NO MAN IS STRONGER j
THAN HIS STOMACH.
The stomach is the vital center of the
body It the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach |
means a weak man. There never was a |
strong man with a weak stomach. What j
is called "weak stomach " is in genera! a j
diseased condition of the stomach anil \
other organs of digestion and nutrition, |
which prevents the proper digestion of j
the food which is taken into the stom- !
ach, and so reduces the nutrition of the |
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten is !
only digested and assimilated in part it ;
only nourishes the body in part, and so j
the body is partly starved. And this j
starvation is felt in every organ of the !
body dependent on the bloou which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per- i
formed ny I)r. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. It cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but ,
which have their origin in a diseased ;
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1
" Weak " heart, lungs, kidneys and weak
ness of other organs is cured with the i
cure of the weak stomach.

Popular F.lectioii of Senators.
The legislature of Wisconsin in com
mon with that of several other states
has asked congress to submit to the
various states of the Union a constitu
tional amendment providing for the i
election of senators by popular vote. !
The present nn-thod of electing United
States senators has not worked badly
In Wisconsin, there rarely having been
a deadlock or any scandal connected
with the election of a senator, and as a ,
rule men have been chosen who en- I
j joyd the full respect and confidence '
I of their ct ni'tltueuts and who would
i have found it as easy to get a nomina- j
I tion in a popular convention as in a |
legislative caucus. In view of this the j
| action of the Wisconsin legislature in (
! recognition of a strong public senti- '
j ment in the state is all the more sig- j
| nificaut. How much stronger should
be the sentiment in favor of a change
j in the method of electing senators in
| those stales where deadlocks, factional
1 squabbles and scandals have attended
1 such elections and which have some
times left the states unrepresented in
the upper branch of the national legis
lature!
Unquestionably there is a growing
sentiment throughout the country in
favor of the election of senators by
popular vote. Within the past four
years the legislatures of the following
states have gone on record as favoring
the change: Arkansas, California, Col
orado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois,
lowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi. Mon
tana, Nebraska. Nevada, New Hamp
shire, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, I'tah,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
This lacks only three of the eonstitu- !
tional two-thirds necessary to make
the change. Doubtless other states
will fall in line with those named
above.
Two causes are working together to
create in the public mind the belief
that the present method of electing
senators should be abandoned. One of
them is the apparent increase of legis
lative snarls and tangles which leave
states unrepresented and scandals too
frequently attached to senatorial elec
tions. The other is the growing con
viction that better men will be sent to
Washington when senators are chosen
by the people at first hand and not, as
now, at second hand.
Frrnnn./« Ride.
A pretty story Is told of how John 0.
Fremont Informed bis wife of the joy
ful news of his election as senator of
California In 1850. The balloting of the
delegates took place in San Jose, and
Mrs. Fremont was at Monterey, and as
a season of heavy rains was on there
was but little prospect that her keen
desire to know the result would find
immediate gratification. Before a blaz
ing fire that night sat Fremont's wife,
her fingers for the first time fashioning
a dress for herself on the trustworthy
outlines of one that had been ripped up
for the purpose. Her little daughter
had been put to bed, and her compan
ions for the evening were the Austra
lian woman who had replaced her two
Indian servitors and her baby playing
on the bearskin rug near the fire.
Besides the voice of the woman and
an occasional chirrup from the baby
she heard nothing but the storm with
out till the door opened and a man,
, dripping with rain, stood on the thresh
old and asked in consideration of his
sorry plight if he might enter. It was
Fremont. He had torn himself away
from his idolizing followers and ridden
out Into the darkness and storm to tell
his wife, 70 miles away, that lie had
been elected to the United States sen
ate. Though it was late in the night
when he reached Monterey, he was in
' the saddle again before dawn and on
his way back to San Jose, making in
all a ride of 140 miles.—Argonaut.
Venetian Women.
Venetian women are the subject of
envy, as they refuse to be influenced by
fashion's caprices. Their costumes tire
always dark, plainly made anl neither
short nor long, and they always wear
' black stockings. The universal open air
garment for all ages and all sizes in
Venice is the black shawl, with deep
silken fringe, folded with a sii u t point
above and a low point below. Sometimes
it wraps the figure about from head to
foot. It is never fastened at the throat,
! and when it slips off it is gathered up
! with one outstretched arm. Hats are
unknown. The heelless slipper of the
eost is universally worn. In matters of
dress the women of Venice are indepetid
ent, wearing purely local clothes, but
I with feminine inconsistency they follow
the fashion of the outside world in the
. arrangement of the hair, and the coiffures
change from year to year, according to
1 the modes in vogue in Paris.

