Whose Say-so Is Best !?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-sO alone as to their cura-
tive value. OF course, such testimony is
not that of a disinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
motives. DR.. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say so or
praise. Their ingredients are matters of
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid
confidence. Scores of leading medical
men have written enough to FIJI volumes
in praise Of the curative value of the
several ingredients entering into these
well known medicines.
Amongst these writer's we find such ned

4 heard of d new trick in our business
the other day" said the postal clerk
a letter was returned to woman who
had mailed it with insufficient postage.

back. There is money in it,
Why in the world did you send
money in a letter with underpaid post
ageg I asked.
SO you people would be sure not to
lose It, she replied. My friend moves
frequently, and I was afraid the letter
might not reach her so I took this pre-
caution to insure the letter being taken
care Of. Nobody ever heard of the post
Office losing a letter that had not enough
postage. I used to register letters and
send them with special delivery stamps.

WEIGHING OF PLANETS.
They Are Estimated as "SIasses" by
the Astronomers.

From Current Literature
If a ham weighing thirty pounds were
taken uu TO the moon and weighed there,
the ''puu'-the attractive force of the
moon upon the ham-wOuld amount to
five pounds. There would be another
weight of the ham for the planet Mars.
and yet another on the sun. a ham
weighing thirty pounds at New York
ought to weigh some 500 pounds on the
suns surface. Hence the astronomer does
not speak Of the weight of a planet, be-
cause that would depend upon the place
where il was weighed. But he speaks Of
the mass Of the planet, which means how
much planet there is, no matter where IL
might be weighed.
At the same time we might. without any
inexactness. agree that the weight of a
heavenly body should be fixed by the
weight it would have in New York. As
we could not imagine a planet in New
York, because it may be larger than the
earth itself. what we are to imagine is
this. Suppose the planet could be divided
into a million million million equal parts
and one of these parts brought to New
York and weighed. We could easily find
its weight in pounds or tons. Then multi
ply this by a million million million, and
we shall have a weight of the planet
This would be equivalent to what astron-
omers might take as the mass of the
planet,

From the New Orleans Picayune
New Orleans has many interesting old
houses to show to visitors, and not a few
modern residences in point of construc-
ton and design that are equally unique
Among the latter Is the residence Of Capt

that should embody the best Of the river
craft ideas with the landsmans comfort
The result is "a house that in point of
comfort and GOODNESS i'm summer makes
it unnecessary for its owner to seek
cooler chimes.
The dwelling proper was designed by
Capt Doullut, VINO built it himself with
the assistance Of the crews from his vari-
GUS tug boats. 1t is anchored, the cap

dwellings, in New Orleans on "a founda-
ton of $50 tons of solid rock. The base
ment is brick. The house contains seven
or eight cOmmodious rooms. all Of which
are finished off after the interior OF a
ship. The walls are of nodded iron, paint
ed sea green. This is TO prevent damp
ness. The windows are varied by stained
glass port holes. and the stairs leading TO
the little pilot house on top are Veritable

SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOLS.
More Negroes in Attendance Than
whites I'm Palmetto State.

Prom the Columbia state
The report Of the superintendent Of edu-
cation for the scholastic year ended June
80 shows improved conditions in attend
anCe and IN enrolment over the preceding
year, but improved as they are. the pres
ent status is far from satisfactory.
The average attendance" for last year
was 1882 whites and 11449O negroes.
When it is considered that there Is q high
average attendance in the city schools,
1t must be realized that such attendance
in hundreds Of rural schools is distress
ingly small.
In the average attendance during the
year the whites show a considerable gain,
but in the enrolment 1t is evident that
negroes are taking a greater relative in
terest-at least superficially-in the pub
lie schools. The total enrolment was S1S.-
075, an increase of 15,412 over the previous
year. OF that number II, 022 were ne
groes and 147,053 whites-or nearly 24,00O

From the Kansas City star.
4 never did put much faith in the
testimony of the expert witness" said
the old lawyer. Especially I am in
clined TO suspect the value Of testimony
given by experts upon handwriting. 1t
has been my experience that many per
sons write very much alike so much that
it is often difficult to distinguish one
persons handwriting from that of an
other.
Il recall now the investigation OF the
charge of forgery against John w.
Hunter in New York some years ago.
Mr.. Hunter was employed in the sub
treasury, and Mr.. Cisco, head Of the
department, was called as an expert wit
ness upon handwriting. He swore posi-
lively that no person could initiate Mr..
Hunters writing 50 as to deceive him.
Cisco, and that he could not be imposed
upon in regard 90 writing with which ne
was familiar. When he had committed
himself beyond all reservation to this
opinion, he was presented by former
Judge Pierrepont, the counsel for Mr.
Hunter, with a slip Of paper with writing
upon it. and was asked if that was his
own handwriting He replied that IL was.
He said he recognized it perfectly. It was
his own
The counsel then informed the court
THAI the paper had been written by Mr.
Lerir a clerk OF Mr.. Low, in the presence
OF several eminent witnesses. who had at
tached their mark to It so as 10 be able
