FRIDAY £ APRIL 1 1898.
LAUNCHING THE LIFE-BOAT.
There are greater dangers than those of
the angry sea. That dread disease—con-
sumption kills more men and women in a
generation than the sea has swallowed up
since the earliest history of navigation.
There is a sure and safe life-boat ever
ready to be launched for men and women
who suffer from this merciless destroyer.
It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov-
ery. It cures 98 per cent of all cases of
consumption bronchitis asthma laryn-
gitis weak lungs spitting of blood and
throat and nasal troubles. It acts directly
on the lungs driving out all impurities and
disease germs. It soothes and heals the
mucous membranes of the lungs bronchial
tubes throat and nasal cavities. It restores
the lost appetite makes digestion and as-
similation perfect invigorates the liver
and purifies and enriches the blood. It
fills the blood with the life-giving elements
of the food that build new and healthy
tissues. It tears down carries off and
excretes the diseased and half dead tissues
upon which the germs of consumption
thrive. It checks the cough and facilitates
expectoration until the lungs are thor-
oughly cleared. It is the great blood-
maker and flesh-builder. Unlike cod liver
oil it does not build flabby flesh but the
firm muscular tissues of health. It does
not make corpulent people more corpulent.
Thousands have testified to their cure
under this great medicine after they were
given up by the doctors and all hope was
gone. An honest dealer will not suggest
some inferior substitute for the sake of a
little extra selfish profit.
rA man or woman who neglects
constipation suffers from slow-
poisoning. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets cure constipation. « One
little “Pellet” is a gentle laxa-
tive and two a mild cathartic.
All medicine dealers sell them.
No other pills are “just as good.”

POPULAR IN GREECE.
Prince George la Mneh Admired by
Ills Father’s Subjects.
Although Prince George of Greece
seems to be something of a back number
just now as regards the governorship of
Crete there is about as much reason to
believe that the close partnership of the
European concert has given him up as
there is to speculate on the probability
of the sultan's taking the oath not to
kill any more Armenians.
Prince George is the second son of
King George I. and younger brother of
the prince royal Constantin duke of
Sparta who made such a fiasco of his at-
tempt to whip the Turks a year ago in
Thessaly. George is very different from
his brother Constantin and the Greeks
PRINCE GEORGE OF GREECE.
(The Most Popular Member of the Royal
Family.)
think that if he had been at their head
instead of the heir apparent the ambas-
sadors in Constantinople would now be
regulating what tribute the porte
should pay Hellas. But unfortunately
Prince George is not a soldier; his train-
ing has been in the navy where he now
ranks as frigate captain. He also holds
the commission of lieutenant in his
grandfather’s navy. His grandfather.
King Christian IX. of Denmark is very
proud of Prince George whom he had
educated almost under his own eye. So
from his father’s ancestors he probably
inherits his love for the sea. His moth-
er before her marriage in St. Peters-
burg in 1867 was Olga Constantinovna
grand duchess of Russia. Prince George
was born at Corfu June 24 1869. He is
a strapping big fellow over six feet in
height handsome and of great muscu-
lar strength. His brothers Constantin
and Nicholas who is a captain of ar-
tillery are much smaller. It is no won-
der that the Greeks under the influence
of the memories of the heroes of an-
cient Hellas should admire him above
the other members of his family.
Thoroughly believing in their prince
the Greeks would be very glad to see
him rule over their kinsmen in Crete.
In spite of the sultan's objection and the
disagreements of the powers among
themselves they may yet live to see him
governor of the island.
A PAIR OF INNOCENTS.
Two Dodgers of the Customs omelals
Compare Notes.
It was during the brief time that the
customs officers were on the alert to
capture all kinds of sealskin wearing
apparel that she was coming across
the river. Though fine-looking she
had a provincial air and a pair of eyes
as innocent as a baby's.
After the officer had passed two-thirds
the length of the ear she looked up to
see him standing beside her seat.
“What is it sir?” she asked in a so-
licitous way. “Have you lost some-
thing?” and she began gathering her
skirts about her feet that he might
hav£ a clearer view of the floor.
“I'm a customs officer madam-” he
said very Impressively for a man in his
position feels humiliated at having to
identify himself. “Have you anything
on you on which duty should be paid?”
“Why my dear sir I wouldn't smug-
gle. If I did it would be when I could
get the best of the states for I’m from
the dominion don't you know?” just
ns if it were not as plain as though
the union jack had been tattooed on
her forehead. “I thought you had lost
something.” The eyes were more con-
vincing even than her artless talk and
when the official made ft perfunctory
examination of her valise just to hold
his job she indulged in a contagious
laugh telling how very odd it all
seemed.
