The right thing for a man to do when he finds he is out of sorts physically is to give the mind a little rest, and promptly resort to the ri^ht remedy for his physical ailment*. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best of all medicines for a balky body. When the head aches, the appetite is poor, the sleep is restless, the nerves are shaky and both body and brain suffer from dullness and lassitude, it is time to resort to this great remedy. It restores the appetite, corrects all disorders of the digestion, makes assimilation perfect, invigorates the liver and purifies and nourishes the blood. It the great blood maker and fleshbuilder. It is the best of nerve tonics and restoratives. It makes both body and brain alert and active. Medicine dealers have nothing "just as good."

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

Tii« speech of Lord Salisbury at the rect=i" banquet given by the lord mayor of Lourluu was uot satisfying as a statement of the government's position and probable course in the trouble with France and related matters. The apparent evasions of the British prime minister on that occasion wore a surprise as well as disappointment to the English "people. His claim that the Faehoda incident had been closed and peace assured in the face of the general know.'" lge that England was continuing preparations for war has created

LOIil) SALISBURY,

the impression that the premier was not taking iiis countrymen into his confidence.

A British protectorate over Egypt is a consummation of the difficulty with France hoped for by Englishmen generally, and consequently the statement of Salisbury that everything in that direction was satisfactory so long as France didn't disturb the present situation was a disappointment.

Though much that Lord Salisbury said was vague and apparently lacking in decision, no one donbts that he has his customary firm grip upon a policy to be pursued by his government, though he isn't talking about it to the public.

The Empress of Germany. Sfi The empress of Germany loses no opportunity of "doing little kindnesses" wherever she goes. A very pretty story is told of her recent visit to Westphalia during the maneuvers. In a village close to the imperial headquarters the widow of a captain in the merchant service occupies a small room. She is invalided, bedridden and very old, but her one great wish was to see the empress drive past the carpenter's cottage where she lies on her little bed. Some kind soul had suggested to the empress' chamberlain that it would be a great kindness if the imperial carriage would be allowed to drive slowly when passing the invalid's window. The request came to the empress' ears, and in her kindness of hfcart she left her carriage, paid a long visit to the Eickroom and left the lonely sufferer in a state of happiness greater than words can tell.—Westminster Gazette.

Two Lions.

There are two "lions" in Indianapolis society of the present day. One is Benjamin Harrison, the ex-president the other James Whitcomb Riley. The former walks down the street courteously bowing to acquaintances. Seldom does he stop to talk to a friend. The poet is more democratic, for he will "heave to" iu his easy saunter at any time to talk to an old frieud.

Along toward 4 o'clock in the afternoon Riley drifts down town, and after he has talked with some one for a few minutes a smile comes to the face of the friend, for Riley has surely 6aid something very quaint. His humor comes into his everyday speech very much as it does in bis verses in a stiikingly original, vein.

He was equally unsuccessful when he held out to her the allurements of power. All his wealth and all his long trains of slaves impressed her not at all. He bored her veiy ha«^y.

Then in despair and no longer trusting to his own resources, he determined to take counsel of a woman that lived I seven days' journey away. He went on his pilgrimage on foot, and because he could not sleep nor weary himself he made the jw.irney in four days. The wise woman was old and gray and sat huddled up in an untidy parcel. When

Then he began his jour^oy home again. And by this time he was fain to sleep and weary in all his limbs. But for bis great longing to win the love of the woman he still went on by night and day. And as he traveled by night the liquid in the green jade cup gave him light to guide his footsteps. But at the last sleep would no longer be denied. He stretched himself on the sand a whole hour, with the cup of green jade standing at his head. And as he slept the only person that ever came into his dreams came into them once more—the woman whom he loved. And in the dream she said to him, "You are coming to 6ee me."

He answdul "Yes. And now at last have I the means to overcome your hatred to me and to turn it into snch love as 1 myself have for you and ever shall have."

She then said: "You have been to the wise woman, and yon have bought from her a love philter iliat she alone can make." "Yes," he said. "For the liquid gleaming like fire in its cup I have given all my possessions. Do you doubt its power?" "No," 6he answered, "I doubt itnot If I diink thereof I shall love you forever, only it will not be I, and it will not be you." "I do not understand," he said. "If I love you not now and love you after I have drunk of this cup, then it is because the philter and not you has made the change in me. It is a trick, a poor deception by which you will try to fool yourself and me." "Then," hesaid, "better this unhappiness than that happiness," and poured the philter into the 6and.

And when be awoke the cup was indeed overturned, and the thirsty sand bad drank the precious liquid to the last drop. So, having no longer any hope, he went back on bis way borne.

And as he approached tbe house where the woman whom he loved lived, she came down the steps toward him, holding out both her bands. "I watched for you from the window, she said.

The first that he tried was brilliance and martial achievements.

THE STORY OF A PIN.

