NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
a Positive Cure for Dvsnensia

This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong because it
is generally thought by the majority
of people that Dyspepsia in it's chronic
form is ineurable, or practically so. But
we have long since shown that Dys-
pepsia is durable, nor is it such a diff
cult matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
tremes or else deluging the already
over burdened stomach with "'bitters. >"
after dinner pills." etc, which invari-
ably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give a slight tenn
.porary relief. Such treatment Of the
stomach simply makes matters worse.
What the stomach wants is a rest. Now
how can the stomach become rested,
recuperated and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained.
This is the great secret and this is
also the secret Of the uniform success
of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. This
is a comparatively new remedy, but its
success and popularity leaves no doubt
as to its merits.
The Tablets viii digest the food any
way, regardless of condition Of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions is to eat an abundance
of good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digested no matter how bad your dys-
pepsia may be, because as before stat
ed, the tablets will digest the food even
if the stomach is wholly inactive To
illustrate our meaning plainly. if Won
take 500 grains of meat, eggs or ordi-
nary food and place it in a tenpera
ture of 50 degrees, and put with it one
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will
digest the meat or eggs almost as per-
fectly as il the meat was enclosed with
in the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so veal
yet these tablets will perform the wor,r
of digestion and the body and brain.

same time a radical, lasting cure Of

vinegar is excellent for frightening
copper. For brass there is nothing so
good as constant rubbing, or, as our
Anglican sisters call the operation,
"leathering." whitening, made to a
paste with vinegar, is a good polish
for brass, but it is said that all polishes
remove the lacquer, and when this Is
done the metal is sure to tarnish.

A kindly woman says that she has
found the Birthday Book used for
autographs in her callow youth of great
benefit in her much appreciated acts of
remembrance. BY assisting her mem
Org from its pages, she is enabled to
send her friends a note of congratula-
ton, some flowers, or, perhaps, only a
spoken word of special thought upon
the birthday when it is not one to be
marked by an elaborate gift. This
seemingly good memory is very f1atter
ing, and is one of the sources of that
particular woman's vast popularity.

A variety of knives is an absolute
necessity by no means always to be
found, even in very Well-appointed
kitchens. Quite different sorts of
blades are required for the trimming of
fillets, outlets, ETC., or for peeling veg
etabies, While for slicing cucumbers
for instance, a small knife is best which
has a blade SO constructed that it de-
termines the thickness of the slice. A
full set of working knives should be
at hand for every cook of whom the
best work can scarcely, in fairness, be
asked if perfection in utensils be not
provided.

PROMISE TO OBEY"
If Girl Shrinks From 1t She Had
Better Remain Unmarried.

IF a girl shrinks from the word
obey, or hesitates to speak 1t at the
altar, it will be better that she shall
never approach the hour of her mar
rage" writes Edward w Box in the
Ladies Home Journal" in reply to
inquiries from two girls if they should
insist upon the word "obey" being
omitted from their marriage ceremony.
Either she is doubtful of her own love
or distrusts the heart Of her lover. And
in either case her marriage will be a
sin in the eyes of God. When marriage
is a union of true love--and marriage
should be naught but that--the ques-
ton of obey is not thought Of; it does
not enter the mind of the girl One
thought alone is uppermost and su-
preme-the union of the two loving
hearts, each filled with the thought of
the other-both to be united in one
complete whole. That is marriage, and
that alone. Let non-essentials enter
it, and the hottest state into which man
and woman can enter this side of heav-
en- becomes wrong, an irreparable sin
Shall these two girls. then, and all
other girls with their faces turned to-
ward the altar of marriage during these
weeks to come, say, obey? Yes, a
thousand times yes. And as they say
it to the men of their hearts, so will
the men, in turn, promise to love them
as wives, even as Christ loved the
Church which unites them, and gave
Himself for it. No woman has ever
found it difficult to obey the husband
who loves her as only a true man can
love one woman in a. universe She
does not find the little word coming up
in her married life to make her regret
its utterance. On the contrary, she
never thinks of it, except to be thank
full that she did not shrink from it.
The state of matrimony is not state
of demand on the part of the husband,
nor of obedience on the part of the
wife. 1t is a perfect state that lifts
two people higher; state where love
is masterful supreme"

The hopes of higher duties under the

under the Mckinley robber tariff law,

HEaRMANN'S GREAT TRICK.
How He Caught Bullets Hot from kiiies
Held by Good Marssmen.

Now that Hermann the Great is gone. |
there can be no harm in explaining now
his wonderful trick Of catching the bull !
let's shot at him by six national guards
men was done.
On both occasions the famous pres
tidigitateur stood alone upon the stage.
while six picked marksmen from the
state national guard fired point blank
UPON him from platform built in the
audience. On both occasions Hermann,
pale of face and painfully alert, caught
the bullets previously marked by com
mittee OF noted army men, and handed
them back hot from the barrels for
Identification.
or course. ii was % trick. but it was
a dangerous trick. and one that Herr
mann dhsliked to do. But even he was
less nervous than the marksmcn. who.
acting in perfect good faith, feared that
they might kill the pluclSy magician.
Many have been the alleged explana-
tions OF this trick published in various
newspapers. They have all been wrong.
Hermann himself told The Herald how
it was done. and here il is:
OF course. there was an accomplice.
and this accomplish was not one of the
marksmen. but the sergeant in charge
Of them. This sergeant took the six
regulation army bullet cartridges on
a silver platter to the committee.
The committee examined them. made
sure they were genuine. marked them
iainlv and replaced them on the plat
ter. The sergeant instantly raised the
platter in plain sight at arms length
above his head, walked over 10 the
marksmcn, ard they themselves each
took g cartridge, examined it and
placed it in the rifle. Then came the
shooting.
The trick lay in the platter. which
had a false bottom. Under this bot
tom lay six other cartridges. identical
in size. weight and appearance, but
holding bullets made of a composition
of plumbago and mercury. When the
sergeant held The platter aloft he
touched n spring. and by clever mech
anism these six fake" cartridges
jumped into the platter, while the
genuine cartridge disappeared beneath
the false bottom.
