. Ironic Dyspepsia Gored. A FTER suffering for nearly thirty years from dyspepsia, Mrs. H. E. Dugdale, wife of a prominent business man of Warsaw, N. Y., writes: “For 28 years. I was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia and a weak stomach, 'T'he lightest food produced distress, causing severe pain and the forma tion of gas. No matter how careful of my diet I suffered agonizing pain after eating. I was treated by many physicians and tried numerous remedies without permanent help. Two years ago I began taking Dr. Miles* jjerve and Liver Pills and Nervine. Within a week I commenced improving^ and per sisting in the treatment I was soon able to ea t what I liked, with no evil effects I keep them at hand and a single dose dispels tn y old symptoms.** Dr. Miles’ Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded.

Man] 7 of these wraps are made of army blue cloth, and the fronts are fastened with medium sized gilt buttons. The deep cape is fastened by and trimmed with stitched straps of the cloth and is alone a sufficient wrap for many occasions. Checked and striped cloths, lightly and roughly woven and others of dark color and finer grain, said to be absolutely waterproof, are made in redingote style, much after the fashion of coachmen’s coats, with and without shoulder capes, and tfill he used for traveling and morning walks. Queer Beliefs About Seven. So numerous are the queer beliefs concerning the number seven that a narration of them all would fill a volume, but we may mention a few of them, says the Washington Star. From the very earliest ages the seven great planets were known and ruled this world and the dwellers in it, and their number entered into every conceivable matter that concerned man. There are seven days in the week, “seven holes in the head for the master stars are seven,” seven ages both f.or man and the world in which he lives. There were seven material heavens, and in the underworld described by Dante, the great pagan dead who were not good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell,reposed in a seven gated city. T1k re are seven colors in the spectrum and seven notes in the diatonic octave and the ‘‘leading” note of the scale in the seventh. Be it noted that the seventh son is not always gifted with beneficient powers. In Portugal he is believed to be subject to the powers of darkness and to be compelled every Saturday evening to assume the likeness of an ass. Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine has since 1840 steadily risen in public favor, and the demand for it far ex ceeds that of any other Liver Medicine. A woman who died in one o£ tl e charitable institutions of Toledo, O., was turned over unclaimed to the Toledo Medical College. An examination showed that the stomach contained almost a quart of hairpins, needles brass pins, safety pins, pumpkin and melon seeds, small nails and other in digestible matter. At least 500 hairpins at right angles, the same number of brass pins, and almost as many needles, pieces of glass from one to two and half inches in length, a ring set wdth a tine stone, and other articles were found. A hole three inches wide had been eaten through the walls of the stomach, through irritation aud inflammation. The intestines were fairly riddled.

The gold product of the world for 1899 is estimated at two hun dred and thirty-seven million dol lars by the director of the Mint. It is believed that when the re turns are all in for 1898 the ag gregate will show up much larger. 'She returns from South Africa for the first ton months of the year indicate that the product for 1898 will exceed that of 1897 by twen ty-one million dollars. It is es timated that the product of Aus tralia will exceed that of last year by about ten million dollars. Perhaps three huLdred million dollars is not an extravagant es timate for the entire output of the world this year. The punishment for cruelty de pends to some extent upon local ity. In New Orleans a man who had beaten his mule was fined $25. In Boston a man who had beaten his wife was let off with a fine of $10. Death of Gen. Calixto Garcia. General Calixto Garcia, who next to Gomez has been lhecentr.il figure in the struggle for Cuban independence, died yesterday in Washington after a short struggle with pneumonia. The death oi this gallanDsoldit r and devoted patriot at this tin e is inexpressibly sad. After a strug gle of a life time, in which he had suffered hardships and privations such as fall to the lot of few men, for the sake of his beloved coun try, and had been wounded nigh unto death more than once, the object of his life’s work, Cuba Libre, was practically accom plished. His mission to Washington was to represent his comrades in arms and to consult with the American government, through whom the liberation of his country from the cruel domination of Spain had come, as to the future of the island. Like Moses of old, he ascended to Pisgah’s top and was permitted to see the promised land, and like Israel’s great law-giver, he was not permitted to enjoy the land “flow ing with milk and honey.” General Garcia will go into his tory with those other heroic char acters who have given the best that was in them for the cause* of lib erty. He was a master of the style of warfare which prevailed in Cuba during the ten years’ war and the later struggle. He was a thorn in the side of the Spaniard and had rightfully earned the high place he held in the regards of his countrymen. With the exception of the some what excusable outbreak which followed his curt treatment by General Shatter after the fall of Santiago, he has been a consistent friend and admirer of the United States, and it is not impossible that his death may somewhat com plicate the pacification of Cuba and retard the ultimate settlement of the Cuban question. He was the leader of the conservative ele ment among the fighting Cubans and dominated the recent congress which appointed him and bis con freres to confer with the Washing ton government as to the future of Cuba. Those whom he repre sented recognized the necessity for an American occupation of the island for the present and until a representative, effective native government could be established, and they favored an earnesfc,-com plete co-operation with the Amer icans to bring about this result at the earliest possible moment. Now that his restraining influ ence has beeur removed, it is not impossible that the Cuban irrecon- cilables may gain the upper hanc and bring about a condition which will necessitate an indefinite pro longation of the American occu pation. Not only therefore is there an element of sadness in Genera' Garcia’s death because the gallant old man is deprived of seeing in the flesh in the realization of bis dreams, but there is also an ele ment of real danger for Cuba and of serious trouble for the United States.—Macon Telegraph. mm Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy frequently cures several members of a family.

A woman never laughs at love until she is afraid of it. The man who drives a furniture wagon is usually in the van. It’s a wise son who doesn’t neg- ect the education of his parents. An old bachelor says a woman’s iongue is an organ without stops. Woman’s work is never done— unless she gets some other woman to do it, It is easy to convince the plain women that handsome is as hand some does. No man ever allows his whiskers l;c grow long enough to conceal 9 diamond pin. It’s only when a man dies that every one of his good qualities come to the surface. A Charleston man in old age died some time ago, and it was said of him that he had never seen a full lenth stationary bftth tub. A Boston man beats this record. He died a few days ago after hav ing been doorkeeper of a theatre in the city for thirty three years and had never seen a play. And he was not blind, either. In New York some weeks age a woman, lacking a 2-cenfc stamp, and being in a hurry, placed a 5 cent stamp on a letter plainly ad dressed to her son twenty miles away. Because the letter carried a 5 cent stamp tTie postal clerk tossed it into a London mail bag, jumping to the conclusion from the stamp, that it was a foreign etter. The letter was gone some wo weeks, and traveled 7,000 miles to reach its proper des tination, twenty miles from its starting point. The woman is now wondering if it would not lave gone around the world if she lad piaced a 10 cent stamp on it. A man expects other men to show his wife courtesies abroad that he never thinks of -showing her at home. An authority states that a ton of diamonds is worth $35,000,000. Remember this—and dont pay a cent more. Pains m Head, Neck, Shoulders, Back, Front, Sides, Hips and Limbs are readily cured by Simmons Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets.
