Three-fourths of our people are troub
led with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint
in some form or other, which by nature
of the disease has depressing influence
on the mind and body, preventing them
from thinking or acting clearly in any
matter of Importance. Indigestion,
coming up of food after eating, dyspep-
STA, sick headache, acidity of the stom-
ach or any arrangement of the stomach
or liver upon which the whole action of
our system depends1 are speedily and eff
fectually overcome by the use of Green s
August F7o,cer. The most stubborn cas-
es have yielded to its influence, as thous-
ands of letters received will testify
The immense sale of this medicine is an
other guarantee of its merits, lover a
million and half bottles sold last year,
So we ask will it pay you to suffer from
any of the above diseases when you can
have immediate relief in the August
Flocer. Three doses will prove its
worth. 1t is sold by all druggists and
general dealers in all parts of the world.

the Postnaster-Genefal, Mr.. Wun.
denberg; and all the array of Gov
ernment clerks and employees, with
the exceptions of Messrs. Alexan-
der, Emerson and Rowell, are hardly
to be called "stralght-laced," or to
be accused of missionary propensi-
ties. The same may correctly be
said of the Supreme Court Justices,
except Mr.. Judd, and of all the ISL
and judges and of the clerks of the
Courts. No more valuable work
could be done than that of Prof.
Alexander, of the Government Sur
vey Bureau. No more valuable
public work and no more generous
whole-souled charity, both in act
and in thought, can we'll be shown
them in the daily life and example
of such unpretending quiet men,
who hate to hear or see their own
names in print, as the missionary
sons of the reverend fathers Alex
ander, Wilcox, Parker and others,
whom l could easily name. These
are not narrow-souled, bigotcd, pha-
rasaical, grasping men, and every
man, woman and child who knows
them, knows that they are not.
A mean hypocrite is bad enough
per Sc; but his occasional presence
with set of people who in the main
are upright, sincere, and as worthy
of regard as our weak humanity Of
ten permits or deserves, ought not
to lead us to regard him as type.
He is admit, worthy of all con-
tempt; but not of contempt which
leads to loss of faith in great, high
spirited, honorable and true men
and women as were the original Pu-
ritans and their descendants of the
American missionaries in Hawaii.

DISCIPLINE,

Under the heading of "Discipline
on an American Man-of-war," an
English paper contains the follow
ing During recent cruise of the
United States man-of-war Michigan
a sailor, who is Chicago man, at
tempted to throw an exhausted quid
of tobacco over the rail into the wa
ter. His aim was bad, and the quid
fell on the deck. An officer observ-
ed it. He would not allow the sailor
to touch it, but ordered the entire
crew to rig up gun tackle. The
gun tackle is q hawser 81 inches
thick, and weighs $500 pounds.
Being seldom, if ever used, it was
slowed away in the hold and cover
ed up. TO get it on deck and rig it
up is long, hard task. But the
gun tackle was rieged up, and the
commanding officer attached to it a
silk thread. He made loop in the
thread, lassoed the quid of tobacco,
made it fast, all hands made long
pull and strong pull, and the quid
