In these days life insurance of all kinds has
become so common that the poorest and

idea of policy being a forerunner of i'll
luck Just as the modern Jack Tar laughs at
the idea of misfortune following a voyage

now has insurance brought to his own door,
but its solicitors first and its collectors after
ward follow him to his factory and to his
shop, ready to insure not only himself, but
his wife, his babe in the cradle, his girls in
short clothes, his boys in knickerbockers and

Helping the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only com
mendable in a general point of view, but
is judicious and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf OF the right side of
the body, Just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. an anti bilious medicine of in,
comparable efficacy Inaction of the
liver is accompanied by constipation, sick
headache furred tongue, nausea, occa-
sional vertigo, an unpleasant breath, yel>
lowness of the skin and ball of the eye.
The author of these symptoms, liver
complaint, routed by the bitlers is accom-
panied by them in its flight. Fever and
ague, which always involve the liver,
dyspepsia, rheumatism, debility and kid
nev troubles are all maladies to the early
relief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fits
and starts, but systematically, that its
full effects may result in perfect resto-
ration of health.

STICK TO II ALWAYS.

When once he has chosen. his name, how
ever, be it his own by right of baptism, or q
fictitious choice, he should stick to it always
and forever. Some brains may be weghty
enough to make more than one name i'm
mortal, but the trouble is generally of an
other kind. Writers who have habitually
used more than one name have generally ac-
knowledged their error after Il time, and
have devoted themselves TO one signature,
dropping all others. A well known Wash
ingtOn newspaper correspondent year or
more ago was writing to The Cleveland
Leader a series of widely quoted letters,
which he was signing 'Carp;' another series
of letters he was signing "F. G. G. ! ard a
series of articles for a newspaper syndicate
he was signing with his full name, Frank
G. Carpenter" One day it dawned upon him
he was doing the work of three men, making
reputation for three writers, and getting
the credit for only one-third of the work he
did From that day ON he has wisely signed
everything he has written with his real name
in full.
Sometimes there is an advantage to news
paper writer in signing his articles simply
with his last name. His signature then has
to the uninitiated the appearance of "A good
pseudonym while to those who are better
informed it recalls the personality of the
writer. Howard" pursues this plan.
"Carleton" and "Perley," two other well
known newspaper writers, chose their middle
names Gath modified his initials into
signature that his letters have made famous.
In each case there is something about the
signature that suggests the writer himself,
and he gets the advantage of a pseudonym,
and of his own signature at the same tme-
