FAMILY AVOIDS
SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied With
Thedford’s Black-Draught*
McDuff, Va.—“I suffered for several
years,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, of
this place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did,
and I found it to be the best family medi
cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
time now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, and has been Found to regu
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
It has been in constant use tor more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than a million people.

WORLD OWES DEBT TO WOMAN
Fostering or Agriculture Has 3»en
From tte 3eginrmg of Time in
Female Hands.
Agriculture 'oday iepends chiefly
apo-' he work of the primeval woman
We ir»> indebted to 'he nomad's wife
for he greatest of all economic serv
ices She tamed the young of the
more 'amable animals, gave them to
her savage husband, and made of him
the nore civil herdsman who for
ages allowed his flocks after the man
ner of Jacob and iajt and Job This
fertile wife of the nomad became the
wife of farmers, and she made a farmer
of her son by placing in his band the
precious seed of the grains, the pres
ent basis of agriculture, the bread of
man, and the concentrated food of at!
our domestic animals
Where did this ancient mother get
these precious 3««ds ? In many cades
we do not. know, and cannot, even
guess 3he found some plant with
one or two rich seeds, planted 'hem.
and then, generation after generation
her descendants picked over 'heir lit
tle grain patches, selecting seeds to
be preciously preserved from 'he har
vest festival to 'he next spring
planting fasti -»!. which we now call
Easter By 'b s process running on
through unknow*, generations of m«n
the plants becare -o changed by th»
artificial appffca' on of Darwin's law
of selection that now no botanist, dares
suggest what plant or plants w°re the
wild forebears of some of the present
grains from which he world today ob
tains its bread
We are Indebted to ‘his cave or
tent dwelling woman But shall we
accept her work as final ’ Can science
do no better than follow along the
path she laid out * The fact, that ag
ricultural science is today doing lit
tle mors than ‘his is one of the pa
thetic Illustrations of the smallness of
our view —Prof J. Russell dmitti, in
Harper's Magazine.
]N HOUSES OF CORNSTALK
Primitive Dwelling Places That Are
Occupied by the Poorest Class of
Egyptian Peasants.
On the outskirts of Alexandria we
passed numerous groups of Bedouins,
camping by the side of the Mahmou
dieh canal Out in the fields men and
women, dressed alike in the loose cot
ton gown of the country, were busily
at work. The fields were dotted with
curious doorless structures made of
cornstalks They are used as tempo
rary homes at certain seasons of the
year, as, for instance, when the crops
are being gathered.
Later on I entered one, and found
It to be not more than five feet
square; one could not stand upright
Inside. The place contained nothin*
but a few jars and cooking utensHa.
In the winter the occupants wrap
themselves up in their clothes at
night, covering the heads also, but
leaving the feet bare. The hut I saw
was occupied by a man and his son.
These people, of course, are the fel
lahoen—the peasants—the pure Egyp
tian of the poorest class.—Christian
Hereald. ,
13,000 Miles of Silver.
The greatest money count In the his
tory of the United States Is now on.
Every ptece of money In the country's
billion-bulging treasury must be han
dled and each security fingered. A
corps of men—the most expert money
counters iu the world—will Work at
the task day and night, but It will
take them sixty days to finish it
There ai*e 156,708,960 silver dollars
alone In this vast sum. Much of the
ooln counting Is done by weighing, but
there Is an ingenious machine which
digests silver dollars, quarters and
halves and counts them as fast as a
m*n mn turn the handle. If the sll
ver dollars were stacked one on top
of another, they would tower 836
miles high. If they could be laid in
a continuous line, each touching the
other, the silver horde would stretch
out for a distance of 13,000 miles —
Robert D. Heini in Leslie’s.
Egyptian Justice.
In ancient Egypt all court business
was carried on in writing, in order
that the decision might not be in
fluenced by oratory or personal ap
peal. The laws lay before the judges
upon a table, and the accuser declared
in writing how he had been injured,
whereupon the defendant stated in
writing what he had to say. Then
came a rejoinder from each party to
the case, after which the Judges de
liberated among themselves until they
bad hit upon the proper legal penalty
for the party who had In the mean
time been adjudged guilty. This point
being reached the president of the
Judges touched with an Image of
Thmel, the "Goddess of Truth." the
manuscript of the guilty pleader and
the case was over.
The President.
The president of the United .Rates
has nothing whatever to do with the
making of the laws of the Individual
states or of the United States. He is
purely and simply the national execu
tive, his business being to carry out
the laws that are made by the con
gress. ih order to be able to make
laws the preaideut would need to be
- an absolute monarch, like the czar of
Russia or the Sultan of Turkey. As
it is he ts simply the head servant of
the people, with his duties clearly laid
down in the constitution, and froi^
which he cannot deviate. Instead
making the laws the laws are mads
by the legislative servants of the peo
ple for him to execute.

MG MAM-FLY GN MONUMENT
Great Commotion at Capital on Re
port That New Yorker Was
Scaling Shaft.
Rumors that, a New York “human
fly,” who has been scaling office build
ings In that city, was climbing the
side of the 555-foot. Washington monu
meilt, gave thl3 city no end of excite
ment the other day
Someone discovered a black spot on
tbe side of the shaft, about 150 feet
from tbe top, and then the report
started.
Hundreds rushed toward the monu
ment grounds, a half mile from the
center ef the city. Along Pennsyl
vania avenue crowds collected at ev
ery corner and windows and door
ways rapidly filled with people.
Newspaper photographers, who
were early on the scene, and other
investigators brought jyik word that
the supposed figure o111* *■ BPot
left by last night’s heagty rain; but up
to an earlv hour gazers on Pennsyl
vanla avenue still insisted they could
see the figure move.
The war department, which con
trols the monument, wa3 besieged
-with , telephone calls.
Nearly three hours after the first
explanation a telephone message from
the caplto! said that congressmen
were watching the spot through opera
glasses, and were convinced it occa
sionally moved a little.
Has No Jurisdiction.
One of Representative Kahn's Cali
fornia constituents wrote to him not
long ago Inclosing blue prints of s de
vice he had thought up for “scrutinis
ing heavenly bodies," as he put It,
He wished to have an appropriation
of a million dollars or so from con
gress to perfect his devlca, so that the
humblest citizen could know Just
what Is going on In Mars and various
celestial points.
Kahn didn’t like to offend the mas
with a flat refusal of congress to ap
propriate this money, and he put it t*
him like this:
“We have gone over the situatloa
carefully, and the best lawyers among
us are of the opinion that we can do
nothing for the reason that congress
has no jurisdiction over heavenly
bodies.”
