There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would slow a slimy, inflemed con- Jition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treat- ment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has a time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of — the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestioa 1s secured the cataurrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Distsste, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal en fruit acids. These iablets can now be found at all drug stores uacer the name of Stuav’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not leing a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their recular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher cf 2710 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill, writes: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the liumg membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge theretrum, passing backword into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach.

C., sent from the Wil- mingtOu postoflice August “lst, 1889, reached its destination yesterday. The reader will doubtless wish to know why this package required eight years and five months to travel about 46 miies: This is the explanation: In distributing the mail the postal clerkby some mischange let the package fall behind the cnse in which the letter packages for the several post-offices on the road are deposited. There it remain- ed until the postal car was brok- ea up in the collision on the Northeastern railroad last Friday, when it “showed up" It is interesting to note that if the postal car kad been in continuous service up to the day of the accl- dent (as it probably was), and had made an average run of 175 mies per day, the missing pack- ave had travelled over 543,000 miles befora it reached Whaite- ville, distant from Wilmington 46 miles. This shows conclusive- ly that “the iongest way around is tha shortest way nome.’—Wil- mington Star. A Money Eating Horse. The Secretary of Agriculture has received the following pathet- ic communication from Bell coun- tv, Texas: “Dear Sin: L want to ask you a question. A young horse of mine eat up $30 of green back notes last night. We picked un a few hits of masticaced money today. I carelessly left my vest on the horse trough, the money on the inside pocket, hence the result. Is there any way for me to havethe money replaced? If you can’t tell me what to do will you kindly site me to seme one who can as [ need the money bad . i and have to work uard to 8upport my family. JI anxiously wait your answer.” The setretary of agriculture proposes ,o refer this matter to the committee imcharge of the bill to retire greanbacks.—Chica- go Record. There has beea introduced in the Legislature of South Carolina a bill to compel the use of broad tires On read vehicles, under pen- alty for the use of narrow tires.

There are expert road builders who declare the broad tiré a ne- cessity to good roads and who hold that even macadam road3 cannot be kent in repair except at abnormal expense, — Charlotte Observer. Discussing the lamentable cor - dition iato which public affairs in North Carolina have fallen, the Salisbury Sun says that “a re- Uniting of te people with the Democratic party is the remedy.” That is the stuff. that one sen- tence tells the whole story.—Char- lotte Obseryer. ener rnenacerepurn ten Aone eRe emma tet Col.

We have fathomed the heart of the year And we ask as onr pleasures abound If in all the glad veers we have found There was over another so dedr* 7 Was there ever such verdure before Or such fair fragrant lilies as these, With whole meadows of daisies to please, Or of fruitage so lavish a store? And we think how we watched for the spring, How we hailed the first bloom with delight, How we questioned by day and by night What the new year, the strange year, would bring. . And her heart she has shown us, and, ohl There are pleasures and treasures of worth, And she scatters them over the earth, Where the feet of her lovers may go. And we follow, like children o’erblest With more gifts than they see in their dreams, And we linger by forests and streams And drink of the fountain of rest. Oh, year that is bonny and sweet, For thy blessings so lavish we fain Would thank thee again and again And pour out our love at thy feet! —Emma A. Lente in Good Housekeeping. A Possible Undiscovered Gas. Professor William Ramsey has given to the British association his opinion that there is an element, as yet undiscovered, lying between helium and argon when arranged according to the ‘‘periodic law.” While experimenting with helium, in the attempt to purify it by re- diffusion, it was found that this gas could be separated into a heavy and alight part, with densities of 2.0 and 2.4; continuing the experiment, after as many as 180 diffusions of helium, the density of tho lightest portion remained constant at 1.98, and its refractivity to light as com- pared with air was 0.1245, The spec- trum, too, not differing from helium, one element may therefore be con- sidered as isolated as pure helium, The residue is easily altered in den- sity by rediffusion, implying a small quantity of heavy gas mixed with a large quantity of light gas. The spark spectrum revealed argon in the mixturo to the amount of 1.64 per cent by density and 1.14 per cent by refractivity, leading to the supposition that the new gas is con- tained as a very small proportion of argon. Neither helium nor argon forms compounds, so that the new element as demanded by the ‘'pe- riodic law’? must be determined by diffusion. This method, however, does not reveal the existence of such a gas, though it by no means fol- lows, Professor Ramsey holds, that there is no such gas. Wearing Glasses. The care of the eyes is perhaps one of the most imperfectly under- stood of any of our daily duties. More ills arise from their misuse than the public generally appreci- ate. Epilepsy is a frequent result of eye strain, and a careful and in- telligent observation will convince {most people that more headaches come from abuse of the ey.os than from any other cause. Probably one-sixth of the adult population of this country would be benefited by the use of glasses, at least during their working hours. They tire quickly, have headaches, the digest- ive apparatus is completely upset, thevo are pain in the back and a gen- er: | feeling of dizziness and nausea, and the true cause is never suspect- ed. The patient is bilious or nerv- ous: has indigestion or liver com- pleat. The evil is attributed to everything but the proper cause, Fit the person to good glasses and the difficulty vanishes almost as if by magic.—New York Ledger. Unknown Genius. Warren’s hall in Freeport, Me., has ‘a drop curtain which was paint- ed by an unknown tramp. Wheu the hall was. being built, a tramp applied to the proprietor for some- thing to eat, and was set to do some painting to pay for it, The owner wanted some fancy decorating done, andthe tramp was allowed to try his hand at it, and succeeded so well that his work was accepted and now remains asa testimony of the skill | of an unknown wandering genius, — Boston Herald. An Old Fashioned Remedy For Baldness, An old time but good remedy to prevent the hair from falling out is a wash made by'steeping three large onions in a quart of rum, or until the strength is drawn from the veg- etable, and applying it to the scalp every second day. The odor of the onion soon passes off, but if found disagreeble, ten drops of lavender oil and tea grains of ambergris will overcome the seent. — Woman's Home Companion.
