recent expression from J. L. McFar-

ample. He writes: Il had bronchitis
for three years and doctored all the
time without being benefited. Then
began taking DR.. Kings New Discovery

effective in curing all lung
and throat troubles, consumption,
pneumonia and grip. Guaranteed by

much thought, our decision will be
reserved until a little later in the
game.
We will say this. however:
The political future of Senator
Martin depends. in a great degree,
on whether the safe and sane"
Democracy shall poll greater
vote in the Presidential contest
than the unsafe and insane" did
with Bryan at the helm.
If the present managers and
groomerS ofthe Democratic donkey
(of which Senator Martin is one)
fail TO equal the showing of Bryan,
then their goose is cooked and
eaten.
On the other hand. ;c they ex-

racy'S doings for the next twenty

THE BIRDS SONG.
IL Is Produced by a Unique Voice
Organ In the syrinx.

IL Is Produced by UNIQUE Voice
Organ In the SyriDx.
Birds have no vocal chords in the
iarynx, but they possess a unique voice
organ in the syrinx, which is provided
with what are really vocal chords of a
very effective and complicated kind.
This syrinx lies in the lower part of
the windpipe and the upper part Of the
branching bronchi, but varies much in
Its exact position and details of struc-
ture in different birds.
Briefly il consists of varying num-
Der of muscles, as many as from five
to seven being found in the best song
STEERS, attached to folds OF membrane
and the bony half rings, which at this
part OF the throat form a sort OF en-
larged Adams apple.
Distinctness of the several muscles
and the mode OF their insertion indi-
cate a birds musical capability. The
syrinx OF the skylark and nightingale
Tor instance, is marvel of adjusted
muscle and membrane while. on the
other hand, the ostrich and some vuI-
lures have no voice organ. the pigeon
has but little to show. and the common
fowl has no muscles to modulate its
cry

THE SPBNDTHRIFT WAY.

1t Is the testimony of our doctors
that the number of break-downs
among Americans is alarmingly on
the increase. The repairing of the
stomachS and nerves of our rich
and strenuous workers has become
a large and profitable industry at
the various European springs and
we are rapidly acquiring in vari-
Gus parts of the country our own
equipment of rest and nature cures
and the altitudinous charges that
go with them. Even a railroad
system Is not complete nowadays
without medical water establish
ment along its scenic route.
When Ruskin's great brain first
gave way Sir John Simon. his
