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.

BEET SUGAR.

Sugar us nn article- of food was not: If you are h:)Utv: for suncthlng Hint
known to the ancients. Mankind has will knock the alio e mentioned know
always exhibited the greatest fondness j Ing friend elf Ids le t. Just ask him the
f,v sweets, and I10111 the earliest times,
the demand was supplied by honey. j
The royal psalmist sets up honey and
the honeycomb as the highest standard
of material sweetness. A laud flowing!
with milk and honey was the picture
drawn by the most ancient poets to de -
scribe an earthly paradise, Romans of
the last days of the republic, and sub
sequently of the time of the empire,
who were at the same time the most
luxurious epicures and the grossest
feeders the world ever knew and
spared neither money nor exertion to
secure every delicacy possible for their
tables, had no knowledge of sugar, but
robbed the bees to obtain sweets for
their famous bouey cakes and other
Cotifeetlonery.
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.
