I Not the wealth of J. Pierpont Morgan or of John D Rocke feller, but several large fortunes have been spent in bringing to a point of perfection and de veloping the product known as | “Bromonia.” P The present company, after a | long and tedious litigation, has acquired all right and title to the trademark, “Bromonla,” as sets and good will, etc. In a comparatively short time "Bromonia” will be known everywhere—even to the re motest parts of the civilized world. ^ The p'oof of the pudding is in ™ he eating. The mere state- nent that “Bromonia” is of such tremendous efficacv and so beneficial that it should be in he home of every citizen in the . vilized world is not enough , iwadays to convince the skep- - al public, deluded as it has ‘en in the past by the myriads takers and heartless charla- who have taken the pub- ' money in exchange fordan- ■JS, insidious and habit- ng drugs. The invalid in enlightened days wants evidence of sincerity on irt of the owner of a pro- ary remedy before invest* . money. We propose to see that every ilized human adult who de- ■s to try our remedav at our ense can do so without one A of cost. We are capital ized at Fout Millions of dollars, this amount being thought nec essary in order to carry out our plans. Read the following carefully: If you have consumption or some of the contagious forms of blood poisoning we cannot cure you. We don’t pretend to cure you You need the indi vidual treatment of some skilled specialist; but if you are run down in general health, if you have dyspepsia, are subject to fainting spells, a victim to in somnia, biliousness, kidney or liver trouble, catch cold easily, if your system is in that condi tion that you may become an easy prey to the disease germs of pneumonia, la grippe and the various epidemics, if you are bothered with constant head ache, loss of memory, generally impaired vitality, we can help you, and, if you follow our di rections, render you immune against sickness. Most skin disease can be cured by the use of “Bromonia.” “Bromonia” is to the human system what the scrubbing brush and soap are to the dirty washbowl. It aids Nature to resume normal action. It in creases the strength, the fight ing ability of the phagocytes of the blood; it promotes the healthy flow of the salivary and gastric secretions. If vour stom ach is in good condition, you are well. The Chinese are a wise people. They accost each other with, “How is your stom ach?” We don’t ask you to invest a cent until you have tried “Bro monia” at our expense. A sin gle bottle oftentimes works wonders.

Special sde now being held by Dr. Paul Penibton, Newnan, Ga, Common to All Spi'clci nnil EinrntUl to Their Existence. A tish just taken from the water, if handled, is found to be slippery and coated with slifne. All tlshcs, the meanest and the noblest, killitish and shark, shad, salmon and trout, wear this slime. They could not exist with out It. The slime is secreted usually In a continuous series of ducts, with numer ous openings arranged In a line extend ing along the side of the tish. Some fishes have one line on a side, some have five or six. The lines may be plainly visible, and in some cases ap pear to be a marking on the fish. More often they are not observable at all. Some fishes store tills secretion In pores distributed over the whole surface of the body, the larger number, however, in pores in lateral lines. There are also pores for the secretion of mucus, or slime, in the fish’s head. The slime is exuded through the di visions between the scales to the outer part of the body, over which it spreads, forming a sort of outer skin or cover ing. transparent and having elasticity and tenacity and often considerable body. It would not be remarkable for a fair sized fish, say a fish of two pounds weight, to have a coating of slime a thirty-second of an inch In thickness. Fishes vary greatly In the amount of slime which they secrete. The eel will suggest itself as one that Is very slimy. The- fish’s slimy coating reduces Its friction when In motion and helps to Increase its speed. It aids In protect ing the scales from injury, being of sufficient substance to serve In some measure as a cushion. The slimy covering makes the fish hard to hold and so enables it the more readily to escape from its enemies, it Is some- ; times repugnant to other fishes, which I are repelled by its odor. It Is the slime ; from the fishes handled that makes the ! angler “smell fishy," us the expression | goes. i A most important function of the fish’s slimy coating Is to protect It from the attacks of fungus, a form of plant life found in all waters, salt and fresh, including the purest. The slime covers the entire exterior surfuco of the fish, including the fins. Fungus does not uttuch to the slime, but if the fish were to bo injured