f >3 /v: V',. A Traveler's Outfit. A small "Traveler's Guide," dated 1780, has just come to hand. . It con­ tains a good deal ofadvice wto the lug-" gage which should he taken. We take a few paragraphs from this booklet, leaving our readers to draw their own conclusion as to whether a century of travel has improved us in tliis connec­ tion. "Tak&," says the "Guide," "two suits of clothes, one coffee-colored and one blue, a chest flannel, a pair of feath­ er-breeches, a sleeping suit, three pairs of stockings, two pairs of gloves, two wigs, one hair bag (?), two caps, two hats, two pairs of shoes, one pair of slippers, six 'undershirts,' four 'over- handkerchiefs. four pairs of cuffs, three cravats, two pairs of cotton liose, two pairs of socks." But this is not all, as is shown by the following items; "Take a Bible, a book of sermons, a/Travel­ er's GUide,' two albums, a diary, a quire of white paper, quills and ink, an almanac, a mirror, a silver watch, a silver snuffbox, a silver spoon, a pair of silver shoe buckles, a silver tiepin, three silver fetuds, a gold seal ring, a knife and fork with silver handles, a sewing case,.an opera glass, a compass, a wax light and a tinder box, a tooth- brush, a silver toothpick, a sword, a silver-mounted cane, a padlock with •. which to fasten your door at night in­ side, a clothes brush; a box of medi­ cines." . A COUNTRY WIT-HOUT A NAVY Kinsddm of Itclginm Has -a Water Front but No Ships of War. No invitation was extended to the na­ val authorities qf one neighboring coun­ try to participate in, tlier festivities at the opening of the ship canal between the North Sea and the Baltic, which at­ tracted the armed ships of various Eu­ ropean and American governments. That country, says the New York Sun, is Belgium, and it is peculiar among European countries having, a water front from the fact that it it has no navy. /' • - This is the more remarkable when it is considered that Belgium includes within its Doruers one of the oldeslf har- .bors in Europe--Antwerp--which, at the zenith of its commercial success, had a.s many as 2,000 ships. The com­ merce of Antwerp is still considerable, and a fair share of it is done with the United States. When the war of 1S30 culminated in the independence of Belgium from the rule of the Netherlands, the two coun­ tries Were so divided that Holland had the larger share Of the seacoast line, and Belgium had a larger measure of the inland country. "Holland retained all the colonial possessions of the two countries, and in Order to keep up con­ nection with them and. protect them fj'oitt hostile assaults the navy was maintained by Holland. Belgium, having no foreign colonies to protect, was under no obligations to maintain ii, navy, Holland has now a considerable navy, having 100 ships; and 7.500 sailors, but Belgium is able to get along without aiiy navy at all, though the Belgian army, on a peace footing, is 2,000 men stronger than the Duteh'army, and, on a war footing, hast 100,000 men more. ness Depends upon- a healthy body and a contented mind. ^?OT w Vd\s -N % \s WTvva\\e&, Health THE RISING SUN V\ STOVE POLISH ia J cakes for general b,ackingof a*to*c- v THE SUN PASTE POLISH for a <rofck , fi after-dinaet- stone, THE WOgfiF applied and pol- ished With a cloth. •one Bros., Props., Canton, Maas..

Great Britain does not care to discuss the Monroe doctrine with reference to Venezuela any more than to submit the boundary dispute to arbitration, and for precisely the. same reason. She knows She is in the wrong, and that her iniqui­ tous act is. best to be accomplished, if at all, in silence and in darkness.--New York Tribune. It is to be hoped that Venezuela, backed by our Government, will demand the arbi­ tration of England's entire claim, and will not allow - it to be limited to recent en- ^croacliments. If our Government does not take this stand it will' admit the right of any European, power to dismember or take possession of. any Of our sister re­ publics in this hemisphere,--Atlanta Con­ stitution. There is-really but one course open to the Government-.and that is to insist at the proper time--which seetas t« be very near at hand--thist Great Britain either , submit its claim to Venezuelan territory t;i arbitration or . recognize the fact that if forcibly asserted the force must be large enough to overcome not Venezuela alone but the United States as well.-- Detroit Free Press. The United States is so fully commit­ ted to the Monroe doctrine that it cannot afford to give it up permanently. In the event that circumstances should compel it to forego its assertion for the time be­ ing, it would be in duty bound to return to the doctrine after it had placed itself in a positloirto maintain the theory in the face of whatever opposition might be de­ veloped. To do otherwise would be to lose its prestige as a great power.--Den­ ver Republican. If our understanding of the matter be correct the United States Government has served notice on Great Britain that the Monroe doctrine will for the future be asserted--and ..? maintained--with promptitude and vigor;,'.that European encroachment on American soil will be forbidden; that the Corinto in^ideh^iwill not be repeated, arid that the' p¥8){kfsed looting of Venezuela must be indefinitely postponed. The only question thj^Tnoed concern us, therefore, is, thatj'.^f, qtriet compliance with <our^<ferftUiJ^We are always glad to hcar fopm England, of course, but we Can wait She must keep hands off in Venezuela,' that is all;-- Washington Post.

