IMtofro There is a great difference in the purposes to which a laxative should be put. Tablets and pills, salts, -etc., are usually violent purgatives or Cathartics, and altogether too powerful for the average person. A woman at all times needs only M mild laxative—in fact, hone other is needed by anyone, weak or strong though they may be, for the object is simply to move the bowels, and if a gentle laxative Will do it, frhat is the use of a violent one? Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has earned B Well-deserved vogue among women and children and old folks—people who must necessarily be careful of what they take. It is a liquid laxative tonic and admittedly the greatest stomach, liver and bowel remedy before the American people. The price is only 50 cents or $1 a bottle, as it comes in both sizes, and all druggists sell it. Its pleasant taste and gentle action make it an ideal remedy for women in constipation, torpid liver, sour stomach, sick headache, heartbum and such like digestive complaints. Its use for a short time will remove the trouble entirely so that future medication will be unnecessary. Its tonic properties build up the stomach and Intestinal muscles so that they act naturally again. That this is so is the experience of many heads of families, like Mrs. Brannan, of Alvarado, iVa., Mrs. K. L. Stout, of Louisville, Ky., and numerous others; in fact, way out in (Williams, Cal., as Mrs. 3. E. Blackmore, Of that place, writes, the whole town peems to be using it. If the remedy is new to you and you want to make a trial of it before buying, •end your name to the doctor’s address aS below and a free test bottle will be sent you.

Warning to Trappers and Wild Bird Owners.

A Tetter from the Indiana Deputy Game Warden has just been made public by the Indiana Humane Society. The letter follows: To the Indiana Humane Association and Indiana Audobon Society:* The act of the Legislature of 1905, Section 602, page 729, makes it un-' lawful for any person to kill, trap or possess any wild birds, or to make purchase, or offer the same for sale, or to offer to destroy the nests or eggs of any wild bird, and a fine of not less than $lO nor more than SSO is provided for violations of any part of this law. Deputies of this department are instructed to arrest and prosecute any person found kiling wild birds, or trapping them or offering them for sale, and especial instructions are given them about persons having young red birds, or young mocking birds in their possession. Persons having such birds in captivity can save money and the humiliation of being arraigned in court by immediately turning them loose. We have deputies all over the state, but of course they can not discover all such violations, and we will be very grateful to members of the Indiana Humane Society and Indiana Audobon Society, as well as to any other person who will call our attention to this class of violations, and upon receipt of such Information, immediate action will be taken. Please report violations to E. E. EARLE, Deputy Game Warden, Indianapolis.

Take a Sunshine Tablet For Thy Stomach’s Sake. There never was such a marvelous prescription for stomach distress and indigestion as Mi-o-na. No doctor ever wrote a better one; it’s doubtful if any doctor ever will. It’s so good that B. F. Fendig says money back if it doesn’t cure. A woman in Maine calls Mi-o-na the sunshine prescription because she has seen so many sour, miserable, aggravating dyspeptics turned into happy, cheerful, sweet human beings in a few days by taking Mi-o-na. The stomach is responsible for three-fourths of the nervousness and half the misery of the world. A woman can have a first-class stomach and yet be miserable if she has n husband who is a nervous dyspeptic. If you have indigestion, belching of gas, heaviness after eating, drowsy sensation after eating, sour stomach or any miserable stomach disturbance the prescription called Mi-o-na will put you right, and bring sunshine into your life in a week. A large box of Mi-o-na tablets cost .only 50 cents at B. F. Fendig’s and by leading druggists everywhere. They are small and easy to swallow. Yll HYOME| Cures catarrh or money Sack. Just breathe it in. Complete outfit, including inhaler sl. Extra bottles 50c. Druggists.

THERE WAS NO COMPULSION.

