and meats is undoubtedly the best, in
spite of the claims made by vegetarians
and food cranks generally.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
in a highly concentrated form and is d.
gested and assimilated more quickly than
vegetables or grains.
DR.. Julius Remusson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run down in
health and of low vitality should eat plen-
ty of meat. If the digestion is too feeble
at first j. may be easily strengthened by
the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's after each meal. Two of these excel
lent tablets taken after dinner will di
gest several thousand grains of meat,
eggs or other animal food in three or four
hours, while the malt diastase also con-
tanned In Stuarts Tablets cause the per-
feet digestion of starchy foods, like po-
tatoes, bread, etc. and no matter how
weak the stomach may be, no trouble will
be experienced if a regular practice is
made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's because they supply the pepsin and
diastase so necessary to perfect digestion.
and any form of indigestion and stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach will
be overcome by their daily use.
That large class Of people who come ur-
der the head OF nervous dyspeptics should
eat plenty of meat and insure its COM
a safe, harmless. digestive medicine like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. composed Of
natural digestive principles, peptones and
diastase, which actually perform the work
of digestion and give the abused stomach
a chance to rest and to furnish the body
and brain with the necessary nutriment.
Cheap cathartic medicines masquerading
under the name of dyspepsia cures are
useless fer relief or cure of indigestion.
because they have absolutely no effect
upon the actual digestion Of food.
Dyspepsia in all its forms is simply n
failure OF the stomach to digest food and
the sensible way to solve the riddle and
cure the Indigestion is to make daily use
at meal time Of safe preparation which
is Endorsed oy the medical profession and
known to contain active digestive prin-
efples, and al this can truly be said Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

States, Canada and Great Britain sell

THE cosMIc EGG.

Upon a rock vet uncreate,
Amid chaos inchoate,
An uncreated being safe;
Beneath him, rock;
Above him, cloud
And the cloud was rock,
And the rock was cloud,
The rock then growing soft and warm,
The cloud began to take a form,
A form chaotic, vast and vague,
Which issued in the cosmic egg.
Then the being uncreate
on the egg did ineubate,
And thus became the incubator;
And of the egg did ALLOCATE,
And the incubator was potentate,
But the alligator was pOtentator.

COULDN'T SEE THE JOKE.
Hotel Proprietor Dishes Up German
Carp for Trout and Fools His
BOarder.

Though he Is still boarding at his
favorite hotel, the friendly relations
between a certain well-known De.
troiter and the proprietor Of the no.
tel have become strained TO such .
point that they do not speak as they
pass by, says the Free Press. The
proprietor would like to declare an
amnesty and forget the past, but the
guest is Of an extremely sensitive ma
ture, and time alone viii heal the
wound. The much-despised German
carp was the cause Of II all. This
river scavenger, which makes It's fa-
vorite feeding ground at the mouths
of sewers and is generally regarded
as a worthless nuisance by lovers Of
FISH, became the topic OF discussion
one day. The guest said he would
have 70 be pretty hard-pressed by
hunger to be prevailed upon 20 eat
one of the species. The proprietor
was willing to wager that German
carp could be so seasoned and pre-
pared for the table that the most
fastidious epicure would pronounce II
a delectable dish. The guest said
that sort Of game couldn't tempt
his appetite, no matter in what dis
guise IL was presented.
The matter was finally sidetracked
for more entertaining subjects, and
nothing more was thought Of IL until
the other evening, when the proprie-
tor of the hotel invited a few friends,
including the man with whom he had
the argument as TO carp, 10 a little
supper. The guests were enthusias'
tic in their praises Of the spread, DO.
ing especially commendatory Of the
fish.
"By George" said the man who has
an aversion for German carp, ~ be-
lieve that was the finest trout I've
ever eaten"
Trout" laughed the hotel proprle-
tor. "Why, that wasn't trout, at
all. It was German carp, which you
claimed couldn't be fixed up so that
II could be eaten"
The victim arose from the table
with the most injured expression Of
countenance imaginable and stalked
away. He likes the hotel too well
to change boarding places, but he
makes every effort to avoid his long
time friend, the proprietor, and he
wouldn't speak to him under any cir
eumstances. Mutual friends are try
tnR to bridge the barrier.

SOME FAMOUS SIGNATURES.
odd Instances of English and
Continental UHnEes when siEH-
Ing Was Task.

For a period subscribing letter or
4 more important document was very
seremonious affair, and we nay be
sure that many lord or fair lady per-
formed the task with as much labor
and difficulty as John Ploughman does
now, says the London Standard. Even
Queen Elizabeth, who was as highly
educated, for her day, as the modern
young lady who is bracketed equal to
the senior wrangler, evidently took
her signature very seriously. 1t Is i'm
possible to look at that wonderful ef-
fort without wondering how many
minutes were required for its elabora-
tion. The modern sovereign, who is
sometimes compelled 80 sign his
august autograph hundreds Of times in
a day, would be unable to do anything
else IL he endeavored to emulate such
mathematical precision. BY Eliza
beth's time English royal signatures
had already taken their final modern
form. Our medieval kings signed en-
tirely in Latin, "Edwardus Rex" or
"Henricus Rex" but by degrees this
archaic form was dropped, the English
name was used, and REX" gave way
to its initial letter. This usage con-
tinued unchanged until, after the pass
age of the royal titles act, Queen Vic
toria adopted the form of "R, H.
Regina et Imperatrix-to the intense
disgust Of the Little Englanders Of a
/ generation ago. 1t Is notable that the
German emperor puts his imperial dig
nifty first; wilhelm, /. r." As a rule
sovereigus sign documents at the top
of the paper instead OF at the foot,
while the kings OF Spain still write
the old formula: $50 el Rey," 81 le
King" Members OF the English royal
family, even when they are peers, sign
their Christian names only, the prince
OF Wales for the time being always
adding the initial "P" for prince, al
though George ". when prince re-
gent, affixed the cipher "P. r." 10 his
name. Princess Louise, duchess OF
Argyll, sometimes 'subscribes herself
by her husbands title, like an ordinary
| peeress. The gallant and lamented
young husband OF Princess Beatrice
used the less familiar form Of "Henry
of Batten0erg." The lord protector OF
the commonwealth was, after he re
ceived that title, solver p" a sigma
ture strongly reminiscent Of the styl,
Of the prince of Wales. Unlike othei
sovereigns, the popes add their mum
ber 20 the Christian name they assum'
upon their elevation.
