THE GREAT HUXLEY.
What Huxley, the Great English sci-
enlist, Considered the Best
Start in Life.


The great English scientist, Huxley. said
the best start in life is sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly.
because they, lack the proper quantity of di-
gestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric) and
reptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of indigestion is to
take after each meal one or two of
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because they
supply in a pleasant. harmless form all the
elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will euro every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested-
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets at 80 cents, full sized package.

floor. The five floors of the big house now
occupied are filled closely, but the attrao-
tiveness of the show would be very much
increased If the coops were all on one floor
in building so arranged as to accommo-
date such an arrangement.
While the attendance yesterday and
Christmas day was large and much better
than the previous days. there ought to be
double the number of people in attendance
each day. There is enough to warrant a
trip there by every lover Of the beautiful
and such visit cannot fail to be profitable
and satisfactory.
Will BE Open To-day.
The show will be open to-day and will
continue until Tuesday evening. The at
tendance for the past two days of many
prominent society women who have in
variably been enthusiastic over the BIRDS
will probably cause a better attendance
during the remainder of the show and
chicken show parties will be given by some
of the ladies who have been there and are
anxious to take their friends where there
is SO much to be seen. that is of such an
interesting character.
The fancierS whose birds are at the show
| in token of appreciation of his hard work
for their comfort while at the show, have
presented Secretary Frank Slutz with a
handsome cane and given him other assur-
ances. of their high regard for the careful
!, attention he has given them and their
birds. His watchfulness has been con-
slant and his efforts have been valuable
! in contributing largely to the satisfaction
of the fanciers and the success of the
show. The other officers have been as
sured of the appreciation of the fanciers
and every exhibitor will talk of the great
Midcontinental show wherever he goes dur
| ing the rest of the season.

Thanksgivtng.

Another year has passed. and has brought the return of Thanksgiving day. The recent proclamatious of the president of the United States and the governors of different states mention some of the causes for thankfulness; and yet in many homes the Thanksgiving season always brings feeling of sad ness while contemplating the fact that loved ones are missing from the fireside. Memory recalls the happy days of yore with the family reunions at this season of the year; but alas, how the circle is broken. And yet those who in their younger days were happy. free from care and sad memories. but who now are old and careworn, seldom realize that their parents undoubtedly had moro or less sadness connected with Thanksgiving day. But 'twas ever thus" Life is not all sunshine, neither in all lives is there sunshine; but let us remember that ''there is silvery lining to every cloud" and let us cultivate the habit of looking on the bright side. The necrology of the year 1896 will show that tn" Great Reaper" has been uncom- monly busy; but let every individual be thankful for being spared, and also try to think of many other blessing to be thankful for.

The Brooks Win Case Ended.

The Supreme court has recently rendered its decision it the Norman Brooks will case. This case may be re- capitulated as follows: Norman Brooks, of Winsted, died leaving a will by which he left the bulk of his estate to Edgar NJ. Clossey, his son-in- law. of Winsted, in trust for his widow during her life time, the property to go to Ulossey absolutely on the death of the widow. This will was contested on the ground that it was not exectued by MT Brooks, but by somebody else, who personated him when the will was executed in the office of Warner X Lan- don at Salisbury. The Probate court, however, sustained the will and an ap- peal was taken to the Superior court. where the case was tried to a jury. The jury found that the will was e1- ecuted by Norman Brooks, but also found that the paragraphs making Clossey trustee and residuary legatee were procured by undue influence and were therefore invalid. A motion was made for new trial and denied and from this decision an appeal was taken to the Supreme court, which has now handed down decision sustaining the order of the Superior court denying the motion for new trial

Worth Reading Again.

The Religious Herald of March 15, 1894 published the International Sunday school lesson for March Is, 1894 with the Rev 0. A. Piddock's comments or explanation of the lesson. Mir Pid- docks comments are worth reading again, especially the paragraphs relating to "Intemperance. After commenting the evils of Intemperance, Mir Piddock says:
 Statistics in this case mean little, as they cannot account for heartsches and woes, but yet they may help us to form some idea of the extent of this evil. Ac- cording to our revenue reports for 1891, We spent Sl5 2S for intoxicating liquors for every man, woman and child in the United States, while our entire expenses as nation were only S5 27 per capita for 1892. The actual amount spent for drink in that year in this country was S1, ,000. SS4. 277 These figures can be found in the Boston Herald for Jan. 30, 1893. It would appear that we are spending more money to kill the people than we are to make them live.
 We are apt to give the word Temper ance a very narrow definition, and to limit 1t to abstinence from intoxicating drink. But it means much more, and includes the idea of elf-mastery. Many people who would not taste liquor, are nevertheless very incorporate in their speech and conduct They have no control over their tongues. and do a great amount of harm. Among this class are all fanatics and cranks, who are abusive of others for not thinking just as they do on every subject. Verse 2 is a vivid picture of the fear inspired by ] Oriental kings. The lesson of the verse is one of self-mastery. We may not like 1t because the king inspires fear, but We are not to be angry on this &C., count.
 The strife between neighbors is always unseemly, and the reputation of neigh borhood for gossip and meddlesomeness will injure it as 8 desirable place of resi- | dence. Any fool can be quarrelsome, and mind every body's business but his own. But people of culture and refine ment and true piety have no time to at tend to the affairs of others, unless they can be of help. The disposition of the man of education is to keep aloof from | all contention, and the ttle-braiued man is the one who is sure to be con. stantly in trouble, on account of shal lowness. Two CUTS in & community be- gin to growl and snsrl at each other. and forthwith all the CUTS in the neighbor. hood commence to snarl and growl iu concert, and the result is an unearthlv din. A hornet will break up camp meeting. and one fool who is meddle- some will be able to break the friend ship of years. It is better to keep sloof | from strife.
