But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimf-
late it. which is the the reason so
many people remain thin and under
weight: the digestive organs do not
completely digest the flesh-forming
! beefsteak and eggs anu similar whole
some food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or
inconvenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preju-
dices aside and make regular prac-
tice of taking, after each meal. one
or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
the food would be quickly and thor
oughly digested. because these tablets
contain the natural peptones and
diastase which every weak stomach
lacks, and by supplying this want the
stomach is soon enabled to regain its
natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest ev-
cry form of flesh-forming food, meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this is
the reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate fhin, dys-
peptic men, women and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong, irritating
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful
ingredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
most successful and most w.dely
known of any remedy for stomach
troubles because it is the most rea-
,sonable and scientific of modern med
icines.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States
and Canada as well as in Great Brit
ain, at 80 cents for complete treat
ment.
Nothing further is required to cure
any stoma,- trouble or to make thin,
nervous, dyspeptic people strong,
| plump and well.

Common sense would suggest that II
one wishes to become fleshy and

food we eat and digest and that food

THE GIRLS OF LONG AGO.

Oh, the dear old-fashioned girl, that knew long
When the world, the girl and I were in our
She was dear as early snowdrops amid the spring
time snow,
She was sweet as the wild rose of summertime,
And she knew just how to make
Pound and sponge and ginger cake
She could spin and weave and knit the summer
And the butter cheese and creaml
Why, / think have dream
OF our driving home the cows through starlit
devil
Oh, these vaunted modern days nothing in them
To the husking bees and spelling schools of old
Nothing sets my heart a-dance as the music on
Merry jingiing of sleigh-bells in the cold.
Oh, those days of long ago,
When the winters frost and snow,
Held in close embrace the woodland vale and
Wrapped In robes and blankets warm
What cared we for wind and storm,
When we gathered at the weekly singing school
oh, the old-time singing school, my heart
although the faster
Beats, at the mem'ry of those days of long ago
1t keeps the very time of the dear old singing
UnconsciOusiy I'm humming some tune used
And In memory once more.
At the old red school house door
I'm waiting for .'ye maid" of olden times,
And feel her fingers small
Lightly on my coat sleeve fal, ,o,,s,
While our hearts are beating to the sleigh-Dells'
chimes
Oh, the dear old-fashioned girls have with time
grown calm and stately!
For sometimes meet them in the street or
store,
They nod their pretty heads, smiling at me most
sedately
With flash of eye, or dimple, as of yore.
And the gentle tones. the while,
Of those days we talk and smile,
When eall were happy boys and girls together !
And the happiest of our themes
Like the dearest of our dreams
Are the singing schools we went to all together !!
Oh, those days of long ago.
Oh, the boys used to know
oh, the girls who made life's sunshine bright and
fair
When we've crossed the "great divide"
Passed on the other side,
We shall meet them, know them, greet them.

THE OLD HOME.

To me the dear old home and farm
Seem dearer ev'ry day
All. dearer yet the house and barn,
The sheep-shed in the way
To waving fields of wheat and corn,
The smoke house, crouching low
Because they're old, decayed, forlorn,
Is why love them so
The dear old house is sinking low,
Around the porch decayed;
The ivy and the trumpet grow,
And in their dark. thick shade
The cricket tunes his violin.
do not see, but know
The rooms are dingy there within,
And yet love them SO!
The old woodpile behind the shed,
Pathetic in its plea,
Seems begging that the voiceless dead
Return, today, with me-
Likewise. the old mint-compassed well,
With long sweep bending low
How dear to me cannot tell,
Because love 1t so!
Seems like the barn is calling now,
With pleading voice, and begs
Me climb into the fragrant NOW,
To find the hidden eggs.
Seems like religion moves the tears
That from my eyelids fall
To see the dear old ragged gears
That hang against the wall
How many night, IN summer time.
I've slept up In that NOW,
And heard the cow-bell's soothing chime,
And felt on cheek and brow
The fragrant breeze's velvet touch,
In darkness or moonlight,
I'd like once more-I'd like so much
To sleep up there tonight!
Old home. how can I say good-by
To leave you many mile?
know my soul is in the sigh
That we must part awhile.
Beyond the corn hear the train
On which must depart,
I'll keep, till return again,
Your image in my heart.

HAPPINESS AND COOKS.

