COMMON SENSE

Leads most intelligent people to use only
medicines Of known composition. There
fore it Is that DR.. Pierce's medicines, the
makers of which print every Ingredient
entering into them upon the bottle wrap
pers and attest its correctness under oath,
are daily growing In favor. The COM
position of DIR. Pierce's medicines is open
to everybody, DR.. Pierce being DESTROYS
of having the search light of investiga-
ton turned fully upon his formula, being
confident that the better the composition
OF these medicines is known the more
Will their great curative merits be recog-
nized. Being wholly made Of the active
medicinal principles extracted from ma
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DIR. Pierce, and without the
use Of drop Of alcohol, triple-refned and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by
DIR. Pierce, and you will find that his

Depend upon 1t, children" said the
benignant old gentleman who was ad-
dressing the Sunday school, 1--WE were
fashioned by a wiser power than our
selves. There was no mistake made In
putting us together. If our hands were
placed where our feet are and our feet
where our hands are how could we get
along? 1t would be exceedingly awk-
ward, children, exceedingly awkward
stretch my hand out this way;
move my fingers like this. Now, what
is this an evidence Of, children?"
There was no reply, and after wait
ing a moment the speaker answered
the question himself
ut Is an evidence of design. Don't
forget that, children" he continued
impressively. 1T is an evidence Of de
sign. Suppose, for instance, my eye
instead of having lids and lashes, had
legs Suppose my eye had legs. How
could | use themf"
you could use them in running youl
eye over the congregation, couldn't
you?" replied deeply interested little

WAYS of the FIyinq Fish,

Flying fish swim in shoals varying
in number from a dozen to hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once, darting through the air in the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then descend to the water quickly,
rising again and then renewing their
flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out of the water and gaining up
on his prey, which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape.
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
In the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fins at all as wings
is not fully decided. The power of
fight is limited to the time the fms
remain moist.

ORIGIN Of the Christmas Stocking


From Italy comes the legend from
which we are supposed to get the time
honored custom of hanging up the
Christmas stocking. Good old ST. Mich
olas of Padua used TO throw long knit
ted purses tied at both ends into the
open windows of the very poor people,
and these purses were of yarn and not
unlike footless stocking. Finally 1t
became the custom of the people to
hang these empty receptacles out Of
their windows on the night before
Christmas SO that ST. Nicholas would
put gift into them as he passed by.
BY and by, when the coin of the realm
became scarce, toys were put in for the
children and useful presents for grown
people In the north country, where 1t
was rather chilly at Christmas time,
the purses were hung on the mantel-
piece, and it was believed that the
good old saint would come down the
chimney and fill them When these
purses went out of fashion, stockings
were substituted and have been used
ever since.

LAsI USE oE ARMoR.
II Was In 1899 and Was Picturesque
and DiaboIieal Scene.


In January, 1890, at the town of
Aquilla, in the Abruzzo, then held by a
garrison of 400 French troops, the
peasants broke into the town, and,
though they were driven out by the
French, they continued to give serious
trouble. They even drove the French
into the fort and made ready to bonn
bard them with heavy guns. The
French were In an awkward position.
Boulert, the officer of artillery, ran
sacking his brains for the means Of
sending out men to spike the guns on
the glacis under the fire of the insur-
gents from the neighboring houses,
suddenly remembered that he had seen
In his magazine some suits of plate
armor, and he proposed to try whether,
protected by them, men could not sally
out and work In security under the
musketry fire. He got together twelve
complete suits and dressed out twelve
gunners and grenadiers thus, selecting
big men, be it remarked At a certain
hour the garrison lined the covered
way, and from thence and from the
fort opened a steady fire Of musketry
and Of artillery on the lines Of the in
surgents.
Then out marched the twelve knights
of the eighteenth century, much in Da-
vid's state of mind when he complain
ed he had not proved his armor. The
men carried handspikes, hammers and
| spikes. Moving naturally slowly and
awkwardly in their heavy steel mail,
still they succeeded in completing their
work under a hail Of bullets from the
| insurgents. The scene Is described, as
we can well believe, to have been most
remarkable and to have had something
picturesque and also diabolical about It,
| AS the mailed figures moved in ST.
lence among the guns, their handspikes
looking like maces, their silence and
the slowness of their actions seemed
unnatural under the steady hail of bull
let's. The insurgents were believed to
have thought hell itself had sent forth
these extraordinary antagonists, ghosts
of past age, while the French on the
ramparts, true to their nature, the first
moment of anxiety over, burst into
roars of aughter.-Phipp's "Marshals
Of Napoleon"

Tim Hurst's Baseball Troubles.


At the close of that memorable sea
hon when Tim Hurst managed the
Browns for Won der Abe he laid over in
Philadelphia on his way to his home
up the state, and while in the Quaker
City he told his daily experiences
while running the Mound City club.

Take care Of the stomach and the health

Take care of the stomach and the health
will take care of itself. If people onlv
realized the soundness of that statement
the majority might live to a good old
age like Moses, "the eye undimmed, the
natural force undated" 1t is in the
stomach that the blood is made. It is
from the stomach that nourishment is
dispensed TO nerve and muscle. If the
stomach is weak it can't do its whole work
for each part of the body. If it is dis
eased the disease will faint the nourish.
ment which is distributed, and so spread
disease throughout the body. 1t was the
realization of the Importance of the
stomach as the very centre of health and
the common source of disease, which led
DR.. Pierce to prepare his Golden Medical
Discovery" Diseases which originate in
the stomach must be cured through the
stomach. The soundness of this theory is
proved every day by cures of diseased
organs, heart, liver. lungs, blood-by the
use of the Discovery" which is solely
and singly medicine for the blood and

Freeman, the historian, it was said,
was apt to grow irritable over matters
of intellectual difference. One day he
was at the Macmillans' when the con-
versation turned upon the subject of
Ireland. Mr.. Macmillan said that, for
his part, he was in favor Of granting
autonomy.
Whereupon Freeman began to growl
at the use of Greek word
why can't you speak English" de-
manded he, land say home rule in
stead of speaking Greek, which you
don't known
One of the guests flushed with anger
and ventured to reprove Freeman, call
ing his attention to the respect due
their host and at the same time paying
tribute to Mr. Macmillan's remarkable
abilities. But. although Freeman did
not apologize in so many words, he
smoothed the matter over by humor-
GUS repetition of his criticism Later
some one mentioned govt There you
go again. exclaimed Freeman. why
can't we call it toe woe?"

form an orchard of more than 300

this elongated orchard.
The province maintains nursery of
403 acres to supply young trees for
roadside use and for promoting the in

a tree is very small, but the Hanover
people do not worry about that. Shade
is afforded in summer, the roadbed is
free from dust, the presence of trees
retards the washing out of the soil
from the banks into the roadside

of the roadside stimulates an interest

NEW WAY TO IDENTIFY
Austrian Surgeon Recommends Study
of Palate Markings.

VIENNA, April 2S.-Dr Paul Prayer. an
army surgeon who has made a special
study of methods of identification, recon-
mends that prisoners should be Identified
by the shape of their palates. He thinks
the system far more eftlcacious than fln-
ger prints.
DR., Prayer insists that the method
would be more reliable than any of the
methods a present used, for among the
thousands of molds he has taken OF the
interior OF the human mouth, he has
failed to find two which even slightly
resembled each other.
He says that though the teeth alter
greatly with time, the markings of the
palate remain unchanged throughout life.
The individuality OF the palate is greater
and more permanent than that of any
other part of the body and a detective
force which possessed a large collection
OF mouth molds would have guide In
finitely safer than gallery of finger
prints.
