Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for indigestion or bilious ness. Doctors were scarce , and they seldom heard of appendicitis , nervous prostration or heart failure , etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermenlation of undigested food , regulate the action of the liver , stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system , and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower , in liquid form , to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Get Green's Prize Almanac. A. McMillen.

Almunlltion Into AVhlch Victims n the llnlilt Iliive Fallen. When lapses of memory becom habitual , the person is properly en 1 lei absentminded. The Chicago Tribun relates the following absurdities hit which some victims of this disensi have fnllen : A bridegroom of 24 hours left hi : wife , strolled around to his mother-in law's house anil askeil her If lie daughter was at home. This cami from force of habit. lie had been call Ing there daily for some time , and I probably occurred to him that he hu ; not paid his usual visit. A Chicago bank president Is unabl < to account for three-quarters of ai hour of his life. He went Into a res taurant as usual and ordered his lunch Nearly an hour later he found hlmsell in his otlice chair and suddenly re meinbercd the order. lie vent back across the street and asked if the luncheon was ready. The clerk informed him that he liad eaten paid the bill and gone away some 1. minutes before , that he bad put his hat on as he went out and that he ( the clerk ) had not noticed anything peculiar in his actions. The bank president congratulates himself that he can be trusted to be have like an ordinary mortal even when he doesn't happen to have his mind with him. An editor of a daily paper has laid [ ilmself open to unkind remarks by trying to take up a collection in his rifiice. Happening to want a small coin , he turned to his fellow worker and asked for a quarter. "Ilaveif t jrot it , but hero's a dollar , " ; he man replied as he tossed it over. The editor put the dollar in his pocket iml immediately turned to a special writer at the next desk and said : "Miss - , could you lend me a quar- ler ? " Then , seeing the man from ivhom lie had got the dollar grin , lie aided hastily : "Oh. never mind. I just ; ot a dollar from I'.rown. " In analyzing his conduct he said : hnt Brown's reply that lie did not lave a quarter was apparently the > nly part of the transaction that made my impression upon him. But he is mder suspicion in that office ant ! will n-obably never be able to live it down. HOW ZULU WOMEN SEW. Phey re Skewers For Xeedle.s ninl GirnlTe Sincwo Kor Thread. The skill of the Zulus of South Africa ti sewing fur is a household word in ioutli Africa , and some of the other ribes compete with them. The needle mployed is widely different from that ised by the ordinary needlewomen. In he first place , it has no eye : in the econd , it is like a skewer , pointed at lie end and thick at the other. The thread is not of cotton , but is iade of the sinews of various animals , lie best being made from the sinews i the neck of a giraffe. It is stiff , lelastic , with a great tendency to kink" and tangle itself up with any- Siing near it. Before being used it is teeped in hot water until it is quite ift and is then beaten between two niooth stones , which causes it to sep- rate into filaments , which can thus be btained of any length and thickness , bus the seamstress has a considera- le amount of labor before she com- icnces with the real work in hand. Finally she squats on the grounder or no native stands to work or do aything else who ran possibly help ) and , taking her needle , bores two sles in the edges of the rug or gar- ; ent on which she is working. The iread is then pushed through with te butt of the needle , drawn tight , id two more holes are made with like result , the skewer progressing ; ry slowly , but fast enough for a umtry where time is of no value hatever. The skin upon which the seamstress working is damped with water be- re she commences , and as the damp read and hide dry out they bring the ork very closely together. Sympathy. An old housewife in the country was unoaniug her poverty to an unsyin- tthetic husband. "Things aiu't as they used ter be , " e complained. "Why , I ain't got lything like I used ter her. I ain't t quilts enough ter go round the ds , there's two of the best chairs oken , an I ain't got no dress thet's ally fit ter go ter meetin , an if I was i' die ternight I wouldn't hev a cap : be buried in.
