Grisham of Gears Mills, La., has to say on the subject, viz.: “1 have been a suffcret from chronic diarihoea ever since the war and have tried all kinds of medicines for it. A - last I found a remedy that affected a cure and that was Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.” This medicine can always be depended upon for colic, cholera morbus, dysentery and diarrhoea. It is pleasant to take and never fails to tffec’ a cure. 25 and 50 cent sizes foi ole by Smith & t allow. 0 Another tribute to American manufacturing superiority is conveyed in the announcement that Japan is about to abandon the English steel rail on her imperial railway and substitute for it the heavier American rail, known as the Pennsylvania standard. Eagle, Wis,, is infested with an entirely new species of bug, resembling s large bee. that preys upon growing corn, destroying crops by the acre in a very short time, leaving the cobs clean shelled on the stalk. No remedy hayet been found for the ravages of the | pest. The Rhind manuscript, deciphered some 80 years ago, a hieratic papyrus now in the British museum, written by an Egyptian priest, Ahmes, about 1700 B. C., is the oldest intelligible mathematical work extant. Another and older roll on a mathematical subject exists, but has not been deciphered. On an average two false coins are received every day for examination at the Paris mint. Those that are not toe greatly spoiled in testing are added to a collection in the museum of the mint. This collection is said to be very large and very curious, but access to the museum is prohibited to the public. “I nave never had a days sickness in tnj life.” said a middle-aged man thejotlierday “What a comfort it would be,” sighs somt poor invalid, “to be in his place for a yeai or two.” Yet half the invalids we see might be just as healthy as be, if they would only take proper care of themselves, eat proper food—and digest it. It's so strange that such simple things are overlooked by those who want health Food makes health. It makes strength—and strength wards off sickness. The man who had never been sick was strong because he always digested his food, and you could become the same by helping your stomach to work as well as his. Shaker Digestive Cordial will help your stomach and make you strong and healty by making the food you eat make you fat. Druggists sell it. I’nal bottle 10 cents. An Important Question.

To Prevent Wrinkles. Numbered with other beauty hints 1 dropped by a contributor to the New York Tribune i- the following: Wb.-t. the .skin is inclined to show I wrinkles, lanolin is considered one <f the. b* St ] 1 ■ -ii le treatments tor dispelling these evidences of the passage of time.- It closely resembles the natural ' fat, in which the wrinkling skin is deficient. and it is more readily absorbed by the drying pores than other greasy preparations. Rub it in carefully, gently and slowly, first bathing the face thoroughly in hot water and cocoanut oil soap. Dry by pressing soft old dam-i ask towels, to the skin, not rubbing it' at all. Then apply the lanolin, rub- j bing it in with the fingers. Let it stay I i until morning, then wash the face m warm water, using a little cocoanut oil I soap to re-move the greasy feeling. Then squeeze half a lemon in a large bowlful of tepid water and rinse off the face, 1 drying with a soft damask towel. An Evening Escort. Some time ago it was announced that fashionable men no longer offer their | arms to ladies when on the street in tin evening. In commenting on this a writ er in The Ladies’ Home Journal says. "Personally 1 think any well bred man walking with a lady at night would offer her his arm, for unless he did this other people might come between them, and the very protection that he is supposed to give—preventing her from I coming in contact with the crowd—would amount to nothing. ” From the same source comes the fol-1 lowing, “Etiquette demands that when you go out to spend an evening you do ' not depend upon a friend to bring you home, but that yon should be accompanied either by a member of your own family or a maid. ” Fashion Echoes. Belts for next season’s wear show a decided increase in width. Dress suit cases with toilet fitments are patronized by both sexes. The first seamstress to reach Klondike ’ is said to have netted S9O from plying her needle is 80 working hours in Dawson City. We were waiting for the beds to be made up in the Santa Fe sleeper and j passed the time swapping yarns. . 1 "I met recently,” said the secretary < of a Columbus (O.) corporation, ‘‘an ' old professor of Miami university, 1 where ex-President Harrison graduated. He said that when Harrison was a sen- ; ior in college an elderly man, whose j name I have forgotten, came there to , make a speech in favor of the abolition 1 of slavery. It was only the average 1 abolition speech of those days about 1 slavery—its wrongs, its injustice and t the final results of its continuance. In those days, of course, very few of the | colleges or college communities shared i the sentiments of the abolitionists. The most progressive of them seldom went' beyond the Henry Clay or Daniel Web-1 ster ground of compromise. Harrison , had already a reputation as a college | orator and was called on to reply He ' was unprepared at a moment’s notice . to present a very formal argument, and | in order to gain time to collect his I thoughts he began with glittering generalities ’The gentleman, he said, * ‘was conversant with bis subject. He is an older man than I am He is a more experienced man He is taller He I has more whiskers He has longer 1 hair’— "‘And better manners, ’ interrupted the stranger in a mild, remonstrant voice I from the front seat he had taken to , hear the young orator The youth stop- j ped, blushed, could not recover his j speech and eat down without finish- ' ing. ” —Chicago Times-Herald. From an Irish Root. Metaliferous Murphy was an assayer and justice at White Pine, Nev., in early days He was called Metaliferous because a piece of grindstone was sent ; to him once for an assay, and he reported that it went S4OO to the ton in } gold and S6O m silver. One day his constable, who bad held bis office for I about a year, asked: “Judge, what does the et al. I see in the titles of suits mean?” "Yer ignorance surprises me, sir,” declared the judge “It is a Latin phrase taken from the good old Irish phrase ’At all, at all * ” —San Francis co Post Dr. W. H. Drummond. Dr. TV. H. Drummond of Montreal, the author of “The Wreck of the Julie Plante” and other French-Canadian dialect poems, is a native of Dublin and has been in Canada since he was 3 years of age. He has always beeu an ardent sportsman and is one of the best fishermen in Canada. This sport has carried 1 him into the backwoods and among the lakes and streams where salmon and trout abound, and where he learned the legends and the tongue of almost the oldest white people on the continent. He knows their speech perfectly, and his poems are many. But they have not sifted far out into the world. Two Views. First Man (a bibulous party) —There’s a lot of body in this wine.

