THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion 90
Hand i'm Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued IN, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true Of hard physical labor.
When FIVE horse power engine is made
to do ten horse power work something is
going TO break Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
office will "bolt y his food i'll a few min
utes which will take hours TO digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful i'll the
stomach as keg of nails would be i'll d
FIRE under boiler The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
nourislment they require from the blood,
finally the il1-used brain is iuorbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense i'll the
treatment of the stomach and The whole

joynient of life aud healthy digestion when
he takes Dr.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood The Pellets y are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concen-
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach Of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for 4 short time 10 cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of

crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
OF the stomach and bowels, tonirg up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of tie pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vita1ized and strengthened, not
deadened or put 10 sleep, as the so-ca1led

PERSONAL MENTION.

WILLIAM Hull, an American in Hong
kong. has been fined 500 for sketching
military works there. The Hills are
playing in hard luck these days.
RENEWED interest is being taken IN
Boston in the movement to erect
suitable monument over the grave OF
John Hancock, in the old Granary bury
ing ground. The last legislature ap-
propriated $1,000 for the purpose and
special committee Of the executive
council is now giving hearings to those
who have suggestions on the subject to
make.
Ben DAVIES, the famous tenor, con-
fesses that the words of some OF
the popular songs he has to sing are
doggerel. One song, he says, he sang
only once because the words were SO
bad. He liked the music of 1t, but he
was ashamed to stand up and utter the
nonsense contained in the words. Mr..
Davies expresses wonder that composers
should put up with such wretchcd sem
timent.
Miss LOUISE IMoGEN Quincy, writer
Of verse, who is postmistress at Auburn
dale, Mass, has been boycotted by a
number of people in the town because
she keeps two 2o0-pound dogs, alleged
to be fierce. People who don't like
dogs or are afraid of them, refuse to
buy any stamps at the Office, and as a
result the business of the Office has
fallen off so seriously that the govern
ment has reduced Miss Guiney's salary
sloO. Literary people all over New
England, having heard of this, are
sending her orders for stamps.

SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Startling Figures to the Immensity OF
the Heavenly Bodies.

Startling Figures as to the Immensity OF
the Heavenly Bodies.
To form some idea of the largeness
of the earth one may look upon the
landscape from the top of an ordinary
church steeple, and then bear in mind
that one must view 100000 similar
landscapes to get an approximately
correct idea of the size of the earth.
Place 500 earths, like ours, side by
side, yet Saturn's outermost ring could
easily inclose them. Three hundred
thousand earth globes could be stored
inside the sun, if hollow.
If a human eye every hour were
capable of looking upon a fresh meas
ure of world material 5,40O square
miles large, that eye would need 55, ZOO
years to overlook the surface of the
Eun.
To reach the nearest fixed star one
must travel 20, 500, ,OO0, 600 miles, and, if
the velocity were equal to that of a
cannon ball, it would require 1000, 900
years to travel that distance.
Besides single stars, we know of sys-
TENS of stars moving around one an
~
into space as yet. Outside our limits
of vision and imagination there are no
doubt still larger spaces.
The milky way holds at least 20. 191,-
900 stars, and, as each is sun. we pre-
sumo it is encircled by at least so
planets.
Counting up these figures we arrive
at the magnitude of 1000. 955, 900 stars.
A thousand million stars. Who can
comprehend it? Still this is only part
of the universe.
The modern telescopes have discov-
cred more and similar milky ways still
further away. We know of some 5000
nebule which represent milky ways
like ours.
Let us count 1000 of them as being
of the size of our milky way: then 2,00o
by 90. 19i. 900 equals 40, 3s2, 900, 900 suns,
or 2,ol9, 100, 0o0, 900 heavenly bodies

Convict Tortured to Death.

Jesse Mimms, a negro convict en-
ployed by Warren county, Miss, with
many others, some Is miles north of
ViclSsburg, on the public roads, was so
cruelty beaten by Ruben Goodrum,
one of the guards, that he died the fol-
lowing night. Evidence before the
coroner's jury, it is alleged. showed
that Goodrum beat the prisoner sew
eral times and had convicts beat him
also, using white oak rod as thick
as a walking stick, also an OK whip,
and tied him up by the thumbs for
forty minutes. Afterward another
guard is charged with hanging the con
vict by the neck. Mimms' offense was
being i'll and unable to work. He was
found dead in bed next morning. The
coroner and other witnesses say that
his body was literally fayed from his
neck nearly to his knees. A great hole
was worn in his abdomen by the blows,
exposing his vitals. Goodrum made
his escape during the inquest.

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts ON the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

SUGAR.TEAT REPUBLICANS.

There is one little point, SO infinitesi-

new converts to the grand old party have

When the sugar bounty, through the
nluniieenee and disintereste1ness of

their pockets with the cold, substantial
metal from Uncle SANS Golfers, did they,

unanimous gentlemen who have always
shown such consideration toward their
employees, notify them peremptorily of
reduction in wages because OF the removal
of the bounty
Here is true Tepublioanism, and ut must
be a source of much qualification to the
radicals to note what apt pupils the new
converts are.
The republican party has always had
for its object to Cypress the laboring man
aud benefit the capitalist, and although
hundreds of instances conld be cited,
this one regarding the action Of the
sugar-teat republicans is sufficient 10
prove the assertion.
Let the laboring man shake the yoke
Of autOeraey and join the ranks of pure
and simple Jefiersonian democracy. This
can only be accomplished by voting for
the regular democratic candidate from
the third district, Hon. Andrew J Price.
The day of election is not far of. and
every voter IN the parish and in the state
should bestir himself, and aid in eleeting
by rousing majority, the peoples choice
that is the straight democratic ticket
