Tlie Altmayer & FJateau Liquor Company, 006,508,510, $12 Fourth Street, nerir Union Fadsenger Depot. MACON, GEORGIA Commercial Reaction. St. Louis Republic. Conditions in the commercial sphere seem to hold out a warning for greater conservatism in trans actions of ali kinds. It appears to be the general opinion of finan ciers and persons well informed that a reaction, leading up to a readjustment of values, will take j place, how soon and to wbat ex tent cannot be foretold, and that nearly all branches of industry and commerce will be more or leBs affected. Probably no one perceives real danger in prospect. However, conditions denote a tendency to ward a change of some sort, or at least toward a halt in exaggerated speculation, and there rare reasons enough to put people, and partic ularly small merchants and man ufacturers, on their guard. Ten dencies call for the exercise of more conservative methods. Speculation has sent the values of many securities far above the proper level, and the establish ment of immense combines, with fictitious capitals, has increased the cost of most of the necessities of life. Salary advances have not kept pace, in a general way, with the increase in the cost of living, and it requires no master mind to see that either the value of ar ticles of common use must des cend to a normal level, or sala ries must be advanced. It is more reasonable to suppose that values will be affected than that salaries will be changed. The level can be more easily attained by the adjustment of values of all kinds than by attempts at adjust ment of rates of compensation. Values are subject to constant fluctuation, and manipulators and financiers have learned by expert ence how to proceed in an emer gency to prevent what might be a disaster. There is no intention to create undue anxiety about conditions. But nothing can be gained by si lence concerning evident tenden cies. It is quite probable that something will be done to hold the reaction in command and compel the readjustment of values to be, gradual. Nevertheless, it appears to be a wise policy to caution conservatism far enough in advance to help those business men who do not control vast cap ital and who would not be able to acquire large funds if funds were promptly needed at a time of gen eral demand.

Twenty-five years ago Robert Ingersoll declared in a public lec ture that the Bible Avas an explod ed book; that its sales were fall ing off rapidly, and that within ten years'it would not be read any more. But since then six Bible houses have been estab lished and the sale of the Bible has been quadrupled; Thie Amer ican Bible Society alone issued 1.500.000 Bibles last year, and the British Foreign Bible Society more than 6,000,000. Other Bi ble companies show correspond ingly large outputs.. The, total number of Bibles in English alone, produced in a single year, is Upwards of 10,000,000 copies. The Oxford Press turns out 20,- 000 Bibles in a week. More than 40.000 sheets of gold are used in lettering the volumes, and the skins of 100,000 animals go into Oxford Bible covers each year. The British and Foreign Bible Society prints the Bible in 400 languages. During the first year of Ameri ca’s rule in the Phillipines, 10,700 Bibles Avere distributed there. Contrary to expectation, since the Boxer insurection in China, the issue of Bibles for China last year was 428,000 copies. The fact is, the Bible to-day is the most popular book in the world, and more copies are sold than of any hundred other books combined. A Warning Against Crossod Legs. Hs Made the First Revolver. It cannot justly be said that Joseph Shirk of Lanchester, Pa., who died the other day, contribu ted very largely to the happiness of his fellow-men, but as he Avas tlie main Avho made the first re volver, he doubtless performed a very useful service, as things go in this world.. While tho revol ver’is not a very large weapon, it has probably snuffed more per sons out of existance since it came into being, under Mr. Shirk’s hands, forty years ago, t>han many, more.formidable en gines of war. While its Rbark is not as loud as a cannon, its bite is usually just as bad, and it is a good deal handier, for burglars and other bad men to carry arouiid.—Leslie’s Weeldey. In the islands of the outer He brides, far out in the Atlantic ocean, exists a peculiar breed of four horned sheep. A specimen reoently examined by a tourist had four remarkable horns. The first pair above the eyes Avere the smaller pair. .and curved about the face in a very curious man ner. One horn just grazed the nose, while the other curled round aud underneath the chin; neither of them interfered with the ani mal’s feeding. The upper pair of horns were very long and massive. Miss Death was recently opera ted upon in Philadelphia for ap pendicitis hyDr.Dye,her day nurse being Miss Payne and her night nurse Miss Grone. Strange to say she survived and returned sound and whole to the house of her father, an undertaker. This signature is on every box ol the genuine Laxative Bromo^Qumine Tablets the remedy that cures a cold in one Avsf “Uncross your legs,” said a doctor. “Oh, col” said his son. “What’s the use of being so polite all the time?” “My boy,” the father answered, “it is not on account of a mere rule of etiquette that I tell you to uncross your -legs, but it is be cause leg-crossing is an injurious thing—a thing as baleful to the health as kissing or as microbes. M Wheu you cross your legs you fit the kneecap of the lower limb into the cavity under the knee of the upper one. In the cavity that you thus compress there are the two important exterior and inte rior popliteal nerves and a num ber of glands and blood vessels. Compression does not act well on these organs. It benumbs them and weakens and emaciates them. You feel the injury in a numbness of the Avhole leg—the leg goes to sleep. “Keep on with the habit and your legs Aveaken. They become thin. They lose their shapeliness. It is only such men and women and children as never cross their legs Avho have strong and supple and beautiful limbs.” It is encouraging to friends of public eduation to read the fol lowing from Hon. James B. Fra zier, the Democratic governor of Tennessee : “The department of the state government which comes closest to the people is that of public schools. I need not tell you that education is tho great bulwark and safeguard of a free people. I need not tell you that education and prosperity go hand in hand. I need not tell you that the richest and most valuable as set of this great and rich state is not its mines and its factories, its forests and its farms, but it is the 800,000 boys and girls of Ten nessee who are to make its future citizenship and to build fer it its wealth and its power.” —,—»-•-< Putting food into a diseased stomach is like putting money into a pocket with holes. The money is lost. All its value goes for nothing. When the stomach is diseased, with the allied organs of digestion and nutrition, the food which is put into it is large ly lost. The nutriment is not ex tracted from it. The body is weak and the blood impoverished. The pocket can he mended. The stomach can be cured. That sterling medicine for the stomach and blood, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, acts with pe culiar promptness and power on the organs of digestion and nu trition. It is a positive cure for almost all disorders of these or gans, and cures also such diseases of the heart, blood, liver and oth er organs, as have their cause in a weak or diseased condition of the Stomach.
