A SPELL of SScEneS

A spell Of sickness
is due when the systems weakened,
and the blood impure. It's what
you must expect.
But it's what you must prevent,
too. And DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery prevents as well as
cures. 1t invigorates the liver and
kidneys, purifes and enriches the
blood, sharpens the appetite, i'm
proves digestion, and restores health
and strength. For Dyspepsia,
oliver Complaint" and every form
of Scrofulous, Skin, or Scalp Dis
eases, as Salt-rheum, letter, Fry
sipelas, or any blood-taint, it's an
unequaled remedy.
It's not like the sarsaparillas,
which claim to be good for the
blood in March, April and May.
At all seasons alike, and in all cases,
the "Discovery" alone is guGrGn-
teed. IF it doesn't benefit or cure,
you have your money back.
It's the cheapest blood-purifer, no
matter how many doses are offered
for a dollar, for you pay only fol
the good you get. But it's the
best, or it couldn't be sold so.

To Preserve the Edelweiss.

The government Of the Tyrol has passed
q bill imposing heavy fines on persons who
may be caught while selling samples of
the beautiful and rare Alpine flower called
edelweiss, which has been pulled up by the
roots on the mountains to such an extent
chat there is danger of the plant becoming
extinct. The people complain that tour
SITS are rapidly killing out that and other
Alpine plants, and persons bent on money
making have helped on the destruction by
gathering the plants for travellers.

Was told delightful story of one re-

troops took a procuent part. The en-
envy was under cu9er not fr off, but
.he firing line Of blacks were blazing
away at him as list as they could open
and close their rifles. In vain their of
icers tried to stop them. The waste Of
ammunition threatened to become ex-
tremely serious. aud their commanding
officer, a Scotchman who had seen many
lights with them, losing his temper, rode
up and down behind the line cursing
them with every abusive epithet in a
fairly adequate vocabulary of Arabic in
receive, but entirely without effect. At
last one of them happened to turn and
discovered the beloved hey in evidently
a very excited state of mind. He at
once rose, ran back to him, and patting
him reassuringly on the boot he said:
Don't be frightened, hey. It's all
right. We're here. Well take care of
you'll"
The Scotch hey, however, was equal
to the occasion. He rode out through
the line, and walked his horse up and
down in front Of the rifles. "Now," he
said. "if You must fire, fire at me-!
After this it is not surprising to read in
dispatches that this officer has twice re

Queer "COnscience Money" Returners.
Every now and then the papers contain
reports of conscience money" having
been returned In most cases the govern
ment is the gamer, for it is an ind1Sputable
fact that many persons who would scorn
to do an injustice to fellow man have no
hesitation in defrauding the state. Stu
dents of social problems have frequently
contended that the people who send in
conscience money" are mOnomaniacs.
This is perhaps an extreme view, but it
seems to hold good in the case of an aged
couple named LetouX, who live in Leval-
-Perret, France. Periodically they send
to President CarnOt sums of money vary
ing from 800 TO $500, in the imaginary be-
lief that they are indebted TO the state in
regard to building material purchased by
them from the historical Chateau de Blois
Needless to say that NJ. Carnot makes
a point of returning these remittances
through the medium of NJ. Guilhen, tine
local commissary of police, who, however,
experiences some difficulty in carrying out
his Instructions On calling at the domi-
ellie of the i4etouN with the last install
ment, he found the door locked and had
to force an entrance The couple refused
to speak word to the representative of
the law, who accordingly placed the bank
notes on the mantelshelf and withdrew.
NJ and Nine LetouX also send occasional
remittances to the department of public
estates, which is also obliged to use force
! IN order to restore the money.

And that told them all they desired to
know. So far as they had known, the
only corners to the settlement within the
last few days had been a young woman
and an older one-mother and daughter,
they believed-and it had been rumored
that they were to occupy alone the cot
tage which now displayed the offensive
sign. No man had thus far been seen
about the cottage. 1t was now supposed
that the new doctor had arrived during
the night and at once thrust out his
sign. The women were probably his
mother and sister. Further than this
the prominent citizens neither knew nor
cared. A new doctor was there.
''An' the new doctor must go!" said
Fosdick.
And the others agreed with him. The
women could stay or go, as they might
elect. Ike Fosdick was for turning the
doctor out headlong and thrusting him
from the settlement with scanty cere-
mOny. But the others were a trifle
more conservative. 1t would be well to
learn DIR. Harry's wishes in the matter.

England has just been experiencing
the kind of snow storm that the 'old-
est resident" in New England loves to
dwell upon as among the incidents of his
boyhood. Such storms in England, how
ever, are usually attended with more
damage than they are with us here.
The cattle and sheep are without shelter,
and the cottages of the farmers are not
as tight as thew might be. The result is
suffering and even loss of life. A snow
storm is an expensive business for Eng
lishmen.

Specialists Of the department of ag-
riculture are reported to be much con-
ccrned over the continued spread of the
disease anong the peach trees known
as the 'yellows." The limited supply
of peaches this year and their generally
inferior quality, except from few dis
Iricts into which the disease has not
yet spread, are attributed almost en-
tirely TO this cause. Prof. Edwin F..
Smith, of the agricultural department,
who has given much attention to this
subject, reports that the disease, which
was originally confined to small dis
trict on the Atlantic coast, has now
spread 50 as to include the Delaware
and Chesapeake regions and the PENN
sula of Maryland. 1t is abundantly
established that it is contagious. 1t
has extended during the present
year as far south as southern Virginia
and probably as far west as Arkansas
and northeastern Texas. Peach grow
ers are earnestly advised to stamp out
the disease by the destruction of the
trees in which it appears Immediately
on it's first manifestation, and are
warned against the importation OF
trees from the infected districts. The
primary and peculiar symptoms OF
peach yellows are only two. The red
spotting and abnormally early maturity
of the fruit, and the premature germi
nation of ordinary winter buds, or OF
obscure buds buried in the bark of the
trunk and limbs.

/Americnn Architecture.

A writer in Harper's Weekly mem
tions the interesting fact that one of
the early architects of our national cap
itol used a bundle Of stalks of corn in
the ear as column in his designs for
that edifice. A correspondent calls at
tention TO another instance of a distinct
lively American design in our early
architecture, which is TO be found in the
use by Thomas jefferson of tobacco
leaves as a substitute for the leaves of
the acanthus in the capitals of the col
umns that support the noble porch Of
the rotunda of the University of Vir-
pinia- 1t was Characteristic of his vig-
orous, original and intensely American
mind that he should substitute for the
conventional acanthus leaves, which
had decorated the capitals of Corinthian
columns since the days of Hellenic
architecture, the leaves of the plant 70
which, in his time, Virginia owed the
greater part of her wealth. The archi-
lecture of the University of Virginia
was under his personal supervision.
The plans were drawn Ia many in
stances by his own hand, and showed
the great attention to details that
marked all his efforts. The effect of his
bold experiment is not unpleasing; and
20 this day the columns of the porch
facing the beautiful vista of 1urf anc
forest between the white arcades OF
either side, bear witness to the patriot
ism of its builder.
