EEw TO-DAY,
TO CURE DYSPEPSIA,

New Remedy Which Will Do 1t.
Chronic dyspepsia is considered by
many people to be nearly if not quite in
durable. No good reason can be given
why they think so, except that perhaps
they have tried various remedies without
much if any benefit. But the progress in
every branch of medicine has been such
nat, among other things, lasting cure
for indigestion in its chronic form, as well
as temporary, has been discovered, and is
now placed be ore the public strictly on

stomach trouble s or difficulties with the
digestive organs.
This new treatment is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in ia blet
form so ss to be easily taken and also to

Her Foot In His Pocket.

Of Princess Pauline Borghese, she whose charms Canova is supposed to have immortalized in his Venus Vic trix, Mir, Augustus J. o. Hare, in his "The Story of My Life," relates this anecdote, told him by Lady Ruthven:
 She used, when at Rome, to go to "la toilette des pieds" of Pauline Borghese. Regular invitations were is- sued for it. When the guests arrived, they found the princess, supremely lovely, with her beautiful little white feet exposed upon a velvet cushion. Then two or three maids came in and touched the feet with a sponge and dusted them with a little powder ''c'etait la toilette des pieds. The Duke of Hamilton used to take up one of the little feet and put it inside his waistcoat like little bird"

ROCKVILLE.

The committee of fifteen appointed by the Holland County Agricultural Society at its annual meeting In October to take under advisement the matter of making the association a joint stock concern held meeting Monday afternoon at the office Of Senator Lake. The committee report ed $40 shares subscribed for, distributed amorg seventy-flve shareholders This leaves but sixty shares and they can be disposed of easily. The members of the committee expressed themselves as well pleased with the result of the canvass and voted unanimously to recommend to the adjourned annual meeting to be held next Monday the transfer of the property owned by the present society to the pro- posed society, to be known as The Rockville Fair Association" It is uni versally considered that the intended change will be of great benefit to the as- sociation. No objection from any of the present members Is anticipated. There will be 400 shares at $25 per share. Forty per cent will be collected during the coming winter. This amount will pay all the indebtedness and leave a good balance in the treasury.

Boats Carried on Mems H,ads.

The achievement has often been re- ferred to of the carrying of steamboats on the backs of men. The expression is not accurate, for the Congo natives are trained from infancy to carry burdens on their heads When European on the lower Congo sent his black boy to a store to buy some cigarettes, he was surprised to see the servant return with the tiny package on his head. When 8 Congo woman has smoked her much loved pipe, the treasure is likely to re- pose on her head until she again re- QHires it, and if her husband, unfortu- Dately, has been able to procure a bottle of rum, he walks home with it nicely balanced on his head, throwing stones At the stray dogs and cats in his way, without the slightest idea that he ik really an expert equiIibrist Most of the many thousands of pieces of steamboats were carried on the heads and not on ne backs of men.
 The 50, 900 natives of the lower Congo who have been carrying these steam boats and all other freight around the @taracts are the very men who could Aot be induced, 8 years ago. to give 8 Helping hand to MT. Stanley. He wish ed to carry 1880 man loads and be had enly l90 Zanzibar and Loango porters for the work Some of the natives would sell him little of their time, but they would not carry his gocds more than two or three miles beyond their homes Stanley's failure to secure the carriers he needed along the river delayed his work on the upper Congo for more than a year, and the labor question was the most perplexing problem with W hich he had to deal. He brought his carriers thousands of miles, from Zanzibar and other coasts of Africa. Harper's Round Table

SHE MADE A GREAT MISTAKE.
Thought She Would Make Tom Happy,
 but Both Are Now Miserable.

Daughters of wealthy men who fall In love with their fathers employees are not entirely restricted to novels There is a Chicago merchant whose con fdential man has for some time been suitor for his daughters hand. There is another departure from tradition in the fact that his love affair is not as violently opposed as it might be. He is n thoroughly capable and upright fel- low, and his prospective father-in-law probably doesn't see why he wouldn's do just as we'll as a clubman or per haps nobleman fofnis daughter's hus- band. Of course the two lovers like to be as much as possible in each others company and try all sorts of little schemes and inventions to bring this happy state of affairs about
 The other evening when the young man, whose familiar name is Tom, called at the home of his fiancee she was perfectly radiant.
 "Oh, Tom, have just the best piece of news to tell youP' she said to him.
 "Indeedr' was his reply. "Tell it to me right away"
 ''I know you will be SO glad I did it, she continued.
 "Did what?''
 "I'm going to tell you all about it Papa said this morning that he was go- ing to California, to be gone a month. He said I'd enjoy the scenery and the climate, aud he thought there wasn't t any trip that I'd like so much. Oh. he wanted me to go awfully bad, but l just thought that wouldn't see you for a month, and so took stand. I must have made 50 excuses. Finally told him that I'd promised to go to Cousin Maude's at Lake Geneva, and that l just couldn't break my promise, so at last he let me of. It was hard work, and I'm almost afraid I made him angry, but knew you'd be so glad. '"
 "Yes-um-of oourse." responded Tom.
 "Well, you don't look half as glad as thought you would"
 "No-I''- he began.

 Well, no, darling" he said. You see, I'm to go with him. "-Chicagc Times Herald

It often happens that the doctor is out of town when most needed. The two year old daughter of J. Y. Schenck, of Caddo. Ind. Ter, was threatened with croup, he writes. "My wife insisted that go for the doctor at once; but, as he was out of town, I purchased bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which re- lieved the child immediately" A bottle of that remedy in the house will often save the expense of a doctors bill, be- sides the anxiety always occasioned by serious sickness. When 1t is given as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. Thousands of moth- CTS always keep 1t in their homes. The % and 90 cent bottles for sale by E. K.

CANNED GOODS.

The Most Fragrant and Extensive Kinds
 of AduIteratiOn Are Practioed-
 Under one heading we may consider several groups of food stuffs, which, while different in composition, are alike in the form of adulteration which is re- sorted to These groups include the va rieties of canned vegetables, fruit but ters, jellies, preserves and catchups. The forms of adulterations common to all of these consist in the use of coloring matter, of imperfect vegetables or fruits, of other fruits and vegetables than those called for Or of preservatives. In the case of canned vegetables there is an accidental adulteration from the in- gredients of the can, such as lead and tin, and which may, as a rule, be at tributed to a lack of care in canning.
 In all of the groups mentioned the adulteration practiced is of the most fragrant and extensive kind. Catchups are made of skins and cores instead of the pure vegetables, then colored with a coal tar product and loaded with sali- cylic acid to prevent fermentation. Fruit buffers are nothing but parings and scrapings of fruit to which glucose, starch and coloring have been added, with salicylic acid as @ preservative. Jellies are made from glucose favored with essential oils and colored, to which salicylic acid Is added. Some fruit jel- lies marked as pure have never seen a trace of fruit, What is true of jellies is true of preserves Put together refuse material, the cheapest sort of glucose, some coloring and salicylic acid, and you have the composition of some of the cheaper forms of preserves that are to be found on the shelves of some of our | grocery stores. Of these coarser forms of deliberations it will be unnecessary to say even a word. They are universal ly recognized as unfit to be used, and every honest dealer is of the opinion that the sooner they are driven out of the markes the better it will be for trade.
