This famous. remedy was discov-

intended as a scientific substitute
for quinine and is rapidly super.

Syrup may be prescribed in pref,

results, as it never leaves any un.
pleasant after-efects such, as full

and is free from its many evil ten~

THE LATEST ALLIANCE SCHEME.

A Birmingham special the En-
qulrer Sun, a few Gays since, gave
Information that the committee an.
pointed by the National Farmers
Alliance to perfect a plan by which
relief will be afforded to the cotton
producers of the countrY,h had sucs
ceeded in arranging with an Ea-
giish syndicate whereby as much.
as s3l pen bale would be advanced
on as much as +, and at the same
time Withholding from the market
! OF the crop, and thereby il meas.
ure regulate market values.
This statement has not been con.
troverted, and there is no reason
to doubt that i! such an arrange
ment has not been made, negotia-
tons to that end are being consid>
cred. The scheme at least, appears
practical, being virtually an elab>
Grafton of the system which has
long been in vogue, as there has
not been a time when farmers
could not procure advances on
their crop, with the privilege in
many cases OF holding their cotton
for a certain price. The alleged
arrangement with the English syn
dictate would therefore be only the
Plan elaborated and enlarged and
50 Tar as we can discern there is no
obstacle in the way of successfully
carrying it OUT These English
syndicates have ample means and
they want our cotton, They
would be at no risk in securing it
In this way. as the advance of S31
a bale would lie more than realized
at any time. as the price of cotton
it is not likely to go below niue
cents, and there are more proba>
bilities of this years gong above
ten cents. This plan would elimS |
mate the sub-treqsury scheme from
politics, and would present prae>
tical plan to be settled by business
methods. : Columbus Enquirer.

Old Judge Fernald, of Santa Barbara,

TO take the train for San Francisco, he
reached the rear steps of the last car
just as they were approached by a young

There is a vague notion abroad in the
minds of our people and in our literature
hat witchcraft follics in New England
came to an abrupt close in the Seven
teenth century. Such. however, is not
the case. The successor of the two Math-
ers in the Eighteenth century did not
hesitate to preach from the pulpit their
unwavering belief in 1.-The work of the
devil" Thus the Rev. Ebenezer Turell.
a graduate of Harvard. left at his death,
in 1913. a manuscript account of a case
of witchcraft. Speaking of d~ivination.
he says: Turn not the sieve, etc. to
know futurities. You only
crafty Satan and invite him into your
company to deceive you" Specially in
teresting is his notice of superstitious
practices current in New England. He
says:
'Tbe horseshoe is a vain thing and
mas no natural tendency to keep off
witches or evil spirits from the houses
or the vessels they are nailed TO. If
Satan should by such means defend you
from lesser dangers. it's TO make way for
greater ones and get fuller possession of
your hearts,! lis an evil thing to hang
witch papers on the neck for the cure Of
agues. to bind up the weapon instead of
the wound. and many things of the like
nature which some in the world are

Tattooed Algerians-

In Algeria every girl born OF native
parents is tattooed on her forehead be.
tween the eyebrows and just at the root
Of the nose with a cross formed Of sew,
eral straight lines Of small stars running
close together. These tattoo marks are
a dark blue color. Algerian women are
also considerably tattooed on the backs
of their hands, their forearms and chests,
as well as on their shoulders, their wrists
being especially adorned with drawings
representing bracelets and flowers strung
together. AS a rule, women are the OPP
orators, and it is principally on children
between the ages of z and 8 that they
have to exercise their art. They use
sometimes a needle, but more frequently
a Barbary fig tree thorn. They employ
kohl as a c~oloring substance. 1t is a
kind of fine powder made from sulphur
of anthony, which is also in great re-
quest by the Algerian women for the
purpose of face painting.-Chicago Her

No one who has any experience can
doubt that money is one of the great
practical forces Of organized society,
The poor boy who resolves to ''make
money" is not necessarily mercenary in
his spirit or low in his aims. To gain q
foothold by the ownership of property is
simply one step OF the road to success.
That gained, he has gained a great lever.
Every energetic, aspiring American boy
may rightly and naturally look forward
to the accumulation of property. But to
wish for money. to seek it, or to use it in
a selfish, base spirit, to make it in itself
the first and most important object of life,
is contemplate and degraded manhood.
Think about making money then; think
about it earnestly and with a fixed deter
mination to do it. but think quite as
seriously of other and higher things to
be done. -Country Gentleman.
