“The Liver Pills act
So Naturally and
Easily.”
Such a statement, coming from
the cashier of a bank, shows what
confidence responsible people have
in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson
after trying them wrote:
"I have used Dr. Miles’ Nerve
and Liver Pills and also your
Anti-Pain Pills, on myself, with
good results. The Liver Pills
act so naturally and so easily
that I scarcely know that I
have taken a pill. Frequently
being troubled with headache I
take an Anti-Pain Fill and get
Immediate relief in every case.”

of years cashier of the First

A traveler
Journeyed more than

two or three farms in all tha
tance.
“During all this time,” he says tn
the Youth's Companion, "I had not
s?en a sapling as big as a stalk of cat

rounded us on every side. Dust storms
swept down from their scarred sides.
Distant gleams of glittering ice from
the glaciers dazzled us when the sun
shone upon them.
“But here, In a land where there is
almost no fuel, and where few crops

POPE’S HEAVY MAIL BAG
His Holiness Gets Greater Number or ,
Missives Than Any King or
Executive.
If one were asked to speculate as to
the sovereign whose dally mall bag
was the greatest one would hazard
the kaiser. But no. Then most will
say It ought to be. On on unim
peachable authority of a Paris con
temporary w’e learn that the pope Is (
the recipient of the greatest number ,
of missives. {
The mail of his holiness consists ;
on the average of 23,000 letters, news
papers, etc. To go through this mass
35 secretaries are kept employed.
The president of the United States
receives nearly 1,000 letters dally and <
about 4,000 journals and books. <
The kaiser’s mail consists of 4,000 <
letters and frequently the same num
ber of books and papers. Our king,
we learn, Is favored with 1,000 letters
a day and over 2,000 newspapers and
books.
The czar is not overworked In this
respect for a sovereign, his majesty’s
mall being given at 650 letters, etc.,
per day. The kings of Italy and
Spain have to deal with about 200
letters each.
j Queen Wllhelmlna Is still more fa-!
vored with 150 letters, etc. But Pres- j
ldent Fallieres Is still more fortunate, j
for we are told that he receives few ! \
letters and hardly any papers.—Lon-! 5

Badge of Servitude.
Would-be artlstocrats In America '
who are wont to decorate the hats of
their coachmen with cockades ore
probably Ignorant of the fact that from ]
a European standpoint the cockade Is
only used to show that the wearer Is a 1
servant of royalty. Across the water !
the cockade can be legally worn only j
by servants of royalty, Including naval j
and military officers, diplomatists, lieu-'
tenants, deputy lieutenants and high .
sheriffs of counties. As worn by these,
the color is black. The black cockade : j
was introduced iu England by the j I
house of Hanover, although previous J
thereto it had been worn in various j
colors. A scarlet cockade was In i
vogue during the time of Charles I
His son adopted white, the badge of
the Jacobites, while orange was the
j color of William of Orange. Orange
remains the color in the Netherlands.
Black and white is the color in Ger
many, black and yellow in Australia,
| tricolor in France, scarlet in Spain,
I blue and white in Portugal—that is
before the revolution—and black, red
and yellow in Belgium. The word
“cockade” comes from the French "co- j
cerde,” originally applied to the feath- i
efs of the ceck worn by Croatian sol
diers serving in the French army.

Chinese Will Take Part.
Dresden Is planning for an exposl- j
! tiun devoted to the cause of hygiene,
sports and their allied Interests. Ac
cording t.o advance information this
exposition, which hitherto has not
been very much talked about, Is likely
to surprise by its perfection of detail
and architectural beauty—as might be
expected of Dresden.
That the exposition will be world
wide in its scope is evinced by the
fact that the executive committee has
Just received plans from the Chinese
for the erection of an imposing Chi- ;
nese section. It is proposed to erect
a large hall for this purpose, and an
imposing pagoda will be erected as a
demonstrate of Chinese architec
tuxal development. >
There is a good deal of satis
faction experienced in paying a
plumbing bill for first-class
work. A feeling of content \
should remain. Nor should the
bill be excessive. If you would
have these, get my figures on
your work.
