Made Miserable for Life.

This yon may easily be If yon fall to remedy tbe indigestion and non-assimilation of the food, which are the attendants and originators of nervousness, that ever present ailment which no narcotlo. mineral sedative or nervine can ever dp more than temporarily relieve. Of eonxse three remedies have no effect npon the organs of digestion and assimilation, exoept to disorder and enfeeble them, thus aggravating the original difficulty. Among the most alarming and dangerous symptoms of chronic nervousness is insomnia, which is the professional term for inability to sleep. Where this exists there is always a tendency to mental overthrow, paresis and eventual insanity. Begin at the fountain head of all this difficulty with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and avert evil consequences. No sooner does the stomach resume its tone, and the system gain in vigor through tbe aid of this benign tonic, than sleep returns and the nerves grow tranquil. Chills and fever, rheumatism, biliousness and constipation yield to the Bitters.

Educational Thirst Was Limited.

A school master was one day instructing his class in a scientific subject, when, wishing to simplify the explanation of a certain point by an every-day illustration, be asked: “Have any of you boys ever stirred up a wasp’s nest?” “Yes, sir, I have," promptly answered one of the smaller boys. “Well,” said the master, encouragingly, thinking tq draw out the boy’s intelligence, “what was the result?" “Please, sir, I didn’t wait to see," answered the boy.

First Recorded Indian Divorce.

.Judge Pitzer, of Canadian County, Oklahoma, recently granted a divorce to Luke Bearshield from his wife, Nellie. This-is the first instance on record of full-blooded Indians, married with the Indian ceremonies, applying to the courts for separation, but as the statutes of Oklahoma legalized all Indian marriages, the noble red man can no longer obtain a divorce by leading his squaw to the door, telling her to go, and giving her a parting kick. —GlobeDemocrat.

Both Coming; and Going.

In the country not long ago a protracted rainstorm left the roads almost impassable for vehicles. A Yankee was driving in a light buggy and met a jolly Irishman plodding along with difficulty on foot. “It’s very bad going, isn’t it’” remarked the Yankee. “Yes,” responded Pat, “and it’s mighty hard cornin’, too.” -

“Don’t Tobacco Spit Your Life Away”

Is the startling, truthful title of a little book just received, telling all about Notobac, the wonderful, harmless, economical, guaranteed cure for the tobacco habit in every form. Tobacco users who want to quit and can’t, by mentioning The Tidings can get the book mailed free. Address The Sterling Remedy Co., Box 1280, Indiana Mineral Springs, Ind.

When about midway between the two shores they discovered that their boat was leaking badly. They had nothing with them with which to

bail out the water, and neither ol them could swim, so you may be sure they were badly frightened. At

length the rabbit hit upon a plan which he thought might, save them. “Let us,” said he to his companion, “fall to drinking the water in our boat, and perhaps in this way we may so reduce it that we shall be able to reach the other shore in safety” The raccoon readily agreed to this plan, and both animals set to drinking with a will. But though they were able to reduce the quantity of water in the tub it continued to settle and presently went down with the two travelers. From this sad tale we may learn the wholesome lesson that shifting a responsibility is not ridding one’s self of it.—St. Nicholas. '

Kiteflying and Kitemaking.

There never was a boy or girl who did not like to fly a kite. A little girl will drop her dolls at any time for the honor of running alongside of her brother when he holds the kite strings in his hands, and the boy will forget his marbles and his top if there is a chance for kiteflying. An easy way to make a kite is to take four strips of wood and tie them together so that the ends stick out in every direction. Let one of the sticks be a great deal longer than the others, and this makes the point'd end of the kite, or the tall, to which the colored papers are to be tied to make the kite look gayer. Tie a string around the ends of the sticks so as to make the frame for the kite, and then cover with paper. Newspapers will do, although colored paper is prettier. A large kite takes a great deal of strength to fly it. Once upon a time a man whose dogs were disabled in the arctic regions made a kite strong enough and big enough to draw his sled. And so his kite helped him over a great many miles of ice and snow where he would have had to walk had he not learned to make a kite when a boy.—New York Lodger. •

Farewell to Earth.

The crier, or tambourincur, as he, is generally called, because he carries a drum, is one of the institutions ol rural France. A traveler in the valley of the Cele says, in “Wanderings by Southern Waters,” that he found the tambourineus making the rounds of a town, lustily beating his drum to awaken the curiosity of the inhabitants, and accompanied by an ox, which he introduced to the public as “le boeuf ici present.” The crier’s business is to announce to all to whom it may concern that the animal is to be killed this very evening, and that to-morrow morning its flesh will be sold at one franc twenty-five centimes the kilo. It will all go at a uniform price, for this is the custom. Those who want the alayou, or sirloin, will only have to he in haste. The ox, notwithstanding the fact that he has a rope tied around his nose and horns, and is led by the butcher, evidently thinks it is a great distinction to be tambourine; his expression indicates that this is the proudest day of his life. Every time the drum begins to rattle he flourishes his tail, and when each little c&remony is over he moves to a fresh place, with a jaunty air, as if he were aware that all this drumming and fuss were especially intended for his entertainment. No condemned wretch ever made his appearance in public with better grace.

