Danger in Soda.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right In its place and
indispensable in the Kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes. but 1t was never In
tended for a medicine, and people who use 1t
as such will some day regret 1t.
We refer to the common of soda to re-
leve heartburn sour stomach, habit which
thousands of people practice almost daily. and
one which is fraught with danger: moreover
the soda only gives temporary relief and in the
end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant TO the
walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are
on record where it accumulated in the intes-
tines. causing death by Inflammation or peri
tonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the safest and
surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia
an excellent preparation sold by druggists I'M
der the name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
These tablets are large 20 grain lozenges very
pleasant TO taste and contain the natural acids,
peptones and digestive elements essential to
good digestion, and when taken after meals
they digest the food perfectly and promptly be-
fore It has time to ferment, sour and poison

Statistics are not very interesting, but
there are some stories of the hotels that
they alone can tell, and that of the sup
plies is one of them. For instance, during
the year 1900 one of these big hotels spent
for meats, $4,000: for poultry. $4,000;
for vegetables, $50, 900; for fruit, $4,000;
for eggs, $4,000; for butter. $4,000. and
for the flowers used in decorations-and
there are flowers on the tables every day
$50. 900. The initial investment in silver
ware was s250.OOO and with the losses
that, charitably, are credited to the SOU
venir craze. and the general wear and
tear on table service. about $4,000 a year
is spent in keeping this supply up to the
hotels standard. One New York hotel
that suffered severely from the souvenir
spoon and salt, cellar mania adopted sew
eral years ago the plan'of notifying guests
that each waiter was responsible indi-
vidually for all articles on his table and
would have to make good any loss. This
reduced the taking of spoons to robbery
of the waiter instead of the hotel, and
even the souvenir hunter has some con-
science about such theft. In the big
gest of New York hotels $4,000 a year is
spent in replenishing the linen, and looms
in Belfast are busy the year round for 1t.
The expenses OF me other hotels for re-
pairs are proportionately as large, for in
the fierce business rivalry of the times
none of them can afford to get shabby.

in the cottage the manager OF beach
hotel received a peculiar offer. Some
dozen society stars wished to exchange
places with the help and run the hosiery
for one day There were too many big
names to refuse so the manager smiled
and wrote back an acceptance OF the
offer. Next day he told his help to take
a holiday.
In few hours a great sensation was
flashed across the country. Mrs. Van
Ruckle the wife Of the great railroad
magnate, was seen washing dishes In a
hotel at Newport. Mrs. Minnow, the ac-
knowIedged leader Of beach society, was
seen making up beds. Mrs. De Vile and
Mrs. Smythe were washing windows.
Messrs. Pembroke and Bjones and several
other social lions were acting as walters.
As for Reginald, he was just Buttons"
what new brilliancy is this?' asked
thu society reporter. Truly, the brains
of Newport are very active!"
It was a great victory for Reginald. He
reached the pinnacle of popularity and
married a rich widow. 1t is said he cam

REGINALD THE "oRlelNAL'
Newport's Latest.

Ever since the red-letter day when
Reginald donned long trousers and read
the society page he had a wild ambition
to visit Newport-gay Newport-with its
scintillations, originalities and eccentri-
cities. And now, after almost hopeless
waiting, it seemed as though the one wish
of his young heart would be fulfilled. And
it all happened this way. Reginald dis
covered that he was immensely popular
with the ladies. There was no doubt
about this. Whenever he favored a straw
ride or a lawn fete with his presence he
was certainly "it' The bevy of giddy
girlhood would SURROUND him with fakes
of chewing gum and literary criticisms.
The chaperons and gifls the least bit re-
served would stand on the rim of the en-
thusiastic circle and admire his uphol-
stored shoulders and genuine Panama.
So 1t was not very long before Reginald
had bad case of enlarged Uranium. He
considered the position of local lion a lit
tie too shallow and decided to strike out
for deeper water
There is much deep water around New
port and consequently the Getty by the
sea" was Reginalds destination. On the
way to the station he stopped in a small
street and had his head examined by a
phrenologist. With bfeathless suspense
he heard the venerable sage announce that
the largest bumps on his head meant
originality. Reginald could have shouted
With originality and feminine popularity
his Newport career was assured, 50 he
purchased hgood supply of open-clock
hosiery and a few neckties and took the
limited express.
Going down in the chair car Reginald
constructed mental pictures of being run
over by a billionaire's automobile and
wedding a rich widow. Surely the future
was rosy.
1t was Reginald's Third day at New
port, and the enterprising young gallant
found that, in spite or his accomplish
ments, he was a back number in the
smart circle. He had SO many rivals
Foremost was Harry, who had conceived
the wonderful pajama dance on the beach
at midnight. Then there was Freddy,
who inaugurated the red shoelace fad, to
say nothing of Willie, WHIP had run down
six persons with his BLACK Devil"
These youthful lights W ere the lions of
the day, and when Reginald was pre-
scented to anyone he was compelled to fall
back on the weather for a talking sub
ject But, though Reginald was some
what discouraged he Was far from
daunted One night, as he rolled over his
pillow and tugged at the hair on his origi-
nal bump, a great idea flashed through
his mind. All great ideas are meteoric.
For being bizarre this scheme would
eclipse every monkey race and medicine
ball ever conceived by the ''originals' of
the beach.
Next day there was SECRET conference
held in a cottage some distance back
from the sea. Reginald presided, and
those of the exclusive set who were pres
ent were captivated by his unique scheme.
He was congratulated and assured Of
their support.

