THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Form as Any Other.

We do not delibera tely form our pet
habits but they are unconsciously ac-
quired, ana grow as we grow, and by
the time we learn they are hurting us,
we find them too sti ong to be easily
broken.
Then why not form a good habit, a
habit which will conteract the many
bad ones, in other words contract the
questionable habit of being always
well.
The best health haEit to get into is
to have and keep vigorous stomach;
if you have healthy digestion you can
drink your beloved coffee, smoke your
favorite brand of tobacco, with little or
no harm; the mischief begins when
these things are forced upon the faith
full stomach, without any, ass stance.
Form the habit OF taking after heals
some harmless but efficient digestive
much extra work.
Nature furnishes us with such digest
ives and when they are combined in
such a pleasant prepay alton as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, they give the over
worked stomach just the neces sary as
sstance to secure perfect digestion

cathartics and similar drugs.
The habit of taking Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets after meals is as necessary
to the weak stomach as food itself, and
indeed to get the benefit from food
eaten, nothing better and certainly
nothing safer can be used.
Many families consrier Stuarts Tab
let's as essential iii tn. house as knives
and forks.
They consist entirely of natural d.
gestive principles without the effect
or characteristics of drugs: they have
no cathartic action, but simply go to
work on the food eaton and digest it.
Take into account had habits and the
expense they entail end then invest
fifty cents in a box Of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets and see &c your digestion for
the next month is not vastly improved.

lar stomach remedy and he will say

~NANtNNA
Berlin, March 2O.--The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Tageblatt says he
has learned of two separate conspiracies
to assassinates the Car. The first attempt
was planned to be made on the occa-
sion of the jubilee ball of the naval cadet
corps which the Gear had promised to at
tend. His Majesty was ready to start
and was awaiting his carriage, when Gov
ornor General Kl1igel arrived at the pail
ace and informed him that he must not
go, several suspicious persons belonging
t othe revolutionary party having been
arrested at the Nicolai Bridge with arms
and forged passports. He informed His
Majesty that the prisoners were probably
emissaries of the Central Nihilist Com
mittee at Zurich. The visit was accord
ingly abandoned.
The second affair occurred in
the middle of January, when the
Gar accompanied by his mother Wis
tied the Ceramic Exhibition. When en-
terirg enc of the rooms the members of
the committee, who were escorting the
inpe rial party, suddenly noticed an un-
known man hurriedly approaching the
Gear. AS the public had been excluded
end those authorized to attend had been
carefully selected, the presence OF the
stranger excited suspicion.
Several Of the Cars party fastened
to meet him to lead him away. There
upon the man suspiciously thrust his hand
in a pocket. He was instantly seized.
When he was searched bomb was found
in his pocket.
