What is
DIR. JAMES IRON BLOOD AND
LIVER TONIC?

DR.. James Iron Blood and Liver
Tonic is a true tonic and blood food
medicine. 1t increases the appetite,
strengthens the whole system, by
causing the most important organs
OF the human body to perform their
proper functions. First, iron is a
normal constituent Of the blood; pure
blood contains iron. II you are pale,
weak and nervous, you need a tonic
which contains iron in a form that
will be absorbed by the system and
enter the blood. DR.. James Iron
Blood and Liver Tonic supplies the
proper amount. Now, the largest
most important organ of the human
body must be looked after-tEe liver.
A torpid liver means impure blood,
a bad complexion, and dull eye and
brain; so you can see the great ne-
cessity of All active, healthy liver.
The. moment your liver fails to act
every organ suffers. Your stomach
and digestive organs become affect
ed. The gates of the citadel of life
are thrown wide open, and diseases
of every description attack the body.
Dr.. James Iron Blood and Liver
Tonic contains laxative drug, which
acts on the liver, relieving bilious
ness and cures chronic constipation.
We go still further, and we find when
a person is suffering from constipa-
ton almost invariably their digestion
is poor, the food fails to nourish and
strengthen. DR.. James Iron Blood
and Liver Tonic cures Indigestion and
dyspepsia. 1t causes the food you
eat to assinlilate, and the process Of
digestion is again active. Nine-tenths
of Our people suffer from indigestion
and constipation; to these we recon-
mend the great Iron compound.

Tonic. For sale by all druggists.

What a Bullfrog Will Eat.

Forest and Stream.
Many years ago, when collecting
birds in southern New England, l
shot on the salt marshes swallow,
which fell in a shallow pool in the
marsh. My brother, who happened
to be standing near the pool, saw the
bird fall and saw a huge bullfrog
make two or three sprawling leaps
over the mud and through the water
and swallow the bird. When 1
came up the head Of the bullfrog still
remained above wafer with the wings
of the swallow sticking out of the
corners of his mouth.
Recently story was told me by a
friend who resides at Flushing, L. l.,
of certain happenings on neighbor's
place. This neighbor has some
water enclosed in which he keeps
some domesticated wild fowl, and not
long ago, the opportunity occurring to
purchase five gigantic bullfrogs, he
introduced them into the water.
This spring, as it seemed a possibil-
ity that some OF his wild duck could
breed, an effort was made to get rid
of the frogs for fear they might injure
the ducklings, and three OF them were
killed, but the other two could not be
found. Some time in May a female
pintail duck came off with 3 ducklings,
which, after two or three days, dis
appeared and were not seen again.
A day OF TWO after their disappearance
the missing bullfrogs were seen and
killed, and in their stomachs were
found the remains of the little pin
tails. I fancy that there is nothing
living that a bullfrog will not eat.

ADVENTURES OF A BANK BILL
A Thousand-Franc Note That Gave
Its Holder Trouble on Change.

Paris Daily Messenger.
4 lady passing down the Rue
Richelieu had the misfortune to lose
a pocketbook containing, among other
valuables, a one-thousand-franc note.
The pocketbook was picked up by a
chair mended named Renaud, who
lives at Montreaux, and he placed it
very carefully in his pocket and pro-
ceeded home. 1t is not often that
a chair mender has occasion to change
a note of that amount and Renaud,
recognizing the possibility of turn
ing it into gold without detection,
agreed with a friends to do business
for the consideration of 100 francs.
This friend, Lucien Mathern, also
a chair mender. was in turn filled with
appreh ension. The difficulty was
solved by the aid of a horticulturist
named Somonnet, who kindly con-
sented to buy hi,:? self horse for 800
france and return the change. Renaud
thus became richer by 600 francs. All
might then have gone we'll if. two
days later, it had been discovered that
the horse had been stolen from a
dealer atMeaux. This led to the ar
rest of the trio, and later in the day
the police put their hands on the
horse thieves.

