But the way to overcome a temporary fit of consti­ pation. or to remedy'chronic costlveness, is not to deluge the stomach and drench the bowels with purgatives of violent and painful action. The happy medium between an inoperative and violent cathartic is Hosttetor's Stomach Bit­ ters, which acts just sufficiently upon the bowels to relax them, without pain, and which being a wholesome tonic, as well as aperient, has the effect of strengthening both them and the atom ach, and promoting the well being of the whole internal economy. The removal of bile from the blood, increased activity of the liver, usually dormant in cases of costlveness, and sound di­ gestion follow the use of this beneficent medi­ cine, as thorough and genial in its effects as it is safe and pure in composition. Rheumatism, fever and ague, kidney troubles and debility are also remedied by it. TAKIHG HIM AT BIS WORD.

It is related of Hermanii, the -^all- known "magician," who is fond of plac­ ing liis tricks off the stage to urmise his friends, that he was accosted one even­ ing in an uptown cafe by a coEceit«Ml- looking man who had been watchiug the prestidigateur do some clever sleight- of-hand work, aud finally broke in with: You're a pretty clever man, Mr. Hermann, but I can do a trick aa good as any of yours. l ean change ;a 5-cent piece that you may hold in your clenched fist ipto a one-dollar gold coin." Why, my dear fellow," laughed the magician, "that's one of the simplest tricks in my profession, one that au adept would think it beneath him to perform. He might amuse a child with it, perhaps, but so could a mere begin­ ner." "You may laugh at it," persisted the man, "but I'll bet you can't do it." * "Nonsense," said Hermann, "I wouldn't--" • "You're stuck, old man," sneered the conceited one, "I'll bet I could play it on you and yon can't play it on me, and I ain'f in the 'perfesh'either." "Do it for him Herrmann, if just to slint him up, and get rid of him," said one of the bystanders. "Well, where's your 5-cent piece?" said the magician, rather wearily. "Thero it is," replied the rival won­ der-worker, "now change it to a one dollar gold coin if you can," "Now I'll show you," said Herrmann, "liow an, amateur magician Would pro­ ceed to perform this idiotic little trick before a drawing-room full of children or a gaping crowd of country bump­ kins at a county fair." "Extend your arm," he commanded with a wave of his hand, assuming a mock-heroic attitude. The man shoved "nt his hand, in the palm of which lay the 5-cent pieoe. "This is your own coin, ia» friend?" "Yes." r "You're sure of that?" "Yes." "Tell the audience whether ithero is any collusion between w*to deceive them in any way." f k "There aint any." "All is fair and above board, gentle­ men and ladies. No fraud, collusion, or any thing of that kind whatsoever. Shut your hands tight, my friend. Now take care not to let your coin slip. Clench it. Presto--!" and Herrmann passes with his arms. •'Now open your hand." The mau did so, and there lay a bright, new one dollar gold piece." "Well, yon did it after all, "said the conceited one cunningly, a little crest­ fallen, "and as slick as I could have done it myself," aud he turned to go away. "Good-by," said Herrmann, "you may leave me my gold dollar, though, be­ fore you go." ' "What do you mean ?" said the man, with a twinkle in his eye. " Why, the gold <|ollar I palmed off on you. Here's your 5-cent piece." "Nonsense," said the man, "you chauged my 5-cent piece into a gold coin without its leaving my hand. I'll leave it to the crowd if you didn't." The crowd promptly burst into a a* roar, declaring that the laugh was of his own prowess, did not falter, bat looking olosely at the General's right palm as it was extended he observed a slight irregularity of the surface, and suggested that the left hand be used. Lord Napier afterward said that for the first time in his life he was con­ scious of the sensation of fear, as ho realized that the soldier was in dead earnest; but, firm as the rock of Gib­ raltar, the 'eft hand with the apple upon it was presented. The sword flashed down and the fruit, parted in two equal segment-:, fell to the earth, and the General felt something strike his palm as lightly as though a hair had been broken across it. The keen edge of tha blade had touched the skin without cutting it. The slightest tremor might have reunited seriously to England's great chief.