The Human Body

The human body is an epitome in
nature of all mechanics, all hydraulics,
all architecture, all machinery of every
kind. There are more than three hun
dred and ten mechanical movements
known to mechanics today, and all of
these are but notifications of those
found In the human body. Here are
found all the bars, levers, joints, pull
leys, pumps, pipes,w heels and axles,
ball and socket movements, beams,
girders, drusses, buffers, arches, col
umns, cables and supports known to
science. At every point mans best me-
chanical work can be shown to be but
adaptations of processes of the human
body, revelation of first principles

The Stomach Cannot Be Freiphted

With greater trash than violent drastic
purgative True, such a medicine relieves
constipation for the time but at the ex-
pense of great injury to the intestinal
canal, which it both inflames and weak
ems, thus uniting it for the performance
of its proper functions. Widely different is
the action of Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
a tonic aperient which produces effects
prompt, indeed, but never violent and con-
vulsing. The purity of its botanic ingre-
dents. its unobjectionable flavor, it's genial
influence upon the mind. and the thorough
ness of its remedial action in cases of con-
stipation. liver complaint and dyspepsia
combine to render it a most desirable fam
lily specific. 1t increases both physical
vigor and substance, tranquilizes and in
vigorates the nervous system and gives an
unwonted relish for the food. A wine
glass three times daily is about the average
dose.

TRUE TO HIS ALMA MATER
How "Horse" Edwards Died at
Princeton

| Inc gay commencement OF Princeton
university was interrupted by the mos
pathetic spectacle that has ever beer
seen within the walls of Old Nassau or
graduation days. 1t was the funera
services of DR.. George F. Edwards, who
was considered the most popular grad
uate of the university since he obtained
his diploma in 1889.
DR.. Edwards was a college wag. He
was alive to the pranks of the '"horse
players" and early in his college course
he earned the sobriquet Of Horse" Ed
wards.
DR.. Edwards realized last fall that his
end was near. He had gone to the Pa
cific slope in quest of health, but without
success.
II shall probably die next spring." said
he to his friends. But desire to pass
away in old East College, where ]
roomed in Princeton. I want to see one
more Yale game, and attend another
Ivy dinner, then shall be happy"
So it happened that Horse" Edwards
arrived in Princeton shortly after the
middle Of last week. Then Horse" was
happy. The dinner of the Ivy club, the
famous eating club of Princeton, OF
which DR.. Edwards was member was
held on Friday night in its beautiful
house. The Horse" was there, propped
up in a big armchair in a room adjoin-
ing the banquet hall, so that he could
hear all that was being said and listen
to the speeches. He was so emaciated
that he did not desire to sit at the table
for fear his presence would mar the din
ner. AS the night wore on and it was
near the time that the sufferer should
be in bed, he was taken into the dinner
hall. The Ivy men rose to their fee.
and gave him cheer after cheer. DR..
Edwards managed to find sufficient
strength to arise and make his final
speech to the Ivy club members.
This is the last time shall be with
you," he said. Il urge upon you all to
be loyal to your university. How many
pleasant hours I have passed here. The
scenes now come back to me- and how
thankful I am for the associations Of
the past. So good night and farewell. i
That night he wrote letter to a negro
boy whom he had befriended and given
an education. Next he sent a farewell
letter to the Ivy club members and dis
posed of his estate. He leaves nearly all
of his fortune, estimated at S15OOOO to
Princeton university The Ivy club also
will receive bequest, while small
legacy is left to the negro boy whom he
educated.-New York dispatch