A rather unique device is in use by a San Francisco railway to overcome a 25 per cent, grade on an electric line. _ "There are two tracks on this grade for cars going in different directions. On J the grade there is a conduit like that ( for cable roads, and it contains an end- , less cable passing over pulleys at the , two ends. An up-going and down-going j car are attached to this cable by the men stationed at the grades, and the • two cars then work together by the use of their own motors, the one going down hill assisting the one which is going up. Tlie system was tested*a,few- weeks^ ago'for the first tinie and was found to operate successfully. It has since been working to perfect satisfac­ tion. : It was found that the power of the down-going car is far more than Is necessary for hauling the ascending car under any possible conditions of load. " * ...rx A BronaO Catamount. v A statue in bronze of a catamount is to be erected on a granite pedestal to mark the site of the old tavern at Ben­ nington, Vt., in which were held the councils of military and State officers in revolutionary days. The tavern had a swinging signboard, on which was painted a catamount, as an emblem of defiance to the British" lion. s>. Big Regular Army. The mightiest host of this sort is the army of invalids whose bowels, livers, and stom­ achs have been regulated by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. A regular hauit of body is brought about through using the Bitters, not by' violently agitating ..and griping the in­ testines, but by re-enforeing their energy aud causing a How of the bile Into its proper chauuei. Malaria, la grippe, dyspepsia, and a tendency to inactivity of the kidneys, are conquered by the Bitters. London Eats 1,000 Hogs a Day.

HOW A PITTSFIELD, ILL., GEN TLEMAN OVERCAME IT. This Condition Often Induces Paraly­ sis aud Should Have the Best of Treatment. , From the Democrat, Pittsfleld, 111, Mr. Valentine Smith, a farmer living in this county, whose postoffice address is Pittsfield, 111., for the good of humanity in general, and especially for the benefit of any who may be afflicted as he was, wishes to make the following statement with reference to the great benefit he has received from using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People: His statement is as follows: "About a year ago I was living in the Mississippi bottom near the river, and 1 had become very much broken in health, suffering greatly from a distention or hardening of the lower part of the abdomen or bowels* besides being troubled with my kidneys aUd other complications, Avhich rendered .my case, as 1 had supposed, almost help­ less. 1 had been in this condition, al-. though of course not as bad ,as I was a year ago, for something over six years, 'and had about given up all hope of ever being a well man again, when, by the many testimonials and advertisements I had read with reference to the wonderful cures perfectedy by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, 1 was induced to give them a trial. After taking two boxes 1 began to feel greatly relieved, and by the time I had used up five or six boxes I was completely cured and have been, com­ paratively speaking, a well man ever since. During all the time that I suffered with this dreadful disease, which 1 am unable to name, 1 passed many sleepless nights and was in great distress almost continually and was able to do but little Work. Now 1 sleep and eat well, and. although I am sixty-one years of age. 1 am able to do a good day's work on the farm, having put in and tended eight acres of corn this season, besides doing a large amount of other work on the farm, in short, 1 think your medicine aggreat bless­ ing to humanity and can cheerfully recom­ mend it to all suffering as 1 was. 1 had been in this condition six or seven years, and had given everything I HHrTd hear of, doctors included, a fair trial, but could get-no relief. "VALENTINE SMITH." Subscribed and sworn to before me this 4tli day of June, A. 1). 1SD5. MINNIE CO LEY, Notary Public. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo­ ple are considered an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis. St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu­ ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration; all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregulari­ ties, and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. Dr. Wil­ liams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50--they are never sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady.

