the growing crops and ruin their pro-
ductiveness.
Diseases are to the BODY what weeds
are to the soil. They divert the nutri-
ton which is necessary to sound health,
and the body, instead of being strong
and hardy, drags out sickly existence.
When the stomach is diseased and the
other organs of digestion and nutrition
are involved with it, there is a constant
loss OF nutrition by the body. The stom-
ache and its allied organs are not able to
convert the foods into nourishment, and
hence the body and its several organs are
deprived of the necessary elements oI
vitality. What is known as "weak "
heart or "weak" lungs, vweak" nerves
and other forms of so-called weakness, are
generally caused by uweakn stomach.
When the stomach and the other organs
of digestion and nutrition are cured, then
the other diseases are cured with it. Dis
eases which are caused by diseased
condition of the stomach are cured
through the stomach. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases
of the stomach and its associated organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t cures
through the stomach diseases of heart,
lungs, liver and other organs. 1t in
creases the activity OF the blood-making
glands, SO that the whole body is nour-
ished by all abundant supply of pure
blood, rich in the bright red corpuscles
OF health.
There is no alcohol in "Golden Med
'ical Discovery" and it contains neither
opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic.
1t is strictly temperance medicine.
Persons suffering from chronic forms
of disease are invited TO consult DR..
Pierce by letter free. All correspondence
strictly private. Address DIR. ". Pierce,

The statistics on the subject do not extend hack more than 30 or 40 years and are very imperfect, but they indicate thai there is less defective vision now than there used to be, especially among school children.

We have a1s read how some of our great statesmen studied their les sons by the light of the fireplace, and if they ever did such thing, which doubt, you may rest assured they paid for it with spectacles in after life. The reason why so many glasses are seen nowadays is that the slightest visual defect is at once corrected, while in former times it was either ignored or unnoticed, and, though there are prob~ ebly more speetaeles among very old people you will likewise find fewer very old people totally blind."

 'fThe modern dentist need not be nearly as skilled workman as bis father was,s said one of the craft yes- terday. as he merrily knitted up a foot or two of nerve with his little crochet hook, entirely disregardIng his patients moans. You see, there are no beau tiful and artistic gold filings put in nowadays. As soon as tooth gives an opportunity for showing skill in flll- ing, presto! it is cut off and crowned or bridged with gold. A gold tooth is considered not unbeautiful, it seems but nowadays porcelain filings are preferred to metal 6nes for conspicu- ous places. The porcelain comes in a powder an impression of the cavity is taken, the filling made, baked hard, fn- serted, and secured by the cement with which the cavity has first been padded. AS all shades of porcelain are to be had to match the different tints of teeth, these filings are quite ineonspicuous. There are few people still who don't mind showing 8 gold mine when they open their mouths, and among these are eolored people, who seem to think they gain a certain amount of distinc- ton from such a display Among the most curious requests that I have had n regard to work was, one from an &C., tress to extend a cavity she had in a tront tooth so that 1t would form J, and fill it with gold.

 FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
The Chamber of Horrors" Which was Built Hundred Years Ago.

one of the curiosities in England at present is the old convict ship Success. which has recently been converted into a museum, or into what foreign jour- nalist style "a chamber of horrors" She was built no years ago. and her nfst years were spent in cruising be. tween the East Indies and England. In 1629 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters of westerp Australia. Capt. Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth place <he town of Perth in Australia takes it's Same. From 1847 to 1851 the Success piled between London and East Adelaide. On her last trip shs had on board several hundred immi- grants who intended to seek tireir for4 tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire. crew became seized with the same gold fever a1d the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off to seek their fortunes The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Var Dfemen's Land, as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as a floating prison for especially dangerous crim- inals, The vessel then became popu- larly know mas "The Hell of the Ocean,. a title which was evidently well deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were so fashioned that they could be made light or dark. and the most insubordinate prisoners vera always placed in the latter, These curious cells, many of the old instrus ments of torture and number of waS figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the sue- cess, and are attracting 6 crowd Of sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Harltor, in seotland.-New York Herald.

PRINCE OF MONACO
uas Made Rood Terms for Hinnssls
 with the Casino Company.

with the Casino Company
 Ten years have elapsed since Prince Albert aseended the throne of the Grimaldi amid Q pageant which re- called the middle ages, says the Gen. tleman's Magazine The reigning sov- ereign, who is 51 years old. was ed- ueated as naval officer, and has served in both the Spanish and French navies, taking part in the Franco Prussian war Of 1870. In England he is known for his papers on ocean, ography; in France he has lately mads himself conspicuous for his letter to Mime. Dreyfus; at home he is regard ed as a very shreWd man of business, who has made excellent terms for him. self with the Casino company. So far the most important event of his reign has been the renewal of M. Blanc's original concession, which would have expired in 1913, for a fur eher period of fifty years from that date. This new privilege will have cost from first to last million sterling in hard cash paid to the prince; an annuity rising every ten years, till it will reach Z 100000 in the last decade; a new opera house, to cost GSG 100, and, as a recognition of the artistic tastes of the prince, sum of s1,000 for each Of ten special representations at the theater. He also receives, as may be seen from the balance sheet of the company for last year, an additional grant of 920,00O for his law courts. police and army of seventy-fve men and Is also large shareholder in the concern. Besides all this, the Casino pays for public works and roads, light ing, the water supply, the official wash house, the state baths and the loss on the postoffice, while, true to the religious character of Monaco, it gives grants to the bishop, the clergy and the convents. In short, tue contem- porary history of Monaco is simply that of the Casino and the descendant of the GrimaIdi is that very modern product-tha aristrocratic fEaneier.

An Incident with Complications Just
 Little Out of the Usual.
 It always disturbs me-" aaid Mir Ellington, Ito see a man oR the ele- vated road offer his seat to woman when he is about to get off; he has perhaps let her stand in front of him for blocks. and now when he is about to give up his seat anyway he makes 8 show of giving it to her. curious exhibition of about three-quafters con- eeit and the rest cheek. Usually the woman pays no attention to this man. she takes the seat without thanks without taking any notice of the man whatever. But occasionally there is 8 variation of this incident. Sitting in an end corner seat, by the door, was tired man, who, in a crowded car had kept his seat seemingly because h., thought it was right that he should If he had thought it out at all-but who now when he was about to leave, wanted to have the right person get the seat he was leaving. With this idea in his mind and not with any con- ceit of gallantry, he, when he had risen, touched the sleeve of young woman who had been standing by the door on the other side of the car op- posite to him, to indicate to her that here was a seat. He was slow about this, with the slowness of one tired, or unaccustomed to asserting himself, and while he was stepping forward a small boy who had been standing by the door slid in back of him with boy ish celerity and took the seat. And he kept it +-New York Sun.