From Choice the Chickens Laid Steadily. A family who had struggled the best part of a lifetime in a povertystricken portion of the city suddenly came into the possession of er small Income, with the prospect in a few years of something more, says the Boston Post. They moved to a little place in the country, and tried mightily to impress their, neighbors with their importance. They talked constantly of what “people in our position” should and should not do. Some of their town acquaintances came to visit them during the summer, and one of the younger members of the family, a little girl of seven or eight, was showing them about the place. “What nice chickens!” exclaimed one of the guests when they reached the poultry yard. “They lay steadily too, I suppose?” “Yes,” returned the youthful hostess, who really knew nothing at all about it, “that is, they could, of course, but In our position they—they don’t have to.”

GREAT SUCCESS.

Freddy—Was the church fair a success? Ethel—Yes, Indeed. We found out what caused the Jones’ to get a divorce, all about the Retchy scandal and who that girl Is that Mrs. Brown’s husband was out with the other day and—Oh! yes. We cleared $11.69 for the heathen.

Reason for Its Presence.

A party of touring In Montreal visited the convent of Grey Nuns. They were conducted about the grounds and different departments, and at length reached the Insane ward. As they entered the main hall, in which a group of harmless invalids were seated, one of the party glanced up at a great clock on the .wall, and was surprised at the lateness of the hour. “Why,” she exclaimed, “is that clock right?” “You may be sure It is not right,” spoke up one of the patients, or it would never have been put in here.” —March Lippincott’s.

The Retort Courteous.

A Marblehead fisherman reports hearing, while out one day in the bay, this bit of repartee between Thomas Lawson and a young woman, evidently no respecter of persons. As Mr. Lawson, In a naphtha launch, passed the rowboat containing the girl she called out: “Hullo, Tom, how’s copper?” Instantly came the retort: “First rate. “How’s brass?”—Boston Herald.

Dramatic Criticisms.

An elderly woman who witnessed a production of "The Merchant of Venice” many years ago went again recently to see the story of Shylock played. Upon her return home she was asked how she liked it. “Wai,” said she, “Venice seemed to have spruced up some since the last time I saw it; but Shylock’s jest the same mean, ordinary thing he was forty years ago.”

His Idea of Gas.

An Irishman who was tortured with toothache walked into a dentist’s surgery one evening and inquired of the extractor of molars, “How much do yez charge for pullin’ out wan tooth?” ‘One shilling; five shillings with gas,” replied the expert on ivories. "Five shillin’s with gas!” gasped Pat. “Beggorrah,, then, I’ll come round again early in the mornin’ when it’ daylight.”—Tatler.

He Thought Again.

"I have always believed,” said Mr. Twaddles, reflectively, "that a man in marrying should choose his opposite.” “My dear,” said Mrs. Twaddles, "that is the greatest compliment you ever paid ole.” Mr. T. began to speak, but thought better of it He settled in hla chair and burled his nose la his paper.

Quiet Misunderstandings.

“Yes, the walls of our flat are so thin that my husband and I learned the deaf and dumb alphabet” t “What for?” “Bo we could do our quarreling without being overheard.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Social Note.

"I notice you never wear a watch with your evening clothes.”* “No; I never have both at the same time.*—Cornell Widow.

REMARKABLE OPERATION.

