1t Is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness Is disease and
not weakness. A body filed with pois-
on, and nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and graduating this poison,
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"HoME GOLD CURE" which has been per-
fected after many years of close study and
treatment of inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this wonderful
discovery Is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate case, no matter how
hard drinker. Our records show the
marvellous Transformation of thousands of
Drunkards into sober, Industrious and
upright men.
Wives Cure Your Husbands! Children
Cure Your Fathers This remedy Is in
no sense nostrum, but Is specific for
this disease only, and is so skillfully de-
vised and prepared that 1t Is thoroughly
soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that
1T can be given In cup of coffee or tea
without the knowledge of the person
takingit. Thousands of Drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless rem
dy, and as many more have been cured
and made temperate men by having the
"Cure'' administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge In
coffee or tea, and believe to-day that they
discontinued drinking of their own free
will. Do Not Wait. Do not be deluded
by apparent and misleading ssimprove-
ment." Drive out the disease at once
and for all time. The "Home Gold Cure"
is sold at the extremely low price of One
Dollar, thus placing within reach of every
body a treatment more effectual than
others costing $25 to $50. Full directions
accompany each package. Special ad-
vice by skilled physicians when requested
without extra charge. Sent postpaid to
any part of the world on receipt of One
Dollar. Address Dept. A, 344, EDWIN b.

Wild Zebra9.

The zebra when wild is a ferocious
animal, and an unwary hunter is likely
to suffer from it's teeth and hoofs. The
author Of "Kloof and Karroo" says that
a Boer in Cape Colony had once forced
a zebra to the brink of a precipice,
when the desperate creature turned up
on him, attacked him with it's teeth and
actually tore one Of his feet from the
Leg
Another author writes Of soldier
who mounted a half domesticated ze-
bra. The creature, after making the
most furious attempts to get rid Of its
rider, plunged over a steep bank into
the river and threw the soldier as 1t
emerged.
While the man lay half stunned upon
the ground the zebra quietly walked up
to him and bit off one of his ears.

The highest of all the clouds are
those delicate, white, f1brous, detached
masses of frozen vapor; always seem
high against the blue sky. The top
most point of the highest Of these may
be ten miles above the earth. They are
called cirrhus clouds. Altogether there
are ten principal types of clouds. The
lowest, known as the stratus, are really
horizontal sheets of lifted fog seen on
damp days or in very damp localities.
These clouds are only a few hundred
feet above the earth.
Some Of the vast bodies of vapor are
higher than the tallest Of the Alps.
They are undoubtedly snow capped
veritable mountains Of ice and snow.
1t has been discovered that the tenn
perature on one such summit was rs
degrees below zero.
Were it possible for us to ascend in a
balloon and penetrate one Of these
snow capped peaks from base to sum-
NIT we should travel first through q
layer of dry air, vapor and water, a
third of freezing vapor, water and ice,
and finally through the summit, COM
posed of dry air, vapor and ice, but no
water. -

The best account Of the origin Of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris.
Henry w of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
Ind, feeling thirsty, called at wayside
I'M for a cup of wine. The serving
maid on handing it to him as he sat on
horseback neglected to present the han
ole. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets were "soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that two handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this, SO his majesty
had a two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when, to his astonishment, the
maid, having received instructions
from her mistress to be very careful of
the kings cup, presented it to him by
holding it herself by each Of its han
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king of cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out of
three handles 1 shall be able to get
oney' Hence the loving cup.

Partly from historical and partly per-
/ Ups from racial causes the English
& essentially unmilitary. They resent
the control Of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. Its unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
institutions. For many years 1t made
it impossible to have standing army.
Even when the course Of events made
1t necessary to concede that much to
the military necessities of the time 1t
still remained a maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the SOL
diers: that their business was to fight
our wars, and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them In
the body polite.
We do not think it necessary to de-
fend this attitude Of mind. Like most
popular feelings, it is largely unjust,
but also, like many popular feelings, 1t
is based to some extent on a true con-
ception. Politically, using the word in
its largest sense, the domination Of the
military idea in a state is calamitous.
It tends, we believe, to destroy individ-
uality and is serious menace to ind1-
viduaf liberty. = English Monthly Re

A call was once made by a dozen
noted artists of the Academy of De-
sign, in 1870, Cd Horace Greeley. Mr..
Clarence Cook, then the art critic Of
The Tribune. had been saying things
about the academy exhibition which
caused the venerable chiefs Of that es-
tablishment to boil with indignation.
One day committee went down to
The Tribune to complain. Mr.. Greeley,
having listened in silence to what these
gentlemen had to say, looked up from
his desk. a twinkle in his eye, and
said. with his peculiar nasal falsetto:
Gentlemen, l judge from your re-
marks that Mr.. Cooks articles are
widely read. They will therefore con-
tinue to be printed in The Tribune.

MANY years ago." writes a New
Hampshire clergyman in the Boston
journal, sit was the custom to store
liquors in church cellars in Boston;
not all of them. but many Of them.
AS late as 1850, and probably later, the
cellar of the stone church on Bowdoin
square was used by the Trull distillery
near by pitts street. If am right for
the ripening in hogsheads Of New Eng
land rum. Some one found a hymn
book in a pew and copied in there the
following verse:
'"There spirits above and spirits below.
The spirits of love and the spirits of woe.
The spirits above the spirits of love;
The spirits below are the spirits Of woe.
~ The spirit above is the spirit divine;
The spirits below the spirits Of wine.
ST have myself frequently watched
the men putting hogsheads of rum into
the cellars or taking them out"

Fishing Hooks.

Fishing hooks are as old as Adam,
made Of stone, bone, thorns and any
old thing, not to mention deer horn and
boars' tusks. The bronze hook Of the
bronze age was succeeded by the hook
Of iron. The aborigines Of Colombia
used gold hooks, while the ancient peo-
pie Of Peru made theirs Of copper. The
bronze hook Of today is considered an
expensive luxury. For years the most
important seat Of f1shhook manufac-
ture was Limerick, Ireland, but the
once popular Limerick has been super
seeded by several styles Of American
make that are not only much cheaper,
but are not inferior. AS for our fine
ROOSEVELT, we have them from two
and one-half ounces up to ten pounds.
and some Of them can be tied in bow
knots. OF course our lines are UNI
equaled.-New York Press.

Idleness is at the bottom of the
drunkenness, gluttony and sensuallty
which compass the destruction Of one
section Of the community at the present
time 1t is at the bottom Of that partic-
ular form of heartache which is the
plague Of women-the heartache Of a
purposeless, miserable existence. Such
women often look forward to marriage
to cure them, but when they are mar
ried and settled the old malady recurs,
and in our own day we see them rum
ming hlther and thither after that elu-
sive something. Others try to find a
cure in the suffrage and others again in
cigarettes.-Sarah Grand.
