Display in Chicago That is Diverse
and Unique in Its Character.


III 4 show window on State street a
unique display has been attracting
crowds from morning until night. The
usual contents Of the window are of an
artistic nature, and form an effective
background for a most interesting col
lection of horseshoes dating back to
the seventeenth century There have
evidently been great changes i'm this
common article. and to horsemen, es-
pecially, the history of the horseshoe
must be interesting, while to the casual
observer it is amusing. There is one
collection which includes the shoes Of
all of the winners in the English Der
by, with their Colors tied on to the
shoes, and all mounted together on a
plaque. This makes a central figure,
around which are scattered in most
effective contrast the oldest and the
most modern in wild confusion, show
ing the great differences in the shapes
! and sizes of shoes in the various cOun-
tries, even in the same epochs, and de-
| signed for the best help to the horse in
various soils and for various purposes.
The great wooden blocks with iron
| balls which fit over the ordinary shoe
of the horses which are driven across
the bogs of Ireland, are almost as i'm
mense as q snOWshOe on the ski of the
northern countries, ana must be as ef-

TERESTlNG EXPERIMENTS WITH
THE NEW STOMACH REMEDY.
Not Patent Medicine but a Safe Cure
for All Forms Of Indigestion.

The results of recent investigation
have established, beyond question, the
great value of the new preparation for
Indigestion and stomach troubles; 1t
is composed Of the digestive acide, pep
sin. bismuth, Golden Seal and similar
stomachics, prepared in the form of
90 grain lozenges pleasant to the taste,
convenient to carry when travelling,
harmless to the most delicate stomach,
and probably the safest, most effectual
cure yet discovered for indigestion,
sour stomach, loss of appetite and
flesh, nausea, sick headaches, palpita-
ton of heart, and the many symptoms
arising from imperfect digestion of
food. They cure because they cause
the food to be promptly ana thorough

Oranges.

The very sweetest orange and richest
is the black or rusty coated fruit. Pick
out the dingiest oranges in the box, and
you will get the best Another way to
choose oranges is by weight. The heav-
lest are the best, because they have the
thinnest skin and more weight of juice.
Thick skinned oranges are apt to be dry.
They either weigh less because of hav-
ing SO much skin or because of the pow
erty of the juice in these particular
specimens A slight freezing on the
tree causes this condition in otherwise
fine.fruit. The "kid glove" oranges are
the two varieties Of small fruit grown
in Florida from stocks respectively
brought from China and from Tangier.
They are called mandarin and tanger-
inc. They may be eaten without soiling
a kid glove, because the skin is loose
and the little '.goEes, y or pockets of
juice, come apart very clearly and with
out breaking. All the above applies to
Florida oranges. The Jamaica and Ha-
vana oranges are much paler yellow,
and their juice is usually of more acid
quality than the home grown oranges.

The Profits of Monte Carlo.

The merchant whose losses are the re-
suit of untoward and unforeseen changes
in the market receives sympathy and
help, but what bank or private friend
will advance money to a gambler? The
betting man who has staked his last
shilling and lost it is pronounced a fool
and has put himself beyond the reach
of practical compassion. The sharper
who has feeced him has neither graft
tude nor pity. He uses his victim as the
butt of his ridicule. And the victim
himself, who has rished his money on
mere chance, or on baseless information,
or on fraudulent representations, freely
pronounces himself a fool, judging him
self in the light Of the issue. To fancy
that we shall be exceptions and win
where others have lost, that we shall be
the solitary lucky ones among the thou
sands unlucky, is a folly to which we
are all liable, but it is none the less a
folly.
1t is stated that the winnings of the
table or bank at Monte Carlo last year
amounted to $500, 000-that is to say,
this was the net sum lost by those who
played. Yet each gambler who stakes
his little pile fancies he will be the one
to win. There are some thousands of
bookmalzers in our own country. Out of
whose pockets do they pick SO comfort
able living? Out of the pockets of
their dupes, who so bountifully contrib
ute to the maintenance of their worst
enemies.-Good Words.

The Word .sgoast. /,

The word Toast, - used for describ-
ing the proposal of health in an after
dinner speech, dates back to medieval
times, when the loving cup was still re-
garded as an indispensable feature of
every banquet. The cup would be filed
to the brim with wine or mead, in the
center Of which would be floating a
piece of toasted bread. After putting his
lips thereto the host would pass the cup
to the guest of honor seated on his right
hand, and the latter would in turn pass
it TO his right hand neighbor. In this
manner the cup would circulate around
the table, each one present taking a
sip, until finally the cup would come
back to the host, who would drain what
remained and swallow the piece of toast
in honor of all the friends assembled at
his table,
