A YER'S
pals Cure
Qyspepsia
Excessive Eating.
Dr. Dio Lewis in The Journal of Hy-
giene says: "Large eaters are generally
deficient in activity and endurance. I
used to know one who was a ourioslty.
He worked in a small wood turning shop
and ate five times a day. When he con-
sulted me about his 'poor stomach,' I told
him flatly that he was a pig. He replied:
'You are mistaken. I am faint half the
time and have to eat extra meals to keep
tip my strength.' I went at him with fact
and physiology. At length he was con-
vinced and promised mo that he would
follow my prescription, which was this:
Take but two meals a day. In 15 days
his faintness had disappeared, and he rap-
idly recovered. Today he is a healthy,
active man and a warm advocate of two
meals a day, and moderate ones. Tem-
perate people with good digestion never
feel their stomachs—forget they have
stomachs—while these big eaters are al-
ways hungry, faint or bloated, troubled
with eructations, acidity, diarrhea or
lame other unhappy condition of the di-
gestive apparatus.
"For years the author had eaten three
hearty meals a day. At length upon a
careful consideration of the physiology of
digestion he thought he was probably
nsinp,too much of his force in that func-
ti n. Hs ;reduced to two meals a day. He

d bodily activity - -he -oiperienced. Men
asaargeheatie and well made bodies
etimes consume so much of their nerve
force in digestion that they have nothing
left with which to achieve those triumphs
that otherwise would be easy to them."
The Deacon's Possum Story.
"En hit come ter pass, my breddrin,"
said the old colored deacon, "dat a fine,
fat possum wuz diskivered in de tiptop
er a big pine tree, en dem whut diskivered
him said dile ter de yuther: 'Lo, now, let
us each git en ax, en cut de tree down, en
bag de possum, en take him home, en say
grace over him, en eat, en grow. fate En
behol', dey went en done ' even ez dey said
en got each man a ax, en one chop on
one side en one on de yuther. But whilst
dey wuz a-ohoppin at de tree, under de
br'ilin sun, come one dat dey knowed
mighty well, en behol', betake his hat off,
en lay his coat on de groun, en roll up his
sleeves, en spit on his two ban's, en climb
ter de top er de tree, en grab de possum,
en slide down, en Fun off wid it ter his
own house, whar his fambly wuz a-waitin
fer ter cook it. En when de two mens
whut wuz choppin on de tree see whut

Thdodtor may be a good old man, but
even so, medical examinations and the
"local -application" treatment are abhor-
rent to every modest woman. They are
embarrassing—often useless. They should
not be submitted to until everything else
has been triad. In nine oases ont of ten
there is no reason for them. In nine cases
out of ten the doctor in general practice
isn't competent to treat female diseases.
They make a branch of medicine by them-
selves. They are distinct from other ail-
ments, They can be properly understood
and treated only by one who has had years
of practice and experience in this particu-
lar line. This ie true of Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician of the invalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
a remedy for all derangements of the re-
produotive organs of women has been in
actual use for more than thirty yerre. It
cures every form of "female weakness."
CHINESE TIN SMELTING.
Primftave Methods That Are Followed by
the Slow Going Orientals.
At Taiping the tin mines oover an area
of several square miles and are worked al-
most entirely by Cantonese. They resem-
ble nothing so much as the gold washiugs
of California and New Zealand—that is,
a tin washing is a series of delphs or hol-
lows, like au ordinary English quarry,
except that there is no stone.
The sand or rubble is excavated and
conveyed to the troughs, which are plaoed
at a sufficient height to allow of the water
running freely down an incline. One man
rakes up to the topmost end the flakes of
tin, whioh resemble bite of black pencil
lead, and whioh, when disengaged from
all mud or other light clinging matter,
sink at once to the bottom of the inclined
trough.
Other laborers pick out the larger stones
from the rubble,whileaman
stationed
at the bottom of the trough pushes up the
accumulated mud from which the lead is
not yet quite separated, so that it may
pass through a second or third course of
washing. The leaden ore is then carried in
buokets to special cleansing houses and
there thoroughly washed once more.
The furnace looks like a good sized wine
cask set on end, but at a slight angle, and
eaoh one is provided with an iron pan for
a base.
This iron pan, together with a number
of cooper's hoops twined round the baked
mud, s rues as a stiffening and helps to
keep the furnace from collapsing. The
lead ore is thrown, together with the char-
coal whioh melts it, in one mass into this
barrellike furnace, when the molten metal
soon passes through the charcoal and
escapes (through a vent in the side of the
lower portion of the barrel furnace) into a
small pit dug into the ground below.
The fire is kept active by a primitive,
but very effective bellows, consisting of a
hollowed tree fitted with a wooden piston,
and connected with the furnace by a short
bamboo tube inserted into its side. The
whole apparatus costs only (at present
rates of exchange) about $12.50.
