Electric Bltters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed in the spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of tonic and Alternative
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, con-
stipation, dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. Fifty cents and 81 90 per bot
tie at Holmes 4 Connell's drug store.

The pope's favorite poets are Virgil
and Dante. He knows great part OF
both by heart and takes pleasure in quot
ing them. When Father Michael, the
apostolic project to Erithrea. was taking
his leave with the other Franciscans
who accompanied him TO Africa, his
holiness recited to them with great
spirit Dante's canto upon st. Francis.
The pope reads the newspapers, pas
sages of interest being marked for him
by readers in order to save him time.
He frequently writes letters to the bish-
ops and encyclicals in polished and
Ciceronian style of Latin. The encyoli-
Gals are printed at the private press OF
the Vatican, an institution founded by
him and furnished with all modern i'm
provements They are first published IN
The Osservatore Romano, the official
daily paper of the Vatican, and then
finally translated into Italian and other
languages and sent ont to the bishops
abroad. Leo XIII writes excellent
: 4etses, both in Latin and Italian, and
likes to see and talk with men of letters
as we'll as to read their works. Two
years ago he re 1uested Professor Brunell
Of Perugia 70 buy for him the poetica
works of the Able Zanella. The request
is Characteristic, for his holiness insisted
upon paying for the book like any one
else. Marion Crawford in Century.

Stephen b. Elkins tells an interesting
story of his election to the senate. Il
was sitting in my study at my country
home, said he, awaiting the returns
that should tell me whether or not l had
been chosen to take the place of Senator
Camden. The operator at the telegraph
station had orders to open all kilograms

contents to me Immediately. Suddenly
the telephone bell rang, and the chill
dren's governess, who answered the
'phone, came to me and told me that the
person at the other end Of the wire was
saving something about shoes, she
couldn't quite make it out. oh, said
|. it's my wife's shoemaker, probably.
Tell him to let the matter rest until to
morrow She delivered the message,
but returned shortly to say that the man
insisted on talking TO me. Invent to the

of the evening was told by DIR. Greer Of
a tedious, monotonous preacher who
had exhausted the patience Of his hear

their sad disgust, he passed on to the
