The Poor English Language.


The poverty of the English language
Is exemplifed by circular which is
making the round Of suburb and in
viting subscriptions to a testimonial
to the station master. 1t comes from
one who styles himself "the longest
resident" the sad physical fact being
that he is probably the shortest, al
though in bulk and rotundity he makes
up for the inches he lacks in height,
Here is case in which the very clum-
siness of the Ge1N>an language would
be an inestimable help, for then this
gentleman could quite correctly de-
scribe himself ''the for-the-longest-
time herein residing" or even perhaps
the for-the-longest-tim e-herein-resid-
INCEST" individual. Those compound
adjectives Of the Teutons may be awk-
ward, but the express what the user
means, and insure accuracy.

1.-THE fact is, one finds so many hypo-
critics there" Returning the smile,
the bishop said. Don't let that keep
you away; there is always room for
one more"

Twenty years ago the English hated
everything that was American. They
now think altogether differently. The
American woman is the pattern upon
which their women are being remod-

altered the British character and tina,
of their business. British institute ms
are being reconstructed In accordance
with those Of the United States.

Couldn't Understand Himself.

Klopstock, the German poet whom
his admirers compared with Milton,
was once questioned at Gettingen as
to the exact meaning of one Of his
stanzas. He read it over once or
twice and then delivered this judy
ment: II cannot remember what
meant when l wrote it, but do re-
member that it was one of the finest
things that ever wrote, and you can
not do better than to devote your lives
to the discovery of it's meaning"

All Fish Look Alike to Them

The Chinese will eat anything that
comes out of the sea. All the fishes
are good to their taste and are caught
with great skill. Seaweeds are used
to thicken soups, gravies and buildings
and are highly priced because they
give the relishing havorof salt, which
is a luxury beyond the reach of most
Chinese peasants.

Hoboes and loafers so persistently
steal the goldfish from the White

fellows catch them in their tomato
cans and trade them off at saloons for

fashionable in Washington saloons.

 Over one-hRlf of the Presidents Of the Uniter States have had military education or experience.

The Greeks aa sniIor..

While much public interest has been shown in the recent celebrations of Roumarian Independence and the re- vfval of the Olympic games, no atten- tion seems to have been paid to a de- veiopment which, curiously enough. links the two countries. It has been left to the British vice-consul at Sulina to point out that the Creeks are the most formidable competitors of the British In the important shipping trade of the Danube.
 "The Creeks" he says, in q passage which will be interesting to all pro- Helienes. "are race Of sailors. and If one were to visit every port in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. begin ming at Gibraltar. and making tie en- tire circle back to Tangier, one would find very few places where the Greek language did not predominate at the quay-side." Last December thirty-twc modern Greek argosies sailed from the Danube as compared with forty-fivt belonging to the. United Kingdom. Ths Irony of the vice-consurs story is tc be found in the fact that may of the Greeks bought their ships by means oi profits derived as chandlers or run ners for British vessels.

READ AND YOU WILL LEARN

That the leading medical writers and teachers of all the several schools oi practice endorse and recommend, in the strongest terms possible, each and every ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel affections, and all catarrhal diseases of whatever region, name or nature. It ia also specific remedy for all such chronic or long standing cases of catarrhal afiec. tions and their resultants, as bronchial, throat andalung diseases except consump- tion) accompanied with severe coughs. It Is not so good for acute colds and coughs, but for lingering, or chronic cases it is especially efficaeious in producing per feet cures. It contains Black Cherrybarls, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root, Mandrake root and Queens root-all of which are highly praised as remedies for all the above mentioned affections by such eminent medical writers and teachers as Prof. Bartholow, of Jefferson Med. Col- leQe; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa; Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben nett Med. College, Chicago; Prof. John King, M. D.. late of Cincinnati; Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D.: late of Cinein- Hahnemann Med. College, Chicago, and scores of others equally eminent in their several schools of practice.
 The rGolden Medical Discovery" is the only medicine put up for sale through druggists for like purposes, that has any such professional endorsement - worth more than any number of ordinary testi- monials. Open publicity of it's formula on the bottle wrapper is the best possible guaranty of it's merits. A glance at this published formula will show that Golden Medical Discovery" contains no poison ous or harmful agents and no alcohol chemically pure, triplereflned glycerine being used instead. GlyceTine IS entirely unobjectionable and besides is a most useful ingredient in the cure of all stom- Ach as well as bronchial, throat and lung affections. There is the highest medical authority for its use in all such cases. The "Discovery is 8 concentrated glyc- eric extract of native, medicinal roots and is safe and reliable.
