The WEDDING
SARSAPA RILLA
and CELERY.
a NOTABLE MEDICAL
DISCOVERY.

No event in the history of medical
science is fraught with more import
ance than the discovery of the ideal
combination of sarsaparilla with celery,
fhat is, if the greatest good to the
greatest number is the standard of
comparison. There are millions of
people to-day suffering from ailments
which sarsaparilla and celery will
cure. There are thousands ofPeople
in every country who could be saved
from future sickness to-day by its
prompt use.
Ninety per cent. of the diseases
which -affict mankind come through
impure blood or disordered nerves.
For the former, sarsaparilla has been
the ideal cure for centuries. For the
latter, celery i'll its concentrated form
Is the proved corrective.
The ideal combination of both
these drugs was discovered after years
ofexperiment. twas produced under
the name of YAGER'S SARSAPA!
RILLA WITH CELERY. 1t is to-
day proving its worth by effecting
wonderful cures in the manifold dis
orders which arise from impure blood
and weak nerves. Wonderful cures
are reported in cases of rheumatism,
-scrofuia, catarrh, malaria, loss of APP
petite, biliousness, nervousness, fc-
male diseases, etc.

CELERY is sold by all druggists at

"Only twice." said well known law
yer, "have really been proud. The
first, time was years ago In court.
I'd been admitted and had had charge
OF the preparation of an important
suit. The jury brought In a verdict
for our side. and felt happy but
after I'd collected the papers and
books and was going out my chief,
who was one of the lights of the bar
in those days. put his hand on my
shoulder and said: You prepared that
case well. my boy. II it hadn't been
for you we'd have been beaten And
I knew 1t was so, for he had come back
from Washington only that morning
and had had to depend entirely on my
work. And the second time felt
proud was when my married sister
came into my library early one after
neon and said in half whisper Its
q boy.'"-ExchanEe.
Eye strain should be the first thought
suggested by any complaint of head
ache, for It is by far the most common
cause Of that symptom. The simple
existence OF headache. therefore, should
suggest eye strain. but frequently a
careful inquiry as to the manner and
time of the attack and the location OF
the severest pain will be almost conclu-
sive as to the origin of the trouble. Of
ten it comes ON whenever the eyes are
used and is absent whenever the eyes
have had proper season of rest.
Congestion, irritability or intlamma-
ton of the eyes and their appendices
should always suggest the suspicion OF
eye strain. A single. attack or manlfes-
tation of this kind has no special sig
nlticance. but repeated attacks Of in
fiammation or prolonged congestion or
irritaDillty are suggestive Of a continue
ing cause. A strange thing with refer
ence to eye strain is that 1t often exists
to an exceptional degree without show
ing any symptoms in the eye. The pa
tient will often say that the eyes. are
perfectly good and have never caused
any irritation. \.

The Longest Beard.
From the Chicago Record-Heral

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Jean Coulon needs a shave more
badly than any other living man. If
his strength lay in the length of his
hair. this Frenchman would be a very
Hercules. His beard measures 10 feet
1919 inches in length. while his mus
tach is over yard and a half long. OF
course he has taken his time to cult
vate these amazing adornments, as
you may gather from the fact that he
is Is years of age. He is very proud of
them, and this is perhaps one reason
among many why he does not permit
the vulgar to gaze on his grandeur
every day of the week. The inhabi-
tants of Montlucon, in the department
of Allier, where Coulon resides, are
very proud of him, and by way of ac-
acknowledgements of their appreciation,
the man with the unlimited beard ex-
hibits his luxurious growth to all and
sundry who care TO come and see him
any Sunday. Indeed. il may be said
that for him the Sabbath is scarcely a
day of rest, for when not on view he is
carefully dressing his amazing appen-
dase and mustache. During the week
he rolls his beard in sort of bag, so
that he may be able to go about his
occupation the more conveniently.

The Growth of Pearls.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The origin of pearls has been a sub
ject of much speculation. About $50
years ago Filippi of Turin announced
that a living organism forms the
nucleus, and in a recent investigation
Nj. Raphael Dubois. a French natur-
alist, has shown that all pearls found
in a common pearl-bearing mollusk
are cysts inclosing distomes-small
marine worms. In the month of Au
gust, when few pearls are obtained
the tiny young distomes, a fiftieth of
an inch in diameter, are to be seen in
stead as reddish-yellow points. These
become gradually coated with carbo-
nate of lime, i'm an early stage APP
pearing as black specks and later as
brilliant pearls. which remain until
the following summer. when they drop
to pieces, and the parasite resumes
activity and reproduces it's kind. But
if the parasite dies the crust continues
to grow. a large and beautiful pearl
being but the sarcophagus of long
dead worm. Just how nearly universal
this cause of the formation of pearls
may be does not appear, but expert
ments with fresh-water pearls show
an egg as nucleus.

WORK BEFORE THE HOUSE.
Plenty of Important Measures Yet to
BE Disposed of.


Washington April 2O.-The early
part of the coming week in the House
of Representatives. will be devoted to
routine business with a prospect that
some important general legislation
may be taken up during the latter
part of the week. Tomorrow will be
devoted to District of Columbia bust
ness; Tuesday to war claims and
Wednesday to the oleomargarine bill,
which was amended by the Senate.
During the remaining days of the
week 1t is practically settled that the
anti-anarchists bills of Chairman Ray
of the Judiciary Committee will be
considered. The measure is much more
stringent than the anarchist bill pass
ed by the Senate. Plans also are on
foot for considering the omnibus pub
lie building bill during the the latter
days of the week. This measure has
not yet been reported from the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds. but 1t will probably be COM
pleted early next week so that it can
be taken up later in the week. Be
yond this no exact programme has
been arranged. The appropriation
bills, the agricultural and naval bills
are about ready and may be brought
in at any time and the Military Acad-
envy bill is on the calendar.

Every student was admitted singly

Industrial Chemintrr.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Artificial altar of roses is in sight
Chemists have good hopes of making
quinine by synthesis. With morphine
lone of dozen alkaloids of opium
they are experimenting in the same
direction, and like remark applies
to atrophine. Artificial mustard oil is
preferred by physicians to the real
article on account of it's great purity.
Oil of bitter almonds is another syn
thetic achievement; it has the same
flavor as the real, though chemically
different. Citric acid, which is the sour
of the lemon, has been reproduced;
likewise Tactic acid, which is the sour
principle of sour milk. Salicylic acid,
so valuable as a preservative and as
a remedy for rheumatism, was obtain
ed formerly from the wintergreen
plant and was very costly; now it is
cheap and manufactured by the ton
from carbolic acid. In it's turn, arti-
fetal oil of wintergreen, derived from
wood alcohol and salicyclic acid. has
driven the natural product out of the
market entirely.
Synthetic rubber Is made by COM
bining with sulphur the oil expressed
from corn germs. The product has
many of the properties of caoutchouc.
and promises soon to take the place
of the real article to large extent
