Millionaires Poor Stomachs
The worn out stomach of the over fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as a horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealthy But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs The proportion is far greater
among the toilers Dyspepsia and in
digestion ar rampant among these peo
ple and they suffer far worse tortures
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine like
Greens August Flower which has been
a favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over 35 years
August Flower rouses the torpid liver
thus creating appetite and insuring per
fect digestion It tones and vitalizes
the entire system and makes life worth

A Pea Picture of Qneen Anne
Those outside of a palace may feel
Shakespeares sentiment Theres such
divinity doth hedge a king but it 13
hardly possible to those Inside One
of the Scotch commissioners to nego
tiate a union between Scotland and
England Sir John Clerk could not
have felt It dujlng an official Interview
with Queen Anne of whom he gives
this realistic picture
Her majesty was laboring under a
flt of the gout and In extream pain and
agony and on this occasion everything
about her jvas much In the same dis
order as uifcut the meanest of her
subjects Her face which was red
nnd spotted was- rendered something
frightful by her negligent dress and
the foofnffected was tied up with a
cpultls -and some nasty bandages
I was much affected at this sight
and the more when she had occasion to
mention her people of Scotland which
she did frequently to the duke What
are you poor meanlike Mortal
thought I who talks in the style of a
Sovcralgn
Nature seems to be inverted wrhen a
poor inlirm Woman becomes one of the
Rulers of the world but asTactus ob
serves it is not the first time that Wom

deed they have sometimes done this
to better purpose than the Men
Sis Follies of Science
The six follies of science are 1 The
squaring of the circle 2 perpetual
motion 3 the philosophers stone 4
the elixir of life 3 magic and G as
trology
In all ages men of undoubted ability
have toiled early and late to unravel
the mysteries supposed to be connected
with these fascinating problems It is
not always remembered that such in
tellectual giants as Bacon Sir Robert
Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought
the philosophers stone which strange
to say receives some countenance
from the modern theory of allotropy
In the study of astrology Lilly was for
a time even pensioned by parliament
Most of these follies conferred in
direct benefits upon science for in
seeking one thing their devotees dis
covered many another The craze for
the secret or unknown has still its
hold upon men and is seen in palmistry
and kindred cults Loudon Standard
A JoJie ORell Didnt Appreciate
Max ORell was booked to lecture in
Hartmans hall in Grand Rapids a
number of years ago Carroll Hart
man Avas having a serious time in in
ducing the people of the valley city to
see the merits of lecturers
There was a big sale for the ORell
lecture and Hartman wandered over
to the Morton House In the afternoon
to call on the French wit also to pay
him his fee of 100
But I have not delivered the lecture
yet Suppose I should die before to
night said ORell who could not un
derstand why a manager should pay
for something not yet delivered
Oh thats all right Id exhibit
your corpse replied Hartman The
witty Frenchman never recovered from
the shock of Hartmans remark At
any rate he refused to lecture in Grand
Rapids again Detroit Free Press

The Newfoundland coast folk are
wreckers as well as fishermen not
wreckers in the criminal sense but ex

frequently pays better than his regular
vocation and salvage schooners find
permanent employment there with div
