i Its Cause and How to Cure it.

Eat too much,
Stomach feels bloated,
All out of sorts,
Don’t feel like work to-day. Guess
I’ve another case of biliousness.
“Take anything?”
“Yes; some pills, but no results; sup
pose I’m getting ironclad. Sometimes I
double the dose, then they physic me so
hard I’m too weak to work. Think I’ll
have to try something new.”
“Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters?”
“No; I’ve heard a good deal about it,
but never tried it.”
“Well, you’ll be pleased with the re
| suits.”
The purgative action of Prickly Ash
| Bitters not only removes hard impac
tions, gas and impurities, but it strength
j ens the muscular action of the boweli
which causes them to move regularly.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a bowel tonic
and regulator in the truest sense. It
promotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Blackwelder, of Litchfield, 111,, says
the Litchfield Nevus: ‘‘lam perfectly willing, in
fact glad to testify to the value of Prickly Ash
Bitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach
and bowels. I have used it whenever I needed
anything of the kind for the last fifteen years
and it has always given satisfaction.”

WHAT WE OWE TO WOMEN
Ever They Have Been the Makeie
of the Heme and Providers
of Comfort.
Social progress with primitive wom
an was stimulated and encourages by
their relation to home life, to dress
snd to manners. We have already
alluded to the women as the authors
of the home or shelter. It ts the ?«•
male bird that makes the nest, the
female mammal that digs the burrow
lor her young and the female bee that
makes the honeycomb as a home for
hers. The human female more than
ill the rest created her home. But
not only is this truo, but she differen
tiated the home, and all pants of the
moet elaborate establishment were
instituted by her or on her account.
The first homes were cheerless
?ares. Fire could not be made in
them because of the smoke, so worn
sought out a cave with an opening
rn the rear, or a rock shelter with a
nigh curved roof. When she became
i dweller in a tent she searched for
the oldest wood, learned the myste
ries of the fuel problem and even in
dented the coral to induce the wind
to draw a little of the smoke there
from and to increase ber comfort.
To the women of the household we
tre indebted for the oven, the chim
ney and th© chimney corner, the
kitchen, the dining rcom. the family
-oom, the separate bed chamber. It
oas been a wonderful evolution, re
sulting in comfort, taste and morality

WORLD 0\A £S DEBT TO WOMAN
-Catering of Agriculture Has Been
From the Beginning of Time in
Female Hands.
Agriculture today depends chiefly
upon the work of the primeval woman.
'W 1 are indebted to the nomad’s wife
for the greatest of all economic serv
ici's. She tamed the young of the
mere tamable animals, gave them to
ht .■ savage husband, and made of him
t!1. more civil herdsman who for
ag. followed his flocks after the man
ner of Jacob and Lot and Job. This
fertile wife of the nomad became tiie
w ife of farmers, and she made a farmer
of her son by placing in his hand the
precious seed of the grains, the pres
ent basis of agriculture, the bread of
man, and the concentrated food of all
our domestic animals.
Where did this ancient mother get
these precious seeds? In many cases
j we do not know, and cannot even
guess. She found some plant with
one or twro rich seeds, planted them,
and then generation after generation
her descendants picked over their lit
tle grain pat-hes, selecting seeds to!
be preciously preserved from the har
vest festival to the next spring
planting festival, which we now call
j Easter. By this process running on
through unknown generations of men,
the plants became so changed by the
artificial application of Darwin’s law
. of selection that now no botanist dares
Buggest what plant or plants were the
wild forebears of some of the present
. grains from which the world today ob
! tains its bread.
We are indebted to this 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
j ricultural science is today doing lit
tle more than this is one of the pa
thetic Illustrations of the smallness of
our view.—Prof. J. Russell Smith, in
Harper’s Magazine.
IN 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 nothing
but a few jars and cooking utensils.
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
laheen—the peasants—the pure Egyp
tian of the poorest class.—Christian
Hereald.
13,000 Miles of 8llver.
The greatest money count in the his
tory of the United States is now on.
Every piece of money in the country’s
MUlon-bulging treasury must be han
dled and each security fingered. A
corps of men—the most expert money
counters in the world—will Work at
the task day and night, but It will
taka them sixty days to finish it.
There are 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
man can turn the handle. If the sil
ver dollars were stacked one on top
of another, they would tower 835
miles high. If they could be laid in
a continuous line, each touching the
other, the silver horde would stretch
i out for a distance of 13,000 mlleB.—

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
had 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
Thmei, the “Goddess of Truth,” the
manuscript of the guilty pleader and
the case was over.
The President.
The president of the United .Itates
has nothing whatever to do with the
making of the laws of the individual
states'or of the United States. He iB
purely and simply the national execu
tive, his business being to carry out
the laws that are made by the con
gress. In order to be able to make
laws the president would need to be
an absolute monarch, like the czar of
Russia or the Sultan of Turkey. As
it is, he is simply the head servant of
the people, with his duties clearly laid
down in the constitution, and from
which he cannot deviate. Instead of
making the laws the laws are made
by the legislative servants of the peo
ple for him to execute