A workman rakes the slag out of the
pit, and if the market price of tin le suffi-
ciently high to make it pay to do so this
slag is passed a second time through the
furnace. The pure molten tin, freed from
the slag as it simmers in the pit, looks
like so much quicksilver. The "pigs" are
like so many large bricks with one side
rounded and the other flat, the flat side
having a broad rim or border.
The explanation of this is that blocks of
wood of precisely this shape are pressed
into the sand or mud which forms the
natural floor of the smelting houses. When
these wooden molds are removed, of course
corresponding holes remain, and into
these holes the molten lead is ladled from
the pit. It takes a whole day to cool suf-
ficiently to get firm, When it has well
set, it is lifted or dragged out of the holes
with long rakes and dashed with water.
After a little more pooling it is ready for
shipment.
At Perak in 1888 and at Maliwun in
1898 I found that four or five Chinamen
could turn out seven bundredwight of tin
pigs a day, worth in 1803 about $140 in
aa.—E. H. Parker in Chambers' Journal.
It was in a Dmharton church that
Bishop Asbury prayed at the conclu-
sion of the conference: "Lord, keep
the preachers humble 1" and all the
preachers said "Amen:" Lord, keep she
preachers hard at work," and all the'
preachers said "Atnen;" "Lord, keep
the preachers poor,"and all the preach-
ers didn't, say "Amen." That prayer
as often been alluded to at annual
etencea by bishops, elders and
ns, bat fete of them know that it
livered in Dumbarton Avenue
u ch. Very few of the preachers of
to -day would soy "Amen" to the pray-
er that they be kept poor.
CASTOR IA
For Infants and
Children.
A Moderate Ambition.
A prosperous florist in New Orleans used
to tell to his friends the following inci-
dent of personal experience, which may
contain a suggestion for other American
fathers and sons:
"My father," he said, "was a shrewd
Swiss, a mechanic. He died when my
brother and I were lads. Finding that his
health was such as to give promise only of
a few months of life, he said to us one
evening: 'I have but little money to give
you, only enough to educate you and start
you in business in a humble way. Let me
advise you to become florists or vegetable
or bee growers for this reason: I forsee
that there will be great competition in
most kinds of business in this country,
and because of this competition men work-
ing for wages will be forced to accept low
returns for their work. In the occupa-
tions I have mentioned you will not need
to employ many men, and you need • not
necessarily be employed by any one. You
can, if you are wise and not eager to get
rich, be comparatively free and un-
shackled.
" 'Another reason is that if you do
your work mainly yourselves there are
few temptations in these employments.
You are not Jikely to squabble with pears
or strawberries or potatoes, and if your
principal companions and friends are bees
and roses they will not tempt you to
drink or to gamble.'
"I have never regretted," said the man,
"that I followed his counsel and chose a
quiet, obsoure career in which there are
small profits and a reasonable degree of
independence."—Youth's Companion.. ,.
Travellers
Should always carry with
them a bottle of Dr. Fowler's
Extract of Wild Strawberry.
The ohange of food and water to which
those who travel are Abject, often pro-
duces an attack of Diarrlicea, which is as
unpleapant and discomforting as it may
be dangerous. A bottle of Dr. Fowjer's
Extract of Wild Strawberry in your grip
is a guarantee Qf. pafety. On the first in-
dication of Cramps, Colic, Diarrhoea or
Dysentery, a few dodes will biromptly
cheek further advance of these diseases.
It is an old, reli-
able remedy, with
over forty years' of
cures to its credit,
,
whose merit is re-
cognized everywhere
and one that the doo,
tors recommend in
preference to all
others.

et the imitations are highly dangerous.
Names of Warships.
Some of the many Greek and Latin
names for British warships have been
subjected by sailors to a "sea change"
which made them more modern though
less poetic. Bellerophon and Belisarius
were good enough for officers and lands-
men, but the men before the mast pre-
ferred "Billy Ruffin" and "Bully Saw
yers." Our own sailors have shown con-
siderable activity in the same line, especi-
ally as to names of Indian origin. Ad-
miral Porterwriting on this subject soon
after the civil war, said Agamenticus had
been quickly turned into "Aggy meant
to cuss."
The admiral was inclined to think our
Indian names more objectionable than
those in the classic style, but such titles
have at least the advantage of being alto-
gether national, for they are the only
strictly American names that could be
found. Indeed they are more suitable than
the classio names in every way, for it
seems more reasonable to think of a great
mass of wood and metal in connection
with a mountain like Katandin or Tacoma
than with imaginary nymphs and swains
of whom Ovid told pretty stories about
2,000 years ago. —Lippi ncott's.
The sausage.
The sausage dates back to the year 897.
It has been asserted that the Greeks in the
days of Homer manufactured sausages,
but this prehistoric mixture had nothing
in common with our modern produot.
