Dyspepsia does ;.- C&ting requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood's Sarsa parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and other organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good appetite, and by thus .. SlCk ' overcoming tho local symp toms removes the sympa-ieaaacno thetic effects of the disease, banishes the fceadache, and refreshes the tired mind. "I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat . , . distressed me. or did me c si edit lig good -fa h0ur ' Dlirn after eating I would expe rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up in a SOlir ' room with fresh paint. Last e spring I took Hood's Sarsa- OlOmacn rilla took three bottles. It did me an immense amount of good.

People Who Were Punished long Ago by Having Their Hearers Removed. -Any mutilation of tbe ear whioh in volved the loss of a portion or all of it has always been a mark of disgrace. In one of the statutes of Edward VI the penalty affixed for its violation is the "loss of an ear and perpetual infaray. In those days the celluloid ear had not been invented and the loss of one of these members was a public badge of diarae for life. Following the retributive law of Moses, probably tha punishment originated in the ecclesiastical courts. It is first men tioned in the trials of offenses against the church and some of the earless clericals werew noted men. The sentence to the pillory frequently had the additional pun ishment of the loss of one or both ears added. Daniel Fooe, or Foe, later in life known as Daniel Defoe, wrote a pamph let called "The Shortest Way with the Dissenters," and lost his ears. Pope, in his "Dunciad," speaks of the author of "Robinson Crusoe:" "Earless on high Btood unabashed Defoe." He was placed in the pillory three times. That instrument being on a raised platform explains the line. In Defoe's case, however, as in many others, his punishment was rather a martyrdom, and lifted him in the esteem of those who believed as he did. Dr. Baatwick, who published more pamplilets than pills, concludes one of his essays with : ' 'From plague, pestilence and famine, from bishops, priests and deacons, good Lord deliver us." This was so serious an affront that the doctor was sentenced to the pillory and to lose both his ears. The execution of his sen tence was a sort of public fete. His friends gathered before the pillory and shouted words of encouragement. His wife climbed upon the pillory and kissed him. When his ears were cut off ' 'she put them in a clean hankkerchief" and carried them home. The celebrated Prynne suffered a similar punishment. The names of lesser criminals . have escaped the permanent records, but Blackstone mentions a number of early English parliamentary enactments mak ing the loss of an ear a penalty in law. Fighting in a church or churchyard by acts passed during the fifth and sixth years of the reign of Edward VI meant the loss -of Ixjth ears. If the prisoner had no ears which implies that there were habitual criminals 350 years ago he was to be branded with the letter F in the cheek. In the second and third year of the same monarch combinations among victualers and artificers to raise the price of provisions or the rate of labor for the third offense was punished by the pillory and the loss of an car. The statute not only extended to the j combinations to raise wages, but to reg ulate tho quantity of work or to Jessen the hours of labor. In this degenerate age the trusts and other combines, with the different labor unions, if these laws were enforced, would give the public executioner active employment. In later years the loss of an ear or part of one has also been regarded as imply ing disgrace. The ear is not easily lost. Any accident that destroys the ear usually destroys the person wearing it. One of the favorite ways of mutilating aa enemy in a rough and tumble fight 13 to bite off his ear. In disreputable brawls and in low resorts brute instinct makes ear mutilation a lit revenge for almost any wrong. Jack Slade, the notorious desperado, in a fit of rage3 is said to have cut oH the ears of a man lie had mur- dered. He kept them in his pocket and boastfully exhibited them when in a drunken and dangerous mood. When; he saw on the poker table a stake he wanted particularly Jack plaved the ears. Flinging them on the table they beat four aces or a straight flush, for Jack had a pistol m. each liand the next- mstant. He always took the pot on the play. Chi cago News. African Prince and Gentleman. According to the testimony of Sir Samuel Baker, Emin Pasha and Henry M. Stanley, there is one chief in Central Africa who is worthy of the title of gen- ueman. xus name is amim anu lie name rules over the region made famous in Eider Haggard's remarkable noveL ''She." He is described as aportly, well dressed man of middle age, who is pos sessed of inborn tact, never a&ks for presents and is not inquisitive about the private affairs of his guests. Since the Arabs began trading in his country, An fini has been able to procure many arti cles of European manufacture. Dr. Emin says that Anfhii is the only negro prince he lias met to whom cloth ing and whatever other civilized appli ances have found their way to his coun try have become indispensable. He dresses in English flannels and is scru pulously clean. He is the only native in the central regions of the dark continent spoons at his meals. When Dr. Emin was his guest bananas and other food were passed around on china dishes. His people never presume to appear in public in a nude condition, but all are decently wrapped in skins and bark clothing. Philadelphia Times. National Progress Of Russia. The Russians, says an English paper, are moving rapidly on every line that makes for national progress. Scientific exploration is being earned on in many different directions; laboratories and-observatories are being founded, and rail ways opened at a wonderfully iapid rate. There are now 18,500 miles of railway open for traffic in Russia. Qf this the state owns about one-fifth only. The Russians are independent of foreign na tions for coal, iron, oil and mechanical skill, and the foreign element is being eliminated from -Russian works, so that the progress of the empire is taking place on a wide basis. Chicago Herald. - Ladles Who Cannot Swim. Now, ladies who cannot swim and are afraid- of the water, let me advise you not to trust yourselves in small boats of any kind, especially small sailboats, un less in the very best of hands. The first chance vou tret do vour best to learn something of swimming, andyou will never regret it. To those of my own sex I would say, never take a lady who can- not swim (unless she ia one who never foses her self cbntrol) in an unsafe boatj an upsot otherwise may prove doubly fatal.

Mechanism of tlio Heart. -In the human subject the average ra pidity of the cardiac pulsation of an adult male is about seventy beats per minute.

The snake they hold in holly abhor rence. Of the violence of their prejudice against it I had a striking proof some years ago. Chit-chi, brother of old Man- nelito, the boss silversmith of the tribe, is a very good friend of mine and has made me some remarkable specimens of native jewelry. On one occasion I employed him to make me a bracelet in the form of a snake. He had it about half fin ished when some of his fellowschanced to call at the hogan. To say that they L" were horrified when they saw what he was about 13 putting ii very mildly. They fell upon the obnoxious figure and desboyed it, and then reported Chit-chi - to the elders of the tribe, who promised him an artistic stoning to death if he ever dabbled again in such tabooed workman- ' 6hir -New Mexico Cor.

Prior's first field work, occurred one of those fortunate event3 which brave men , ascribe to luck and fair men to pluck. The Forty-second regulars were attack ing the Ashantees in the hush. Prior, i-ight in the thick of it, made a hasty sketch, showing the gleam of bayonets through the rifle smoke, the flash of the blacks' guns from the. undergrowth, the tips of British muskets emerging here and there from the fiery vapor of battle, the assailants firing in all sorts of atti- tudes, some running to the front, others lying under a protecting tree, others still kneeling bv tiie horses from which they had iust dismounted. These were the j hazy outlines or bold dashes of an artist Rnldirr under fire. There was no time to make a picture before the mail left for still reeking with rifle smoke, to the home office, with a hasty note asking ine lllustratea XNews to worn it up into n -ft -r i cl- rtntAnn Rnf lTrtA fPRfA did nothing of the sort.
