What is this nervous trouble with
which so many seem now to be afflicted?
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown

the English language. yet this word

used by our forefathers In times past -
So Il Is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass 1t of through
the system, causing nervous troubles,

A Spectacle to Reflect Upon.

The annual parade of the liquor deal
ers took place the other day. A great many
men who witnessed their parade last year
were not Oh hand to see this one, because.
they are in their graves. 1t was pity to
lose them, too, for many of them were
among the best customers that the liquor
dealers had. And it is inevitable that
multitude of patrons who applauded the
parade the other day won't be able to re-
peat the performance next year. because
they will be dead-wiped out by drink. We
should think that these reflections. which
unimpeachable statistics fully Justify, would
moderate the joy and satisfaction of the
most callous liquor dealer on parade. What
melancholy procession it would be could
all the victims of liquor in New York fol-
low behind the Line of carriages which con-
vey the dealers. 1t would shock the whole
community like marshalling the spectral
victims of plague. There would be miles
of it. if the drinker, alone turned out. but
with the blighted women and children of
drunkards added, the spectacle would be
something awful to contemplate.

At first none were admitted but those who
were known to be ''sOl d." Men were very
careful, at first. not to be seen entering the
place. and if they went there at all in day.
light it was by the back ways.
Now, most of the old time drunkards had
been reclaimed. and were again in prosper
GUS circumstances: and one knew, the vii
Iage painter had become leading member
OF the Methodist church, and was one of
the most popular men in the village. He
and an aged German blacksmith, another
one of the reclaimed. were the first men l
saw sneaking up the alley way to the little
dOggery. 1t was not long before they be-
came bold and threw open the front door to
all who wished to enter. Before the end
of six months three saloons were doing an
open business.
In the meantime. the village had become
very lively. the place had a boom. The
old justice of the peace had found it neces-
sary to establish an office down town in
order to accommodate his increased bust
ness. The council met and appointed
marshal to fill an Office that had been va
cant for five years; and the old Jail was
not overlooked in the general awakening.
The sheriff called on the blacksmith and
had him replace the bars in the window
that had been knocked out as 1 have al
ready stated; and it was not long be-
fore the path which lead to the door was
worn smooth and made plain again. The
painter mOrtgaged his home and invested
the money with the saloon keepers. The
old German blacksmith invested all his and
his sons earnings in good old lager beer. a
coffin for his wife and misery for his half
dozen little children. He was the first to
reopen the path to the Jail door. and drive
the bats from the pace which they had held
all to themselves for so long.
The blacksmith who repaired the Jail
window was shortly afterward caught in
his own trap, as it we've. for stealing hog
for the good of the cause. Icould mention
many more like instances but will only
speak of one more. A farmer l knew.
brought in load of wheat and after selling
it. spent the money in the saloons, and on
his way home that night he was waylain
by John BarleycOrn and Jack Frost and
robbed of his two legs for the good of the
cause. The last time | saw him he was
crawling along the street on his hands and
two leather covered stubbs.
Times were lively while the saloon days
lasted. and the last days were more lively
than the first. They had not run year when
the WOman's Crusade swept through the
land. The eXasperated wife of drunken

lage by throwing an apron full of brick
bats through the saloon windows. The
next night other women joined her in her
effective mode of carrying on the crusade
and inside of one week their work was ac-
complshed and when left there a year
later. they were still closed and the path to
the Jail was again OvergrOwn, and, no doubt,
is so to-day for it was an Iowa village.

SENSATIONAL uNWRITTEN HISTORY.

