The advantages that fall to the lot
OF a man whose surname occurs early
In an alphabetical list are well known.
As a candidate for office upon an Aus
trallan ballot, for example. a man
named Abbot has a far better chance
than the most eminent Zweigler. But
the benefit that ZONES from the pos
session Of a short name has not here
tofore been generally recognized. Not
long ago the promotion Of one Of the
auditors Of the Treasury department
at Washington created a vacancy tc
which, upon a formal recommendation
to that effect, the candidate having
the shortest name, being also a com
petent man, was appointed. His CHIEF
duty is to amx his signature to ac-
counts, and as he needs to make but
six letters in signing, he can do twice
as much In a day as a man whose
name contains twelve letters.

Some interesting and valuable addi-
lions have recently been made to the
British geological gardens. One is a
lizard possessing two tails. AS is well
known, the lizard avoids capture by
leaving It's tail IN ths hands Of its
captor, the caudal appendage ultimate
ly growing again. In this instance II
appears that the tail of the lizard be-
came damaged by some means, but
was not detached. A second extrem-
ity protruded from the wound, which
healed, so that now the lizard pos
sesses two tails. Another unique ad-
dition is the three-striped California
tree boa.

OST people think that catarrh is a
INA disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. It may be that the nose and
throat is the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but If this is so it is so only
because these parts are more exposed
to the vicissitudes of the climate than
the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and sum
mer. Catarrh causes many cases o.
chronic disease, where the victim has
not the slightest suspicion that catarrh
has anything to do with it.

ITS THE WAY YOU USE II.
It's the Method Employed Which
 Makes Success or Failure.

One man with pen, ink and paper can produce a landscape; another man with same pen and ink may not be able to write his own name legibly. It is all in knowing how.
 It is equally true in the use of medi- cines. The same remedies we have today have existed for thousands of years, but if their existence was known the knowl- edge of how to use them was lacking.
 They became valuable to the human race only when experiment and sc!ence showed the way to use them to get re- suits.
 The grip is an old disease with a new name; it is really catarrhal in character, and the usual symptoms are those of acute cataarh, but the old-ttme catarrh powders, salves and sprays do not cure 1t, neither does the application of antisep- tics through an inhaler give anything more than relief for a short time.
 The antiseptics are all right; they will kill the germs of catarrh and grip if they are applied rightly, but their local ap- plication to the nose and throat avail little because the germs are in the blood and through the whole system.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets contain many of these same antiseptics. that are used in sprays and inhalers but instead of ap- plying them to the infiamed membranes of the nose and throat, they are taken into the stomach and thus reach the blood, the real seat of the disease, and drive out the infectious germs through the natural channels of the bowels and kidneys.
 In other words, Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets reach the cause of the mischief in stead of merely local symptoms
 The remarkable success of these tablets in curing grip, catarrh and throat and lung troubles is because they drive the catarrhal poison from tine system and the nose and throat become clear of the ex- cessive secretion of mucus, which causes the hawking, splitting and gagging. be- cause the secretion Is not supplied from healthy blood.
 Two years ago Stuart's Cataarh Tab lets were unknown. but today have be- come so popular through positive merit that druggists everywhere in the United States, Canada and Great Britain now sell them.

Pike's Prosperity.

From the Troy Messenger.
 The returns of the last census have some figures that will make Pike people proud of their county. In the olden times Pike was looked upon by her black belt neighbors with a species of contempt as a region of sterile sand hills and worth- less pine woods, and 'as poor as Pike" became a saying as applicable to such sections as were supposed to fit only to hold the earth together. But these opin- ions were always unjust and were long ago discarded by people of sense and in- formation.
 The census bulletin shows that in pro portion to population Pike produces more cotton than any other county in Ala bama- In proportion 1t produces more than any county except Montgomery. In fact, only three counties = Montgomery, Dallas and Lowndes, all of which are larger and more populous than Pike have exceeded us in the quantity of cot ton produced.
 The figures for other staples are not given, but we feel confident that Pike would carry off the palm in other ways. especially in the quantity of corn and ba- con produced. The fact Is, Pike Is the star county of this commonwealth.

Southampton, March 20.-The arrival here of MT. and Mrs Andrew Carnegie, who sailed from New York on the Ameri- can liner St. Louis. March 13 Is awaited by delegations from various of eleemosy- nary institutions, who want checks. These include representatives of Wool ston, Reading and other cities, seeking libraries, and agents of various institu- tions desiring aid. Hartley College, Southampton, a technical school, has a deputation of sixty awaiting the steam CTS arrival.
 The offices of the steamship company and the American consulate were crowded this evening with people inquiring when the St. Louis was likely to arrive. She is not expected at her dock before 1 a. m. tomorrow and her passengers probably will not disembark until later that morn ing.
 The local manager of the American line who has 160 letters and telegrams from all parts of the kingdom for the philan- thropist says the envelopes indicate that they are from all sorts and conditions of people. He will try to get the Carnegie party off to London without meeting the delegations.
