Bell, a highly esteem ed minister residing In Wecdsport, Cayuga Co., N. Y In a recent letter writes ns follows: "There has never been nnythlng that I have taken that has relieved the Dyspepsia from Which I have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. Since taking them I have hnd no distress nt all after eat ing and ucaln nfter long yenrs CAN SLEEP WELL. Rev. F. I. Bell.Weeds port, N, Y., formerly Idalla, Colo." Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is n, re markable remedy, not only becnuso It Is n certain cure for nil forma of Indi gestion, but because It 'seems to act 113 thoroughly In old chronic cases of Dys pepsia as well as In mild nttneks of In digestion or biliousness. A person has dyspepsia simply because the stomach Is overworked, all It wants Is a harm less, vegetable remedy to digest the food nnd thus give It the much needed rest, This Is the secret of the succcsj of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the di gestion mny be, Stuart's Dyspepbla Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy Is given not only to the stomnch but to every organ nnd nerve In the body. A trial of this sptcndld medicine will convince tho most akep tlcal that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cured. The tablets are prepared bv tho Stuart Chemical Co., of Marshall, Mich., but so popular has the remedy become that Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets can now he obtained at any drug store at W) cents per package.

Drift's, In Rochester Chronicle. IN THE YEAR 3000. An Italian Homnnccr Dips Into tho I'nturo lor n Tliouiand Years nnd Foresees Things Which Outdo the .Most Mnugulno of All Dreamers. Paolo Montegnzza. has published In Milan, Italy, a romance of the future which far surpasses In fantastic prophecy the most Imaginative (lights of tho Bellamyltes, "Year of Our Lord 3000" Is the title of the romance. Tho hero Is Paolo Fortunatl of Rome, nnd the heroine a ccrtnln Maria of the same city, which, being truly eternal, endures In pristine splendor a thousand yienrs hence. Their (experiences, are as far In advance of the wonders of "Looking Backward" as .the thirty first century might be expected to be In advance of the twenty-first. These two young persons are be trothed, and, In rne free and easy way of the emnnelpaUd society of the fit turo, go on a trip round the world to gether, without chnperone, Just lieforo their marriage. They go In nn airship three times tho length of the ordinary pleasure yacht of today. The ship is operated by electricity bo stored as to be applied for heat and power without tho help of a crew. Three buttons are the means of steering, lighting, warm ing, and propelling the craft. On the wal.'s of the cabins the necessary foods are stored, In condensed form, In little metnl receptacles, from which may be drawn nourishment to last through a trio of weeks. UNIVERSAL PEACE. Naturally, at Just this time the first of the dreams leallzed In this year of our Lord 3000 Is the dream of universal peace. The airship is guided from Rome to Spezln. where Fortunatl shows to his fiancee the scene of the worlds last naval bnttle, fought In .the middle of the twenty-first century. It was in the great general war which mnnkind had dreaded and prepared for through many previous genera tions. Almost contemporaneously with tho final land battle round Parle, .the navies of the nations met off Spszla. The two battles cost millions of lives, and so shocked the refined senses of twenty-first century civilization that civilization at once .took effective steps to abolish war. The I'nlted States of Europe rose from the ruins of tho wnr rlng people. Under Leo XX., the last of the pojies, the king of Italy abdicat ed to make way for the socialistic state, predicted ever since .the middle of the nineteenth century, and other monnrchs followed his example, until Europe was united as one land in brotherly love. The socialistic statt-i endured In Europe four generations, at the end of which it was succeeded by the United States of the Whole World. All dividing lines, such as ter ritorial and customs demarcation, were obliterated. There were no more tar iffs, there was no more "mine and thine" in national affairs; even the babsl of languages was wiped out. There was thenceforth one language, one literature, one art, one science. From Spezla the emancipated couple go to the Pyramids on the shore of the great sea of Sahara, once a desert. When the Chief Engineer of the World's Government proposed to make this desert over into a sea the peoples of Europe objected that the change would render their climate colder, but the Chief Engineer removed this ob Jtctlon by using tho south wind to melt the icebergs round the North Pole, and thus more than counteract ed the effect of the Improvement In North Africa. At the Pyramids the couple nies't the passengers Just leav ing the mall airship from Ceylon to London, exchange thirty-first century gossip, nnd then proceed on their way to Ceylon. On this island is the naylum of all persons who have Governmental hobbles which they ar- Intent on real izing. Here Fortunatl can explain to his fiancee the foolishness of the equal ity cranks, who would have all men clothed, fed nnd housed nllke. Here, too. h- can point out the horrible con ditions of the people whose monarch rules absolutely "by tho grace of God." the soi rows of those living under the system of militarism so popular for two centuries before ilie abolition of war. and the wuste-d lives of all who talk themselves to death In the effort to govern by means of parliaments or e-ongresses. This jlart of the book is after the model of "Looking Back ward." and In supposed to be n killing criticism of all nineteenth century sys tems of government, from Teheran to Washington and from St. Petersburg to Cape Town. From Ceylon the all-ship Is steered to the Adamnn Islands, now known ns the Dynamo Islands, where, as at