THE FEAR OF HUMBUe
Prevents Many People From Trying a
Good Medicine.

NiOOO HChiOilCH
Stomach troubles are so common and In
pie are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming TO he a radical perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their acute
ness in never being humbugE'd especially
in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can he
carried too far 50 far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak dIge Stion
rather than risk little time and money
in faithfully testing the clnims made Of
a preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vast

Antiquity of Man.

From a review in Science of De Nor
tlllets great work on prehistoric times
the following is condensed. Twelve
chapters are devoted to the question Of
tertiary man. 1t is concluded that
whilc man did not exist during this
period, precursors OF man more intelll-
gent than any Of the living anthropolda
did exist.
Plthecanthropus erectus is consider
ed as the immediate precursor Of man.
The Calaveras skull is rejected. The
paleolithic period Is considered as cor
responding to the early quarternary,
and $4,000 years is assigned as the
length Of this period. Add to this mum.
Der 10000 years for the protohlstoriC
and neolithic periods and 1900 years
more for the historic period. and we
have 28s,000 years, which is, according
to the authors, a moderate estimate OF
mans anuouIuy.

slam on the climate OF Phoenix. A
few days ago the Model Grocery COM
pany received a consignment Of can

sent to customer, but before she had
time to use It a misunderstanding
arose between her and her cook and
the cook left. The lady determined
then to take her meals out until the

cordingly sent the ham back and day
or so ago it was sold to another Gus
toner, who subsequently returned it
on the ground that it was cooked. 1t
had every appearance and also the
taste of having been boiled. Mr.,
Gray of the giocery company desires

LINCOLN ADOPTED 1T.

His Famous Phrase, "Of the People"
Originated by Theodore Parker.
William. H. Herndon, Lincoln's law
partner, knew Theodore Parker well
and had much correspondence with
him, and after the Lincoln-Douglasd de-
bate he came on to Boston and saw
Parker and other antlslavery men with
an eye to Llncoln's political prospects.
Going back to Springfield, he took with
him some Of Parker's newer sermons
and addresses. zone OF them," he
says in his Abraham Lincoln" was a
lecture on The Effect of Slavery on
the American People, which was de-
livered in the Music hall, Boston, and
which gave to Lincoln, who read and
returned it. He liked especially the
following expression, which he marked
with a pencil and which he in sub
stance afterward used in his Gettys-
burg address: Democracy is direct self
government, over all the people, by all
the people, for all the people," The
address referred to Parkers last great
antlslavery address) was delivered July
4, 1858.
Here, submit, was the probable ori-
gin Of Lincoln's phrase. In one variant
or another 1t was a great favorite with
Parker, often taking the exact form
that Lincoln gave II, with his sure in
tuition Of the best where there was any
choice of words. In a speech delivered
by Parker in 1850 we find 1t imbedded
In a passage which might have been
the inspiration of Stewards famous
'irrepressible conflict" or Lincoln's
''house divided against ITSELF" a view
to which Parker continually required.
In two other speeches 1t stands "gov-
ernment of all the people, by all the
people, for all the people" It's earliest
appearance that have discovered In
his writings is in a letter to Rev. Sam
uel ]. May in 184S, where 1t is simply

TRICKS IN rHg sILK TRADE.


HOW BhonpeFn Are E0UleO@Io1tH

Pure silk, when It has been through
all the processes necessary to bring out
all its good qualities, is worth It's
weight In silver. said an expert the
other day. Therefore the women who
expect to buy pure silk at little more
than the price Of cotton must expect to
be fooled, and there are lots OF ways by
which the manufacturer gets even with
them.
They make stuff that is called silk
and passes for It with eredulOus per
sons who don't know any better out Of
hearty any old thing now. One favor
lite imitation silk is made Of cellulose
treated with chemicals. 1t isn't a good
material to get on fire In. Then there
are south sea island cottons and some
mercerlzed cotton which after treat.

OF course they wear very differently,
and their silken appearance soon van

But 1t is in adulterating goods which
really have some silk in them that the
greatest skill is exercised to deceive
the buyer. To obtain the required rus.
tie and body rough floss is often used
for the woof of the material. This soon
causes 1t to wear shiny.
Another trick is to increase the
weight and apparent solidity OF film.
sy silk material by using metallic salts
in the dye watts. Pressing with some
kinds Of silk increases the weight also,
but at the sacrifice Of strength. Cheap,
crackly, stiff silk which has heavy
cords is good silk to avoid. 1t won't
wear.
There are several tests which reveal
readily the purity Of a piece Of silk.
The microscope of course viii show It
at once, even to an Impractical eye.
Pure silk has the appearance Of fine,
smooth tubes. Another good test is by
burning. Pure silk burns slowly, with
a slight odor. Cotton flares up quickly
and would throw or a decidedly disa-
greeable smell.
Then the tongue will readily reveal
the presence Of metallic salts. There is
no mlstaking their taste. But all these
may be disregarded, said the expert.
