A Most Valuable Agent
The glycerine employed in Dr. Pierce’*
medicines greatly enhances the medicinal
properties which it extracts from native
medicinal roots and holds in solution
much better than alcohol would. It also
possesses medicinal properties of its own,
being a valuable domulcont, nutritive,
antiseptic and antiferment. It adds
igreatly to the efficacy of the lllack Cherry-
bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone
root and Queen’s root, contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery” in subduing
chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, for all of which
these agents aro recommended by stand
ard medical authorities.

Fata of Dubois, Who Dupod Louia XIII.
and Richelieu.
There have been many alchemists
who claimed to be able to make gold
from the baser metals. A strange
adventure in this connection was
that in which the dupes were per
sons of no less importance than
Louis XIII., king of France and
Navarre, the Cardinal Minister
Richelieu and Francois du Trem
blay, Father Joseph, called “the
gray eminence.” This was in the
seventeenth century. The “alchem
ist’s name was Dubois. He was an
ex-Capucin monk, a contemporary
of Father Joseph, and he informed
the latter he had the secret of man
ufacturing gold. At that particular
moment the cardinal was short of
funds for his own persbnal use as
well as that of the king. Father
Joseph induced the cardinal to be
lieve that Providence had sent a
man, a maker of gold, to help him.
The cardinal, who as a rule was
pretty wide awake, was on this occa
sion blinded by his necessities. Ho
consented that Dubois should be al
lowed to experiment in the pres
ence of the king and queen ana the
assembled courtiers.
In his record, “Tableau de Paris,”
Mercicr gives the sequel to the
story. A royal carriage was dispatch
ed to fetch Dubois, his powders and
his furnace and bring them to the
Louvre, where in one of tho gal
leries the highly interested wit
nesses were awaiting results. Du
bois lighted the furnace and in a
loud voice said, “May it please his
majesty to command his soldiers to
f ive me twelve musket bullets and
will turn them into gold.” The
bullets were handed over to a court
ier, who cast them into a cupel.
Dubois added a few grains of a cer
tain powder, covered the whole with
cinders and placed it over the light
ed furnace. In an anxious half
hour’s time Dubois exclaimed, “The
gold is made!” Louis XIII. per
mitted no one but himself to blow
away the burning hot cinders. But
he blew so hard that the onlookers
were smothered with them. Every
one cast a look at the bottom of the
cupel and exclaimed, “There is
gold!”
Every one was joyfully astonish
ed. The king embraced Dubois and
knighted him offhand, and the court
ier who handed over the bullets
was rewarded with a gift. On the
suggestion of the queen the gold
was assayed. A goldsmith was sent
for, who declared that it was
18 carat gold, the mint standard
of the coin in circulation. But no
one was much impressed by that ac-
cusable fact. Dubois was at once
commanded to supply 800,00U
livres’ ($160,000) worth of gold
every week, which he undertook to
produce as soon as an adequate in
stallation had been erected. He ob
tained the funds required for the
purpose, but delayed, with vain ex
cuses, its realization. The cardinal
lost patience, grew angry and final
ly had the monk incarcerated in the
Chauteau of 'Vincennes. He was
convicted as an associate of the
criminal “Union de Saint-Sulpice.”
On July 25, 1637, Dubois was hang
ed.—Chicago News.
The Mediterranean.
The evaporation from the surface
of the Mediterranean is much great
er than in the Atlantic ocean, owing
to the heat coming from the African
deserts and the shelter which the
high mountains afford from the
north winds. It is in consequence
of this fact that its waters are salter
than those of the Atlantic. It is a
mistake to suppose that the Mediter
ranean is tideless. In the Adriatic
as well as between that sea and the
coast of Africa the tide rises from
five to seven feet.
They War* Mad* by th. Ancient Ra
mans and Egyptians.
It is not exactly known when and
where artificial eyes first came into
use. But this much is certain, that
in ancient times Egyptian and Ro-
fnan priests, who practiced medicine
and surgery, could make artificial
eyes as well as artificial hands, arms
and legs. In Egypt they knew this
art as early as 500 B. C.
The method of these eye manu
facturers was very simple. In the
midst of a flesh colored piece of
cloth, one and one-half to two and
one-quarter inches in size, a piece of
clay of tho natural size of the hu
man eye was attached and so paint
ed over as to represent tho eye and
its lid. This piece of cloth was fix
ed over the socket of the closed eye
by means of an adhesive substance.
However primitive these eyes, they
were highly valued and were worn
by the Egyptians and Romans. An
eye of this kind was found in the
ruins of Pompeii.
Tho first known mention of mod
ern artificial eyes—i. e., eyes worn
within tho socket—is contained in
a rare illustrated work published by
the French surgeon Pare in 1561.
Pare invented throe kinds of artifi
cial eyes. The first consisted of a
thin metal band placed around the
head of the wearer. One end was
provided with a small oval plate
covering the socket, tho other end
being fastened to the back of tho
head. The plate was covered with
soft, smooth leather, on which an
eye was painted. Parc’s second in
vention consisted of an enameled
hollow golden ball in the shnpe of
an eye worn within the socket. Tho
third was an eye in shape like that
worn today, but made of gold and
enamel. These eyes were, of course,
very costly, and only the wealthy
could afford to avail themselves of
them.
Later eye* were made of porce
lain, which, on account of their
cheapness, soon became very popu
lar. Glass eyes were invented in
1579. Already in Shakespeare’s
time they were the finest products
of primitive manual skill. Still,
compared to them, the glass eyes of
today, though manufactured by me
chanical means, are veritable works
of art.—New York Tribune.

