It is hojted by this means to reach the j>eople who do not attend church and give them the benefit of as good sermons asthey might hear if they should go to church." Biliousness is a condition characterized by a disturbance of the digestive organs. The stomach is debilitated, the liver torpid, the Isovels constipated. There is a loathing of food, pains in the bowels, dizziness, coated tongue and vomiting, first of the indigested or partly digested food and then of bile. Cbamiterlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets allay the disturbances of the stomach and create a healthy appetite. They also tone up the liver to a healthy action and regulate the bowels. Try them and you will be much pleased with the result.

The fact that Cincinnati has let her centennial anniversary go by without an exposition has brought that city more fame than if she had outdone Buffalo. Whooping Cough. A woman who has had experience with this diseass. tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby bov lieing only three months old. and owing to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy. Our oldest little girl would call lustily for cough syrup between whoops Jessie ' Pinkev Hall. Springville. Ala. This Remedy is for sale by Holthouse.

Holds I p £ Congressman. “At the end of the campaign,” writes Champ Clark. Missouri's brilliant congressman, “from overwork, nervous tension, loss of sleep and constant speaking I had about utterly collapsed. It seemed that all the or gans in my body were out of order, but three bottles of Electric Bitters made me all right. It's the best allaround medicine ever sold over a druggist’s counter." Overworked I run down men and weak, sickly woI men gain splendid health and vitality from Electric Bitters. Try them. 1 Only 50c.

The question is said to have arisn insomerecentca.se where the judge held that the fact that a coin was worn smooth did not entitle a jierson to refuse it. The statutes of the United States only regulate the ■ value of gold coins which are short ' weight and so silver coins are legal tender for their original value so long as their genuineness and identity can lie distinguished. Traveling is dangerous. Constant motion jars the kidneys which are kept in place in the body by delicate attachments. This is the reason that travelers, trainmen, street ear men, teamsters and all who drive very much suffer from kidney disease in some form. Foley's Kidney Cure strengthens the kidneys and cures all forms of kidney and bladder disease. Geo. H. Hausan. locomotive engineer, Lima. Ohio, writes: “Constant vibration of the engine caused me a great deal of trouble with my kidneys, and I got no relief until I’ used Foley's Kidney Cure." Holthouse. Callotv A Co m How fast does a person wink? Thanks to the scientific investigations of a German photographer, this important question is settled. The whole operation lasts about four tenths of a second. The downward movement of the eyelid occupies from seventv-five to ninety thousands of a secoia. At the end*of the decent a lid rests for a period which varies with different persons from fifteen tc seventeen hundreths. and the ascend ing movement took seventeen hun dredths. “As quick as winking,' therefore means about four-tenths ol a second.

TO THE NORTH POLE Auxiliary Expedition Fitted Out to Go to Baldwin’s Assistance. THE LAND OF ETERNAL SNOW It Is Believed That the Plucky Arctie Explorer Is Now Making His LongPromised Dash for the Pole and Expects to Get There. New York April 29.—Plans for the auxiliary Baldwin-Zeigler expedit! >n to northern polar regions have be 1 completed and the men who have been entrusted with its direction and management will shortly leave for Huron' . The steamer Frithjof. which with tiie America conveyed the Baldwin pa 'tv to Franz Josef land, has been chariered for the work and will depart from Tromsoe on July 1. The auxiliary ’ pedition will be in charge of W. S. Champ, secretary to William Zeig'er. who will sail tor Europe on the steam ship Cymric on May 23. and the remainder of the party will leave on the

' steamship Pretoria on June 7. Mr. . Champ and all of his assistants have had experience in the arctic regions. The Frithjof will again be commanded , by Captain Kjeldsen. whose work in the Arctics has been conspicuous. The Frithjof wiil go from Tromsoe to Camn Zeigler, which is on Alger Island, and there secure the last instructions lett ’ by Baldwin. It is believed here that Baldwin has worked to the northward of Alger Island and that the America is fast In the ice. When the America is found an effort will be made to refill her bunkers with coal and work her out cf ( the ice pack. It is thought that Baldwin used the America for winter head- . quarters and worked north with , sledges, establishing caches prepara- . tory for the dash to the pole. Baldwin's associates here are of the op'nion that he began his northern movement for the pole about the middle of February and that he will reach the highest point about the middle of June and the Frithjof expedition is timed to meet him.

