The Stomach Distils Acids.

These, if existent in a natural quantity, and
unvitlated by bile, play their partin the func-
tons of digestion and assimilation. But the
artificial acid resulting from the inability of
the stomach to convert food received by 1t
into sustenance, is the producer of fatuIence
and heartburn, which are the most harrassing
svmntOms of dyspepsia The best carmina
tive is HOstetters Stomach Btters. Far more
effective is it than carbonate of soda, mag
nesia or other alkaline salts These invari-
ably weaken the stomach without producing
permaI ent benefit. No man or woman chron.
ically dyspeptic, and consequently nervous,
can be in possession of the full measure of
vgor allowed by nature. Therefore, invigor-
ate and regulate the system and by so doing
protect it from malaria, rheumatism and
other serious malades. 4.l6t

So might chance, by some good hap,

The nymph has quite withdrawn them.

Sharp Hotel Clerks.

A hotel room clerk must not only
know every Dor in the house, v TO
the kind of furniture, lights, air, ETC.,
but he must be a quick, keen judge Of
human nature to know just where to as
sign a guest who has never visited the
house before. The skilled clerk rarely
makes a mistake, and in time becomes
such an adept that he knows when a
guest is going to complain 0 the first
apartment to which he is assigned and
acts accordingly, giving him one OF the
worst rooms in the house, and the sec
ond time one Of the best. The contrast
is SO great that the objector feels fiat
tered and always comes a second time.
There are few veteran hotel clerks who
have not run against the greatest object
or in the world, tho opera singer Cam
panini, who was never known to take
the first, second Oh third room to which
he was shown. That man invariably
wound up in tho worst room of tho lot
shown him.-St. Louis lobe-Democrat.

Extraordinary Canine Devotion.

The residence Of Enoch McMahan, an
old and highly esteemed farmer, near
Anderson, Ind, was burned. All the
family, except the old man, were away
at singing school at the time, and he
persisted in the flames, his half consumed
body being dragged from the burning
building with poles by the first persons
to arrive after the fire was discovered.
1t has been a question as to whether or
not the old man was murdered and the
house robbed and burned to conceal the
crime. Leastwise, when the neighbors
gathered they found Uncle Enoch's dog,
Mingo, bowling dismally about the
burning building, and from that day to
this the faithful animal has never left
the place. The house was never rebuilt,
and no one has since lived on the farm,
yet "Mingo" fingers about the ruins and
until recently slept in rain and snow.
For months kind hearted people carried
him food and water, and they built him
a comfortable house Oh the spot where
his master was burned, and like a hermit
he stays there day and night, respondent

Corp. Tanner Wins n Bet.

In the office of one of the prominent
an amusing story of Corp. Tanner an /
his two artificial legs. 1t seems that the
corporal is very fond of fine horses and
undertook to raise a few last year. He
had n particularly fine horse, a thor
oughbred, and he would let no one use
him but himself. One day while the
stableman was exercising him he acct
dentally stepped into a mud hole and
sprained a leg so badly that the doctor
advised having the horses hoof bathed
in hot water three times a day.
One day, when the gallant corporal
was giving the horse the customary bath,
a friend of his came along and told him
it was cruelty to animals to battle the
horses foot in such warm water, and
asked him how would he like it if he had
to put his foot in it. To which tho cor
poral replied that he would not mind it
at all. His friend, thinking he saw a
chance to win some money, bet him a
hundred dollars that he would not keep
his foot in the water for five minutes.
The bet was no sooner said than it was
accepted by the corporal, who not only
put his foot in it, but put his whole leg
in and kept it there for five minutes.
The friend paid the bet, but probably
has not to this day found out how it was
possible for the supposed victim to keeI
his foot in boiling water for five minutes

He Never Struck His Children.

