imented with many others, but never got
the true remedy until we used Dr. Kings
New Discovery No other remedy can
take its place in our home, as in it we
have certain and sure cure for coughs,

to experiment with other remedies, even
if they are urged on you as just as good
as Dr. Kings New Discovery. They are
not as good, because this remedy has a

In view of the sending of special
ambassadors to the jubilee and
other expressions of good will and

interesting to note that this gov

The most important dispatch bears
date of May-10-97 and is in the
form or instructions to Col. hay,
ambassador at London. This dis
patch in very polite and diplomatic
languages charges the English
government with evasion, dupli-
city, and bad faith in carrying out
the terms of the Paris award in the
Behring case. The administration
believes this dispatch will, when
made public, create as much popu-
lar approval as did Mr.. Olney's
famous Venezuelan dispatch, as it
makes out a strong case and rings
with Americanism.

Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton. The word consumption means
wasting away, and dyspeptlcs often waste
away as badly as consumptives.
The reason people waste away is be-
cause either they DONE get enough to eat,
or they don't digest what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take Shak-
er Digestive Cordial. This will help you
to digest your food and stop your loss of
flesh.

herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by

Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed consumptives (who were
really dyspeptics), by simply helping
their stomach to digest their food, thus
giving them nourishment and new
strength.

 one never having been over lava heId can form but little idea of inc ohaotlc manner in which the ingenious Workmen have left the products of their labor. The only order observed is disor- der of the most exaggerated kind. wherein every mass of rock has been twisted or raised or depressed or arched over some cavern in different way from that of its noighbors. The caves scatter. cd throughout these lava beds are of very varying shapes and dimensions. some are mere covert ways, with an arch of stone thrown over them. Others are Immense chambers some yards from the surface, another kind is sunk quite deeply and may be in a series of cham. pefd Hhlted by corridor that opens nit the surface, whilo another kind seems to go directly to the center of the earth without stopping.
 It is here that the stores of iee ara found, which is formed from water that filters ii annually from the melting snows aboEe. Every winter the lava beds arc covered with a fall of snow which varies from two to ten feet in depth. The temperature over this region ln the ooldest weather is often 20 or more degrees below zero, so that any water that might bo in the caves is frozen solid, unless the caves mouths should be entirely covered with snow. which is not often the case. Now, when spring comes and the snow melts, the water percolates through into the cold storage chambers beneath and is there congealed b- tho prevailing cold. It is in this way that the ice has been made and stored for years. And were these caves accessible to market they would furnish tho purest of ice to many cities for years to oome.-Popalar Science News.

ST. PAUL,8 ROCKS.

A Submarine Mountain In the Middle sf
 the Atlantic Ocean.
 Almost at the very center of the At lantic ocean-only a trife north of the equator and about half way between South America and Africa-is a sub marine mountain so high that, in spite Of the immense depth of tho sea, it thrusts its peak 70 feet above the waves. This peak. startling from it's position, forms q labyrinth of islots, the whole not over half mile in circumference. known as St. Pauls rocks. So steep is the mountain, of which this lonely rest ing place of sea birds is tho summit that one mile from these rocks a 500 fathom line with which soundings were at, tempted by Ross on his voyage to the Antarctic failed to touch bottom.
 Were the bed of the sea to be suddenly elevated to a level with the. dry land St. Paul's rocks would be tho cloud capped peak of a mountain rising i'll sheer ascent in the midst of broad plain. They are supposed to havo been formed by the same disturbance of na- turo which separated the Cape Verde is. lands from Africa.

HERRMANN.8 GREAT TRICK.
How He Caught Bullets Fired by Expert
 Marksmen Of the National Guard.


 How He Caught Bullets Fired by Export
 MarIssmen Of the National Guard.
 Now that Hermann tho Great is gone there can bo no harm in explaining how his wonderful trick of catching the bull lets shot at him by six national guards men was done.
 On both occasions the famous presti- digitateur stood alone upon the stage while six picked marksmen from the New York state national guard fired l point blank upon him from platform built in the audience. On both occasions Hermann, pale of face and painfully alert caught the bullets, previously marked by committee of noted army men, and handed them back hot from the barrels for identification.
 or course it was trick, but it was a | dangerous trick, and ono that Hermann disliked to do. Bat even ho was less nervous than tho marksmen, who, act ing in perfect good faith, feared that they might kill the plucky magician.
 Of course there was an aeoomplioe, and this aceompiice was not one of the marksmen, but the sergeant ill charge of them, This sergeant took tho six reg ulation army bullet cartridges on 0 sii- yer platter to tho committee.
 Tho committee examined them, made sure they were genuine. marked them plainly and replaced them on tho plat ter The sergeant instantly raised the platter i'll plain sight at arm's s length above his head, walked over to the marksmen, and they themselves each took a cartridge, examined it and placed it in the rife. Then came the shooting
 The trick lay in the platter, which had false bottom Under this bottom lay six other cartridges, idontioal in size, weight end appearance, but hold ing bullets made of a composition of pIumbago and mercury. When tho ger geant held the platter aioft, he touched a spring and by clever mechanism these six tfake7 cartridges jumped into the platter, while tho genuine cartridges disappeared beneath tho false bottom.
 Sc it was the composition cartridges that the marksmen unkowingly put into thoir rifles, and on firing this com position was instantly melted by frio- Ilou VAfGugh the DafrelS ana d1SslpaGed in tho air
 Meantime, however, tho supposedly empty platter was taken behind tho wings, where the genuine cartridges were drawn out, quickly heated and carefully placed by an attendant on a table, where Hermann, inst before the firing, oarelossly picked them up and palmod them. Holding them in bis hands during the firing, ho immediate ly produced them as the smoke cleared.
 4 simple trick, but very dangerous one, for if tho platter's mechanism fail ed to work completely one or moro of the genuine cartridges might have got into the rifles of the marksmen and taonoe into Herrmann's body.-New York Herald

Manning and the Jesuits.

Edmund S. Purcell, who wrote the biography of Cardinal Manning that was so widely discussed and in some quarters condemned, wrote paper foi Tho Nineteenth Century entitled On the Ethics of Suppression In Biogra- phy, ; in which he makes an interesting statement concerning Manning rela- tions to the Jesuits:
 Cardinal Manning could not endure -it was not in his naturc-to be looked upon by the Josuits as an "enomy oi vital eodliness. " They fcil under his ban. Motaphorically he t'cursed them with bell, book and candle In a laughing fashion their retort came quick:
 Cardinals may come, eardinnls may go
 But we go on forever
 Cardinal Manning, as IS known of all men. regarded the suppression of the Society of Jesus i'll ITS as the work O Gods hand. He likewise looked upoi it's restoration ill 1927 as Gods work, But his abiding hostility to the sIesults, based. as he declared, on their corporate action in England and Rome, was testi fed by tho prediction which he uttered m various occasions.
