To say that this splendid work of sci­ ence and art is finer and better than ev­ er, is stating it mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all previous years. To say that such results, reaching through thirty years, are not based up­ on sound sense and usefulness, is an in­ sult to the intelligence of the millions. Prof. Hicks, through this great Alma- & e and 1U famous family and scientif ic journal, World and Works, is doing a work for the whole people not ap­ proached by any other man or publica­ tion. A fair test will prove this to any reasonable peison. Added to the most luminous course in astronomy for 1903, forecasts of storms and weather are giy en, as never before, for every day in the year, alt charmingly illustrated with nearly two hundred engravings. The price of single Almanac, including post­ age and mailing, is thirty cents. Word and Works with the Almanac is $1.00 a year. Write to Word and Works -Pub­ lishing Co., 2201 Locust Street, St. Lou­ is, Mo., and prove to yourself their great value. The He#t Remedy for Croup, (From the Atchison. Ivan.. Daily Globe.) This is the season when every woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in tbe middle of the night by a whoop from one of thft children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in a case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in a case of burglars. There used to be Hn old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive-syrup and tolu, but some mod­ ern mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It ranees the patient to "throw up the phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough ap­ pears and it will prevent the attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists. Professional Pride. Newspaper men, from great editors down to rural fg&rrespondents, are proud of their profession, although not all sit as secure as John Black, for many years tbe of the London Chronicle. Black supported the Melbourne ad­ ministration in his paper, yet he never asked a favor of any of the ministers. On one occasion Lord Melbourne said to him: You are the only man in England who forgets that I am prime minister." How so, my lord?" inquired Black, supposing that he bad been inadver­ tently disrespectful. "Because,replied Melbourne, "you are tbe only man I know who never asks a favor of me." "I have no favor to ask," said Black quietly. "I have no favor to ask any one in the world! Yon are prime min­ ister of England, but I am editor of the Morning Chronicle, and I would not change places with the proudest man in England--not even, my lord, with you." Weeplnar at a Weddln*. A Chinese marriage is all ceremony-- ao talk, uo levity and much crying. The solemnity of a funeral prevails. After the exchange uf presents the bride la dressed with much care In a red gown, brocade or silk. If she can get it; her eyelashes are pah.ted a deep black, and she wears a heavy red veil attached to a scarlet headdress, from which imitation pearls are pendent over the forehead. A feast 1b spread upon a table, to wlilch the blushing brfde is led by five of her best female friends. They are seated at the table, but no one eats. Tbe utmost silence prevails, when, finally, the mother leads off in a cry. the maids follow and the bride echoes in the chorus. Then all the bridesmaids leave the table and the disconsolate mother takes a seat beside the chair of state where the bride sits. The bridegroom now enters, with four of his best men. The men pick up tbe throne on which the bride aits, and, preceded by the bridegroom, form in procession and walk around the room or Into an adjoining parlor, signifying that he is carrying her away to his own home. The guests then throw rice at the happy couple, a cus­ tom we have borrowed from the heathen. $ ^There is no Place 'ike Home K - 1 : ' a®. A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when getting his usual Saturday night bath, stepped back against.a hot stove which burned him severely. . The child was in great agony and his: mother could do nothing to pacify hftn. Remembering that she had a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the house she thought she would try it. In less than half an hour after applying it the child was quiet and asleep, and in less than two weeks was well. Mrs. Benson is a well known resident of Kellar, Pa.

" If women would pay more attention to their health we would have more happy wives, mothers and daughters, and if tney would observe results they would find that the doctors' prescriptions do not perform the many cures they an given credit for.

Story, McHenry, G. W. Besley, W. McHenry. A Pltek Uka. Trinidad, an Island In the south At­ lantic opposite the mouth of the Ori­ noco, Is famous for Its plteh. There are districts where there is pitch ev­ erywhere. The beach Is pitch, and ao are the "rocks," some of which have been carried off to supply Paris and New York with tar pavements. At La Brea pineapples grow to perfection in a brown soil which is half pitch. But the wonder of the Isle Is the pitch lake a mile and a half In circumference. As it lies glittering In the sun It looks like a vast bed of monstrous mush­ rooms. aU black and of all kinds of shape and sice, some measuring as mueh as fifty feet across. The space between these unlovely objects Is filled with oily water. In parts of the lake the pitch is quite liquid, and the ground all round is full of pitch and coaly stuff to a depth of hundreds of teat Th* Woman tdith a Beaut if at Complexion to dM woman whs** dmfci portray dw glow of haalffc.

WINE^CARDUI Cared of Pile* After 40 Year*. Mr. C. Haney, of Geneva, Ohio, had the piles for over forty years. Doctors and dollars could do him no lasting good.

"Yes, sor." "Who did. then?" "1 did, sor." "And what did you sell Major Studdert?" "I sold blm a mare, sor." The counsel aat down, and the couft roared. A Policeman's Testimony. J. N. Patterson, night policeman of Nashua, la., writes, "Last winter I had a bad cold on my lungs and tried at least a half dozen advertised cough medicines and had treatment from two physicians without getting any benefit.

There is no excuse for a person buying the necessities of life in Chicago thin fall. The home merchants all have a larger and better stock of winter goods than ever before. Ah, but you say, "I can buy so much cheaper in Chicago." That is a mistaken idea. You go to Chicago to trade without even looking oyer the local stock or asking prices. Try this once and compare the Chicago and Mc­ Henry prices, at the same time keeping close tab on the quality of the goods the merchants offer. No one ever gains anything by shunning the home indus­ tries. They do an injustice to them­ selves, hurt their town and come out the small end of the horn. Asleep Amid Flames.

' Tke bcUUa, "Geisha," the professional girl en­ tertainer of Japan, Is by no means to be confounded with "geinin," says Japan and America. The word geisha really means actor, "gel" meaning a play or entertainment of any sort, and "sha" means a person. For Instance, 1-sha means physician, and so on. The word really means what "actor" does in English, but It has come to mean only those girls in Japan who are trained to entertain by dancing and singing to the shamisen and koto, the usual musical instruments for light en­ tertainments, and they also are trained to converse agreeably on topics of the day. "Geinin," on the other hand, while It really means the same thing as geisha, has now <?ome to be applied to artists, in a higher sense. A Thanksgiving Dinner. Heavy eating is usually the first cause of indigestion. Repeated attacks in­ flame tbe mucious membranes lining the stomach, exposes the nerves of the stomach, producing a swelling after eat­ ing, heartburn, headache, sour risings and finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves the inflammation, protects the nerves and cures the catarrh. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach troubles by cleansing and sweetening tha glands of the stomach. Julia A.

He was one of the urdent ad- mirers of Mrs. Crewe, a noted beauty of her day, and it Is reluted that a gentleman lost a considerable sum to this lady at play and, being obliged to leave town suddenly, gave Mr. Fox tbe money to pay ber. begging blm to apol­ ogize to her for his not having paid the debt of honor In person. Fox lost ev­ ery shilling of It before morning. Mrs. Crewe often met the supposed debtor afterward and, surprised that he never noticed the circumstances, .at length delicately hinted the matter to him. "Bless me!" said be. "1 paid the mon­ ey to Mr. Fox three months ago." "Oh, did you, sir?" said Mrs. Crewe good naturedly. "Then probably be paid me and 1 forgot It."
