8 OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE FRIDAY JUNE 20, 1 00:t wmm seen a noise I it The mother says to herself sometimes. "I can hardly endure it." Then a chill creeps over her as she thinks of the aw ful silence wlucn talis upon me nonie , when children are taken away, and she is glad her children are hardy of body ad lusty of lungs. When a child does not enjay noisy ports and games there is something wrong, and that something will often be found to be a lack of nutrition adequate to the needs of youth and growth. The stomach is "weak," digestion is imper fect, and so the nourishment of the body is inadequate. In such cases Dr. Pierce's Golden Vedical Discovery works wonders. It changes puny, fretful children into healthy, happy girls and boys. The process by which this change is ac complished is strictly along the Hues marked by Nature. All growth and strength come from food when it has been digested, converted into nutrition and assimilated. "Golden Medical Dis covery " cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutri tion, and so enables the body to obtain without loss or waste the benefit of the nutrition provided in food. The " Dis covery" contains no alcohol and is en tirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. A Wonderful Thing, I hare been thinking of writing to ran far easnc time, writes Mrs. W. D. Benson, of Max too, Robeson Co., N. C. "to let you know what a wonderful thing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery did for my little boy. He was taken with indigestion when he was a year and a halt Id and he tu under the doctor's treatment lor are lone years. We spent all we made for doc tor's bills.' and it did no good. He could eat only a tittle milk and cracker, and some times even tbia would mske him sick. He could not sit up all day, and I gave up all hope of his ever (retting- any better. Three years ago I found one of jour books, snd on looking it over one day I noticed Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery recommended for indigestion. We bought some and gave it to our bov. He had been treated at Hoods by a good doctor and at Bennetts viUe. S. C. and at Carrie snd Lumberton and Maxton, and was only relieved for a short time. We (rave him two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it cured him. He is well aa can be snd can eat anything that he wants and it does sot hurt him. ' He has not been sick a day since snd it has been three years since he took your medicine. A Thankful Mother, I have felt it my duty for a long time, writes Mrs. Mollie Jones, of Gap. Comanche Co., Texas, to tell you of the wonderful cure etTected by oar ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and ' Pleasant Pellets ' in the case of our little boy. now nearly mn vears old. When he wss two months old he was taken with La Grippe, and it settled on sua lungs and in his throat His tonsils en larged, and when he was two years old we had the doctor operate on them. Then we had the doctor take his tonsils out and he made bad work of k. If he went in the wind he would be sk-k, and we tried everything we could hear of and consulted every physician we saw, but they did not know what to' do. When be was early six years old (in October, 1898) he was worse than ever, and I could not rest for being ao uneasy about him. He wss our fourth boy (the other three were desd), and it seemed to ase that if he died I just could not bear it. I would go to sleep crying and begging God to pare bim. Well. I could see he was getting so much worse; he was just as poor as he could be, nd his kidneys had been troublesome sll his life. I had read a book about Dr. Pierce's medi cine. It seemed to me that this was the very snedicin- we wanted, and I told my husband that if he would buy some of Dr. Pierce's med icine 1 felt almost sure it would help our hoy. He aent .nd got some and we commenced with the 'Golden Medical Discovery' on Friday night, and with the ' Pellets' the next morning. We gave him your medicine three times a day nd by Sunday he was able to play, and in one month from the time he commenced taking it he had gained six pounds and his couyh was all gone. He has not coughed any since, and he don't take cold anv more than "the rest of us. He goej alioiit like the ret of the children and plays in the cold and hot weather.

