Unreasoning Predictions.

About this time,'' the almanac
might say, "look for wild prophecies
and predictions" Soothsayers do not
receive so much credence as former
ly, yet there are always plenty to proph-
esy and plenty more to believe random
guesses about what the future holds.
For instance, says Youths Compan-
Ion, we are warned to look for
financial panic in 1907 or 1908. We
are told that panics come once in II
or15or 0years, or whatever be the mys-
tic cycle. Under careful examination
the causes of panic are found to be so
many and so variously combined that
even II one knew all the causes of for
mer panics and saw all those causes
reproduced in present events, it would
still be impossible to know when a
panic will be due. No doubt there
will be panic some day. That sup
position is almost as safe as the pre-
dIction that some day it will rain.
IL the story appears in the newspapers
that well-known fnanciers are arrang-
Ing their affairs against an imminent
financial storm, we should remember
that successful rich men keep them
selves protected against hard times
every year. Another large class of
soothsayers is busy making prophecies
about presidential candidates. Some
OF their reasoning is curiously falla-
clous. Since no man was ever elected
&c the presidency direct from the SEN
ate. it is argued that no man who
shall have seat in the senate in 1903
can succeed Mr.. Roosevelt. That is
like saying because no man has been
succeeded in the presidency by a. man
with hair the same color as his own,
therefore the next president must have
hair of different hue from Mr.. Roose-
velt's. Some reasoning from present
cause to future effect is sound-with-
out it we could not conduct our at
fairs. But we should examine eau
tiously the sort of argument from ante
cedent probability in which the ante
cedent is not surely known or is not
clearly antecedent to the conclusion.

DISTRESS after MEALS
Sure Sign That Dr.WiIIiams' Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive OrQans.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating,
shortness of breath, a feeling of utter
weakneSS-theSea are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eased organs.
The new tonic method of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs, SO that they can
do the work that nature intended.
Mrs. LO. Law, of No. 324 North street,
Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, while
we were living OH farm in this neigh
borhood, became generally debilitated
as the result of overwork. had serious
Indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered
from sense of suffocation and from OBJ
struction of the circulation, so that arti-
fetal means had to be used to restore it..
After suffering for months without find
ing any relief, tried box of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills of which had read in
a newspaper The first few boxes made
me lots better, and after using the third
box felt entirely well.
81 am now in excellent health and am
able not only to take care of my house
but also to assist my husband in a store
which he has lately taken. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills cured me and I can recon-
mend them. They are SO simple, SO
easily taken and SO prompt in their ac-
ton"
Remember Dr. Williams Pink Pills do
not act on the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. In
this way they carry health and vigor to
every organ and fiber Of the body. They
are sold by all druggists or will be SENT,
postpaid, on receipt of price, SO cents per
box; six boxes for $3.50. by the DIR. Will

Easy Escape from Fire.

To be carried to the streets on flow
cry beds OF ease from theater fire
is the happy destiny of those who use
the new Mausshardt fire escape He
proposes to remove the pit en- bloc
with the boxes attached to 1t, as well
as the partition walls, into the street
by means of rollers underneath the
floor, running over a track of rails
continued to suitable length outside
the theater, the scheme also allowing
for the simultaneous rescue of people
in the balconies above by exits through
specially constructed window-doors
opened automatically all at once, and
leading to suspended galleries which
are lowered to the street by the same
mechanism actuating the moving pit.
The theater is thus emptied from gal
lery to pit in half minute, whether
the audience numbers five or 5000.
The galleries are suspended on hinges
powerful single arm levers and turn
round pivots fixed below the first bal
cony. On being lowered all the out
ringers and the suspended galleries
move to>the side and descend to the
street. The gearing is SO arranged
that at the moment the outrigger gall
leries touch the street the whole pit has
been removed from the theater build
ing.

Gar or Tsarp

One of the subscribers to Youths
Companion asks the pertinent question
why it has adopted the spelling tsar
to designate the emperor of all the
Russias. The most natural and OBJ
vious answer is that the spelling indi-
Gates the Russian pronunciation of the
word, which car does not. The title
comes from an old Slavonic word,
which the Encyclopaedia Britannica
says is not derived from the Latin
Caesar; but other authorities say that
its ultimate derivation is from the
Roman. The origin of the common
spelling is supposed to be the writ
ings of Herberstein, about 1850. The
letter in Roman-Slavonic has the
sound of is. The letter was copied
but the sound was not. The letter z
never belonged in the word. The
spelling car is now-says Murray's
great English ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS as
old-fashioned. The accepted German
spelling is Ear, which is pronounced
tsat; the French have lately adopted
tsar as the spelling, and that form is
increasing in use in English. The
London Times. most careful author
