The old story of PrOmetheuS is a
parable. PrOmetheus was on terms of
intimacy with the gods. From them
he stole fire, and gave it to men. For
this sin he was bound to the rocks of
Mount Caucasus, and vultures were
set upon him. They only ate his liv-
er. This grew again as fast as it was
pecked away. Are his sufferingS to be
imagined?
Take a modern Interpretation of
the parable. There is no cooking
without fire. II cooking and eating
the mischief lies. The stomach is
Overtasked, the bowels become clog
ged, they cannot dispose of the food
that is given them. The impurities
back up on the liver. Then come the
yultures-the torments of diseased
liver. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is more than equal to the
vultures of dyspepsia and its kindred
diseases. There is no more need of
suffering from dyspepsia than there is
of hanging ones self. Sold by all
medicine dealers the world over.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Hale johnson, OF
Newton, ILL.,, was formally notified in
the Association Building auditorium
last night of his nomination by the pro-
hibitionist convention at Pittsburgh
for. the office of vice president of tho
United States. Mr.. johnson in his ad-
dress accepting the nomination said
among other things that we cannot Sc
cure any permanent results in political
reform until the liquor question is set
tied right. He said the old parties were
responsible for the continuance OF the
liquor traffic; that the soloons of this ma
ton absorb yearly not less than 81 ,2o0,-
100000, of which it is safe to say that
one-half is spent by the wage-earners OF
the country; that no kind of financial
legislation will relieve us under SUCH
conditions; that after 100 years of tenn
perance agitation the almost unanim-
Gus verdict is that there is only ono
righteous way to deal with it, and that
is to prohibit it, and closed by hoping
that ''in the sober quiet between now
and November, in the silence of DELHI
crate judgment, the prohibition ques-
ton may receive that attention at the
hands of the voters of our country
which it's Importance demands"

Pneumatic Tubes for Post Delivery II
largo Cities.
It would not be surprising, says Har'
per's Round Table, to find Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington connected by tubes, ell
abling letters and parcels to be for
warded in as many hours as it now
takes days. The telegraph companies
will he seriously affected by the new
system.
The operation is very simple. The
letters are placed in a leather tube OF
carrier, which fits snugly into the pneu'
matte tube. Then a blast of air from be-
hind, or the suction of air from the
front, or a combination of the two
methods, forces the carrier and its con-
tents forward. AS the friction sooH
wears out the leather carriers, Ame-"
lean genius will be called upon to IN
vent q metal carrier on "ball bearings.
With leather tubes about 80 per cent. c1
the power applied is lost in overcoming
friction and in waste, only ten per cent
of the total force applied being used to
propel the carrier.
The charge for sending pneumatic
letters in Paris was Is cents each in
1879, and the territory covered was but
small part of the city. To-day every
part of Paris is reached by the tubes,
and the charge is ten cents per letter,
the same as our special delivery. Nine
varieties of the Paris pneumatic letters
are collected Probably many OF the
readers have one or more of them. They
bear a map of the city on the face OF tho
envelope, showing the different sections
served by this post. The Berlin and
Vienna pneumatic letters are simpler in
design. There are no special designs on

A Novel Display

A unique display which will attract
much attention at the State Fair will
be made by the Minnesota penitentiary.
The machines which the convicts oper'
ate in making Irvine will be placed on
exhibition and there will be dummy
convicts wearing the prision suits OF
the different grades. In the Minnesota
penitentiary when a prisoner begins his
confinement he enters a middle grade.
After he had been there six months he
either grades up or down. If his behav-
Tor has been good, he wears cap and
suit that indicates that fact to all VIII"
see him. If he has been refractory it is
also shown by his striped suit. Certain
privileges are accorded prisoners who
do not break rules and and these privi-
leges are taken away from those who
misbehave.

The Recent Hot Wave and Other Fsctors
Seriously Affect Trade.
New York, Aug. 15.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
IAN extraordinary spell of deadly hot
weather has affected trade throughout the
country, and in the east speculative feel
ing was somewhat affected until Thursday
by apprehension of the possible influence of
the Bryan meeting. With cooler weather
that the meeting would not affect bust
ness unfavorably. But other conditions
were not stimulating. According to gov
eminent reports the crops have sustained
serious injuries. Labor difficulties extend,
and tho closing Of establishments for want
Of work and the refusal Of commercial
loans by banks checked operations in many
branches of industry and trade. The week
therefore closes as the last week did, with
domestic business unusually dull for the
season.
Failures for the week have been 29s in
the United States, against 1876 last year.
and Sc in Canada. against IS last year"
Bradstreet's says:
1.-THE volume of business throughout the
country is practically unchanged. New
features do not point to improvements in
prospects for fall business. Industries gen.
orally continue quiet, with more men idle
than a week ago. The most significant fea-
ture was the higher rate for money early
in the week and difficulty in obtaining
money. This disappeared with manifest
reaction against the free silver sentiment
which followed the silver demonstration
at New York August L. Mercantile col
lections are difficult to make at Charles
ton, and at Atlanta they are very poor.
Jacksonville jobbers report remittances
slow, as do those at Birmingham and In