--Xew York Tribune. Mow a Piano Would Have Affected His Brother Bill. Some years ago, when pianos wfere not so numerous as at the preseut time, an Arkansaw man, a genuine character, who had been born and bred in the backwoods, happened to be in a river town on«the banks of the "Father of Waters" when one of its largest and most magnificent steamboats was lying ut the pier. Our hero was magnifi­ cently clad in a wolfskin cap and blue homespun trousers thrust into his enor­ mous cowhide boots. His huge rough hands were adorned with massive brass rings and also by several warts as large as nutmegs. Attracted by the sound of music the genius strolled -on board the boat and a£co6ted the captain: "Mornin', stranger. Pretty pert mu­ sic hereabouts. Where might it be, stranger?" "In the lower cabin, sir." "Mought I take *» look at the machine?" "Certainly, sir; walk down.** The gentleman from Arkansaw needed no second invitation. He went down stairs into the cabin and, approaching the instrument, literally devoured it with his eyes. The young lady^ who was seated at it continued playing and the man from Arkansaw was wrapped in silent wonder. At length, when the sound ceased, ho raised Lis cap respectfully and ad* dressed the audience: "L»Jies, I am much obliged to. you for the kindness you have done me. I never heard one of them things before and I never 'sped to again." "You appeared to be very much pleased with it," observed a lady. "Why, yes, madam, I am somewhat, and perhaps I should like it better if I had an ear for music, like my brother." Yes, I like it well enough, but if my brother Bill could only hear that 'ere thing ladies he' tear his shirt and fall right thru' it!" The ladies had the sense to laugh, played another piece, and then the Ar­ kansaw man went on shore highly de­ limited. --Sundau Mercury. Tragedy Foretold in a Dream. Some time ago there waa a lady from Macon visiting relatives in Athens. She had been there about a week when she suddenly received a telegram one morn­ ing from her home in Macon saying her nepliewwas quite sick. On reading the telegram the lady suddenly grew pale, and appeared uu- duly excited about the news received. She did not speak, however, about it until she was leaving Athens on the conceited stranger passed the gold coin over the bar and all drank to the clever magician, the amateur remark­ ing with a grin: "Here's luck to you, old ipan, till you're tired of it.---Yew York Tribune. Not Quite Hopeless. There are various ways of estimating a man's worth and standing. An old gentleman who had evidently been quite indifferent to the fact that one of his summer boarders was a learned wo­ man, and had written several books, openly expressed his admiration when she went into the kitchen and made some excellent biscuits. "That's what I like, a woman that knows something worth while!" remarked he, on sitting dowu to the supper table. The author of "Winters in Algeria" depended on as slight an event to demonstrate his own common sense to his Algerian guide. "Now, Mi loud," said I, "wliy do yon not educate the girls.*"' "Oh, tho girls are of no consequence! They can do housework, and wash the pavements of the mosques, but they are good for nothing. AU the misfortune in the world comes through women. They are to blame for everything that goes wrong, and if a husband gets tired of a wife he has a perfect right to send her away." "But, Miloud, yoa are not enlight­ ened, according to our views. ,1% need to make a trip to our northern couutries, where vou will find that I am not the only one to uphold the rights of women." He stopped short in the road, and with his forefinger to his forehead, said, gravely: "Really, monsieur, it is incompre­ hensible; you look like aa intelligent man, and seem to know a great many things, and judge of them in a sensible manner just as I do, but I do not under­ hand how you can talk about women in this way." To change the subject for a moment. I asked him for my overcoat and re­ marked that the evening was growing chilly. As we had been walking fast, I thought it prudent to put the garment on, and gave my reasons for avoiding the cold. Miloud evidently saw in my remarks some signs of reasoning power, and flattered me by saying: "Ah, that was just what I was going to-tell you, that you should put on your overcoat. Did you think of that your­ self? You have, indeed, some good ideas!"