TRICKS OF TRANSFORMERS.

One of the old slang phrases of the stage said Muggles, who used to be q good actor, was to pong. This means, or Used to mean, using your own language-that is, playing I part without cues of the proper lines, rely ing only upon q Knowledge of the play to carry you through. Years ago on the road there used to be some highly ludicrous situations in consequence Of q new play being produced in hurry. Tn stage manager, however, had a wonderful genius for patching up q hitch. When circumstances were necessary lie would sometimes lower q front scene and tell the low com edian and chambermaid to go on and keep it up. and while they did so he would arrange how the play had to be continued.
 "Of course actors are expected 10 help one another out of difficulty, but at times old grudgeS were paid off. For instance. 1 remember on one Occa- son q letter had to be read in one scene. Unfortunately this letter could not be found, so a 'dummy'-that is, blank sheet-was sent on the stage.
 Say, dnd,' said the actor who had to read the letter and seeing it blank, here's a letter for yon. You had bet ter read II yourself =aS | dlil sure IL contains good news
 But dad tumbled to the occasion and replied: No, Tom. you read it. I've mislaid my spectacles.'
 .'Bless me, said Tom, it is written so badly I cant make out q word of it. Here. Nelly. you read it.
 "The suSpecting Nelly takes the let ter. and seeing it blank, says: No, father had better read it. He will be able to make it out better. I'll go and fetch your spectacles. l know where they are And off she goes.-
 The old man is again equal to the occasion, and calls out to her: Never mind bringing them, Nelly, I'll come and get them Then he walked off, and the stage manager had to re- arrange the scene.
 ''Yes, sir, there's a lot, in the the atrical business you outsiders never dream of."-New York Times.

Mir Mckinley has eaten the crow prepared for him by the senate when it Americanized the IIay-paUncefote treaty before ratifying it. as though he enjoyed crow as much as he did Christmas turkey. But that isn't strange. He is always in favor of what the majority favors. He has heard from the people as well as from the senate and has directed that the amended treaty he forwarded to the British government with as much complacency as though it hadn't been amended at all. Secretary Hay made it easier for him by giving out an off cial statement saying that he was per sOnally responsible for the wording of the original treaty, and that it was agreed to by the British ambassador without the crossing of a "t' or the dOttiHg of an "i.' This action of Nr Hay was but following the example of Alger, who made himself a scape- goat to save Mir Mckinleys feelings It is the belief of most senators that England will accept the amended treaty. but many of them do not hesi- tate to say that it is perfectly imma- terial to them whether she does or not.

The draft of the consolidation bill. as prepared by the committee, and printed in yesterdays issue of the Democrat is complete, eX- cept ill reference to q part of the Bucks Hill school district which is to go back into the first dis trict. It includes that portion situated east of City Mills pond and Great brook. and is to go back to the first district for the reason that the place is but Sparsely settled and not suitable to be taxed the same as the rest of the property ill the second district. Prob ably this is true, but it is a question if the property i'll question is not more valuable than the vast tract of unim- proved land included in Mohawk park, Burnt Hill, s0-called. and other sec lions, which will not be improved dur ing the next century. and vet the com- mittee appears to have no uualnlS of conscience in stating that it should be taxed at full ateS Much of the prop- el'ty ill some of the town school dis

A'POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is in
digestion or in its chronic form dyspep-
STA, and for the very reason that it is so
common many people neglect taking prop
er treatment for what they consider trlti-
ing stomach trouble. when as a matter
of fact indigestion lays the foundation for
many incurable diseases. No person with
a vigorous, healthy stomach will fall VIC
tim TO consumption. Many kidney diseas-
es and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin, nervous people
are really so because their stomachs are
out of gear, weary, languid faded out
women owe their condition 10 imperfect
digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ent medicine on the market claims TO be a
cure for dyspepsia as well as a score of
ether troubles, when in fact, as
DIR. Werthier says, there is but
one genuine dyspepsia cure which
is perfectly safe and reliable,
and moreover, this remedy is not pat
ent medicine but Il Is scientific combi-
nation of pure pepsin Gree from animal
NATTER. vegetable essences fruit salts and
bismuth. 1t Is sold by druggists under
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No
extravagant claims are made for them,
but for INDIGESTION or any stomach trouble.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead
of any remedy yet discovered. They act
on the food eaten. no dieting is necessary,
simply eat an the wholesome food you
want and these tablets will digest 1t. A
cure results, because all the stomach
needs is a rest which Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets give by dohs the work OF dises-
ton
