The Approaching Dinner Hour

Is fraught with no pleasant anticipations for
the unhappy mortal plagued with dyspepsia.
Appetite seldom, discomfort after and be-
tween meals, always is his portion. Heart
burn and fatulence subseqent to eating a
gnawing at the pit of the stomach before it, are
only few among the woes arising from this
truly impish complaint. Sick headache,
nervousnesness. constipation and bihousness
are its dlabolical offspring. Each and all of
them are annihilated by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which tones the gastric organs and
regulates the liver and the bowels with cert
ainty and promptitude. Chills and fever,
kidney trouble, rheumatism and neuralgia are
also relnedied by this medicine of rare purity
and comprehensive uses. Inyalids of all kinds
are greatly and swiftly benefited by it.

In COLONIAL Times.
The Work Of Our Forefathers Was
Truly Remarkable.
By Their Genius and Labor They Laid the
Foundation for Our Present Magnifl-
cent Worlds Fair-Where America
Leads the Entire World.
rcoPYRIGHr, 1898. I


There must have been a good deal OF
capacity in the colonies, for 1 note that
they made scythes by the triphammer.
Muskets were made in 174s by one
Orr, who began to make plate shovels
also. In the revolution Salem cap
tain was asked by an Englishman:
Where do you get your cannon?''
'We cast them 'sWhere did you get
your patterns?" SAT Saratoga" said
the Yankee.
Aslate as1750 the Yankee mi1ls5had so
far progressed that parliament passed
an act prohibiting the erection of any
Sitting or rolling mills building FORCES
!, or steel furnaces in America.
Yet this act was called an encourage
ment to pig and bar iron.
Massachusetts declared this an in
fringement of our naturaTrights.
A nail machine was used at Ames-
bury In 1870 for cutting and heading
nails, and soon turned out two hun.

cheaper. The inventor of the nail ma
chine was only twenty-four years old
and previously he had made dies for
the Massachusetts, mint and gold beads
and buckets, and he removedfto Phila-
delphia and then to London, and con.
tinued all hislife invsnting and patent

1 Fisher Ames said in the First1con

country people of Massachusetts to

corners and in winter and on evenings
when little other work can be done
great quantities of nails are made,
even by children. These people take

Still, the brass factories of New
England attest the Importance ofsmall
things. Near the copper mines, in 1773,
they put the prison, and made the
feions work the mines, and many
Tories were put there during the revo-
luton.

New stories of Sir Walter Scott are con-
tinually cropping up, just as they are Of
Abraham Lincoln. and am strongly of the

Recently heard the following story of
Sir Walterin Edinburgh, and my informant
vouched for its truth:
Sir Walter was sitting in his library one
day when tall highlander who had been
building an inn near by came in and said:
May it please you, Sir Walter, am goin
to call my place The Flodden Inn,' and as
ye've writ poem on Flodden Field it
struck me and the guild wife that you might
gle us a line for a MOTTO"

Walter.

performance, and he invented his own
tools and introduced transferable parts
to the gun. His contract was for one
hundred and thirty-four thousand dol
lars, and all the aInorfes of the coun-
try were put upon his model.
We began to polish crystals and pre-
cious stones here in 177e, and the be-
ginner, Abel Buell., made the maps for
Morse'ssGeography.
Nearly all the knee and shoe buckles,
sleeve and vest buttons used in this
country before the revolution were
made by the natives, and not imported
from England at all, no more than the
old bricks which are shown asimported
next door to every brickyard in the
colonies.
Anthracite iron waslnever made until
1887. A person was brought from
Wales who had seen the reduction by
anthracite there; continuous blast
of ninety days with pure anthracite
and only argilaceous ore secured
premium of three thousand dollars to
the promoters, which had been sub
scribed by citizens of Philadelphia. In
1908 American anthracite was first
used in a CRATE for fuel by Jesse Fell
At Brownsville, where James G.
Blaine was born, the first nail factory
west of the Alleghenies was set up,
the workmen being brought there
from Hagerstown, Md, about 1899.
They were handmade wrought nails.
In 1884 a great seam of coal was
struck at Pittsburgh on the land of
the Penns, and various kinds of iron
manufacture was at once begun.
A steel furnace was put up in Phila-
delphia in 1747, and was visited by
Washington.
An Irishman in Philadelphia built
our first steam engine in 1773, and it
pumped water for a distillery.
1t seems that Thomas Paine, the con-
troversalist, was the first bold engineer
in the colonies, and he proposed to
make bridge over the Schuylkill
river, to be built without piers, With
an arch of four hundred feet span. His
plans were carried out finally, and JEFF
ferson made a complimentary mention
of him in Paris.

neer, said of Tom Paine's bridge over

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The number of
callers at the White House yesterday was
surprisingly small considering the long alb
sence of the president. Senators and rep
resentatives dropped in occasionally, but at
no time was there any crowd Secretary
Carlisle was the first to set the guillotne
to work One Of his first acts was TO call
for the resignation Of T. r. Lang, a repub-
lican chief of division from Maryland. A
Virginia democrat has been selected as
Lang's successor.
The Maryland democrats claimed the
place on the ground that citizen Of that
state now holds its. Secretary Carlisle re-
piled that he had determined to change the
policy of supplementing removed officials
with citizens of the same state; that it
tended to create the feeling Of state pro
prietorship in such position, and he would
not encourage any such idea. He said that
he would deal equitably with the different
states, and would give to Maryland some
other position equally as good as that to be
vacated by Lang

The Cold situntIon.

WASHINGTON, May 4-The gold reserve,
according to the treasury books Is S97,
026 900. This includes, as far as can be
accurately sscertained, all the gold offered
and accepted within the past ten days, ex-
cept about $3.50, ,000 thus leaving the re-
serve invaded about $1,000, 600. This has
been occasioned by the quiet withdrawal of
gold from the New York and Boston sub
treasures for shipment to Canada, and by
the further fact that 100000 promised
from the west at the last moment was
withdrawn.
Some small offers Of gold were made yes
terday and accepted, and unless the export
for Saturday is large, it is probable that
the treasury may make up the present de-
ficiency, and the gold reserve again become
intact The total gold in the country, as
estimated by the treasury's official circula-
ton statement, aggregates S6l3, 900, 600, of
which S51S, 900, 900 is in circulation.