NEGRO American Dialect.

The Independent.
When our colonists came to this coun-
try they brought with them what was
then a wealth of literature or written
language, almost entirely classic. This
soon became the language of the country
and through it many words and express
sions that have been retained here, no
ticeably by the conservative southerner.
From him the negro formed his dialect
and, being, in turn, more conservative
than his master, has retained longer the
older forms of speech. 81 ,r.a
In the early days of the Virginia colony
the field negro worked side by side with
the bondsmen. who far outnumbered him,
and from them took many words and
phrases that have simplifled his dialect, as
IT were making IT more ineligible to the
outsider than many Of the Others
A few instances will serve to give some
idea of this conservatism:
"Obleeged" was perfectly correct fifty
years ago.
''Haunts" for ghosts, called 'harnts"
by the negro, is Shakespearean.
The double comparative and double SUI
perlative for which the negro shows such
a fondness. IS classic:
More sharper than your words.-"Henry
W" ,.l
The most unkindest cut of all.-"Julius
Caesar"
Most Boldest and most unkindest.-
Julius Caesar" sst y
Most heaviest.-"TwO Gentlemen Of
Verona" -i-sl

Recaptre of the Crater Again;
Sidelfghts On Some Famous Soldiers
BY R. Y. LEcME, -7th S. c. Evans srlsade.

Evans brigade at the time. We had a
terrible Smelling there, and were ordered
TO lay down just under the hill from where
Macbeths battery took its position. We
got the refuse OF all the shells that burst
about the battery.
General Evans had not finished his
breakfast, it seemed, when he passed
US on his big iron gray, for he was eat
ing hard tack. He rode right up where
men and horses were being killed every
moment, took his field glasses and con-
ned the enemy's position for some min
utes. Then he took another hard tack
out of his haversack and placing piece
OF paper on II wrote a word or two and
blow a little whistle. His orderly, who
was down where we were, dashed to him
as fast as horse could carry him.
Then Evans rode down quietly by US and
said. Keep cool, boys; nothing over there
but a few id old Yankee cavalry. Wen
knock h-ll out of them DIRECTLY
With this he went charging across the
plains as fast as Iron Grey could go. We
didn't know what was TO be done. me
Yankee shells were bursting over us all
the time and we had to lay there and
take them.
Where did old Shanks go? About that
time we heard a gathering of musketry
down at the railroad crossing. then a rebel
yell, then all quiet. Holcomb's legion, OF
number in Yankee prisoners. Evans saw
them with his field glass; thus his hurry
when he left US.
About D. m. we spied "shanks" with
his main orderly coming again. Old Iron
Grey looked like he meant business that
time! Close behind Evans there was a
terrible dust rising, Some of the dust
proved to be from a battery-six gun rifle
battery at that. Washington artillery
from New Orleans. Evans must have had
them hid out somewhere.
Lee, jackson and Longstreet were play
ing big cnrds at that time and Evans was
bringing up the rear.
They came up in a lope. every French
man singing his own song. They ran
up 10 where Macbeth's artillery was
and got in line. The rifle cannon
were belching destruction before you
could count six and the horses down below
us In safety.
There never has been such quick work
as that in any modern warfare. In ff-
teen minutes time we could all go up on
the hill and view Pope's army skedad-
ding. About that time we heard jack
sons guns at Massas. We called that
"Hamilton's Crossing" but the other
writer's call It Graveyard Hill"

years old in next December. He is feeble.
but his mind is as clear and bright as II
was 40 years ago, and he delights in dis
cussing the scenes and trials through
which we passed together in the great
struggle of the civil war. We delivered the
Yankee prisoners to the authorities at
Belle Isle, at Richmond. When we march

Jackson's funeral cortege going into the

KING EDWARDS HABITS.
His Daily Bill Of Fare While soIourn-
ing at Homburg.
London TIMES

London Times.
During this week King Edward has paid
several visits to the golf links and has
seemed to very much enjoy having a
game, but his majesty, though he has
improved greatly in his play since last
year, is evidently used to a much larger
links than the one at Homburg, and 1t
was some time before he could quite cal
culate his distances. The first time that
his majesty visited the links was on Sat
urday afternoon, August 81, when he had
two rounds and won by three holes up.
The golf links have become the center Of
interest since the king has played.
On Tuesday the king again spent con-
siderable time on the links and had some
very good matches. In the morning his
majesty had had an electric light bath as
we'll as the usual massage and the drink
ing Of the waters. On the conclusion Of
his game the king had tea in the golf
clubhouse with very few friends and on
his way back to Ritter's he paid visit
to Mr.. Reuben Sasson, who is I'll and who
has always been great favorite with
his majesty.
The king lives very plainly when at
Homburg and in strict accordance with
the diet prescribed him by his physician.
One of his favorite luncheon dishes is
Tannus trout, either fried. or broiled and
this dish is always seen on hts table. He
is also very fond of vegetables and has
a great penchant for chicory. His drink
is generally a light Moselle wine. The
invariable amusement of his majesty
every evening is bridge whist and 1t is a
sure road to his favor to be able to play
the game with skill
