Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
fevcrishuess. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
, teething? troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas
. toria is the Children's Panacea the Mother's Friend.
Castoria.
"Castoria is aa excellent medicine for chil
drea. Mothfers have Repeatedly told m of iU
food effect upon their children. "
Dr. Q. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
.. " Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
lar distant when mothers will consider the real
tuteret of their children, and use Castoria in-
-stead cf -the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing 6yrup and other hurtful
agects down their throats, thereby sending
(hem to premature graves.1'

The Uorld'M Sympathy
BY ELLA WHRELEK WILCOX.
Liugh, and the world laughs with
Tou,
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth
Must borrowr its mirth,
It has sorrowr enough of its own.
Shout, and the hills will answer,
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
Ihe echoes Lound.
To the joyfnt sound,
But they will not voice your care.
Smile, and friends will greet you.
Frown, and they turn and go;
They want tull measure
Of all vour pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Feast, and your halls are crowded,
Fast, and the world goes by ;
Succeed and give,
r It will help you live,
But it cannot help you die.
There is room in the halls of
Pleasure,
For a long and lordly train,
But, one by one, we must all file on
Through the narrow aisle of
Pain.

Arlanta Constitution.
My Presbyterian friends are not
ha;)py because the printer made
mc say there were only 300 Pres
by erians in Georgia. They flood
mc with postal cards to inform me
thy t there are 13,000. I wrote
veiy plainly that there were only
3,000 voters in that church three
thousand not three hundred
an l that is about right. . The type
setters will make some blunders
and sometimes they are very'ex
asperating to the author. If a
man writes a bad, perplexing hand
like Horace Greeley or Alex Steph.
enn or Sunset Cox, the typo is ex
cusable for mistakes. When Cox
was invited by Henry Grady to
come to Atlanta then wrote him to
learn what his subject would be
end he answered something that
looked like "Just Human' And
so it was advertised and placarded
all over town. "Must Human"
was on every wall and corner. No
body was very much surprised,ior
they knew that Cox was a wit and
a wag and that he could make that
hsubject fit almost any kind of a
discourse. When Mr. Cox arrived
and saw the posters ho wa3 greatly
aniused. . "Why, who ever heard
of such a subject ?" said he to
Grapy. "1 wrote you that my sub
ject would be 'Irish Humor.' " The
best way to decipher a bad hand
'write is to read it with the double
wabble3 like the fellow who shot
out the bull's eye in Longstreet's
"Georgia Scenes." Don't look at
ariy particular word, but let the
sight wabble all along the line.
Take it all in at a glance. Some
times I find no .difficulty in read
ing a letter, but am perplexed over
the signature. More than once I
have cut it off and pasted it on the
envelope containing my reply. His
own postmaster will recognize it if
I can't. Sometimes a lady "corres
pondent fails to indicate whether
she i a maid or a madam, and so
w: do not know whether to address
her as Miss or Mrs. But the most
amusing letters that literary men
receive are from school boys and
girls who beg for original speecheo
or compositions. Years ago I tried
to oblige them, but soon found it
would take all my time and was
forced to decline them. It grieved
me to do this, for I remember
what an auvioue, depressing'task
it was to write an original speech
or composition when I was to write
an original speech or composition
when I was a school boy. Some
of the - boy? who write to me for
help have an idea that I can roll
off speeches like rain runs from a
roof, and that I love to do it. But
this is a great mistake. Not long
ago a boy wrote to me tor a very)
very humorous speech one that
would bring down the house and
create a sensation and hoped I
would send it right away. He
added a postscript as follows:
"While you are about it, I wish
you would .write me two, so that I
can take choice."
As these letters very seldom have
a stamp enclosed, the boys should
have a stamp enclosed, th boys
should not be surprised at receiv
ing no reply. Another class o
letters are more pardonable, but
they always grieve me. 1 mean
letters asking for charity or for a
donation to some church. They
are always reasonable and make a
deserving case and it griqves me
th:tt I cannot respond to their
wishes and expectations. The
writers have an idea that 1 am rich
and have a great big heart. I wish
thty knew7 how poor 1 am and how
smill is my iucome. They would
be astonished. It is a great mis
fortune to have a rich man's ways
ard a poor man's purse. The re.
sul's of the war placed a great
m 1. y of us in that condition. We
wt: i reared to live free and easy
ac we kept an open house. It
wit a pleasure to be generous and
he; citable. It was the special
pi 3. sure cf our wives and mothers
to ,ast their visitors, and the ser
V2i: :s took pride in it, too. Aunt
Aim , our old-fashioned cook, has
net gotten over it and had rather
&h; - off for company with a fine
dinner than to do less work on a
common one. She says: "I was
rais :d where dar was bundance ot
evrjy thing and I likes to see bun
daue yit. Quality folks can't git
alt.ng without bundance." Old
fashioned darkies still call the ar
istocracy "quality folks." Aunt
Ann is in trouble now. The city
m:irsnal nas levied on her house
an i lot for taxes. It is only sev
en dollars, but she can't pay it
She thinks it is an outrage on
freedom. Her old man voted for
the popular because they prom-"
ised to take off taxes and give them
free schoolbooks. It is the same
old story of forty acres and a mule.
And now the Legislature is fixing
to add to our burdens of toxation
The educational bill and the pen
sion bill will take nearly a million
of dollars, but they will pass the
bills. .The reign of the demagogue
is still upon us.
But wo are off to Florida now,
and before this goes to press we
will be basking in the sunshine and
breathing the balmy air of the gulf
coast. My daughters house is
ready, her furniture gone down,
the fish are waiting, the sailboats
sporting on the bay. I see the surf
rolling and flashing through the
islaiid passes and I hear the mur
mur of the . waters. I see long
rows of pelicans standing like sen
tinels in the sand the tide has left.
I see the white-winged gulls float,
ing in the air and the black, ugly
porpoises turning somersaults in
the water. We will soon be in
lovely communion with tropical
nature in all her beautp,but we all
are sad at the idea of leaving our
pleasr.nt home among the hills of
dear old' Georgia. Some of our
dearest kindred cannot go, and
dear friends will miss us and we
will miss them. It was sad to 6ee
1 , 1 , , , ... ,
- me 01a mare put out lor Her teed
and to see the little Jersey go
and sadder still to leave th? faith
ful d )gs behind. But we have to
bear these things. Next spring
when we return we will rejoice all
tin more for having been away
during the winter. There is not
only health and comfort and
pleasure in wintering in Florida,
but to us it is economy. My wife
and I will pay board, of course.but
that will not amount to half as
much as coal and wood and water
and gas and horse feed and winter
clothing and servants' hire and
"'bundance of company' Just
think what a little child can do.
For her sake her mother had to
go to Florida and took her sister
with her. For all their sakes my
wife and I have followed on the
same old story of parents growing
old and running after their chil
dren. I shall return homo about
Christmas fur a week or two. but
until then my address will be
Clear Water, Fla. The postal
name is Clear Water Harbor, but
that doesn't matter.

