the best you can get and enough of it Dose one iablespoonfuljn water ct btd time Sold by all Druggists A gentleman of a methodical habit who bad adopted the practice of retaining a copy of every pre scription issued by his family physician became interested as time went on to note that the same ingredients were pretty certain to be prescribed at some point of the treatment of every case For a poor appetite or a sore throat for restlessness which disturbed the babys sleep and for troubles which beset the aged grandparents the favorite remedjT was always burning up although slightly modified from time to time and used often in conjunction with others One day our friend hap pened to observe that the formula of a certain advertised remedy was identical with the latest prescrip tion he had received from his own physician and in some surprise he stated the case to him The family doctor after listening to what he had to say replied The case is about this way Whenever there is a disturbance of the functions of the body no matter of what nature it is pretty certain to be accompanied by a derangement f the digestive organs When they are all right the patient gets well That particular formula that you have observed me to write more and more f requently is the result of an age of careful experiment and is pretty generally agreed upon now by all educated physicians who keep up with the times The dis covery of the past few years of the means of reducing every drug to a powder and compressing the powders into little lozenges or tablets or tabules if you prefer which will not break or spoil or lose their good qualities from age if protected from air and light is the explanation of how it has come about that this prescription is now for sale as an advertised remedy It is the medicine that nine people out of ten need every time they need any and I have no doubt that making it so easy to obtain so carefully prepared and withal so cheap will tend to actually prolong the average of human life during the present generation Klpans Tabules are sold by druggists or by mall It the price 50 cents a box is Bent to The Brpaus Chemi cal Company o 10 Spruce Street

Professional chess players consider ing the laborious nature of their work the character of mind and the long preparatory study required are proba bly as ill paid as any kind of intellec tual workers The professional chess player who earns by his play more than a decent modest living is a highly suc cessful man An expert may be hired to run a chess automaton and play with all comers at a salary less than some typewriters earn There are in all the world probably less than half a hun dred highly skilled professional chess players A few professional chess players are men of means but for the most part the passion for the game leads the pro fessional player to put aside material considerations in order to follow his bent Some of the best known players dress shabbily and live plainly The ablest and most successful usually eke out their incomes made directly from the game by writing on chess discuss ing problems and the like Books on chess succeed one another rap idly but none has a large sale They are costly to produce and the stereo type plates are of small value The aggregate of considerable prizes of fered in chess contests throughout the world amounts in any one year to only a few thousand dollars and a stake of a thousand is a large one Amateurs who far outnumber the professionals provide the purses and meet the ex penses of the match games St Peters burg is an important chess center and there the traveling expenses of the pro fessionals are made up by the local clubs Professional chess players are rarely men of liberal education and usually men of one idea Chess has been the diversion of great and broad minded men but it is commonly the business of men devoted to one idea The profes sional chess player seems tireless in the pursuit of the game One whose duty it was to play six hours a day with all comers at a place of amusement was accustomed to follow his days work with two hours of laborious study of special chess problems Only a Stone Wall Stops Them By far the most remarkable pilgrim age ever observed among the lower an imals was that witnessed in Norway not once but several times within this century A party of fishermen upon one occa sion were encamped on the borders of a small ford and were mending their nets when they observed a number of lemmings a little animal allied to the beavers coming out of the wood that skirted the shore At first seeing the men they ran back then others ap peared and more until hundreds were upon the beach As the day passed the numbers con tinually increased until before night the camp of the men was alive with the little creatures that now began to take to the water Thousands came pouring from the woods in the ensuing days followed by hawks and other pre datory animals that feed upon them They passed on into the water swim ming over it scores being drowned dur ing the passage the rest reaching the opposite shore and moving on into the woods impelled by the strange instinct It is said that nothing deters these pilgrims but a stone wall which they cannot scale Piles of grain and fodder they have been known to tunnel through their instinct being to move ahead in a given line The fishes make remarkable pilgrim ages from one shore to another and in such vast bodies as to defy description The Modern Way Commends itself to the well formed to do pleasantly and effectually what was formerly

