BODIES
ARE TEMPLES
You believe that
statement. But you
only realize in part the
obligations implied by
it. Do you keep that temple
of the body clean? If not, the
defilement attaches to every
service pf the temple. Dis-
ease of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutri-
tion, affects the mind as well
as the body. The dull mind
stupified by poisonous gasses,
enters on its service without
desire, and accomplishes it
without delight. A healthy
body and a clear mind result
from the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
It removes the clogging and
poisonous impurities from the
stomach, stimulates the flow
of the juices necessary to
digestion and increases the
blood supply in quality and
quantity, The "Discovery "
is strictly a temperance medi-
cine and contains no alcohol
1. or whisky, neither opium,
cocaine, nor other narcotic.
"I had suffered from indi-
gestion and only those who
have suffered from it know
what it really is," vrrites Mrs.
M. J. Fagan, of 1613 East Genesee Street,
evacuee, N. Y. I had had severe attacks
of headache and dizziness With cold hands
and feet; everytbin I ate distressed me,
bowels were co piled and I was growing
very thin and oQefvous. 1 cannot half eat -
press the bad feelings I had when I com-
menced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden 6edical
Discovery. I took nine betties of the ' Dis-
covery.' I eoeueeaced feeling better with
the first bottle and kept on improving. Now
I am so greatly improved in health my
friends often speak of it."

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
With local applications as they cans of
reach the seat of the (bream. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in or-
der to cure it you meet take internal rem-

nally and acts directly on the blood and
mucous matinee. Hall's Catarrh Cnre is
not a quack medicine. It was presoribed

It is composed of the beet tonins known,

GRIMING TO THE NEW YEAR, The Christman Farmer's
Curious Bits of News. ,Advocate.
[Your hand, New Year, shoe we .meta, • — o
Dr. G. L. Johnson, whose Studies of •
the eyes of mammals have recently
been published, calls attention to the
fact that men and monkeys alone, pos-
sess parallel and convergent vision of
the two eyes. On the other hand, the
1oweer mammals possess divergent and
consequently very widely extended vi-
sion. Squirrels, for instance, and pro-
bably hares and rabbits as well, are
able to see an enemy approaching di-
rectly from behind without turning the
head,
It Is not surprising that more people
live to be over 100 years old In warm
climates than in the higher latitudes.
The German Empire, with 65,000,000 in-
habitants, has 778 centenarians. France,
with 40,000,000, has 213. England has
only 146, and Scotland 46. Sweden has
10, Norway 23, 'Belgium 5, Denmark 2,
Spain 401, and Switzerland none. Ser -
via, with a population of 2,250,000, has
675 people over 100 years old. It is
claimed that the' oldest living person,
one Bruno Cotrim, living in Rio de Ja-
neiro, is 150 years old.
Ever since the Forth bridge wast Op-
ened—eleven years ago—painting has
gone on continuously, according to the
"Mechanical Engineer." "Beginning at
the south end, the workmen take three
years to cover the entire length of the
bridge, and, as three years represents
approximately the life of the paint, no
sooner are they finished than the men
have to begin again. .In this way every
square inch of steel comes under ob-
servation at least once in three years.
The staff of men employed varies in
number from the maximum of 35."
In comparison with the English
tongue, foreign tongues seem parsi-
monious in some ways of expression
and wasteful in others. For instance.
it is impossible to "kick" a man in
French. You must give 'him a "blow
with the foot." The Portuguese do not
"wink" at one; they "close and open
the eyes." In the languages of the
American Indiana there is no word with
which to convey the idea of "stealing,"
perhaps because the Idea of property is
so vague. It is related of one of the
early missionaries that, In attempting
to translate the Bible int �lel>;o kin, he
could find no word toe rens "love,"
and was compelled to invent it.
The first thing that strikes a lands-
man oh a mltn-of-war is the rigid dis-
cipline observed everywhere. On some
of the ships belonging to the tropical
countries, however, discipline is very
lax. The "Defense," a Haytian man-
of-war, was lying, in the harbor of
Port au Prince. One day a meets cOok,
for some reason, cleaned about a peck
of knives and forks on the gun -deck,
and, being suddenly called away, and
not wishing to spend time to go to the..
galley, be seized the mess -pot full of
knives and forks and stuck it in the
muzzle of the ten -inch gun, putting the
tampion in after it. About an hour af-
terward the admiral came aboard, and
as the gun was loaded with blank car-
tridge, they used It to fire a salute. It
happened that the gun was aimed to-
ward the town, and almost pointblank
at the Gran d Hotel. The guests as-
sembled on the porch to witness the
ceremonies, when they . were saluted
C4vit'h a rain of knives and forks, 'which
stuck against the wooden walls like
quint; • on a porcupine. Fortunately no
one was hurt, although there were
2nany narrow escapes: -

stage that the whole -municipality has' been
