When things are ''the best" they
become "the best selling" Abraham
Hare, a leading druggist, of Belle
Vile, o., writes: Electric Bitters
are the best selling bitters 1 have
handled in 20 years" You know
why? Most diseases, begin in disor-
ders of stomach. liver, kidneys, bow
els, blood and nerves. Electric Bit
ters tones up the stomach, regulates
liver, kidneys and bowels, Purifies the
blood, strengthens the nerves, hence
cures multitudes of maladies. 1t

HOW THEY DINED.
Tho Methods of the English at Table In
the Seventeenth Century.

Tho Methods of the English at Table In
the Seventeenth Century.
The old English had three meals a
day, of which the chief meal was taken
when the work of the day was finished.
The first meal was at 8, dinner was
about o'clock, and supper was taken
just before bedtime. The Normans dined
at the old English breakfast time or a
little later and supped at p. m. In
Tudor times the higher classes dined at
IL and supped at 8, but the merchants
seldom took their meals before ~ and 6
O'Clock.
The chief meals, dinner and supper,
were taken in the hall both by the old
English and the Normans, for the parlor
did not come into use until the reign of
Elizabeth. Breakfast did not become a
regular meal until quite lately, and DR..
Murray, in the Oxford Dictionary. gave
1863 as the date of the earliest quota
tion in which the word occurred. The
meal did not become recognized until
late in the seventeenth century, for
Pepys habitually took his draft of
half pint of Rhenish wine or a dram
of strong waters in place of a morning
meal. Dinner was always the great
meal of the day, and from the accession
of Henry " TO the death of Queen Eliza
beth the dinners were as sumptuous and
extravagant as any of those now served.
Carving was then a fine art. Each
guest brought his own knife aud spoon,
for the small fork was not introduced
into England until Thomas Coryate of
Odcombe published his "Crudities" in
1911. Pepys took his spoon and fork
with him to the lord mayors feast in
1868. The absence of forks led to much
stress being laid upon the act of wash
ing the hands both before and after
meals and to the rule that the left hand
alone should be dipped into the COM
mon dish, the right hand being occupied
with the knife.
The perfect dinner at the best time of
English cookery consisted of three
courses, each complete in itself, and ter
minated by a subtlety or device, the
whole being rounded off with ypocras,
after which the guests retired into an
other room, where pastry, sweetmeats
and fruit were served with the choicer
wines. The English were essentially
meat eaters, and it was not until the
time of the commonwealth that pud-
ding attained its extraordinary populari-
ty. Indeed, the first mention of pudding
in the menus of the "Buckfeast" at st.
Bartholomew hospital did not occur
until ITO, and in 1712 is an item of
shillings for ice.-London Times

ceeded in combining them, together
with other antiseptics into II pleas
ant, effective tablet.
Druggists sell the remedy under the
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
and it has met with remarkable sue
cess in the cure of nasal catarrh,
bronchial and throat catarrh and in
catarrh of the stomach.
Mr.. +. \. Benton, whose address is
care of Clark House, Troy, y. Y,
says: "When L run up against any
thing that is good like to tell people
of IT. 1 have been troubled with
catarrh more or less for some time.
Last winter more than ever. Tried
several so-called cures, but did not
get any benefit from them. About
six weeks ago 1 bought 5O-cent box
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and am
glad to say that they have done won
ders for me, and L do not hesitate to
let all my frienus know that Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets are the right thing"
Mr.. George u. Casanova, of Hotel
Griffon, West Ninth street, New York
City, writes: II have commenced
using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
already they have given me better
results than any caturrh cure l have
ever tried
\ leading physician of Pittsburg
advises the use of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in preference to any other
treatment for catarrh of the head,
throat or stomach.
He claims they are far superior to
inhalers, salves, lotions or powder.
and are much more convenient and
pleasant to take and are so harmless
that little children take them with
benefit as they contain no opiate,
cocaine or any poisonous drugs.
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets at so cents for full size pack
age, and they are probably the safest
and most. reliable cure for any form
of catarrh.

TROLLEY CARS IN ROME.
How They Are Equipped to Mount the
Hills of the Eternal City.


Hills of the Eternal City.
The Eternal City, Rome of Caesar,
Rome of Peter" has been invaded
road connects the main railway station
with the center of the city. 1t starts
from the Piazza San Silvestro and goes
up the Via di Capo de Case and then
through the Ludovisian quarter to the
Piazza di Termini. 1t is double track
and is nearly two miles long.
The power station is located on the
slope of the Sabine hills, and the cleo
tricity is generated from turbines placed
in the waterfalls about Is miles out of
the city. Power Is conveyed to the city
by four large cables that run into n
transformer house near the Porta Pia.
The cars, like all stock on European
trolley lines, are model vehicles. They
are flooded with light at night, and in
stead of signaling the conductor when
one wants to stop all he has to do is to
press button on the seat behind him.
Some of the hills ON the line are so
steep that special brakes are necessary.
Both hand and foot brakes are used, one
acting ON the wheels directly and the
other on the rails. In addition there is
an electric emergency brake, which will
stop the car in a few yards, even when
going quickly down hill. The principle
of it consists in short circuiting the mo-
tors, which are then driven as dynamos
by the momentum of the car, which is
thus rapidly stopped.
An American company strung the
overhead wires aud equipped the cars

