Question Answered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. H.

Among the vagaries that enter the
minds of would be suicides, not the
least singular is that in many cases
they not only make no effort to be Sc
cretive, but, on the contrary, take some
trouble to give their misfortunes an
airing, and they show a morbid enjoy
ment apparently in making public the
fact that, Notwithstanding their de-
spairing condition, they have friends
or relatives who are rich or more or
less prominent in public affairs. What
possible motive can the man who at
tcmpts self destruction have in letting
the world know that he is we'll con-
nected and possibly the ''black sheep"
Of the family? Why, as in the instance
recently reported in New York, does q
man who seeks oblivion feel like going
tc the top of the Brooklyn bridge and
jumping off? Why could he not steal
off by way of some lonely and secluded
pier Of the water front If he insists
that the world is not to his liking?
The truth is that, even while seeking
death, the morbid mind seeks notoriety,
and that is the usual mental condition
of the would be suicide when not Who'll
ly demented.

We. Americans are not usually re-
garded as an exclusive people, yet we
are accused by the English Of having
monopolized that now fashionable all
ment, appendicitis. The word does not
appear in the most recent and most
ambitious of the dictionaries compiled
by our cousins across the water. In
the interests Of international comfy
this should not be thus, and either the
word should be put into the books By
the British photographers or we should
export couple Of we'll defined cases
Of the disease to Albion, just simply to
show that there is no desire to be
selfish and to enjoy our distinction as
the most susceptible victims Of appen-
dicitis all by ourselves.

The American Sugar Refining COM
pany, alias the sugar trust, is said to
be endeavoring to make an agreement
with the National Wholesale Grocers'
association, the terms being that the
members of the association shall buy
exclusively from the trust, which is to
give them in return an extra rebate
By such an arrangement the trust
hopes to drive the Independent refners
out Of the market and compel them to
shut up shop. Then the trust will be
in position to reassert itself, raising
prices and withdrawing the rebate. II
the Grocers' association goes into an
arrangement Of this kind, it will do
so knowing the effect will be to re-
establish the supremacy Of mo-
nopoly from which it's members have
heretofore suffered. 1t would hardly
seem possible that the wholesale gro-
GERS Of the country would be foolish
enough to bend their necks to the yoke
again to secure brief pecuniary ad-
vantage.

AS rule, prize6ghting is destitute
Of redeeming or even mitigating fea-
lures, but there will be some difficulty
in denouncing with accustomed vigor
the recent encounter between Terence
McGovern, young Brooklyn pugilistic
artist, and Pedlar Palmer, the light
weight champion Of England. When
the American vanquished the Briton
in such remarkably short order, the
horror of the fistic hammering was
greatly assuaged. 1t took him less
than three minutes to do the trick.
Then, too, it was our countryman who
defeated a foreigner, for, even in this
era of international good feeling, it
does make difference whose victory
it is and how neatly and quickly it is
won. .-.s ~. ....4.s. = g.. ...... n

growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Then I

The Right of Man to Die.

Ino Rl8nt OF Nan 20 O1o.
To say something new on such an
old, old subject as that of, death is.
really remarkable achievement, but
that is what has been done BY Judge
Simeon e. Baldwin Of the Connecticut
| supreme court. In an address to the
American Bar association he put into
eloquent form some ideas which must
cause every thinking mind to pause
and consider. The gst Of Judge Bald
wins discourse was that man has
right to die when nature signifies that
his time has come ana that meddling
physicians ought not to be allowed.-to
prolong the sufferings of those whose
natural course Is run. Said Judge
Baldwin: "In civilized nations, and
particularly Of late years, it has be-
come the pride of many in the medical
profession to prolong such lives at>any
cost Of discomfort or pain to the suf-
ferer or Of suspense or exhaustion to
his family.
ut is a great responsibility, this,
that rests on modern medicine. 1t has
a power to hold us back from the
grave for few days, few weeks, a
few years, to which the physician Of
antiquity was a stranger. But are we
sure that the course Of nature with
mankind is really at fault? May not
she know best when she has had
enough of us in this state Of being?
Or, to rise to a higher and truer level,
may not the God over all, who has Or
dained these laws Of bodily decay,
though he has also ordained these
laws, later discovered by us, of scien-
tifc physiology, be safely left to name
the time for calling his children home?
Is life on earth for every individual
merely brief chapter Of a long BIZ
ography?
'If that future life which we con-
meet with the name Of heaven be one
of activity in endeavor, of energy, Of
achievement, of the strong helping
the weak, the wise instructing the sim
life here are so far deserted that there
is always work for all, appropriate for
each? Or may not, in a certain sense,
time, in the due order of succession in
events, have its reign in other worlds,
and positions Of usefulness in this
planet or in that be assigned to new
cOmers. as vacancies arise. and Onlv
then?
IF so, natural death, coming in Or
binary course, may be the divine way
Of calling one up from a condition Of
existence to which he is untitled or in
which he is not needed to one in which
he is needed, and needed at once"
Is there not much solid mental food
in this?

Likely TO Rs " Close Race.

Likely 70 8l3r ii Close Raca.
Few people on this side OF the Az
lantic are prepared to admit that the
Americas cup Is In any serious danger
of being captured by the Shamrock,
though but few will deny that the chal-
lenger is boat capable Of making the
Columbia do her best .z
The comments of the expert yachts
men who have seen Sir Thomas sloop
spread her wings are uniformly that
she is unquestionably faster than any
other yacht that has crossed the ocean
for the famous trophy since it was
brought to these shores more than
generation ago. - 4&&s4
The long series of trial races between
the old Defender and the new Columbia
were somewhat disappointing, to many
yachtsmen, since the new boat won, as
a rule, by exceedingly narrow margins,
and in the only race sailed in strong
wind the Columbia was only minute
and half to the good. The trials
would seem to indicate that the Ameri-
can builders are rapidly reaching the
limit Of speed to be got out of boats
Of the general type and dimensions of
the Defender and Columbia. The Amer
ican champion, however, has been pro-
vided with hollow steel mast in place
of the heavy pine spar and since then
has proved to the satisfaction Of her
former critics that she Is faster and
stancher boat than the Defender. =.
One factor that may have an impor-
tant bearing on the result has not been
brought into general prominence. The
British challengers have for years been
practically Of one type-the deep,
heavy cutter-which, by the way, have
uniformly trailed far behind the broad,
lighter draft American centerboard
sloops, which the British yachtsmen
decried as tracing machines" and
''skimming dishes" These "machines''
the Britons have now begun to initiate,
though without the centerboard, which
has never found favor among the
yachtsmen over on the other side. -.
Both nations have gradually adopted
the so called fin keel, which has sup
planted the distinctively American
centerboard. So it transpires that the
Americas cup contest now represents
no longer a trial of widely different
types, but test of speed between
boats built on essentially the same
lines. ~
Another factor not to be lost sight of
is that the Shamrock comes over with
a more sportsmanlike hacker and a
more competent crew than have at
tended the challenger in recent years.
Sir Thomas is not only thorough
sportsman, but he is thoroughly enter
prising, and it will not be surprising to
find that he has pushed the tracing
machine principle to a point that will
make it highly interesting for the Co.
lumbia and her skipper. The public
may at least look for a game contest
throughout. All in all, however, we
think the yacht that floats 'Old Glory"
is bound to win.
