Of things-it shows itself in many ways.
At first. perhaps little heaviness in the
stomach, little sourness, windy belchings
and heartburn. Headaches begin to come
pretty soon after that, and biliousuess and
a foul taste in the mouth in the morning
Chronic constipation is almost inevitable,
and it is probably the most serious trouble
that ever takes hold of man. Its seeming
simplicity is the thing that makes it mosi
dangerous because it leads to neglect
Constipation means that the body is hold
ing poisonous, impure matter that should
be gotten rid of The poison is being re.
absorbed into the blood and the whole body
is being filed with it Impurity in the
blood may lead to almost any disease.
There is no telling what may come of it.
Constipation is the start of it all And YET
people are careless about it. 1t is the most
serious thing in the world and the easiest
to cure ii you go about it right Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation, Cure
it positively, certainly. infaliibly. Cure il
SO i stays cured. Cure it SO you can stor
taking medicine.
And that is something that no othe,
remedy in the world will do.

A Sneeze Dispelled.

A medical paper says sneeze is instan-
taneously lispelled by pressing the finger
upward against the division of the nose at
the point where the upper lip inside joins
the gum. Another plan is to expire all the
air possible from the lungs the moment
you perceive indications Of snceze.

THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN THE WORK OF
 FIRE FIENDs.
 At 10:15 o'clock last night a telephone message was ent in to the nre department from Thirteenth avenue and Twentieth street, stating that Mir. Clinton's house was on fire.
 I he Southside departments and the NortL- side hose wagon turned out, and after arr irving went to work on the flames. The run was a long one, and by the time the .eparlment arrived tho blaze had devel- ored into one of considerable magnitude.
 1t took good work to keep the house from being totally destroyed. The roof of the building, which was an elegant two-story one, was burned off and the servants house damaged.
 Whether the blaze originated from a stove or some one Intentionally set it on fire is not positively known, but 1t IS thought that fire fiends did the work.
 The loss on the house and furniture will reach al put S12, 900.
 The house is owned by Mir. George Waddeli and is occupied by MT. Clinton of the Armour Packing company.

A BIG TOBACCO BOX.
It Weighs Ono Hundred Pounds and Ia Carefully Guarded.

Tho biggest tobacco box in tho world, or what is fondly believed to be such, is carefully guarded by the overseers of tho united parishes of St. Margaret and St. John tho Evangelist, Westminster, Eng land It weighs hundrcdwcight, and 1t is a remarkable historical curiosity. It is really not single box, but an agglom- eration of them, ono outside the other, like Chinese puzzle or an onion which has been growing for tho last 1S1 years. The original tobacco box, tho core, was the property of old Henry Monck, who de- cidcd to perpetuate his memory in this peculiar way.
 Tradition hath it that he purchased tho horn tobacco box at Horn fair, Plumstead, for tho small sum of fourpencc and present ed tho box to society formed of tho past and present members of tho parish. The original box is only f 1S inches long by 3A inches wide, 1L inches outside by three quarters of an inch inside depth, and 1t weighs 10@ ounces. Tho members wore so delighted with tho old fellows gift they ornamented it with silver rim on which his name was engraved. It was religious ly committed to the custody of tho senior overscer for the time being, who handed it to his successor, with some additional silver ornament.
 SQ avafter year the box has grown big 'and bigger. Tho gentlemen who foll ed Monck in tho office of ovcrseer thongtt fit at tho end of thoir terms of seryic Lo chronicle on tho box events of importance which had occurred during their terms of office A similar act has been carried on year after year, and tho original penny tobacco box now rests within no fewer than six massive cases, the last one and pedestal being octagonal in shape and constructed out of an oak beam taken from Westminster abbey. It is surmountod by n beautiful chased silver statuette of tho queen, which cost G50 and was added as mcmonto to her maj esty's year of jubilee. The ceremony of annually passing over tho box from the outgoing oversecr to the incoming ono is very elaborate and has distinctly pleasant savor of tho good old times" It takes place after the customary dinner at tho annual general meeting.

INFLUENCE OF HOLMES.
What the "Autocrat" Has Done to Make
 People Hate Shams.


 Among tho titles of Dr. Holmes to grat- itudo and end nring remembrance which recall themselves to us there is one which hope no ono will soon loso sight of, and which perhaps ought to be called his in- f1uence as civilizer. He not only showed us, it seems to me-and I am thinking of somo of his more didactic poems, of the opening chapters of Elsie Venner," of countless passages in the "Autocrat" and the Professor fine foundation we Americans have to build upon, but ho was the means of melting directly null titude of reade.s to work toward ideals of real and sincere culture, not the sham ar ticle which have never in our, literature been put into such sane and comprehen- sive form.
 should like to sec muster, and am sure it should bo large one, of the men HOW in middle age whose mental tone has been, consciously or unconsciously, con siderably influenced by the kindly castiga- tion until they seemed intolerable of shams and half baked pretenses that oth- erwise they might have gone on tolerat- ing; by the flashes of unmalignant wit in which even small boorishnesses and mean nesses were suddenly shown up in so un- mistakable a light that 1t seemed impossi- bIe ever to commit them again; by tho numberless cumulative touches by which on ideal of the gentleman was built up, wholesome, sensible, unpriggish, attaina- ble by every sincere, sham hating man, yet also full of quiet high things, charity, consideration for others-a man of gentle will. ."-Scribner's Magazine.

MASSACHUSETTS FIRM DESIRES TO COME
 SOUTH AND BUILD.
 RCsroN, Jan. 9.-For some time there has been gradual exodus of cotton manu- lecturers from the New England states to the south. Today petition was pre- sented at the state house from the Boot Cotton mills of Lowell asking for permis- sion 10 manufacture outside of Massachu- sets.
 'tThe matter is just this.'' MT. Elliott c. Clark, the treasurer of the concern, said. "We can manufacture certain class of goods, such as cotton shooting, etc. at larger profit in tho south. The manufacture of coarse cotton goods has started down there, and on account of the many advantages, such as a lower price for fuel, lower prices for wages and lower taxes, we were unable to compete. We have no immediate inten- ton of moving, but if we secure the neces- sary permission we shall probably com mence the manufacture of coarse cotton goods there.
 ''The other cotton manufacturers who have commenced manufacturing in the south did so for precisely the same reasons. You understand that no machinery or mills are moved. We continue mar ufacturing the finer classes of goods here, as do other manufactures.
