Y. 3111 D eve H TWICE AS,}- MB Disease is a great and treacherous ocean. Man ever stands upon its shore and grazes out over its calm surface without a thought of danger. It licks his feet —it advances and recedes almost playfully—but all the same it will crack his boues and eat him, and wipe the crimson foam from its jaws as if nothing had happend, as it has been doing ever since the world began. A man who carelessly saunters along the shore of the insatiate sea of disease, will some day encounter a groat storm in the form of some fatal malady and will be en gulfed. Because a man does not have to go to bed when he suffers from a trivial indi gestion. because he does not have to give up work when he gets nervous and cannot sleep at night, because he can still force down an unsatisfactory meal when he is suffering from loss of appetite, because by strong effort he can add a column of figures with aching head—is no reason that these disorders are trifling or to be neglected. Thev are the warnings of serious sickness. A man who promptly heeds them, and re torts to the right remedy, will speedily * •- cover his usual health. The man who neg lects them will find that he is in the grip of consumption, some nervous disorder, or some other dread malady, due to improper or insufficient nutrition. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best of all medicines for men and women who suf fer in this way. It restores the lost appe tite, facilitates the flow of digestive juices, invigorates the liver, purifies and enriches Vie blood and tones and builds up the n»rves.

"I have often wondered," began the Kohack philosopher, musingly, ad dressing nobody in particular in the lit | tie gang of his friends and neighbors ! congregated around the stove in the i corner grocery, "what there is particu , larly humorous about the mere word i 'whiskers.' Of course there are funny i lookin* whiskers in this life, the same ' as there are comical-appearin* cars. noses and so on, but why there should ) be anything provocative of mirth in j the word itself is beyond my compre- I hension. "I presume that one word of two j syllables has caused more laughter i than any other single word in the Eng j Jish language. You may say that th«i j wind blew through the forest, or the ! key-hole, or through anything else you j can think of, and the announcement will not produce even a grin, but if you 6ay the wind blew through his whis kers everybody laughs fit to kill. A comedian of the kind we usually have in the town hall here, who is such a hopeless failure as a fun-maker that his best efforts only serve to make his hearers yawn, can always evoke a hur ricane of mirth by workin' the word 'whiskers' into his remarks in almost any inappropriate way. "There Is no reasonable reason for this, so far as I can see; are, to my notion, rarely more humorous than a chunk of rye bread, and occasionally theyaredownright pathetic —especially when they are dyed a ghastly and dis mal black and hung on the neck of a dodderin' old fossil with one foot in the grave and the other, so to express it, reachin' out after a third wife. I once knew an old fool of this kind who— Hehl y<Ju ain't goin' home, are ye, deacon?" "Yes, I am!" was the snappish an swer, as the elderly wearer of such a beard as had just been described rose with indignant alacrity from his accus tomed seat in handy proximity to the grocer's cracker barrel and clumped wrathfully out. "Xow, I wonder what's upset D.-acon Prilliman?" innocently commented the philosopher, who had not intended his remarks to have any personal applies tion, and had failed to notice that they had done so. "Mebby his rheumatism is hectorin' him again; the deacon has been gittin' around pretty spry of late for him, though. Come to think about, they—er—heh!—do say the old feller is sorter settin' up and takin' notice around for another wife, but I don't know how true it Y. World. A LITTLE SHY, He \Vu* Afraid to l'ace the Minister So He Let lit* Intended At tend to That. Ministers who are not lacking the s<ense of humor sometimes find them selves inclined to laugh when they know that the dignity of the ministeri al office must be upheld, and they do not dare to even "crack a smile." A western minister whose piety is not of the kind that makesit impossible, for him to enjoy an amusing situation is fond of telling the following incident: He was sitting in his study one even ing when he was told that a young lady was waiting to see him in his parlor. Going downstairs he found a young lady of perhaps 25 years seated in the parlor. He had never seen her before, but she met him with unusual calmness and self-possession considering the na ture of her errand. "I wanted to see if I could get you to come around and marry me and my young man next Monday evening " she said, calmly. When arrangements for the forth coming ceremony had been perfected apd the y»ung woman had risen to go she said, coolly: "I s'pose you think it's kind o' funny that I should come, instead of him, to engage you?" "It is rather unusual for the bride elect to come on such an errand." ad mitted the minister. "Well, I'll tell you the honest truth," said the young woman,*with engaging frankness, "he did come! We come to gether, but when we got to the gate his courage fizzled clean out, an' he said he'd rather take a lickin' than come in. I asked him how in the land he ever ex pected to get through the ceremony, but he thought he could brace up for that. Be a good joke if he'd faint. He's waitin' for me outside an' if I don't rig him good about being too skeered to come in!" —Detroit Free Press. Bacon.

