Americans are known as a dyspeptic
people. The extent of this disease may be
inferred from the multitude of so called
medicines" offered as remedy. They
are often in tablet form and have no value
except as palliatives of the immediate eff
fects of dyspepsia The man who used
them may feel better but is surely getting
worse. They do not touch the real cause
of the disease DR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery is medicine specially pre-
pared to cure diseases of the stomach and
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t is
not made to give temporary relief but to
effect permanent cure. In ninety eight
cases out of every hundred it cures per-
fectly and permanently.

Getting Used to Things.

1t is wonderful how soon you get
used to things, even the things you
want most; our watches, for instance.
We wanted them frightfully, but when
/ had mine for a week or two l hardly
cared to look at the works at all, and
it did not make me feel happy in my
heart any more, though of course
should have been very u iappy if ii
had been taken away from me. And
the same with new clothes and nice
dinners and having enough of every
thing. You soon get used to it all, and
it does not make you extra happy,
though if you had it all taken away you
would be very detected. THAT is good
word and one l have never used be.

Her brilliant Inspiration.

That the proTerbial absentminded
professor is sometimes ably abetted by
his wife is illustrated by story told
Of Professor Bunsen. One evening
about the usual hour for retiring he
took it into his head to run over to the
club just as he and madam were re-
turning from an evening call.
But" said the lady, 81 must have
the front door locked before L retire"
This emergency staggered the pro-
lessor, and as be looked bewildered at
his wife the lady, seized with an in
spiration, continued:
"I'll go in and lock the door and
throw you the key from the window"
This programme was carried out, and
when he reached the club the professor
related the incident to a friend as evil
dence of his wife's unusual sagacity.
The friend greeted the story with a
roar of laughter.
"And why, my dear professor" he
said, ibid you not simply admit your
wife, lock the door from the outside
and come away"
True" calculated the learned man
of science; 1--WE never thought of that
The climax of the incident was reach
ed an hour later when, returning home
the professor discovered that the lady
in her excitement had thrown out the
wrong key.

"An American woman" says the Bos-
ton Journal, "who lived In Paris was
famous for her cook. Her dinners were
popular and celebrated, and the CONVEX
sation was largely tribute to the chef.
The day came when she should return
to the United States. Could the cook
be persuaded to go with her? What!
Leave Paris? Neverp But she offered
him salary that was incredibly, pre-
posterously high, and he went with
her
"She had hardly settled her house
when she gave a dinner party that she
hoped would be sensational. Not one
dish was fit to be eaten. The hostess,
almost hysterical, after the gloomy
meal was over rushed to the kitchen
to find out whether the cooks art was
matter of Partisan atmosphere, and
then, and only then, she discovered
that her famous chef had never cooked
a dinner for her in Paris; that he had
got it all from world famous boule-
ward restaurant"

Fish That Go Forty Miles an H,

Fish That Go Forty Miles an Hour.
Few of us have an accurate idea of
the rate at which fish swim. When we
say that a person Is las fast as por-
poise," we hardly associate quick
rate of swimming with that individual,
yet he and everybody else would like
to be able to get through the water as
rapidly. PROPOSES have been seen to
dart round and round steamer travel
ing seventeen miles an hour, thus prov
ing their capacity to swim at a greater
rate than that.
The dolphin may be placed on level
with the porpoise, but the bonito has
occasionally been known to approach
forty miles for short distances.
Herrlngs, in shoals, move steadily ut
a rate between ten and twelve miles,
mackerel swim much faster, and both
trout and salmon go at rapid pace
when migrating up stream for spawn
ing.
Whales are not fish in the scientific
sense, but it is interesting to note that
these monsters swim at rate of six
teen miles an hour when excited. al
though their ordinary speed is estimat-
ed at between four and five miles.

The WATER Carnivora.

The number of carnivorouS creatures
found in the water seems out of all
proportion to the usual order of nature,
but this is perhaps because the minute,
almost invisible creatures of which the
rivers and ponds are full and which are
the main food of the smaller water car
nivora, live mainly on decaying vege-
table substance, which is practically
converted and condensed into micro
scopical animals before these become
in turn the food of others.
1t Is as if all the trees and grass on
land were first eaten by locusts or
white ants and the locusts and white
ants were then eaten by semicarnivo-
rous cows and sheep, which were in
turn eaten by true carnivora. The wa
ter weeds, both when living and decay
ing, are eaten by the entomostraca, the
entomostraca are eaten by the larvae
of insects, the perfect insects are eaten
by the fish and the fish are eaten by
men, offers and birds.
Thus we eat the products of the wa
ter plants at four removes in a fish,
while we eat that of the grass or tur-
nips only in the secondary form-beef
or mutton.