can easily earn $3.50 a day in the cot
ton field. Some of the more expert
piekers can average from 400 to 500
pounds of cotton day and make
from s. to 81 a day. AS the picking
season lasts from eight 10 ten weeks
the industrious pickers are able to
begin the winter with comfortable
s:,n1 OF money laid tip.
Boys and girls are almost as fast
pickers as grown people. In many
cotton fields may be seen whole fam
lilies OF negroes at work. Some Of
these industrious families consist OF
husband and wife and from five to
ten children. The daily earnings
OF such families during the cotton
picking season aggregate from $40
to SIS.
The savings of these families are
often used to purchase little homes.
In most instances the negro cotton
pickers are shiftless, and when the
season in the cotton field is over they
live in idleness until their earnings
are gone.
The negro preachers find the cot
ton picking season a favorable time
for their work. In almost every
community at this time of year there
are revivals or protracted meetings in
progress. The colored people flock
to these meetings in great numbers.
1t is a contest between the frivolous,
who patronize the nightly dances, and
those who feel religious fervor.

NEARLY WEDS BRIDESMAID.
Minister Had Reached Fateful Part When Bride, Realizing Situ-
 ation, Calls a Halt.

But for sudden protest by the bride the bridegroom at wedding in St. Mary's church, New Britain, Conn.,, would have been married to the brides maid the other day. Peter Wood and Miss Rosa Strader, the principals, en- tered the church with Stephen Ferry and Miss Edwina Softleigh, the best man and bridesmaid. When the party reached the altar the bridesmaid. in- stead of retiring in favor of the bride. remained at the bridegroom's side.
 Rev. J. T. Winters began the cere- mony, but just as he had reached the fateful part Miss Strader jumped up and asked Father Winters to stop.
 An explanation followed, the young women exchanged places, and the ceremony went on. The bridesmaid had never attended wedding before.

ParaRuay Tea.

There comes from Paraguay to the Journal of Tropical Medicine news of m apparently harmless beverage which Is the sole stay and stimulant of the working classes in Paraguay and the Argentine Republic. It is often known as Paraguay tea or mate, and an at- tempt made to introduce it into this country some years ago failed because as we may guess-there were more potent competitors in the field. It is usually drunk as a hot infusion, through s metal tube, but may be taken like tea, with milk and sugar. Workmen take fl with them wherever they go and sip it occasionally. Wood cutters will work on 1t for five or six hours before break fast, and the writer declares that, taken at night, 1t makes nursing, study or what doctors call might work" real pleasure. Analysis does not explain these results, and lifelong and persistent use appears to have no evil consequences. This would be good substitute for the num- berless patent medicines which supply alcohol to women, or even, in at least one familiar case, cocaine.-London Chronicle.

STRANGE MARINE MONSTER
ous Fish Weighing 125 Pounds with Rod and Reel.

Edward Llewellyn, a cornet soloist of he Catalina Island band. is a most en- thusiastic and pic uresque angler.
 Recently he made the record Jewish catch. one weighing 425 pounds; the oth- q morning he though he would inscribe Inc tuna record also on his diadem. and taking the Catalina hiksd out after the biggest specimens of the tiger-flsh to be taken. He had uncorked but a small DOT ton of his stock of patience when his reel began to whizz.
 And then 1t whizzed. By consummate skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from getting away in the first grand rushes, and then hs began on the aggressive. For an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight lasted. It was formidable-lo looking crea- ture that was at length brought alongside the boat, and there was debate. after it was gaffed, as to whether 1t would be Q welcome addition to the crew.
 Hung up on the rack here, the creature began to excite comment. To the casual observer 1t was but moon-hsh, rather unusual catch, but occasionally caught and brought in by being entangled in tho dshermen's nets. This, however. was caught with hook and rod and reel. something unknown to fishermen hith- erto. A glance at the fish also showed radical difference between this and the sword-fsh
 It's sword is not so long as that of the genuine sword-hsh of this length; the lower jaw Is unduly elongated; 1t has on its back collapsible fin, which, when extended stands up 15 inches above the Ash, but folds down into a grove, until 1t is unnoticeable; the tail Is like the screw of a propeller, and very similar In appearance to that of the tuna.
 The fish sharps are all guessing. The Nike of this has not been seen here before, nor can any enlightenment be had from any books on the subject to be had here.
 The strange creature Is nine feet long and weighs 125 pounds The sword Is "A inches long and the tail is 39 across.

NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
Ana Entertained French Opera Sing. CTS in the Streets of New
 Orleans.