--Exchange. The Old Warrior Did Not Flinch. The death of Lord Napier of Magdala recalls a story told in India of the old soldier's nerve. The Sikh warriors were remarkably dexterous swordsmen, and Lord Napier had heard that one of their tricks was to sever an apple on a man's outstretched band with a sabre stroke, dividing the fruit into two equally proportioned pieces so cleanly that each section dropped singly to the ground without scratching the skin of the palm on which thev had rested. Lord Napier did not quite believe this. He thought the soldier making the offer to perform the feat relied upon the person to whom it was made de­ clining to hold the apple, aud that he would be prepared to make some ex­ cuse if his proposition Was accepted. Accordingly, when a dusky trooper in­ vited him to present the apple on his hand and witness the experiment, he promptly agreed. The Sikh, confident frightful dream about this same nephew. She said that she dreamed he had be­ come engaged in a row with one or two other men, and had been horribly shot and fatally wounded. The frightful vision was so impressed on her mind that she could even at that moment see her nephew shot down like a dog, and bleeding on the floor. The sight made her sick, and the lady almost fainted on the car. She was told it was only a dream, and that it could have no bear­ ing on the telegram whatever, as tht telegram had only stated that hei nephew was sick. When the ladies changed ears at Bar- nett for Macon a friend of the Macon lady came in the car, and in the presence of the Athens lady, told that the nephew had been shot, and in very much the same way that the dream had been recounted.-->Savannah News. ^ Green Roses of California. "Green roses are not a rarity in Cali­ fornia," said a florest' to a reporter the other day. "I remember the first one that I saw in San Francisco. That was thirty-five years ago. It was at Walk­ er's Golden Gate nursery. But before that date I had seen a green rose in Europe. I think that it was in 1859 that one was exhibited in Germany at a grand exposition. "A green rose is nothing but a hy­ brid, and like all hybrid roses it grows hardy, healthy and tall. Some speci­ mens are larger than others, but they are about the same. None of them have any perfume. Its petal;, resemble green leaves. By skillful cultivation a green rose was produced from a rose whose sepals had the leafy character­ istic." "How are the green roses propagated, by cuttings ?" asked the reporter. "Yes," was the reply, "by cuttings, lavering and suekericg, but chiefly by seeds. The green rose has stemens and petals. They are a delicate green­ ish pink, and if you were to separate the crumpled, crowded green petals from each other, in the centre, you would see these organs. But there is no market for them. Who wants a green rose? No one, because of its beauty. It's not even pretty; it's odd, that's all.--San Francisco Call. A Man with a Double Heart. The Mercer County Medical Society devoted the better part of its session in Trenton, N. J., to the examination oi William King, a colored citizen with two hearts. He is about forty-three years of age, and the examination proved that he had a double heart like that found in some of the lower animals. He has wonderful control over these two blood-pumping organs, and, to show his powers, caused his hearts and pulse to cease beating for sixty seconds. He claims that his mother discovered his double heart when he was about six months old. The medical doctors con­ sider it one of the nineteenth century wonders.--SL Louis Republic.

"Have you read what those women out West went and done the other day ?" Mr. Austin asked his wife as they sat at the breakfast table. "Dunno whether I have or not," re­ plied Mrs. Austin, somewhat testily. She wasn't feeling very well that morn­ ing, because her hired girl had quit her in a huff and she was compelled to do the housework Until another one could be obtained. "That's just like you," said Mr. Aus­ tin, impatiently, "you never .seem to take any interest in the affairs of your Bex." "Got about all I can do to look "after our own affairs" replied Mrs. A., with more spirit than she often displayed, but she was nervous and tired. "All over the world women are rising np and endeavoring to throw off their thraldom," cried Mr. A., grandilo­ quently. "After being crushed down for centuries tbey are beginning to as­ sert their manhood--I mean their wom­ anhood, and to show that they will no longer be trodden down under the iron heel of the oppressor." "What have the women been doing out West?" asked Mrs. Austin, with dawning interest, although she had a very confused idea as to where "out West" was located. "In a body they tackled the demon, Aloohol!" said Mr. Austin, putting great emphasis ou the last word. "Gracious!" cried Mrs. Austin; "do you mean to say they took to drink in a body ? How dreadful!" ^ "No, no! They made an attack on King Alcohol in his stronghold, the sa­ loon. They vanquished the saloon­ keeper, seized his poisonous stuff and emptied it into the street. Ah!" cried Mr. Austin, rising to his feet and point­ ing to an imaginary group of strong- minded women smashing bottles and