More marriages are brought about
by music and moonlight than the
world dreams of, and more marriages
are spoiled by careless cooking and
cold roast pork than by cooling af-
fections or lack of love.
Novelists write great deal about
broken hearts and blighted hopes,
and the world weeps over the pathos
and pity of the whole business. But
how many people are there in the
world with tear to shed for the ruin
ed digestion that is at the root of the
whole trouble?
A large proportion of housekeep-
ers, doubtless misled by the apparent
ly cast iron digestions of their young
er brothers, entertain the idea that all
men are endowed with the constitu-
ton of a dust destructor which can
consume tin cans, old umbrellas and
coal ashes with equal impartiality.
How many mothers, sisters and
wives there are who will retire to bed
with a clear conscience, leaving out
a supper to be consumed by their late
returning mankind, consisting of such
items as potted lobster, cold veal, cold
suet pudding, apples, cheese and cold
pancakes
Such a meal, consumed between
the hours of II P. M. and A. M, is
as surely calculated to produce death,
sooner or later, as Dict of sawdust
and tenpenny nails. Yet they won
der why Harry or Dick or Charley is
so difficult to rouse, and so cross the
following morning, not dreaming that
the unfortunate youth in question
has naturally been spending night
of terror with an imaginary stake
driven through his chest, whilst he
has been chased through streets of
houses without shops or doorways
by herds of green cows in fremen's
helmits
Is it humanity possible for him to
be kind and considerate and chatty
at the breakfast table after such a
night, when his head feels like con-
certina, weighs as heavily on his
chest as though he had swallowed it
in its native can, label and all?
History has revealed that the great
Napoleon practically missed his
chances at the battle of Leipsic
through having partaken too freely of
leg of mutton stuffed with onions.
1t was doubtless cooked badly, and
affords us a terrible example, of the
far reaching results of bad cooking. =

MODERN EGG COLLECTIONS.

The collection of eggs is fad as
ola as the hills, and is as popular to-
aay as ever. In fact, of late years
the encroachments of science upon
daily life have given new zest to the
pursuit, and raised prices according
~, says the New York Post. At one
time collection which included the
common birds of the state or divi-
sion of the country was considered of
the first rank. Today such a collec-
tlon would be laughed at as boyish
plaything. The regular collectors
desire to represent every leading
member of the bird kingdom, while
several hundred purchase the eggs
OF extinct and even prehistoric birds.
The egg of the great northern aux,
which died out more than half CEN
tury ago, is now worth anywhere
from $500 to S.. 900. The egg of
the dodo, which lived formerly in
Madagascar, is worth several hundred
dollas. That of the dinoris, giant
feathred creature of New Zealand, is
wortheven more.
From these large figures the prices
run down very rapidly. Those of
the cage family are as a class the
most vauable. The golden eagles
egg brings ten dollars, the bald eagles
four dolhrs, the great Swiss eagle
eight dollars, the snow eagle eight
dollars, the Greenland falcon FIVE dol
lars, the Louisiana kite ten dollars,
and the fish hawk one dollar. In
fact, it may be said that eagles eggs
average seven dollars, falcons eggs
four dollars, hawks eggs two dollars,
owls eggs ixdo1lars, and kites eggs
three dollars. The eggs of the grouse
and partridge family are very pretty
in their markings and command good
terms. They range all the way from
six cents for the egg of a common
ruff1ed grouse up to that of the Cana
dian grouse at IS cents. There are
100 humming birds whose eggs are
in the market, and although the lat
ter are scarcely larger than beans,
they bring exceedingly good prices,
varying from rs cents up to ten dol
lars. The eggs of the duck and goose
family are not very high priced. The
cheapest is worth single cent, while
one species of the wild duck costs
five dollars. There are said to be
10000 collectors in the United
States, and the collections run from
1000 to $4,000 eggs. If collection
has less than a thousand eggs it is
hardly worthy of the name. The
smallest egg is that of the Central
American humming bird, the size of
a pea, and the largest is that of an
ostrich. The center of the trade was
formerly in New York, but it is SO
no longer. The merchants say that
the business has been broken up
among fifty cities.

I'm bein' sucked down to my death. "
"But it's just the time, deacon.

Are you asking for my heart and

"N-no, I'm askin' for your hired

feel that no other woman in the world
can make you happy. Under the
circumstances, deacon, and knowing
that you are noble, tender hearted,
considerate and generous, I feel that
1 must say Yes, though I didn't in
tend to marry again. Take me, dea-
con, and try to overlook my many
faults.'
"And we are goin' to git married p

arms abroad to keep from sinking

"Of course. I believe you are not
in favor of long engagements neither
am I. Shall we say two weeks from

neighbors, this turn about of yours,

You'll excuse me, dear Josiah, but

if the bread in the oven is all right. u

THE UP-ro-DATE farmer can esti-
mate quite closely what amount of
work his men do in a day, and the
way in which he does it is very in
genious. Assuming that good plow-
man will walk about eighteen miles
day, he proceeds to determine how
much land will be gone over in that
walk. The factor in the case is the
width of the plow. Cutting 7-inch
forrow, full days work will mean
the blowing of an acre and quarter /;
an 8-inch furrow will mean an acre
and half; an 1I-inch furrow, two
acres, and a 15-inch furrow, two and
three quarter acres. Thus the farm
er knows how many men he needs
before beginning the work, and also
what each man should accomplish
each day.
