The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who consistently neglects his health, and the means of preserving and restoring it. Many persons who are not .cQnstitutional idiots do this. They are genuine ob- jects of compassion as well as censure
 A failure of appetite, loss of sleep and
 flesh, impaired digestion, an uncer- tain state of bowels and symptoms of billousness are so many warnings of the approach Of disease. To disregard them is abject folly, which offended nature in due time punishes severely, if not fatally That genial and thor oughlv reliable preventive of bodily mischief in the shape of chronic dis ease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will, if restored to in time, avert those disorders, to the removal Of which it is also fully adequate. Among these are chronic indigestion, liver complaint, kidney troubles, constipation, ner- vousness, rheumatish and malaria.

It is "overwork" that has filled this country with nervous dyspeptics?- that takes the flesh off their bones the vitality from their blood, and makes them feeble, emaciated and inefficient4 No. It is bad cooking, overeating of indigestible stuff and other health-destroying habits.
 The remedy Is an artihcially di- gested food such as Shaker Digestive Cordial. Instead of irritating the al ready infamed stomack the Cordial gives it a chance to rest by nourish- ing the system itself and digesting other food taken with it. So flesh and strength return. Is not the idea rational? The Cordial is palatable and relieves immediately. No money risked to decide on it's value. A 10 cent trial bottle does that.

SUCCESSFUL KITE EXPERIMENT

Ascend to q Height Of Over Mile and
Obtain Important Records.
The observers at Blue Hill observa-
tory in New jersey have sent to William
A. Eddy definite details of their great
Kite ascension of the sth inst, when
records were made with their meteoro-
graph at height of 1855 feet above sea
level. More than three miles of piano
wire were paid out, the ascension be-
ginning at 9: Is a. m. and ending at9:o5
p. m. The pull ON the wire was from
20 70 SO pounds at the start, and ranged
from so to 95 pounds at the highest
point, after which it slowly decreased.
The instrument entered and passed
through the clouds as shown by the
record OF very dry air above the clouds.
The temperature fell from IS degrees
at the Hill to 90 degrees at an altitude
Of $3.50 feet. The meteorograph record
in ink :, on revolving cylinder
run by clockwork was the best
yet obtained. The lifting force
consisted of seven Eddy and two
Hargrave kites from six to nine feet
IN diameter, and the ascension was man
aged by Clayton, Ferguson and Sweat
land, Of the observatory. The instru-
ment was more than a mile high dur
Ing three hours. This breaks all kite
altitude records. =

In no nation will the work of census
taking be more difficult than in China,
where the people are as the sands of the

Anything approximating an accurate
census Of the population Of the earth
at the present time is, without doubt,
an impossibility. In addition to the
poles, there are many spots on the earth
that have never been visited by the ex-
plorer, and others from which q census
cnumerator would never get away alive.
The population of the earth is now esti-
mated at 1,70o, 000, 900. These figures
were given by Profs. Benin and Wagner
Of the University of Goettingen, and
their estimates are based upon the best
information. Yet both frankly ac-
knowledge that they have had to fill W
many of their columns with nothing
better than guesses-guesses founded
upon the observations of travellers and
upon other guesses mentioned in
treaties given by such countries as
China, Persia, Arabia and Turkey.
In China, for instance. they state
that their figures may be 2Oo,ooo.oo9
more or less than the actual number OF
people. In Africa they may be some
10000, coo estray, and in Asiatic Turkey,
Persia, Siam and Afghanistan the fig.
ures are probably equally uncertain.

STANLEY TURNING BLACK.
Results Of Having African Blood Injected
Into His Veins to Prevent Fever.

Henry NJ. Stanley. the famous African
explorer. is gradually turning black.
as the result of having negro blood
transmitted 70 his veins as q protection
against the deadly malaria while he was
travelling in the dark continent
1t is well-known fact that the eli
mate of certain portions of Africa is
extremely dangerous to foreigners, and
as Stanley had TO pass through the
''fever country" he had a skillful native
operator perform the operation OF
transfusing blood from q negro to his
(Stanley's) veins. That the operation
was successful cannot be doubted, as
Stanley travelled repeatedly through
that district without ever having the
fever. HIS skin, which was formerly
very fair, has cow assumed q dark color,
which is thought to be caused by the
negro blood.