Surgeons Open Skull and Cut Out Nerve to Prevent Suicide. Physicians who are here attending the convention of the American Neurological Association saw a woman who had been saved from suicide by a daring and successful operation for ear neuralgia, the first of Its kind ever performed. Mts. A had been afflicted for several years with violent and piercing pains in the ear. At times they were so excruciating that she screamed in agony, and it was impossible to alleviate them appreciably with powerful drugs. Life was unbearable, and several times she threatened self-destruction. Seven physicians treated her in vain. She finally cam 6 under the care of Dr. Clark, who has paid special attention to all forms of nerve disease. He made an elaborate study and found that the malady was not face neuralgia, as had been supposed, but that it was due to the condition of the nerve connecting the geniculate ganglion with the brain. Dr. Clark decided it would be necessary to sever this filament, known as the pars intermedia, which lies between the seventh facial and eighth auditory nerves. Mrs. was informed that the operation was a daring one and that it involved risk. She said she would gladly undergo it, as life was not worth living and that if she died as a result of the operation, she would be better off than if she continued to live without finding relief. Dr. Clark consulted with Dr. Taylor, the well-known surgjeon, who performed the operation five times on deaid bodies before Mrs. A. was placed on the operating table. Her skull was trephined back of the ear and part of the bone was broken down. This gave an opening a quarter of an inch in diameter. An instrument was put down for three inches, the cerebellum was lifted and by means of a small electric light the nerves were revealed. A small glass drainage tube was put in place, as the use of a sponge or any such substance would have produced a dangerous pressure. By means of a small hook the nerve was raised and then severed. The surgeons could see plainly the nerve controlling respiration, the cisturbing of which would have caused death. The variation of an eighth of an inch through any cause would, in the opinion of Dr. Clark, have proved fatal. He spoke in highest terms of the skill of Dr. Taylor, who had operated in accordance with his diagnosis. The ganglion is now not deprived of nourishment, although it no longer connects with the brain. —New York Herald.

The Tale of a Goldfish.

Sam MacDonald, traveling salesman, is an original humorist. He has many original practical jokes to his credi. but his “Adventure of the Goldfish,’’ which took plao£ last night, must take precedence pver all former cutups. Sam picked a goldfish out cf a bow! in the Hotel Bingham, placed it in hi c pocket, and repaired to the bar of th-, hostelry. “Firewater!” he o r derec. When the little glass and the accompanying water were placed on the bar Sam picked the goldfish out o his pocket and slipped it in the glass The €sh revived and swam merrily around. • MacDonald paid for the drink, drank it and then picked up the goldfish, put it in his pocket and left the bar, followed by the amazed glances of the barkeeper and the other men in the place. To another hotel the joker repairedThere the feat was repeated. The goldfish, as before, revived in the ci,'d water. To eleven hostelries did Sam bring amazement, and, in some cases alarm. When he came back to the Bingham, Sam picked the goldfish out of his pocket and slipped it into the bowl, where it disported itseif ine.rily with its mates, none the worse for the remarkable tour of rum shop’.—Philadelphia Times.

Wonderful Underground Village.

Deep in the salt mines of the hamlet of Villiczka, in Austrain Poland, some 11 miles from Cracow, lies' a veritable underground village which dates 'way back to the days when slaves first opened these mines in 1334. It is rbusy subterranean human hive, all the busier in contrast with the sleepy hamlet above. In fact, all the 111% ol the settlement is concentrated below ground. The air is clean and the temperature that of a warm spring day.’ The center of the mine is situated in a sort of'court which forms a railway station. Here all the railway lines which intersect this huge mine meet. Men and women go above ground to do their martcetlng, and meet in this court on their return to gossip and compare their bargains. Children play abo >t in the shade of the grottos and sail boats in the gutters, running with salt water. These gutters were made hundreds of yeais ago to get rid of the moisture which run* from the upper floors of the mine, and lead down to the very bottom, forming a huge salt lake, the water of which Is gradually pumped off and distilled to obtain salt. So difficult and expensive is It to light up the whole mine, that visitors must make up a party of at least 30, and pay various sums according to lheii number. No less than 260 steps Rad down to the second floor of the mine jn't over tho salt lake, and it Is ther« that the chape’ of St. Anthony st* ids —Leslie’s Weekly;

A TREASURE SHIP.

