AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

It is easy to keep well if we would only
observe each day a few simple rules Of
health.
The all-tmportant thing is to keep the
! stomach right, and to do this it is not
necessary to diet, or to follow a set rule
or bill of fare, Such pampering simply
makes capricious appetite and feeling
that certain faverite articles OF food must
be avoided.
Professor Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject: he says: Il am 6s
years old. and have never had a serious
illness. and at the same time my life has
been largely an indoor one. but early
discovered that the way to keep healthy
was to keep healthy stomach, not by
eating bran crackers or dieting Of any
sort: on the contrary, ! always eat what
my appetite Graves. but daily for the pasI
eight years I have made it practice to
take one or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal and / attribute
my robust health for a manor my age to
the regular daily use of Stuart's Tablets,
MY physician first advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and we're not a secret patent
medicine. but contained only the natura,
eigestIves. peptonss and di1stase, and
after using them q few weeks I have
never ceased to THANH. him for his advice
81 honestly believe the habit OF taking
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit. because their use
brings health TO the sick and ailing and
preserves health to the well and strong .
Men and women past 80 years of age
need safe digestive after meals TO insure
a perfect digestion ard to ward Off dis
ease and the safest. best-knoWn.,; and
most widely-used is Stuart-s Dyspepsia
Tablets.

Some Remarkable Whims OF Nature
A Stone Turnip.
MONTEREY. vAs November 15.-{spe-
ciaI.)-Oa a recent visit to the home of Mr..
Benjamin Hirer. prosperous Jackson s
river farmer, your correspondent was
shown some curious and very perfect
specimens of petrifaction. One OF these
was a common round walnut. hulled ana
very natural in appearance. Another. and
the most interesting one, was a rubber
band, which had been snapped around
q stone about the size OF an ordinary
pocketbook, but without any special sym
netry At glance one would conclude
that the petrified band had been a pocket
book gum, but, under tho microscope,
threads are plainly discernable. giving rise
to the belief that it was webDing-pernaps
the garter OF some tiny little miss. who
placed it around the stone while playing
along the banks OF the river IN by-goEe
days.
A STONE TURNIP.
Another curiosity. In this line, is in the
possession Of Mr.. H. H. Terry. who lives
only short distance below Mr.. Hiner.
It is petrified turnip-or rather the shell
OF one-the top having been cut of and
the mead '.scraped" out by some toothless
aboriginal custom not uncommon now,
when "the sound Of the grinding Is low.
The cup thus formed 10 well preserved. as
is also part OF the original tap-root.
Still another specimen may be seen at
the residence OF George W. Ciure. ESQ,
IN the same valley, but on the Bath side
Of the line between the counties. This is
d section OF honey-conb. several OF the
curious little cells remaining intact and
preserved in almost avery detail.
These specimens Were accidentally found
AZ various times, by some member OF the
families mentioned. and have beer. the ad-
