Potatoes as Penholders.

pu.ities of ink, and to keep the pen
point clear and bright, while the aka
loid of the potato, known as solanine,
doubtless has something to do with 1t
in the same line. These elements
readily take up the tannate of iron,
which is the body substance of ink.
Chemically speaking, starch is the
first base of a potato, and sugar or
glucose is the second base. Thus is

In Some Parts OF the World One Makes

Pliny mentions that according to
the historians of Alexander's expedi-
ton oysters foot in diameter were
found in the Indian seas, and Sir
James E. Tennent was unexpectedly
enabled to corroborate the CORE ctness
of his statement, for at Kottiar, near
Trincomalee, enormous specimens of
edible oysters were brought to this
resthouse.
One measured more than eleven
inches in length by half as many in
width. But this extraordinary meas
urement is beaten by the oysters of
Port Lincoln in South A tralia, which
are the largest edible ones in the
world. They are as large as dinner
plate and of much the same shape.
They are sometimes m ore than foot
across the shell, and the oyster fits
his habitation so well that he does not
leave much margin.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go

Office will "bolt " his food in a few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in
fire under a 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
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbid1y wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
ioyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after too
hearty meal, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The Pellets 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 short time TO cure the biliousness,
constipation and .slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver: then the Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonfu! doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. 1t has
peculiar effect upon the lining inembranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do

The charge has been SO often made in the

are fanatics on the financial and other ques-

the grounds of it in the June Arena. The

he is evidently of good old Yankee blood,
for he makes his points like keen, shrewd
Yankee lawyer, and one that goes right
home is this. We are told over and over
again, he says, by the most influential sta
tisticians and other authorities, that the
enormous movement of western immigration
has resulted in depicting the native element
in the Eastern States, and that their ranks
have been filled by foreign emigrants.

this is true, he asks, it is not little start

that the native born American people, born
