The ancients believed that
rheumatism was the work Of .
demon within u man. Any one
who has had an atta,k Of sciatic
or innammatory rheumatism will
agree that the infliction is demon
lac enough to warrant the belief.
It has never been claimed that
Chsmberlain's Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but It will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear
testimony to the truth Of this
statement. One application re-
lieves the pain, and this quick
relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For

A Great Snow Storm,

The snow storm which prevailed on Sun
day and Monday was the greatest we have
ever witnessed. We do not believe tho
Oldest inhabltant ever saw anything equal
to 1t in severity or duration. Among the
greatest storms we can remember occurred
in January 1881 when the snow fell for
nearly 4S hours, and formed drifts that
rendered tho roads impossible for several
weeks and boys going across the fields
walked over the tops OF tho fences. A
great fall of snow also occurred In Febru-
nry 1886. 1t commenced on Saturday and
continued until sometime on Sunday nj ight
For a week previous the sun was not visi-
BILE through the clouds. There wero some
six weeks Of good sleighng and patches of
snow lay on the ground until the middle
of April. Another heavy snow storm oc.

1866 rendering the roads impossible and

roads north as well rs south were COM
pletely blocked and thero was no commit
nication with towns down the State for
several days. Again In March 1888, thcro
was severe sn ow storm which wa- re-
narkable for It's severity. Two or three
men were killed by n collision on the rail-
road foot Of Jefferson street, and great de-

the present one, or interfered to the samo
extent with the transaction Of business. 1t

PRESENT.
And Two of the Assembl "
men Again Voted for
j. EdW. AddiCks.

= Dover, Feb. 14.-Thero were but three
members of ths General Assembly present
at tho Joint session to-;tay. 1t was tho
jlfty.third attempt to elect and tho result
was:
For ]. Edward Addicks-Sonator Alice
and Representative Sntterfeld.
, For George Gray-Senator Slaughter
The three members were again Oh hand
cady to ballot, and from the condition Of
Tho railroads they did not expect that any
IT their colleagues would be present to
well the vote.
The organization Of both houses was tho
samc as yesterday, with Representative
Eatterflcld III the chair in tho House and
fenator Slaughter OCCUPYING the presidents
chair in the Senator.
The journals OF both houses were read
by the temporary clerks, and at tho hour
of noon the joint ballots wero taken with
rs much formality as usual.
The journal Of yesterday bearing on the
balloting was read by Clerks Jones and
Whelen and on being found to be correct
the ballot was taken. Senator Alleo voted
tor MIR. Addicks, as did Representative
Satterfleld, while Senator Slaughter pro-
claimed George Gray as his choice.
Then tho house separated and Repre-
sentative Satterflcll declared that he con-
vitu,ing tho House, was adjourned, while
the Senate was adjourned by Senator
Elaughter.
Both houses will again meet at II o'clock
tomorrow morning, when It's believed
there will be larger attendance. 1t ts
thought here, from advlce5 received, that
the Wilmington members as we'll as these
from up and down tho statc, will be In

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATEDINT THE HUMANB BODY
The Result Of Imperfect Digestion Of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or nnimal, con.
t.lns within itself tho germs Of certain de-
cav and death.
In the human body these germs OF death
(called by scientists Ptoinnines) are usual
ly the result of imperfect digestion OF food;
tho result of Indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach from abuse, weaksns, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food The result is n heavy, sodden mass
which ferments Chs first process OF decay
poisoning the blood making 1T thin, weak
and LACKING In red corpusclos; poisoning
the brain causing headaches. pain In the
eyes.
Bad digestion wcakens the heart, caus-
ing palpita' ion and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing bright's disease and d'abates.
And this Is so because evory organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone fer nUurishment and renewal, anu
weak digostio shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but IN wcak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley. said
tho best start III lifo Is sound stomach.
Weak stonnchs fail to digest food properly
because they lack the proper quantity of di.
gestivs ncids (actic and hydrochlorc) and
peptogenic products; tho most sensible
remedy in all cases ol indigestion, is 70
take after each meal one or two OF Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in
pleasant, harmless form all tho eoments
TINT weak stOmachs lack.
The regular use OF Slunrts tablets will
cure any form Of stomach trouble except
cancer Of The stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,

ANTS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
They Can Eat Their Way Into House.
Through Solid Tlmber.


nv. go, rr,-..a
Professor Dean u. worcester, IN MS
book on The Philippines and Thoir Peo'
pie, has this to say OF the ants OF tho
islands:
A countless horde or tiny red ants In
vadod our premises and refused to decamp.
They tunneled into our bread overnight
and built nests there, biting our tongues
when we attempted to eat 1t for breakfast.
They crawled into the sugar and died,
making 1t necessary for us to skim out the
floating corpses after sweetening our
coffee. They particularly delighted in
fresh meat and swarmed over 1t until 1t
looked like solid mass of ants. Not con-
tent with destroying our food, they at
tackled our birdskins, which they seemed
to find palatable In spite of the arsenic
with which they were poisoned. Having
obtained very valuable bird just at
night, suspended 1t by string from the
center of the ceiling, thinking they surely
would not 1lEd 1t there. Tho next morn
ing it was completely stripped Of feathers.
We put the legs of our tables in dishes OF
