Some people in the world persist in clinging to old methods. There are men who still use forked stick in place of modern blow. There are also men, who, when they are troubled with disordered stomach or liver, resort to the old-fashioned violent remedies that rack and rend the whole body, and while they give temporary relief, in the long run do the entire system great amount of harm.
 Modern science has discovered remedies infinitely superior to these old-fashioned drugs, that do their work by promoting the natural processes of excretion and secre- tion and gently correcting all circulatory disturbances. When man feels generally out Of sorts, when he loses sleep at night, when he gets up headachey and with bad taste Ill his mouth in the morning, when he feels dull and lethargic all day, when his appetite is poor and his food distresses him, when work comes hard and recreation is an impossibility, that man, though he may not believe it, is a pretty sick man. He is on the road to consumption, nervous prostration, malaria or some serious blood disease. In cases of this description man should resort at once to Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. It is the best medicine for weak stomach, impaired digestion and disordered liver. 1t is the great blood maker and purifier, flesh builder and nerve tonic. It cures e8 per cent. of ali cases of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs and kindred ailments. Thousands have testified to its marvellous merits. It is modern, scientific medicine that aids without goading nature, and that has stood the test for thirty years Medicine dealers sell it.

THINGS TO KNOW.

Mix stove backing with vinegar;
this will make it stick better and also
give better polish.
To cool a hot dish quickly set it in
cold water and salt; this will cool it
far more rapidly than if it were stood in
cold water only.
After washing lamp chimneys rub
them with dry salt, which will give a
brilliant polish to the glass.
Grease stains on a carpet may be re-
moved in a variety of ways; one of the
simplest is to take a piece of biotting
paper, lay it under the grease mark, and
a similar piece on the top of the mark
Then press the part with hot iron;
this will cause the grease to be alb
sorbed by the blotting paper. Another
method is to add some borax to warm
water in which soap has been dis
solved and well brush the stained part
with this mixture. Ammonia is also
useful; it should be diluted with water
and rubbed on the carpet.

While Judge Spencer was still speech
less with surprise and Indignation the
fugitives were mounting, and before
the sheriff had made his way to the
door of the courtroom they were clat-
tering down the Watauga road, fol-
lowed by one after another of the wild,
high-pitched cheers, learned from the
Cherokees and famous in after times
as 1.-THE rebel yell"
Through the whirlwind of summer
dust which rose around the reckless
riders it could be seen that the lied
mare" on whose back Sewer had been
forced by his companions, was already
in the lead by a dozen lengths, and
that she was gaining length in every
20 she covered. More than one of the
cheering tackles" recognized her as
Sewers thoroughbred Bonnie Kate"
who, when first imported, had come
near bankrupting the habitues of every
race track in western North Carolina.
1t was fully three minutes before the
sheriff and his party of dozen depu-
ties had made their way to the "hitch-
ing racks" which fanked the sides of
the square. On reaching them it was
only to find that every bride was tied
to the rack poles in doubled and twisted
hard knots Swearing and perspiring
with their efforts three of the sheriff's
party did manage to mount and give
chase before the fugitives were cut of
sight. and the others struggled after
them as sooa as they could cut and
piece out their bride reins. But the
chase was so hopeless that its failure as
spectacle eXasperated the crowd into
yells of dersion.
The tall young man with the eelskin
cue had mounted the top of a gate
which commanded view VI the road

mile from the courthouse.

Who held the royalistic mace which

AS the noise ceased the Judge looked
over his spectacles at the prisoners

Some of the foremost women of
Hagerstown, Ind, have been engaged
for some weeks in repairing and rem
ovating the local cemetery. For seven
years weeds and briars have been al
lowed to oyerrun the ground. Re-
sponsibility for its neglected condition
was shifted from one to another, the
town council and the lot owners each
trying to saddle upon the other the
burden of improvement. Finally the
women took the matter in hand. Under
their direction the cemetery has been
transformed into beautiful place.
The past year they purchased a large
addition, plated it and sold the lots,
and they now have a surplus of money
in the treasury.

FOR THE STAMP FIEND.

Last year there was only one pneu-
matte postal tube in operation in the
country-that in Philadelphia. Since
then four more contracts have been ex-
ecuted in Philadelphia, New York and
Boston, and between Brooklyn and New
York.
Victoria has followed the example of
New South Wales and issued Jubilee
stamps. The leading collectors advise
that the stamps be boycotted, but it is
useless. The average collector must
have them, no matter what his opinion
is as to merit.
1t has been rumored that the portrait
of Seward would be substituted for
Grant on the fve-cent stamps, because
of the great interest taken in Alaska,
of which Seward was the parent. The
rumor is absurd. Seward may be en-
titled to honor for his foresight, but it
must come in some other way.
The contract for supplying the gov
ernment with postage stamps will ex-
pire July /, 1898. AS a number of the
lower denominations are booked for a
change in color, it would not be sur
prising if an entire new issue should
make its appearance at that time.
There has been increased demand for
the incased postage stamps of the 1861
issue, which were used during the war,
in the dearth of small change. Col
lectors should be on their guard, how
ever, as there is a great chance for
fraud in these stamps.
