ability Of the American people to repWchase

held abroad, and to export In addition $50 :
600 01o of gold, are splendid proofs OF the
financial greatness Of the country. The
causes of tins outflow of gold have been
widely discussed, but the general conclusion
seems to be that the gold has gone to Russia
Ihere Is always something ostentatlous IN
these Russian gold transactions. The
eminent German banker, Bleichroeder, in a
recent interview, asserts that the gold Will
soon return, for Russia must repay the
Dutch loans of 1870 and 1850, and is accumu-
iating gold for this purpose. In due time
tho gold must be paid out, and Will return to

worst is over. At all events, offerings at the
low prices have declined of late, and the out

THE MAN WITHOUT A STOMACH

May exist n museum freak, but most of US
recognize the stomach as necessary to life
and comfort. Most of us experience a little
trouble from this source occasionally, wrong
action ofthe stomach causing dyspepsia, ETC.,
and often the trouble extends, involving the
liver and bowels, whence we find biliousnesS
and constipation. We find also that the
bowelsand kidneys (nature's sewage system)
become clogged with efTete matter, from
which comes impure blood, boils, blotches,
pimples, scrofuia, ScrofulOuS swellings and
cancerous complaints. The BurGock Blood
Bitters taken at the beginning or at any later
stage arrests the trouble, restores the dis
ordered organ to activity, thereby removing
every veStige of disease. B. j. Il. is an absO-
lutely pure extract of roots and herbs, which
cannot injure even the most delicate consti-
tuition, and as q cure for dyspepsia, bilious

A Railway Mistake.

A man went to certain railway sta.
ton in New Jersey to buy ticket for q
small village named Morrow, where a sta.
ton had been opened only few days pre-.
viously.
"Does this train go to Morrow" asked
the man, coming up to the Office in great
hurry, and pointing to train on the track
with steam up and every indication of a
speedy departure.
mo; it goes today" replied the ticket
agent, curtly He thought the man was
"trying to be funny" as the saying goes.
"But," rejoined the man, who was in a
great hurry, docs it go to Morrow todayP
mo, it goes yesterday, the week after
next" said the agent sarcastically, now
sure that the inquirer was trying to make
game of him.
"You don't understand me-" cried the
man, getting very much excited as the en-.
CINE gave warning foot; IL want to go TO
Morrow"
"Well, them" said the agent sternly,
"why don't you go tomorrow, and not
come fooling around here today Step
aside, please, and let that lady approach
the window"
But, my dear sir" exclaimed the be-
wildered inquirer, ''it is important that ]
should be in Morrow today, and if the train
stops there, or if there is no train to Nor
row today
At this critical juncture, when there was
some danger that the mutual misunder-
standing would drive both men frantic, an
old official happened along and straight
ened out matters in less than a minute.
The agent apologized, the man got his
ticket. and the train started for Morrow
