The Nawab of Rampur.

For at least one thing, we give direct
praise to our young and opulent friend
the Nawab, who has just left US. He
was faithful to his religion while
among US, and he fulfilled his religious
obligations like a true believer. As
soon as he came here he purified bis
quarters, gave orders that the drawer
mats for himself and suite should be
put IN place, and engaged in his de.
votions. He prayed five times a dav
with his face toward Mecca, though he
heard not the call of the muezzin from
the minaret; he tasted in season
though he was in foreign parts; bis
aoIullons were never neglected he il
model MOhammedan. In the obser.
vance OF all the prescribed customs, he
was exact while in New York. He
touched not wine or other inebriatin0
liquor; he turned away his ewes from
feminine vanity, and even rebuked an
unworthy member of his suite for smil.
ing at pretty damsel; upon one oc.
caslon he tasted of food that had not
been prepared by his own cook, but
only after the dish had been approved
by that cook. He refrained from folly.
lie gave aims to those beggars who
are here denOminated walters. He
played not games of chance, which are
forbidden by the Prophet and played
only games of skill, which are permis.
sible under Koranic law.
What an example he gave lots of
men and women who pretend to be
christians! who are counterfeit Chris.
tians, hypocrtes, wolves in sheep's
clothing, canting christians. He is not
hypocrite he believes in his religion.
puts it in practice, and is not ashamed
Of it. Under his religion, hypocrites
are doomed forever to the lowest place
in hell.-NelO York Sun.

Why silver should be called the Door
mans money is a thing past finding
out. II labor is not entitled to the
best money, what isP The poor man
certainly does not want kind of
money that grows poorer every day.
Il is an insult to his condition. as
well as to his intelligence, to assume
that he does want it. His need is for
money that has full and steady pur.
chasing power, so that he may not be
cheated with the juggle of iuctuatins
prices. When the crash comes poor or
cheap money is found in the hands of
the laboring man. The rich man gets
rid of such coin. But the poor man
must take it, and in his hands is last

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.
Caused by Carelessness.

The majority of people die sooner than
they should. Evidence of this fact is grow
ing daily. Waring says: disease is No. a
consequence of life; it is due to unnatut;i
conditions of living neglect, abuse, wait 4
DR.. Stephen Smith, on The same ulioet,
Man is born to health and long life dis
ease is unnatural, death, except from cid
age, is accidental, and 10th are preventahle
by human agencies" This is almost invaIi-
ably true Of death resulting from heaIt Gi,-
ease. Careless over exertion. intenpelat,
use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or utl el
stimulants are generally the causes of THIS
difficulty, and indifference to its progress re-
suits in sudden death, or long sickness end
ing in death. ljy the newspapers it can lie
seen that many prominent and hundreds OF
persons in private life die from heart dis
ease every day.
If you have any of the following synip-
TOMS shortness of breath, palpitation, irr, e
ular pulse, fainting and smothering spells
pain in shoulder, side, or arm, swollen
ankles, etc, begin treatment Immediately for
heart disease. IfyOu delay, the consequences
may be serious.
For over 20 years DR. Franklin Miles
the eminent specialist, has made profound
study of heart disease, its causes and cure,
and many of the leading discoveries in that
direction are due to him. His New Heart
Cure is absolutely the only reliable remedy
for the cure of heart disease, as is prov, d
by thousands of testimonials from grateful
persons who have used it.
James A. Pain, editor of the Cory, Pa, Lead,1.
states: "After an apparent recovery from three
months Of Ia grippe, ] fell on the street uncun.
scious from heart disease. In one month frt nj
that time was unable to walk across my room
and my pulse beat from IS to 116 times a minute
then used DR.. Miles New Heart Cure, and AT
once became stronger. After using six bottles
| was able to work as usual and walk a mile every
| day, my pulse ranging from 6S to 80. DR.. Miles
remedy Is not only preventive but a cure"