Sugar was made In India and Arabia In the earliest times, but It was not brought Into Europe until the Inva sions of the Mohammedans Into the countries around the Mediterranean sea, lu the seventeenth century. The Moors cultivated the -cane In the coun tries of north Africa, and they intro duced it into Spain. The Spaniards, about 1510, planted sugar canes In their West Indian possessions, whence It spread through Spanish America and into the French province of Louisiana. The cane was the original source of sugar, and so remained up to the time of the Napoleouto wars in Europe. The ports of France were so closely block aded by the British fleets that It was Impossible to secure sugar from an tropical countries, and Napoleon as sembled' the chemists In Francs and commissioned them to discover some means of making sugar out of material found in the country, at the same time offering a large reward. This proceed ing resulted in the production of sugar from the beet New Orleans Picayune. DAVID GARRlCK. Til Great Actor's Art and Hla Wife's Rattled Feelings. Mrs. Garrick's admiration of her hus band's dramatic talents was Intense, and on his great nights she would bang over her box, next the stage. In rap turous delight The one flaw In her idol, she claimed, was a taste for low life, for which she blamed him greatly, insisting that he loved better to play Scrub to a low lived audience than one of his superior characters before an audience of taste. On one particular occasion she was in her box in the theater when Gar rick's Impersonation of Diehard 111. was applauded to the echo. In that day a farce followed the tragedy of the evening, and as Mrs. Garrick rose to leave before it her husband came to the box to say be had some business in the greenroom which would detain him, so most unwillingly the lady was obliged to acquiesce and remain through the closing entertainment This proved to be a comical series of blundering adventures which bad be fallen a countrjman who bad left bis farm to see London and on his return gave his neighbors an accouut of the wonders he had met This characterization was received with such peals of applause that Mrs. Garrick, ever zealous of her husband's fame, began to think it rivaled those lutely lavished on Richard III. Her feelings were nearly worked up to fe ver heat when she was attracted by the frantic efforts of her little spaniel dog to overleap the balcony that sepa rated him from the stage, when she immediately became nware of the truth that the actor was Garrick and ex claimed, "Strange that a dog should know his master when the woman who loved him best in the world could not pierce his disguise." Wealth In Lapland. What the buffalo was to the Indian the reindeer is to the Lapps. At the present day the wealth of a Lapp Is calculated In reindeer. Thus, when the people speak of a man's estate they say, "He Is worth ho many deer." Those who have only fifty or sixty bead are poor servants, and their deer are put with those of their "betters." To have any kind of social standing In Lapland one should possess at least 5'X) of these animals. A Lapp Is considered well off when he Is the happy owner of not less than 1.000 reindeer.

Oar Mones Unlit I la Arches. The principle of the arch may be said to pervade the construction of the hu man skeleton. The late Professor Owen points this out very clearly, telling us that lu man the skeleton is arranged in a scries of segments, which follow and articulate with each other in the direction of the axis of the body from above downward. This principle accounts for the strength and yet comparative lightness of the whole fabric. From the dome of the skull dowu to the graceful arch of the foot we may trace this succes sion of tMiny hoops or arches, which ad mirably protect the various parts of the nervous and vascular systems of the body. The skull is found to be but continuation of the backbone, and each of Its four segments, the occipital, parietal, frontal and nusai, consists of on upper neural and a lower hemal arch. Similar arched formations pre vail throughout the structure of a hu man skeleton. A Venire ladnatrjr. Venice owes the accumulation of great wealth from a new industry to one of her natives named Joquln. It was in the year lfilcl that he observed that the scales of a fish called the bleakflsh pussesetl the property of giv ing a milky hue to water. After exper lmentlug with It he discovered that when beads were dipped Into it and then dried tiny assumed the appear ance of pearls. This covering, however, was easily worn away, and successive experiments led to the manufacture of hollow glass beads, all blown separate ly, then polished in revolving cylinders and finally coated Inside with the pearly liquid, the latter being protected with wax. This branch of Industry it carried on In Venice to this day. A Sad inikrnlsi. In one of Theodore Hook's stories the bridegroom, di parting with his bride for their honeymoon.

"It is noth ing, darling." answers (he bride sweet ly. "It Is only my wooden leg." Only that and nothing more. She had got accustomed to It from long use, but the information put him out exceedingly and caused a coolness which wus per maneut True Happiness. The best sort of happiness Is rarely visible to the multitude. It lies hidden In odd corners and quiet places, and the eager world, which presumably is seek ing It hurries past and never recog nizes it but continues to mistake for It prosperity and riches, noise and laugh ter, even fame and mere cheap noto riety.
