 A subject in which Prof. Metchnikoh takes a great interest is that of the thoughts Of old people on death. He believes that death has no terrors for those who accomplish what he consId- CTS the allotted span of life.

There were stormy scenes in the French chamber of deputies last week. One session of the chamber lasted ten hourszlong enough for angry deputies to say all manner of insulting ana de- nunciatory things about each other. But the climax was reached toward the close of the session. when . royaaist deputy rushed at Premier Combes, brandishing a huge saucepan and threatening to brain that eminent statesman. It was only a few weeks ago that MT. Syveton. a nationalist member. made a scene in the cham Der when he attacked the Minister of War, General Andre and struck him In the face with his fist. Syveton was expelled and later committed suicide although he may not have killed him- self because of his expulsion Very recently there was a general melee in the Hungarian parliament. the nery statesmen of Hungary smashing dekks and other furniture in the chamber in which they met. Perhaps this I'd ac- counted statesmanship on the other side of the Atlantic. In the practical American view, however, it Was more like temporary insanity.

 The valentine bean was his best product for a realization of profits. He sold sa3o worth of beans off one acre last year. He recommended irrigation by gravitation.

 Strawberries in Conecuh.
 B. H. von seeberg of Castieberry told of the remarkable recent advances made near Castleberry by the growers Of fruits and berries, who began not more than two years ago on an extensive scale. M
 From castleberrv alone last year eighty-two car loads were shipped. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad has sent to Conecuh County a special agent, L. H. Lister. who has done much to build up the growth of commercial strawberries.
 The Lady Thompson berry seems to be more popular than the Kiondike va riety and is more generally shipped. Insects, known for the lack of better name, as wood-Iice, are a pest raidfng the strawberry acreage of Castieherry and vicinity. The "wood-lice" have ruined over s4.o00 worth of plants on Mir. Seeberg's farms.
 MT. seeberg gave some of his meth ods of strawberry raising in Conecuh County. He was ross-questioned freely.

 The Secretary followed the line of his report to Congress but spoke par ticularIy of the need for bills author izing the condemnation of outstanding stock in the Panama Railway and to permit the Government to obtain ab- solute control
 Attention was called to the fact that the Canal Commission is now proceed ing with the work on the isthmus un- der authority given to the President to prescribe laws. but that this author ity will expire on March {. and 1t is necessary for Congress to pass the re- quired legislation before that date.

Winter Food and Living strain Diges- tive Organs-USe Mi-o-na and Be We'll

tive Organs--USe Mi-O-nR and Be
 Wen
 The hearty food and overeating, so common !n winter, strain the stomach and digestive organs so that by this time the average person Is . out of health. It may be a simple headache, possibly sleepIessness, or a general tired, weak feeling, but the chances are that the stomach is weak and cannot properly take care of the food, and as a result there is heartburn, indiges- ton. lack of energy and general fag- ged-out state.
 The stomach needs health and strength. The various aches and pains that you have are the stomach's cry for help and its warning that 1t has been overworked
 Give It strength by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal and it will soon do its work so promptly and na- turally that you will not realize you have a stomach. There will be ro acidity. no fatulency. no gripping about the heart, no unpleasant gases. no fur red tongue. no inflammation of the mu- cous membrane.
 A soc box of Mi-orna will bring buoyancy of spirit in place of lassi- tude and despondency. It will help tho overtaxed stomach to start fairly on the road to health. It will give the sleep so necessary to brain and nerve centres.
 Ask E. G. Fowler. one of the most reliable druggists in this section, to show you the strong guarantee under which he sells Mi-o-na- Use MI-o-na and you can soon eat what you want and al you want. for 1t will strengthen the weakest condition of your stomach and re-establish good digestion.

Happiness must be founded on health. Where there is i'll health there will surely be unhappiness. The happiness of many home has received its downs fall at the table, spread with rich and dainty foods. The first symptoms of disease of the stomach are ignored as being disagreeable but not dangerous. Presently dyspepsia or some other form of disease fastens on the stomach.
 At any stage Dr. Pierce's Golden Med- ical Discovery will cure diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. But the cure Is quicker if the UDiscoveTy" is used in the earlier stages of disease. If you have any symptoms of diseased stomach use "Golden Medical Discovery" and be cured.

Coal Fields of China.

 China's resources of coal and iron are among the largest and most favorably situated in the world. The extent of the great coal fields has been put at 400, 900 square miles--twice the area of France and more than seventy times in the aggregate of all the coal fields of Britain. Of the quality of the deposits much has yet to be learned, but the dis tinguished German geologist, BaroH Von Richtofen, reported many years ago that both the anthracite and the bitu- minous varieties were equal to the best produced in Europe. It is expected that very soon Chinese coal will be delivered at far eastern ports at prices with which no other coal can possibly compete. and that China, in conse- quence of this development, will become a large export of iron

POstofhce Mysteries,

The clerks in the foreign branch Of
the postotice in New York, says the
Epworth Herald, have many amusing
episodes to tell. One day a modest
young man, after inspecting the mail
slots marked "foreign," Getty" and
Domestic" approached the clerk at
the window.
where do YOU mail letters ?"he asked.
Ascertaining that the letter was for
city delivery, the clerk told the man
to drop it in the slot marked "City."
The modest man went over, read the
Inscriptions and came back to the Win
dow with the letter still in his hand.
"Well did you mail it," inquired the
clerk.
NO." replied the man. 81 don't
know what to do. You see, it's this
way: She lives in the city, but she is
a foreigner and a domestic"
On the same day a maj approached
the window and, thrusting in a money
order, asked for the cash. The clerk,
after inspecting it. handed it back, re-
marking:
I'VE don't cash these here. This Is
the foreign branch
The man leaned over and said con-
tidentially: Il know this is the foreign
branch. That's why I came here. That
order is from my father-in-law in Gin
