Question Answered,

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine IN the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmethers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
Iousness. Doctors were scarce and
Ghey seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late 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 head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form. to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by Geo
James & Go.

Island Is in the interest of safety. as
well as the superiority of the steel
platforms over the old style wooden
ones. Geo F Wilson, superintendent
OF motive power and equipment, of
the road. says in regard to the steel
platform, sit is the greatest improve
ment to passenger equipment of re-
cent date. and in conjunction with
the present wide vestibuling of our
coaches and trains, in point OF solid
ity and strength, is the nearest sp-
preach to perfection yet attained"
There is an interesting story in
connection with this change of wood
en- to steel platforms. A short time
ago there was an accident in the
yards of one of the roads centering
in Chicago which proved to be q
great object lesson. A passenger
eeach, standing ca a side track, was
run into with considerable force by
switch engine. The accident proved
disastrous to the engine, as it had its
front end stove in, while the only
damage done to the coach was the
breaking of several panes of glass
and slight straining and splintering
of the end. The coach was equipped
with steel platform and this protect
ed the car from serious damage.

And the Proposed Monument to the La
 mented General Terry.
 A reunion of the Seventh Connecticut regiment will be held in Middletown on Thursday, September 6, at which some important matters will be considered after the social feature of the occasion have been enjoyed. Prominent mem- bers of the regiment have been endeav- bring to create interest in erecting a memorial monument to General A. H. Terry and there Is very strong senti- ment among the New Haven vets to have the monument erected in that city. Two sisters of the lamented general have offered to contribute one thousand dollars each toward the proposed mon- ument on condition that a site for 1t Is selected in New Haven, and prominent residents of the Elm City have also sig- nified their willingness to subscribe lib- orally towards 1t on the same condi- tions. At the meeting to be held in Middletown in September the question of providing 0 monument and the place of It's location will be considered There is some rivalry as to where the memo rial shall be placed, but the members of the historic Seventh in this section strongly favor New Haven--Hartford Times.

A TEXAS STEER.
And How he Destroys Interest in a
 Bull-Fight

And How he Destroys Interest in a Bull-Fight.
 A resident of Des Moines, Iowa, was a witness to a Spanish bull fight at Se-
 vile, Spain, few years ago, at which
 one of the animals in the amphitheater
 was a Texas steer. A steer, he says, will never attack a horse or man on
 horseback A man on foot he may kill
 but a man on horseback he will not
 molest. He also does not shut his eyes when he charges while a bull takes his line and then shuts his eyes and charges, never deviating from the line his sight gave him before he closed his orbs. This it is that enables the torea- dor to step so easily out of the way, for the bull, not seeing, makes no attempt to reach the man when he has moved from the spot he occupied when the bull charged.
 "The only trial of the Texas steer" continued the Iowan, was pulled off at Seville, and while they intended pot ting seven the first one they let loose gave them all they wanted and quickly brought that experiment to an inglori- ous finish. After the steer had cavorted about the ring for a while they turned a horse loose. The steer paid no atten- ton to him, but the horse, fearful of the unknown beast, would not advance. In came a helper with a sharp stick, and the steer, positively believing for joy. started, as the crowd supposed for the horse. By him the steer went in pursuit of the bigger game, and the helper shortly cleared the protective fence with ten feet to spare owing to the steers able assistance. The repre- sentative of the Texas cattle trade went over that six foot barrier as though it was a prairie dog mound of his native plains but the helper won out to one of the protective boxes and safety.
 The steer did his best to get at him, but finding it impossible, looked about for other game with which to sport. The stone seats are ten feet above the ground and this has always been an insurmountab barrier for bull, but they reckoned without their Texas steer when they built them, for as soon as the steers eyes lit on the thong above his head he stepped back and the next instant he was among them. Before the people could escape he had tossed half dozen into the ring, but they were all rescued by the ring attendants. The stone seats cleared, the steer re- turned to the ring, and seeing no one else to throw down the gage of battle to, took the exact center of the ring and beloved his defiance to the universe. In the meantime the management had been busy and a soldier with a Mauser rifle had been summoned from a near- by barrack With the box rail as a rest he took steady aim, and with the ping of the bullet the steers life ended but the Spanards have not experiment. ed with American steers in Spanish bull rings since that time, nor are they like ly to again. Like other things Ameri- can, the Texas steer is not now popular in Spain. Chicago Chronicle.

STUDIES OF PLANT GROWTH.
Exhibition of Instinct Akin to That of
 Animals


 The mechanism of plant adaptations is one of the most interesting subjects in biology, and some careful observa- tions along this line are published by pr. H. o. Juel, in the last number of the "Jahrbucher Fur Wissenchaftliche B0tanik" Some writers compare the way in which plants sense external con- ditions and respond to them with simi- lar sensations and responses in ami mals. It is as difficult to make close dis melton between them as it is to make distinction between plants and animals that will hold in all cases, for the two great divisions of organic life have much in common, and if we are to accept the theories of the evolutionists they are probably descended from a common ancestor, possessing many of the characteristics of both.
 A child may reach for rod and take hold of it. and a vine may swing it's branches around until it comes in con- tact with the same rod and twine it's tendrils around it, doing essentially what the child has done; but as the child has a nervous system and intelli- sence, while the plant has neither, 1t .s

SENATOR LODGES SPEECH.
Bryan's Course Would Rekindle Fires
 of Insurrection.

Old Orchard Me, Aug 22.-Four ad- dresses, not including that of the chair man. were crowded into this afternoon at the republican mass meeting. The sneakers were Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Lee Fairchild of California, General Adam E. King of Maryland and Congressman Samuel Mccall of Massachusetts Ex-Gover = nor Henry B. Cleaves of Portland pre- sided The meeting was held in the camp ground grove.
 Of the four speakers Senator Lodge and Congressman Mccall were new ar rivals in the Maine campaign.
 The Massachusetts senator was ac- corded first place in the list and he spoke fifty-three minutes, devoting his attention to a discussion of the ques- ton of imperialism He declared that the cry of imperialism is bogus is- sue: that nobody believes in It. not even the democrats themselves; that it is beginning to break down and before the campaign is a fortnight older will have been abandoned by the democratic orators. He said that those who have watched the recent drift of affairs in Kentucky have seen as much of a crushing out of popular will as ever ex- isted in the Philippines.
 Speaking of Bryan's advocacy of calling an extra session of congress for the purpose of giving the Filipinos stable government Senator Lodge said that is precisely what we mean to give them and have been trying to give then'
 AS to Bryan's policy of promising the Filpinos independence he declared that such a course would be but rekind ling of the fires of inSurrection. To eX- ercise protectorale over them wou be to take all the responsibility and have no power over them.