How the Centurion Captured a GoldLaden Spanish Vessel. Of the many Incidents of Anson's great voyage round the world, in the middle of the eighteenth century, none has made a greater impression on the popular m'.’il than the capture of the great ‘treasu; e ship Nuestra Senora de CabadongA, cn April*2o, 1743. 1.1 the the first place, the value of the pr’zj was enormous; in the second, the duel between cat Centurion an 1 treasure ship ,was a fine single-ship action; and in the third place, the victory came at a time when Anson’s fortunes seemed to be at a low ebb, when one disaster after another had reduced his squadron to one ship, and when sickness had reduced his gun's crews to two men each. The Nuestra Senora de Cabadonga, or as it is also called, de Covadonga, was a treasure ship from Manila, commanded by Don Geronimo Montero, and laden with specie and merchandise. She was sighted at sunrise from the masthead of the Centurion, and Master Richard Walter, Anson’s chaplain and historian, tells us that “a general joy spread through the whole ship.’’ Galleons nearly always cruised In couples, and it was supposed another must be near. The Centurion at once stood toward the Spaniard, and before 8 o’clock her officers could see the enemy from the deck. The firing of a gun by the galleon was taken by Anson’s men to be a consort to make haste and rejoin, and “to amuse the Dons” the Centurion herself fired a gun to leeward. But Don Geronimo Montero had no consort, nor did he underrate the prowess of his opponent. The Spaniards knew they were face to face with Anson and <he Centurion, and they were keen to fight. Throughout the forenoon the two ships crept closer and closer together, till by midday only a league separated them. Then the Nuestra Senora de Cabadonga brought to under topsails, with her head to the northward, and at the top-gallant masthead the standard of Spain was flying. Anson was not slow to accept the challenge, and he laid his plans with great foresight. Into the tops he sent 30 picked men, the best small arms marksmen in the ship. His broadside guns were manned only with two men each, and to them he gave instructions to do nothing but load their gun. The rest of the men were divided into gangs of 12, with orders to move up and down the battery for the sole purpose of running out and firing the guns as they were loaded. It was an unconventional way of fighting; continuous independent fire was the last thing the Spaniards expected, and it threw them into as much confusion as did the disaster which overtookeo them within a few minutes of the opening of the fight. A mass of mats and hammocks in the netting of the galleon caught fire, burning fiercely and blazing up nearly as high as the mizzen top. The two ships were practically within pistol shot, and 4t was probably, some gun wads from the Cen turion which started the blaze. To >OO thnrncph-pf? from the. danger was no light task, and it took the Spanis sea.ncii cline to cut the nettings away and tumble the flaming mass overboard, and in the meanwhile An son’s marksmen in the tops were subjecting the galleon’s upper decks to an incessant fusilade. Walter describes the effect as “prodigious havoc,” and adds that the marksmen succeeded in “killing or wounding every officer but one that appeared on the quarter deck, and wounding in particular the general of the galleon himself.” The fight raged in for two hours. Anson changing from round shout to grape in the second part of the engagement with deadly effect. The ships were so near that some of the Spanish officers were seen running about with much assiduity to prevent the desertion of their men from their quarters, but all their endeavors were in vain. After having as a last effort fired five or six guns “with more judgment than usual,’’ they yielded up the contest; and the galleon’s colors being burned off the ensign staff at the beginning of the engagement, she struck the standard at her main topgallant masthead. The Centurion did not escape undamaged; at the moment the galleon struck Anson was informed quietly that his ship was on Are near the powder room. He received the news with apparent emotion, and taking care not to alarm his people, gave the necessary orders for extinguishing the fire. The specie .in the Nuestra Senora de Cabadonga included 1,313,843 pieces ol eight, and 35,682 ounces of virgin silver, and the total value of the prize was assessed at £.113,000. And in this connection it is interesting to note that two other Spanish treasure ship! captured by English commanders bore names similar to that of Anson's prize There was the Nuestra Senora de) Rosarian, which Drake took, “and it it great booty,’’ from that most haughty of Spanish seamen, Don Pedro lo* Remedies, which was taken very richly laden by the Royal Family privates! off Cape St. Mary's three years aftei Anson’s great capture.—London Globe
