MAKES ONE LAUGH.
A Plants Seeds That Provoke hearty
Laughter

Laughter
The seeds Of the laughing plant of
Arabia produce the same effect upon
persons as laughing gas. The plant
attains height of from two to four
feet, with woody stems, widespread
ing branches and bright greenf foliage.
Its fruits are produced in clusters,
and are Of yellow color. The seed
pods are soft and woolly in texture,
and contain two or three black seeds
of the size of Brazilian bean. Their
flavor is little like opium and their
taste is sweet; the odor from them
produces a sickening sensation and
is slightly offensive. The seeds, when
pulverized and taken in small guam
titles, have peculiar effect upon man.
He begins to laugh loudly, boisterous-
ly, then he sings, dances and cats all
manner of fantastic capers. Such ex-
travagance of gait and manners was
never produced by any other kind of
dosing. In India there is a tree which
picks up stones, bones, bits of wood
and other unconsidered trifes from
the surface of the ground, retaining
them and suspending them in mid
air. This tree throws out from its
brancheSlong, flexible tendrils, which,
touching the ground, do not take any
root there, but Irvine themselves
around any article that may lie with
in reach. Eventually these quasi
branches contract so that they fail to
reach the ground, but the fnger-like
processes continue to closely grip the
substances around which they have
twined themselves. In this way arti-
Giles of considerable weight may be lit
erall y picked up from the ground by
the tree and so held in suspension.

Ghosts would brighten many
people who are not afraid of germs.
Yet the germ is a real danger. If
this microscopic animalism could
be magniied to a size in proper
ton to it's deadIiness it would show
like giant python, or fire breath
ing dragon. The one fact to re-
member that the germ is powerless
to harm the body when the blood
is pure. 1t is far easier to keep
the germ out than it is to drive it
out after it obtains a hold in the
system. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is the most power
full and perfect of blood purifying
medicines. 1t increases the guam
tity as well as the quality of the
blood, land enables the body to resist
disease, or to throw it off if disease
has obtained footing in some
weak organ. Wherever the diges-
ton is impaired, the nutrition of
the body is diminished, for the
blood is made from the food which
is eaten, and half digested food
cannot supply the body with blood
in quantity and quality adequate
to its needs. For this condition
there is no remedy equal to "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" 1t cures
ninty eight out of every hundred |
persons who give it a fair trial. |
When there is constipation DR.. |
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will |

Cotton which Is one OF our chief eX-

o fair idea Of IT'S influence upon tho
whole may be gathered from the facts in
regard 10 It for certain specified years.
For instance We exported of cotton IN

500 S5s.7o2, in 1S9S 500 4422i5. The most
interesting feature Of the table which we

growth Of our export of manufactured
articles Ia 1870 We exported only t6S.27S.-
7@ OF manufactures, while in 1898, we ex-
ported S2sO.6513iO.
What excuse can there possibly be for

istence? They demonstrate that our de-
veopment of machinery and the skill Of

they can be produced anywhere else. and