A Wonderful Planer.

A masterpiece in mechanical construction lias been built in Glasgdw, a vertical and horizontal planing machine, for the use of marine engineers and others, when ordinary planing machines are insufficient. This machine consists of a heavy bedplate of a box section, forming the work table, and carrying, when desired, a set of compound slides, and circular table, the motions of which can he made self-acting. For horizontal planing, the vertical column, which carries the tool, is driven by two horizontal screws connected by bevel gears; and, in vertical planing, the tool is traversed up and down this column by a vertical screw, driven by a bevel gearing below; the driving nuts which run on these screws are very long and completely envelop the screws, thus having ample wearing surfaces; the tool saddle is balanced by a weight inside the column, supported by vertical chains, and automatic and hand feed are provided both in the case of the saddle and column. The driving is effected through two sets of pulleys, the smaller giving the quick return motion after the cut, and the belts are so arranged that one belt leaves the llrst pulley before the other begins to drive, thus reducing the wear of the belts. The change of ’driving from vertical to horizontal can be effected instantaneoulsy.

Gold-Hunting Still Goes On.

The search for gold is going on very actively all over the globe, and with very remarkable results. Much more will probably be mined in California yet than has been taken out since pioneer days, and all up to Alaska and eastward to the Kocky mountains there Is plenty of average ore and even hope of rich strikes. Unquestionably there is much uncertainty in prospecting, but we know a great deal more to-day of the successful conditions than when ground was first broken in California and Australia. On the Randt, in South Africa, rich reef ore has been struck at a depth of over 2,000 feet, and many well-known veins have been traced and identified at that depth. Difficulties of working must be overcome when there is wealth in sight. In western Australia an extraordinary discovery of gold deposits has been made, raising expectations of richness to the highest pitch. This discovery comes after the man who found gold in Hew South Wales had declared from a special examination that the colony contained nothing auriferous. —San Francisco CalL

Historical Mistakes in Literature.

The mediaeval romances are full of blunders, making contemporaries of men who were separated sometimes by hundueds or thousands of years, but as historical criticism had not then a being and the general information of the age was not superior in any particular to that of the novelist*, their plans do not amount to much from a literary point of view. Such an instance is the case of Ariosto, who might be supposed to know something at least of tho truth of history, hut whose once famous poem, “Orlando Furioso,” is a tissue of historical absurdities from beginning to end. Charlemagne and his peers are joined by Edward 1., of England; Richard, Earl of Warwick; Clarence, and the Dukes of York and Gloucester. Cannons are employed hundreds of years before the time of Monk Schwartz. In one place Prester John, who lived 400 years after Charlemagne, and Constantine the Great, who died five centuries before him, are introduced and hold familiar converse with the great Charles, while in another Saladin and Edward the Confessor are joined by tho Black Prince. But there is no need to go back to forgotten poems, or imaginative works known by name only, to find illustrations of the momemtary forgetfulness, ignorance or carelessness of authors. Byron speaks of tho thousands of Xerxes’ ships, wheroas the Persian king had only 1,200 at first, and 400 were destroyed by a 6tortn before the memorable naval review mentioned by the poet off the Island of lolanus, so that only 800 actually participated. But Byron was far from faultless in matters of history and geography, or he would not have made Teos one of the islands of Greece, whereas it is a jseaport in Asia Minor. Mcore falls into a grave error in tho lines describing the sunflower turning to the sun, whereas the sunflower does nothing of the kind, as may be seen by anyone Who cares to make the necessary observations. Nor is Tennyson free from the faults common to most authors. In most of his romances lie followed tho version given by Mallory in his “History of Prince Arthur, ” but made innumerable variations, most of which were in all probability mere slips of memory.—Globe-Democrat.

When a Woman Faints.

If there is anything amusing about a fainting spell it is the conduct of the men called upon to witness it or lend their assistance in reviving the luckless woman who succumbs. A few Sundays ago, at tho Cathedral at Louisville, a pretty girl fainted up in the organ loft. As soon as it was seen that she was prostrated by the closeness of tho air, the terrified men in tho choir huddled together and stared helplessly at the chief actor in tho drama The women, however, were equal to tho occasion. They supported the tottering girl to a bench, placed her on it, and began ordering tho men around like generals on a field of battle. In five minutes one young fellow had been dispatched for a glass of water, another for ice, smelling salts, and whisky, while the remaining gallants sat by and gave their sympathy. Hardly had this little scene ended before a young girl seated near the sanctuary was seen to gasp and turn pale and look extremely unhappy. The crowd was so great that it was impossible to tako her dawn the aisle, so an usher was pressed into service and carried her down the sanctuary to the sacristy beyond. The young lady was conscious enough to walk, and the usher hurried her away as if nervously apprehensive that she would faint outright, and he would be obliged to put his arm around her. “You don’t know how awful it is to try and carry an insensible woman,” groaned one of the ushers. “They aro twice as heavy as usual, and feel like a sack of meal. You can always tell, though, when they are beginning to get all right, for the first thing thoy want to knew is if their liats-are on straight.”

