Democrats are not going around
the country telling ell kinds of lying
stories on the opposition candidates;
We .re not making that kind of a fight.
We are not putting unprincipled men
out among the people who are most
easily influenced, to use all kinds Of
unlawful means to spread lies against
the opposition; it certainly does look
a. though the opposition was doing
just this thing. Beware of their smooth
stories and liberalCO hands; they are

Though 1t is well known that the transmits
sion of power by electricity in England has
made little progress as compared with the
enormous extent to which it has been de
veloped in this country, we are hardly pre-
pared to learn from so good an authority as
Professor Ayrton, that in the whole of Great
Britain there are hardly 100 electric motors at
work at the present time, IS compared with
600 at work in this country. 1t would be
difficult to prove, we think, that the much
abused English electric lighting act is entirely
responsible for this state OF backwardness,
and we are confirmed in this opinion ty the
very neat definition which Professor Ayrton
has given OF the difference of the term lin
ertia,r as looked at from the English and
American standpoints. As Professor Ayrton

Delicate Mechanism Dlsnrdered and Rig hted
The most delicate and intricate piece of
mechanism in the human structure is the
nerves. As the telegraphic wires trans
nit the electric force, SO do these sensa-
tion, the local point being the brain,
where sensation centres. Mental anxiety
weakens this mechanism, sudden shocks
paralyze it, but dyspepsia is its most OBJ :
durate foe. This foe is utterly defeated
by the irresistible tonic, Hostetter's Stom>
ach Bitters, and the cessation of disorder
in the stomach is reflected in brain and
nerves by restored tranquility, and tran
guilty of the nerves implies, in this in
stance, renewed vigor. A distinguished
medical authority says: The victim Of
nervous disquietude who finds chloral at
night and hromides by day necessities,
should know that cure must be sought
among agencies which strengthen the
nerves" and assuredly Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has proved to be the best o.
these. Malarial complaints, constipation
biliousness, inactivity of the kidneys ant
rheumatism often involve nervous tfou'
bles by sympathy, and all are eradicatet
by the Bitters.

1t is an ancient and sacred custom Of the
natives to eat these insects Tradition has it
that at the first appearance Of the locusts
Mohammed instructed his disciples not to
destroy them. But one day the great prophet
noticed on the wings of one of these insects
an inscription in Hebrew characters saying:
''We are the soldiers of God; we lay ninety
nine eggs. Whenever we shall lay one hun
dred the universe will have been devoured
by u.s. Horrifed at this sacrilege the prophet
straightway interviewed the Lord and re-
ceived the order that punishment of the
locusts the faithful should kill and eat them.
That the natives highly relish the dish ap-
pears from the saying: Next to the date
| the locust is the sweetest morsel.n The Koran
prohibits the flesh of animals not born, but
the Mohammedan doctors of law, as becomes
wise and dutiful guardians of their flocks
denied that locusts were fish, that as such ths
common people might eat them, while tht
men in holy order should deny themselve

Some Curious People Who Seek Advice

There are number Of eccentric individuals

ally very well dressed, who have made it a
practice for several years past to promenade
up and down in front of the building at Ger

look up at the windows as if jealous of the
occupant, all the while mumbling to them
selves ANY attempt to get information
from them they strongly resent, and the
mystery as to who they are or where they
hail from is as impenetrable rs any cavern of

these women present themselves, and there
