The Ideal Family Laxative

is one that can be used by the entirs
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose alvau
having the same effect. otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. Thess
properties can be found in that Old
family remedy, Brandreths Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We Do
not believe there is a laxative on The
market that Is SO carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

Kingston, n. Y.-William r. Hins-
dale of Orange. n. j., who discovered
the location of the "Old Spanish Tun-
mel" in the Shawangumk mountains, Is
TO lay out a park there.
Tradition said that from the tunnel
ran a stream of living water, and Prof.
Mather, state geologist of Ohio, who
investigated, accepted the theory that
the work vas done by Spaniards who
formed a part of the Ponce de Leon
expedition. After failing to find the
Fountain of Youth in Florida and fol-
lowing their leaders dying injunction
to continue the search, they are
thought to have made the journey
northward.

OCEAN CABLE.

When it was first proposed to lay
a cable from Dover to Calais, it was
denounced as q mad freak, a gil
gantic swindle.' So little was
known about it when a fisherman
hauled up the line with his trawl,
he thought it a new species of sea-
weed. Some thought the signals
were to be given by pulling on the
wire like a door bell, so they ar
gued that the ocean bed was too
rough and uneven for that.
While some objected that it would
kill all the fishes, others believed
that the fishes would gnaw off the

thing real and true as nature knows

smooth out the wrinkles in the face
of man and woman who have spent
their lives putting the wrinkles
there by violating all the laws of

asked, imperiously.
Silently he went into another
room and returned with half-fn-
ished portrait of the splendid wonl-
an before him. 1t was surely a
masterpiece, so far as it went. The
lines of her splendid figure were
accentuated and at the same time
softened. The classic lines of the
sensuous face were all there, but
idealized and spiritualizcd. As she
gazcd upon it she saw herself a
! thousand times more beautiful than
she really was, and at the same time
endowed with that subtle beauty
which comes from within-or on
high-which no grooming and no
care and no dressmaker and no hair
dresser and no maid can approach
nor attempt to initiate. Her face
softened as she gazed upon his
ideaiization of herself.
"Why do you not finish it?' she
asked, tenderly.
q cannot, Alicia" he replied.
"My head is full of dreams Of the
country and the apple blossoms and
nature"
and a country lass" she inter-
rupted, with a glorious smile.
