A Dollar Went Further in Those DAYS.

A wag, when told that George Wash
ington threw a dollar over the natural
bridge of Virginia. replied that dol
lar went further in those days than
now. The wag, though witty. was
wrong; for dollar never went so far
as now, if it be invested in Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, which is
universally acknowledged to be a
specific for consumption, bronchitis
and all wasting diseases. The nutritive
properties of Coo liver oil are trifling
when compared with the results that
follow the use of the Discovery"

EDIsoN'S START Those who knew
him when he was young man would
have laughed one to scorn who should
have predicted that the time would
ever come when he would have as much
as quarter of dollar which he might
call his own. The trouble was not that
he was without capacity to earn, says
the New York Ledger. He had no diff
ficulty in securing remunerative EN-
pigments, but in his youthful days
his savings went for books and instru-
ments and for the relief of impecunious
and oftimes undeserving associates, and
he always was in debt and always wore
shabby clothes. When he came to New
York. in his twenty second year, he was
as poor as church mouse. He wan
dered about the city for three weeks
seeking employment, and we are told
that in this time he actually suffered
more than once the pangs of hunger.
He CHANGED one day to enter the office
of Laws Gold Reporting Company just
at the time when the stock quotation
printer in the central office was in q
state of collapse. 81 think, Mr.. Laws"
he said, can show you where the
trouble lies" And he was as good as
his word. He began to draw a salary
of $500 month the following day.

Gov. MCKINLEY AND THE NEGROES.
Twenty years ago no prophet. how
ever great his powers, would have pre-
dicted that a paragraph like the fol-
lowing would have been printed as a
true chronicle about Republican can
didacy for the presidency who was
seeking support in the South. This
paragraph is from a Jacksonville, Fla,
dispatch and describes Governor Nc
Kinley's movements in Florida the
second day after his arrival:
''In his room at the st. James this
morning, Governor Mckinley was
waited upon by the members of the
negro committee which had invited
him to attend a reception given under
the auspices of their race. The gov
ernor received the negroes kindly, but
told them he would be obliged to de-
cline their request.
"All communication of the governor
and his manager with the negroes has
been conducted most quietly, and in
such way as not to offend the whites.
Whatever bids are made for the negro
support, it is said, will be made sur
reptitiously.
When Mr. Reed begins to ''swing the
circle, or Senator Allison drops down
upon us, we shall all watch their per-
formances with unusual interest This
shelving of the negro is a feature Of
Repu blcan politics which is so novel
that it is positively startling.-Inder-

ArgOn.
From LitteIl'S Liv-

From Littell's Living Age, No. 264s.
The authors have been successful in
preparing fairly large quantities of the
new gas by repeatedly passing air
Greed from oxygen, moisture, and car
bonic acid over strongly heated mag
nesium until all the nitrogen is taken
up by the magnesium. The density of
the pure argon was determined by
weighing it in glass globe, and the
results obtained varied from 1877 to 20.
In other words, if a given bulk of
hydrogen weighs one, the same bulk of
argon has a weight between 1877 and
20, the weight of the same bulk of nj
trogen being almost exactly fourteen.
What part does the new element play
in the economy of the everyday world
around us? 1t is present in vast guam
titles, one part in every hundred parts
of the air we breathe, gallons of it in
every room. NJ. Jourdain talked prose
all his life without knowing it. We
have breathed argon all our lives and
never knew it.

The story of Evangeline is in mind and
we read from the poem as we ride along,
and our hearts are touched with pity for
the poor Acadians turned out of house and
home, taken away from their beautiful
land and driven into exile. There are
places from which one might be exiled
with euuanimity Acadia is not one of
them.
The offense of the Acadians was their
nationality. They were Loyalty and ag-
excessively French. Forty years before
their exile France had made a treaty with
England and had delivered up this PENN
sula of Nova Scotia into English posses
sion. 1t belonged to England. But the
people who were thus disposed of did not
concur. They refused to be Anglicized.
They declined to take an oath of allegiance.
They imbittered and endangered the lives
Of the English garrison at Annapolis Roy
al Whatever they could do against their
governors they did. And the situation be-
came intolerable. France and England
were fighting at Fort Duquesne and else
where, and the Acadian farmers were send
ing their sons to join the armies of the
French. 1t seemed essential to the success
Of the English arms on this continent that
there should be peaceful possession Of
Acadia. And when milder measures
failed the English adopted that expedient
which the story of Evangeline has made
one of the best known incsaants of history.

A mans health and strength depend upon

on his digestion. Constipation stops diges-

you that. When digestion stops, nutrition
stops, and the whole body is thrown out

The way to start digestion is to remove
the obstruction. The way to do that is to

are a positive cure for constipation and
its attendant ills = headaches, sour stom-