so that there was upon it some spot uncovered by the slime upon that spot some minute fragment of fungus, so small us to be scurcely more thun visible, would be likely to lodge. Once lodged tho fun gus is reproduced very fast. Fish sometimes recover from at tacks of fungus, but much more often they do not. The fungus displaces the skin, intlnmmntlon is set up, and the place attacked becomes practically a sore. With Its continued growth the fungus may cover the side of the fish and extend over the gills and finally kill It. t he LAPLANDER STYLES. Vker Haven't Chnntrrd An? l.aNt Tlinuxuiid Year*. There Is one corner in the world where the fashions of the people have remained the same for the last thou sand years. The Lapp lady Is not con cerned about the latest toipie from Paris nor is she subject to that soul harrowing experience, the bargain counter crush. However, she may properly lay claim to having been the original bloomer girl, for the nether garment worn by her today is of the same design as that worn by her an cestors of a thousand years ago. The summer garment of the Lapland er is usually of coarse woolen goods and has something the cut of a shirt with a high collar. Among the sea Lapps it Is for the most part undyed. Among the other Lapps usually blue, sometimes green or brown and even black smock frocks have been seen. Pound the waistbands, along the seam In the back and on the edges this smock Is ornamented with strips of red and yellow cloth. Fntler this gar ment is a similar one. either plain or figured, worn next to the body, for the Lapp never wears linen underclothing. Tho trousers are of white woolen goods, rather narrow and reaching to tho ankles, where they are tied Inside the shoes with long slender shoestrings. Over these drawers are usually worn leggings of thin, tanned skins, reach ing from the ankles to the knees. Stockings the Lapp never wears. He tills the upper curving tip of his shoes with a sort of grass, which is gathered in summer and beaten to make It soft and pliable. The winter costume only differs from that worn in summer In that every piece Is made of reindeer skin with the hair on. The dress of the women differs very slightly from that worn by the men. The smock is somewhat longer and Is ipade without the big standing collar, instead of which a kerchief or cap Is worn about the nook. To the woven and often silver ornamented girdle hang a knife, scissors, key, needle and thread. The head covering is not only different In the two sexes, but also differs according to (he locality. INDIAN PROVERBS. The coward shoots with shut eyes. Small things talk loud to the Indian's eye. Tho paleface's arm Is longer than his word. When a fox walks lame old rabbit Jumps.

Before tho paleface canio there was no poison in the Indian's corn. TRAINING DOGS. Poodlex the P.nalrm to Teach, Onehi- III) mix (lie Most Difficult. A poodle is the easiest of all to train, and the dachshund Is the most difficult, the latter not because he Is too stupid, but because lie is too smart. A dachs hund readily understands what you want him to do, and he can do It, but he thinks lie knows a better way, and he Invariably tries his way first. As a result, he is never trained in any- ' thing that Is really difficult. A dachs hund seems to lie always linking fnn nt one and getting no little amusement out of it for himself. Collies are easily trained, but they are more or less un reliable. and they are such flatterers. They make you think things are all right and t^ien they run away at the very first opportunity. In preference to other dogs, collies are trained al most exclusively In the militia of Vi enna for carrying. In time of war, mes sages and medicine to and from the camp and the sick soldiers, but they ore chosen more for their speed than their faithfulness. Fox terriers are natural acrobats. Within a few weeks one can be trained to turn a somer sault. A few weeks more and lie will do a double turn. To teach him to do this the trainer calls (lie animal to him, and as he comes jumping playfully against the trainer he Is caught and turned quickly In the air, much to Ills surprise, lie thinks It Is play, and he comes jumping up again. After each turn lie Is given a small piece of meat. In a few weeks lie will run up and try Independently to do the turn over In the illr for the meat, and if he Is en couraged It will not lie long before be Js an accomplished acrobat. Leslie’s Weekly. ERRATIC ENGINES Lnconiot Ivcx Tlnit Act nx TIioiikI) They Were Ilcn-ltchcd. You never sis* a ship launched on a Friday, and similarly a new locomotive hardly ever makes a trial trip on that day or on the lltth of the month. Even though the superintendent may Jeer at the superstition, yet lie knows toot well to set It at naught, for Just as sailors consider that some