A French aeronaut has invented a
"balloon bridge" which is, however,
not a bridge sustained by balloons in
the air, but supported by small balloons
or air bags on the surface of the water.
For a river 100 yards wide 200 bags are

FOR the BLOOD, uvER,LUN6S.

Experience has shown to physicians
that the majority of diseases have their
origin in the arrangement or disease of
the stomach and other organs OF diges-
ton and nutrition. The stomach is the
receptacle in which food is received and
the laboratory in which 1t is prepared to
nourish the different parts of the body.
It prepares brain nourisllment in one
way, nerve nourishment in another,
muscle nourishment in another. When
the stomach is "out of order" these
various forms of nourishment are only
partly or imperfectly prepared, and
nerve muscle, or brain, as the case
may be, is only partly fed and the result
is pain, which is Natures protest and
warning The pain may be in the head
or in the heart but you must reach it
through the stomach or you can't cure
it. That is the philosophy on which DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery IS
prepared 1t has absolute control of

IMPORTANT DECISION An important de-
dslon was rendered recently by the Circuit
Court for Baltimore County in the case oi
the Singer Manufacturing Co. against Eman'
uel Heman. The defendant dstrained for
rent on a machine which had been sold by
the plaintiff to William T. Proctor, and was
claimed to have been exempt from dslraint
as it was only leased by the latter. Suit was
brought to recover $55, the value of the ma
chine. The written agreement under which
the machine was alleged to have been leased
was offered rs evidence, and was the same as
is used by install ment dealers. The court
held that. according to law, the machine had
been sold TO Proctor and was subject to dis
trant for rent, and dismissed the suit. 1t is
the first time that the question involved has
been decided by Il Maryland court, and the
decision is regarded as Of great Importance
to persons selling household goods on install
ment. Pianos and sewing machines, rented
or leased, are, by statute, exempt from dis
trant for rent.

His doughty deed of chivalry was

"Look There's auntiel" crowod
the baby sister, and trotted across the
street to meet Mrs. Cochrane's sister,
who was approaching the house.

INCREASING VOGUE OF LAMPS.

------
A Few Helpful Suggestions For the Dusy
Housewife.
The manufacture of lamps has in.
creased to wonderful degree
The great bugbears about lamps are
the chimneys and wicks; on these and
on the kerosene odor depend the OBJ.
jections. All of these may be readily
overcome. A perfect chimney for any
lamp should be as large in diameter
as the brackets of the burner will per.
nit; it shonld be as high as convent.
ent, and not too narrow toward the
top. The cost of maintaining a lamp
in daily use is not more than one.
eighth that CT any other illuminant.
1t is also the only true artificial light
for the eyesight. Soft and untiring,
steady and mellow, it is most grateful
to the eyes.
AS to the best colors in globes, vel.
low or white gives the best results.
Green is not so desirable, aud al
though much affected by students and
others who burn the midnight oil, it
is easy to be seen that the area of il
Illumination is contracted, while in the
daytime no lamp can show to advan-
tage when hooded in the dark shroud
of the green glass. There are about
eighty-tive styles of burners on the
market, and the great trouble is with
the wicks. This lisa crucical test of
patience to the housewife or the maid
who has the care of the lamps. Re-.
wicking, which is necessary so often;
the care of the wicks, rubbing the
wick each morning; the charred por-
tion, whlc insists in falling ON the
burner with the intelligence of orig
inal sin; the gummy substance which
forms on the tubing around the wick
all these are exasperating trials. All
these may easily be overcome by n few
simple rules, so that almost any lamp
will give satisfaction.
First, be careful to see that the wick
space, or tube, is perfectly straight
and even, so that the wick will not
bind anywhere. Next see that the
draught support is perfect and ade-
quate to support q large flame. Also,
do not neglect to have tho reservoir
at least two. thirds full of oil. Lamps
are many times blamed for giving a
poor light when the whole fault lies
with the maid who did not feed the
lamp enough food to support its life.
Last and well nigh most important of
all, see that you have the proper wick.
1t should not fit the space too tight
ly, should not be woven too COM
pactly, aud should be made Of ma.
terial as nearly non combustible as is
practical.
Lastly, the housewife who really
understands the care of her lamps
will give the reservoir a thorough
cleaning once month, and if the
wick has become clogged with the
waste matter it has drawn up, she will
replace it with a new one. Properly
handled, nothing will give so much
real pleasure and such sense of har-
mony as the lamp, while, for decora-
tive purposes, nothing can compare
with il.

THE TABLES TURNED.

"a Twentieth Century Drama.)
The woman she sat in her dusty den,
Her papers all scattered about,
While she toilsomely sought. with pipe ana
pen,
To strnighten her business out,
When sudden cry
or agony
From her husband smote her ear
Help! Herpl Be quickl
oh, 1t makes me sicki
L shall die II you don't come here"
The woman she strode across the floor
An anxious frown on her brow,
And she tenderly said, as she opened the
door,
"What troubles my Poppet now?"
For perched on chair
High up In air
That frantic man sne found,
And he gave a shrek
At every squeak
OF the mouse that played around.
"Just look" he sobbed with his coat held
high,
As he poised on the tip of his toe;
"What a savage jerk of his tall Oh, myi
1t will run up my clothes, know
How its eyebals glare!
And its mouth-see, therei
Oh, it's going to jumpl Be qulck!''
Thus the man walled on
Till the mouse was gone.
Scared off by the womans stick.
The woman she smiled at his pretty fears
In fond, superior way,
While he strove to check the bursting
tears,
AS he bEeathlessly watched the fray.
Then the man TO the floor
She helped once more,
And lovingly kissed and caressed
Her strong arm she wound
His frail form around
And he wept out his fright on her breast.

Extent of matchmaking in Peru.

Blackmailing in Peru has in many
directions been reduced to regul ar
practice, and is, unfortunately, too
often successful in attaining its end.
The judicial officials get salaries so
low that the temptation to accept
bribes is invariably before them-a
temptation which they are said by COM
mon report to be unable to resist in
the great majority of cases. Crime is
not SO prevalent in Peru as might rea-
sonably be expected in view of the
low state of civilization of the greater
part of the inhabitants. In 1898 the
nun Der of prisoners undergoing SEN
tence for serious offences was 1406,
of whom 404 were condemned for
homicide, 80 for attempted homicide,
349 for robbery, 226 for assault, and
the remainder for various crimes. The
total number of police employed to
maintain order in 1898 was TIA, and
of mounted gendarmer 514. This
total of 1928 officers and men is
very scanty number when
the great extension of territory is
considered, and yet the force is suf-
ficient if the duties were efficiently
and intelligently performed.
