 disorders of the digestive organs, nine tenths of the medical books in the world could be safely destroyed. Not only the minor maladies, but the majority of serious diseases have their inception in disorder ed digestion. Consumption is undoubtedly the most deadly enemy with which man. kind has to contend. Like all other vast ing diseases, it has its origin in disorders of the digestive organs. As result of these disorders, the appetite falls off; the life-giv- ing elements of the food are not properly assinilated; the blood becomes thin and inl- pure; and all the tissues of the body are im-s perfectly and improperly nourished; the lungs become clogged with inert, half dead tissues that offer an attractive soil for the invasion of the germs of consumption. It has been said thousands of times that con. sumption is incurable. It is not. -t Ninety eight per cent of all cases of con- sumption are cured by pr. Pieree's Golden Medical Discovery. It corrects all disorders of the digestive organs, invigorates the liver and makes the appetite keen and the assim- ilation perfect; it makes new blood, pure blood, and lots of it. It builds new and healthy tissue. It is the great fieslr-builder. It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and disease germs. Thousands have testified to its merits. All good drug gists keep it.

Japanese Pockets.

Japanese folks, says traveller in
that country, have six or eight
pockets cunningly inserted in the
cuffs of their wide sleeves. These
pockets are always filled with lot
of things that would surprise any
one who took a dip-in one Of them.
Among the things they carry are
the prayers which the priests COM
pose, and which are written out on
little squares Of rice paper. They
carry plenty of these pocket prayers,
for they use them like medicine. If
they feel distressed in mind or body
they whip out prayer and swallow
It, paper and all, confident that they
will feel better at once. Their hand
kerchiefs are Of paper, too, small
squares again of silky paper, and
they use these for various things,
never using one but once. AS soon
as it has done one service, wiping
out a teacup drying a tear, or what
it may be, it is thrown away.-New

More Money In Circulation.

If there was any actual relation be-
tween the quantity of money III circula-
tion and national prosperity, we would
now be on food tide. For more than
twelvemonth now the amount of mon
ey in circulation in the United States
has been steadily on the increase. July
1, 1895, about the time the Chicago
platform was in the process of incuba-
ton and the mouth Of the popocrat was
full of demands for more of the circu-
lating medium, the total money in cir
culation in the United States was ST.
500, 725, 900, making $21.1 per capita
on an estimated population of $780,
900.
Nov. /, 1896, on the eve Of the cleo
tion, when the people of the United
States were to give their verdict against
debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was $1,6S7, 055,-
GA, making $22. So per capita on an es-
timateG population Of 71,902,000.
March 1, 1897, on the eve of McKin-
ley's Inauguration, the total money in
circulation in the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum of ST.
675. 694, 953, making $23. ID per capita
on an estimated population of 72,418,-
O00
To fully appreciate this increase of
the money in circulation in the United
States it is only necessary to say that
in the last ten months. it amounted to
$165, 900, 753, or more than So per cap
tia of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high water marks
the per capita circulation is still 81. 80
below that of 1899, just before the pam
ic. But the per capita is now higher
than it was in 1890 or any year in the
history of the republic prior to that.
Then why are the times not as good as
they were along in the late eighties?
Simply because good times depend on
public confidence. and industrial activ
ity, and not on the amount of money in
circulation. This is simply the teaching
of the old proverb that a nimble six
pence is better than slow shilling