His IncOme From Begging Reached 500
Day.
ST have just walked from the Riggs
House to this hotel, E" said Thomas Croft
ton of New York at the National, land
have only been approached by one
tramp-a poor, wretched, shivering
devil, whose poverty needed no argu-
ment. 1 had just finished hearty din
ner, an excellent cigar, and my humor
was good enough to make me feel for
the whole world of suffering, so stak
ed him to a bed and supper. As I M not
philanthropist, / don't care whether he
used it for the purpose of lodging and
food or bought some of the fieeting pleas
ure that few drinks of whisky brings.
Tonight you cannot pass a yard on
Broadway without being importuned by
a beggar. Do you know that the great
est professional mendicant in the metrop
oils was created through accident? He
formerly had position as bookkeeper in
some mercantile establishment, paying
$75 a month. One night he found him
self way down town, far from his home
in Harlem, without cent of car fare. In
changing his clothes he had neglected
to bring his purse along. Without any
hesitation he approached gentleman
and explained his situation. The book
keeper was entirely respectable and had
none of the earmarks of practiced
beggar, which, indeed, he was not. He
got the car fare without difficulty. That
one incident set him thinking and de-
veloped the latent streak of Incidence
he possessed. Every Sunday when he
was not engaged balancing accounts the
bookkeeper tried the scheme to test its
ability as a money maker.
1.-THE result was astonishipgly sue
cessful. Here was man, well dressed,
apparently respectable, placed in po-
sition that in many cases had been the
situation of the very men he asked for
the loan of a nickel A great majority
of them obliged him. The sequel is
short. He threw mp his position and be-
came hypocrite and fraud. He has ac-
tually gotten dimes from detectives and
policemen before they discovered his
game. A central Office man told me that
the fellow has collected some days 5000.
At any rate, he is making money enough
to build several houses and has an in
come much greater than that Of his
honest days. He has been arrested sever
al times. Upon one occasion they found
on him a great quantity of small
change and in an inside pocket great
roll of bank notes. He is one of the
characters that only large city can
make possible. "-Washington News.

TO REPAIR BRIDGES
City Has Proposition From CIeve-
land Concern on Rock
River Spans.
TWO IN VERY BAD CONDITION
A Waterman to be Employed in
Order to Prevent Possible
Accidents.

The examination of the Milan
bridges yesterday afternoon by May
or Knox and the bridge committee of
the city council in company with j.
ii. Durham, an engineer in the en-
ploy of the King Bridge company, of
Cleveland, Ohio, did not give any re-
assurance as to their condition.
The first structure beyond the toll
gate has all along been recognized
as the weakest one of the lot. al
though it has steel top and is to all
appearances perfectly sound affair.
The weakness lies in the timbers
which support the floor, which are
of wood and in n very rotten condi-
ton.
In fact it was found that in many
places the bolt heads had begun TO
pull through the wood in such a man
ner that n. sudden strain caused by
an unusually heavy load or a strong
vibration would be very apt to throw
either of the spans into the river.
The small bridge south of this one,
across the old paper mill tailrace, is
also in about the same condition,
and it is thought the best thing to do
here will be TO fill the roadway and
do away with the bridge altogether.
Temporary Guard.
At a meeting of the bridge COM
mittee with Mr.. Burnham last even
ing the latter submitted propositions
for the repairing of the weak spans
by replacing the wooden underPin-
ming with steel and the matter will
be laid before the council Monday
night. In the meantime the bridge
will be bolstered up by setting tim
bers upright from the bottom of the
river TO the middle of the spans TO
sustain portion of the strain when
heavy loads are passing, and guard
will be kept TO see that heavy loads
are not allowed to cross the bridge
at the same time.

rstso~ixe Home Merchants.

In one of our Illinois exchanges
a business house devolves half a
paper to demonstrating their abil-
ity to meet and in many instances
to do even better than the prices
quoted by the lsrge houses in the
cities who sell to. country custo-
mers by catalouge. Such a COM
parison of prices would be valu-
able ad in the Arkansas Valley.
Our merchants are most of them
large buyers. and cash buyers,
and there are rare cases indeed
where they cannot and will not
meet the prices quoted by these
catalogue houses. What is also
worth consideration is that you
can see the article and know that
il is perfect and what it is repre-.
sented to be. Another important
fact 10 that the home merchant is
in reach of his customers and will
make good any mistake, defect or
irregularity, while the city fellow
will treat you with unconcern after
