Good Advice.

The most miserable beings in the

these two diseases and their effects:
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
ha bitual c~ostiveness, p%alpitation of the
heart. heartburn, water-brash, gnaw,

Such q Noise

II can hardly endure it." Then a chill
crceps over her as she thinks of The aw-
ful silence which falls upon the home
when children are taken away and she
is glad her children are hardy of body
and lusty of lungs.
When a child does not enjoy noisy
sports and games there is something
wrong, and that something will often be
found to be a lack Of nutrition adequate
to the needs of youth and growth. The
stomach is weak" digestion is iinper-
feet, and 50 the uourislment of the body
is inadequate.
III such cases DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery works wonders. 1t
changes puny, fretfui children into
healthy, happy girls and boys. The
process by which this change is ac-
cornplished is strictly along the lines
marked by Nature. All growth and
strength come from food when it has
been digested, converted into nutritioA
and assimilated. Golden Medical Dis

It v of the barbarity of the Sioux.
Two comments by Wyoming papers
will be of interest. The Douglas Budg-
says:
Chained to a piece of railroad rail
firmly in the ground on the very
spot where ten days before he had raw
ished and then murdered 2 little 10
ycar-old girl, Preston Porter, a negro,
was burned to ashes. This at Limon,
Colorado, last Friday evening. AS a
people we are wont to boast Of our ad-
vances in civilization and of our re-
spect for the law-and history sustains
us. To bind with chains a human be-
ing: to pile faggots about him waist
high; to saturate the funeral pyre with
kerosene and apply the match; to
watch the red flames take hold of and
literally roast and burr to ashes the
human sacrifice. who held his blazing
hands to'ra heaven and pleaded for
mercy, would seem to be the work Of
devils rather than of men. But Por-
ter's crime justified it. 9y his own
confession he walked two miles to the
spot where he knew he would intercept
the little girl on her way home from
the postofice. Dragging her into the
weeds by the roadside he satisfied his
lust. and then with a pocketknife he
stabbed and slashed her tender body
again and again and finally crushed her
skull with the heels of his shoes. The
law is all right and a good thing; but
punishment for a crime like this?
Chicken-hearted and damphool senti-
mentalists may hold up their hands in
holy horror, and the world at large may
condemn if it pleases; but where IS the
father who. if the shoes of Tie faith
er of Porter's victim-who lit the
hell if there is such a place-who would
who could-do less?'
And the Wheatland World says:
Colorado has done it again!
There's no question about it. The at,
fair at Limon last Thursday when citi,
zens deliberately roasted alive young
has created a sensation from one end
Of the country to the other, and Colo
RADIO is being mercilessly condemned by
all the metropolitan papers. That the
crime Of which Porter was guilty de,
served death. everybody admits: and
that the wanton and inhuman acts OF
Porter were sufficient to justify lynch,
ing if it car be made justifable, is a
proposition equally admissible. But
days after a crime. when there has
been time for passionate rage to give
way to sober judgment, there can be nc
justifiable reason offered for the afro,
cious torture inflicted in the case of
Porter. When the law and the courts
seem inadequate to b~efittingly punish
crime, some reason may be found for
mob law: but in the inhuman acts OF
one person can be found no justifica'
ton for equal inhumanity on the part
of others. Porter deserved to die, but
his execution should have been decent
lily conducted. To inflict torture is the
act Of heathenish fiends: it outrages
human instincts and cannot be toler
ated by the civilized mind. There is a
disgusting stencil about this miserable
affair like that of burning flesh"

ANCIENT SUNDAYS.
The Earliest Was Probably Nomad
Chiefs Spear.


1t Is probable that the earliest sun
dial was simply the spear of some no.
mad chief stuck upright in the ground
before his tent. Amongst those desert
wanderers, keen to observe their sur
roundings, it would not be a difficult
thing to notice that the shadow short
ened IS the sun rose higher in the sky,
md that the shortest shadow always
pointed in the same direction-north.
The recognition would have followed
very soon that his MONDAY shadow
changed it's length from day to day.
A six-foot spear would give shadow
at MONDAY in latitude 40 of twelve
feet at one time of the year, or less
han two feet at another. This in
strument, SO simple, so easily carried,
so easily set up, may well have begun
the scientific study of astronomy, for
it lent itself to measurement, and
science is measurement; and probably
we see it expressed In permanent form
in the obelisks of Egyptian solar tenn
pies, though these, no doubt, were re-
tanned merely as solar emblems ages
after their use as actual instruments
of observation had ceased. An upright
suck, carefully plumbed, standing on
some level surface, may, therefore, we'll
make the first advance upon the natu-
raj horizon. A knob on the top of the
stick will be found to render the shad-
ow more easily observed.

A Very Good Reason.

One reason why the boards of trade
and the commercial bodies in the
United States are getting interested in
good roads is the fact that the whole
business of the country is suffering fol
the want of them.
Take the State of New York, where
agriculture ought to be more prosper
GUS than in any other State OF the
Union. Til, great cities and towns o!
the State would make a home market
for more tn an its farms can produce
but for the want of good roads, reliable
all the year round, the New York farm
ers have no command of their own
markets, and the produce dealers, even
in the interior cities and towns, have
no certainty of regular supply from
the surrounding farms, and are there
fore obliged to have recourse to other
States and Canada for their supplies.

A Curious Old Church.

Boston church, in Lincolnshire, Eng
land, the tower of which is better
known as Boston Stump, has some very
peculiar features. There are 365 steps
in the tower corresponding to the num-
Der of days in the year. The church
itself possesses twelve pillars, ffty-two
windows, and seven doors, the analogy
of which is obvious. Further symbols
of time are to be found in the western
porch, where, leading to the library,
there are twenty-four steps, represent
ing the hours constituting day;
whilst in the choir are two lots OF
steps, each numbering sixty, by means
of which the roof may be reached, and,
of course, representing minutes and
seconds. The foundation-stone was
laid about six hundred years ago, and
the work of erection occupied nearly o
century.
