THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better: it Is not ? drug at all, but simply ahsoros u gases and impurities always preset. in the stomach and intestines and ea1 ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on ions or other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and i'm. proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It abscrbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probaly the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi- ton of the general health, better com EleXion, sweeter breath and pure blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary. great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: T ads wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stcm- ach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the Hsc of them; they cost but twenty-five liver is greatly benefited by the daily cents a bcX at drug stores, and al- though in some sense a patent prepa- ration yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary -"arcnai tablets

ROGERS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
Will UnIoosen if Decision of Missouri
 Court Is Against Him.

New York, March 7.-Decision on shall be compelled to answer the ques- tions asked of him in the Missouri oil hearing. and which he las refused % answer, was postponed totly until March 26.
 Justice Gildersleeve, who n ard tie argument, directed the adjournment to await final decision from the Mis- souri courts relative to a similar case.
 During the argument for adjourn ment w. V. Rowe, counsel for MT. Rogers, said:
 "I wish to tell the supreme court, as the mouthpiece of MT. Rogers, that if the final decision of the Missouri supreme court is against Mir. Rogers, he will answer the questions as to the stock transfer without any order of the court
 Henry Wollmann, who represented the state of Missouri for Attorney Gen. eral Hadley, objected to the adjourn ment, saying that it was another ef- fort of the Standard Oil company to delay the case. eff MT. Rowe will state as matter of record for the supreme court" said MT. Wollmann, that Mir. Rogers will answer on the 23d of March, I am satisfied, but we do not want to agree to having this hearing adjourned so as to give them time to appeal to the United States supreme court"
 March g is the date set for the resumption of the Standard Oil hear ing before Commissioner Sanborn.
 MT. Rowe then repeated his pre- vious statements on MT. Rogers be- half, but Justice Gildersleeve ad- journed the hearing before him until March 26.

Queer Freak of Memory,

The French scientist Ribot in his work on Diseases of the Memory" tells of man thirty years of age of considerable learning and acquire ments who was found at the termina- tion of severe illness to have lost the recollection of everything. even the names of the most common objects. As soon as his health was restored he began to acquire knowledge like a child. After learning the names of ob- jects he was taught to read and after this began to learn Latin. He made considerable progress when one day in reading his lesson with his brother, who was his teacher, he suddenly stop. ped and put his hand to his head.
 'What is the matter? Don't you feel well:' asked his brother.
 "I feel a peculiar sensation ill my head" he replied, 'and now 1t seems to me I knew all this before.'
 Strange to say. from that time he rapidly recovered his faculties and could never understand how it had been necessary t0 teach him reading and writing whcn he was thirty years of age and proficient in both.

The Sacred and Symbolic Palm.

From the very earliest times the palm tree has been recognized as a symbol of victory. Among the Greeks and the Romans palm branches were used to decorate the buildings and streets of their cities in honor of the return of victorious army. This cus- tom appears to have been taken from the eastern nations, but from what one in particular no one now knows. At a very early age the Hebrews were ac customed to carry palm branches on all occasions of rejoicings. This GUS tom having been observed on the entry of Christ into Jerusalem, the tree has come to bear special symbolism among Christians. The primitive church used it to express the triumphs of the Christian over death through the resurrection. As early as the second century A. D. 1t became the custom to carve palm branches on the tombstones of those who had died for the faith, and about the same time all pictures of martyrs were figures holding repre- ssoeeoeoa = palm branches In tAak

And the one who looks over your shoulder into the water is the man you will marry" concluded Mrs. Pleasan- ton. "I never knew it to fail"
 John Pleasanton smiled behind his newspaper. Halloween superstitions were nonsense, but here was an oppor- tunity for advancing Jem Howell's chances. If Grace believed in such things what was easier than sending Howell to the spring to appear at the ppportune moment? And the best of the joke would be that his wife was aiding him to circumvent Harry Pow CTS, the maternal choice for son-in-law.
 But there is no well to look down" protested Grace. Our well is pump"
 "The spring will do even better" was cred.
 Go alone to the spring at midnightw she cried.
 "I'll go with you!" cried Pax, her small brother, who found some relief in Latin from his Puritan name of Peaceful Mrs. Pleasanton held up her hands in horror
 Indeed you will notH' she cried in shocked tones. That would break the spell. Grace must go alone" And she smiled to herself as she thought of her cleverness in providing Powers with an opportunity to propose under prop erly romantic conditions.
 She knew that Grace would like liar. ry were 1t not that Vance Waddell had gained her fancy. It was merely passing fancy, and with superstition to aid him Harry would have no trouble in displacing his rival. It was only her husbands stubborn insistence upon Jem Howell which had prevented her from busting Waddell before She could have dealt with single opposi- tion, but the two were against her, and she must resort to strategy.
 She did not dream that her husband had paid any attention to her talk, so she smiled placidly to herself over her sewing in the thought that on the mor row victory would perch upon her ban ners, while on the opposite side of the

