stomach. Frequently he doesn't even
know whether the thing he eats is going
to agree with him or not. The things that
please his palate most are often the worst
for him to eat. Even the simplest food is
likely to cause him misery and sleeplesS-
ness. His first trouble was very slight
very simple-very easy to cure. He ate
something indigestible and 1t stuck some
place in his digestive system. He ate more
things and they stuck. Part of his diges-
ton stopped altogether-that is constipa-
ton.
Constipation is so common that more
than half the people in America are troub-
led with 1t. 1t Is so serious that nine
tenths of the sickness of the world is
traceable directly to this common cause.
A mans health and strength depend upon
what he gets out of his food. This depends
on his digestion. Constipation stops diges-
ton. Anybody can see that. The COM
monest kind of common sense will tell
you that When digestion stops, nutrition
stops, and the whole body is thrown out
of order.
The way to start digestion is to remove
the obstruction. The way to do that Is to
take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
are a positive cure for constipation and
its attendant ills = headaches, sour stom-
ach, fatulence, dizziness, biliousness and
heartburn" They are. very gentle in
their action. They simply assist nature.
They give no violent wrench to the system.
They cause no pain, nor gripping, nor DIS
comfort of any kind.

coin in "a bag On telling the lady OF
the house she burst into tears and faint

wild, of stealing it, with the result that
he had left the house in indignation and
had never returned.

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 o longed for rest:
She who has fought the prize to win
For a 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.

Couleur de Rose.

There is story told Of an English
woman whose husband was i'll politics,
and who was in consequence obliged
to entertain numerous people in whom
she not only felt no possible interest,
but many Of whom were absolutely dis
tasteful to her. 1t was exceedingly try
ing at times, this being forced to vel
come unwelcome visitors with show
Of cordiality, but subtle plan of re-
venge, which would at the same time
afford her amusement, finally occurred
to her. At the next large dinner that
she and her husband gave the room was
lighted by little electric lights with
colored globes, which were suspended
from the ceiling and hung above the ia
BILE in big circle. Upon such of the
guests as had been the lady's choice a
soft, rosy light was cast, making men
and women alike appear at their best,
while here and there CHASTITY green rays
fell upon some unfortunate constituent
of her husband who was too much i'm
pressed by the magniiicence Of the feast
to have any thought for his or her APP
pearance.

Birds In Egypt.


1t is delightful to note the tameness
of the birds Of Egypt. They enter rooms
and houses through windows and crew
ices left for ventilation, and once inside
hop fearlessly about the floor picking
up stray crumbs. A sparrow often perch
es on the corner of the table during the
progress of q crowded hotel repast, and
it is not uncommon to see them fitting
across the ceiling of drawing room at
Luxor. All birds, from the largest to
the smallest, go unmolested unless they
are definitely used for food. The great
brown kite sits fearlessly ON the roofs
of Cairo, hard by his cousin, the crow,
which is not black, like our crow, but
is black and gray, and might easily be
mistaken for a pigeon. Every large gar
den--at any rate in upper Egypt--has
its owl frequenting a tall palm tree
and hooting or whistling as nature
guides it, Exchange

Now, one of the first questions have
been asked in regard to these rays is
this, !'How did you obtain light SO in
tense that you could take photographs
through board an inch thick?'' The
answer is this; The light is not intense
to the eye. 1t does not appear as bright
as that of FREELY. Indeed it cannot BIO
seen on the darkest night at distance
Of 800 feet Yet candle can be dis
tinguished on a similar night at least

tirely cut off from Photographic plate

rays are intense, however, to the photo

GOLD FLOWS INTO TREASURY.
Threatened Panic il Bryan Had Been EIectt d
Averted by Restoration Of Confidence.

Washington, Nov. S.-The result of
the election has relieved the minds of
Secretary carlisle and his subordinates
in the treasury department of load of
anxiety. Had it been otherwise there
is little doubt that panic would have
followed that would have drained the
treasury of it's last dollar of gold and
brought the country to a silver basis
in advance of the enactment of the
free coinage bill to which Mr.. Bryan
and his supporters were pledged.
An improvement began the morning
after election. Gold began to flow into
the treasury and the sub-treasuries,
and at the close of business. today. the
gold balance on the books of the treas
ury amounted to $11S.414.514, a gain Of
$4,000, 900 since election day. In New
York the offers were larger than the
counting force could handle, and in
boston, Baltimore and other sub
treasures the supply of legal tender
notes was not sufficient to meet the de-
mands or all who offered gold in ex-
change. - s','
A decided improvement is also looked
for in the receipts of the treasury as a
result Of the restoration of confidence.
The Wilson law has never been tested
with the business of the country in a
normal condition. The friends of this
law, however, maintain that it will
raise ample revenues for the support of
the country IL there is a return of bus
mess prosperity. If these expectations
are borne out there will ne no neces-
sity for the revision of the tariff.
There win undoubtedly be efforts on
the part of extreme protectiOnists to
restore the Mckinley rates, but this
will meet the opposition not only of
Democrats. but of conservative Repub-
licans. and with the Senate closely di-
vided the conservative men may be
able to keep tariff legislation withint he
limits made necessary by the expendi-
lures of the government.