She reall.t intended paying her fare when she boarded the street car, for she had 10 cents saved from the bari gain day scrimmage, but the conductor ! happened to be a gentleman and by ■ paying the fare himself saved her a “ weary walk to the family residence. ■ She had the 10 cents with her when t she boarded the car. and she still had , the money when the conductor came ’ through on his trip for fares, but she 11 did not pay the conductor. It was all 1 the m.iturman's fault. With her arms I full of bundles, she was compelled to . bold the ten cent piece between her . teeth. The tnotorman turned on the ■ current, the car gave a jerk, and she t guve a start. "Fare, pion sc,” said the conductor, i ami she turned pale. : “I can't pay you." she stammered, going from white to rod and from red 1 buck to white. ' “But I can't curry you for nothing,” remonstrated the conductor. , "I know it. but I can't help it. I had the money when I got on the car, but—- ] but 1 swallowed it.” A grouch on the oilier side of the car snorted a rude laugh, but the con- ( ductor was u gentleman, ami without H another word lie pulled the register a rope for another fare and passed on.— An Open Giver. .. Harold’* father was in the habit of . giving a dollar a Sunday to the church. This was put in a numbered envelope In the collection plate and the amount e credited to him on the church books. •* Mr. T. was away for the summer and !' on his return inclosed ids arrears in t the rtivelope and intrusted it to liar[l old to put on the plate. When the lito tie boy came home from church, he A said proudly; "I put an awful lot of 'I money on the plate this morning, t. More’n anybody else. I guess." d "You got the envelope there all 1 right?” asked bls father carelessly, d for Harold lied been almost afraid to 1- carry so much money. a, “Oh, yes," he said; "but I took the n envelop" off when 1 got there and Just s. put the money on the plate In my t. hand. Noliody'd have known how t- much I gave if I'd left it in the envelope."

The Girl Who Grew Prettier. Mr. Charles Whymper, the well ktztwn engraver and animal pnlnter, told the following anecdote some years ago: “I dined at Mr. So-and-so's at Highgate last night, and as a mark of honor his eldest daughter was assigned to me to take down to dinner. She’s n bright girl, and 1 got along v ;ry nicely with 1: r nnd Lady Btethetingwu on tile Other side until the ladies were on the eve of retiring to the drawing room. I was talking about the beautiful scenery near the bouse, the views from the windows, the fine air. when Miss suddenly said. T think I get prettier every day, don't you?' "\\ hat could she mean? I did not dare to answer tier, so I said: ’I beg your pardon. Wlc't did y at say; " ’1 said I think 1 get prettier every day.’ There was no mistaking her words, so I answered. Yes. indeed, you get prettier, and no wonder m such fresh air and'— Just then she caught her mother's eye, and. with the other ladies. she left the room. As she went out she looked over her shoulder with such a withering scorn in her eyes that I knew I had put my foot in it somehow. Then it flashed upon me that I had misunderstood her She had drop ped an *h.‘ What she bad said was not a silly compliment to herself. The sentence really was. ‘I think Highgate prettier every day.’ ’’—Chambers’Journal.

Knew Him Man. A story about the late James G. Batterson. president of the Travelers' Insurance company of Hartford. Ex-Gov-ernor Waller of Connecticut wanted to obtain a charter for a new corporation I which he represented, and the opposition called Mr. Batterson as their star witness. He was asked by his own side only two questions. "You have lived in Hartford a great many years. Mr. Batterson?” "Yes, sir." "Are ,vou in favor of granting this charter?” “No. sir.” Here his lawyers rested, leaving the rest to chance, knowing that Mr. Batterson could keep bis end up in any verbal battle with ex-Governor Waller. The latter began by asking: “Mr. Batterson, you have lived hero many years?” “I have." “Well, sir.” added Governor Waller, “it is my wish that you may live in Hartford many more years. That is all. sir.” Thus was Mr. Hatterson's opportunity to talk shelved. Governor Walter knew ilia man.—New York Times. The Pulpit Versus the Bar. An eminent American lawyer, nowdeceased. was sadly given to intoxication. On one occasion he entered a church while a minister was holding forth on the future punishment of the wicked. Fixing his eye upon the lawyer, who was reeling near the door, the preacher exclaimed, "There stands a sinner against whom I shall bear witness in the day of judgment.” At this the lawyer folded his arms, planted himself as firmly as he could and, addressing the man in the pulpit, electrified the whole congregation after this fashion: “Sir, I have been practicing in the criminal courts for twenty years, ami ' I have always found that the greatest I rascal is the first to give state's evi- ' denee."—Scotsman. The Spanish Language. Tlm‘ Spanish alpha bet is perfect save 1 for a single silent letter, h. Each letter has only one sound and pronounced as spelled. The written language therefore is. with a single exception, free from redundant letters. The chief difficulty in the language to English speaking people is the inflection of its verbs. These move from one mood and tense to another by terminal changes, while English verbs move by auxilla.rles. In inflect! m Spanish follows Latin. of which it is a beautiful and richly endowed daughter, so much so that it adopts no word or phrase from other languages. The Arctie Summer. The arctic summer is brief, but for weeks together there is nothing to distinguish day and night. Once at Dvornik two naturalists had left their ship at different hours. When later they met. one said, "Good morning;” the other, "Good evening.” Botli agreed tlint the hour was 7. but while one traveler held that it was 7 tomorrow morning the other maintained that it was 7 o'clock last night. On returning to the ship they settled that It was last night, so they dined and went to bed again. F.a.y, Theodore—lt’s all right, darling. I have met your father, and we took to one another at once. He even went so far as to borrow $lO from me. Surely he can’t refuse me your hand after that. Edith—Dory, I'm afraid you've made a moss of It.

Prejudiced. “So you won’t take my medicine?" said the doctor, who had been called In against the patient's wishes. “I will not,” replied the patient. "I suppose you're onv of these poor, deluded beings who believe in titrowing physic to tlte dogs." "Not indiscriminately. Some dogs art valuable.”—Philadelphia Press. HM noth Way.
