Learning Chinese.

1t is a curious fact that all words in
the Chinese language are only one syl-
liable long. For that reason it is diff
cult to tell by his talk when China
man is intoxicated. His tongue doesn't
get tangled up among polysyllables as
ours-that is 20 say, yours does. You
can't trip him up on INA chen'rter-
gencer" as you can Washington Con-
gresham.
There are four hundred and sixty-five
sounds in the Chinese language, and if
you want to hear them all at once, just
YOU try to get your shirt oht of a
Chinese laundry without producing q
check for it.
If you wish to learn to read Chinese.
please remember that the written Ian
guage contains about eighty thousand
pictures. each picture representing a
thing or idea. A picture of dude, for
instance, represents thing. Nothing
on earth. however, could represent a
dudes idea. because he never had one.
Now in order to read Chinese under
standingly. il is necessary to commit
these eighty thousand pictures to MEM
ory. This is the work of a life time,
and by the time you have learned them
all your mind will be such picture
gallery that there will be room for no
other impressions, and you will have to
hang placard on the outside, Stand
ing room only"
Don't try to read Chinese unless you
are a good Judge of pictures. and have
a great deal of idle time on your hands

Prospect for More Coal.

Mr. M. e. Arnold, Of Henderson, Is
in the city for the purpose OF organ.
ling coal company. He has leased
q tract of coal land for 100 years ana
he proposes to organize company
which will be sufficient to compete
with other large coal companies. lie
claims his coal in Henderson ana
Smith counties, to be equal to the Nc
Alister coal, and it will probably be
subiec.e to test, and if the coal is as
represented there will be no trouble
in forming company. Coal is what
is needed. Coal is what Dallas wants.
II has been demonstrated that the
present source of supply is inadequate
and it would be a grand thing Tor
Dallas if such coal as is represented,
could be secured, backed by money
sufficient to handle it in quantities
that would relieve the pressing want.

INDIGESTION.

Many suffer from this form of stomach
troubles who have little idea Of the
pleasures of life Of perfect health.
Browns Iron Bitters acts as corrective
of the causes which produce indigestion.
Having removed the cause and cured
the disease continued Use of the remedy
for short time will make the sufferer to
feel like new person. Were these three
diseases the only ones which Browns
Iron Bittters will cure it would indeed
be boon to the public, but so great has
been the knowledge and skill employed
in the combination and manufacture of
this valuable remedy that its curative
properties extend to all diseases of the
stomach, liver, and kidneys.

$4,000 i'm Two Days.

During the past two days the record
shows that there have been real estate
transfers in Dallas to the amount OF
100000. While real estate is above
the hirh-water mark, and good deal
is said about the extravagant prices
asked. IL goes off all the same Mt I'M
precedented prices. While 1t is an
acknowledged fact that real estate Is
beyond the reach of men in moderate
circumstances, sales of both lots at
small figures and lots at large hgures
are made. There is no particular
boom. but there is demand for real
estate that is very gratifying. "A
transfer of $4,000, in perhaps thirty
pieces. is something more than straw
That indicates which way the wind
blows. Real estate in Dallas all along
has been steadily changing hands, and
there has been but little said about II,
and in fact but little is said now; and
if the newspapers did not keep the
public posted very little would be
Known At all. There is steady de-
mand for and constant effort 10 pur-
chase real estate which is not observed
nv the ordinary citizen, and it is safe
TO say that the future is big with ex-
pectations.

II is necessary to go into camp ana

penses, in the same manner as is done
by other cities for their companies
This is worthy ambition, and the
boys are so excellent in drill that they

DYSPEPSIA.

Many people who are irritable, nervous
and easily disturbed, whose physical and
mental conditions are much disordered,
naturally possess the pleasantest and
most agreeable manners and disposition.
The cause of their irritation and dis
turbed condition of their organization is
their sufierings from the horrors of dys-
pepsia. The stomach has been over
worked and refuses to do its duty. They
are unable to take much food and what
they do take fails to assimilate, and heart
burn and belching indicate their condi-
ton. Nothing will give these sufferers
such speedy and sure relief as Browns
Iron Bitters. Il furnishes just the aid
needed to assimilate the food and gives
strength to the stomach to perform its
work, cures heartburn and belching, gives
renewed appetite and cures dyspepsia.
Then instead of !oosing flesh daily the
patient rapidly regains what has been
lost and grows healthy and strong.

BILIOUSNESS.

Every third personyou meet is troubled
more or less with biliousness, and don't
know how to get rid Of it. The causes
are easily recorded A lack of sufficient
exercise, eating too much by persons of
sedentary habits, indulgence in too rich
food where an excessive quantity is not
taken, sluggish torpid liver where the
blood does not do its duty, and bile is
allowed to accumulate; these cause the
whites of the eyes to turn yellow, the skin
to look thick and coarse, and the COM
plexion yellow or dark. These are sure
indications of biliousness. Relief can be
had and should be had at once. Browns
Iron Bitters is the remedy. 1t acts di-
rectly upon the blood, ceanses and puri-
fes it, and sends it on its journey through
the channels of the liver. stirring up its
action, giving to il activity and vigor,
and clearing out the bile. 1t will remove
the yellow tinge from the eyes and the
complexion leaving the latter fresh and
clear. 1t will open the pores ofthe skin
and remove the thick cloudy appearance.
Browns Iron Bitters cures biliousness.
