Well, 1 don't know what all he didn't say ubout that fellow Ebenezer, but anyhow he noticed for some reaso* or other his address wasn't as tumultuonsly received as usual, and as he drov« gway after the meeting behind Old Li» te was humming the old hymn 'Here 1 Raise My Ebenezer' and trying to figure the matter out When he got home, be asked a good Christian lady, who happened to be there on a visit, who Ebenezer was.

Fan For the Shah.

During the winter months the little Colony of 60 or 70 English people at Teheran organize concerts for one another amusement. There is a dance now and then at the legation, and when tht weather is cold of course there is skating. Skating is the greatest marvel of all to the Persians. Some years ago tht late snah, Nasr-i-Din, saw 20 skater# twirling and curling and spinning gTacefully on the ice. He was amused. He thought it wonderfuL The next day he sent to the legation and borrowed a dozen pairs of the skates. These he oiade his-ministers put on and attemp Jo skate on the lake in the palace grounds. The poor ministers were terribly discomfited, but it was twice ar touch as their Bads were worth to re fuse. His majesty was more amused than ever, -:nd he nearly had an apoplectic fit from laughing

Unman Heater*.

In considering the problem of heating the large department stores which are now to be found in nearly every big city it is very well worth taking into account the animal heat distributed by the many customers who come intc such establishments. That this is con siderable is evidenced by the experience of at least one engineer, who, in on« such case, found that after 9:30 a. on a day in midwinter, with the ther mometer at the freezing point, no othei heat was needed to keep th6 plact warm. This fact, however, emphasize! as well the great need of a good system of ventilation in such Buildings, ai without it the air would soon becomr vitiated much beyond any reasonably permissible degree.

Icehouse Fire*.

Curiously, an icehouse is the most likely place in the world for a fire. Insurance rates are so high on ice sheds ar to be almost prohibitive of any policiet being taken out. Spontaneous combustion is responsible for the fires in ic* sheds, according to seme authoritiea When a layer of ice is melted around the top and sides in summer, an im mense amount of heat is set free When conditions are exactly favorable, spon taneous combustion takes placa Othert believe that a zone of warmth and moisture is crested by the melting i« and that this attracts ligbtuing.

WHAT TO DO WHEN SICK. In case of weak stomach, disordered liver, impure blood, shattered nerves, bronchitis, lingering cougli, or other affections which lead to consumption, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will ordinarily bring about rapid cure. If the trouble be deepseated and chronic, you had better write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, himself, at Buffalo, N. Y., telling him a sickness. He will give you a carefully-con-sidered advice, and charge fee at all. His practice has been so widespread, and has covered so many forms of disease, that his free advice i9 likely to do you more good than that of a physician who charges high prices.

Dr. Pierce is also the head of the famed Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., where hundreds of invalids and afflicted persons from all over the country go for treatment by the corps of specialists who are in constant attendance. It is because of his vast practice that the doctor is so well fitted to successfully treat every form of disease. Do not feel that you are imposing upon him when, you ask for free advice, because he wishes all to know that his medicines only are to be paid for—not his advice. "I have used three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery since my correspondence \rtth you and find great Improvement in my case," write6 Mr. A. F. Novotny, of New York, N. Y., (Box 1437). "I feel that I am in •eed of no more medical assistance. When I started to take your medicine I had a regular consumptive cough, of which I was afraid, and everybody cautioned and warned me concerning it. I was losing weight rapidly, was very pale and had no appetite whatever. Now I do not cough at all, have gained eight pounds in weight, have recovered my healthy •color, and

appetite is enormous. I can and will recommend your medicine to everybody who may he in need of the same, aa it is a sure cure, no humbug as are most other patent medicine®, and is far superior to all similar medicines."

If the head aches, the trouble is pretty 8ure to be constipation or biliousness Dr. Pierce's pleasant Pellets will cure you.

THE CHARGE AT SAN JUAN.

In Indiana Soldier Say* Bugler Who Had No Order Sounded It. W. G. Thurman of the Sixteenth regiment, who is now at his home in Evansville, Ind., recovering from a Wound, says the charge at San Juan hill was the work of a bugler.