demijohns, "there are women to ad­ mire !" "But, John," said Mrs. Austin^ dole­ fully, "would you want me to "break into saloons with an a^e and go to smashing in tho heads of whisky bar­ rels ?" "You would if you were at ail in­ spired with the spirit of the Crusades-- if you recognized the true mission of wouien, to battle against wrong and clear the moral atmosphere of the times. Ah, Mrs. Austin, you are not equal to the demands of the hour. You do not possess the heroic spirit of those brave and noble women of the West. HoVr I could admire and worship you if you were made of that sort of stuff, and would emulate their glorious example." Mrs. Austin was silent for a moment, then rising hastily she went into the kitcheu. She quickly seturned with a look of firmness on her face and the kitchen poker in her hand. She strode resolutely to the side-board, and bring­ ing out a demijohn of "Old Rye" she smashed it with one blow of the poker. "Mrs. Austin!are you crazy?" cried her astonished husband springing to his feet. "I suppose I am a little off," cried Mrs. Austin, deftly knocking off the head of a brandy Dottle. Then Fhe followed up the attack by assailing the various bottles of liquor standing on the shelves. * Wife! wife! you are " * . "I'm a crusader! Whoopee!" ,.<»« again tlie poker descended among the cherished bottles of Belect liquors. "I'm going for the demon, Alcohol!" "But these are for jfairily use," ex­ claimed Mr. Austin, dodging a reckless swing of the poker that came within dangerous proximity to Iris head. " Well, ain't the family using 'em?" "Stay thy baud, woman!" (With Btern authority.) "Can't any of this stuff stay here," aiming a deft blow at a bottle labeled "Old Tom Gin." "I'll call the police!" , "Call anybody! I'm following your advice--attacking King Alcohol in his stronghold. Emulating the noble wo­ men of the West! Hurrah!" Mr. Austin gazed ruefully at the dev­ astation wrought, and then went off in a rage, while Mrs. Austin went off in a fit of hysterics. -- Tejras Si flings.

Now is the Time Substit ute for a Pair of Blue Stockings. The daughter of a Norwich, Conn., shoemaker was the acknowledged belle in society circles, and when her doting father brought her a cute little pair of slippers he had made her expressly for the occasion her joy knew no bounds. The great dav came at last, as all days, great or smaU, have a habit of doing. Early in the evening the beauty laid all her finery carefully on the bed, the dress washed and ironed by her own fair hands, her new slippers and only good pair of stockings, reserved for such occasions; ribbons for her waist and hair. Then, with shining eyes, she stood off and admired the collection with glowing anticipation of the hearts she would break and the envy of her girl friends. The time for di«ssing finally arrived and like the majority of her sex, she almost completed her toilet before put­ ting on her stockings and, slippers. The latter were where she had left them, but the stockings were not. She searched the whole room over, frantic­ ally pulling the bed to pieces, in vain. Then she darted down to the parlor, where the parents awaited her coming, with the dreadful information that her only pair of stockings had in some mys­ terious way vanished. What should shedo? To go without was impossible, for the dancing length of dresses was more abreviated at th.-t time than now aud allowed a more liberal display of an ankle. lT> remain at home would break her heart; besides, if the cause of her ab­ sence became known, she would have to endure the ridicule of all those she had snubbed at other times. As she stood in speechless despair, the tears trickling down her pretty face, her at­ tention was caught aud held by a tin bucket containing blue paint, which the old man had bought that day to put a fresh "coat" on the front of the house. In a twinkling she caught the bucket and brush and darted back to her room. The amazed parents thought the dis­ appointment had turned her brain, but not so. It was rather late when the family got to the ball, but when they did arrive Beauty was quickly sur­ rounded with admirers, and when the favored man tucked her under his arm and they took their places at the head of the "set" forming, a perfect buzz of envy went around the room on the part of the girls, and of admiration on the part of the men, but the only remark made: "What a lovely pair of blue stockings Beauty has on." Others present may have outdressed her, but no one will deny that she "outstepped" the crowd. # A COLORED girl in Tennessee bears the following name : Carrie Ann Happy Ann Ann Eliza Scales Blow-the-Bel- lows Potters' Field Rose Ann Thomas.
