Cutting by Steam.

1t is not generally recognized that the friction between air and other gases and solids or liquids is very great. It is on account of this friction that we have such enormous waves at sea during gales of wind. The film of oil which reduces the breaking of the sea seems to act not only by its cohesion and deaden- ing action upon tAe water, but by hav- ing less amount of friction with the air. Be that as 1t may, however, air, steam and most gases have great deal of friction with solids. When under pressure, this friction is increased, and if the gas is escaping through small orifce the law of friction in regard to speed, while pressure and surface re- main equal, still holds true. It is a fact known of long observation that the small valves of certain kind of steam drips cut with great rapidity if allowed very small rise or opening. That steam cuts and cuts like knife, espe- cially when the pressure is high and l the outlet small, is fact tolerably well established and known to most old en- gineers. s.-Philadelphia Record.
 THE GRANDEsT REMEDY.-Mr. R. Y. Greeve, merchant. of ChilhOwir, Va., cer- tifies that he had consumption, was given up to die, sought all medical treatment that money could procure, tried all cough remedies he could hear of. but got no re- lief; spent many nights sitting up in a chair was induced to try Dr. Kings New Discovery, and was cured by the use of two bottles. For past three years has been attending to business, and says Dr. Kings New Discovery is the grandest remedy ever made. as it has done so much for him and also for others in his community. Dr. Kings New Discovery is guaranteed for Coughs. Colds and Con- sumption. It don't fail, Trial bottle free at E. K. Taft's Drug Store.

 If we could trace Dyspepsia to it's source, it would lead back to our kitchens. In fact the secret of good health is good cdoking. If we'll cooked, foods are practi- cally digested; if poorly cooked, they are less digestible than in their raw state. If you are victim of faulty cooking that is if you suffer from Dyspepsia, the rational cure must be looked for in an artificially digested food, and food which will at the same time aid the digestion of other foods. Such preparation virtually rests the tired digestive organs, thereby restor- ing them to their natural strength.
 The digestive Cordial, as prepared by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just such preparation, and a single 10 cent bottle will convince you of it's value. If your druggist doesn't keep it, he will be glad to get it through his wholesale house.

The Selfish Person.

The great pity of the selfish person is not that he robs others of pleasure or comfort, but that he is so thoroughly unhappy himself. The selfish person is never satisfied, never content. When he has greedily taken all, he still wants more, while the unselfish person finds real happiness ip giving to others the little he has From 8 purely selfish point of view the unselfish person in the happier.

it is the loud mouthed individual, who
has left the territory with a train Of
unpaid bills in his wake, that keeps
the prospective settler away. His
