The common lot is one of sorrow say—at least the pessimists, they who look at the worst side. Certainly what would otherwise be a blight existence, is often shadowed by some ailment that overhangs it iii ie a i all, obscuring perpetually the radiance that else would light the path. Such a i ailment, anda very common oue, is nervoumess, or in other words,weakness of ih ) nervous system, a condition only irrtmodiM'D where inefficient or improper means are ta .ea to relieve it. T1 e vblcui.cnt exp rience of nervous people who have persistently used Hostetter s Stomach Bitters is that it conquers ' entirely super-sensitiveness of the nerves e. • well as diseases—so called which are invited and sustamed by their chronic weakness. As the norms gain stamina from the groat tonic the trouble disappears. Use the Hillers hr ma aria, rheumatism, biliousness and kidney troubles. How He Beat the Government.

On board an ocean steamer a gentleman wished to help a lady, who was of an inquiring mind, to comprehend the principle of the steam engine. This is how he cleared away all difficulties: “Why, you see. ma'am,” quoth he, “it’s just one thing goes up, and then another thing comes down, and then they let the smoke on, which makes the wheels go round. That’s what they call the hydraulic principle. It’s quite simple when you know it.” “Law me, I never understood it before! But then, I never lad it properly explained," replied the fair listener.

About the middle of the car was a lady and a boy about 5 years of age, evidently mother and son, The train had scarcely moved out of the depot before the boy began to “cut up.” running up and down the aisle and making remarks to passengers. The mother called to him several times and finally said: "James, I shall certainly tell your father. ’’ “How can you when he’s run away and ■ nobody knows where ho is?” replied tho boy. This settled tho mother for a time, but when the boy sought to raise a window she leaned forward and said: “James, I shall surely punish you!” “If you do I’ll tell that a policeman ar- ; rested grandpa." he retorted. She let him alone for another interval, but as he begun to worry a bird in a cage, which one of the pas-ongers was transporting, she stonily sail; “James, come hero!” “Not now.” “Right off! You are a bad boy, and I 1 shan’t let vou come with me again." “Yes, you will.” “No, 1 won’t." “Then I’ll tell that the reason papa ran away is because Mr. Davis came to our house so much!" This prostrated the mother, and she began to read, and had nothing further to say, w hile the boy roamed up and down the car unchecked until he finally fell asleep on a vacant seat. He had oue more shot in reserve, however. As he lay down he called out: “Sny, mamma, wake mo up when we get to grandma's. I want to he ir her swear and take on because papa turned her out doon last summor'" Some Foolish People Allow a cough to run until it geta beyond tho reach of niefiioino. They often say.
