BIsMARCK'S BOOK COMES HIGH Fl.
No American Publisher Able TO Pay
the Price for His Memoirs.
Philadelphia Times.

Bismarck holds himself at high figure
in a literary way, as some of The American
publishers are finding out. II looked
last summer as If at least one nf the
American editors in Europe would bring
back a contract for the American rights
10 the Iron ChanCellor's memoirs. In
fact, it was said that one OF the New
York magazines had secured these rights
Now it appears, however, that the whole
matter of American rights is off, al least
for The present. A high as $50 600 was
bid for the privileges of the American
publication of the memoirs offered. But
this was not enough. and as neither pub
Usher nor editor can be found sufficiently
daring 10 increase the amount, the matter
remains statu quo. 1t will require at
leaS; $4,000 more Ia induce Bismarck's
Berlin agent TO say yes to an American
issua nee Of his chiefs work Aud even
then the publication cannot be made until
after death, and some time after at that
Furthermore, only the smaller portion OF
ihe work is finished-not more than enough
for two octave volumes, while the work
will extend To six at least. From '>(lis
il is not very likely that the American
people will read whatever Bismarck has
chosen OF may choose TO write for some
time To come. That much is certain.

The doctrine explained that 1t had, been
maltreated by the persons in the Chamber
and elected from the premises.
"Singularr' mused the inhabitant "I

MARRIED EIGHTY YEARS.
Remarkable Record of u Couple in
the West.
Chicago Record.

SuiCa&O htcbEu.
The oldest living couple in the United
states beyond 4 doubt have for the past
rorty-two years resided within three
miles of Elack River Falls, Wis. Louis
and Amelia Darwin were born in the
province or Ontario, no; far from Montreal,
l7SS, or one year before the Inaugural
ton OF the first President of the United
states. The wife was born at La Pero's
Isle. on March II, 1874, and is now past
her one hundred and first year. The aged
people are descendants from 4 race which
for many generations was noted for re-
markable longevity.
Eighty years have passed since they were
joined in wedlock, and a family of twelve
children was the fruit of their marriage.
Five are still living in this vicinity, rang
ing from seventy to fifly-four years. The
Oldest child, were he living today, would
be seventy-nine years old.
For thirty years Grandma Darwin was
totally blind Strange and Incredible as it
may seem, in her ninety-ninth year she re-
covered her second sight and was able TO
distinguish her children. Yet during the
period OF her blindness she performed her
household duties without any assistance.
The old gentleman has been a remarkable
man. When he was one hundred years old
he could dance Jig equal to a dancing
master, but the past four years he has
gradually wasted away, until today he is
but shadow OF his former helf.

The blood is thin, impure, aud circuia-
ton poor simply because it is replenished
from this mass of fermen:iag, baif digestsd
food. This condition OF the stomach can not
continue very long without deranging the
nervous system, the kidneys, heart, liver or
lungs. Whichever is weakest Will break
down first.
Pure blood, strong nerves and muscles,
firm, healthy flesh can only come from
wholesome food well digested. blood
purifiers and nerve tonics' do not reach
the cause of the mischief. The stomach is
the point to be locked after. The safest
and surest way to cure any form of indi-
gestion is to take after each meal seine
harmless preparation which Will of Itself

alton OF this kind composed OF vegetable
essences, pure pepsin. Golden Seal ard

ONE CHRISTIAN DUTY.

''When it becomes q Christian duty to
take care of our health, Is not the whole
tendency toward long life? II toss my
watch about recklessly, and drop 1t on the
pavement, and wind it up any time of day
or night happen to think OF it, and often
let 1t run down, while you are careful with
your watch, and never abuse 1t, and wind
1t up at just the same hour every night,
and put 1t in a place where 1t will not
suffer from the violent changes OF atmo--
phere, which watch will last the longer?
Common sense answers. Now, the
human body is Gods watch. You see the
hands OF the watch. you see the face Of
the watch; but the beating Of the heart is
the ticking of the watch. Oh, be careful
and do not let 1t run down!
Again, / remark that pra ctical re-
ligion is friend OF long life, in the fact
hat ii is 4 protest against all the dissipa-
lions which iniure and destroy the health.
Bad men and women live a very short life.
Their sins kill them. ! know hundreds
