THEY RIDICUlE IT,
Many People Rdcule the Idea of an Absolute Cure For Dyspepsia and Stomach Troubles- RidcuIe, However, is no Argument, and Facts Are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and in many casss so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi- gestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being hum- bugged, especially on medicines.
 This fear of being humbugged may be carr.ed too far; so far, in fact, that many persons suffer for years with weak digestion rather than risk little time and money in faithfully testing the claims of a preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Now stuaet's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medicines for the reason that they are not secret pait- ent medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients but analysis shows them to contain the natural dgestive fermens, pure aseptlc pepsLn, the digs stive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrast.s and nux. Tey are not cathartic, neither do they act powerfully on any organ, but they cure indigestion on' the common sense plan of dfgesting the food eaten promptly, thoroughly before 1t has time to ferment sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills nsver have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely upon the bowels whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af- ter meals, digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food not digssted or half dlgested is poison as it creates gas, acidlty, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite, and many other troubles which are often called by some other name
 They are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per package. Address Stuart Co.,. Marshall, Mich, for book on stom- ach diseases or ask your druggist for it. 11-17-19-21StwlSly

ETA tons burden. NJ. Bazin hopes in time to build steamer large enough to cross the Atlantic. Meanwhile, he has been trying the experimental steamer. The Ernest Bazin has six floats or wheels; her length is 131 meters, and breadth 39 ms ters. On the deck are the cabins, saloons, machinery and boilers. The whole idea pursued in the construction of-the vessel has been the reduction of friction with consequent increase of speed at minimum of expense and effort, by rolling through the water in- stead of cutting through it. Each of the rollers has displa cement of about folt5-- five or fortysix tons. The rollers serve, it will be seen, not only as part of the means of propulsion, but also take the place of the hull in an ordinary vessel The transatlantic liner which Ak Bazin proposes to build is to have four of these wheels instead of three, as in the expe- rimental steamer. The shafts for mak- ing the wheels revolve pass below and across the platform, and, like the wheels are of steel. M. Bazin argues that in or der to obtain a maximum rate of speed there must be a corresponding relation between the rotary force and the pro-
 
 with two independent sets of engines one to drive the rollers, and the other to propel the vessel forward by means of screw. Among other advantages claimed for the vessel may be mentioned the small amount Of rolling and the ease with which repairs to the hull can be attended to, docking being unneces- sary Then again it is argued that if wheel is damaged the injury can be made good without stopping the vessel for the injured wheel and it's correspond ing wheel on the other side can be stopped while repairs are done, while the othsrs can continue their course through he water. On July 20 the Ernest Ra2.n went on a trial trip from Havre. On board her was Sir Edward J. Reed, who went to ascertain from personal observa- ton how the vessel behaved, and more especially in what degree the speed would be affected by applying part of the available steam power to the rotation of the rollers instead of to the direct propulsion of the vessel.
 Sir Edward Reeds rs port to the So- cieto d'Etudes ct d'Exploitation des Ma wires Rouleurs Bazin has just been is- sued. The vessels engines are of $50 I. H. P. and these engines work both the screw machinery and the rollers joint ly; so that in this vessel of 274 tons dis placement there was only about one seventeenth of the steam power requis- ite to drive a vessel of similar size at thirty knots, and one-twe,fth of that nec- essary to drive her twsnty-seven knots Nothing but a very low speed could therefore, be anticipated of the vessel owing, first, to her smallness, and, sec ondly, to her low steam power.

Credited to Lincoln in 60; Just Out.
From the Topeka Capital.


 '.I have a story on Abraham Lincoln which has never been printed" sad United States Judge c. G. Foster yester- day. Tn the winter of 1S59-60 Lincoln visited Kansas, making speeches at Troy and Atchrson. At Atchison he put up at the old Massaso.t house, which every old-time politician will remember
 Gen. Stringfellow, John A. Martin, Tom Murphy, and called upon MT. Lin coin at the hotel. In the course of the conversation Lincoln turned to String fellow, who was a pro-slavery advocate and said.
 "'Gen. Strdngfellow, you pro-slavery fellows gave as one reason why slavery should not be prohibited in Kansas, that only the negro could break up this tough praii5e sod. Now, I've broken hundreds of acres of prairie sod in my time, and the only questions which remain to be decided is whether I am a white man or n,gger.'
 "Gen. StringfelIow admitted the force of the argume mt and congratulated MT. Lincoln upon his pointed, logical way of putting things"

but causing the rollers to revolve saven turns a minute by the application of 25.6S I. H. P, we obtained very re- markable increase of speed which rose to over six knots (more exactly GUS knots). I have calculated what the in- crease of speed would have been had this 25.6S I. II. P. been added to the screw engines instead of being applied to the rollers and I find that by this means we should merely have added .55 of knot, thus raising the speed from 4.z5 to AS knots only.
 "In the next experiment the power exerted upon the screw was increased to 295 I. H. P, and the roller power to 34.2 I. H. P, the rollsrs revolving nine turns per minute. I calculate that with the rollers at rest the increase of horse power upon the screw should nave raised the spsed from 4.25 to 5.S knots. The actual speed attained was 6Sl knots, giving an excess of speed due to the rev solution of the rollers of one knot It will be seen that this gain is not qulte so much IS in the previous case, although the power applied to the rollers was somewhat increased-a fact that may be conjecturally accounted for in sev-

ble manners there seems no incivility in lighting cigarette at the table or in adjourning to the hall to smoke one while the table is being cleared for desert There are many other innovations in modern table manners which moght be noted, but think many of the old ways best"
 The Lstenere gives the old grumbler cold comfort. Tt is a queer father of a family who expects to carve and get anything to eat. The size of the roast may be simply prodigious, but, even if the young people at the table who were first served do not come around for second helping by the time the last per son is served helping by the time the roast will probably by that time have got into the shapeless and refractory con dition r liar to roasts, which will in- cline the carver to content himself with little bread and gravy-or at least to take the edges off the bangs of hunger with something of that sort, while he is organizing a second assault on the roast for the benefit of the others"

in harp music wanad in Ireland, but in recent years the efforts to revive 1t have been meeting with marked success. This was particularly noticeable at the Feis Ceoil or musincal feast held in Dublin within year, which was regarded then as being an earnest that "the harp that once thro' Tara's half' would no longer be mute.
 But the harp of today is not the simple instrument that O'Carolan played. It is a scientifically constructed instrument that meets the requirements of the mod ern stage of advancement in music. It has taken place in this country for con- cert and parlor music that bids fair to rival the place held by the piano The States.
