Every druggist sells cod liver

you need cod liver oil you
want the best. We buy 1t
in original tanks direct from
the fisheries, and it is abso-

The average druggist buys

Voltaire's saying 'les bon mots

reappear, after going through the
forceps of evolution, the only
change being in the matters of the

appeared as meSmerism and when
mesmerism collapsed, biology took
its place.
Biology died out, and was sue
ceeded by psychology, which for a
brief season, created a great sensa-
ton and unsettled the wits of
weak minded and credulous peo-
pie. And now hypnotism is the
lineal successor of all these previ-
Gus humbugs and will collapse
like its predecessors.

The attempt the enforce the Sun
day law in the city of New York
has ended in a fizzle. The front
doors of the saloons were closed,
but the back doors stood ready to
open to all in quest of a cocktail,
toddy, or glass of beer. When men
got into a saloon on Sunday
through the back door they just
camped there for hours and i'm
bibed frequently. Hundreds of
"holes in the WALL where liquor
and beer were dispensed, sprang
into existence and cheated the state
and county out of the license
money.
In the town of Dayton, Tenn,
a number of adventists, or seventh
day Christians, have been impris-
oned in the county Jail for working
on Sunday. The seventh day
Christians believe that the Sab
bath day established by God by
commanding the seventh day to
be observed as a day of rest, is
| still binding ON Christians, and
that Sunday was substituted for
the Sabbath fixed by God, without
the least authority by the apostles.
The seventh day Christians hold
that the state laws forbidding
work to be done on Sunday violate
the clause in the Federal constitu-
ton prohibiting the governments
establishing any form or sect Of
religion.
They say the state laws in regard
to Sunday assume that Sunday
was lawfully substituted for the
Sabbath, or the seventh day.
Fanatics are destitute of COM
mon and deaf to the voice of

The back door entrance to Sa-

was that it was made by a train about

don says: 1.-The coin and bullion in
the Bank of England decreased this
week f1,0c0,00O, though the net exports
OF gold were only f392,000. The details
are: $4,000 to the Cape, fl30,00O to

the continent and f179,00 Imported
from Australia and fS1,000 in bars
bought. The eff1uX of gold into circu-
lation is regarded faVorably as in
dicating signs of improved trade.
Notwithstanding this, other deposits,
that is, market balances with the bank,
increased to over ESQ, ,GC0000, the high
est figure recorded. The increase is
due to the disbursements of dividends
on the funds last Saturday. The stock
markets have been firmer all day, but

when the official figures, 65.1, were
read, and the brokers could scarcely
wait ITO hear the remainder of the re-
port, which stated that the crop had
been damaged by drought and boil
worms and shortened by premature
opening. The pit became a scene of
widest excitement and the price i'm
mediately broke eighteen points
under heavy selling pressure from
Europe, the South and the local con-
tingent. Trading continued very ac-
tive during the session. A report
that New Orleans was less unfavor-
ably affected by the bureau state
ment helped to check selling here,
although local liquidation was ex-
tensive. The market reached some
twelve points later, on outside buy
ing and news of damage by frost.
