Do Your Meals Fiji?
Do You Feel Snug and Uncomfortable Around Your Waist Line After
 Hearty Meal?

Did your last meal taste deliciously good to you, and did you eat all you wanted? Could you have patted your rotundity in glee and felt proud of your appetite and of your good, strong stomach? Do you feel rosy now be- cause your last meal gave yoa no in- convenience whatever? If not, you have dyspepsia in some form, and probably never realized it.
 If you have the least trouble in your stomach after eating, no matter how little or how much you eat, there is trouble brewing and you must correct 1t at once.
 Most all stomach troubles come from poor, weak, scanty gastric juice, that precious liquid which ought to turn your food into rich, red blood
 If you have nausea your gastric juice is weak. If you have sour ris- ings or belchings your food is fer menting; your gastric juice is weak If you have loss of appetite your gas- tric juice is weak. If you have a bloaty feeling of aversion to food your gastric juice is weak,
 You need something in your stom- ach to supply the gastric juice, which is scanty, ana to give power to the weak gastric juice. stuarts Dyspep- sia Tablets do this very thing.
 Now think-one grain of one of the ingredients of these wonderful little tablets digssts 5000 grains of food They are several times more powerful than the gastric juice in a good, strong, powerful stomach. They actu- ally digest your food for you. Be- sides, they increase the flow of gastric juice. just what you need to get all the good possible out of everything you eat. You will never have that Hump of lead" in your stomach, nor any other stomach trouble, after taking stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Then everything you eat will be digested, it will give you strength, vim. energy and a rosy disposition. You'll feel good all around your waist line after every meal, and it will make you feel good all over.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will make you feel happy after eating a good, hearty meal Take one. or two after eating. Yeu'll feel fne-then your meals will fit, no matter what or when you eat.

 Congreve of rocket fame. It consisted of a splint of wood, first tipped with sulphur and then with chlorate mix ttre. These matches were drawn rap- idly through piece of folded sand pa- per to ignite them It ils curious to note that a tin box containing seven dozen of them, together with the neces- sary bit of sandpaper, cost one shilling. Finally, after endless experimenting inspired by handsome prizes offered by America, England and other enli shten- ed countries, the non-phosphorus safe- ty match was brought into being, putt ting the top stone, as 1t were. upon mans monumental struggle with the problem of striking a light. It is a curious commentary on the old worlds slpwness of inventive gen. ius that the first practical match should have been made lesa than a century ago.

THE COST IN BLOOD.
Startling Figures of Lives Lost in
 the Russian Revolution.

The cost of the Russian revolution so far in disorders and bloodshed has been computed by the statistician, Drzhankoff, who finds that 1t has swallowed 19.144 lives. In addition, 1,405 persons have been wounded. Thirteen hundred and fifty prisoners have committed suicide and 2,3S1 have been executed. But the balance on that account has been on the side of the revolutionists, who have as- sassinated eighty-three generals or goeyrnors, sixty-one prefects, and s. 079 other officials. It would appear from these appalling figures that if the members of the Russian bureau craey were thinking entirely about their own personal interests they would all join the liberal movement. They take risks now that make their occupation more hazardous than that of coal miners, firemen or workers in powder mills.
 The statistician has kept count of 1862 riots against the Jews and 4,540 against Armenians. The decay of discipline in the armed forces of the State is luridly Illuminated by the re- cord of 22,193 mutinies.
 The chief difficulty in the way of forming an intelligent opinion about Russian affairs is the uncertainty whether any given piece of news from that region is true. A curious illus tration of the untrustworthiness of a great part. of this information was given when a series of dispatches told witah g. wealth of corroborative de- tail how the Kishinef mob melted by band of ruff1ians from Odessa, broke loose on the night of September s, in a massacre that cost the live of eight Jews, and how many of the victims were driven into blazing lumber yard and burned to death. But when the America Jewish committee cabled inquiries it learned that the stories had been works of the imagination and that there had been no new mas sacres at Kishinef at all.-Samuel Z Moffett In Golfers.

THE IDEAL FRIENDSHIP.

