But so far as the physical is concerned,
IT is within easy reach: at least, meas
urably SO. as far as cure will go. The
sum of human misery in this line Is
made up OF greater or less degrees OF
physical suffering. The minor aches

easy to reach and as easily cured.
There are non in the whole category,
which, if taken In time, cannot be cured.
They must in some form afiiict the
nerves, the bones. the muscles ana

more or less hurtful and wasteful TO the
system. ST. Jacobs Oil is made to cure
them, to search cut the hidden pain
spots. and TO cure promptly in a true
remedial and lasting way. Very, very

A Remarkable Story.

An article in La Science pour Tout,
informs us that a CHILEAN botanist has
discovered a plant that coughs when
the slightest particle of dust alights on
the surface Of one of it's leaves.
Strange as this may seem, it is not at
all, for upon sufficient provocation it
appears the leaf of this same plant
turns red and spasmodic tremors pass
over it in succession, while it gives out
a sound precisely like sneezing. The
so-called respiration of plants is well
known to botanists, but when it comes
to coughing, blushing and ~sneezing it
would seem that a special examination
should be made both of the plant and
the botanist reporting the phenomena.

A DISTINGUISHED Missionary.

Washington. Ind, Sept. 23d.-There
is at present, living at 106 East 18th
street in this city, a most remarkable
man. He is Rev. c. II. Thompson. and
he came to Washington from Little
York, Ind, a short time ago.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson spent many years
of his long and useful life as a mission
airy among the Indians OF h West.
The great exposure and the drinking of
so much bad water brought on Diabe-
ties. and at Wagner, Indian Territory,
he was struck down while preaching.
Physicians. one of them a Chicago
specialist, pronounced his case hopeless,
Dodd's Kidney Pills were recommend
ed, and as a last resort he tried them.
He was completely cured and restored
to good health. and his case and it's
cure has caused a sensation among the
physicians.

The Age to Marry.

Oliver Wendell Holmes. in the course
of a letter to a young friend who had
married, wrote f.:
II do, indeed. congratulate you on
changing your isolated condition into
the beatiic state of duality. The very
moment one feels that he is falling into
the old age of youth-which / take to
be from twenty-five to thirty, in most
caJes-he must not daily any longer;
the first era in his life is fairly closed,
and he may live half his bright days
over again If 'woman's pure kiss, sweet
and long comes only to his lips before
it is too late. If he waits until h next
epoch of life begins, there is great dan
ger that he marry his wife as a jockey
buys a horse-sensibly, shrewdly and
merely as a convenience in his domes-
tic operations.

From Standing Grain 20 Loaf

A Great Bend (Kan.) correspondent

standing wheat in the field at noon
today, harvested, threshed, ground into
-four, baked into bread in large quanti-
ties by a bakery and sold around town
for 6 o'clock supper was a record
breaker in this county this afternoon,
in uuickness of conversion of standing

TO the Moore bakery, was made into
bread, baked and offered for sale in

RECORD OF EARLY BOOKS.
First English Book Was Not Printed /,
England,

First English Book Was Not Printed In
England,
The first book printed in the Eng
fish language was not printed in Eng
land. William CaXton, the English mer-
Ger, carried on business in Bruges. In
1869, he began to translate into English
the 'Recueil des Histories de Troye,"
and to supply the great demand for
copies Of the book he set himself to
learn the art Of printing. The Re
cueil," the first printed English book,
probably appeared in 1474, and may
nave been printed either at Cologne or
in Bruges. In 1475 Caxton printed an
other work translated from the French.
It's title was The Game and the Playe
of the Cheese" This was the second
printed English book. Caxton left
Bruges in 1476 and set up his press in
Westminster, England. Such is one ac-
count but other authorities hold that
the book On chess was printed at West
minister and was the first book printed
in England. The Encyclopaedia Brit
annica says; cat what date Caxton
brought his press to England and set it
up at Westminster is quite uncertain.
1t was probably between 1471 and 1477;
1474 is the date of the Game and Playe
Of Cheese; but the tradition that this
work was printed in England may not
be correct" However that may be, it
was the second book printed in the
English language.-Montreal Herald
and Star.
