When troubled with dysentery, dlurrham, eholic or cholera morbus, give this remedy a trial and you will be more than pleased with the result. The praise that naturally follows Its Introduction and use ha made It very popular. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Alexander-Cooper Di-ug Co. Social Life In Persia. The social life of Persia, says Hon. B. 0. W. Benjamin, Is conditioned on Its domestic life. Whatever society each sex enjoys n.ust be exclusively with members uf lis own sex, Women may glveeutertulument or visit, men may do the same, but on all such occasion only-one sex I represented. The In tcrchange of visits between Persian ladies Is attended by au etiquette sim ilar to tliut pructlced by the met), with somewhat more attention, perhaps, to serving and urging the guests to eat fruit and confectionery. But except among women of the highest rank, who huve private baths attached to their residences, the most Important soclnl factor umotig Perslun women Is Ilie public huth. There they assemble wlih their children, und ufter bathing unil having their long tresses dyed with henna and plulted In long braids, " i leli are gm.d for several days, they gather iu groups, making the exquisite embroidery for which they are famous, and exchanging the gossip of the neighborhood. Thus they plan tbe marrlnge of thcr children, retail the news they have had from their bus luxwL .1,1,1 luin'i, u-l.ut lu ilmr fin in , lh0 wnrid, adding to the means which they possess, In no les degree than !"" nropean sisters, for influencing 1)e tlll(la tutulmtH of tiie household and swaying the affairs of tbe uatlou. ThfV wH( Uituk the seciuitlou of or! eutal wottiHit resulU In a diminution of their Influence labor utidur a great mistake. If anything this seclusion sharpens their wits aud quickens their talent for Intrigue and the execution or deep-laid designs, aud the men are like putty In their hnds. OccAslonslly a Persian husband, In a paroxysm of rage or restive' under pet ticoat rule, may tenitiorarlly rebel sua vigorously assert himself, but be I soon reduced to subjection, and fair woman rescases ber away. Half tbe olvll wars of Persia have been due to the women. A man's social life in Persia begins with sunrise, after be has bad his early eup of coffee or tea, has said hi morn Ing prayer and issued from the aude- rooit or domestic spartments. Social life In that oouutry gives place at twl lliflit to domestic life. There Is, of course, uo visiting after dark, the whole city retiring, as It were, to the seclusion of tbe auderoon ami the streets booom lug deserted. Court Proceedings, PIUlMAT C0UKT.

' ' ' Lincoln's Simple Ways. An incident is related which shows how simple and klndhearted President Lincoln was and how he honored old friends. A youug nobleman was Just being presented to the president. In side the door, overawed by the splen did assemblage, was an honcst-fuced old funuer who shrank from the pass ing crowd until he and the plaln-fuced oki may clinging to ma arm were forced back to the wall. The president, looking oyer the heads of the assembly, suld to tbe nobleman: "Excuse me, my lord, there's an old friend of mine." Passing backward to the door Mr. Lin coln said, us he grasped tlio old farmer's hand: "Why, Johu, I am glad to see you. I haeti'tseeu you since you and I made mils for old Mr. Blank in San gamon county In 1847. How are you?" The old man turned to his wife with quivering Hp, end without replying to the salutation said: "Mother, he's Just the same old Abe.' Mr.' Lincoln," he snld finally, "you know wu hud three boys: they all enlisted In the same company. John was killed lu the seven days fight, Snm wns taken prls. oner and starved to death and Henry Is in the hoHpituI. We bad a little money aud I sabl: 'Mother, we'll go to Waah ' ington and see him. And while we're there we'll go up aud see the presl-f dent.' " Mr. Lincoln's eyes grew dim and across the rugged, homely, tender face swept the wave of sadness that hi friends hail learned to know, and he said: "John, we all hope this miserable war will soon be over. 1 must see all these folks here for an hour or so, and I want to talk with you."

You will flud very few persons who will disagree with the editor of tbe Christian Herald, who, In speakiug of church differences, says: " May the God of peace bring all our denominations into smooth waters,- It took only one Jonah to upset the entire Mediterranean sea, and oue minister out of tuue with his denomination will keep everything boiling like a pot from Princeton to Andovcr and from Mlddletown to Rochester. Peace, be still Whole ceuturles have been con sumed iu ecclesiastical battle. I do not know but what the whole world would have been converted before this, If the ammunition used against brethren had been used in fighting the common en emy. We hove had too mauy Big Bethel fights, regiments in tbe thick of the fog blazing away egalnst regiments of tbe same army. Let us all get Into the brigade with which we can the easier keep step, and march shoulder to shoulder to buttle and to triumph. 1 dou't know any one of tbe evangelical denominations today in which a min ister caunot offer sympathy, pardon, help, salvation and eternal lite to all the people. What more opportunity can any of us ask? A minister of re ligion may stand uuler auy of the de nominational banners in tbe presence of ten thousand people, all of them strangers, aud in perfect confidence say, 'Any man or woman In this crowd who will accept Jesus Christ us their Savior may have buppiuess and heaven.' Who wants more opportun ity than that? What's the use of try. lug to get ourselves hurt by putting our foot under the chariot wheel or running our heads against some fort ress wall or standing In front of some cannon that Is about to be touched off? The field Is the world aud it is whito to the harvest and waiting for many sickles " -'"' ' Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World' Pair Hlghwt Award, i DALLAS HSnCS. H. P.