WherllnK I» Becoming Popular «• »» Antuaeitii-nt In tlir Dutch Orient. The übiquitous bicycle has invaded far off Java, where the coffee cornea from. Previous to tfiree years ago the silent steed was unknown in the island, but now it is estimated that from 3,000 to 4,000 machines are in use there, and the number is steadily increasing. "Wheeling," writes Sidney B. Everett, our consul at Batavia, "is confined en tirely to Europeans, half castes and Chinese, the Arabs and natives not hav ing taken it up. Elderly people do not ride, as they do at home, and women very little, as it is considered immodest to/ a girl over 15 to ride a bicycle. 1 do not, therefore, recommend tending any ladies' wheels here. "About CO per cent, of the wheels in use here are cheap, and the majority of these cheap ones are German. 1 his is due not only to the enterprise of the Germans, which has far surpassed that of any other country, but also to the fact that people here are very and penurious, and always buy the cheapest article obtainable, regardless of quality. "Of the better grade of bicycles near ly all are English. These first ;n the field. They are very heavy and clumsy, and ought to be easily supplanted by our lighter and better made machines There are distinct signs that a few peo ple are appreciating the fact that it pays to buy a good wheel, and 'f that idea spreads—ideas are slow to spread here —our manufacturers should have a great opportunity. "Strange to relate, the most fastidi ous and the most willing to pay good prices are the Chinese, who are becom ing enthusiastic bicyclists, as they are better able to stand the heat than Eu ropeans. "Although the use of the bicycle is spreading steadily all the time, the in crease is not at the rate of two years a go. The'reason for this is thai when everyone who tvanted a bicycle had bought one the demand at once ceased and has since been merely from new comers or boys growing' up. The idea of buying a new machine every year, as we do at home, is incomprehensible to people here, and the wheels they bought two or three years ago will be made to last until they drop to pieces "The wear on wheels is not very great. Long distance riding- is un known, although the roads everywhere are almost perfect. The sun, however, is hot, and the only time one can ride is for an hour in the early morning and about the same time in the evening Hiding at night, even with a lamp, is looked upon with disapproval ar.d sus picion, though it is not prohibited Consequently with care there is no rea son why a wheel should not last ten years."—X.

The old double-barreled cannon of the Mitchell Thunderbolts is now owned by the city, and is on the city hall lot. Capt. Barnett has been instructed to have the cannon mounted at the head of the park on College avenue, near the confederate monument. There is a history of unique interest that goes along with this old cannon. In the first place, it is the only double barreled cannon in the world. In the next place, it was invented with a pe culiar idea in the mind of the in ventor. K belonged to the Mitchell Thunderbolts, a company of old men organized here in 18C.'{ purely for home defense. One of the company, Mr. John Gilleland, invented this cannon, and had it cast at the Athens foundry. The idea of Mr. Gilleland was one of considerable ingenuity. A 50-foot chain with the ends attached to two cannon balls was the charge, and the idea of the inventor was that when the cannon balls came out of the muzzle of the cannon they would have a tend ency to diverge, draw the chain taut and mow down an entire company. The company took the cannon out into the country near Athens one day to test it. It was properly charged, and was touched off with great ceremony. One of the balls got a little ahead of the other, and then the mischief was to pay. It had a kind of circular motion and plowed up about a quarter of an acre of grcuud, the members of the company in the meantime scattering in all directions to keep from being hit by the flying chain. The old cannon was never used after that except at an occasional democratic jubilee, when charges of powder would be fired. About five years ago the old cannon disappeared, and not ur.tll a few days ago did our people know where it was. Last week it 'urnel up in a junkshop, but it was promptly pur chased by the city. Mr. Neumyer, who owned the cannon, had been offered SSO for it, but when he learned that it was a rare old relic and our people wanted to keep it he promptly turned down the offer and swapped it 1o the city for an old bell.—Athens ((la.) lianuer.
