"DEATH IN
THE POT"

death in the pot" That sentence
onaenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked i'll the large copper kettle long
disused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from n
end of the land to the other. But it was
soon forgotten. The moral of it is, that
the purest of food, put into a foul vessel,
instead of ministering to life may be-
come a minister of death.
If the stomach is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullness after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
of f~luttering and sinking sensations, pal
pitation, dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or alimentary tract.
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes it a medical maxim in exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to start
with the Storlach." It is upon this
principle that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery effects so many and such
remarkable cures. 1t ~cleanses the stom-
ach and the system is cleansed. 1t in
creases the action of the. blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purified blood. 1t strengthens the di-
gcstive or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment. 1t carries off the poisonous, effete
matter. In this way it r~e-establishes
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stomach's
condition.
All medicine dealers sell Golden
Medical Discovery" If they try to
substitute something else, it is because
" something else" pays better. Insist
on Golden Medical Discovery" if you
want to be cured.

Ordinary tumblcrs will hold water
because the globules of water are too
big to squeeze through the glass. But
glass is rs full of holes as a sponge, and
air blows right through it, because the
specks of air are smaller than the holes
Put n bell into Il big globe of glass,
seal up the vessel, pump out all the air,
then ring the bell inside. and you hear
nothing. There is not air enough in the
globe to carry a sound. But lay the
globe aside for a month or so, and no
matter how carefully you have sealed
up the neck you will find that you then
can hear the bell when you ring it. Air
has got into that globe-enough any
way to carry a sound has leaked in
through the substance of the glass.
The ordinary incandescent lamp is a
glass globe with the air pumped ont,
and after a few months sufficient air
leaks through to dim the light which
comes from the thread of electrified
charcoal inside.
We can make plenty of vessels to
hold water. but nothing has been made
which will hold air without any leak
age. The air sneaks in through holes
which are too small for the human mind
to imagine.
In fact, everything leaks. Answers.

PARTING WITH HIS FRIENDS.

Just as the clerks of the departments
were leaving yesterday afternoon an
incident occurred in the Office OF the
commissioner Of the general land office
which viii long be remembered. 1t
was Y ting of the clerks with AS
had ID Amdssioner Mondell, who
~e51gned to become a member of
the Fitty-sixth congress from Wyo-
ming.
There was deep feeling in the i'm
promptu exercises, and when Commits
sioner Hermann to wish his for
mer assistant goodbye there was a
tremor in his voice. He spoke of the
relations that had always existed dur
ing Mr.. Mondell's term and the high
and erectionate regard in which he vas
held by all who came in contact with
him. Commissioner Hermann then, on
the part of the clerks, presented Mr..
Mondell with a handsome diamond stud
and a pearl and diamond s~carfpin. Mr..
Monden was deeply affected, and it was
Some moments before he could respond.
He spoke Of the time he had spent as
an official of the land Office as one of
happiest periods of his official life. He
had formed ties among the clerks which
time could not sever, and he ven out
Of the Office conscious of the fact that
he had made many friends. By their
strict attention to duty and kind on
sideration for him they had made his
term of office most pleasant, and he re-
GREETED the severance which had taken
place. After thanking those present
for their gifts Mr.. Mondell shook hands
with all present.-Washington Star,

That figures are sometimes wondsr-
full things is illustrated by the follow
ing actual occurrence in a nearby college
town a number of years ago: A student
in the university was a member Of an
eating club of IL members which regu-
larly ~patronized a certain little hostelry.
He was lucky enough one day to become
the recipient of a legacy amounting to
about 81, COO, and, showing the sum to
the hotel Keeper, agreed to give it to
him On condition that the sum be ac-
cepted as payment for meals eaten by
the students until every possible coubi-
nation of the seating arrangement of
the boys bad been exhausted, the order
of seats occupied by the boys to be
changed at each meal.
The hotel keeper thought it a most
profitable deal, but a friend of his with
a mathematical turn proved to him
that it really would mean ruin, as no
less than 4I0, OO1, 500 arrangements
were possible. or a total of So, 74S, 019,-
200 individual meals, which, at the rate
of 10 cents per meal, would represent a
value of the tidy sun of S547, sol. 800.
The contract was carried out for the
four years of the boys student life.
when it really drove the hotel man from
business, as reckoned or a basis of So
per week per student the hotel man had
lost So, 992, while the students had only
eaten 80, 416 individual meals and had
still n credit of 5,T4S, 966. 1884 meals, or
enough TO give them three meals a day

In the City of Laramie were listed at

same class of property was listed at
$685. 56. Laramie county has the

something rotten in Denmark. Our

valuations are too low. We rather sur

yet no step has been taken to pay the
Cubans or to disband them. From

The situation In Samoa

London, February 1.-THE Mel
bourne correspondent of The Times
says:
1.-The Samoan correspondent of The
Melbourne Argus writes hat the only
solution of the difficulties there lies
in an immediate annexation Of the is
lands by Great Britain. He says the
natives through the entire group are
almost unanimously favorable to such
a step and that it is also ardently de-
sired by the British and American res
idents. Failing annexation, the COM
plete disarming of the whole population
is imperative, and, in the opinion of
the correspondent of The Argus, the
abolition Of the kingship is absolutely
necessary to prevent constant disturb
ances. The rival chiefs, he believes,
would be satisfied if appointed to rule
their own districts with small sala-
ries."
Washington, February 15.-The fact
that United States Consul Osborne at
Apia did not deem it worth while to
forward a cable report to the state
department from Auckland via the last
steamer which touched at Apia is re-
garded here as evidence that the situa-
ton in the Samion islands is not quite
so critical as has been supposed. By
the last steamer, the consul cabled that
he had forwarded a long report by mail
to the department, and that is still
acking.
