-
ered with foam is spoken of as “feather
white.” The foam itself is known as
“spoon drift.” So in the vernacular
we have it: “The sea was all a feather
white with spoon drift.”—N. Y. Marine
Journal.
More Than That.
“Why is it” he inquired “that you
persist in referring to Morgan’s wife os
his better half?”
“John Henry” she returned indig-
nantly “if you think you can argue or
frighten me into abandoning the use of
that excellent descriptive phrase 'better
half’ you are mistaken.”
“But my dear” he persisted “in this
case it is so absurd.”
“The reference to a wife as the 'better
half’ is never absurd” she asserted.
“Well" he said resignedly “from
your point of view that may be so but
when the wife weighs 2SO pounds to the
husband’s 135 it seems to me like a good
deal of an arithmetical absurdity. I
should call her more than a better half."

Who Were the AgaresaorsT
As has often been the case in the be-
ginning of a war each party accuses the
other of being the aggressor. Turkey
interprets the raid of Greek irregulars
into Macedonia as an act of war. Greece
disavows responsibility for that raid
and charges Turkey with opening hos-
tilities by occupying a neutral post and
by sinking a Greek steamer in the Gulf
of Arta. The declaration of the six
great powers that the aggressor if a
conflict arose should not in any case
reap any advantage from his conduct
makes this question of responsibility
more usually important.—Youth’s
Companion.
Againat Baptism Display.
Very recently in England and France
as in the old days long gone the bap-
tism of infants had grown into the pro-
portions of important social functions.
The most elaborate ceremonial decora-
tions splendid luncheons and extrava-
gant frocks are paraded especially on
the occasion of the christening of a
first child or an heir to estates. The
rites of baptism and feasting afterward
occupy at least half a day and the baby
is brought forward with undue prom-
inence.—St. Louis Republic.
As in Days of Old.
“I can undoubtedly clear you my dear
fellow” said the lawyer “but it will
require a considerable sum of money
to perfect your defense.”
“I have only a small amount with me”
replied the scion of a ■wealthy family
who had wandered away from home and
the path of integrity “but my father
will honor my draft for any sum within
reason.”
“Then” returned the disciple of Coke
Littleton et al. promptly "draw and de-
fend yourself.”—N. Y. World.
Election of Delaware’s Governor.
Delaware now elects its governor on
the day of tho presidential election and
he serves four years. A strong move-
ment is on foot in the state to change
the date of .the election so that it shall
occur between the national contests as
used to be the case before the death of
Gov. Marvil caused a special election
which was for a full term. —Chicago
Tribune.
Only Safe Place for Him.
Hobbs—l think it was a deuced shame
that they put old Bibbins in a lunatic
asylum simply because he went daft
over Scotch dialect stories.
Bobbs —Oh the dialect business was
bearable but say when he took up the
bagpipes the neighbors complained to
the board of health. —N. Y. Truth.