The pin Is a verv useful apparatus invention. It is very useful 'o the people the United States as well as the people of oilier countries of Europe. It is used in pinning dresses and other lotletfi.

The pin if very cheap in this town and other counties of Georgia. They are two or three pack* for 5 cents and sometimes sold for four or five packs for 5 cents.

Pins were first used in Great Britain, and they were first made of wire in 154U. Brass ones were imported from France by Catherine Howard.

At first pins were made by Jlling a point of proper lenpth of wire. In some parts of France the thorns are still used as pins.

Supposing a boy was climbing a fence, and he had accidentally tore his coat, and be was scared his mother wonld whip him if she would see that whole in his coat, but if he had met another companion of his on his way home, and this boy had pi:i, of course the boy would feel better and po home on a sly and slip in the house without seeing his mother.

Some days after this the boy's mother notice the whole In her son's coat. Of course the boy's mother ask him about this whole, and the boy tell his »iother the truth about this. Of course the boy feels better after this, and after the boy receives a whipping he meets the boy that gave him the pin and thanks bizn.

This is the good of a pin.

Sarah Ann's Name.

She was a very unhappy little girl, and it was all on account of her name, which was Sarah Ann. Inouo of her beloved princesses in the fairy stories, none of the little girls, good or bad, in any of her books were called Sarah Ann. If she couldn't be called by such lovely names as Goldenhair, Violet Eyes, Ethelwinda or Gloriana, mamma might at least have named her Edith or

She didn't care if Sarah and Ann "I know." she said, "for what you were the names of two dear aunts, they have come. You desire the lady of your were just as ugly as could b3. love." "Yes," he answered, "I desire that and nothing else. I desire that at any price. What would you have me do, what would you have me give your"

Then he showed her the equivalent of his bankbook prevalent at that time, and she went over it with care. But she said that she would take everything, all that he had—all his treasure, all his slaves—and iu return she would give him a love philter. Then he most cheerfully made over to her, by the equivalent of a deed of gift prevalent at that time, the whole of his possessions, and she placed in his hands a cup of green jade containing a liquid that was as clear as water and that shone in the dark as though it had been lira "See," she said, "that the lady of your love drinks of this. Then will she love you you only you, with her whole heart you forever."

It was a rainy day, and she couldn't go out, and that made her all the crosser, so she just sat by the fire and sulked until the bell rang, and a poor, wet, shivering little colored girl came in. She was homely, oh, just as homely as conld be, and she had no stockings on, only wornout shoes. While mamma was getting ready some of Sarah Ann's old clothes she asked the colored girl her name. "Violet Aland Clarissa Johnson," was the answer. Mamma looked at Sarah Ann a moment, then went on tying the bundle.

After Violet Maud Clarissa Johnson, very grateful for the clothes and food, but casting a regretful look at the bright fire, had gone into the wet again, Sarah Ann told mamma that she didn't feel quite so badly about her name as she did before.

Then mamma said: "What's in a name? 'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.'

And Sarah Ann decided that she would be a nice sweet rose for the rest of that day anyway, instead of a horrid prickly burr.—Helen Higbie in Christian Work.

The Unlucky Dog.

Towser was an unlucky dog. He was very black and 6haggy and very wise for a dog only 5 years old. His mistress, whose name was Blanche, was 9 years old. He was only 1 year old when he v.as given to her, and she had taught him many tricks and some manners too. Of one of his unlucky mishaps I will now tell you.

Once when he was calling with his mistress at a friend's house and was running around the yard be Eaw a mouse. Now, Towser loved mice, and so began to chase this one. It ran straight for the well, where its house was, and Towser after it. The mouse ran into its bole. Towser jumped after it and fell right into the well. He commenced to cry and howl for help. Blanche heard her pet and tried to find him. At last she thought of the well, and, running to it, she saw the poor dog. The bucket was soon let down, and he very quiokly jumped into it and was pulled up and saved. He bad many other misbape, some worse than this one. Was not be unlucky?—Eunice Bronson in New York Herald.

FASHION AND FABRIC.

Dark, rioh plum colors of a reddish cast are highly favored among winter tailor costumes of cloth.

Satin is made great use of this autumn in lining long, narrow loops and pointed ends of velvet that are tuaohlne stitched In silk on their extreme edges.

Many of the small pelerines and other shoulder capes of last winter are modishI7 changed into very attractive styles with a frill at the edge and long slender stole fronts.

On some of the rich dark costumes for the winter are arranged yokes of silk applique. with revers of seal, mink, astrakhan, chinchilla, otter or other dark fur beyond.

Fringe In jet, silk, beads, cords and oherllle has come into fashion if not into general favor. In spite of their familiar drawbacks, fringes of every make are used by high class dressmakers.

There Is this season a very extensive show of small fur neck pieoes and a few boas In all tbe long fleeced furs, such as black fox, marten, lynx, Alaska sable, eto., with fair sized muffs to match.
