BEEcHAM's PILLS act like magic on a
weak stomach.
The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1889-12-13

"A singular circumstance recently
occurred at Biddeford, Me-, which re-
minds one of the days when people bar
tered in beads and wampum. Two men,
one o small, slender person and tho
other of proportions in the neighborhood
of 800 pounds, were employed by one OF
the women in that locality to dig grave
on her family lot. They workedrapidly,
and ere they were aware, the excavation
was so large and deep that the fat man
was unable to get out of the hole. A
machine was constructed, and afterQuite
struggle the big man was once more on
top. In payment for their services tho
woman short time after gave each of
the two mon five quarts Of gray beans
enough to keep them out Of the ground
for quite while IL II came to the worst.

HOW no USE MONEY.
Every Wasted Dollar is a New Link in the
Chain of Bondage.

The highest value of money is not its
value exchangeable for luxuries-for
houses, equipage, art, service, and so
forth. 1t is chiefly priced for the power
which It gives over others-for the old
potency, marked so long ago, which
makes the borrower servant to the
lender But its highest value-is to
free the borrower from bondage to the
lender. The highest value Of money is
in its power to purchase personal liberty
and independence. There are other
ways in which men gain emancipation
from personal servitude to other men,
but they are open to but few. A man
who has exceptionally fine talents in
literature, art or applied science OF any
kind may be free man: but the great
mass must purchase themselves with
money. BY this we do not mean free
dom from dependence upon our fellow
men. No man can escape that, and it is
one of the most beneficent of the fund
amental laws of nature that it can not be
done Mutual dependence is essential to
the development OF all the finer vir-
tues. But we do mean personal
servitude, the necessity of obeying an
individual master. Ordinarily this
may not be in itself hardship; but
emergencies do come, and come not in
frequently, when this servitude involves
the sacrifice of sacred rights and man
hood-often the sacrifice Of conscience.
Lack OF knowledge of the highest value
of money leads to very general sacri-
flee OF it's best use to inferior uses. Peo-
pie buy luxuries- better houses, living,
ETC., not knowing that they are selling
their liberties for present qualifications.
Ever young man ought to start out
with this one main object in life in
view, to win his freedom. 1t is an in
spiring struggle, and one in which the
high motive will lift him over many
hardships. He may win 1t as scholar
win it by the highest possible develop
ment Of his mental and moral powers
by any thing that gives him superiority
in any kind OF work. But in lieu OF
special talents, money will do it. Every
wasted dollar is new link in the chain
OF bondage. Interior.

Professor Garrick Mallery. of Wash

Professor Garrick Mallery, Of Wash
ington. has been looking into the grounds
for the belief that the American Indians
are the descendants of the lost tribes of
Israel. He finds there are no reasonable
g.ounds for such belief. although there
is certain similarity Of customs between
the Indians and the most ancient Israel
ties. But the principal reason why, in the
Judgment of Professor Mallery, tho In
dians cannot be descended from the lost
tribes is that these tribes were never lost
at all, but were scattered and absorbed
in other peoples.
