.yOaeph'N Well.

At Dothan. in upper Palestine. is
pool which has refreshed the Traveller
for centuries. 1t is the well of Joseph.
Its environs form n dreary enough
prospect above it low. insignificant

miserable mud huts. and ut the base
is the sordid anachronism of a pulling
steam mill, while away from it
stretches in all directions the faint
toned. almost hueless. eXpanse of the
Syrian landscape. long reaches or
palest blue and gray and yellow. with
only an occasional blotch of brilliant
color in the foreground. Dreary and
waste and sad, indeed, is the scene to
the eyes of flesh. but to the eyes of
the spirit that squat. bald hill be-
comes veritable Mount of Visions
visions thousand times more real

Another Universal Language.

Never do six months pass by with
out some attempt being made to do
away with the disadvantages Of the
diversity of tongues. but so far success
has not attended any one of them.
Struggle as they may. the inventors
of universal languages cannot get
away from Latin. and the latest at
tempt. that by Professor Peano Of
Turin. resolves itself into Latin with
out infections. The professor pro-
poses to do away with cases. numbers.
genders and persons and also with
lenses and voices. using the ablative in
the case of substantives and the in
finitive minus re or ri for the verbs. In
fact. his system is the evolution of
the Italian tongue carried to its logical
conclusion. Nearly every one learns
Latin more or less. and II is difficult to
see why the simple Latin of the mid
die ages without any straining after
Ciceronian elegancies should not suffice
for all our international needs during
the few years which must pass before
all the world speaks English

fell to- the ground. The pain suffered
by the injured man was awful and

Stomach Paralysis
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, properly
named, is PARALYSIS of the Stomach.

When you have water-brash, feel
sick at the stomach, have gas or wind
on it, or feel as though you had ball
or heavy weight in the pit of the
stomach after eating, and the nerves
and muscles of that organ cease to
act and digest your food. that stop
page in the process of digestion, to
call it properly, is Paralysis of the
Stomach, and should be treated as
such. 1t is perfect folly to assist the
stomach with dyspepsia remedies and
stimulants to dissolve the undigested
food. You may get relief, but at the
next meal you suffer again. The
proper treatment is to build up the
worn out muscles and nerves of the
stomach so that it can do it's own
work without assistance, and not only
digest the food you eat to-day but to-
morrow and forever after; as is done.
by the use of DR.. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food and Liver Food, which
have an immediate action on the
nerves and muscles, that control d.
gestion. The price Of the Blood and
Nerve Food. so cents; the Liver Food
Is cents. Book free.

In one way this is to- be lamented. be-

have come to look upon the three
sheets as sort of curtain raiser or

advertising medium is doubtful. Here
after the newspapers will get more
and dead walls less. This also means
that we will not have TO give out any
where as many free tickets as We had
to in the past.
1.-The circuses have been guilty of
raising prices at a second performance
when they saw the people become cir
Gus hungry. We have agreed to cut
that out. The routes of the circuses
are TO be so mapped out that Barnum

while the Ringlings are travelling an,
other. There will be no more con
