giving them his opinion Of bilks. It

A Celebrated Roman Enter.

Touching the matter of eating, the
stories told by the old chroniclers and
historians of the abnormal nppetites of
certain Roman and oriental men Of
note fairly stagger belief. Gibbon tells
of Soliman, caliph in the eighth CEN
tury, who died of indigestion in his
camp near Chalcis. in Syria, just as he
was about TO lead an army of Arabs
against Constantinople. He had emp
tied two baskets of eggs and figs,
which he swallowed alternately, and
the repast was finished with marrow
and sugar. In pilgrimage to Mecca
the same caliph had eaten with impu-
nifty at a single meal 70 pomegranates,
a kid, fowls and huge quantity OF
the grapes Of 1'syef.
Such statement would defy belief
were not others Of similar character
well avouched Louis XIV could hard
ly boast of an appetite as ravenous as
Solimans but he would eat at sitting
four platefuls of different soups, n
whole pheasant, partridge, plateful
of salad, mutton hashed with garlic,
| two good sized slices of ham. dish of
pastry and finish with fruit and sweet
meats.

.yuuiter md Ten,

A very ignorant and wealthy woman
who was fond of talking about her 'art
gallery" one day met at the house of
an acquaintance a lady who had not
called on her. although they lived in
the same town.
"Come and see me, do" said Mrs. B.,
the patron of art, as the other lady was
taking her leave.
"Thank you very much," was the
noncommittal reply.
"We've got new picture too. That
ought to tempt you to come, If can't
"I should be very glad indeed to see
it."
"Such lovely picture! Sometimes II
seems to me could look at it all day

That's 1t, Mr.. Wasserman. If you
only had the asthma, you'd make a
good fiathouse janitor. Yes, they went
up. and the darky heard them coming
and was ready for them with an old
chair leg. She was splitting on her
hands for good grip when Mrs. O'Sul-
livan told her that the quarrel was all
made up and the dove of peace had
come there to hatch her brood. Shed

was rather offish. but she toed the

and such quietness fell upon the house
that began to feel lonesome. About
/ O'Clock in the afternoon the three got
dressed to go out In company. and Of
course each one put on her best duds
to make the other jealous You know

"Vhell, maybe! l llf nit my old wo-

"Of course. They praised each 9th

A PLAIN TALK TO
SENSIBLE PEOPLE

There are thousands OF people AFFLICTED
with chronic diseases who have not
known well day for years. although not
confined to their beds They are able 10
be up. but totally incapacitated for work
or pleasure.
l want TO convey a word OF hope to
such sufferers. You are not incurs Bile, but
you will never be well unless you give
your condition some serious, intelligent
thought and reahze that health is the
most valuable possession to be had, and
that the best treatment is not too good
for you.
I have been a specialist for 20 years.
which time hos been devoted exclusively
90 the treatment OF chronic diseases
have treated more cases than any other
physician and my patients reside IN every
state OF the Union.
l have treated thousands OF cases. and
cured them promptly, which had been un-
der various kinds OF treatment for years.
Every ca Sc which comes TO me I find re-
quires some special attention, which no
ready-made medicine can reach, and this
explains why q cure cannot be expected
from patent medicines. There is some
thing in medical science which can reach
your condition, and cure you but special
treatment must be prepared for your own
individual case.
My long experience and acknowledged
skill warrants me in saying that can
cure IS per cent. Of all cases undertaken
study carefully every case ana treat Il
on it's Individual merits. use no ready
made medicines. and warn you against
the folly Of experimenting with so-ealled
free" samples. many OF which are moth
ing more than poisonous and injurious
stimulants.
II you are AFFLICTED with any chronic
disease. such as Bladder and Kidney Dis
eases, Blood Poison, rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Varicocele, Structure. Lost Man
hood, etc, you owe Il TO yourself TO take
only the best treatment, which Is always
the cheapest In the end,
] can promise YOU the most expert
treatment obtainable anywhere and can
give satisfactory references both as to my
professional skill and financial standing.

SHOULD NAME THE FARMS.

Tattnall Journal: There are many pref
ty farms scattered all over Tattnall coun-
ty and there is one little thing that will
cost the owner out a trifie, that will do
much toward adding interest to the plan
tation and the neighborhood In which it
is located, and then too it will attach
your wife and children more closely to it,
and that little thing is naming your
farm. and then the owner should get let
ter paper with the name of the farm
printed on it, such as the merchants and
lawyers use, and keep this stationery at
home to do the family letter writing on
Their card should also be printed on the
envelope.
little thing like this will prove a
pleasant and possibly profitable adver-
tisement. It will give assurance that the
former whose name it carries is progress
sive up TO date and is proud of his farm
and his avocation. IT will make the de-
livery of his own mail more certain and
prompt. stranger correspondents will new
er be misled by possibly indistinct writ
ing into mistaking the name of the writ
er, in short there are many advantages
in 1t that are too self-evident for enum
