Our Work in spanish-America.

The necessity of preserving the peace
and of maintaining the rights of ma
tiOns in the Spanish-American repub-
lies has practically been forced upon
the United States by our desire to
maintain the Monroe doctrine. The
necessity of a medicine that would
absolutely cure stomach and bowel dis
orders led TO the introduction of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, over fifty
years ago. Today, it is looked upon
as the great American remedy for
dyspepsia. Indigestion, poor appetite.
sleeplessness, dizziness, heartburn
headache liver and kidney troubles or
malaria. fever and ague. and because
it has never been known to fail, doc
tors never hesitate in prescribing it
to their most delicate patients. They
also advise sickly women in need of
a tonic and regulator to use the Bit
ters. We urge all sickly men and
women to try a bottle at once.

that she was married, neither would
she admit that there had been a cere-
mOny.
Just wait a little while" she said.
Please do not press me for details
now. Well, if you insist. ask mamma.
Mrs. Sutley said there had been a
license issued to the Young folks, and

Speed of Birds

Express trains at their fastest, mo-
tor cars defying the law, cannot com.
pare, in respect of speed, with the
doings of some birds 1t is impossi-
BILE to say how fast the frigate bird
could fly II put on its mettle. It
has been timed to do 100 miles an
hour in calm air, but its velocity
seems to depend upon its own in
clination rather than on any limit to
it's powers. Among wild fowl, the
mallard covers from forty-five to fifty
miles an hour, the pintail from fifty
to sixty miles in an hour, the widgeon
from sixty-five to seventy-five miles,
the gadwall from sixty to seventy
miles, the pochard from eighty to
ninety miles, the teal from eighty to
100 miles. The common swift can
fly at the rate of ninety miles an
hour, clearly proving a good title to
its name. OF game birds, the speed
of the pheasant is thirty-eight miles
an hour, and that of the partridge
th1rty-two miles.

There are FIVE classes of torpedoes.
The earliest form was a stationary
submarine mine, usually exploded be.
meath ship by actual contact. Such
mines are still used for harbor de.
Tense, but sometimes they are fired
by mechanical means from shore at
the moment a hostile vessel is pass
ing over them. The spar torpedo.
also still used, consists of an ex-
plosive charge carried at the end of
a long spar in a boats bows. the
craft being rowed close up to the
doomed vessel and the charge explod-
ed. The towing torpedo, as it's name
implies, was towed along and ma
neuvered so as to explode underneath
an enemy's vessel. this kind being in
turn followed by the true self-propell-
ing torpedo, the whitehead, now in
general use. The last form which
need be noticed is the Brennan.
whose movements can be controlled
from the shore.

the only information which can be OBJ

question of price is only a minor con-
sideration. The designs are of orien-
tai character and of a most elaborate
description. The suite, which is In
solid silver throughout, includes bed
stead, a dressing table, dozen chairs,
three footballs and three hot water
cans. The bedstead is of the most
ornate character. Each of the four
pillars will be surmounted by grace
fully modelled female figures nearly
three feet in height. The moulding OF
the room and other decorations will
also be of sterling silver.

Malay Superstitions.

You can scarcely ever get your
money from a Malay on Friday, be-
cause they believe that if they pay
their creditors on Friday they will
be overtaken by penury. Malays
never shave or cut their nails on Sat
urday or Tuesday, because these are
unlucky days, and il they do part with
their hair or nails on these days they
believe that they will be always in
trouble or will die quickly. The Ma
lay never sleeps in the afternoon, for
such an action shortens life! When a
rat bites a Mslaxs- clothes it signi-
fies i'll luck. and usually the rat-bitten
clothes are given away to the poor.

What Might Be Done for the Uplifting
Of the World.
Give me the money" says a recent
speculative philosopher, that has
been spent in war and will purchase
every foot of land on the globe.
Will clothe every man woman and
child in an attire of which kings and
queens would be proud. | will build
school houses on every hillside and
In every valley over the whole earth;
| will build an academy in every town
and endow 1t, a college in every state
and fill 1t with able professors; | will
crown every hill with a place of wor-
ship consecrated to the PRONUNCIATION
Of peace; | will support in every pub
pit an able teacher of righteousness,
SO that on every Sabbath morning the
chime on one hill shall answer to the
chime on another around the earth's
wide circumference, and the voice of
prayer and the song of praise should
ascend like a universal holocaust to
heaven"
