STANDARD DICTIONARY.

What Leading Authorities Say About the Work. The Freeman's Journal, Dublin, Ireland, March 23, 1894: "For scholarly accuracy, and exceptional fulness . . . it stands unrivaled. ... Of other existing dictionaries with which we are acquainted, we know of none that can be compared with the Standard." Simon Xewcomb, LL D.. Johns Hopkins University, the great astronomer, April 2, 1895: "There was a determination shown at every step to spare neither expense nor trouble in obtaining the most accurate infortration on every subject that entered into the Dictionary. Looking over the finished work I am surprised at the renewed evidence of that care and attention, which I meet at every turn. As a specimen of which every one can judge, we may take the colored plates. Their beauty needs no statement from me, but I must say that I have never seen any plate of the spectrum which reproduced so accurately and brilliantly the actual colors as observed." Dr. G. Brown Goode. Smithsonian InEtitution, February 17. 1894: "The make-up of the editorial staff is such that the book could not have failed to realize the plan of its projectors. It will be to words what we hope the National Museum will some day become to concrete things. The arrangement of definitions is very like that which we have found so admirably serviceable at the Museum lately." Gleanings in Bee Culture. Medina, O.: "3eing aware of the errors in the International, we begged of the publishers of the Standard not to go and do likewise. The long and the short of the whole matter is. that we shall have at least one dictionary that will give our industry (bee-culture) proper recognition, and bee-keepers will take pleasure in referring to it as the 'Standard' so far as it relates to the subject of bees."

A TRAVELLER'S TESTIMONY. ü What He Carried on the Cars

To Take when Travelling.

"F.-rcry traveler knows that continuous Journeying on the railroad is verv apt to derange the ystem in some way. fn spite of spring and soft seats there Is a continuous jar and vibration, which acts upon the nervous system, and produces results varying aomewhat. according to the strength of the traveller or his predisposition to some specific ailment. The most common consequence of continuous car riding is constipation. And this condition invariably produces headache, and tends to bil ousness. J. J. Converse, St. Louis, Mo., f und a way to avoid the eril effects' of constipation, to which he was subject when travelling. He cartied with him "the pill that will " cure constipation and all its sequent sufferings. This is what he says : "Travelling on the cars tends to constipation with me, but by using Dr. J. C, Ayer'a Till moderately, my Dowels are kept in heaKh v action. They also prevent headache." J. J. Converse, St. l,oui,Mo. Dr. Ayer'a Pills are good for constipation under all circumstances and conditions. They have curtd long standing cases after every other medicine had failed. Rev. Lv. Lv. AR. Ar.

RIOTERS BECOME SOLDIERS.

Their Commanding Officer Was Ones Their Prisoner, From the Washington Post: Col. Anderson, commanding the Second Tennessee regiment, which is stiioned at Camp Alger, was talking with a group of gentlemen from his own state yesterday. This gallant officer has already gone through as interesting an experience as he will ever bo likely to figure In, whether he joins the Spaniards in deadly combat on the soil of Cuba or in the far-off Philippines. He commanded a force of state troops in the famous Coal Creek strike in East Tennessee six or seven years ago, and it is almost a miracle that he is alive now to tell about it. The rioting strikers, it will be remembered, burned the stockade and freed a lot of convicts who had been employed in the coal mines. Their desperate conduct necessitated calling out the militia, and Col. Anderson went to the front to help put a quietus on the rioting. In some way he became separated from his men and was captured by the strikers, who imprisoned him and came very near shooting him. He was in no wise daunted by his captors, and when they spoke of killing him he defied them to fire. A peremptory demand for his release, accompanied with a threat of wholesale hanging, caused his liberation. The most curious part of the whole affair is that there are now in the regiment which Col. Anderson leads a half dozen of the very men who participated in the Coal Creek strike, and who wre present when he was captured. They are now, however, on the best of terms with their commander, and are willing to follow him wherever he leads. They are great, big fellows, fino specimens of physical manhood, and are eager for a chance to spill Spanish gore. Stones in Codfish. Among the curious things connected with the codfish is the frequency of large stones being found in the stomach. These are of various sizes; sometimes in a large fish weighing many pounds. It ir I popular belief among fishermen that these are taken just before a storm for the purpose of anchoring themselves during the expected swells of the sea. The supposition is corroborated by the fact that all the fish taken before a storm agree in this peculiarity, whereas at ordinary times nothing of the kind can bo detected. Beaaty I Blood Deep.

