A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

It was once thou ght that a
medicine was all the more bene-
fetal for having nasty taste and
smell. We now know dat such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the SEN
ses than why food should do so.
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories Of the pasJ
few years is what we may cal
the redemption of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in its natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease tl2n
take plain cod liver oil, and the
emulsions are as bad, no mater
what may be alleged to the cor
trary. Now it is one of natGre's
laws that a medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as a rledi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from it. IN
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part OF
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-
table as honey and contains all
the curative properties of pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by
us from fresh cod Evers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup,
of Hypophosphites and the Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
The palate accepts it as it does
sugar, confectionery or cream
Taken before meals it goes to tht
very secret stronghold Of diges-
tive disorders, and strengthens
the system against Scrofula,
Throat and Lung Troubles I'D
all diseases due to impur;ty cf
the blood. Dr.. G. c. Shannon, Of
Canada, says: Il shall continue
its use with, I All sure, great ad-
vantage to my peticns5 and salts
gac-ioa to myself" It hes d..
the virtues of cod Ever oil: none

CHINESE CASE
LOOKS QUEER
Is an Attempt Being Made to
Shanghai Boy Born
Here?

A very peculiar Chinese deportation
case, that looked as if somebody were
trying to ship out of the country as
foreign-born Chinese man who was
born here and never saw China, was
before United States Commissioner
George A. Davis yesterday. The sug-
gestion was made after the hearing
that possibly the captain of the YES
sci, who allowed three Chi
nese to escape and who must get them
again or pay Uncle Sam $1,000 apiece
for those he does not succeed in hav-
ing returned to the vessel, might be
glad to have the accused youth put on
board his vessel to fill one of the
vacancies
There are several unexplained cir
cumstances in connection with the
case. the chief one being why an at
tempt was made on the part of some
one to have deported Chinese whose
father is well known here and has
been known personally by Judge Dole
for more than thirty years.
1t appears that the boys father
sold to the captain of the Scottish
Monarch a supply of vegetables and
other supplies, and when he asked
payment, it is said that the captain
accused him of having guilty knowl-
edge of the whereabouts of the three
escaped Chinese, and refused to pay
him until he should divulge their
whereabouts. The man denied any
knowledge of where the three men
were hiding, and the arrest of his son,
Loo Luen, followed shortly after.
There is no suspicion of any at
tempt at crooked work on the part of
any Federal official, but it looks on
the face of it as if some interested
person were trying to use the processes
of the United States for his private
ends. The matter is not settled the
case going over until Monday, but
Judge Dole's statement that he has
known the boys father for thirty
years will be enough to convince the
prosecuting officers that some one has
been trying to use them, and some
thing is liable to fall on the man who
is trying the game. The vessel
is still short three men, and I'M
less she gets them, it will cost her
$4,000.

Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco Is eouched ill very fiowery and fam boyant style. It is interspersed with variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the epistle. For example. an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:

We got the animals well trained for their parts, and on the opening night they gave first class performance. On the following night. however, we were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse. went on without any trouble whatever, but Jack-that was the name of the donkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlights. We finally had to go on with the perform snce with the donkey left out. After the show was over we got together and tried 10 find out what had been the matter.

Human Heart as . Power Engine.

A great physician once remarked that, despite it's complexity, there was no organ of the body readier to adapt itself to circumstances or more capa' ble of repaying ordinary care than the heart. This Is very true, and an ap- preciation of that fact should cause Us all the more carefully to follow tue wise mans advice and to keep our heart with all diligence. When we have regard to the tremendous work the heart accomplislles We might well with Wesley say, Strange that harp of thousand strings should keep in tune so long" Estimated in scientific fashion, a mans heart In twenty four hours performs an amount of work which If represented by the energy de manded for q big lift would raise l.D tons of weight one foot high. Such Il calculation can be accurately deter mined by measuring the force expeEd
 ed in one beat or cycle of movement, of the heart and multiplying the short work into that of the day. Thus in no small degree does the hearts labor contribute to swell the big total of the energy the human engine expends each day it lives.-New York World.
