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. It cures 98 per cent, of all chronic,
bronchial, throat and lung affections, and
is an unfailing remedy for nervous prostra
tion. Medicine dealers sell it.

THE CITIZEN.
ABOUT WHISKERS.
The Mere Mention of Them at Time.
Set. People to
Ing.
"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.
There are two ways of frying bacon;
neither can be called "best," individual
preference deciding the matter. On? »
method is to cut the bacon very thin,
and crisp it quickly in a hissing-hot
spider; the other is tocut the slicesone

they have a half-transparent appear

BICYCLES IN JAVA.
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. V. Herald.
ONLY TWO-BARRELED CANNON.
The Odd Gun Intended for Cutting «
W ide Swntli of Death —lt
Proved n Fallnre.
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.

one day two women came to him each

stopped all this bother? And he called for
his sword and was going to cut the baby

when the one who was the mother of the
baby said: "Stop Solomon, staj* thy
hand. Let that old hag have it. If I
can't have a whole baby I don't want
any.' Then King Solomn told her to
take the baby and go home and wash its
face, for he knew it was hers. He told
the other woman to go chase herself.
