Why is he SO Irritablee

This question is often heard and
nearly as often unanswered.
It is not often remembered, as it
should be, that the occasion of i'll
temper and irritability is often to be
found in the physical condition of
the person affected. What is the
use Of trying to harmoLize a man
whose liver has gone back on hint
If a man is tortured with rheumatism
how can he be expected to be affable
and agreeable? Can a confirmed
dyspeptic be expected to be cheerful
and always ready to tell a funny
storya The only way to remove the
difficulty is to get at the cause
Dyspepsia, rheumatism, and impure
bloood yield to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
this is why it is an effective tranquil
izer, peaceful messenger an a
preventive of domestic quarrels.

death by big piece of lumber fall

others were all drowned. They were
taken out of the portion of the
house that still stood and buried
near their parents.
In the rear of the island hundreds
of little mounds marked the resting
places of those who were killed in
the terrible storm. There were
many other burial parties. Men,
women and children joined in the
search for the dead. With poles
and hooks and ropes, they drew the
corpses from the water, or dragged
them from the debris that strews
the land and buried them. In Nine.

bodies, all mangled in some manner,

As one advanced the foot sank in-

which had for many hours covered

cargo of provisions this morning
and proceeded direct to Cheneri.
Nine hundred dead bodies have been
found floating in the waters of Grand

six were washed to sea on raft, and
washed back again when the wind
changed. The property loss on both
islands will be very heavy. The loss
OF life at Cheneri is not less than
700, and may reach 1000, Only
eighteen persons were killed on
Grand Isle, though the destruction
Of property there was great.
On Cheniere Caminda climax of

Judge Stein, OF Illinois state court,
who granted the injunction restraining
from interference with the opon fair on
.s:Srday. was quoted in the dispatches
as saying thatit is not true that this is
Christian nation.
Judge Stein, as he is reported in the
Chicago newspapers, does not say this.
Ho says: "Even If christianity DO i'm.
beddod in the law-which is not free
from legal doubt-yet it by no means
follows that tho Christian religion, as
practised by large numbers OF Its devout
believers, requires the fair to be closed
on Sunday" 1t is true that many
Christians arc in favor of the fair being
open on Sunday, SO that the Sunday
test Is not fair test OF orthodox chris
tianity.
On the other point the Illinois Judge
Is certainly in error. Tho supreme
court OF the United States has decided
that this is u Christian nation" There
is the fullest religious liberty, but the
nation was founded on the Christian
religion and stands to-day on this foun-
dation.

RalIroad Racer 20 the Fair.

When one OF the principal hotel men
OF Chicago, being one OF a delegation to
secure low excursion rates to the fair,
was asked whether the hotels intended
to lower their rates, it was thought that
the railroad man had scored good
point. He had caught the hotel man in
his own trap,
Still the crowds are not hurrying to
the fair and the railroads are not run
ming full trains to Chicago, People be-
leve that lower rates will come and are
waiting for them, Still others will go
ii they can get cheap rates, Ifnot they
will remain at home, The railroad
companies have said that they would
have all they could do without lower
ing their rates, and that to carry more
passengers would require more equip
menta, resulting in q losing venture.
The railroad companies may be sup
posed TO know their own business. It
is easy to say what they ought to do and
hard to prove it; for railroads are con.
Quoted to make money, aud it requires
intimate knowledge Of their business to
demonstrate that they could mako more
money by pursuing what the public con-
siders more liberal and wiser policy.
At the same time there are the uutaken
places in the cars, and these seem to
plead tho popular cause.
II the rates were considerably reduced
tho rush would begin. 1t may come
later without reduction. Nobody can
say positively how it will be.
