THE CURSE OF THE NATION IS | CONSTIPATION "Frut-a-fes" Alone Cures This Disease A famous scientist states that Consti- pation, or non-actionof the bowels causes more, deaths than all other diseases combined. "Constipation - inflames the Kidneys, ruins digestion, is the found- ation of i Neumatism, poisons the blood, causes THeddaches, Neuralgia, Nervous ness and Insomnia, Coystipation is caused by a weak or sluggish liver. Bile, the only purgative of the. body, is secreted by the liver, which in turn should pour out into the intestines sufficient bile to move the bowels. Unless the liver is active, there cannot be enough bile to move the bowels regularly, and Constipation is the result, "Froit-a-tives", the famous fruit me- dicine, will always cure Constipation because it acts directly on 'the liver-- relieves the congestion--increases the quantity of bile--and strengthens the bowel muscles, 50¢. a box, 6 for $2.50, or trial size, 25¢.

It 1s the unwritten law of the sea that a captain must go down with his ship. Men dure not write it into the contract, and nations dare not incor- porate it in their navy or marine regu- lations, yet the tyrants of the sea know the law and believe that to obey it betters their service, and there are few instances of its being disregarded It 1s the unwritten law of the army, and navy that an officer shall not seek cover, or at least shall not show ap- prehension of danger to 'his person in time of battle and in the presence of enlisted men or common saflors. In the Franco-Prussian war nearly 4,000 officers of the German army . were Killed, and the great majority of them gave up their lives because they be- leved in this law of condfict. In obedience to this law Farragut bound himself to the mast, Lee rode at the bead of his charging column at the bloody angle, and Lawton walked coolly in front of the line and was shot in the presence of his men. The law of the right of revolution has been much talked about and much written about.

When holes are dug, about three feet deep and twenty feet apart, the nut is carefully placed therein and covered with about a foot of soil. The hole is filled as the sprout grows until the latter reaches the surface, then it is left to itself, re quiring no further attention. Should the place where the cocoanut is planted be any great distance from the sea- shore a quantity of salt is placed in the hole. The plant will grow in lux- urfance, however, but a short distance from the shore, nearness to salt water being absolutely essential to its wel: fare."'-- Washington Herald. MAKING STEAM WORK.

ASTRONOMICAL CLOCKS. - 5 Mary Precautions Are Taken to Insure | Their Accuracy. } To the average person an astronomi- cal clock is a complicated affair, giv. | ing the date, day of the week, phases | of the moon and other miscellaneous information. The facts are far other | wise. There is no, clock so simple as | that of the astronomer. Even the cop | venient plan of having the hour and minute hands mounted at the same center is abandoned, because it makes | a more intricate form of wheel work necessary, says the Louisville Courier Journal. The observatory clock has a | separate dial for each band, the cen | ters of the second hand, minute hand | and hour hand being In a straight line |. and equally distant from each other. To secure accuracy further precau- | tions are taken. Only men who have | attained worldwide fame in meéchan- fcal construction are employed. The | chronometer must be mounted, notona | wall that vibrates, but upon a strong | pler of masonry baving a solid founda. | tion; also it is best placed underground | in a cellar to secure for it a tempera- ture as nearly uniform as possible, for clocks do not run quite the same in hot | ~ weather as they do in cold. ! By adjusting a metal that has the | singular property of contracting under | heat it is possible to overcome the va- | riation in a measure, but the astrono- | mer prefers to provide for his clock a | temperature practicaily the same the | year round. The going of a fine clock | is further affected, strange as it may seem, by barometric pressure. The | running is different when the barome- | ter is high from what it is when low; | hence best clocks are now inclosed | in air tight cases'to protect them from | outside barometric changes, MACARONI 'DANDIES. -- Grotesque Fashions In England In the | Eighteenth Century.
