"What is August Flower for ~
AS easily answered as asked. 1t is
for Dyspepsia. 1t is special rem
edy for the Stomach and Liver
Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has al
honored place in every town and
country store, possesses one eff the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. 1t does one thing,
and does it right. Iteures dyspepsia9

CLEARING TIE CELLAR-In no part Of

cleaning be thoroughly done as in the

should be sighted. Begin with the fur
mace. Have the registers closed in every
room. Remove all the cindcrs and
ashes and clean out all the fues and
pipes. Many housckecpers have the
pipes removed, but the smoke pipe is
really the only one that it is necessary to
take down. This pipe is liable to rust,
because of the moisture it gathers from
the chimney; nevertheless, if there be
no way of heating and drying the house
during cold, damp period in summer
except by building o fire in the furnace,
it would be cheaper to renew this smoke
pipe every few years than run the risk
of having the family made ill from re-
cclvjng q chill While the men are in the
house to clean the furnac" it would be
economy to have them clean the tlucs in
the range and also the chimncys. Open
the cellar windows, to bring everything :
into the light. Have the coal bins
cleaned. Brush everything free from
dust. Now sweep the ceiling and walls
as well as the floor Brush the walls
once more. Wash the windows and any
closets, shelves or tables there may be
in the cellar. Now have the walls
Whltc-Washed. Before the various ar
tlclcs stored in the cellar are put back
in place, brush them again. Sweep the
floor once more

the Empress wore in her hair the ia
nous jewelcd hat buckle Of Napoleon

OUR TIMBER RESOURCES.
How Long Will tho Supply Meet the
Demand of this Country?

Statistics gathered from Trustworthy
sources by the Puget Sound Lumbcrman
tell us that the Emitted States has about
1900, 900, 900, 600 feet, board measure, of
standing lumber, with a present annual
consumption of about 100000 feet
board measurement. This means, says
the Engineering News. an apparent sup
ply for 1920 years; but the rapidly in,
crcasing demand for timber may easily
reduce this period to century, and pos,
slbly exhaust it in sevcnty-five years. 1t
is true that Alaska is credited, on very
little information, with $4,000, 900, coo
feet, board measurement, of standing
lumber, and British Columbia with
LOCO, 0o0 000,OQ0 feet more; but these
are certainly not to b. assumed as home
supplies. The Lumbcrman gives the
following figures for the aggregate Of
standing timber in the United States:

was protracted one and not until 10:
30 last night did the body ADJOURN
Most of the day was devoted to the dis
cussion of the printing office contro-
versy. During the evening a number
of amendments to the bill were adopted,
most of them being for public build
ings. In appealing to Mr.. Hawley not
to press an amendment which he pre-
posed making to increase the appro-
prlation Of the Soldiers Home in Cal
ifornia Mr.. German said that as sure
as the sun would rise on the 1st day of
July next there would be deficiency
of from thirteen to fifteen millions: no
man can tell how much. He, there
fore, submitted that 1t was time to halt
and to say that the matter..of pensions
should terminate at some point shor,
o. absolute bankruptcy of the treasury.
He hoped that the Senator from Con.
necticut would not force this addition
al appropriation when there was 40
necessity for it. Mr.. Hawley declared
that he would force it with all his pow
er. He hoped that the new admins
tration would give the whole pension
matter thorough inspection, and if
there should be some pension frauds
found out he would not be at all sur
prised.

The court which had been investi-
eating the alleged insanity of Howard
J. Schneider, who murdered his wife
and brother-in-law in Washington, has
adjudged him sane, and he has been re.
sentenced todeath, to be hanged on the
18th of March. The investigation has
recalled many of the incidents of the
Guiteau trial. The judge who presided
Judge Cox was the same who tried
Guiteau, the leading government expert
who testified that Schneider was simply
feigning insanity was the same who
passed upon the sanity of Guiteau, and
surrounding circumstances established
quite a similarity between the two
cases.

Justice Jackson Confirmed.

The Senate on Saturday afternoon. without
a word of opposition, confirmed the nomina-
ton of Judge Howell E. Jackson to be an as
sociate justice of the Supreme Court. The
Senate went into executive session at 1 o'clock
and ten minutes later the nomination had been
confirmed and the doors were again opened
Ii has been seemed as though the opposition
but desired to postpone confirmation unIil
the chance for the appointment of circuit
judge by the President had passed. Should
Mr.. Harrison now send in a name, with only
eleven days of the session left, it is probable
some resistance would be encountered by the
person appointed, even though he were dem
ocra.
