Moonshining In York.

"Don’t talk to me about moonshining In Kentucky,” said the Internal revenue agent. “There’s more moonshining gtifng pn all the time in little”bld New York than, could be do,ne in ten Kentuckys. In the crowded sections of the east arid West sides stills spring up right along and for a wh’le conduct a flourishing business in the low-grade whisky they manufacture. “You see, it doesn’t take much trouble to equip a still with corn and yeast and start in to make the mash which is finally turned out as a pretty poor sort of whisky. The great difficulty Is In getting rid of the peculiar smoke and odor from the-stills without excitIngvsuspicion. This is usually attempted by running the still in' Connection with a dye-shop or some other chemical enterprise as a blind. We keep watch on all such establishments and have the town well covered by sharpeyed and sharp-nosed agents besides. “We are constantly arresting those small moonshiners and sending them to jail. But enough spring up in their places for you to say with safety that, as I say, there’s more moonshining go-" Ing on in New York City right along than there co.uld be in ten Kentuckys.” •—New York Sun.

How He Scored.

Gen. French, the English officer who represented that country at the recent French maneuvers, received the following letter after his triumphant return from the Boer war: “My Dear French: You nro n great British general. I want your autograph ; but, whatever you do, don’t let your secretary write it” Needless to say, says an exchange, the boy got the autograph, and a signed photograph of his hero to boot

That our American forests abound hi plants which possess the most valuable. medicinal virtues is abundantly attested ü by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers. Even the untu- , tored Indians had discovered the useful- ” ness of many native plants before the advent of the white race. This information, imparted freely to the whites, led the latter to continue investigations until to-day we have a rich assortment of most valuable American medicinal roots. 'O <5- *O « Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abbxnd in most valuable medicinal roots foA the cufakQf most obstinate and fatal dis* easts. If wtkwobidproperly Investigate them: ana of this conviction, be poiiito'wltb pridbsJb the almost marvelous cures effected-bv his "Golden Medical Discovery,” which has proven itself to be tbei most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigoraixir, heart tonic and regulator, and blood cleanser known to medical science. Dyspepor indigestion, torpid liven and even valvular and other affections of the heart yield to Its curative action. The reason wbi/ It cures these and many other affections, is clearly shown in a little book of extracts from the standard medical works whioh is mailed free to any address by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y.. to all sending request for the same. Not less marvelous, in the unparalleled cures it is constantly making of woman’s many peculiar affections, weaknesses and distressing derSngmnents. is Dr. Pierce’s FavoritexPrescrlptlolixas is amply attested by thousands ofyujXbHqitbdjestimonials contributed bjWlrteful paffrmfe who have been cured byJt olcatarrhkLne-lvlc <j.r~aijijLpainftiT periods,, irregularities, prolapsus other displace wy ation of Uterus and kindred pffectionsTonen after many other advertised medicines, and physicians had failed. Both the above mentioned medicines are wholly made up from the glyceric extracts of native, medicinal roots. The processes employed in their manufacture were original with Dr. Pierce, and they are carried on by skilled chemists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances specially designed and bullt for this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from alcohol and all other harmful, habit-forming drugs. A full list of their ingredients is printed on each bottle-wrapper.

Gibson’s Definition of “Lady.”

“I dined with Charles Dana Gibson at Princess’ restaurant in London during the season,” said a Chfcagoan to a Philadelphia Bulletin writer. “The lofty, spacious dining room was filled with women in pale gowns, their hair uncovered and their arms and necks bare, and though these women were fashionable and aristocratic they smoked cigarettes with their coffee as they watched the bioscope pictures that went on at one end of the big room, and as they listened to the singing that went on at the other. “Amid all this feminine -smoking we Airiericans begun to discuss and to define the word ‘lady.’ Was it ladylike to smoke? we asked. Would a lady ever smoke? What was a lady? “I think Mr. Gibson’s definition of a lady was the best that was given. “ ‘A lady,’ he said, ignoring the smoke question altogether, ‘is a woman who always remembers others and never forgets herself.’ ”

A Well Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most favorably known remedies in the world today is Brandreth’s Pills—a blood purifier and laxative. Being purely vegetable they can be used by old or young with perfect safety and while other remedies require increased doses and finally cease acting altogether, with Brandreth’s Pills the same dose always has the same effect no matter how long they arc taken. One or two pills taken each night for a while ki the best thing known for any one troubled with constipation, indigestion, dispepsia or any trouble arising from an impure state of the blood. Brandreth’s Pills have been in use for over a century end are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar coated.

Opinion of an Expert.

