The Stomach Cannot Rest.

1t is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does
not end until the food has reached the
intestlnes. The salivary glands in the
mouth, tie stomach, lower stomach,
liver, spleen, etc, take part in the diges-
tive process. This process is going on
continuously. Think of resting the heart
or the lungs for few minutes, or any
other organ. Pepsin pancreatin, etc, do
not rest the stomach, they digest the
residue of food a weak digestive system
cannot digest and thus relieve the body
OF irritating acids or gas. Rydale's
Stomach Tablets contain just enough
Pepsin and Pancreatin to do this. They
also contain many vegetable tones and
stimulants for the digestive tract. Rv.
dale's Stomach Tablets cure dyspepsia
the only way it can be cured. Ask us
about them. Charles A. Searles & Co.

When asked to settle she said she had no
money. She was turned over to the
overseer who investigated her case and
found that she formerly lived in Fairlee
and that for some time she had been
working in different places. She was
laboring under delusion that she was
medium, that spirits were in communica-

was fleeing from parties who wanted
her for murder. She is rather prepos-

Fresh Water for Poultry.

1t Is essential that water for fowls
be changed twice daily, at least, and
unless it is kept celan It will occasion
disease. Should a fowl be H. and the
owner not be aware of it, as 1t drinks
it is bound to contaminate the water
from some discharge, perhaps from its
nostrils or from the breath, says the
Mirror and Farmer A sick bird, Of
course, should always be removed, but
sometimes the farmer or poultryman is
unaware that the fowl Is sick until it
Is too late to undo the harm it has
done by communicating the drinking
water. The best plan is to keep the
water as fresh and the drinking yes
sells as clean as it is possible to do. A
few drops of carbolic acid In the drink
ing water will assist in keeping 1t
pure, but the acid should be used care
fully on account of its poisonous quail
ties. Washing the drinking fountains
or vessels daily will do more to keep
the water fresh and pure than any
thing else. When water is allowed to
stand, even If only for few hours, on
throwing it out there will be the small
est accumulation of slime in the foun-
tain, and If they are refilled without
washing them, the coating Increases
until the water, although freshly put
in, is unfit for the fowls use AS the
warm weather advances there is more
necessity Of watching the drinking yes

Famous Golf Match.

The projected golf match between two
well known amateurs and a leading
member of the London stock exchange
for a stake of $500 recalls the famous
foursome in which the Duke of York,
afterward James H., took a prominent
part on the Leith links in the year
1852. 1t was really an international
contest, in which the duke, with John
Patersone, a golfng shoemaker of great
repute, championed Scotland against two
noblemen of England a heavy wager
depending on the issue. The duke and
the cobbler had an easy victory, thanks
largely to the man of the last, and John
Patersone's share of the stake Wns so
substantial that he was able to build a
goodly house in the Canongate, in a
wall of which the duke caused stone
to be placed bearing the Patersone arms
with the motto Far and sure q
tribute to the cobber's driving powers.
Patersones house, we understand,
survives estminster Gazette.

Corn CrON Of IlO&.

The Indian corn crop for 1908.
amounted to 2,643, 600, 900 bushels. The
crops OF three years have exceeded
this, but only the crop of one year
(1906) exceeded 1t very much. The
value Of the crop Is estimated at ST.
615,000,000. The price of corn is ex.
ceptionally high. There are only two
years In which the farm price Of this
crop was as high as 1t is for this year
In 1881 the price was 636 cents; In
1901, when there was only two-thirds
of an ordinary crop, the price was
COS cents. The total value of this
crop Is by far the highest ever reach
ed. The crop Of 1902 was worth a bill
lion dollars, and the crops Of 1904,
1905 and 1906 were worth $500 900 900
more; the great increase of $500 600

SOLID WOOD BLOSSOM.
Peculiar Flower Found on Trees Growing
in CrevaSses of Mount Aqua

III SlCNhSoto VI Nipuhl ny
Through the gift of friend who Wis
tied the remote region where it grows
Herman Silver of Los Angeles has come
into the possession of a specimen of the
strangcst and rarcst flower known To
scientists.
1t is the Rose of He'll" gigantic
blossom Of solid wood. which grows only
on the edges of a Central American vol
cano and gets its name from the Indians,
who believe the crater is the entrance Of
hell and the blossom a natiy" OF the
regions inside.
Mr.. Silyer's specimen is one of few
that have ever been brought to this
country, and perhaps the finest. At first
appearance it seems to be tough
gnarlcd knot of a tree which bns been
splintered, but closer examination dis
closes the fact that il has petals of wood
and bark and the rough outlines Of n
flower. The petals, cOncayc in form. are
arranged much like the petals of half
blown rose. Their inside surfaces are
covered with fine lines, which have the
delicacy Of fine hand carving. The STEM
which is about Il foot long is of some
unusual wood, which is light and strong
1t is covered with heavy bark which
seems to have been cracked by heat
Both flowers and stem are dark brown
the color of weather beaten bouEhs-aud
dry as finder. The flower grows on n
tree of great size and strength. The
blossom measures about l. inches
across.
The trees grow in the crcvasSes on the
sides of Mount Aqua, a high peak among
the rugged mountains Of Central America
and near the volcano of Fucgo. The
Guatemalan Indians have known Of it
for Il long time and have associated it
with the fiery vengeance of the subter

STONEWALL JACKSON.
Battle Scared Bottle Scared" and
Battle Sacred"

The death Of John William Jones, d.
D., at Columbus, Ga. recalls what is
probably the funniest series of typo
graphical blunders which ever actually
occurred, says The Waterman. The
writer can testify to the accuracy of
this series. because he read them at the
time there were made in the two journals
involved After the Civil war DR.. Jones
was southern correspondent of the New
York Examiner At that time there was
rival Baptist paper in New York city
called The Watchtower. In writing OF
the death Of his friend Stonewall Jack
son DIR. Jones praised highly his charac-
ter, and referred to him as a battle
SCARED veteran"
The printers OF The Examiner amend
ed this, and it was stated 10 the readers
that Stonewall Jackson was "a battle
scared veteran" The Watchtower saw
chance to make a little fun of its rival
paper and attempted simply to reproduce
the error of The Examiners printer: but
the printer of The Watchtower took his
turn and make it read that Stonewall
Jackson was "a bottle scared veteran"
Now The Examiner had a good chance
to get back at its rival, and made merry
at the trial to correct one error by max
ing worse one. But alas! it seemed
that the expression was doomed to a
comedy of errors, for when The Exam
iners triumphant counter appeared, 1t
Informed its readers that in attempting
TO correct the error in The Examiner
The Watchtower had said that stone
wall Jackson was "a battle sacred veter-
an AT this both the editors gave il up
