Wornan's Stomach
It Causes Much Misery if Not
 Kept in Condition.

Many women who would not tole- rate anything but Fcrupulously clean kitchen continue day in and day out to suffer from an unclean stomach, ] where food fermerts, turns sour and becomes putrid. .
 It is just as easy for 8 woman to keep her stomach clean as to keep her kitchen clean; in fact it Is much easier, and does not require hours of toil.
 One or two Mi-o na stomach tablets after each meal will in 8 short time thoroughly clean and renovate the most distressed stomach. They will do more; they will pat strength and energy into the walls of the stomach; and cause the juices of digestion to flow freely, so that all food will promptly digest.
 Women. keep your stomach clean and free from fern enting food, and you will fnd that other ailments, such as nausea, biliousness, sick head ache, nervousness, sleeplessness, con stipation and palpitation of the heart W Il disappear. ...

PERFORMING LIONS.
PeriIs That Come With Managing
 Those Vicious Animals.

PeriIs That Come With Managing
 Those Vicious Animals.
 1 asked Captain Bonavita once what he considered his most dangerous mo- ment when he performed with his twenty seven lions. .,, He said that he thought 1t was when he first entered the arena. The moment before, when he had to drive this great herd of lions in, was almost as bad, but the first few minutes when the crowd of lions entered were terribly uncertain and undoubtedly the most dangerous. '' ''
 Tn the first place;awith such crowd there was the danger Of being pushed or knocked down. Then there was the danger of tripping among them or of stepping on their tails, for many of them would lie down and roll oyer and over as a preliminary to the perform ance, and if he were not struck by their feet he was just as likely to be struck across the face or body with their strong, ropelike tails.
 In getting them into their places there was also considerable danger, for in such a crowd it is difficult to treat each animal according to its pc culiar idiosyncrasies, and flick of the whip intended for one lion who would be fairly indifferent to it is likely to be caught by another to whom it will mean instant revolt. Tn any sort of revolt the whole number will always side with the one that caused it.-Ellen Velvin in McClure's.

THE PRESENT lNsTANT.-
Science Defines It as the Hundredth
 Part of a Second.

Part of Second.
 A congress of European astronomers decided that the present time-tkat is, the present moment at any particular instant-consists of the hundredth part of a second. This has been settled on because these men of science have thought that it represented the tiniest fraction of time which could be appre- ciated by the human brain. Yet the thousandth part of a second is actually used in physical science, especially in certain important uses of electricity.
 For scientific purposes, however, the official present moment flashes from the future to the past in the hun dredth part of a second. This cannot seem so remarkable when it is recalled that speed records for both horses and men runners are officially calculated in fractions as small as one-fifth of sec ond.
 But in astronomy it is needed to have the hundraGth part of q second, for in that moment light can travel 2,O00 miles. So time which is. after all. only fi@ure of speech and is a mys- tery that no hmuan brain can under stand or fathom. must be considered relatively to ones sensations. The time to pull an aching tooth k really much longer to the sufferer than a whole night spent in sound sleep. It is more of the persons actual life. It de mands more food to stand the nervous strain and the pain than hours of quiet rest.
 Time, then, for all men is relative to their personal sensations. Yet time is real enough. It takes actual time for starlight to travel, in some cases thou sands of years. It takes time for sound to travel and time for the electric wave to work actual results over long dis tances.
 So that time is not only theoretical; it is as real as coal and wood. Yet this reality stretches over a human life time back to ages before the existence of the sun and the stars. For purposes of ordinary human work the second is small enough to use as standard of value, but scientific men have pro- gressed so far in knowledge that the second is too long period for them to consider as the scientific instant. Therefore they have chosen the hun dredth of a second as the standard for the length of time that they will con- slider as the actual moment at any one instant-Cincinnati Enquirer.