The South Chicago man, who was taking his first trip across central Michigan, looked out of the car window and saw one of those peculiar fences that the farmers of that region sometimes make by digging up old pine stumps and laying them in a row, with the roots facing the road. “Well," he said, “Pre seen all kinds of fads in landscape decoration, but, by George, there’s the worst attempt in that line I ever saw!”

JAIL BARRED TO HIM.

American Prisoner lij. China Receives Cold Welcome. When the Chinese day watchman at the American consulate went his -rounds the other morning he discovered that one of the cells that should have contained a prisoner was empty. Door and window were intact, and there was no sign to show how the occupant of the cell—C.. S. Buttrlck-—had effected his escape. Buttrlck. was serving a sentence of three years’ imprisonment on a charge of embezzlement, which was heard at Tien-Tsln.-- 4-~ ———— The flight watchman, who was at first suspected of connivance in the escape, returned to his post at 7 p. m. as usual. He told a perfectly straightforward story. He came on duty, he said, as usual, at 7 o’clock the preceding evening. Buttrlck was then out for his daily walk, but returning at about 9 p. ni. called for a tansan and then retired to his cell. The watchman saw nothing more of him, and when he left at 7 a. m. he placed the keys, as usual, on a table where the day watchman would know where to find them. Another version i£ that when Buttrick returned from his evening walk he was unable to get into the consulate. He knocked and rang for some time without any response, and finally, in high dudgeon at the inhospitality of the consulate, went elsewhere for his night’s lodging. Out informant adds that he would not be surprised if Buttrlck turned up some day to lodge a complaint .against the American authorities for locking him out in this Inhuman manner.—North China News.

pymfriE Laxative of hOaL Known Quality I There are two classes of remedies; those of known qualI V an( l which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting ’ B' > a f I 88l £ ent l?’ * n harmony with nature, when nature needs assist* X~“ ance; and another class, composed of preparations of •F /\'JufiE y/ \riii unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo* \ bbT rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural ' ? ' BL. functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of tlie remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California SW M Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of f' W plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, to wh ich the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to eon- '/ z ; tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy < SO’tSW W of aII remedieß t 0 sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system - gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming const!* | ' pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi- 1 ii?‘ pies and quality are known to physicians generally, and the 1 remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with f the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know ’/■ 4 ‘ Ir ••'X t of tlieir own personal knowledge and from actual experience | that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that j W 7 it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really Ejf:': represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, I containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed I f £; as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence , of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known | article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, | and wbo allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect | II "*jr ' * ts beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. | I To the aredit of the druggists of the United States be it said I that nearl y all of th em value their reputation for professional t integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer | t-r M V imitations of the I Genuine-Syrup of Figs I j: iV manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to > | bu y tlie genuine article, and to get its beneficial effects, one has I II jR I only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company— I ; W'•* California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every \\ ‘7 package.

Where Ships Were Made.

The name of Bath, Maine, is as inseparably associated -with the history of the merchant marine of the United States, and particularly with the American ship building industry, as that of Pittsburg is with the iron and steel incftistry in this country, or that of Glasgow’ with marine Construction in the united kingdom, says the National Magazine, As a port of entry, Bath; which once -occupied a' prominent position rand did a flourishing trade with tiie West Indies and Europe, has sunk into comparative insignificance, on account of the location of its magnificent harbor so far from the great pathways of present-day American commerce; but as a ship-building center, it has retained the “preStige won when its sh Ips were on every sea and in every port in the world, in that much regretted ante helium epoch, when the American flag was as familiar wherever the commercecarriers of the sea penetrated as the red ensign of the mistress of the seas. Neither the increasing distance of the Bath shipyards from the materials which they consume, nor the partial change from wood to steel in hull construction, have operated to deprive this staid community of its still unchallenged sobriquet, the City of Ships. 7

LIMB RAW AS PIECE OF BEEF.

Suffered for Three Years with Itching Humor—Cruiser Newark, U. S. N., Man Cured by Cuticura. “ “I suffered with humor for about three years off and on. I finally saw a doctor and he gave me remedies that did me no good, so I tried Cuticura when my limb below the knee to the ankle was as raw as a piece of beef. All I used was the Cuticura Soap and the Ointment. I bathed with Cuticura Soap every day, and used about six or seven boxes of Cuticura Ointment. 1 was thoroughly cured of the humor in three weeks, and haven’t been affected with it since. I use no other Soap than Cuticura now. H. J. Myers, U. S. N„ U. S. S. Newark, New York, July 8, 1905.”- .
