How Man and Nature Use Gases.

Man uses the same elementary gases as nature does, with others that she does not employ with the same inten- ton. Both use oxygen for sustaining combustion, but nature uses 1t system atically for construction, which man does not. Man uses hydrogen for com bustion, as nature does, but not for construction. Man takes advantage of nitrogen for concentration of energy. Nature takes the same advantage, by which nitrogen, though negative. be- comes the most important of vital structures. But she does more. She makes nitrogen constructive as well as concentrative, an art man has not attained. d.-Longman's Magazine.

Having decided to retire permanently from business ofer my Millinery Store at Stahord Hollow for sale, either as 8 whole or in part. It has been established nearly nine years, and has been good paying business from the start. Taking into consideration the low expenses it is certain that good milliner can net as much money here as at any other location in town and with the building Of the trolley road the busi- ness Will be further increased. Everything in the store must be sold at some price during the next two weeks, as 1t is my desire to close up the business by the first of July. If those hay- ing accounts at the store will kindly settle the same before the first Of the month"; 1t will facili- tate matters and also be esteemed as favor.

When Coinn Were First Made.

Certain passages in the "Iliad" of Ho- mer would lead to the inference that coins of brass were struck as early as 1184 B. c. Tradition affirms that the Chinese had bronze coins as early as 112O B. c. But Herodotus, "the father Of history" ascribes the ''inven- ton" of coins to the Lydians. about nine centuries B. O.. and there is no satisfactory evidence that coins were known prior to that date.

The trial of Jane Tappan, the nurse, who, it Is said, Is implicated in the mys- terious death by poison of at least Il, and now placed at 31 persons, according to her own confession, took place at Barn. stable, Mass, Monday. She was found not guilty by reason of insanity and was committed to the Taunton insane asylum for the rest of her life. All her victims have been her own patients and many were her most intimate friends, and there was no apparent motive for her acts, ex- cept an impulse to kill. She was an ex- pert in her knowledge of how to employ drugs and was able to escape detection for years.

BETTER THAN PILLS The question has

been asked, "In what way are Chamber lain's Stomach & Liver Tablets superior to pills ?" Our answer is: They are easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect, and more relia- ble, as they can always be depended up- on. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect, and their use is often fol- lowed by constipation.

Our New Sc Clear

To obtain the maximum quality
for the minimum price is no doubt
question: the solution Of which
interests the discriminating cigar
smoker as much as any other item
OF his expenditure. In calling
your attention to our "Cabrados"
Cigar we have endeavored to solve
this problem for you
The Cstradcs are made Of the
broken leaves Of Havana tobacco
OF the same quality as the more
perfect leaves. but which can be
bought for considerably less
money. The manufacturers are
compelled to buy these from
the Cuban planters. and cannot
use them in the manufacture
of high price cigars. Consequent
ly they utilize this material for
a ciga. which costs the smoker
) cents each. and enables him TO
obtain an enjoyable smoke. which
will at times take the place Of
an expensive cigar. For sale by