The ancient so called sausage was com-
posed of the same materials which enter
into the make up of the boudin of the
Frenoh market and the blood pudding of
the Frenoh Canadian. The ancient sau-
sage was enveloped in the stomachs of
goats. It was not until the tenth century
that sausage made of hashed pork became
known. It was in or near the year 1500
that, thanks to the introduction into Ger-
many of cinnamoyytt and saffron, the sau-
sages of Frankfo;;'L and of Strassburg ac-
quired a universal reputation.—Brooklyn
Eagle.
Disillusion. •
"Nobody ought ever to undertake to
teach school who doesn't love children."
"Oh, but I did love children until after
I began to teach sohooll"—Chioago Trib-
une.
Many farmers in Raleigh townsh'p
are burning their straw out in the fields;.
The yield is so heavy that they want to
get it off the land. Wheat in the same
section in many cases is running 35 to
40 bushels to the acre.
Protecting Canadian Goods.
The issue of the Adelaide (South Australia)
Advertiser for June 14th,just reoeived,gives
the particulars of a trial which proves that
even in that far away country the Dr.. Wil-
liams' Medicine Co. is as a;tive in defend-
ing its rights and protecting the publio
against the schemes of subetituters and
counterfeiters as it is here at bore, in Can-
ada. In the trial in question Frank Ash-
ley and Wm. Smith were shown to have
been engaged in offering a substitute for Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, claiming that the
same as that justly celebrated medicine.
Both. men were placed under arrest on a
charge of obtaining money under false pre-
tence and conspiring to defraud the public,
and evidence was heard before the Chief
Justice of the Criminal Court. The de-
fendants' lawyer made a strong fight in
their behalf,but in spite of this the jury,af-
ter a short absence from the eourt, return-
ed a verdict of guilty in both cases. The
Chief Justice deferred sentence until the
close of the sittings. In addressing the
jury, however, the learned judge spoke very
strongly conoerning the evila or substitu-
tion and the•dangers to the victim that
may come from this nefariaus and too com-
mon practice.—Toronto Globe.
Quick Wit Saves From Failure.
The faculty of keeping one's head in an
emergency is not too common. A young
Philadelphia elocutionist has it to perfect.
tion, and it neatly saved her from an em-
barrassing situation. She was reciting
Ivttfr::sionally, and her work had called
forth wild applause. She was warm and
t i red, however, and when just a few lines
I::lir an encore number, she know that ata
t•,•rt in place her memory would fail her,
and that she would stumble and fall. Her
wits answered quickly. Before coming to
run breaking point, she suddenly stopped
and addressed her auditors. "I see by
your faces that many of you have heard
this piece before. I do not like to repeat,
so, with your permission, I will try an-
other number." Some magnanimous per-
sons answered: "No, no. Go head." But
the young lady was obdurate, and the pit's -
pie of that audience now oonsider.her the
queen of all elocutionists. "—Phlladelple1*
Not Without Guile.
They used to say of Senator Perkins of
California that he subtly flattered those
whom he desired to count among his con-
stituents by asking each man of them,
met singly,,what time it was by his watch
and setting his own timepiece according-
ly. It was an exceedingly good way of
advancing his own cause, but a young
physician here in town unblushingly con-
fesses to a piece of diplomatic duplicity
just as clever and just as successful. When-
ever practice lags, be buys a. number of
clinical thermometers and presents them
toall mothers of young children he knows.
Of course as soon as a mother begins to
take the temperatures of her children she
is bound to discover fluctuations never
dreamed of before, and as not one women
in 20 can read a clinical thermometer cor-
rectly or tell what it means when she has
read it—well, you can see for yourself that
that crafty medicine man is going to be
sunt for. The idea is a good one, but per-
sonally
ersonally I think any man who trades on
the anxiety of a mother for her babies is*
heartless villain.—Washington Post.
. TELEPHONE WIRE.
In Each Apparatus There Is Over Half a
Mile of It.
"When you say 'Hello l' to 'central' did
you know that you talk over 2,900 feet, or
one half mile, of copper wire before the
sound of your voice is transmitted from
the telephone box?" asked the superin-
tendent of the Missouri and Kansas Tele-
phone company of a reporter for The
Times recently. It is a feet that in each
telephone there is 2,900 feet of fine wire.
You see, the phone is composed of three
parts.
"First the ringing apparatus, then the
transmitter and last the ear trumpet or
receiver. In the first are two small cords
about the size of a No. 40 spool of thread
immediatelybehind the bells, each con-
taining 500 'feet, and' in the magneto or
ringing machine is another cell, contain-
ing 1,200 feet, making in all 2,200 feet.
same the part art ie a coil of the a
me size
bthe
of wire, No. 88, about size of No. 60
thread, which contains 600 fent. In the
receiver is 200 feet more, making in all
2,900 feet.
