CATARRH OF THE STOM-
ACH.
a Pleasant, simple, but safe and

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing 10 incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-

sometimes with sour or watery risings.
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs and difficult breath

ness and a general played out, languId
feeling.
There Is often a foul taste In the mouth,

stomach could be seen 1t would show \
Shiny nhamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a trea tment which
causes the food 10 be readily thoroughly
digested before 1t has time to ferment and
irrtate the delicate mucous surfaces of
the stomach. To secure n prompt and
healthy digestion Is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlansou the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastase Asep-
tic Pepsin. a little Nux. Golden Seol and
fruit acids These tablets can now be

short tour of Europe. and curing his PEREZ
CARNATIONS on the other side. called upon
his aunt, the widow of Carl Hermann,
who was the orig nal of that name, in
Vienna, Austria. From her he received
many of the wonderful tricks which gave
Carl fame ard which made the name of
Hermann renowned in the early forties.
These tricks have never before been seen
in this country and possess the double
virtue of being at once novel and mysti-
flying. Hermann tour the present sea-

Primrose & Dockstader's Minstreis need
10 be rejuvenaled. That seems to be
their chief trouble. Most of the pro-
gramme that was given at the theater last
night was pretty good-at one time-but
II is old, some of it very old.
There was the same Old first part"
with everybody in back though, which
was an innovation on the minstrelsy of
recent years. Inc singing was not up 10
the standard of the company, and the
jokes-they We're CHASTITY. Neither Prim-
rose nor Dockstader had anything new.
Everything was last seasons stuff.
The scenes, Sunny. Sunny SOUTH and
the Dancing Of George Primrose and his
midgets was really good, while the work
of Bogert and O'Brien, the eccentric mu-
steal comedians, was one of the most
laughable features of the performance
The performance closed with the act of
the Damon troupe of acrobats.
There was a good sized audience, and it
was disappointed without a doubt.

EVIL FoREToLD BY EGGS.
A Superstition Brought to Pennsyl-
vania From Germany Long Ago.
From the New York Sun,

From the New York Sun.
Reading, Pa, Feb. 20.-It is declared
that three accidents which occurred re-
Gently in the neghborhood of Moselem
in this county were foret tod by pcema-
tureiy laid eggs. The at,ment calls at
tention to a curious superstition in the
country districts of Eastern Pennslyva-
MA.
Many farmers think that whenever a
small, undeveloped egg is found in h~n
nest it means bad news and Is an ill
omen. To avoid the impending evil the
egg should be thrown over the barn.
Every .ad regards it as his duty whenever
such an egg is found to throw it over the
roof of the barn, without asking any
questions of his parents.
1t happens sometimes that such eggs
are dated with a lead pencil and laid
away by prisons VINO want 10 test the
superstition. Three such eggs were
marked and laid away as test this year,
and the statement is now made that an
evil event has happened on each of the
three farms where the eggs were not
thrown over the barn.
This superstition has prevailed in this
region for a century, and is on par with
mailing dead chicken hawks on the barn
to fir ghten off the p rates of the air in
search of poultry, or the mailing up of
old horseshoes for luck. A retired farmer
who is now 50 says:
These old customs were brought over
from Germany. If a stove don't draw.
just turn your back to it and kick back
ward, just touching the stove lightly.
Kick the devil out of it, and your stove
or the stove pipe will draw all right.
IF a horse refuses to eat, back him in
his stall and put up box temporarily.
where his tail used to be, and he'll soon
enough eat if he can stand.
ITO stop a COW from how,ing when her
calf is sold, back the calf out Of the
presence of the mother COW. The same
thing can be done when separating colt
from a mare.
ITO prevent a SOW from getting angry.
take one little pig away at time. say
one a day until all disappear, the mother
then will not mind it.
II can't expla n these and many other
superstitions. Possibly no one else can.
1 can say three words to stop hemor-
rhage, but I dare not tell them to any
man. Before l die 1 will tell the secret
