IT 13 A POOR RULE.
BUT THERE ARE OCCASIONS ON
WHICH IT WILL NOT WORK.
BOTH WAYS.
I would like to see some mus
lins," said the big, overbearing wom
an as she got the attention of a clerk
in the dry goods store.
" The clerk looked at her critically
for a minute and then said :
" One dollar, please 1"
"One dollar!" she exclaimed.
M For what ? I don't know jet
whether you have anything I want."
"IVnow you don't." he replied.
"You see, you pay the dollar for the
privilege of finding out."
w I'll do nothing of the kind," she
said indignantly. " It's a most un
heard of proceeding."
" Not at all," he returned. "You
run an intelligence office, don't you ?"
"Well, what if I do?"
" Do you remember when I came
to you to get a girl Y'
" No."
" Well, I do. And you charged
me a dollar for the privilege of finding
out whether I could get one or not."
" That is the established way of "
"Same thing here. One dollar,
please."
" But the rule would not work both
ways. Chicago J'ovt.
Evils of Salt Eating.
The us? of salt is responsible for
the appetite for acid fruits and con
serves instead of bland and sweet
articles. A result of this salt created,
artificial appetite (so universal in this
country) has been the discontinuance
oi the raising of sweet fruits. As an
example of nature's process of en
veloping particles of poisonous and
effete matter in mucus in order to
protect herself against injury, the
phlegm coughed up, if not immediate
ly ejected, tends to cause nausea.

One's physical feelings, like the faithful
setter, search and point out plainly the
tact of disease or health.
Tf a man is not feeling well and vigorous
if he is losing flesh and vitality, if he is
listless, nervous, sleepless, he certainly is
not well. The down hill road from health
to sickness is smooth and declines rapidly.
At the first intimation of disease, the
wise man takes a pure, simple vegetable
tonic. It puts his digestion into good ac
tive order and that puts the rest of his
body in order. The medicine that will do
this is a medicine that is good to take in
any trouble of the blood, the digestion, or
the respiration,' no matter how serious it
may have become.
I he medicine to take (a Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is a remark
able remedy. It cures diseases in a per
fectly natural way, without the use of
strong drugs. It cures by helping Nature.
It has a peculiar tonic effect on the lining
membrnnes of the stomach and bowels.
Iiy putting these membranes into healthy
condition, stimulating the secretion of the
various digestive juices and furnishing to
the blood the proper purifying properties,
it reaches out over the whole body and
drives disease-germs before it into the
usual excretory channels. It builds up
firm muscular flesh, makes the skin and
the eyes bright.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
1ms been found wonderfully efficacious in
the treatment of skin diseases eczema,
tetter, erysipelas, ualt-rhcum from com
mon pimples or blotches to the worst cos
of scrofula.

BEADING RUMORS DENIED.
THE VANDERIIII.TS DKNY THAT THEY
HAVE BOUGHT CONTROL OF THE
READING.
Reading, May 19. No credence
was given in this city Saturday to the
New York rumors of a big anthracite
coal combination, with the v aiuler
bills in control of Reading. One of
the receivers of the company said of
the matter; "Its nothing but the
same old tale, and I'm surprised the
public placed any credence in it.
The time for such a move is far dis
tant, and furthermore, as matters
stand, it will be some time before
Reading can be reorganized on a per
manent basis."
A member of the firm of J. P. Mor
gan & Co. said : " It is not the cus
tom of the firm to affirm or deny
Wall street rumors. If it were we
would have no time to do anything
else. Similar reports have been afloat
in Wall street for several weeks past.
There has, however, been no truth
in anything that has been published."
New York, May 10. When Cor
nelius Vanderbilt was shown the
story of the reported gigantic coal
deal he authorized a positive denial
" that the control of the Reading
Railroad has been obtained in the
Vanderbilt interest." Mr. Vanderbilt
added, in his denial, that neither he
nor his brothers are in in any way
connected with the purchase or con
trol of Reading.
A Great Offer.

umns each issue. It gives the news
fully half a week ahead of any weekly
paper, and, at the same time, retains

and other features which made the
Weekly World so popular. Yet the
price is only $1.00 a year. For sam
ple copies address The World, N. Y.
Arrangements have been made by

Parent " Why do you advise
against my boy Willie using a slate
and pencil in school ?"
Dabster in Science " Because they
are covered with deadly microbes that
would undoubtedly kill your boy if he
lived long enough."
Parent (much impressed) "Then
I suppose I had better get him a paper
pad to do his sums on ?"
Dabster in Science 41 My dear sir,
do you want to commit deliberate
murder? There are millions of bacilli
in every page of paper made."
Parent (anxiously) " Well, how
will he do his sums then ? In his
mind ?"
Dabster in Scijnce " Worse vet.
It has been found that abstract intro
spective thought over imaginary pro
blems stimulates the growth of lethal
bacteria in the brain cells. If you
want your Willie to live, you had
better keep him in a room sprayed
with antiseptic vapor." New York

Care of Garden Tools.
Don't leave any garden tools out over
winter. Collect them all and store in
a shed or barn; and take care of the
