A PECULIAR REMEDY
Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev F. l. Bell, highly esteemed
minister. residing in Weedsport, Cayuga
county, New York, in recent letter writes
as follows: There has never been anything
that 1 have taken that has relieved the dys-
pepsIa from which / have suffered for
ten years except the new remedy called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking
them 1 have had no distress at all after
eating, and again after long years can sleep
well. Rev. F. 1. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y,
formerly Idalia, Col.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is a remark
able remedy, not only because it is a GER
tain cure for all forms of indigestion, but
because it seems to act as thoroughly in old
chronic cases of dyspepsia well in
mild attacks of Indigestion or biliousness.
A person has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is overworked, all it wants is a
harmless. vegetable remedy to digest the
food and thus give it the much needed rest.
This is. the secret OF the success of this
peculiar remedy No matter how weak or
how much disordered the digestion may be,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the
food whether the stomach works or not.
New life and energy is given not only to
the stomach but to every organ and nerve
cine will convince the most skeptical that
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be
cured. The tablets are prepared by the Stu
art Chemical Company, of Marshall Mich,
but so popular has the remedy become that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can now be OBJ
tanned at any drug store at so cents per
package. Send for book on stomach dis
eases free.

IGNORANT OF LITERATURE,

Could Not Keep Accounts.
New York Evening Post.

A number of the answers given by can
didates at civi-servce examinations at
Chicago recently have been published
When the titles of certain well-known books
were given to the applicants for minor
places in city offices with the request that
they give the names of the authors some
very startling information was elected. The
following are only a few of the brilliant
combinations: ." The Vicar of Wakefield
was written by Hobart c. Chatfield-Taylor;' -
=" Lucille was written by Camille DAr-
vile;" " The Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table was written by Oliver Cromwell;"
" The Rise of the Dutch Republic was
written by William Penn" "'Charles
- Malley' was written by Benjamin Frank
lin. also by Shakespeare and Hamlet
- Tom Browns Schooldays at Rugby was
written by Longfellow; =" Much Ado
About Nothing was written by Daniel
Webster . Don Quixote was written by
George Eliot" also by Robert Burns. Vol
iare and Longfellow; " Poor Richards AL
Les Miserables' was written by f. p
Roe" also by Huxley. Tennyson and VII
tam Cullen Bryant: . The Count of Monte
Nristo was written by Marion Crawford; -
'Childe Harolds Pilgrimage was written
oy Charles Dickens also by Herbert Spen-
er; Uncle Toms Cabin was written by
Shakespeare" The Last of the Mohicans
VAS written by Helen Hunt Jackson" also
~ Shakespeare; The Scarlet Letter was
written by The Duchess" When one has
cad the foregoing one is not surprised t.
earn that one candidate described Mark
twain as a French writer of the nineteenth
entury and Richard Wagner as an Amer
lean poet.

THE SHREW MOUSE,


Some Queer Superstitious About n Harm
less Little Animal.
The shrew, or shrew mouse, as it is
commonly called, is found in nearly ali
parts of the world. 1t is distinguished
by an elongated. pointed muzzle, small
eyes, plantigrade, six toed feet and
glands that secrete musky fluid. AL
together it closely resembles a mouse,
but it is really not related % the mouse
family.
When at home, it is either under O
pile Of rubbish or in q hole which IL
has burrowed in the earth. 1t is noctur-
nal in its habits, but perfectly harm.
less, yet at one time it was much dis
liked and prosecuted because 1t was
thought to be a dangerous, mischievous
animal Among the Italians the notion
was prevalent that the bite Of a shrew
was extremely poisonous The French
and the English believed that if shrew
ran over an animals foot the animal
felt great pain and eventually became
paralyzed Hence if horse, COW or 6
goat became little stiff in its limbs
the foolish people at once declared it
"shrew struck, and the poor shrews
had to suffer in consequence.
OF course the "shrew struck" animal
had to have something to cure it, 30 al
ash tree was selected and deep hole
was bored into its trunk Then shrew
was captured, put alive into the hole,
the hole was securely plugged and the
innocent little animal was left to die Of
starvation.
The ignorant believed that after such
an act, the ash tree had power to cure
'tshrew struck" animals, and whenever
an animal became inactive Gu little
numb in its limbs its owner hurried tc
the "shrew ash, cut switch from il
and switched the "shrew struck" beast.
The smarting caused by the switching
naturally made the helpless animal
move about as much as it possibly could,
and il short time it was pronounced
cured. Philadelphia Times.