It is often said that 1t is the duty
 and privilege of @ friend to warn his
 friend faithfully against his faults. I
 believe that this is a wholly mistaken
 principle. The essence fthe situa-
 ton is rather cordial partnership of
 which the basis is liberty. What I
 mean by liberty Is not a freedom
 from responsibility but an absence of
 obligation. do not, of course, mean
 that one Is to take all one can get and
 give as little as one likes, but rather
 that one must respect ones friend
 enoughand that is implied in the es-
 tablishment of the relation--to ab-
 stain from directing him, unless he
 desires and asks for direction. The telling of faults may be safely left to [ hostile critics, and to what Sheridan calls "d--d good-natured" acquaint-
 ances But the friend must take for granted that his friend desires, in q l general way. what is good and true, even though he may pursue 1t on diff ferent lines. Ones duty Is to en- courage and believe in ones friend not to disapprove of and to censure | him. One loves him for what he is, not for what he might be If he would only take one's advice. The point is that It must be all a free gift not a@nutual Improvement society,"
 unless, indeed, that Is the basis of the 1 compact. After all, man can only 1 feel responsible to God. One goes l astray, no doubt, like sheep that Is lost; but 1t Is not the duty of another sheep to butt one back into the right
 way, unless, indeed, one appeals fol help. One may have pastors and di-
 rectors, but they can never be equa friends. If there is to be superiority
 in friendship, the lesser must willing.
 ly crown the greater; the greater must not ask to be crowned. The SC. cure friendship is that which begin: in comradeship and moves into z
 more generous and emotional region | Then there Is no need to demand ol
 to question loyalty, because the tlt has been welded by many a simple l deed, many frank word The idea l is a perfect frankness and sincerity 1 which lays bare the soul as 1t Is, with, out any false shame or any fear o1
 misunderstanding A friendship ol this kind can be one of the purest Ibfightest and strongest things in the world Yet how rare 1t is!-Arthul IC Benson in putnau's Mapazina

HIGH VAUDEVILLE SALARIES.

Of all people who work for their living, vaudeville performers are the best paid. Of three-fourths, yes, sev- en-eightfls, of the travelling theatrical companies, the whole salary list does not amount to s2.5eO a week, and yet in vaudeville that much is paid to one performer who gives an eighth of the performance. It is true that a S2,500 q week performer doesn't appear Of ten in any one theater, but an act that costs S1,00o week has become the rule rather than the exception in every bill, while a great majority of the acts cost from $2B0 to $500, and in the best vaudeville houses no act costs less than $75 week. 'Chasers," employed to drive audiences out of houses giving continuous perform ances, get that much. In the good vaudeville houses, the salary list of performers ranges from $2,500 to $4y- 900 week, and the maximum Is paid more often than the minimum. Occasionally the cost will run to $5,4 900 week. The standard in practi- cally every first class vaudeville house in the country is $3,2O0 week, and each manager tries to keep as close to that as possible It has been found that this will provide an attrac- tive bill and yet leave a fair margin of profit,--Everybody's.

esting varieties are here reproduced.
 There is the very old type of wooden
 box, perhaps the earliest strike-a-light
 set made by civilized mankind. With
 this are certain small angular pieces of
 stout paper, the tips of which are dip
 ped in sulphur, These are the most
 primitive kind of match known. They
 were used for generating a flame, by
 application to the smouldering finder.
 Genuine specimens of these matches
 are now extremely rare, though 'fak-
 ed ones are often offered for sale by
 dishonest dealers in curios,

 A peculiar fish has been in the wa tars near the island of Monhegan, which excited the curiosity of several fisher men. They made a determined effort to capture the monster, A few days ago someof the fishermen from the is- land first saw a huge fin above the water and investigated, finding that the fin was attached to a fish If enormous size the pole was jabbed in the body without disturbing the big fish to any extent. A line was made fast to the pole and this enabled the men to keep up an attachment with the fish tNI | harpoon was brought from the shoro It was the Intention of the fishermen to strike the creature in the head, but they nlsjudged its length and the har- poon was buried in feshy part of the body. This caused the fish to swing its tail out of the water
 One of the men In a dory was just within reach and was nearly knocked oyerboard The men say the full force of the blow would have destroyed the dory. The islanders stayed by the fish until dark, and after they had put out "a light found that this attracted the huge creature which came swimming directly for them. They were obliged to extinguish the lantern and gave up the intended capture.
