Wanted.

We would like to ask, through the
columns of your paper, if there is any
person who has used Green's August
Flower for the cure of Indigestion,
Dyspepsia and Liver Trouble that
has not been cured-and we also
mean their results, such as sour
stomach, fermentation of food, habit
ual costiveness, nervous dyspepsia,
headaches, despondent feelings, sleep
IessnesE-in fact, any trouble con-
nected with the stomach or liver?
This medicine has been sold for many
years in all civilized countries, and
we wish to correspond with you and
send you one of our books free OF
cost. If you never tried August
Flower, try a 25 cent bottle first.
We have never known of it's fainng.
IF 30, something more serious is the
matter with you. The rs cent size
has just been introduced this year.

MUSINGS.

Wit that wounds is the cruel surgery
Of speech.
Heaven help the man whose friends
are all enemies.
If you must refuse favor, learn the
art of being polite about it.
The money that makes one mare go
often makes the other mare stop.
You have not lost your fortune as
long as you have not lost your life.
Make chums of your wife and chill
dren and know the whole charm Of
home.
There is no such thing as ease within
the belief of men and women whose
hearts are unselfish.
Men of small minds are slow to see
in any man more than they are capable
of seeing in themselves.
You can bet your boots. my boy, your
boss knows what you are about. You
don't fool him; you fool yourself.
To be important is one thing; to look
important is another thing, but to feel
important, there you have the fellow
who really enjoys his own society,"

Finnish Grammar.

Finnish grammar is of a difficulty
absolutely repulsive. None Of the 9TH
er languages Of the same group is half
so hard. Hungarian-nay even Turk
ish, despite the vexatious initial I'M
pediment Of the Arabic alphabet-is
easy in comparison. The syntax is at
once provokingly elaborate and per-
plexingly obscure. 1t possesses fifteen
distinct cases and four and twenty
differentiated infnitive forms; but, on
the other hand, there is no real dis
tinction between nouns, adjectives, adj
verbs, propositions, intinitives and par
ticiples, so that the student Elust not
be startled by finding infnitives regu-
larry declined like nouns, and nouns
taking upon them degrees Of compari'
son like adjectives.

In Marble Time.

A patch of moist and trodden ground,
A scooped out hole, a mystic ring,
A group of urchins clustered round,
A noisy sound Of Quarreling.
The click Of pretty painted spheres.
The we'll known cry of "Knuckle down.
By all these tokens it appears
It's marble tine around the town.
The long years back It carries me
TO when, a grubby little boy,
I bent badly tattered knee
And cleaned my comrades out with Joy!
And when my bulging pockets showed
Their sad misfortune and my skill,
How I with satisfaction glowed!
I wish played at marbles still!
They make a dickens of noise
With protest and triumphant whoop,
But I confess like those boys;
My heart quite warns to the whole
troop.
I say I do not like the row
They make. Id chase them off, but I'm
Unusually softened now
With memories Of marble time.

SUDDEN DEATH.
1t Is Usually the Result of Long Neg
lect to Exercise.

1t Is Usually the Result of Long Neg
lect to Exercise.
In almost every daily paper are to be
seen several announcements that some
body has died suddenly. These sudden
deaths are more liable to be men than
women. Mr.. So-and-So fell dead on the
street or in his office while writing let
tiers or preparing sermon or doing
something or other. Found D'A1 In
His Room" is becoming a very COM
mon headline. These deaths are hard
ly ever accounted for. GencSally some
thing is said about the Heart some
vague insinuation that the heart was
not acting in a proper manner-but, as
a rule, no explanation which is really
rational is furnished.
1t is we'll known fact that the heart
is muscle. If the muscles of the body
are allowed to become fabby, the heart
also becomes fabby. A flabby heart
may be trusted to pump the blood
through the system ordinarily, but
sudden fright or emergency, a sudden
expenditure Of energy, as in running
up steps or any other unusual exercise,
is liable to overpower the heart. 1t
suddenly stops, and the man falls dead.
Tobacco tends to produce a f1abby
heart; whisky tends to produce en-
largement of the heart; lazy, indolent
habits weaken the heart and thin the
yentricles. That man who lnditeS edl-
torials, dictates letters, but takes no
muscular exercise, is in danger OF fall
ing dead The life insurance man bet
ter steer clear of him. It is Of vastly
more Importance to know what his hab-
It's are with reference to physical exer-
else than to know whether his grand
mother died of heart disease or his
grandfather had rheumatism. The doc
tor might great deal better interview
his wife and discover how the man be-
haves himself than to examine the
blood for microbes or the urine for
urate crystals.
If man must be strenuous, let him
be strenuous all round. He should take
a little strenuous physical exercise ev-
cry day as we'll as strenuous mental
work. 1t is even dangerous to neglect
to take daily physical exercise. Fatty
degeneration is killing more men today
than is smallpox.-Medical Talk.

AN ANSWER TO INQUIRIES.

Numerous inquiries have recently been
received at the New York and Philadelphia
offices of the Mercantile and Financial
Times" asking for information as to the
methods and business of the Storey Cotton
Company, whose general Offices are located
in the Bourse Building, Philadelphia, as
we'll as to the desirsbility and value of an
investment made with this company. On
several occasions in the past Il ece appeared
in these columns extended and favorable
references to this company from the pen of
our Philadelphia correspondent, and We
have carefully watched the progress and
operations OF the company in order to de.
termine whether his commendation was
justified by subse quent developments
Justice to Ucrthy corporation requires
that we should extend the editorial endorse
ment OF this paper to this company at the
present time, and to say that IL has more
than fulfilled every claim originally advanc-
ed in It's behalf 1t is only simply truth and
Justice TO say that the management OF the
company is today entitled to the highest
praise and commendation for the consclen-
tious and straightforward manner IN which
they have carried ont all Of thele obllga-
tions to those who have become ldentlhed
with the enterprise as Investors, and we
are fully warranted in making the assertion
that no financial or investment Institution
in the country can show cleaner, more
satisfactory or honorable record IN Its hoer
al treatment of investors and the public at
large than the Storey Cotton Company.
We are much gratiied, OF course, that
the later development of the company's
business and it's fair and equitable methods
have justified the early predictions OF our
Philadelphia correspondent. and it Is
equally pleasure to add that the company
are today stronger and better able to carry
out their obligations than at any time IN
the past We have the utmost confidence
in the Judgment and discretion OF our
Philadelphia correspondent, who has been
the regular representative Of this psper IN
that city for more that a quarter OF CEN
tury past; and as he has been thoroughly
conversant with the busineds Of the Storey
Cotton Company from its inception, "a well
US its plans and methods, its financial Sta
bility and tho high character Of Its manage
ment, his unqualified endorsement OF the
same naturally carries great weight.
The record OF the Storey Cotton Com
pany is one that can be assailed in no par
ticular whatever; its treatment OF its clients
has always been eminently fair and just.
and it has never made promise that has
not been fulfilled to the letter. We can
only emphasize the fact that an investment
made with this company possesses every
essential element of security and remune-
ration, and we are confident that those who
make such an investments will place their
money in enterprise where every possible
safeguard is thrown around the principal
and where large earnings are assured oe-
yond any reasonable doubt.
