A Little Sarcastic. * Tear? ago an old sailor, who lWc< . .hurt distance from Snug Harbor on Staten Island, possessed, among the nu U.u» pets be bad collected on ns voyage. ’ - rot , of which he was exceedingly fond The parrot, however, had a nasty temper, and would suffer n. one to approach it ex W pt its master. Disliking to see the bird owpri up, the old sailor went to work and built a largo wire cage out doors. Ibe building of it occasioned more or less re mark among the cronies that called to smoke a pipe with him, and as they dis liked the bird, they took a huge delight in their raillery. The old sailor laughed with them and took it all in good part, until one day an old weather beaten stdf a trifle without, the inner circle of friendship, made bold to offer a suggestion. “If you want, to give the parrot more freedom,” he said, “why don’t you anchor bim to a chain so lie can fly around in- Mend of building that expensive cage?’’ For a minute there was silence. Then the old sailor spoke, and there was wrath In his voice. "Say. mister, I s’pose you don’t know that bird’s strong, eh?” "Well, what’s that got to do with it?” "Oh, nothing, except that if I anchor him with a chain he’d likely fly away with the world.” The implied sarcasm caused the mar. with suggestions to bold bin ponce.—Har per’s Iluuud Table. Work by Artificial Light. Many persons experience great fatigue In working and reading by artificial light, boiw attention has been given to this sub ject, especially in view of rending and study, and the type, pa pt r and illumina tion most favorable to comfort and health. Vibite light is recommended for <ll artifi cial illumination. One should never read ata lower degree of light than ordinary daylight. Very low intensities cause eye strain and weakness, which may result in exceedingly severe and even dangerous mental and physical conditions. It is now an established faot that epilepsy Is some times caused by eye strain. There are also many other maladies that arc primarily caused and greatly aggravated by bad light while using the eyes. Some authori ties recommend white paper. Others, not ably experienced journalists, insist that straw colored paper and black ink are less tong to the eyes than white paper.— «ew 1 ork Ledger.

Why does imperftct digestion cause disease of other organs? Because blood, nerves, muscles, hone and flesh are derived from 'he food w e eat and diges*. If digestion is perfect the bkod is onre, neives and muscles strong, flesh firm. If the digestion is poor, the blood is supplied from half di gb-ted, termenting food, irritating •-very nerve ar.d organ. The re sult is, sooner or later, organic disease, because every organ being poorly nourished the weakest gives wav firstand we have liver trouble, kidney complaints, heart di-ense or consumption. Is not dieting the usual and best tretment to cure indigestion? No, because the dyspeptic has been starved long enough, what is needed is abundant nourishment, not the lack of it. The stomach and blood demand nutriment, not bran crackers. What is the best method of cure? —l’leantv of wholesome food well digested. But how can a weak stomach digest plenty of wholesome fore? By taking with the food after each meal e rtain harmless rem edies which are known to digest food and thus nourish the blood and r-st the weak stomach. What are these harmless rem edies? The most valuable ar * vegetable ferments, pure pepsin, Golden Seal and fruit salts All of these are now combined in the form of pleasant tasting tablets sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Arc these tablets superior to the various liquid preparations so called dyspepsia cures? Most decidedly, because all liquid medicines become stale with age ard lose whatever good qualities they may have had orig inally, while the tablet retains its properties indefinitely. Stuart's Dysyepsia 'tablets can be carried in the pocket, always at hand ready for use when traveling or at daily occupation. They cost bui 50cts. and should b* kept in every family. They keep the digestion perfect and save doctor’s bills by warding off disease. Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapted to all forms of dyspepsia? Yes, because in all cases the trouble results fr >m indigested ferinutiiing tood. Stuart’s Dyspep sia Tablets cause the food to be digested before it has time to ferment. If you wish to know more about them ask you* druggist for a package and trv them, NOTICE.