Canada's Weak Defenses. It is learned in highest military cir­ cles that important changes are to be made regarding the existing arrange­ ments for the defense of Canada, as a result of the recent change of govern­ ment in England. A short time ago Maj. Foster, of the royal engineers, was sent to Canada by the British government to make a thor­ ough examination into the defenses and military organization of the Dominion. In company with Quartermaster Gen­ eral Lake this officer has just returned from the Pacific coast. It is now pointed out that while Great Britain has never requested Canada to contribute towards the maintenance of the British army of navy, the Domin­ ion government last session decided to cut down the drill of the militia to half time, and that parliament accordingly was only asked to vote sufficient money to drill the city corps eight days each year". This is not in accordance with the conditions upon which the British gov­ ernment handed over all its military property in Canada at the time of con­ federation to the Dominion govern­ ment. when it was agreed that.Canada should expend not less than $1,000,000 a year on her defenses and military or­ ganization. The appearance of an officer of the British army now in Canada taking stock for the purpose of reporting the actual condition of affairs has caused quite a stir in government circles.--- Ottawa telegram to New Y'ork World.

It is a victory over the lower passions of men, a triumph of conscience. For once the better element in human nature has scored a knockout.--Kansas City Journal. Corbett and Fitzsimmons have made costly nuisances of themselves. But if the curtain which drops on them is never to be raised again on prize fighting they will have been of some use in the world, --Cleveland Plain Dealer. But another tight was fought aud won. It was the fight between the United States of America aud Corbett and Fitz­ simmons, and for once the I'nited States came off victorious. It was a bigger bat­ tle than even these great names indicate. For it was a fight between civilization and barbarism.--St. Paul Pioneer-Press. The inability of the wealthy managers of the Florida Athletic Club to find a law­ ful battleground for the Corbett-Fitzsim­ mons prize fight is proof positive that pro­ fessional pugilism has received its death blow in this country. Public sentiment is against these exhibitions, not alone because of their brutality, but by reason of the thugs and rowdies which make up the greater part of the people who support them. No respectable community cares to be invaded by such an element.--New York Ilerald. John Sherman's Book. The tendency of John Sherman's book is to cause a toppling movement on the part of certain monuments.--St.. Louis Globe- Democrat. The only moral that can be drawn from the present book is the saddening picture it presents of the littleness of human greatness.--Kansas City Times. We fear John Sherman has failed to recollect some of the most interesting events in his career. There is his terrific war on the Pullman company, for in­ stance.--Washington Post. Senator Sherman is an able, wise, man aud a statesman of long and ripe expe­ rience, but he seems to have forgotten Job's desire "that mine adversary had written a book."--Indianapolis Journal. The book is a kind of history of the Re­ publican party, of its periods of success, and of its failures, too. Sherman has tried to be frank, and once or twice be is abusive of public men.--New York Jour­ nal. Those who know Senator Sherman arc well aware that he has a long memory for injuries received. He may apparently forgive what he conceives to be treachery to his interests, but he never forgets. That Indian trait in his eomposotion is displayed in his book.--Cleveland Plain- dealer. We have great respect and admiration for Senator Sherman; but, until proof to the contrary is produced, we shall "fear that he has made the mistake, in this in­ stance, of promulgating a charge which' rests on no firmer ground than suspicion born of personal disappointment.--Mil­ waukee Sentinel. Reports to the United States surgeon general of the Marine hospital service in­ dicate that during the present epidemic of cholera in Japan there have been- 2,706 cases and 28,513 deaths. These reports agree in saying that the disease was un­ usually virulent this year in certain dis­ tricts, almost all the cases proving .fatal. It is believed that- the epidemic has reached its climax and now is declining. No form of free transportation and no private cars will be allowed on the new train- of the Atchison road to California. This same action has been taken in re­ gard to a number of trains on Eastern roads, and the Atchison was forced to adopt it of run the risk or naving all its nonpaying passengers use the train to the exclusion of paying passengers. nrtlU'X Miss THIS!

Robert Louis Stevenson used to tell this story of his early days: He was entering in an absent-minded way the famous second-hand bookshop of James Stillie when he ran into a fumbling old gentleman who was leaving the estab­ lishment. The latter exclaimed in an angry tone: "Man, can you not look where you are going?" Stevenson apologized for his awk­ wardness, and was then confronted by Mr. Stillie. who was also excited. The bookseller exclaimed: "The creature has been trying to make out that an old book I sold him is spurious! He may be able to write, but he knows nothing about black letter books. He's the most disagreeeable customer that ever entered my shop." "Who is he?" asked Stevenson. "Oh. that's the great Mr. Carlyle," was the answer.
