Art Yon Engaged?
. Engaged people should remember that,
after marriage, many quarrels can be
avoided, by keeping their digestions in
good condition with Electric Bitters. S.
A. Brown of Benncttsville, S. C, sayst
"For years, ray wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with a tor;
pid Brer, until she lost her strength an
vigor, and became a mere wreck of her
former self. Then she tried Electric
Biters, which helped her at once, and
finally made her entirely well. She is
now strong and healthy." Chas. Rogers,

CHINESE OFFICALS.
A Chinese mandarin is not expected
to have any friendship or intimacies
outside of his oflice, and he cannot en
courage visitors within its precincts
without laying himself open to a charge
of favoritism or corruption. If the in
habitants of a district wish to show
their appreciation of an official's ad
ministration and testify to his probity,
the most effective way in which they
can do so it to wait upon him at one
of the city gates as he makes hi fare
Veil exit and beg the gift of the offi
cial boots, which are thenceforwards
preserved in some temple as public property.
WHY IS IT?
'"It is a somewhat curious tng," ob
served a commercial traveler, "that even
the most fastidious individual who will
reject with indignation a tumbler that
has been used by another diner at
hotel, will not haulate to drink out of
a cup or glass on a railway train, al
tiiough it may have been used by thou
sands of persons, many of them of not
over cleanly habits. The same thing
applies to the persons who ue the ice
water coolers in public buildings or ho
tels. Why then should so much fasti
diousness he displayed by persons at a
hotel or other table as to the use of a
tumbler from which a single person had
previously drank!"

HIGHWAYS.
The value of good wagon roads is not
appreciated in this country says an east
ern exchange. We are great railroad
builders, but we sadly neglect that
equally important item, good wagon
roads. It frequently co-ts the farmer
as much to get his grain to the station,
a distance of a few miles, as to trans
port it half across the continnent to
market. A county will isHUe bonds to
help build a railway which it may not
need, yet consider that it has done all
that is necessary when it compels the
able-bodied citizens to stand in the
wagon ways and talk politics a couple
of days each year.
The American method of "improv
ing" a road is about as follows: A
man is elected road oven-eer who could
not tell a culvert from a Chinese pagoda-knows
no more of road building
than a dray horse does of trigonometry,
lie summons the citizens to come forth
on a certain day and "work the roads."
A few of them come with scrapers and
shovels. They paw around in the dirt
for a day or two, each man according to
his own ideas, and the last state of that
road is infinitely worse than the first.
The result is that it requires four horses
to do the work of one when the farm pro
duce is to be hauled to market. The
old Romans did these things differently.
They realized that good roads were of
vastly more importance to a community
than fine buildings. The highways they
constructed are good after twenty cen
turies of wear and tear.
The poorest countries of Europe have

Doctors Said He Would Not Uve.
Peter Frey. of Woodruff. Pa., writes!
"After doctoring for two years with the
best physicians in Waynesburg, and still
jetting worse, the doctors advised me if
I had any business to attend to I had bet
ter attend to it at once, as I could not
possibly live another month, as there was
no cure for me. Foley's Kidney Cure
was recommended to me byafriend, and
I immediately sent my son to the- fe
tor it and after taking three bottles I be
gan to get better and continued to In
prove until I was entirely well."