Rev. Dr. Talmage has a word
about boys and their religion,
wrhith parents may reflect up
on :
Hive at least one book in your
lib?; ry in which all the good chil
dr( 1 did not die. My early im
prt s uon from Sunday School
boc 1 s was that religion wa9 very
un i althy. It seemed a ter
rilli distemper that killed every
boy and girl that it touched.
If - found myselt some day
bett r than common I correct
ed :1 o mistake for fear I should
die; although ic was the general
opia on that I was not in much
dai ter from over sancticy. Ikit I
do b ilieve that children may have
religion, and yet live through it.

The'boy who has no fire in his

out of sight, and, in the race, as

.1 i'hfiiice for I lie Inventor.
The wonderful ingenuity devel
oped by our mechanics, inventors,
and contrivers during tho past gen
generation or twohas about spoiled
the dear public. It deH not make
much difference as to tho purpose
for which any piece of mechanism
is designed, it must be more or less
automatic and "self-operating" to
take with the average buyer. In
some respects the demand craze
we might call it has been carried
to the verge of absurdity ; in oth
ers it has proved of the greatest
benefit to the human race, while
certain fields, in which the auto
matic principle should bo peculiar
ly available, have failed of all ben
efit in the efforts of the inventor.
Take for instance the ordinary
heating apparatus in our dwellings,
whether it be steam, hot water, or
warmed air that is employed.
Many of the makers thereof have
strong claims to advance for the
''automatic" character of their ap
pliances, and yet there is not one
among them all that can be safely
trusted, to us a homely phrase, to
"go it alone," even for a limited
period. Here is a furnace man
w ho will fit up your residence with
a wonderful arrangement of elec
tric thermostats, or thermometers
having electric limit connections,
by which we will guarantee to
keep your house at an even temp
erature all winter. A steam heat
ing outfit is provided with a diaph
ragm valve that controls the damp
er of the furnace and keeps just so
much pressure, which means an
equally well determined degree of
heat. The hot water man has
something else; all are eqnally in
faltiole, but the only difference in
their operation is the effect they
ex( rcise 041 the pocketbook. Eith
er 1 hey are dismal failures, in spite
of il that can be done for them.or
the 7 take so much looking after
thr t the deluded purchaser reverts
aft r all to the poker, shovel; and
shf or, which, controlled by the
hu'aan sense of comfort and its
opi csite, are the best regulators of ,
the modem heating apparatus.
I ."ere is a chance for the invent
or. The ingenious individual who
wil make it impossible for tlie or
din i.-y heating apparatus to freeze
us r "render" us out between bed-
tin" ? and dawn; that will insure,
wit i r.it a constant worrying of the
fire 5, an even temperature that will
obi;i1e the necessity for flooding
the ordinary residence with cold
air and incidentally with dust,
preparatory to th- kiln drying of
its contents, will win a fortune and
honestly earn it. U does not mat
ter what the heating medium may
be or how regulated, provided it is
not in any way more offensive,
cumbersome, dangerous, etc , than
the methods now in vogue; as long
as it is reliable and effective it will
go. and price will be no object.
There is no doubt but what it
will come to pass that the heating
apparatus of the future will he a3
economical of fuel, as safe, as ef
ficient and withal as mechanically
beautiful, as the modern automatic
high speed steam engine, with its
cut-off and perfect self governing
devices, and inventors would find
it mighty profitable to be first to
the front with anything of the
kind that would be really trust
worthy. We have looked the field
over very carefully, and found sev
eral contrivances that may ulti
mately fill the bill, but which la
bor under "just one" little defeat
or weakness that is fatal to their
perfect reliability. With all the
ingenuity they have thus far dis
played in their constructions, the
originators should certainly be
able to complete them. The Sani