Deep streams move with silent majesty, shallow brooks babble over every tiny stone. Prancis B. Harlowe. of Atlanta. Ga., fnft nishes a case in point. He writes; "For some years past. I was subject to constipation, from which I suffered increasing inconvenience, in spite of the use of medicines of various kinds, until some months ago, when I began taking Dr. J. C Ayer'a nil. They have entirely corrected he costive habit, and vastly improved my general health." ( Rv.) PaAMCis B. Harlowe, Atlanta, Ga. Constipation is, perhaps, the most serious physical evil of to-day. It is like the Octopus, that grapples it9 vjctjm antj fastens its tentacles on trunk and limbs one after another, until at last, incapable of longer resistance, the helpless being succumbs to his frightful fee.

A STARTLED MOTHER. From t ie Fraport (111.) Bulletin. While busy at -work in her home Mrs. William Shay, corner of Taylor and Hancock Avenues. Freeport, 111., was startled by hearing a noise just behind her.

Turning quickly she saw creeping toward her her four-year-old daughter, Beatrice. The child moved over the floor with an ef-

5 f o r t . but seemed niieu with joy at fitidinc her Mrs. Shay Was Stirtlcd. mother. The rest of the happening is best told in the mother's own words. She said : "On the aJBtli of Sept. 190, while in the bloom of health. Beatrice was suddenly and eeverely afflicted with spinal meningitis. Strong and vigorous lefore, in five weeks 6he became ieeble and suffered from a Earalytic stroke which twisted her head ack to the side and made it impossible for her to move a limb. Her speech, however, was not affected. We called in our family doctor, one of the most experienced and successful practitioners in the city. Ht considered the case a very grave one. Before long little Beatrice was compelled to wear a planter paris jacket. Prominent physicians were consulted, electric batteries' were applied, but no benefit was noticed until we tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. "Busy in my kitchen odp afternoon I wa startled by the cry of "Mamma' from little Beatrice, who was creeping toward me. I had placed her on an improvised bed in the parlor comfortably close to the fireside and given her some books and playthings. She became tired of waiting for me to come back and made up her mind to go to me, so her story, My Pink Pills made me walk,' which she tells to everyone who comes to our house, was then for the first time verified. She has wnlked ever sind. She has now taken about nine boxes of the pills and her pale and pinched frtce has been growing rosy, and her limbs ga ned strength day by d&r. She sleeps all night long now, while before taking the pills she could rest but a few hours at a time." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all druggists. A Natur.il Conclusion. The Philadelphia Record prints an amusing story of the late Pres. William H. Allen of Girard college and a lady of more inquisitiveness than intelligence. On one occasion a business matter called Mr. Allen to a small town in the central part of Pennsylvania. While sitting In the parlor of the country hotel in the evening, after transacting his business, he was taken in hand by the wife of the proprietor, who wanted to know all about his private affairs. Mr. Allen took it all in good part, and for a time was rather amused. Finally she asked: "Have you much of a family?" "Oh. yes," said he. and he smiled as his mind reverted to his hundreds of pupils. "How many children?" she persisted. "Well," said Mr. Allen, with great earnestness, "I have five hundred, and all boys!" The good lady was speechless for a moment. Then she arose, and hurrying to the door, called softly to her husband: "Oh, John, come in here! We've got Brigham Young stoppin' with us!" The Adirondack Mountains The heart of this wonderful region of mountains, lakes and streams is traversed by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, and to more fully inform the public regarding its beauties and easy means of access the Passenger Department has issued a book entitled "In the Adirondack Mountains." describing in detail each resort, and containing also a large map in colors, giving a list of hotels, camps, lakes, etc., together with their heat ion; it has also issued a large folder, with map, entitled "The Adirondack Mountains and How to Reach Them." giving complete information regarding stage lines, steamers, hotels, etc. A copy of the book will he sent to ! any address on receipt of two 2-cent s amps, or the folder for one 2-cent stamp, by GEORGE H. DANIELS, General Passenger Agent, Grand Central Station, New York. "Shabby Old Coat.' West Point was. for the last ten years Of his life, the summer home of General Scott, of whom Mrs. Sherwood, in her "Rerciniscon'-es," pleasantly gossips: '"he hero of the Mexican war always, on the Fourth of July, wore his old military coat, the one in which he rode into the Mexican capital "on top of a picnic," as he used to say. "Very shabby old ccat. madam, very shabby old coat I" the gratified old man would exclaim, as he felt a lady's hand laid gently on his arm. as she asked to touch the sacred doth. He wore the coat on many historic days, and was pleased to snoulder his cane and fight his battles over again. Once, while telling the story of Arnold's treason, and pointing out from the hotel piazza the spots assoc iated with the traitor, he said, referring to Mrs. Arnold's devotion to her husband. "She clung like ivy to a worthless thing." All Difference In the World. Little Willie If 1 had a thousand dollars I'd give it all to you, Nellie. Little Nell Then why don't you give me your penny?
