This frank and open publicity places

merits. They cannot be classed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither

DR.. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all the ingredients of his medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writers as cures
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DR.. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value Of his medicines for Ger.

A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter
into DR.. Pierce's medicines, they being
wholly compounded Of glyceric extracts
of the roots of native, American forest

the cure of most lingering, chronic dis

RIFLE SHOOTING.
Develops the Arms, Lungs and Chest
and Trains the Eye.

Develops the Arms, Lungs and Chest
and Trains the Eye.
1t is not only the muscles Of the arm
which are tested by properly organ
lied rifle shooting. 1t supplies an ex-
cellent exercise for the chest and
lungs. One of the first things the young
rifle shot has to learn Is how to take
deep breath, to fill the lungs with air,
and then to hold the breath while the
rifle is kept absolutely steady and the
finger is gradually tightening on the
trigger. A glance at any successful
rifle shot will show you man with a
deep chest and full powers Of breath
ing.
Any form of recreation which trains
the muscles of the arm and exercises
the chest and lungs would seem likely
to be beneficial to health, but if that
is not enough there is the unequaled
training which rifle shooting gives to
the eye and to the hand working with
the eye. The writer remembers hear
ing a musketry Instructor boast that
he had heightened not only his own
sight, but the sight of scores Of boys
whom he had taught how to use their
eyes in aiming at target, by two or
three hundred yards, simply by con-
tinued practice at long distance shoot
ing. 1t is astonishing what results can
be obtained in this way by placing a
rifle on a sand bag raised on tripod
and making the pupil aim as accurate
ly as he can at any distant object. The
eye can be trained, of course, equally
well, though the sight will not neces-
sarily be heightened, by aiming at OBJ
jectS close at hand.-London Spectator.

Not a Bad Prescription.

On a family druggists prescription
file Is an oft repeated prescription
bearing number Bill. The Latin of
the twentieth century reads: Recipe.

Obviously it is an order on the drug
gist written by reputable physician
for two theater tickets, and the pa
ttents, mother and daughter, are en-
abled to take needed treatment at a
matinee while the busy husband and
father remains at work. The reason
for the scheme as told the druggist by
the doctor was the absolute need Of
mother and daughter for recreation,
and as the druggist has a theater
ticket office 1t was readily and salts

The WnY In Turkey.

In the days when NJ. Paul Cambon

republic at Constantinople Nine. Sarah
Bernhardt, who had been touring in
eastern Europe, was desirous of giving
dramatic representation at Yildiz

A PATERNAL CRITICISM.
Sir Henry Irving's Comment on Hia
SONS Early Hamlet.

Sir Henry Irving's Comment on Hia
Sons EARLY Hamlet.
81. B. Irving, son of Sir Henry Irv-
ing, was not educated primarily for the
stage. Studying for the profession Of
barrister, while he was still in college
he took part in amateur theatricals.
An amusing story is told of one of his
earlier interpretations Of the difficult
role of Hamlet. On this particular and
early occasion, however, Sir Henry
was "out in 'front.'" and after the per-
formance several, including his son,
crowded about him for an expression
of opinion.
What do you think of Smith as Po-
lonius" asked one.
Good, very good" murmured Sir
Henry in his quiet kindly way.
"And Miss Blank as Ophelia?'
"Good, very good" again murmured
Sir Henry.
"And Jones as the king?'
Good, very good" repeated Sir
Henry.
"And Thomas as Horatio?'
Good, very good" came the answer.
So the entire cast was gone through
with the exception of the principal
character, and each received the same
precise, neat criticism, good, very
good" Then there was a slight pause,
an awkward pause, after which the
son, who had been waiting eagerly and
anxiously for his fathers opinion about
his acting, managed to pluck up
enough courage to stammer, But, IA
ther-what did you think of-the rest
of the cast2"
Sir Henry looked blandly at his son
and then remarked dryly, Are you
sure that you want to be an actor, my
n?"-Bohemian Magazine

Eirst Man nressmaker-

One day in 1730 beautiful carriage
appeared on the boulevard Of Paris
with an escutcheon in the shape Of q
pair Of corsets and an open pair Of
scissors painted on the panel of each
door. This was the coat of arms Of
Rhomberg, the first man who made a
name as woman's dressmaker.
Rhomberg, who was the son Of Ba-
varian peasant from the neighborhood
Of Munich, owed his rapid success to
his genius for concealing and remedy
ing defects Of figure. He left an an
nual income Of $4,000 francs to his
heirs.

THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
Most Highly Priced of the Surviving
Orders of CkiValry.

Most Highly Priced of the Surviving
Orders of Ckivalry.
OF all the orders of medieval chiyal-
ry which have survived the sfhb flI Of
successive revolutions on the continent
of Europe since the great cataclysm Of
1889 that of the Golden Fleece is per-
haps the most distinguished and the
most highly coveted by personages of
royal birth or of illustrious patrician
lineage.
The badge of the order is a figure of
q sheep in embossed gold suspended
from a heavy chain of gold. The full
robes consist of a long mantle of GRIM
son velvet cut in the fashion of sac
erdotal cope, richly embroidered at
the borders with emblematic devices of
stars, half moons and f1eeces Of gold
and lined with white satin, over a
doublet and hose of crimson damask.
The full robes also comprise "chap-
eron," or hood, with a long, flowing
streamer of black satin, but this head
gear has in modern times been general
ly dispensed with.
Originally the robes of the order,
which was founded in 1929 by Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy, were Of
crimson cloth lined with white lambs
wool, and this circumstance has some
what strengthened the theory that the
Golden Fleece was instituted by Philip
the Good in grateful recognition Of the
Immense treasures which the Duke Of
Burgundy had acquired from the wool
of the tiocks reared on his vast estates
in Flanders. Be 1t as it may, the WOOL
en- costume was changed In 1473 at a
chapter held in Valenclennes for the
more costly materials of velvet, taffeta,
damask and golden embroidery.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

Byron and His Title.

Professor Mason In the first pub
lished records of the ancient gram
mar school Of Aberdeen recounts this
school legend about the poet Byron: "It
was said that on his coming to school
the first morning after his accession to
the peerage was known and on the
calling out Of his name in the catalogue
no longer as 'Georgi Gordon Byron but
as 'Georgi Baro de Byron he did not
reply with the usual and expected 'ad-
sum- but, feeling the gaze Of all his
schoolfellows, burst into tears and ran
out"

The Privilege of Peers.

There is curious case in Fortescue's
reports" relating to the privilege Of
peers, in which the bailiff who many
years ago arrested lord was forced
by the court to kneel down and ask
his pardon, though he alleged that he
had acted by mistake, for that his
lordship had a dirty shirt, a wornout
suit Of clothes and only sixpence in
his pocket, so that he could not be-
lieve that he was peer and arrested
him through nadvertence.-Green Bag

TAKES UP
DEAD FATHERS FIGHT.
Will Try to Prevent Governor warfeld's
Election as United States Senator
in Maryland.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 23.-State Sena-
tor Arthur Pue German will not allow
Governor Warfield to succeed his dead
father in the United States Senate if
he can help 1t.
War1eld has thrown down the gant-
let and German will accept the chal-
lcnge. Already a candidate for re-
election as State Senator, he will an
nounce himself a candidate for United
States Senator. 1t promises to be the
liveliest political duel ever fought in
Maryland.
Howard County, the home of the
Germans and the Warfelds, will be the
battle-ground. Should Warfield carry
the county primaries for Senator, Cor
man would be bound as a member of
the Legislature If reelected to vote for
Warfleld.
Young German had not intended to
be a candidate to succeed his father,
but Warield has forced him to make
the fight. 1t will be a battle for politi-
cal supremacy. Young German has
taken up his fathers fight against
Warfield, inc 1t will be to a finish.

DOUBLE MURDER LAID
TO THE BLACK HAND.
Italian Coal Miners waylaid After
Quitting Work This Morning-No
Clue to Criminals.

COALDALE, Pa, Aug. ga double
murder. for which the Black Hand is
held responsible, was committed on the
streets of this place today, and adds an
other crime to the long list that has
been committed In this n~eighborhood
by unknown persons. While Frank
Peknolas and Samuel Ambrose were
walking together along Ridge street,
they were attacked by several men,
and before they could offer effective
resistance they were stabbed to death.
Peknolas's throat was cut almost from
a to ear. and Ambrose received a
knife wound that pierced his heart.
As robbery was not the motive. and
as the Black Hand has been active in
this section, the crime is charged to
the members of that mysterious band.
It is known thai Peknolas and Ambrose
had expressed fea of vengeance at the
hands of enemies.
The men had worked In the mines
all night, and before leaving for their
homes, two hours before their bodies
were found, they had spoken of their
fear of being waylaid. There is no
clue to the murderers.
