QUESTION ANSWERED,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
srandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion and Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis, ner-
vous prostration or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate 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 few doses of Green s

at most two, and when neither soap
nor water is an available commodity.
Under shelter Of the grass mat which
has formed bed and blanket, the worn

bodice, so short as to leave large
stretch of warm, sherry-colored flesh
visible above the waist, replaced the

vast sums of money are handled by him,

! Peppered the Bandit.


ATS queer" said a man from Col

have as TO how they'll act in case they
ever get involved in train or stage

this way. Myself, I've been stuck-up
nj the point Of one or more guns on
three different occasions, and on each
occasion I've pointed my mitts heaven
ward without any fuss or feathers
whatsoever, and delivered the goods
with nary a whimpcr, But never fig
ured on doing anything else. Before
ever got held up at all / always said to
myself that when the time arrived for
some fellow to poke a gun into my face
and request me TO elevate my arms, I'd
do what he asked me to do without any
questions at all, and let him have all
he could find on me without any side
stepping or murmuring. ] considered
that that was the only sensible thing
10 do, and I consider so yet. SO, while
IL cost me a heap more than ! really
could afford TO fork over my little val
uablcs on the three occasions the boys

myself that, while | mayn't have been
very heroic or darc-dcyilish, | did the
wise thing in getting away with com

simply going to cut n dog in two in case
anybody ever tried to stick them up at

AMERICAN HORSES TOO FAST.
They Have Been Barred from Racing
Contests in Russia Where M
tive Breeds Are Entered.

The United States consul general at
that a few years ago American horses
could start in all races in Russia, but
they were so much faster than the Rus
sian horses that they were barred from
three big races in order to protect their
own interest; but, as a majority OF Rus
sian horsemen now own American
horses, and more are constantly being
bought, there is a growing sentiment
in favor of their being permitted to
start in all races except those intended
exclusively for Russian horses. At one
time it was noted with satisfaction that
American horses had been purchased
for the Russian imperial studs, but re-
Gently every horse having American
blood has been removed from these
studs. Disinterested persons declare
this to be shortsighted policy, and say
the Americans do not care what ma
tionality a horse is provided he is fast.
American horses soon become ac-
climated in Russia, and after the first
wear stand the climate as well as native
animals.
No horse is barred from any race on
account of his speed, but fast horses
are handicapped by being required to
pull more weight and starting few
yards further back. In trotting races
in St. Petersburg only two horses start
in a hear from designated places at OPP
posite sides of the track at the sound
of an electric bell, which prevents jock
eying for position. The horses follow
each other twice or three times around
the track, the distance being either two
or three miles. No matter how many
entries there are in a single race, but
two horses are permitted on the track
at the same time, and the one making
the best time wins the race. In Moscow
the races are managed on the American
plan.
Races for the purpose Of testing the
endurance Of horses are frequent where
horses are driven from 25 to 80 miles,
then finish the last two or three miles
at the limit of their speed. The horse
finishing in the best condition and
showing The greatest speed at the close
is the winner.-Cincinnat Commercial
Tribune.

The passenger capacity of the vessels
on the Amazon river is not limited by
the number of berths or staterooms,
which are seldom or never used except
by the few foreign travellers, to dress
in, but by the limit of hanging room for
hammocks on the deck of the vessel.
Everybody of necessity must have a
hammock, says the Ledger Monthly, as
the state rooms are unbearable at night.
Even in the hotels hammocks are more
used than beds. Some of them are
very fine; those made of maqueira

are considered the best. 1t takes from

The feather work is most artistic and
very cleverly put together. The feath-

colors, and are taken from the most
brilliantly colored birds that are to be

great reputation for this kind of work.
These hammocks will last lifetime,
though in use every day and washed

are of German manufacture, made Of
cotton, and imported and sold very
cheaply. These, however, are very
warm, and keep out the cool drafts Of
air. The best cotton ones are ofnative-
grown cotton and are made in Maran-
hao. The grass hammocks are much
cooler than any bed. as they let the
fresh night breezes come through their
loosely woven meshes.

great railroad yards. Sometimes the
seeds OF these plants have been brought
thousands of miles from their natural
habitat. Often they flourish amid their
new surroundings, and gradually spread
over the surrounding country. Thus
the railroads carry unsupported emf
grants, which travel to and from every
point OF the compass. In the Mississip-

within few years past, have been thus
brought together, some from the At