CHARLES Y. TURNER. N. A.
[Director of Color, Pan-American Exposition.]
Exposition has very appropriately been
I dedicated to our neighbors in the West
ern Hemisphere.
All the savage races have manifested !
| a great fondness for strong, crude col
i ors, and these will be found on the 1
| buildings nearest the main entrance.
| The advancement of man in intelli- '
I gence and civilization has been marked
i by a desire for more refined color com
-1 binations, and the culminating point of
; subtlety and grace of color being in the
| Electric Tower, which, repioseiiting
I the highest advance in material civili
j zation and occupying the leading posi
i tion architecturally and sculpturally of
1 the whole Exposition, naturally enough i
j has come in for the finest color notes.
It is a happy feature of the color
I scheme that the buildings upon which ,
j the artist would naturally lavish pow- j
| erful colors all lie about the southern
I entrance. A regular gradation from in
i tense to less pronounced coloring is
thus possible. As the majority of peo
-1 pie will come in from the southern en- '
| trance they will get an impression of
I bright, rich, fresh color. They will not, 1
however, have time to grow weary
I with the brilliancy. Before their eyes
1 are jaded they will have got info the
region of more softly tinted surfaces.
It must not be supposed, however,
that the primitive color schemes are in
themselves harsh or bad or crude. Ya
! rlous devices have been adopted for se
-1 curing harmony.
For one thing, the greater part of the
! exterior wall spaces are all In warm
| white. Color Is employed only at struc
' tural points in the architecture, as
i about entrances. Furthermore, no
'■ primitive color is brought into direct
I contrast with other primitive colors: a
j mass of ivory white always intervenes.
This gives great brilliancy and pre
' vents chromatic discords. The quality
| of white used on the buildings varies
| from a "warm creamy white near the
[ bridge to a cool ivory tone at the Elec
tric Tower.
As an essential means of promoting
harmony green, in at least a few notes,
is employed in the adornment of every
building of the Exposition. The beauti
ful translucent green of Niagara has
! been fitly chosen as the dominant color
! of the whole scheme. Appearing In its
fullness in the recesses of the Electric
Tower and in the restaurant group be
-1 hind, it is everywhere repeated. Not a
! building but bears its echo mark of Ni
agara green.
J The color schemes of a few of the
I buildings may be noted:
Horticulture—Orange, with details In
brilliant blue, green, rose and yellow.
Governmental—Yellow, with details
in primitive colors.
Music Hall—lied.
Machinery—Greenish gray.
Restaurant Group—lvory, accented
, with green and gold.
Electric Tower—lvory, yellow, gold
and green.
The roofs of the Exposition are for
the most part covered with red tiles,
i though prominent towers and pinnacles
will be In many cases decorated with
j green or blue green or with gold,
i All the buildings will have a play of
! colors about their entrances, balconies,
pinnacles and towers. My idea is to
j have the sharpest and freshest green
known carried throughout the entire
1 scheme, and that will be my reference
I to power. Green is one of the more re
I cent and refirwJ colors. It has not long
been used In art. Pick up any picture
painted long ago. and you will look in
j vain for a suggestion of green in it.
The grass will be represented as brown.
I They said it was impossible to seeurp
i the grass green effect, but It Is dore
1 j nowadays.
1 The color scheme has for the most
1 part been worked out at my studio in
I New York. The first step was to get
[ from the architects small sketches of
1 all the buildings. Models were made
1 from these on a scale of one-sixteenth
1 inch to the foot which when proptrlt
grouped on a platform 12 by 16 feet rep
resented the entire Exposition in minia
r ture. Each model was colored in ac
cordance with the general scheme, and
its relationship to surrounding build
lugs carefully studied. Many of them
had to be painted several times before
i suitable results were secured.
■ Once the structures of the miniature
' city were all harmonious colored,
drawings of the individual buildings
were made, and the decorations accu
rately worked out lo the last detail un
til they were in readiness to be placed
in the hands of the intelligent painter

When the time arrived to begin
' painting, it was found that the build
ings in the middle of the grounds were
the only ones on which work could be
, done, tiitd then the value of my model
was demonstrated. Mr. Washburne
was enabled to readily translate from
the model to the buildings without dan

