The Four DIS.

Charles Sturgeon once said that there
were three great enemies to man-"dirt,
debt and the devil" He might have
added one more and included dyspepsia
The evil results of this disease could
hardly be exaggerated It's effects are
felt in mind and body, and are as far
reaching as the effects of the curse that
was laid on the Jackdaw of Rheims which
was cursed in eating and drinking and
sleeping, in standing and sitting and
lying" The good effects of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery are most
marked in aggravated and chronic cases
of dyspepsia. 1t enables the stomach
glands to secrete the necessary quantity of
digestive fluids, and this at once removes
that craving or growing sensation so COM
mon to certain forms of indigestion. 1t
tones and regulates the stomach, in
vigorates the torpid liver and gives the
blood making glands keen assimilative
power Golden Medical Discovery
cures ninety eight per cent. of those who
use it. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
superior to all other laxative medicines
when the bowles are INSTRUCTED.

Great Men who We're Little.

Canon Kingsley not long before his
death drew attention to the number of
short men who could be seen in a Lon
don crowd. He looked upon 1t as sign
Of the deterioration Of the race. But
there are those who look at it as an
indication of progress In intellectual
lines at least, for many II not most of
the great men Of history have been men
below the medium height. Canute the
Great was singularly small man. Ma
poleon was undeniably short, Nelson
had no height of which he could boast,
and the great Condo was hardly more
than five feet tall. Hildebrand-Greg-
DRY VII.-the greatest Of all the popes,
was quite a diminutive person. Mon
taigne was short; so was Pope, "a little
crooked thing that asked questions;'
SO was Dryden, and so was Scarron,
who alluded to himself as IAN abridg-
ment Of human miseries" on account Of
his short stature and i'll health.

THE JUICY GRAPE.
Its History Is Well Nigh as Old al


Its History Is Well Nigh as Old as
That of Man.
The history of the grape is almost as
old as that of man. Growing in its
highest perfection in Syria and Persia,
It's luscious fruit recommended it to the
especial care of the patriarchal tillers
Of the soil, and vineyards were exten-
sively planted long before orchards or
collections of other fruit trees were at
all common.
The grape came originally from Per
STA. From the latter country as civil
cation advanced westward this fruit
accompanied it-first to Egypt, then to
Greece, Sicily, Italy, Spain, France and
then to Great Britain, to which latter
country the Romans carried it zoe
years after Christ.
To America the seeds and plants OF
the European varieties were brought
by emigrants and colonists the first
fifty years after it's settlement.
There are a vast number of varieties
Of grapes, but there are really only
about a dozen varieties good for the
table California produces the Tokay,
Muscat, Black Prince, Malaga, etc,
while the eastern states produce such
varieties as the Concord, Catawba, Nj.
agara, Delaware, Black Hamburg and
Isabella.-New England Grocer.

THE COTTON GIN.

How ELI Whitney, Its Inventors Got
His Great Idea.
Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cot
ton gin, got the germ Of his great idea
from seeing through the interstices Of
a hut an old negro work a hand saw
among the freshly picked cotton stored
within.
The teeth of the saw tore the lint
from the seed easily and quickly, and
young Whitney Che was barely thirteen
at the time) realized at once that a
machine working number Of similar
saws simultaneously would revolution
ize the cotton growing industry.
He said nothing to anybody, but set
to work building models and expert
menting. His difficulties were enor-
nous, for he not only had to make his
own wheels, cogs, etc, but he had also
first to forge his own tools and even to
manufacture the paint wherewith tc
color his many plans and drawings.
But he succeeded in the end, and
though the outbreak of war and other
hindrances prevented the invention
from being actually placed upon the
market until many years afterward
the first complete cotton gin ever con
structed was built from those very
models and plans and with scarcely 9
single alteration.

According to a celebrated health ex-
pert, blanched almonds give the high
er nerve or brain and muscle food, and
the man who wishes to keep his brain
power up would do well to include them
IN his daily bill of fare Juicy fruits
give the same in less proportion and
are eaten by all men whose living de-
ponds on their clear headedness. APP
pies supply the brain with rest Prunes
afford proof against nervousness, but
are not muscle feeding. They should be
avoided by those who suffer from the
liver. But it has been proved that
fruits do not have the same effect upon
everybody. Some men have never been
able to eat apples without suffering the
agony of Indigestion; to others straw.
berries are like poison.

President Roosevelfs Part.

The cablegram from the em-
porer of Japan to President
Roosevelt is significant. threads:
TOXIC, Sept. 3, 905.-The
President: have received with
qualification your message of
congratulations conveyed through
our plcnipote atiaries and thank
you warmly for it. To your dis
interested and unremitting efforts
in the interests of peace and
humanity | attach the high value
which is their due and assure
you of my grateful appreciation
of the distinguished part you
have taken in the establishment
of peace based upon principles
essential TO the permanent well
fare and tranquility of the far
east. (Signed) MUrsUHITo.
The cable from the Japanese
emperor puts an enl to the rum
ors that the emporer was dis
satisfied with the terms finally
concluded by his plenipotentiaries
with those OF the emperor OF
Russia. He accords President
Roosevelt full credit for the part
he took in bringing about peace
upon principles essential to the
permanent welfare and tranquil
ity of the far east"
The concluding sentence OF
the cablegram is especially sig
nificeut. 1t evidently voices the
belief of the Japanese emperor
that the treaty will be for per-
manent peace.

him for treasurer. But when
Mr.. Mackey notified the conveu-

nomination unless they would

deeds, they refused to allow the
democrats to play in "their back

the name of w. e. Warren for
treasurer instead of MIR. Mackey.

nominated for coroner declined
the nomination and the name of
DR.. G. B. Job was substituted.
