No Wreck ASHORE

Was ever more hopelessly stranded than
wrecked constitution, whether its disaster be the
product of some formidable malady, or that slow,
premature decay that seems to fasten upon SONIC
constitutions without apparent adequate cause,
An excellent means OF checking this gradual
drain OF the sources of vitality is the bene6cent
tonic Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which pro-
notes digestion, enriches the blood and gives
frame. Constipation, feebleness of the kidneys
and bladder fever and ague and rheumatism, are
among the bodily ailments which it remedies
promptly and thoroughly. Persistence in its use
is well merited by 1t.
If you want advice, get 1t from the man OF
woman who is nearest your own age.

There was very painful scene when
the Empress OF Austria visited the
royal palace at Naples the other day.
She walked up and down the rooms,
which she had last seen thirty years
ago, when her sister was Queen OF
Naples, evidently quite overcome by
her recollections, and presently went
into corner to look at picture which
had attracted her attention, and which
to the immense dismay OF her suite,
turned out to be u portrait OF the
Crown Prince Rudolph, whose tragic
death has quito upset his mothers
mind, his name being never mentioned
in her presence. The empress had ;
violent fit OF Mysteries on suddenly see
ing her sons picture, and presently left
the palace to return to her yacht in {
state of distraction, crying, sobbinl
and calculating in most lamentablt
manner. London World.

a Bit of Financial History.

A correspondent writes; In 1911
the house of Barring Brothers & CO.
were indebted to Stephen Girard-tho
founder ofGirard college-in the sum
OF nearly 5000, 900 sterling. Stephen
Simpson, in his biography of Girard,
writes. "The state OF the English
currency at this period, the critica
situation OF the bank of England,
and the pivot on which the house Of
Barring Brothers & Co. continued to
vibrate from day to day, bending to
every blast, which shook the credit OF
the Kingdom, all conspired to place the
i'm mense property of Girard at the
mercy of the fluctuating stock mar.
ket of London. Had the house ofBar.
ings failed Griard never could have
established his bank, and how neal
they came to bankruptcy is shown
! by the fact that for several years the
house of Barings was unable to remit
his funds according to his instruc
lions to be invested in American
stacks, the funded debt and the bank
OF the United States.