The coloring of exposition buildings
I has been undertaken a number of

j abandoned before taking real shape.
! White has been most popular, though
I it is severe 011 the eyesight. After the
: numerous failures it required consider-
I able courage 011 the part of the Fan
-1 American Exposition builders to take
t up the color scheme. Having started
out, however, the} - are determined not
to turn back. If the color scheme
proves successful, as I have every rea
son to believe it will, it will be a novel
ty and mark a new era of Improvement
in the treatment of architecture. The
advisability of applying color to large
buildings has always been questioned,
j The matter needs a great deal of care
ami thought. All coloring is the subject j
of more or less criticism of an unfavor- ,
j able character. We will do remarka- !
bly well if we escape it at this Expo

i However, we have put our hands to |
! the plow, as it were, and we must not ;
j look behind. The time for the work is (
, limited, and all must be done during |

j push forward. After the painters have j

Meet of American Wheelmen.
At the annual meeting of the Nation
! al Assembly of the League of Ameri
| can Wheelmen held recently in Phila
! delphia the invitation of Mayor Diehl
i to hold the annual summer meet of the
I League In Buffalo was accepted unani
mously.
This action 011 the part of the gov- J
crning body of the L. A. W. meets
with the hearty approval of the entire
membership of that organization.
For this reason the biggest meet in
the history of the League will be that
held In Buffalo during the week com
mencing Aug. 12.
Aside from the attractions of the L.
A W. meet there are many induce
ments which will cause cyclists to visit
Buffalo at that time, among others the
central location of the city, within easy
touring distance of all the principal
cities of the Eastern and Middle
States and Canada, the cheap railroad
fares, the desire 011 the part of all
wheelmen to visit the Pan-American
Exposition and Niagara Falls and the
fact that a week of International cycle
racing is to be given 011 the specially
constructed quarter mile track in the
magnificent Stadium on the Exposition
grounds.
It Is believed that there will be not
less than 10,000 visiting wheelmen in
Buffalo during the week of the meet.

Since the troubles between China and
the other nations began the boys and
girls of America have learned much
about the children of the great empire of
the yellow men of Asia. Few, however,
it is probable, have.solved the question of
Chinese names—a puzzle that confronts
every city boy or girl every time he or
she goes by the Chinese laundry on the
way to school. But to the Chinese boy
or girl it is doubtless all simple enough.
Take the name of Li Hung Chang, for
instance —the best known Chinaman liv
ing today. Any Chftiese boy or girl wolild
say it was easy enough. Li is his family
name and means plum. The only differ
ence between Li Hung Chang's name
and the name of Mr. I'luni, who may live
iu your town, is that the great I'hiuese
diplomat "puts his hist name tirst ' and
Mr. Plum of America "puts it last,"
where you should say any man's last
name ought to be.
The American boy or girl does pretty
well these days if he or she is given more
than three names, as Mary Ellen Jones
or Charles William Brown. Some of
them are presented with only, two, while
once in awhile some of us are given
four. But the Chinaman has any num
ber before he grows up. As a baby he
receives his "milk" name. Then when
he enters school his "school ' name, and
when he is grown his title or "life
name.—Chicago Record.

Jerusalem, or "the inheritance of peace."

MELCHISEDEC.
All that we know of Melchisedec is
that he was "a priest of the most high
God." He is the only gentile king men
tioned in the Bible who was not an idol
ater. This is strange, as the only peo
ple of whom we know as inhabiting Jeru
salem, before the Israelites captured it.
were Jebusites, a tribe of Canaauites,
worshipers of idols, from whom the city
was called .leliiis. Those over whom Mel
chisedec ruled must have'belonged to an
earlier race whose history is lost.
St. Paul writes in the epistle to the
Hebrews that Melchisedec was without
father and without mother, aud this led
some men of the old time to believe that
he was a celestial being—superior to the
angels and much more than a mere ruler
of men in the ancient'east.—Chatterbox.
An Allvertinlnjt Scheme.
Several old acquaintances of'the late
D. H. McAlpin, the tobacco manufac
turer, were discussing his business suc
cess in an up town club, rtnd one of
them told the following story as illus
trating the farreaching effect of com
paratively insignificant things some
times.
"It was after Mr. McAlpin was well
started in the tobacco business," he
said, "that an enterprising rival began
to cut. into his business by advertising
that he placed a dime in every tenth
package of tobacco put up in his fac
tory. One day a foreman of the pack
ing room went to Mr. McAlpin and
said:
" 'I have a suggestion to make that
promises to knock out this dime in ev
ery tenth package scheme of your rival.
Will you hear it?'
" 'Yes; go ahead.'
" 'Well, then, just put a dime in ev
ery package of tobacco put up in our
shop and don't advertise it. It will ad
vertise itself quickly enough.'
"Mr. McAlpin saw that the sugges
tion was good, and he accepted it. It
cost him a good deal of money, but its
success warranted it. Within a few
weeks farmers were buying McAlpin
tobacco, knowing that they would find
money in each package, and if they
had found diamonds it would not have
surprised tliein."—New York Sun.