The rn-n soaked rascal grinned out loud. “Why, Santa Crus,’’ he said. The Armenians claim direct descent from Noah, as he settled in their country after the flood. Their country has been conquered successively by 42 different nations. General Booth thinks Lot’s wife must have bad some Scottish blood in her veins, judging from her reluctance to pack up and leave her native city with out thinking over the matter.

Fur trimmed ! garments are to be popular. House gowns, even, will be trimmed with fur j later on. Fur capes come in various lengths, j Some are very short, with a deep collar i and perhaps a frill of lace. Very jaunty 1 are the short jackets and fur blouses. 1 Sleeves are smaller, but not inconven-1 iently so There are many forms of fur neck- j wear. Boas and tippets made of fox and j sable promise to be very fashionable. Muffs are larger and more dressy than usual. Tailor gowns, which are in great vogue, will call for fur neckwear later I in the season. There are little bands of sable or fox, fashioned like a collar, which are looked upon with favor. These are trimmed with clusters of tails, after last season’s fashion. A costume seen in olive green cloth and trimmed with mink furnished a pleasing instance in way of fur trimmed gowns. The Russian blouse coat in black caracule is without doubt one of I the smartest garments of the season One seen was made with the fashionable amount of fullness all round and finish-

Gentlemen fanners have been favor-! ites in fiction and picturesque characters in real life for generations. The gentlewoman fanner is • a newer species and is thus described in the New York Commercial Advertiser: She is neither as hospitable nor as exclusive as her masculine counterpart. She does not I raise big vegetables, manynoth flowers or blooded stock for her own delight or the edification of her friends. She is extremely practical. The basis of all her arguments is necessity. She has ■ gone into fanning to earn a living, or | even more than a living, and if she I charges you 8 cents a quart for milk j you can buy in town for 6 cents she I will politely but firmly tell you that j her cows are of finer breed than those which supply milk for ordinary city milk stores and that fresh cut clover I costs more than bran and straw as fodder. ! You meekly admit the truth of these} arguments, and when your bill is sent' —on crested, cream tinted paper—you think of the aristocratic lineage of those cows and pay without a murmur. Empire Hand Mirror. A little mirror which folds into a handle, after the manner of a lorgnette, is known as the empire hand mirroi and especially appeals to the matinee girl. It can be carried without inconvenience in one’s pocket There are, 1 however, some gorgeous affairs made in gold or silver and enriched with jewels. These are worn on a chatelaine or depend from a long neck chain. Brief Mention. Mrs. Richard King of Texas, the cat tie queen of an enormous ranch, is out of the richest of American womfti.

Many Indian mounds have been discovered in southern Indiana ami httvi yielded valuable finds, ttoue axes wcr. formerly pitntiful in the farming dis tricts of that state and were used for i door props, but they have now almost disappeared. Arrowheads aie the only relics that are even fairly plentiful. The following item is reported in the southern correspondence of Ihe Electrical World: "A curious thing is reported from Staunton, Ya. The telephone people, whose experience -with pretty telephone girls has not been altogether satisfactory, advertised for ugly girls, and there were 25 applicants. ” The Lombardy poplar tree, it is said, forms a splendid natural lightning con ' ductor, its great height and lack of } spreading branches enabling it to conduct a lightning stroke straight downward. No house by which one of these trees has been reared as yet has been known to suffer from the severest storm. Paris has, apart from two places where paupers can spend the night, 14 asylums for the homeless, which last year lodged 144,087 persons, of whom 15,557 were women and 2,606 children. Among the lodgers were 246 professors and teachers, 18 students, 5 authors, 5 journalists, 120 actors and singers, 80 musicians, 16 music teachers, etc. The colony of Victoria likes its cartridges in packets of 25, but the infallible Britisher insists on supplying them in packets of 100 The Result has been that it has opened a market for the wide awake Americans, who give the Victorian just what he wants. At Hongkong the British makers have lost their whole trade in candles because they will not alter their system of packing to that adopted by the continental makers. HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

WHAT TO IM). There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the mgbt to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If \ou need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

A Woman’s Deed. A BEKEFACTRESS WHO IS D3IHB INCALCULABLE GOOD. Devotes Much of Her Time to the Benefits of Children—How She Helps Them. From the Evening Newt, Detroit- ADch,

Mrs. John Tansey, of 130 Baker Street, Detroit, Michigan, is one of those women who always know just what to do in all trouble and sickness. One that is a mother to those in distress. To a reporter she said: “I am the mother of ten children and have raised eight of them. Several years ago we had a serious time with my daughter, which began when she was about sixteen years old. She did not have any serious illness but seemed to gradually waste away. Having never had any consumption in our families, as we come of good old Irish and Scotch descent, we did not think it was tl«u disease. Neither did she have a hacking cough, yet she grew thinner and paler each day Our doctor called the disease by an odd name which, as I afterward learned, meant lack of blood. “ It is impossible to describe the feelings John and I had as we noticed our daughter slowly passing away from us. As a last resort I was induced to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, made by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., which I understood contained in a condensed form all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and
