Natures Most Valuable Cathartic.

Heretofore castor oil, the most val
liable cathartic known, has been ex-
cluded from universal use by Its nau-
seous odor, disagreeable flavor and
sickening after taste, SO that inferior
medicines have been in demand.
Now, however, chiIdhood's bugbear
has been banished by the benefactor
who compounded Palatal, purgative
specific, in which all the virtues Of
this oil are retained, from which all
its vices are eliminated. 1t is not a
substitute for castor oil, but it is that
remedy without unpleasant taste and
stomach irritants.
1T Is palatable, harmless and diges-
tible, because the ninety-three per
cent. Of chemically pure cold pressed
cream of castor oil is combined with:
seven per cent of wholesome favor
ings- anise, coriander and caraway.
This is why children lick the spoon
As laxative or purgative for ba-
bies and pregnant women Palatal can
be taken with comfort and without
danger of any sort. 1t is easily cd
ministered and agrees with the most
sensitive stomach. An overdose is
impossible, as the excess simply
passes through the bowels unchanged
and lubricates the intestines, produc-
ing easy movements, without the un-
comfortable straining "gripes" no
ticed when other cathartics are used.

Journalism is, and must be, in a
hurry; literature is not. Literature
deals with the permanent elements of
human things. A Journalist has to
take the moods and occasions Of the
hour and make the best of them. But
literature more or less describes the
attitude of Judge; the journalist
dealing with what are called live is
sues, has to be more or less of an
advocate. Literature deals with
ideals, the Journalist is a man of ac-
tion.. He is not student, but a man
of action, and he is concerned with
the real.-Lord Morley, on Literature
and Journalism. at Imperial Press
Conference. London.

Six Indians we're at the union depot

northern Nebraska. They had come
from Ponca City, Okla. The men
threw their blankets on the floor in

selves with eagle wings. Simon Big

only one in the party who would talk
and he said as little as possible.

Marvellous Coincidence.

While trying an old woman on a

had acquired the habit Of thinking
aloud unconsciously exclaimed:

TRAGIC HISTORY OF A DIAMOND.


The possession of the Hope dia-
mond recently sold in Paris for s16.-
900 is the story of long series of
tragedies murder, suicide, madness
and various other misfortunes. The
first recorded Western owner was the
great traveller, Jean Baptiste Taver-
nier, who was born in Paris in 1905
and who died at Moscow about the
year 1886. Tavernier, on his return
from the East, sold twenty-five large
diamonds to the Grand Monarque in
1868, and among them the diamond
known by the name OF Hope. Taver-
nier's son involved his father in such
unfortunate speculations that he was
compelled to sell his estate to pay his
debts, and at the age of eighty-one to
start on a fresh journey to the East.
When it became part of the crown
Jewels Nine. de Montespan was in
monopoly of the Kings affections,
and he yielded to her request to wear
the famous blue diamond But by a
curious coincidence her influence over
the King declined from about this
time, and Nine. de Maintenon took
her place. Nicolas Fouquet, Superin-
tendent- General des Finances, bor-
rowed the diamond from Louis XIV.
for one Of those costly fetes which he
gave, and which appear to have
reused the jealousy Of the King. He
kept 1t for some time: he fell into dis
grace, was imprisoned and died of
apoplexy. The diamond lay for a
long series of years during the regen-
cy with the other crown jewels, until
Marie Antoinette became Queen of
France, She heard of its extraordi-
nary beauty, and by the command Of
Louis XVI. it was given to her. She
wore 1t, we are told, about her throat
at great ball at the Tuileries. The
Princesse de Lamballe, her bosom
friend--the friend for whom the his
toric Gainsborough hat was first
made - occasionally borrowed and
wore the blue diamond. Marie An
toinette was beheaded and the Prin-
cesse de Lamballe was done to death
by Paris mob.
For nearly forty years the diamond
remained perdue SO far as the public
+ was concerned, Its actual history in
that interval will probably never be
fully told 1t is said that Wilhelm