Great est of Provocation A great man whose wife was de eded to liiin but was subject to in sane attacks of jealousy and resent ment was once visited at bis country bouse by two old time friends He wel comed them with marked cordiality and setting himself between them on the piazza was soon deep in confiden tial conversation While he was listen ing to what they had to say and occa sionally replying to an argument which seemed to him more plausible than logical the door behind him was sud denly opened and from it emerged his wife with an angiy face and a pail of water Without a word she deliberately up set the pail and drenched him from bead to foot The two friends sprang to their feet in astonishment and caught sight of the resentful Avoma11 retreating into the house with a tri umphant air The man who had been subjected to this shower bath arose without a word went into the house and in ten min utes returned to the piazza having made a complete change of dress His friends were still in the 3ard and were wishing that they could be trans ported by balloon or by magic carpet to their own homes where they would not be witnesses of strange and embar rassing domestic scenes Their host called to them and placed the chairs again on the piazza When they were all seated he resumed the conversation with the simple remark As I was sajing my friends and then went on with the discussion pick ing up the thread where it had been dropped and making no reference to what had happened He was quiet and dignified and did not betray in bis manner a trace of the mortification and annoyance which his wifes exasperating attack must have caused A weaker man would either have ap pealed to his friends for sympathy or striven to apologize for the strange and irrational conduct of the woman He had neither accusations to make nor excuses to offer He strove to put his friends at ease by diverting their attention from the painful exhibition of his wifes infirmity by engaging them in animated conversation So successful was he that the three were soon laughing chatting and argu ing together as though nothing unpleas ant had happened When the time came for the two vis itors to drive to the station to take a train their host said good by to them at the gate with the remark that they had had a delightful afternoon to gether The great man loved his wife and knew4that she was not responsible at all times for her caprices and resent ments Unwilling to talk about ber in firmities even with old and trusted friends he acted with rare self-possession and good taste in maintaining rigid silence and leaving them to infer for themselves the reasons for his reserve Stopping a Great Ship The motion of a steamship on the At lantic when the sea is calm is so smooth and steady that the passenger hardly realizes the tremendous momen tum of the vessel under his feet A col lision even after the engines have been slowed down gives a startling revela tion of the energy of motion This ener gy can also be accurately calculated with the aid of mathematical formulas and the time and distance within which the motion can be totally arrested and the ship be brought to a stand may be ascertained in a similar manner This calculation has recently been made for several well known ships To stop the Etruria whose displacement is 9GS0 tons horse power 14321 and speed 2018 knots an hour two minutes and forty seven seconds are required and during the process of stopping the ship will forge ahead 24G4 feet which is only 17G feet less than half a mile The Uni ted States cruiser Columbia with a displacement of 7350 tons 17991 horse power and a speed of 22S knots can be stopped in two minutes and fifteen seconds and within a space of 2147 feet The little flyer Gushing also of the United States navy whose displace ment is only 105 tons and horse power 1754 while its speed is 224S knots can be stopped within a distance of 301 feet in 184 seconds In each case the vessel is supposed to be going at full speed and the stoppage is produced by re versing the action of the propelling ma chinery Painless Execution In Germany the view obtains that tne execution of criminals should be by some means more certain even than the electric chair Dr E Cuhmann a cele brated chemist suggests the use of car bolic acid According to his plan the criminal would be carried to a cell which can be filled noiselessly with car bolic acid in gaseous form from floor to ceiling When the gas reaches the delinquents mouth and nose it causes instant paralysis of the lungs and un consciousness and life departs with out previous pain Trouble in the Household And to think shrilly vociferated Mrs Absalom Joyce when the family quarrel had reached its acute stage that my wrealth

sciatic rheumatism is familiar 0 his large circle of acquaintances but for the benefit of others and those siini arly afflicted The Gazette has investigat ed the matter for publication Mr Tabor s secretary and treasurer for the Coiu nercial Printing Company with offices in die Hedge Block and resides at 417 Bas set street Burlington la A Gazette man sought an interview with Mr Tabor at his since of business to day and aitnougu lie was busily emraged with imperative duties he talked Treelv and feelingly on the subject of his recent severe sickness tnd subsequent wonderful cure Yes said Mr Tabor I can safely say that I am a well rami that is my old trouble with rheumatism has entirely dis appeared but I am still taking Pink Pills and will keep on taking them as long as 1 continue to grow stronger and healthier as I have been every day since 1 began to ise them You will not wonder at my profound faith in the merits of Dr Wil ianis Pink Pills for Pale People after you nave heard what I have to tell you About me year ago I was stricken suddenly with iciatic rheumatism and was confined to ny bed It grew worse and rapidly as iumed the form of inflammatory rheu aiatism I suffered constant and acute pains and all the tortures which that hor rible disease is capable of inflicting At length under the constant care of a local physician I was enabled to return to my work but only at intervals Severe at tacks would appear regularly in my back and descend into my leg and foot and threatened to make me a permanent crip ple I tried various remedies for rheuma tism but without any e eficial results I grew pale weak and haggard and my family and friends grew alarmed at my condition About eight week- ugo my mother in duced me to try Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and you know the result Before I had used one box I felt greatly relieved and much stroijv r I continued their use and rapidly I have now taken eight boxes and feel like a new man and completely cured all of which is due to the elficacy of Pink Pills They are invigorating anl thoroughly whole some and have helped me in every way In reply to inquiries Mr Henry the Jlruggist stated that Dr Williams Pink Pills were having a large sale that it was particularly gratifying to him to know that the customers themselves were high ly pleased with the benefits they had de rived from their use that many of them stated that the pills were the only medium that had done them any good that they not onlv gave quick relief but permanent benefit That the pills do sell and that the pills do cure is a certainty Dr Williams Pink Pills contain in a condensed form all the elements neces sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females such as suppressions irregu larities and all forms of weakness Pink Pills are sold only in boxes at 50 c a box or six boxes for 250 and may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr

the Catholic party in opposition to the Evangelical Alliance which con sisted of most of the princes of the German Protestant States The League of Public Evil 1465 was a name applied to the League of Pub lic Good because the people for whose benefit that organization was supposed to be formed were almost entirely ig nored by those in control The League of Armed Neutrality was a convention originally formed in 1780 between Russia Denmark and Sweden The States general subsequently en tered this league and it was also joined by the King of Prussia on May 8 1781 and by the Kaiser Oct 9 of the same year The League of Argos formed B C 421 was a combination of Argos Co rinth Elea Mantinea and Chalcidice against Athens It was designed to curb the power of the Athenians but its purpose was frustrated shortly after by the unexpected incident of Athens ioinimr the league Forests Influence on Water Supply The influence of forests in protecting the water supply is well illustrated in the case of Greece In ancient days she possessed 7500000 acres of forests To day she has hardly 2000000 acres and the scarcity of water and other in jurious climatic effects are traceable to the destruction of the trees SlOO Reward S100 The readers of this paper will bo pleased to learn that thero is at least one dreaded disease that science has heen ablo to cure in all its stages and that is