Arthur's life was attempted shortly after
the assassination of Garfield. A few days
after the President had received Guiteau's
fatal bullet, Cincinnati Enquirer reporter
called at the residence of John p. Jones,
where Arthur was domicled, and asked
for an interview. 1t was midnight, and
Mr.. Arthur had retired, but the scribe was
invited to a smoke and chat in the libra
ry by the bonanza king. They were scarce
ly seated when bullet, following sharp
report, whizzed through the journalists
hair and imbedded itself in the opposite
wall.
The editor was on his feet in a moment,
ready to pursue the villain, but the sena-
tor interposed.
"Do nothing of the kind" said Senator
Jones in an agitated whisper. MAKE no
alarm. That villain could not be caught
now, and no one must hear of his attempt
lest others should be led to initiate it,"
"What do you mean ~ asked the other
in surprise.
"Imean this That man thought he was
shooting at the Vice President of the
United States, who, by reckless newspa-
per publications, he has been led to believe
is indirectly responsible for Garfield's fate.
Mr., Arthur must never hear Of this, and
above all, the public must never hear of it.

our hands. If you publish this incident

secret" The incident never saw the light
of the public prints.
The authenticity of the foregoing is es-
tablished. The Washington correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Times heard the
occurrence narrated by the journalistic
participant, in Senator Jones's presence,

EVOLUTION OF THE SMALL BoY.-Of
all things to age boy the first in the line
of evolution is the suspender. The first
top boots are suggestive, but these can be
worn with the upper and lower covering
of boy joined by buttons. But suspend
ers are the American boys toga. When
he dons them he is kind Of incipient
man; burlesque, it is true, and half COM
ical. Did you eyer notice some of our
little Amish boys on the street? How old
and solemn they look. Why is it? Not
because they have long hair, broad hats,
long trousers, &C., but because in summer
time you can see their suspenders. Put
an Amish boy in knickerbockers, and he
looks like any other lad. But cross his
shoulders with suspenders and you have
the suggestiveness of age. Body and
breeches are the symbols of childhood.
The awful struggle of manhood is suggest
ed by suspenders. I am growing old now
and I do not like to see these pantaloon
supporters come too early. 1 never look

CHANCES IN BATTLE.-The battle of
Stones river was general engagement
and one in which some of the best fight
ing of the war was done by both sides.
In this battle the artillery fired 20,307
rounds of ammunition, as officially stated
by General Barnett, chief Of artillery, in
his report, which was an exhaustive one
in it's details, and gives the exact number
of rounds fired by each battery. The
weight of these 20,307 projectles was fully
225, 900 pounds. The infantry at the same
time is officially reported as having fired
over 100000 rounds, from SO to SO of an
inch in diameter, and may have included
some buck-and- ball. The weight of this
lead fired by the infantry exceeded $50. 900
pounds. Hence the combined weight of
the projectiles fired by the artillery and
infantry at tStone'sriver was 375, 900 pounds,
and fully equal to that of the 2,319 Confed-
crates killed or mortally wounded by the
same. General Rosecrans, in his official
report of this battle, goes into this curious
matter also, but in a somewhat different
direction, and states that "of Il, $50 Con-
federates struck by missiles, it is estimated
that 100000 rounds of artillery hit 1928

MODERN SUGAR MYTHs.-There is no
white sugar. tits not crystalline, but con-
glomerate; it is not sweet, and, if you put
it into hot water, a strange phenomenon
appears. The experiment is crucial with
modern sugar. In at least the vast major
ity of cases dirty, cloudy solution is the
result, bringing sometimes most unjust &C.
cusations of hapless servitors. AS used in
tea, coffee and other Opaque and deeply
colored mixtures, this abominable charac-
teristic of modern sugar of course escapes
observation. But let anybody try this
sugar in colorless solution, and if he does
not see soapy cloud diffuse itself he is
lucky man. The scientific person whose
aid has been called in to screw the last gram
of sugar, or so-called sugar, over the legal
amount out of the harmless beet, so as to
secure profit, best knows what obscene
means he takes to secure this obscene re-
suit. We only know the fact, and the fur
ther fact that of sugar taste in modern su-
gar there is about as much, let US say, as of
cheese taste in American cheese.-[Satur-