Three blocks from the depot she was
met by a man in a silk hat box over-
.ccat flash suit and puffing at a big
black cigar.
“Whait luck. Kit?”
“Forty-seven diamonds two pounds
of opium and a sealskin jacket under
this cloak. Tm melted.” —Detroit Free
Press.
She Stomped Him.
A farmer who thought he knew
everything was pulled up by his little
daughter -who asked:
“Father when you've finished milk-
ing a cow how do you turn it off?”—

A. BE 1 TE L. MANAGES
Are Annually Devoured by the Peo-
ple of Chicago.
Chicagoans eat 118 acres of pie a year
—and pie isn’t indigenous to the city
either.
This isn’t mere guesswork. It is a
matter of accurate calculation. The
returns of the bakeries with a small al-
lowance for the product of the house-
hold show that the daily consumption
is about 32000 pies. The regulation ar-
ticle is nine inches in diameter and has
a surface area of 63.65 square inches.
Thus 2036800 square inches or over
14144 square feet of pie disappears
down the throats of the pastry-eating
community every day. Carried out for
the year this would give a granff total
of 5162722 square feet or about 118
acres.
And still Chicago seems to thrive and
the doctors are not kept half busy.
These figures are something stupen-
dous when one stops to consider them.
The improved part of Oakwoods cem-
etery comprises about ZBO acres. A
year's pie for Chicago would virtually
cover the entire cemetery with dyspep-
sia an inch thick leaving scarcely room
enough for the office building in which
to keep the records. The various minor
parks of the city could in a year be
transformed into veritable paradises
for the small folk. The whole of Jef-
ferson park could be overlaid with pies
22 thick. Campbell park could be made
a solid block of pies 91 thick. The Mid-
way plaisance might be paved with pies
and there would then be enough left to
treat in the same way Gage park Ellis
park Douglas Monument park Vernon
park Wicker park and Logan square.
Put side by side the pies consumed in
Chicago in a year would make a side-
walk down the 1075 miles of paved
streets in Chicago amd there would still
be 625 miles of pies left for the streets
not improved. Used differently they
would make a single pie sidewalk near-
ly half way around the globe or a
double track sidewalk almost to New
York and back.
In spite of such data Boston Insists
that Chicago is no place for pie.
The pie trade in this city is of recent
development and its enormous propor-
tions are a surprise even to the men in
the business. There are six concerns
that alone turn out about 26000 pies a
day. There is scarcely a little bakery
that does not have an output of from 25
’ to 100 a day. Add to this the pies not
like mother makes but that mother
makes and the showing is such as to be
a real pleasure to the man who invented
and filling.
Pie is a pretty good criterion of pop-
ular taste amd the men in the business
have to be close students of other men
and the weather. To begin with the
demand fluctuates with the season and
there isn’t a pie on the list—the list by
the way comprises 21 varieties —that
doesn't have its ups and downs. Appla
i is the most stable of them all. It has
Its votaries the year round with peach
a close second. During the winter
months mince is the prime
but its reign is marked by the thermom-
eter. ha summer it is given a back seat
in the pie wagon. Pumpkin squash
and cranberry are also popular in the
fall and winter.
Currant pie is a branded article. It
is declared to be no good and some pie-
makers have excluded it from their list*
entirely. Rhubarb has its day of glory
in the spring and is followed by goose-
berry. Grape does not have its innimg
till about August but it holds its own
fairly well till late in November. Whor-
tleberry strawberry raspberry black-
berry and cherry are all very popular
summer pies. Among soft pies cocoa-
nut custard and lemon cream hold their
own the year round and stand practi-
cally on a par. Lemon apple and plum
are held in contempt much as currant.
“There is no accounting for tastes”
said the president of one of the pie pro-
ducing concerns. “They seem to bo
constitutional. Of course the season
has a good deal to do with the fluctua-
tions of the demand but certain ptes
seem to have the faculty of winning
their way to an eater's heart or stom-
ach. You wouldn't sell some people
anything but apple pie to save your life.
Then some are in love with what we
call soft pies—cocoanuts custards and
lemon creams—and there is no use
showing them anything else. Some pies
are as popular as certain authors.
Waiters soon get accustomed to cus-
tomers and know what to expect. A
man will often order one kind of pie
day after day for weeks and then he
will seem to have a change of taste and
will start on a new tack. I don’t think
the number of pies eaten varies much
from month to month but there Is a
marked difference in the kinds asked
for.”—Chicago Tribune.