When the Sixth and Sixteenth infantry had gained a point 150 yards f?om the foot of the hill after a serieB of ehort rushes across the plain, they dropped to fire qua load. They were flat on the ground awaiting the buglo Cpll to make another rush. Suddonly the notes rang out Instead of the short call, "Forward," which they expected, came the longer thrilling call of "Charge." With a veil that would Lnve done credit to the bronzed warriors of the west the soldiers sprang to tlieir feet and swept up the hill. With a rush they carried it and oii the top food Bliooting down the fleeing Spaniards.

Ibe commanding officer of the brigade, general ilawkins, was astounded at the charge and the bugle call which ordered it After the hill had been gained General Hawkins started an investigation to discover who was the bugler. He had no sucoess until he saii he did not wish to punish the man, but to compliment him and get him a promotion if possible. Then the man was pointed out by bis willing companions. He was Bugler Shroder dt the Sixth intentry. He reoelved the commendation of his chief modestly. The fact that Bugler Shroder ordered the charge was not noised about, but the men in the brigade knew it, and it was common talk with them. He was a hero with them, for they considered his act the only thing to do. At each short rush more men were falling. As they neared the foot of the hill the Spanish fire wa* getting more deadly and demoralizing. Tho order to charge would doubtless have come from the commauder after a few more short rushes and rest, but Bugler Shroder hastened matters.—Ginoinnati Enquirer.

THE FARMER'S DREAM.

•nKfrested That Animals Be Trained to Do Most ot Hie Work-. E. W. Tinsley of Boone county MCK, has originated a scheme which, if faithfully executed by otb.e.rs, may convince a good many kind hearted people that they should grieve no more at tbe alleged unhappy lot of tbe'American farmer. If the scheme works, the life of the farmer, from being a ceaseless round of hopeless toil, will be a long, sweet rest. Mr. Tinsley hopes to cause the change by means of trained animals, which he is convinced may be mode to do nearly the entire work of the farm with but littlo human assistance.

The idea was suggested severai days •go when in company with Judge John A. Stewart he was clearing a field of weeds by means of a mower drawn by team of mules. After driving the tears back and foith for several hours the two men repaired to a spring near by for a brief rest, leaving tbe mower in tho field. While at tbe spring they heard a familiar clicking sound which told them plainly that the mower was In motion. On investigating they found that the mules had started with the mower and were cutting weeds on thoii uwn accord, proceeding back and forth in a systematic manner, just as they had been accustomed to do when guided by human hands. After Mr. Tinsley had watched them cut several acres of weeds the idea before mentioned struck him very forcibly. He has taken the amies in hand, and tbe amount ol farm work they are doing without assistance l» astonishing the natives. Mr. Tinsley Intends to begin training horses, hoge and cattle and is convinced that he will soon have little to do but sit in th« hi" nud meditate on tho blissful iud.' of a farmer's life.—St. Loui« iobe-Demoocrat.

Protective mimicry, that (?unning device of nature to preserve animals from their enemies, is well shown in the eggs of certain fishes, notably the Call fornian shark known as Gyropleurodua francisci Tho shark is of a sluggish habit, lurking among rocks, and its dark egg resembles a leaf of kelp or seaweed folded up spirally. It is deposited among the bods of kelp and clings to tbe leaves by the edges of the spirals. The young shark bursts open the end of the egg and swims away. Another shark's egg of the Pacific coast has tentacles which clasp the seaweed and also imitate its appearance

Nly skin was almost yellow, eyee sunken tongue coated, pain continually in back aDd sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up.

We wish to invite everyone, no mattea how wealthy or how poor, all will find a welcome at the Big Store, and all will find merchandise to suit their tastes and prices to suit their purses. Just because this happens to be the most up-to-date and best equipped store in the state is no reason why the man or woman less blessed with this world's goods than their neighbors should not have been thought of in the collection of this vast stock of merchandise, and is 110 reason why all people should not trade here if they wish the newest and best goods for their money. We are Jnot exclusive except in the style® we show, and in this connection we wish to say that we exercisc just as much care in the selection of prints ta sell at 4c per yard as we do in the selection of our finest .dress goods and silks. This, together with the fact that this store is large enough to comnitiiicl th.6 latest and best the market affords, is the reason our merchandise is the best and handsomest shown for the price.
