Disease makes a man just as helpless
as if he were tied with ropes. Weary
lassitude makes his muscles useless —slug-
gish circulation of impure blood fills his
brain with useless clogging matter. Ef
fort is distasteful and brings scant results.
The trouble usually starts with the diges
tion. Too much brain work takes needed
blood from stomach to head and retards
the stomach’s work. The body is not
fed. The nerves rebel. Sleep becomes
a stranger. Loss of appetite is followed
by loss of flesh—and all for the want of
the right medicine at the right time. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is for
the man who is losing flesh and vitality.
It is for the man whose digestion needs
help and whose nerves and brain are
overworked. It is the greatest of all
tonics. No matter what seems to be your
trouble, the “Golden Medical Discovery”
will cure it It cures by making the
blood pure, rich and plenty, and by fur
nishing food for nerves and brain. Noth
ing has ever been found to equal it, but
dishonest druggists sometimes try to
make you believe that something more
profitable to them is “ just as good.” Do
not be deceived. Get what you ask for.
Constipation if neglected brings with it a train
of maladies that unfit the sufferer for either the
duties or pleasures of life. Sick and bilious head
aches ana a multitude of other ills are due to con
stipation. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure con
stjimlion promptly and permanently. Druggists
Sell them. Nothing else is "just the same."

their selection of a place for their

the Angelas Bird.
When traveling in the forests of Gui
ana and Paraguay, it is not uncommon
to meet with a bird whose music great
ly resembles that of an Angelas bell
when heard from a distance. The Span
iards call this singular bird a bell ring
er, though it may be still more appro
priately designated as the Angelas
bird, for, like the Angelus bell, it is
heard three times a day, moriiing, noon
and night. Its song, which defies all
description, consists of sounds like the
strokes of a bell, succeeding one an
other every two or three minutes, so
clearly and in such a resonant manner
that the listener, if a stranger, imag
ines himself to be near a chapel or a
convent, but it turns oat that the for
est is the chapel and the bell a bird.
The beauty of the Angelas bird is
equal to his talent. He is as large as a
jay and as white as snow, besides being
graceful in form and swift in motion.
But the most curious ornament of the
Angelus bird is the tuft of black, arched
feathers on its beautiful head. It is
conical in shape and about 4 inches in
length.—Guardian Angel.

FELL FROM A TRAIN
SingiTar and Almost Fatal Accidftit on
Son hern Railway.
LADY FRO Ji ATLANTA THE MOTIN
Mrs. W H. Scruigs, Wi'S of Our Form'r Min
ister to Venezuela, is Hnrt—bbb P «-
*ed Th roach Rune Sunday.
Early Sunday morning in a Pull
man sleeper, Mrs. W. L. Scruggs, of
Atlanta, who fell off a Southern rail
way train this side of Cleveland about
9 o’clock Saturday night, passed
through Rome.
Col. Scruggs who is a prominent
citizen of Atlanta, having been a con
sul to Venezuela under the Harrison
administration, with his wife and two
daughters. Misses Maud and Ruby
Scruggs, were en route home from
Tate Springs where they have been
for a month past.
About twenty miles above Cohutta,
Mrs. Scruggs, a lady of 60 years or
more, went to the ladies’ toilet of the
sleeper in which they were traveling
to wash her hands. Failing tp return
immediately, her husband went back
to look for her, but could find no trace
of his wife.
Subsequent search by Conductor
Toms and several porters revealed the
tact that she had in some way fallen
off he train, probably mistaking the
rear car door for the toilet room door.
At Cohutta Mr. Scruggs and daugh
ters left the train, and Mr. Scruggs,
taking an engine provided by the rail
road company, went back over the line
to look for this wife.
She was found nearly fifteen miles
above Cohutta, lying by the side of
the track in an almost insensible con
condition, and very badly injured.
How she came to fall off the train
seems a mystery,and Conductor Toms,
who was seen by *a reporter
doesn’t quite understand bow the lady
fell from the car. She was unable to
tells her husband on account of
her weakened and nervous con
dition.
The lady was moved to Cohutta and
Dr. Baxter, surgeon of the Southern
railroad,-at Chattanooga summoned.
After replying restoratives it was
deemed advisable to remove her to her
home at 445 Peachtree street, Atlanta.
Dr. Hunter Cooper and Dr. W. C.
Robinson were called in at once to see
her and they found that her injuries
were of the most serious nature jL Her
right thigh was broken in three pWces.
there was a deep cut over the right ktiee,
the right collar bone was broken Lnd
the left arm broken.. Besides thkse
serious fractures there are numercliis
outs and bruises over her body and sane.
The physicians are unable to say jfet
whether or not she sustained any inter
nal injuries. I
Colonel Scruggs states that while his
party were in the coach Mrs. Scruggs
left them to walk to the rear end of (the
train. She jvent through a door land
turned to another door which waa on
the side of the platform, the train be
ing vestibuled. She opened this <loor,
thinking it communicated with a toilet
room, and stepped out. fell from
the train, which was running About
fifty miles an hour. , A
It was a wonder that she was not in
stantly killed, as she must have struck
with fearful force upon the railroad
embankment. '
The many friends of Colonel Scruggs
and his family sympathize with them
and hope Mrs Scruggs will soon recoveir
from the effects of the distressing
accident. '

a grand system which will deserve the
name of university. I listened with
in I erest to the speech of Professor Well
born, of the Agricultural college of
Mississippi, especially when he met the
charge that agricultural graduates go
out into the professions. He claimed
the fallacy of the statement that their
work was lost to the farm, for the truth
is that nine-tenths of them become
country lawyers and country doctors,
all of whom, in addition to their pro
fessions, are the intelligent farmers of
their communities, extending to their
less fortunate neighbors the knowledge
which they have acquired. The same
is true of the university graduates of
Georgia who, although they go out into
medicine and law, will be recognized
all over the state as its most progres
sive farmers. Let us stop this eternal
agitation which paralyzes all effort and
turn our attention to a demand that the
state university shall at once make agri
culture what it should be—the leading
feature of its course. Knowledge of na
tare is equally necessary to lawyeis and
doctors and preachers, and to all a
course In agriculture will be remem
bered in after life as a priceless ex
perience. The university has the work
in hand and it must be held up to its
duty.’’

Pieces and Wholes.
Proprietors of stores where musical
instraments are sold say that many peo
ple seem quite unable to discriminate
between such establishments and those
in which printed music is dealt in.
As an instance it is related that a
young man came into a piano store and
asked:
“Do yon sell piano pieces here?”
“No,” answered the salesman,
“nothing but pianos whole.”
The intending purchaser ripened his
eyes in a wide and puzzled way and
went out apparently wondering whether
the salesman thought he wanted a frag
ment of a piano. Youth’s Companion
