Ones physical feelings, like the faithful
setter, search and point out plainly the
fact of disease or health.
If a man is not feeling we'll and vigorous
if he is losing flesh and vitality, if he is
Hstless, nervous, sleepless, he certainly is
not well. The down hill road from health
to sickness is smooth and declines rapidly.
At the first intimation of disease, the
wise man takes a pure, simple vegetable
tonic 1t puts his digestion into good ac-
tive order and that puts the rest of his
body in order. The medicine that will do
this is a medicine that is good to take in
any trouble of the blood, the digestion, or
the respiration, no matter how serious 1t
may have become.
The medicine to take is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery 1t is remark
able remedy. 1t cures diseases in a per-
fectly natural way, without the use OF
strong drugs. II cures by helping Nature.
1t has peculiar tonic effect on the lining
By putting these membranes into healthy
condition, stimulating the secretion of the
various digestive juices and furnishing to
the blood the proper purifying properties.
1t reaches out over the whole body and
drives disease germs before it into the
usual excretory channels. 1t builds up
FIRM muscular flesh, makes the skin and
The eyes bright.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has been found wonderfully effcacious in
the treatment of skin diseases eczema,
letter, erysipelas, salt>rheum-from COM
mon pimples or hlotches to the worst case
Of scrofula.

Household Gods.

The ancient Greeks believed that the
Penates were the gods who attended
to the welfare and prosperity of the
family. They were wOrshipped as
household gods in every home. The
household god of today is DR.. Kings
New Discovery. For consumption,
coughs, colds and for all affections of
Throat, Chest and Lungs it is invalu-
able. 1t has been tried for quarter
of a century and is guaranteed to cure
or money returned. No household
should be without this good angel. 1t
is pleasant to take and a safe and sure
remedy for old and young. Free trial

Stanley Never Heard of 1t.

"Several weeks ago in London, T"
said an English tourist, 81 was
standing beside an American ac-
qualntance. when | expressed a
wish to know which point was the
north. He pulled out his watch
and pointed out the right direction.
| asked him whether he had a
compass attached to his watch.
Cali watches are compasses," he
replied. Then he explained to me
how this was. Point the hour
hand to the sun, and the south is
exactly halfway between the hour
and the figure XII, on the dial.
For instance, suppose it is 4
o'clock. Point the hand Indicating
d to the sun, and ii. on the watch
is exactly south. Suppose again
that it is again that 1t is eight
o'clock. Point the hand indicating
8 to the sun, and the figure X. or
the dial is due south.
My American friend seemed sur
prised that | did not know this
and not wanting to be left alone il

Stanley, whom | met the following

Birds of PIumape.

Louisiana women have an
Audubon organization whose pur-
pose to erect a memorial in bronze
or marble to the the great natural
ist whose home was once in our
neighbor county, Henderson.
Recent New Orleans dispatches
say that the Audubon societies are
spreading and that in the name Of
Audubon the American women are
putting in force a movement to
prevent the wholesale slaughter
of the little feathered friends that
Audubon loved so well. The
members OF these societies will
wear only ostrich and cocks feath-
ers in their hats.
The work of Audubon deserves
to be commemorated, surely, and
this memorial work can become a
signal triumph for the naturalist
and his feathered friends when
consummated by the American
women, who have been, I'M
thoughtedly, dire enemies to our
birds OF plumage.

Value of the Rich.
Manufacturers, Record !

In an address at the opening OF
the ID. o. Mills Model Home for
poor men in New York, Hon. Abram
S. Hewitt. talking TO the subject.of
millionalres as benefactors, cited
the case Of Sir Henry Bessemer as
an illustration. He said:
Mr. Bessemer is worth, perhaps. $Io.-
600, 900. That of course. is away above
the average of individual requirement, but
it is only a small part of the wealth which
Mr. Bessemer's invention has conferred
upon man, directly and indirectly | think
it a conservative estimate to put the money
value of Bessemer's contribution to the
world at large at not less than 81, 600. 600,
600 A railroad man like MIR. Depew can
appreciate the vast saving which this sim
gle invention Of steel making has brought
about
The process invented by Mr..
Bessemer, which reduced by 500
per cent, the cost of making steel,
made the millions for the inventor,
and rightly, too; but, at the same
time, the whole world was much
more the gamer.
Discomfort is not prone usually
to take this view of wealth. 1t for
gets that the living of large mass
of humanity is dependent upon the
existence of aggregated capital, with
its opportunities for economic adj
ninistration of great enterprises;
that in the nature of things it is
impossible for everybody to be an
and that brains and
Drawn are just as much capital as
cash and credit.
A little careful consideration of
ew elementary facts in connection
with the project of Mr.. Mills should
the reasonable man that
are after all some value

re comparatively scarce.

sunshine In Religion.

Sunshine has its uses in making our
religion what IL should be--a thing Of
brightness There is danger Of making
IL too cold and gloomy. God did not in
tend it to be thus. 1t is difficult mat
ter, at any rate, TO induce men TO accept
religion, and il they are left under the
impression that when they unite with
the church they are going into the sun
less and gloomy region Of an arctic land
IL will make IL all the more difficult to
induce them TO choose the better part
Let Joy, brightness, geniality, tempered
by the spirit of Jesus, characterize our
religion, and these persons will lay hold
of 1t with earnestness. Let us make use
of sunshine everywhere. Do cares come,
let us go at them with sunshiny hearts.
They will soon melt away under its
power. II Affections come, nothing will
so brighten the siokbed as sunshine. Is
the home darkened by the shadow OF
death? Sunshine will tighten it and
show us the golden stairway up which
our departed have gone. Sunshine, sun
shine everywhere-in the world, in the
home, in the church. There Is joy and
brightness in heaven. Why should II be
wanting here?-Christian Register.

days, and why not more men more
thankful for such precious bless
ings from the Father of Lights?
Blessings poured out on the good
and on the evil, Our God has not
forgotten a single soul. The man,
If good, has received blessings, and
the evil ones have been cared for
and protected; and while your past
may not have been blest as you
would like, yet | am sure you will
agree with me that it might have
been worse, and now as the Lord
has not forsaken you in the past
year in His name do not forsake
Him today, but gather with his
people and worship God, asking
Him to make you better man in
the future than you have ever been,
and then when the day is gone,
you, no doubt, will feel nearer God,
heaven and home than you have
ever been before.
That our devotion may be right
and our communion with God
sweet, let us take the following
words from the hymn on commun-
ion with God, which will strengthen
us for his service:
Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream
In earnest pleading flows:
Devotion dwells upok the theme.
And warm and warmer CLOVIS.
Faith grasps the blessings she desires:
Hope points the upward gaze
And Love, celestial Love. inspires
The eloquence of praise.