II have never struck my two chill
dren," said q young American father the
other day, though l have often been
tempted strongly to it, and sometimes
would not have blamed any parent for
doing SO. But / was thrashed SO much
by my own father, a good enough man,
too, that ! always stood III fear Of him,
seldom told him the truth if l could help
it, and never conided in him. Often |
was whipped for errors had committed
with good intentions, and | remember
the wild spirit Of hatred that used to
come over me at such times, when,
smarting under the blows l felt / did not
deserve, l would get away by myself
and swear silent but bitter oaths that
would have opened the old gentleman's
eyes to his folly, perhaps, if he could
have heard them from SO young a child.
So / made a vow that l would never
beat my own children. And now l feel
sure that they do not stand in physical
fear of me, / am pretty certain they tell
me the truth, and | know they confide
in me as a friend. And though they do
not obey me nearly as implicitly as | did
my father, and make themselves much
more Of a nuisance to me than I was to
him, yet they don't regard me as a bully,
and that is something New York

Are Animals Superstitious?

Do animals see ghosts? OF there
are no ghosts, but that makes no differ
ence. Science and philosophy agree that
it is no at all improbable hat nothing
really exists and that nothing is, except
p~erturbations Of brain cells. Anything
that we may think we see may not, after
all, have any existence-at any rate, it
does not exist as we see it. Do animals
know about ghosts and do they think
they see them? In his latest book Sir
John Lubbock undertakes to tell how the
world appears to animals. but he doesn't
enter into the possibilities Of superstiticns
among dogs and horses, for instance.
Certainly, the world does not appear the
anne to the mi that it does to man; and
not quite the same to the dog or the horse,
since the dog and the horse do not laugh.
If we take the conclusions of science re-
specting the development of the intelli-
gence, we ought to be able to believe that
the more intelligent Of the lower animals
have superstitions that correspond in
some measure to those Of the least intel
ligent human beings.
That many animals reason, draw logical
differences beyond the operation Of in
stinct, is pretty well settled. When n
dog or a horse has exhausted all its ex-
perience in attempting to account for
certain phenomena, does it conclude that
the thing is supernatural or out Of the
order Of explicable phenomena? Novel
lists tell Us about the amazing fear of
dogs and horses ordinarily fearless, when
placed under conditions that excite the
fear Of superstitious persons. Are there
facts to warrant this? If dogs and horses
see ghosts they must be capable of the
simplest form Of religious emotion; that
is to say, the fear of the inexplicable,
which in the savage is iegarded by science
as the beginning Of religion. Dogs have
what In science passes for moral sense.
They are conscious of wrong doing and
practice self restraint. OF course it all
grows out Of the experience that the do
ing of certain things Is attended with
more pain than the momentary pleasure,
but this, science tells us, is the basis of
the moral sense. At all events, science
is bound TO admit the potentiality of
superstitions in animals. - Milwaukee

The CONGREGATION Smiled.

A story that goes back to the meetin'
house in Wrentham is II of a worthy
man named Habhakuk T., a resident of
the town and a faithful attendant upon
worship, who had been blessed with four
wives, one after another. Habbakuk
was rigidly orthodox, as his names seemed
to demand, and was always in his pew
on the Sabbath. He sat there in his con
spicuous pew with No. 4 by his side on
the first Sunday after their marriage. 1t
was a balmy June day, and the zephyrs
from the open window toyed playfully
with the brides white satin bonnet rib
bons and the groom's silken locks. There
was a stranger in the pulpit who had
exchanged for the day with the venerable
Mr.. F., the pastor of the church. After
reading a few Scripture passages the
stranger proceeded to read notice which
he had found in the Bible, and which
was az follows:
MIR. Habbakuk P desires the pray
ers of the congregation that the death Of
spiritual good"
Then, when the congregation was be-
tween stupefaction and explosion, the
clergyman went on with the services at
a rapid rate. He was at a loss to know
why the congregation seemed to be
throughout the remainder of the service
on the point Of laughter, but at dinner
Mrs. F, the pastors wife, explained
to him hat Habbakuk P sat three
rows from the front in the broad aisle
with his brand new wife, and he had
read an old notice that MIR. F had
probably been using for a book mark
ever since the death of wife No. 3.-Bos-