Malta and Fernando de Noronha, there Is a central station from which power Is distributed to the rest of the eartli. The power Is derived from a material known as pandlnamo, which In turn is obtained from protoplasm. The wires radiate from this station to all quarters of the globe, and carry, be sides power, all .the news that the earth's Inhabitants In the thirty-first century care to learn of one another's doings. , TIIK WORLD'S CAPITAL. The moat Interesting station on the betrothal journey Is the capital of the world, AnilroiiollH. founded In 2301 and Inhabited by 10,000.000 persons. The site is at tho foot of the Himalayas. In this city every family, every spinster, every isolated bachelor, every widow has a separate house. Such apparent oxtraviiKnnce Is possible because In th year 3000 houses do not cost much; they are no longer built, but are mere ly cast out of n new-fancied metal pretty much ns a plaster of Paris bust Is cast nowadays. The city is built in squares; every street is seventy feet wide; ami evidently Mantegazza has in mind hero some vexatious nine teenth century restrictions on wheel ing In Italy no placo In the city Is for bidden ground for the bicyclist. In the whole capital there is neither po liceman, Judere, nor fo!d!or. The few public otllclals always at the capital have charge of the distribution of light, heat, water and power from tho cen tral stations. Prisoners nro unknown to the peoplo of tha capital. In their stead there nro a few moral reforma tories, whoso Inmates are marked, upon release, with -cloth strips on tho arm, Indicating by their color the nature of each mans offense. These strips must bo worn until tho friends of the offend ers agreo that the reformation Is com plete. Mantegazzl dwells at length also on tho laws which make compul sory tho culture of tho beautiful In trees, (lowers, sculpture and painting. Tho conseejuenre of theso laws In the year 3000 Is a paradise of llowers and statues through Androoolls. The government of the future, ns ex emplified In Andropolls, Is too easy to need much explanation. Tho "Pau crates," chosen, as aro tho representa tives of the world, for one year, lives In tho one palace left on tho faco of this earth. TIu World'B parliament meets for only one month every year, and then merely to consider tho pre vention or alleviation of such disasters ns earthquakes nnd Hoods. The execu tive careu for tho few governmental affairs of tho earth the other eleven months of the year. Tho World's cab inet hns but four secretaries of agri culture, of health, of education, and of commerce. Tho secretaries are chosen by unlversnl suffrage and are kept In oflco during good "behavior. Mante gazzn has much to say of tho pchools of the thirty-first century, but tho principal reform thnt he has In eye Is the shortening of the hours of study. Instruction Is given for but three hours a day and two days In the week nro holldnys. Dead languages are no long er tnught;)lhclr placJn the school cur riculum la taken by chemistry, electric science, and mechanics. The X-rays have been so extensively npplled In medicine that physicians nro able to see In the germ stago the whole physical and spiritual future of tho In fant. Physicians of the highest nc eiulroments nro delegated to examine newly born babes and to determine; whether the promise of crime exists In tho brain or the promise of sickness In the body. Every child having Jn It the germs of mental or physical disorder Is put to death. FUTURE MUSIC. In Andropolls the theatre Is the main means of entertainment. Tho perform ances are given In the daytlmo In order thnt nobody shall bo kept out of b?d after dark. Tho operas of a long-gono nge are given in one theatre Bellini's, Mozart's, Wagner's nnd Rossini's. At other theatres there ntv ethnographical, astronomical and electrical plays. In short, the theatre l utilized to give Instruction In every branch of science and art. An apparatus under every qeat enables the theatre-goer to Inten sify or moderate the activity of any sense and to control the uctlou of his emotions, so that he shall not lx? moved to exceslve grief or Joy by the de velopment of the plot on the stage. In the museums the betrothed are amused with examples of the weapons with which men of the nineteenth cen tury, when possessed of the Insanity of war, were wont to shoot and dig holes In one another. The weapons nre fully as fantastic as the waishlp hulks which had been seen at Spezla, where llK-y were preserved carefully under cover as reminders of tho amazing savagery of a long-ago age. The betrothed see alxo photographs of tltt- cities and towns of Mars. Venus and the moon, which have been carefully explored with the mighty telescopes of the year 3000. They see alo tho models of th ilgurcs sen moving on the planets, these models belmr formed In accord ance with tho latest results of astron omical investigation. No communica tion with the planets has been estab lished. This romance of the future closer, with a chapter telling of the visit of tlm lmtrnthed couple to the ofllce of til World's Board of health, where both are subjected to the customary exam ination of their adaptability to mnr rled llf The examination results sat isfactorily, and everybody Is happy, just as a romance of the nineteenth century. The young woman Is made supremely happy then by learning that her young man has Just lecelved tin Cosmic prize from the Academy of Mankind, sitting In Andropolls. Of the ir,0 contestants for academy prizes, but three were successful; John New ton, who discovered an Instrument capable of boring a way to the centre of the earth; Carlo Copernlc, who In vented a telescope which revealed plainly the forms and faces of the In habitants of nil the planets, nnd Paul Fortunatl, whose machine, known ns the pslcf.toplo, made possible the read ing of a person's thoughts. That Is the culmination of Mantegaz za's Imaginative look Into tho futuro 1.000 years off.
