Who VIII be u Next President2

Politicians are now planning for the
presidential campaign of 1900 but the
wal has so ovcrshadowed all other
matters that politics is almost unnoticed.
Many people are of the opinion that the
candidates will be the same as in 1896,
but there may be a dark horse" who
will win the race. Popularity has much
to do with candidates. This is also true
with medicine. The most popular
remedy to-day is Hostetter's stomach
Bitters, and it has retained this Tor
many years. Science never discovered
the equal of this medicine for stomach,
liver and kidney diseases. 1t builds up
solid flesh tissue, imparts vigor and
vitality to all organs, and makes lie
worth living. A bottle will make a. big
change,f for the better. Try it.

About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack of
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. l
gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for q physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this time
the child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty-five
operations of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that IN
less it soon obtained relief 1t would not
live. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

and I decided to try 1t. l soo noticed

and it is now perfectly healthy.-C. L.

Like an Ant Bed"

A countryman, on his first visit to
large city, was shown over the markets.
"Where do you find enough people to eat
all this stuff" was his exclamation of sur
prise.
His companion then led him through
several thronged streets. "How 40 you
manage to feed all these men, women and
childrens" asked the puzzled man.
But an Australian aboriginal used
more striking expression to Indicate his
amazement ut the busy throngs OF London.
He had been brought to England by a
squatter from Queensland, who took him
to London on a very busy day. Crowds
were passing to and from the exchange
and banks, and the squatter and his
charge were obliged to wait to cross the
street.

Railway Incident.

Professor Lincoln of Brown university,
who died a few years ago, used often TO re-
late with glee railroad adventure which
he had in Germany during his last Euro
pean tour. The party was travelling In one
of the little German railway carriages with
the doors at the sides, when the train
stopped mt a station where there was a res
taurant.
They were told that the train would
wait a few minutes, and so, with Amerl-
can independence, Professor Lincoln and
another member of the party stepped out,
crossed another track and proceeded to the
station.
This infraction of German regulations
was at first unnoticed, but on the reti IN
an obstacle was found in the shape of an
other train between them and their car.
The various railway personages appeared
stolidly ignorant as to time tables. The
train was too long to go around, the cars
were unprovided with our convenient END
platforms and steps and the space beneath
them was mono too ample for cat To 60
under. Only one course remained-that
was to go over the train.
This seemed q simple matter, as the
German cars are very small affairs COM
pared with our own, and, moreover, are
provided with convenient ladder on each
side for the use of the man who climbs up
and puts the lamps down through a hole
in the roof.
Accordingly the start was made, and the
feat was about half accomplished before Ii
was noticed by the railway officials. Then
began a great connection, with violent
pesticulations and commands to come
down.
But by dint of Professor Lincoln's vo'
alterations in German to the officials to
the effect that coming down on the farther
side was just rs well as to return to the
station and of soto voce hints in New
England vernacular to his comrade to keeT
on going, the retreat was successfully GOV.

HARVEST OF THE SEA.
4 Peculiar Occupation Followed OF the
Coast of Ireland.

Along the northwest coast OF Ireland,
On the borders of the Atlantic, dwells
hardy race of men whose chief occupation,
when not engaged in fishing, consists in
the manufacture OF kelp.
This kelp is of great commercial i'm
portance, as from 1t is obtained nearly all
our iodine, n body of vast use in medicine.
During the winter months the kelp
burners set out in their frail little cur
raghs' (small canoelike boats about IL
feet long, made of canvas), and, proceeding
along the coast, fill the boats with sea-
weed, from which the kelp Is made. In
this they are assisted by the women, who,
bareheaded and shoeless, take their turn
regularly at the oars and are almost as ex-
pert at 1t as the men.
After a storm is the time selected for
obtaining tho seaweed, as by the force OF
the waves it has been torn from Its bed
and is cast in along the shore In large
quantities.
When the boats are laden, the seaweed
Is brought to a small creek, and there
placed in heaps out of reach of the tide
From this it is carried in creels on the
backs of men and women to a point far
Their inland, where 1t has to undergo Q
process of drying.
The drying consists In exposing it to the
sun and wind, and the better to do this
they have rows of loose stones laid about
90 yards in length and few feet in height
Along the tops of these they scatter thu
seaweed.
The drying takes months, so that spring
is well advanced ere it Is ready for burn
ing This does not matter, however, as
owing to the fuel-the peat, or turf, go
from the Dogs at hand-not being yet Gu
and dried Tor twin, as 1T Is termed), 1t i
SUNNI er before the burning in the kiln
| can commence.
The kiln is deep trench dug In tn
ground. Alternate layers of turf and sea
| weed are laid in this till full, and tn
| whole is kept burning for about thre
| weeks, until 1t cakes together In larg
black mass resembling coke, but niue
| more solid and heavier. This is the kelp.
1t Is then broken into blocks about j
inches square and brought by boat to tn
villages, where 1t is sold, to be shipped
more profitable markets. -Boston Post.

HOW TO KILL A GRIZZLY BEAR.
lhe Only Safe Way Is to First Catch Your
Bear, Then Cut His Throat.

1.-THE only safe way to kill a grizzly
bear Is to cut his throat, said an old
forty-niner who has come back to Louis
Vile To end his days. II learned this
when took that trip from Sacramento to
Lower California with herd of cattle
and only greaser and myself to drive
em.
1--WE had been out for three days. On
the morning of the third day, Just about
dawn. we were awakened by the believing
of frightened cattle. We expected SIAM
pede and both of us jumped to our feet
and on our horses. Then we began to ride
around the cattle to keep them from
breaking and running 1t didn't take us
long to discover the cause OF the cattle
fright About 800 yards distant was big
grizzly with his head down making for our
camp. The Mexican saw him the same
time did
II unslung my gun and held 1T in read
mess to shoot as soon as bruin was IN
range The Mexican held up his hand
warningly and yelled, Waltz He took
his lasso of the horn of his saddle, and
digging his spurs into the sides of his
pony rode down upon the bear as fast as
he could 60. He passed the bear, and
| when Is feet behind him wheeled his
horse. Then, whirling his lasso about his
head, he let fly at the running bear. The
lasso settled nicely over one of the lifted
| feet. The trained pony lifted himself on his
launches, and the lasso frightened his grip
| on the bears leg. This angered the bear,
and he turned with growl and started
directly toward the Mexican, who rode
toward little clump of trees just north
| of the camp He kept drawing In the lasso
and expected to tighten 1t and drag the
bear. but bruin was fast upon his feet and
kept in easy distance of the greaser.
1.-THE horseman rode behind one OF the
trees and jumped from his horse. Bruin
started after him and reached around the
tree to get him. The willy greaser began
to lump about from side to side of the tree,
with the bear always following but never
getting any closer than just opposite. The
result was that bruin was finally wrapped
tightly about with the lasso and was tied
to the tree When the greaser got the beai
in this position, he held on to the END OF
the lasso in his hand, and showing his
teeth in broad grin looked at me. Reach
ing down into his greasy sash, he pulled
out a long, sharp knife and made one
slash across the bears throat That die