THE INDIANS PAID.
What (he White Men Charged Tliein |
For Killinu One llunkt'y.
lii "Iteminiseences of Old Times In
Tennessee" a story is tolil of tho good
faith ami honor of a party of Chicka
saw Indians. While liunling onu fall
they shot a donkey, mistaking the
creature for a wild animal. They sold
the hide, and it finally came to the
hands of John Barnes in Lipton.
When the Chickasaw 112! returned to
the region of Lipton for their annual
hunt the next fall, Barnes invited them
to a shooting match, the prize to be
the skin of a very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con- !
test, and one of them won the prize.
When he saw the skin, lie turned it 1
over and said: "Ha, ha, nie kill him! j
Me shoot him! See!" And he pointed ;
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed a donkey, a very useful animal,
but lie was sure that they had done
It by mistake, believing it to be a wild j
animal.
The Indians listened attentively to
tiie white man's words and then con
sulted together a few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to his
pony, unhitching liini and leading him
to the spot where a gang of white men
stood, Barnes in the midst of them.
Then one of the Indians spoke:
"We sorry we kill donkey. We think
he belong to the woods. We find him
in cane. We think him wild. We
sorry; now we pay. We take no white
man's hoss, pony, nothing of white
man. We honest. We have ponies,
that's all. Take pay." And lie mo
tioned to the long line of ponies, held
by their owners.
"How many?'' asked Barnes.
"White man say," returned the In
dian, "take plenty."
The honor of the red men was not
equaled by the white men. for. be it
recorded to their shame, they took
from the Cliickasaws •'!•"> ponies to pay
for the accidental killing of one don
key.
II» ..nlilnc I'p the Mess.
Lasting friendships are formed in the
officers' mess abroad ship in our navy,
but no effort is made to keep track of
a mate when he is transferred. This
strikes the landsman as a queer freak
of nature, but the sailors accept it as
a matter of course never to be ques
tioned. Men get into pretty close com
munion witty each other when they
breakfast, dine and sup together for
three years. As a rule, they learn each
other's history to the minutest detail,
unless a man chooses to be disagree
able and distant. Close attachments
grow up, yet when the inexorable or
der arrives from Washington, sending
the mess to the four winds of heaven,
breaking up. as it were, tlie family, a
warm hand shake ends it all. Each of
licer goes into a new mess, and the old
is forgotten.
It was my good fortune to be intro
duced to as fine a mess as ever broke
bread together on a man-of-war. The
devotion of the officers to one another
was an inspiration. Finally the sepa
ration came. One went to some navy
yard, another to the Philippines, an
other to China, another to Washing
ton, etc. They were scattered all over
the world. One day, meeting the lieu
tenant commander, who had gone up
for promotion, I inquired when he had
heard from Lieutenant So-and-so.
"Why, not in several months," he re
plied. "In fact, not since he was or
dered to his new station. You know
we fellows don't follow each other's
movements after a mess is broken lip.
We form new associations, new
friends, and the old drop out of sight.
We never think of writing to each oth
er. It is more than likely we shall nev
er see each other again as long as we
live, and we haven't the time or in
clination to worry over each other's
fate."—New York Press.
Yonr Canary.
Don't forget to give your canary the
best of water and seed every day. See
that he lias a good lisb bone. Clean
his cage every day. Keep him out of
the hot sun and the glare of night
lights and yet let him have sunshine.
Talk to him; talk to him with a kind
voice. Let him out of the cage occa
sionally. We give crumbs of bread
soaked in mil!;. lettuce, chickweed, a
little piece of egg. sometimes a little
fruit, a nut and lets of good things and
let liini eat or reject as he pleases.
