The people have long since learned that the most disagreeable medicines are not nec— essarily the best In fact, as a rule, they are not. What IS wanted is something mild and sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really pleasant to take when reduced with water and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged. everywhere to be the mast successful remedy in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any number of druggists for the best remedy they have for diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten will recommend Chamberlaian In speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B.

RODE A TANDEM. Superintendent Alee Cole’s Bicycle Ex- perience Last Evening. _ Last evening, just as the. employees were leaving the Merwin street sh1rt'I manufactory, Fred. S. Ambler rode up in front of the building on a tandem bicycle. Alee Cole 11 superintendent at the factory stood near by and A111- bler invited him to take a ride. He de- murred and said that he had never had 1 any experience on a bike. Ambler as- sured him that there was no possible chance of his receiving a fall. Finally he managed to ga1n a seat on one of the saddles and Ambler started the wheel in motion. All went smoothly and the crowd applauded. However, as they essayed to turn the corner the machine became frisky and gyrated first to the right and then to the left and finally made a dash for a tree which it struck and tumbled the riders 011' into the street. The crowd burst into laughter of cyclonic proportions. The riders picked themselves up and Am- bler remounting the wheel rode off leaving Alec to get home the best he could. Men and women ran to Alee’s assist- ance and with gentle hands brushed the dust from his clothes and tenderly i11- qu1red 1f he was hurt. “No! Noll” he replied and watching his opportunity dashed through the crowd for home. It was noticed that one leg of his trousers was ruptured from the knee down and one of the young ladies is pos- itive that she saw blood through the rent. He is walking a little lame to- day, but isn’t saying a word about bi- cycles. O Cheney Flags at St. Louis.

ENGLAND has developed a. taste for bananas, drawing its supply from the Canaries and from Madeira. , DURING 1894 the export trade of the United States amounted to $889,843,000, against $847,665,194 in 1893.

THE growing demand for small dogs is said to have developed a. new indus- try in Paris.

AN agreeable way of treating the eyes with salt and Water is to wink them in a cup that is brimful. The, eyes will be suffused by simply wink- ing the lashes in the water. GOOD laundry-women always rub their irons in salt to make them smooth before putting them upon fine starched goods; and it does clean them beauti- fully—better than wax. DAIRY salt sprinkled over the carpet will effectually lay the dust and will prevent. the sweeper using the carpet t’O‘g rOughly, and it will make the colors bright and last longer. A PINCH of powdered sugar and an- other of corn starch beaten' in with the yolks of eggs will keep an omelet from collapsing. Beat the whites stiff and then cut them into the yolks. A GOOD tonic for hair is salt water. Put a teaspoonful of salt in a. half pint Of water and rub a. little on the scalp every day with a. small soft cloth. The effect at the end of a. month will please you. COLORED prints and muslins, likely to fade when washed. can be “set” with salt and water, and ~ their pristine brightness never afterwards lost, no matter how hard the washing. This is especially true of blue, and mourning prints of white figures on a black ground so treated will be black to the end of the chapter. —-—Groccrs’ World. .-. ——An Affidavit.

Oflende: Rosana “Prosecution with aIBltlng Remark. ' “One of the funniest thing's- that ever happened during my connection with ‘ the Georgia judiciary was when I was first elected solicitor,” said Judge Griggs, of Atlanta, to a. Constitution reporter. “The demands of my position fre< quently put me in the position of prose- cuting a friend. It was hard, but I did it “An ex-sherifi of a. county in my cir- cuit—a fellow that I had known and liked for a long while—was prosecuted for making away with some money. It was an ugly charge. The evidence was conclusive againt him. “When I went downto court he came staggering into my rOOm about two- thirds drunk. ‘Jim,’ he said, ‘these in- fernal scoundrels‘ are trying to prose- cute me—perfect outrage. I told ’em just wait ’till'I saw Jim Griggs and we’d fix it—I told "em we'd let ’em know who to prosecute. - And we will, won’t we Jim?’ “I looked at him very gravely and said: ‘Tom, I’ve got a dead case against you. I’m going to prosecute you, convict you and send. you to the penitentiary. You are guilty. You got the money, and I’ve got the evidence to prove it.’ “He looked at me in perfect amaze? ment. He was dumfounded. He said I didn’t mean it. I told him I did. He straightened himself up and marched out without sword. “His case was the first one called after dinner. The judge asked him if he had any counsel. He Said no, and didn’t want any. He spoke in a half drunkenIfashion. ‘But,’ said the judge, ‘you are charged here with a. serious offense, and if you have no money to employ a lawyer I’ll appoint one for you.’ “The defendant didn’t like it. He arose with difficulty. He steadied him- self against a table, and, speaking in a maudlin fashion, said: “ ‘Yer honor, I said I don’t want no counsel, and I don’t want. none. I meant what I said. I don’t want—hie —take no "vantage of ze state. State ain’t got no counsel—what der I want with any?” .. SEA LAWYERS. They Are Dreaded More by the Com- 5" 4t; mander Than storm. 1 “The chief of all things on earth a sea. captain dreads' 15 the sea. lawyer” said an old, gray-haired commander to a Baltimore News reporter. “The ty- phoon of the China seas and the hurri- cane of the West Indies are bad, but they are not in it for raising a rumpus with the sea. lawyer. “The fellow I refer to as the ‘sea lawyer’ Iis the one or more sailors almost sure to creep into every fore- castle at one time or another, who, be- ing a. little better educated than his mates, becomes their leader and pro- ceeds to make himself solid with them, and a deadly enemy of the captain and ‘Oificers, by quoting maritime law to them that never existed and filling their heads with nonsense and imag- inary wrongs. He’ll tell them they must have ‘plum duif’ every day, ac- cording to law, and they’ll believe him, and raise cain if they don’t. get it. He’ll persuade them they are worked too hard, and every man Jack of them will desert the ship at her first port of call. He’ll make them believe they own the vess‘l before he gets half through with 1.5: cm, and will instigate a half dozen or more damage suits against the ship’s owners among them as soon as they set foot ashore. “The ‘sea lawyer’ is generally a sneaky fellow, who makes a steady practice of deceiving honest sailors and got-ting them into trouble and then leaving them. to get out as best they can. He is hated and dreaded by every captain afloat, and there’s only one way of arguing with him—that’s with a. be- laying pin. I’ve known more than one bloody mutiny to be stirred up by a 5” ‘sea lawyer. A, Freshest. News. Mr. Joseph Willard, for a. long time clerk of the superior court of Massa- chusetts in Boston, relates in his “Half aCentury with Judges and Lawyers” many good anecdotes. Col. Edward G. Park'er, who was rather pedantic, wrote a. life of Mr. Choate. He was relating an incident which happened in the third century before Christ, about the time of the death of Ptolemy III., and he appealed to John S. Holmes, who stood by. “Didn’t he die about that time, John?” “Who’s that that’s dead?” asked Holmes. “Ptolemy III. ,” said Parker. “What! What!” said Holmes, stretch- ing out his hands. “You don’t say he’s deadl” —Subscribe for THE Gaznrrn. FOR 8.4! E. 0R SALE—A broncho ponyl. suitable for children. Pricemeo.
