Getting Married.

1 don't know myself what getting
married feels like, but it cannot be
much more exciting than watching
other people getting married. Indeed,
always get something like palpita-
tion of the heart just before the priest
utters the final fateful words, Il de-
clare you man and WIFE" Half Sec
ond before you were still free Half a
second after you We're bound for the
term Of your natural life. Half a Sec
ond before you had only to dash the
book from the priests hands and put
your hands over his mouth, and, though
thus giddily swinging on to the brink
of the precipice, you are saved. Half
a second after
All the kings horses and all the kings
men
Cannot make you bachelor again.

time and eternity-From LIE Gallienne's

READ AND YOU WILL LEARN

That the leading medical writers and
teachers Of all the several schools of
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. 1t is
also specific remedy for all such chronic
or long standing cases of catarrhal affec-
tions and their reSultantS, as bronchial,
throat and lung diseases Except consump-
tion) accompanied with severe coughs. 1t
Is not so good for acute colds and coughs,
but for lingering, or chronic cases it is
especially etficacious in producing per-
feet cures. 1tcontains Black Cherry bark,
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
lege; Prof. Hare, of the Univ. of Pa,
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., of Ben
nett Med. College, Chicago; Prof John
John NJ. Scudder, NJ. D.. late of Cincin-
natl Prof. Edwin NJ. Hale. NJ. D., of
Hahnemann Med. College, Chicago, and
scores of others equally eminent in their
several schools of practice.
The UGolden Medical Discovery" is the
only medicine put up for sale through
druggists for like purposes, that has any
such professional endorsement-wo worth
more than any number of ordinary teSti-
mOnials. Open publicity of its formula
on the bottle wrapper is the best possible
guaranty of its merits. A glance at this
published formula will show that "Golden
Medical Discovery" contains no poison
GUS or harmful agents and no alcohol
chemically pure, triple-refned glycerine
being used instead. Glycerine is entirely
unob1ectionable 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 concentrated glyc-

GOLD. AND THE SEA.
Why the Metal Is Shipped In Bar
Rather Than In Coin.

Rather Than In Coin.
when the banks ship gold across
the Atlantic" said banker, they pre-
fer to ship it in bars rather than in
coin. 1t loses less that way"
1T loses leSS?'
''Yes, sir. If $1,0O0,0O0 in gold coins
is shipped across the sea it is only
$999,S00 on its arrival 1t loses from
twelve to fifteen ounces, about 5000,
through abrasion, through knocking
about with the motion of the waves.
The sea makes gold lose weight you
see, the same as it does human beings
Gold bars lose less. In fine weather
they will only lose about 500 to each
million. In the ugliest weather they
don't lose over $3.50, whereas in like
conditions gold coins have been known
TO lose $500. AS gold shipments of $10,-
100000 often occur, to make these ship
ments in gold bars instead of gold coin
is saving of 81 900 or more 1t is odd
to think when you cross in one of those
gold laden ships that every wave that
hits the boat clips off 10 to Is cents
from its golden o."-Philadelphia

FISHERM EN-,
There Are Two Glasses, the Genuine
and the Pretenders.

There Are Two Classes, the Genuine
and the Pretenders.
1t has sometimes been said that fish
ermen cannot be manufactured. This
Is true to the extent that nothing can
supply the lack of certain inherent,
constitutional and Unborn qualities or
traits which are absolutely necessary
to a fiSherman's makeup. OF course
there are many who call themselves
fishermen and who insist upon their
membership in the fraternity who have
not in their veins a drop of legitimate
relationship is nevertheless sometimes
seized upon by malicious or ignorant
critics as permitting the assumption
that the weaknesses and sins of these
pretenders are the weaknesses and
sins Of genuine fishermen. But in
truth these pretenders are only inter-
lopers who have learned little fish
language, who love to fish only when
they bite" who whine at bad luck,
who betray incredulity when they hear
a rousing fish story and who do or
leave undone many other things fatal
to good and regular standing. They
are like certain whites called squaw
men who hang about Indian reserva-
tions and gain certain advantages in
the tribes by marrying full blooded In
dian women. Surely no Just person
would for moment suppose that gen.
uine Indians could be treated fairly by
measuring them according to squaw
man standard. Neither can genuine
fishermen be fairly treated by judg-
ing them according to the standards
presented by squaw fishermen.-From

The Largest Pine.

What is described as the largest pipe
in the world is valued at $4,000 and is
counted as one of the most remarkable
pieces of carving in existence. The
pipe is made of one solid piece of
meerschaum and represents the land
ing Of Columbus. There are twenty
four figures in the scene, each one four
inches high. The carver who executed
this masterpiece is dead, and, as the
demand for this sort Of work has near
ly died out, it is practically impossible
to find a man to duplicate it.-London

tivated to he Milked.
Does any one know that cuttlefish
are cultivated on farms to be milkedf 2
These cuitlef1sh farms are located on
the coasts of Great Britain, and the
cuttlefsh are kept in tanks or ponds
to be MIXED of their ink. The pond or
tank is connected with the sea by a
pipe, and a thousand or more cuttles
are kept in a single one.
They form a most curious sight as
they move about, trailing their long
arms and staring out of their bulging
eyes. They are guarded by screens
which prevent them from being scared,
for If they are suddenly frightened
they will squirt their milk into the
water, and it would therefore be lost.
This fluid or milk is very valuable,
and cutie will yield about So worth

can be opened and closed at will, the
cutie ejecting the fluid to darken the
water so that it may escape unseen
when attacked.

China. where for some reason or other
they produce the best quality Of milk.
When the farmer considers it oppor-
tune to milk the cuttles he proceeds by
opening the sluices of the pond and
gently agitating the water. The cut
ties then swim around the pond, and
as soon as one passes through the
sluice is closed. The cutie passes
down a small channel into a basin or
metal receptacle, and as soon as 1t is
securely there the water is drained off,
1t is then frightened and at once
squirts the fluid from the bag. When
it is exhausted it is lifted out, the milk
is collected and the basin prepared for

BEATEN BY A HAIR.
HannibaI szamIln's First Try For tn,
limited StnHes- Senate.

H0nnibaI szam3ln's First Try For the
United Stases- Senate.
When Hannibal Hamlin was speaker
of the Maine house of representatives,
away back in the forties of the last
century, there was in that body a GER
tain gentleman of faultleSs attire,
pleasing manners, good address and
some reputation, but he had one foible.
His hair was very thin, and he was
highly sensitive in regard to it.
To hide his approaching badness he
had a habit of carefully stroking with
bandoline or other preparation each
particular hair in its place. One day
while in the chair as speaker Mr.. Ham,
lin, in the innocence of Il good and
joke loving nature. sent for this gen.
tleman and, looking fxedly at his
smooth and polished pate, said with q
chuckle:
BLANK, old fellow, 1 just wanted to
tell you that you've got one Of the
hairs of your head crossed over the
other"
you insult me, sir! You insult mel"
replied the member, with unexpected
and altogether unnecessary indigna-
ton, and then, refusing to listen either
to reason or explanation, he left the
speakers desk and returned to his seat.
When Mr.. Hamlin became a candi-
date for the United States senate this
gentleman was a member of the upper
house of the Maine legislature. AL
though a member of the same party
and only one more vote was needed to
secure Mr.. Hamlin's election, he posi-
lively refused to vote for the man by
whom he believed he had been insulted.
He was defeated for a seat in the
senate-by hair, but when the next
vacancy occurred he was elected
