LITTLE ANDORRA,S PLIGHT.

A country too small for the guns of
its forts is in a serious plight. The
little republic of Audorrd is trying to
solve such a difficulty. The real fact
of course is that the country will hold
the guns, but in case any firing is
done somebody outside of the little
valley is certain to become the billet
of the proJectile. Either France or
Spain will then have a claim against
Andorra, depending on which way
the guns are aimed. The controver-
sy now raised between AndOrra and
those two countries is over an es-
pecially large Krupp gun warranted
to carry 20 miles. 1t is only seven
miles from one side of Andorra to the
other, and so the governments inter
ested in the consequences of firing
this weapon or engine want to know
why the supreme authority Of the
Pyrenean republic wants gun to
carry at the least 10 miles beyond its
confines. The case is a singular one,
and would fit into a comic opera
nicely, but for all that France is not
the right kind of nation as regards
pointing guns across boundaries to
be interrogating Andorra concerning
the possible utility of such a gun in
the Pyrenees.-[Springheld RepubH-

SURELY 4 MISTAKE.

Poor Mike was very iil-almost as
i'll as he was short, and what that
meant those who knew him can best
say, for physically he was hardly
more than a dwarf.
The doctor was called in, and af-
ter investigation, informed Mrs.
Mike that her husband was suffer
ing from actinomycosis, name
which appeared to strike terror to
the soul of the anxious woman.

"Actinomycosis,' replied the

The Japanese government is show
ing wisdom in it's action regarding
emigration to other countries. The
people Of Japan are as d rule, fond
of their beautiful empire, and rarely
leave it unless they go out as labor
ers, under contract with promise of
good pay and safe return to their
native country as soon as their fixed
term of service is over. The alien
contract law Of the United States
forbids the admission of such labor
ers, and at the port of San Francisco
several japanese have been denied
the right to land, and sent back
home. The japanese government
has, therefore, made a law that no
emigrants whose admission would
be contrary to the laws of any
other country should be allowed to
leave that empire. If China and the
countries on the continent Of Europe
would pass and enforce such a law,
the United states would find the
enforcement of emigration pro-
visions q very simple natter Bal

The following (writes Marina
duke" in the Graphic) is now told of
the Bishop of Peterborough. Hap
pening to pay visit to celebrated
country house the Bishop was offered
the use of the haunted room. Not
being afraid of ghosts he accepted
this without demur. Upon the fol-
lowing morning, at breakfast it was
noticed that the Bishop looked SOL
emn, and he was therefore naturally
asked if a ghost had appeared to him.
Yes said the Bishop. What did
he say to you?" was the next ques-
ton. ''Oh l spoke TO it first" Real
ly! What did you say" II asked
it to subscribe to my new Cathedral. :"
"And what did the ghost say ?"
"Nothing-it disappeared at once"

A CASTLE IN THE AIR.

Each new Worlds Fair must have
some decided novelty. however,
apart from the features that are
common to all. Paris, IN 1889, mad
The Eifel Tower, which was actually
sone of the wonders of the world.
chicago had the huge Ferris Wheel,
another wonder. Both of these are,
by the way, now being reproduced
In London on still greater scale
than the original. But Antwerp
must have something different
from either, surprising both in au-
sdacity of design. What should it
Ibe ?" asked the Viscomte de Nieu-
liant, to whom fell the task of pro-
viding it. why not try castle IN
the air?" 1t was one Mr.. Toblan-
sky who made the suggestion. He
Elaborated the plans, the viscomte
was charmed with and adopted
them, and here we are. This as
ztounding device is literally a castle
! In the air; considerable structure,
! of steel and aluminium framework,
with floor and walls and root of
bamboo, and metal plates, and silk
en- cloth. 1t will be suspended fully
five hundred feet in the air, not rest
ing upon piers or column of any
kind, but literally floating IN the air,
and kept from rising higher and
drifting away by four mighty cables,
one at each corner. Then what sup
ports it? Nothing but a huge bal
loon made of silk, with numerous
compartments to insure safety from
rupture. 1t will contain, when fully
inflated, 90, 900 cubic yards of gas,
and will, it is said, be amply able to
sustain the castle and all the visi-
tors it can accommodate at one time.
Access to this unique resort will be
only by balloon. There will be halt
a dozen, perhaps more, balloons as
cending and descending between
guide ropes, like passenger elevators
in a tall building. Each will be able
to carry a dozen persons at a time
and will make the ascent in about
three minutes. 1t will, of course, be
possible to draw the whole aeria
edifce to the ground, but it is not
expected that this will be done il
the course of the exhibition.

AMONG THE INVALIDS.

1t is very desirable that anyone
who has the care of d family, and SO,
sooner or later, Of the sick, should
be ready for all emergencies of dis
ease and accident. And as a great
part of the care of the sick lies in
their fit nourishment, it is equally
desirable to know just what dishes
are the best and most sustaining for
the ailing and the convalescent.

Cam Liver Pills Cure the Evils of In
digestion?

For a hundred years doctors have dis
agreed about the liver. Only yesterday fig
uretively speaking, they woke up to its real
uses in the digestion and absorption of
food.
Biliousness is NOT Indigestion. Liver pills
stimulate the secretions, but do not stinu-
late the storage powers of the liver aid
digestion. If you cannot digest starch food
your liver cannot store up a reserve. You
are always hungry but food does you no
good.
1t is not the liver. Pills won't help you.
1t is partly the stomach, but medicine won't
help it. What you need is Paskola, a food
that is already digested. Paskola is made
of grains and fruit, artifcially transformed
into the actual products of digestion. When
swallowed. it is at once absorbed without
further digestion, and part of it is stored up
in the liver. There is no waste about Pas
kola. Ii is highly concentrated food, but,
unlike most concentrated foods, which are
usually indigestible, it causes the stomach to
work, because 1t is already digested. Pas
kola helps the stomach TO digest other food.
1t is the food for all people who suffer from
indigestion.
Mr.. Charles E. Isaacs. 413 Main St., Wor-
cester, Mass, says: II have tried many
doctors and countless patent medicines-all
were of no avail till took 'Paskola.' To

The sending of an internal machine to
President Nc Bride of the united mine work
ers may have come about in various ways
all of which are nefarious. 1t may be that
President Mcbride by his leadership of the
great coal strike is suffering the penalty of
being conspicuous, viz becoming a target
for cranks, or it may be that some half
crazed fellow who has not been allowed to
work by the strikers feels that in
removing Mcbride he is doing his duty in
the same way as the Russian Nihilist be-
lieves he would by removing the Car of
all the Russias. At any rate the act was
suggestive and if Mcbride counsels violence
in connection with the strike, which we un-
derstand he has not done. must seem to him
like bringing Goals to Newcastle. The &C.
currence ought to set some of the crazy
anarchists thinking. There would be an
ele ment of poetical, if rot practical, justice
in one of the anarchistic leaders being
"hoist with his own petard," as it were.
