proved positively by the absence of these

Judges of the Olympic Games.

The hellanodc@, Or judges, were ten
in number, selected by lot from the ten
tribes Of Ellis. They entered upon their
Office ten months before the festival.
They were first sIhooled in the tradi-
tions and regulations Of the games,
then studied the capacities Of the ath-
letes while they were still in training.
They had to decide upon the qualiflca-
lions Of the contestants, make up the
programme Of the games, supervise the
preparation Of the scene Of contest, act
as judges in the games, and distribute
the prizes. 1t was a position Of honor
and distinction. They came to the con-
test clad in purple robes, and sat in a
tribune opposite the finish Of the races
in the stadium or hippodrome. They
seem to have subdivided the function Of
Judging, but at least three were present
to judge in every contest. Their deci.
sions were usually final, but an appeal
might be carried to the Olympic senate
They were assisted in the execution Of
their commands by large and we'll
organized body Of police. Professor

THE DEAREST ONE IN ALL THE EARTH.

Mother.
In line or language there is no other
Word that tells so clear story
OF life and love and living glory
Like that sweet word,
So often heard
And yet SO little known
Until into our soul life grown,
AS that which names the precious one
Who only knows her duty done
When she has folded to her breast
Her offspring for longed for rest;
She who has fought the prize to win
For noble life and an entering in
Through the gates Of heaven,
By promise given,
OF yielded life for life, of love for love,
For bringing blessings from above,
Lifting her offerings up ON high,
Ready for them to do and die.
And this brief verse
Would fain rehearse
The virtues and the modest worth
OF the dearest one in all the earth,
Mother.

one of the most useful travelling COM
panions, one that never fails in an emer-
gency to which 1t is adapted, is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which remedies sea
sickness, nausea, headache, biliousness
and malarial complaints. Dyspepsia,
rheumatism, nervousness and kidney
trouble are also remedled by the great
Alternative and preventive. Tourists by
sea and land, mariners, emigrants and
western pioneers all testify TO its defen-
slve and remedial efficacy. Bodily and
mental fatigue are counteracted by it, ard
it prevents maladies which would other
wise be brought on by exposure. No one
should start on summer outing without
it. 1t is the most genial and reliable of
summer tonics, and suits the most fas-

to insure family against any serious
consequences from an attack of bowel
complaint during the year there are many
who would feel it their duty to pay it,;
that they could not afford to risk their
lives and those of their family for such
an amount. Anyone can get this insur-
ance for rs cents, that being the price of
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

neighborhood some one has died from an
attack of bowel complaint before medi-
cine could be procured or physician
summoned. One or two doses of this
remedy will cure any ordinary case. It
never fails. Can you afford to take the
risk for so small an amount? For sale

For your Protection atarh ''Cures" or
Tones for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if toolong taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catalrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentilnes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should bequick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, SO cents.

Gladstone's Message

LONDON, Dec. 23.-This afternoons
papers continue commenting editori
ally and at length upon the Venezu.
elan matter, but their remarks are on
the financial, rather than the politi-
cal, aspect of the case. While there
is no abatement of the expressions OF
belief that the ground taken on be,
half of the United States is untenable,
the tone is altogether more pacific
Yet, there is a considerable display OF
satisfaction at the financial difficulties
in the United States.
The dispatch which the Right Hon.
W. E. Gladstone sent to Mr.. Joseph
Pulitzer. proprietor of the New York
World, in answer to the latter's re-
quest for message to the American
people on the Venezuelan question,
has attracted wide attention here and
elsewhere. Mr.. Pulitzer telegraphed
that American sentiment was at the
turning point, that one turned the
wrong way no power on earth could
hold it back, and that a word of peace
and fellowship from Mr.. Gladstone
would aid to check clamor, to soothe
the passion, to encourage sober thought
and may avert calamity.
In reply Mr.. Gladstone cabled ::
II can not interfere. Only common
sense required. Cannot say more
with advantage
The St. James Gazette this after
noon commenting upon Mr.. Glad
stones message to Ghe proprietor of
the New York World, says: Com,
mon sense would have avoided the
shock which has been given to both
countries. 1t will find its way out.
It is the Americans who must supply
the needful pinch of sanity, which
they are fully capable of doing"
The Westminster Gazette advises
all concerned to take holiday and a
breathing space, and allow common
sense to assert ITSELF adding, when
both sides discover that there is ample
room for consideration, concession and
adjustment, the common sense party
in the United States may be sure that
it would be met half way by the com
mon sense party here"

The Cotton Acreage.

MEMPHIS. Dec. 23.-The movement
looking to no increase of the cotton
acreage next year was inaugurated by
the Memphis Cotton Exchange this af-
ternoon alta general meeting called for
the purpose. The preamble to the
resolutions adopted sets forth that
large crop of cotton grown at heavy
expenses brings but little if any larg-
er total value, contrasting the present
with past years to establish the fact,
and adds:
Another matter for the farmers to
bear in mind is that at the present
time, when there IS remote poSslbll-
ity OF war, if such should occur, the
inevitable result thereof would be to
depreciate the value of cotton and ap-
preciate the value of all food crops.
Therefore, belt
Resolved, That the Memphis Cotton
Exchange urgently recommends to the
producers that the production OF home
supplies be made the first considera-
ton in planting operations for the
coming year. and that the acreage of
cotton be not Increased over that OF
last year.
Resolved, That we approve and in
dorse the American Cotton Growers
Associations for bringing about the re-
duction in the acreage of the crop now
being marketed and we respectfully
urge the Hon. Hector D. Lane, the
president. and his coadiutors, the pres
idents of the various cotton States OF
said association to continue in the good
work, and to take up the matter at the
earliest practicable moment and urge
it again upon the attention of the cot
ton producers of the South.
Resolved. That the various cotton
exchanges throughout the South be,
and are hereby, requested to cooperate
with this exchange in this matter, and
that the Southern newspapers are also
requested to publish these resolutions. "