"In the telephone exchange we have
8,800 Instruments. With 2,900 feet in each
the total would make 9,570,000 feet of
very fine wire in use in the telephones of
the pity alone. Figuring 5,280 feet to the
mile, it would make slightly over 181
miles of wire as fine as a thread.
"This wire is insulated or shielded with
two thicknesses of eutrernely fine silk
thread and is an item of considerable ex-
pense, as the spools or coils are easily
burned out. There is an equal amount of
wire contained in coils back of the switch-
board at 'central' which [Hakes 862 miles,
or enough to reach from here to St. Louie,
with a good many miles to spare. "—Kan-

The Causes of Canner.
There aro few diseases that afflict the
human family that are more to be dreaded
than those of a canterous nature. The
cancer proper is a most appalling foe to
life. Whether it can be cured is and al-
ways has been a debatable question. Cases
are cited where alleged marvelous cures
have been effected, but this dons not to
any appreciable extent alter the facts in
the case that the cancer is practically in-
curable once it gats any sort of headway
in the system. The pauses of this disease
have been so imperfedtly understood that
any effort at prevention was worse than
useless. A French scientist claims to have
discovered cancer germs in wood and that
artisans who work in wood are much more
subject to this disease, all things consid-
ered, than those who handle most other
material& Having once started on this
line of research, ho found cancer germs in
wood and vegetation of various kinds.
Elm and willow trees showed a greater
proportion of these germs than other
woods. In high altitudes or where trees
are not common very few Canes germs
were found. From all of which it appears
that we may be at last on the highroad to
some reliable and conclusive knowledge
upon a subject which has baffled the skill
of medical scientists for many years.—

WELLS & RICHARDSON CO.,
DEAR Blas:—I have much pleasure in re-
commending Paine's Celery Compound for
nervousness and weakness, with which I
was sorely afflicted for a number of years,
and for which my dootor could give no re-
lief. I became very weak and had a stroke
of paralysis. I was confined to my bed,
and the doctor requested me to try a course
of your medicine as the last thing that
could be done. I did ae recommended,
and before I had finished the first bottle I
experienced a change. I am glad to say
that I.am cured through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound. I have recommended
it to others and they have been benefitted
by it; it has worked miracles for me.

A Prominent Physician.
A prominent New York physician
in discussing the merits of Ripans
Tabules with a brother M. D. said :
" Several years ago I asserted that
if one wished to become a philan-
thopist, and do a beneficent deed—
one that would help the whole hu-
man race—nothing could be better
than to procure the Roosevelt Hos-
pital prescription, which is the basis
of the Ripans Tabuks, and cause it to
be put up in the form of a ketchup
and distributed, among the poor.
Sales Increasing.
The Largest retail drug store in
America is that of Hegeman 86 Co.
on Broadway in New York City.
A reporter who went there to learn
how Ripans Tab-
ules were selling
bought a f ace cent
carton and asked:
"Do you have
much call for
these?"
He was referred
to agentleman who
proved to be the
head of the depart-
ment. He said :
" The sale of Ripans Tabules is
constant and is increasing, .due
especially to the influential character
of the testimonials in the daily press,
and growing out of these, through
the recommendation of friend to
friend. Satisfaction with them is
very general. When once they are
begun I notice that a permanent
customer for them is made. This, 1
believe, is through their intrinsic
merit, which proves the bona fide
character of the advertising. I think
them specially useful in the general
Am of stomach troubles."
An Elderly Lady.
• An elderly lady living at Fordham
Heights, a part of New York City,
and who was known to be a warm
advocate of Ripans Tabules for any
case of liver trouble or indigestion,
said to areporter who visited her for
the purpose of learning the partiou-
lars of her case : " I had always
employed a physician and did so on.
the last occasion I had for one, but
at that time obtained no beneficing•-,
results. I had never had any faith,
in patent medicines, but having seen
Ripans Tabules recommended very"'
highly in the New York Herald con
eluded to give them a trial, and
found they were just what my cage
demanded. I have never employed
a physician since, and that means sl.
saving of $2 a call.,
A dollar's worth of
Ripens Tabules
lasts me a month, ;.
and I would not be
without them now,':.
if it were my last
dollar." e,,4 At the
time of this inter
view there were
present two dqu h-
tere who specie
objected to their mother giving a
testimonial which should parade her
name in the newspapers, but to do
this the elder lady argued : '" There
may be other cases just like Mine,
and I am sure I take great plctisure
in recommending the Tabules tb any
one afflicted as I was. If the telling '
about my case in the papers enables
some other person similarly afi eoted
to be as greatly benefited as I hate
been, I see no objection." The daiiggh
tern, knowing how earnestly She felt
about the benefit she had received,
decided she WAS quite right.