ships are unlucky so do train hands credit certain loco motives with a sort of demoniacal pos session. It Is certainly very strange the dif ference that may lie observed between two locomotives built from the satno plans, at the same time, of similar ma terial. One goes on her way quietly and smoothly, never breaks down, costs little or nothing for repairs. Tito other cutises trouble from the very first, runs off the line, kills the drivers, gets Into accidents of all kinds and generally ucts us though possessed by s0mo evil spirit. There was a famous Instunce some years ago on the South Florida rail FIRST CARRlAdi, How n Minister Cease is Why He IsM It. The Rev. Francis Winter was a na tive of Boston and a graduate of Har vard college. He went to Bnth early in 1707 and, after preaching on probation for the orthodox church, was Invited to settle, which invitation he accepted. He was ordained in the autumn of the same year, lie went to Hath on horse back In company with Lemuel Stnn- dlsh. Mr. Winter came from Boston, ; where he had associated with such em inent men as Adams, Otis and Warren, | himself becoming an ardent patriot, taking the lead in the Revolutionary measures adopted in Hath during that memorable period. Mr. Winter married Miss Abigail Al lien In 1708. and It is through her that the Winters of today trace their an cestry back to tho -"Puritan Malden of Plymouth." Three years after the marriage of the Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden they started to visit a sister of Mrs. Winter living in Connecticut and in tended to ride all the way on horse back. but Mrs. Winter boon mo so fa tigued that Mr. Winter sold one of the horses for a carriage and harness. It was tin* first carriage that ever came Into Maine and was called a chaise. Traveling was so difficult that two lie groes were employed to accompany them with shovels and axes to clear the road. Several times the chaise had to be taken apart and lifted over fallen trees. The minister's parishioners thought that It was putting on too much style for their pastor to ride in a carriage, and In consequence Mr, Win ter sold it. This was In 1771. it was a two wheeled chaise, the body resting on leather braces, which were attached to wooden springs. Lewiston .lotirnnl. •f John Oxenford, a Once l’». ■ions l.nmlntt Clinrnetor. John Oxenford was for years the leading theatrical critic of London. Mr. Oxenford was troubled with a seri ous bronchial affection, which occa sionally disturbed the audience, for ho refused to give up his beloved theater, although desperately 111. A certain ris ing young actor was aery anxious to obtain Oxcnford's valuable opinion on Ills work, and the tender hearted old gentleman literally left his bed nnd came down to the theater on a bitter cohl night to do a good notion to a clever youngster. In the middle of one of the actor's finest scenes on came tho cough from tin* Oxenford box. It con tinued so long that It unnerved the actor, and lie came to a dead stop. To the surprise of everybody he ndvancetl to the front and said. "Ladies and gen tlemen. I am sorry to say that unless the old gentleman with the Irritating cough retires temporarily from, the theater 1 really cannot go on. 1 forget everything, it is painful so to address you, but I am powerless In the matter and place myself in your liundn." The disturbance at once ceased, and the box was empty. When the cur tain fell a friend rushed around and. breathless, said to the distressed actor: “Ho you know what you have done? Do you know who it was that you turn ed out of the box?" “I neither know nor care." was the reply. “Why, It was John Oxenford-!" The actor was paralyzed, but lie got Ills good notice all the Milan. The veteran critic went home coughing to praise the young actor who lunl turned him out. A DAZZLING EFFECT. Old line 111 nin I mil Inn Willi l.niiteriix mill I'll ml Ii*m.

The average man Is greatly pufczlod to find one dog awarded a first prize anil niiolher, which to him appears to ho quite ns fine a specimen, awarded no prize at all. A man who knows (lie relative values of the different points In all breeds of dogs Is a veritable walking encyclopedia. ticncrully speaking, the liest dog Is one which comes nearest the standard of requirements for Its own particular breed, about 25 per cent of the points being usually awarded for line head proportions,'an equal number for legs and foot, a similar number for Ixsly mid color and the rest for symmetry. In tho Dalmatian, for Instanco, thirty points are given for color und mark lugs, while head, eyes and ears have only fifteen; the bulldog, on the other hand, has forty-live for lieud nnd eurs, while coat and color amount to hut five points; the collie has twenty-five for coat, color being Immaterial, und twen ty-live for head und curs.