Don’t Blame the; Cook If a baking powder is not uniform in strength, so that the same quantity will always do the same work, no one can know how to use it, and uni- • * formly good, light food cannot be produced with it All baking powders except Royal, because improperly compounded and made from inferior materials, lose their strength quickly when the can is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted. It is always the case that the consumer suffers in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any substitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder. It is always strictly reliable. It is not only more economical because of its greater strength, but will retain its full leavening power, which no other powder will, until used, and make more wholesome food.

IN THE PAWNSHOP.

A Discovery Which Made the Proprietor’s Hair Curl. Herman Stone, the pawnbroker and jeweler, who lias a place on Jaokson street, near the corner of Fourth street, was looking over a quantity of unredeemed pledges the other day, when he fouud something which made his hair fairly stand on end. About a year ago a young man called at the store of Air. Stone, and said he desirod to borrow some money from tho office on some personal property. The property consisted of a valise, an overooat, a suit of clothing and a gold watch. The amount loaned on the goods was $45, and tho man who secured the loan said that ho would call in tho course of a few days and redeem the proporty. The goods were placed in the vault and had remained there undisturbod ever since. When the musty old saohel was taken out of the vault yesterday it was found to be in the same condition as it was at the time it was plaoed in the room for safo keeping. The clothing had been made into a separate package. Tho valise was broken open, and inside was found a red leather belt considerably the worse for wear. The bolt was taken out, and in handling it was noticed that it was very heavy and had little pockets along tho sido. Mr. Stone took the belt out into the front room of tho store and opened the pockets. Out rolled gold pieces—double eagles—to the dumber of thirty-four. They were as bright and shiny as the day they were taken from the mint, and they looked as though they had just been taken from the bank. Tho coins wore all of the samo date, 181)0. Tho money legally belongs to the finder unless some person from whom it was tuken, as it was apparently stolen, proves his property.—St. Paul Gl6be.

The Rarest Plants.

The question which aro the rarest plants on earth admits of two answors —as to rarity in distribution and as to rarity In tho numerical Benso. There aro some plants which grow in one small spot and nowhere elso. Such are tho Kerguelan cabbage, which is found only on Korguentn island, a remote island In 45 degreos south latitude and (15 degreos east longitude in the South Pacific, the species of harebell which grows only on Mt. Parnassus, and a yam which is found only on the Pyrenees. The palm of numerical rarity is divided among two hybrid orchids—artificially produced crosses—laolla bella and laelia sedina, of each of which only one specimen exists, a unique flower called odontogloßsum vecillarium, exhibited at the last exhibition of the Horticultural society in Temple Gardens, and a tiny Japanese plant, overweighted with the pretentious name schizocodon soldanellotdes, which was brought from Japan about two years ago by Capt. Torrens. So far as is known it is the only one in existence. Who would be free from oarthly Ills must buy a box of Beecham’a Pills. 25 cunts a box. Worth a guinea.

The Art of Praying.

If prayer is worth using at all, and great numbers of intelligent people are oonvinced that it is, it is worth using with the utmost intelligence and the highest attainable skill, writes Edward S. Martin, In the North American Review. Tho kind of prayer in which tho petitioner usks for everything ho can think qf, in tho hope that some of his supplications may reach the mark, is as much out of date u those doses affected by doctors of the last generation, in which a lot of drugs were mixed, not for their combined effect, but in the hope that the right ono might bo among them, and might find its way to tho right spot in the patient. Perhaps clumsy doctors do that way still. Not so the masters of medicine. Their diagnoses make plain to them what they want to do; then, if they use a drug at all, it is sent to accomplish that particular purpose. So, in this enlightened generation the prayers of the great prayor-masters should be rlfle-sho.ts sent by an understood foroe at an ascertained mark. Whethor they hit or miss should depend upon comprehensible conditions. If a savage fires at tho moon with a rifle ho may be surprised at not hitting it; but a man who understands rifles is not surprised. Ho knows what may bo oxpected of them. So it would seem it should be possible to understand prayer.

Mrs. Cleveland's Housekeeping.

Tho mistress of tho White House has little trouble in housekeeping, for all tho servants aro under control of the steward. On him devolves tho duty of proparing a bill of fare and of marketing; then ho sees that the other domestics aro fulfilling their duties properly. Over tho kitchen, two housemaids, butler and assistant laundry-woman and stable servants, he has the entire supervision, and if he wishes to discharge bolp he gives his reason and c tmplaint to the mistress of the houso, who acts as she thinks best. All of tho servants, except tho cook and tho coachman, are paid 1 for out of tho President’s salary, and &b there are about ton in all, tho item is no small one. For running expenses—such as repairs—the government allows a certain sum each year.

Dialect Literature.

Tho dialect of the magazines Is generally tho worst possible misspelling, with very little approach to the pronunciation which ft is supposed to Indicate. Apparently the hardest thing for a writer to loarn is that dialect Is not bad spoiling. Half the Irish dialect 1b even worse. Tho trouble is that the writers have, as a rule, picked up their diulect from other writers and know nothing of the genuine article. If they would go to nature there would be a marked improvement in this respect. —Globe-Democrat.
