The people have long since learhed 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 most 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 Chamberlain’s. In speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B. Bufl‘um of Friendsville, Susquehanna Co, Pa., says: “We have used it in our family for sin in the stomach, cone and diarrhoea an found it to be a ‘most effective remedy.” For sale. by E.

Modern 'Clvlllzatlou Has Made ItIQulck, , Comfortableand Secure. In the Ladies’ Home Journal John Cilme‘r Speed writes entertainingly and instructively on the construction and Operation of railroads, under the cap- tion, “Running a Train at Night.” He prefatorily asserts that “the mOst re- markable achievements of modern civ- ilization, probably, are those which af- fect traveling, making it at once. quick, comfortable and secure. We cross states and cOntinents at the rate of '30 miles an hour, with greater security against accident than our grandfathers enjoyed in their stage coaches, and we have, even when on the cars, comfort-s unknown in the palaces of kings when our grandfathers’ grandfathers were young. During the year (from inter- state commerce commissioner’s report for year ending July 1, 1894), one pas- senger was killed for every 1,985,153 passengers. carried, and one- was in- jured for every 183,822 carried. This surely is as safe as living ordinary hum- drum lives in large cities.” The report further shows that a man’s chances against injury were: such that he would have to travel 4,406,659 miles before getting hurt, and go 47,- 588,966 miles before being killed. At the rate of 30 miles an hour a man could travel, if nature permitted, on Amer- ican railways for 181 years, without leaving the cars, before being killed, or with the same amount of security against accident he could go round the earth 1,903 times before meeting his death by accident, and 176 times before getting hurt. HELD IT IN THE FIRE. Medicine Man Proves His Powers to a Zulu King. Among the great characters of the Zulu is the medicine man. He uses his craft wholly by superstition, and states to his astonished people that the great spirit of the moon had revealed to him the cause of the complaint, whether it be sickness or crime. The great Dingaam was a chief who was a. terror to his medicine man. There was no punishment that was too severe but he would inflict it in an insin- uating way on the man of witchery. It is related that his confidential man and the great. medicine being of the whole Zulu tribe had come under his suspic- ion. He. was sent for by the king, who welcomed his witch doctor in cordial terms. A large fire was burning near by. The kingstatcd: ‘ “My man of medicine, your hands are cold; go nearer to the fire—nearer. Yes, the right hand is very cold. Put it into the fire.” _ Thus the poor man was obliged to keep his hand in that fire of white heat until the member had burned to a. crisp. The command of the king was supreme, and one indication of the pain would mean instant death. After the seeming . suspicion of the king had been gratified he stated that the hand was warm now and that all was well. . Ancient Makers of Shoes. J Shocmakers were at first called san- dal-makers, and there is little doubt that sandals and rough buskins, or socks (covering the legs like gaiters), were the first specimen of shoes. An Affidavit.