table her better half chuckled at the pit she had dug for herself. Neither thought of Pax.
 Jem Howell, pacing up and down by the stream the following evening, heard footsteps and became suddenly alert. A moment and shadow crossed his face. The firm tread he heard never could be Grace approaching. He step ped back into the shadow of the big butternut tree which shaded the spring just as Harry Powers burst through a tangle of brush and approached the spring.
 The latter's quick eyes detected his rivals form, though not his identity and with a spring he was upon EiL. "I'll teach you tramps to hang around private property" he ried; then his grip upon the others coat relaxed as they came into the moonlight and he could see the face of his captive.
 What are you hanging around here forT' he demanded.
 'I was just coming over from Bas com's and thought I'd like a drink of spring water" was the easy explana- tion. It never would do to let Powers know that he expected Grace.
 "Wonder you didn't stop at the house. growled Powers. You're all ways hanging around here"
 'I was afraid I'd run into you" re- torted Jem. Somehow you always seem to be there yourself"
 ''If l am. I'm welcome" was the re- sponse. "Mrs. Pleasanton was saying the other night she never seemed to have a chance for a nice quiet chat some one else always keeps putting in."
 "You could have all the chance you want" advised Howell. If you wasn't bothering Grace aA the time. Mr. Y1sasanton was saying just the other pie6f that 0eacs ought to know all SouS 3okss oy hsart now"

that we'll deserve to be the foundation OF
State like that of Virginia.
Smith and one other are perhaps the
most noted in saving the coonists at
Jamestown. Smith was their leader, but
who saved Smith from being killed by
the Indians? Was 1t not the Little In
dian Princess, Pocahontas?" Through
story and history we have heard COM
paratively little Of this sole-saver and
preserver Of the colony against the red
men.
Does not Pocahontas deserve some COM
memoration for the Invaluable service
she rendered to our primitive settlement?
She has remained unknown, even in her
own country. Though she be but an
Indian maid. did that keep her from
doing what was great? Let us consider
the deed
The sculptor is greater than the image
he chisels. Tho architect is greater than
the building he plans; so with this deed
performed by little Indian maid. Do
we not owe her sonre token of gratitude?
Has she ever received one In her own
country? We, who call ourselves true

that is sacred. and cherish her great men

The Real Gold Standard Party.

The Washington Post. whose present
owner was warm supporter of the
Bryan ticket in 1896, pays another tribute
declaring that they were the only gold
standard party in America, and that
had they been entrusted with power we
would have had perfect and not an
incomplete gold standard"
In that compagn the regular Demo-
cratic convention declared unequivocally
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver Mt che ratio of 1e to l.
The Rephblicans declared that they
were opposed to the free coinage 'ex-
cept by international agreement with the
leading nations OF the world, WHICH
WE PLEDGE OURSELVES TO PRO
NOTE, and until such agreement can be
obtained the existing gold standard must
be preserved"
But the National Democratic party.
which. assembled in convention at In
danapolis on September Cd, said: I'VE
Insist upon the maintenance of the gold
standard and the parity Herewith OF
every dollar issued by the government,
and are firmly opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and to the
compulsory purchase of silver bullion"
The Post Is right There was only
one gold STANDARD party in 1896, The
regular Democratic party came out
bravely for the silver and gold standard
The Palmer and Buckner came out
bravely for the single gold standard The
Republican party tried to dodge between
The two. Yet that party is very bold
now TO declare that it is the only and
original gold standard party. The record
speaks for itself

The work OF the department has grown
enormously since that bill was passed In
1862, and 1t Is now part OF the public
school system. It Is doing splendid
service In educating the farmtrs directly
and In helping them to solve their prob
lens. In the prosecution OF this work.
1t might be we'll enough for the depart
ment to distribute among farmers a few
specimens OF rare seeds that cannot be
procured in this country. But TO pay
out more than 10000 n year for tho
distribution through congressman OF seeds
Which the farmer can produce on his
own premises, or purchase at the nearest
store, Is an abuse on the face OF It. On
the same principle the governmtnt could
with equal propriety give the farmers ag-
ricultnrnl implements and fertilizers.
Secretary Wilson has already declared
himself as being opposed to this prac-
tice. 1t has often been condemned in the
public print and wo hope that the re-
communication OF the Committee on Ag-
ricult,re will be adopted. It Is not the
amount involved, but the principle. All
forms OF class legislation are to be dis
couraged.
