Gludness Comes

With better understanding of tina
w transient nature of the many phys.
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated cOndi-
ton Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get It's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, 3
may be commended to the most sl<illful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infOrmede everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
sedand gives moso general satisfaction

Two Strong Sermons.

| Rev. DIR. j. B. MCGehee, the presid-
| ing elder of this district, occupied the
! pulpit of the Methodist church Sunday
morning and night, and preached two
| powerful sermons to large COngrega-
tiOns. Although Dr. MCGehee has
been in the ministry nearly fifty years,
and his head has grown frosted in the
service of the Master, he is still active
in body and mind, and promises to en-
| Tighten and benefit the people for many
years yet with his vigorous thought.
When they put a man in Jail he can
not follow his natural inclinatiOns. He
cannot eat when he wants tO-he is linn
tied to very frugal diet Is it not
equally true of dyspeptic? For all of
| the real enjoyment he gets out of life he
! might as well be in Jail. He cannot eat
! what he likes nor enough. He suffers
much, gets little sympathy. At first,
| perhaps, little heavness in the stom-
ach, little sourness, windy belchings
and heartburn; headaches and bilious
ness and foul taste in the mouth IN the
morning. Chronic constipation is almost
inevitable, and means that the body is
; holding poisonous, impure matter that
should be gotten rid of. The poison is
reabsorbed into the blood and the whole
body. Impurity in the blood may lead
to almost any disease. Constipation is
the start of it all. Dr.. Pierce's Pleasan!
Pellets cure constipation; cure it so it
stays cured. No other remedy in the
world will do that.

An Easy Gnlne Genins.

The one out and out genius the writer
knows lives down IN Ohio. Anything he
wants and cannot buy he inyents. Any
thing in the market that he needs, II it be
"a manufactured article and costs moro
than he cares 60 pay, he makes. He is em-
ployed by one of the large establishments
in his section Of his country. He Just
wanders about at his own sweet will,
making an improvement here and there on
the engines that he invented and keeping
them just a little in advance of all com
petitors.
When his investigating turn Of mind
suggested tho desirability Of his having a
telescope, he went to Pittsburg to get it,
The price was too high, and he notified the
house that he would go home and make
one. He was answered by an incrodulous
laugh, but he did perfect every detail ex-
Cept the lenses in "a way to put previous
efforts 20 the blush. The result of his Sec
ond trip was to learn that the lenses com
prised ths chief item of cost in a telescope.
He could get no reduction and again served
notice that he would go homo and mako
what he wanted. The idea was secuted,
but this genius carried it out and incidon-
tally invented the finest method Of grinding
lenses that has ever been known,
To please ono of his children he pro.
duced the first automatic piano and the
first machine to grind ont music from a

HAS THE PRIEST FLED ?


Report Circulated That Father NIachni-
kowslSi Sailed for Europe.
The Mt Carmel Star says a report just
tauspires to the effect that Father Machnik-
owski, recently installed as pastor of St.
Joscph's Polish church Of Mt. Carmel, has
set sail for Europe, and that he has left
several creditors in these parts who will sadly
rue his departure.
The report comes from Shamokin. where
Father Machnikowski for a long time served
the Polish Catholic church prior to his
removal to Mt. Carmel According
to the statement Of several persons
who claim to know positively the priest
went from Mt Carmel to Philadelphia,
and shortly afterwards to New York city.
He is said to have set sail on an ocean
steamer for Europe on Monday of last week,
just in time to olude the presence Of pursu-
ing creditor who arrived upon the ocean
shore just as the vessel was loosenng from its
mooriug. John Kulick one Of Mt. CARMEL S
citizens, was one of the priests closest
friends and had endorsed him at different
times for considerable sums Of money. Some
color of truth is lent to the report by the
admissions of Father Machnikowski before
his departure from town that he was in
staightened financial difficulties.
There are many Of Father Machuikowski's
friends who will not believe the report, cs-
pecially iu view Of the fact that the priest
before he left secured from Bishop Nc
Govern a leave of absence for three months
Oh the representation that he needed rest
and was physically unable to attend to the
many unerous pastoral duties devolying upon
him.