The French opera singers were specta- tors of picturesque street scene night or two ago in the vicinity of the old French opera house. says the New Or leans es-Democrat. Bourbon street was being paved with asphalt, and the work was being hastened so as to have that portion of the street near the opera house accessible for carriages by the time of the opening of the French op- era season.
 On this account an unusually large force of workmen were engaged, and in order to push the work to an early com- pletion the men worked at night. huge torches being used. In one block, be- tween St. Louis and Toulouse streets. Aore than 100 men were working.
 Every one familiar with the negro knows that, in so far as he is able, he sets his work to music. It is fact often marveled at that the negro, when he is singing or chanting in sort of rhythmic mood, works with more ardor than under different conditions. And if an extra de- mand is made on the negro workman he sings or chants the louder.
 The members of the French opera, or at least many of them, heard for the first time the real melody of the negro voice that night. It was that swishful, poetic thing caricatured in the ragtime of the stage, a certain subtle, indefinable some- thing which no composer has ever been able 10 fit to the well-measured octaves of musical arrangements. It was the yuneful, heaving call of the levee, the mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields The fiaring torch, the bustling hither and thither, the heavy fall of the implements of toil-all those things gave exquisite tone to the setting.

MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
Money from Washington to New York fin . Suit Case.

Col Edwards. chief of the division of insular affairs. recently told the story of bureau clerks remarkable trip few days ago with $3.OO0,00O of government cash. The clerk Is Marion E. Beall, whose home is in Fort Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery the officials kept the trip secret until after the clerk had delivered his precious burden in New York.
 Under the direction of the insular department the hints and the bureau of printing and engraving have been making money for use in the Philip pines. To. MT. Beall was assigned the duty of overseeing the shipment of the money to the island possessions. The bureau of printing and engraving turned out $3,O0O,0O0 in $1.O0O bills. The insular department wanted to get the money to New York. Beall went around to see the express companies about the cost of transporting tho treasure. Flight hundred dollars" said each of the companies.
 That's too much," said Col. Ed- wards when Beall reported. What's the matter with you putting the money in suit case and taking it up yourself?"
 "Why, sure. I can take it if you arc willing to trust me with it," said Beall.
 The money was put in suit case and Beall. although not even under bond, carried 1t from this city to New York. whence 1t was shipped.

GOVERNMENT BEES.
Dusy Insects Belonging to the Agrf- cultural Department Swarm
 to Market.

Doubtless the only members of the governments gigantic force of em- ployes who goto work before nine o'clock q. m. and continue toiling until sun down are the Italian bees kept by the de- partment of agriculture These. the smallest of our domestic animals, are kept by the department for experimental purposes and for stocking its various substations. says the Washington Post. Some time ago these government bees discovered that Center maket was . far better pasture than the flower beds and vegetable gardens of the depart ment, and there they resort every day. to no small discomfort and annoyance of commission dealers, hucksters, gard nsrs and restaurant proprietors, whose stock in trade the industrious little in- sects prey upon.
 In some cities the rats and mice arc troublesome, and in others crickets, grain insects, and various other bugs prey upon the perishables, but Center market is the only market in the United States where the most serious pest Is the insects which belong to the government They eat holes in the peaches, poach on the grapes, gather honey from cante- loupes, and are the first to find the soft spots in pineapples and bananas. What Is more, there are about Center market A number of open-air eating booths, tc which the bees resort in large numbers to collect honey from various sweet dishes, particularly apricot, apples. peach, prune and huckleberry pie. The funny part of 1t all is that the commis- sion dealers, fruit handlers and res- taurant keepers are afraid to offer any opposition to their intrusion for fear the plucky little insects will resent 1t.
 Hardly . week passes that some one does not get stung by the government. bees, who object to rough handling and treatment. With the juice and wax which they collect from apples, melons, peaches, oranges. ptneapples, grapes. bananas and pies in the market, they lay up their store of winter honey. The only time the restaurant keepers are able to even up with these little pests is when they have batch of hot pies or bread pudding on hand. They it hap pens occasionally that some over-hasty government bee gets his feet scorched. Tn such cases they hover about the pies until they have cooled off, now and then alighting on the crust to test the tenn perature of the tempting bait.