“Did you ever see anything like
that ?” exclaimed a woman standing
by the lacc counter in a department
storo when she watched a mother
pick up a young, wide awake baby,
I which was done up like a bundle
| and which lay with purchases upon
j the counter. Only its little head
stuck out, and no ono would have
imagined the roll was alive until
! one beheld the funny little face,
| puckered up and framed in woolen
wrappings. As tho mother walked
away she carried her spoils thus:
| Baby on the left arm; shopping bag,
| filled, in the left hand; several bun-
1 dies in the crook of her right el-
! bow; a long hut thin poeketbook in
; two fingers of the right hand. And
such is woman. She seemed happy.

A Fair Offer.
A Scottish preacher, who found
his congregation going to sleep one
Sunday before he had fairly begun,
suddenly stopped and exclaimed 1 :
“Brethren, it’s nae fair. Gie a

alang, and then, if I’m nae worth
listening to, gang to sleep, but dinna
gang before I get commenced. Gie

Must Ba Conaistent.
In one of the police courts tho
other day there appeared before the
magistrate a certain old Irishwo
man who has been a continual of
fender for years, her besetting sin
being the flowing bowl. The court
failed to treat her as an old ac
quaintance until she calmly an
nounced her age at thirty; then he
stopped her.
“See here, Mary,” he said, “you’ve
been coming here for ten years, and
all that time you have given your
age as thirty years. I won’t stand
it any longer. Why do you do it?”
“Sure, your honor,” was the quick
reply, “I wouldn’t be after telling
you one story at one time and an
other next time. ’Twouldn’t sound
right.”—New York Globe.
Origin of tho Doily.
From the name of Robert D’Oy-
ley originated the word doily. A
grant of land was given to him in
the reign of William of Normandy
on condition that he should give
yearly a tablecloth of at least 3
shillings value at the feast of St.
Michael. According to the custom
of tho times, the women of his fami
ly were skillful with the needle and
felt great pride in embroidering
their “quit rent tablecloths.” In
time these cloths came to be valua
ble and were used as napkins at the
royal table. They were called
“lYOyleys.”
Tha Odor of Sanctity.
When in days gone by one honor
ed in the church died it was cus
tomary to burn sweet smelling in
cense in the death room as a token
that the memory of the dee
was grateful to God and man.
early as the time of Homer it was
customary to wash the bodies of the
more illustrious dead with rosewa
ter, and in Egypt the practice also
obtained from an early date; hence
the expression “the odor of sancti
ty-” » .

Going Fishing Aren’t You ?
Yes you are. Any old fisherman can tell you have heard the of
the Whip-po-will, the mourn of the Whang Doodle and the lazy droning
of t ihe woodland flies and that the “fishy” feeling in your left side urges
yen to accept their invitation to join the innumeral fishing throng for a
day or weeks stay on the creek or river banks. We too have a fishing
fever in the most malignant form but can only indulge our inclination to (
go in dreams for we are to busy planning for others, to fish ourselves, so
work it off in the pleasant task of buying for you the fisherman’s luxu- ML
ries and necessities When you can no longer withstand the prompting
of the fish in you, which has been a part of every man since that prince
of fishermen, Isaac Walton, first went fishing with a bent pin he begged
from his mother, to the present day, come to us and let us fit you out
with tackle small enoght to catch that little “silversibe” the size of a ten
penny nail, and large enough to hold that “great big one” you got to the
“top of the water” last year before “your hook broke.”
Lhould you find a hold that contrins turtles galore you will need
a .22 calibre, single or repeating rifle, to kill “bait’’ with, and, by-the*way
it will do capitally to kill those big fish you “just can get to the top of the
water.
Summing the whole thing up, we have everything for the fisher
man except the “snake-bite medicine. Our fever abates before we get
suake bii.
