JUMBO'S HEART IS ON FILE.
KM
One of the greatest American millionaires
anec said U his physician, "A million dol
lars, Otn-tor, for a new stomach," and then
Uic sick man groaned and turned away.
Onr of a man's greatest pleasures is that
born of a keen appetite, vigorous digestion
ind a pood dinner, and this belongs to
mary a good fellow who is living on small
jv-wges, but the rich man wi' '.t a stomac 1
a. is to fort go the good th ftt f the table
because his stomach tebv. .. . Without a
health v stomach and a good digestion, our
bloo 1 is thin, watery and poor, our bean
ic.'.ioti is weak, our liver does not do its
Jutv. and man is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man is prey to the gem
ijf influenza, consumption, malaria and aii
;be ills that he is heir to. Consumption
:ti be treated by natural methods whicn
,are as close to nature as possible.
Dr R V. Pierce, chief consulting physi
r&n of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Insriuite, at Buffalo, N. Y., years ago un
derstood this disease, and after a long pe
riod of experiment discovered certain roots
ind herbs which were nature's remedies,
arid succeeded i putting them up in a
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use. This he called Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It gives no
false stimulation because it contains no
ileotaol and no narcotic. It helps diges
tion and the assimilation of such elements
in the food as are required for the blood.
Instead of a cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
opn rebellion, this tonic has a pacifying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives to the blood the food elements the
tissues require. It maintains the patient's
nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain,
digest and assimilate nutritious food. It
overcomes gastric irritability and symp
toms of indigestion, and in this way fever,
night - sweats, headaches, etc., are done
way with. It fortifies the body against
the germs of consumption, grip and ma
laria, and it builds up the tissues and puts
on healthy flesh.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is "just as good" as Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, he says so be
cause he hones to make a better profit,
but his own nixtures have not stood the
i"rt of long experience nor had the success
tfoat Dr. Pierce's medicines have had.
HINTS FOR BRIDEGROOMS.
there la Plenty of Advice for Brides,
But Not a Word for the
Poor Men.
A thoughtful young man of Wash
ington was heard to decry the other
day the fact that while there is a del
uge of "don'ts" and "dos" for the
bride to follow, the bridejrroom must
shift for himself, says the Post.
"There is absolutely nothing to
tilde a man but hit own awkward
self. It isn't fair." he said. "From
the time a girl is old enough to de
tect sound she understands the im
portance of having things done prop
erly at a wedding, while the prospect
ive groom is only something necessary
to complete the picture. Nothing
short of inspiration can get a man
through a marriage ceremony grace
fully. "In order to Impress the bride and
spectators that he It, enthusiastic
about it, be appears wHh a sort of
froen grin on his face that you ex
pect to melt at any moment and run
down his collar. If he is too fright
ened to respond In a loud voice some
of the bride's girl friends will whis
per that 'It was plainly evident he
was unwilling from the start.' Again,
if he replies in a loud, stern voice,
another bunch in another direction of
the church will huddle together and
express how glad they are that they
are not marrying him, while the ai
titule of many is that they are sign
ing away their life and all worth
living for. So I, for one, think it
high time that somebody wrote a few
hints on how to behave, that we men
may appear enthusiastic about being
married, without being ridiculous
and proving a target for the world
in general to knock at."
EXECUTION OF AN INDIAN.
Condemned to Death for Murder of
Brother-in-Law Faced His Fate
with Composure.
Daniel Davis was the name of the
julprit, and he was condemned to
i-ah for the murder of his brother-in-law,
pays the Coweta (I. T. ) Courier.
On thu lay of the execution his coffin
had twi-n placed on two chairs under
i big c:j.k tree, which still stands In
the old courthouse yard at Coweta.
He requested them to let him sue the
coffin, nnd he Mood by its side, gaaed
aadly into it, and said It was all right.
A chair was set at the bead of the
coffin; he took his seat, pulled off his
boots, and said he was ready. Capt.
Chllders, the sheriff now dead
pinned a small blue ribbon on the
lapel of Davis' vest over the heart.
The prisoner viewed all this with
composure and unoiio'rn. Two men,
one with a double-barreled shotgun
and the other a Spencer rifle, took
their places about 2) feet away. The
command was given, ready, aim, fire!
Both shots were simultaneous; the
91 ue ribbon was hit; a convulsive
rmor, and poor Daniel Davis was
no more. Old men wopt and many
were the tears that w?re shed for this
poor full-blood Indian who had taken
the life of his erring brother-in-law.
Call at the Gazette oSlce end learn of
our clubbing offr with the Weekly Ore-
Volta Both Iron and fcteol In Short
OrderBurns at Temperatur.
of 5,400 Degrees.
Humanity, which swelters in a heal
of 90 degrees, and withers and dies 11
the mercury runs up 10 or 13 degree:
higher, finds it hard to realize a heai
of 5,400 decrees. Yet, says the Brook
lyn Eagle, that is the heat developed
in the combustion of thermit, a heal
which welds togeuier pieces of th(
most ponderous machinery, whict
makes it possible to mend iron cast
ings weighing tons, which heretofoit
had to be replaced at great expen?e ol
iabor and time; which can unite iron
rails so perfectly that the jolting can
scarcely be seen or felt, and a rail can
be made miles long, instead of 60 or
a hundred fee: at the outside.
This thermit is a compound dlscov
ered by Dr. Hans Goldschmidt, of
Essen, Germany, who has been lec
turing in this country before chemi
cal and engineering associations on
this chemical discovery of his that is
so full of engineering possibilities; a
discovery that, unlike so many scien
tific discoTeries, is not merely inter
esting to the scientist, hut commer
cially valuable in the industrial world.
The thermit is a mixture of finely
granulated or powdered aluminum
with some metallic oxide, most fre
quently oxide of iron. This mixture
looks not unlike gunpowder, or to
a housewife would suggest mixed tea,
the light granules, being aluminum
and the dark ones oxide of iron. In
burning this mixture creates a tem
perature, as Dr. Goldschmidt ex
pressed it In a paper read at the an
nual meeting of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, "about equal
to that of the electric arc light."
THE VORACIOUS DOGFISH.
Will Annihilate JCaine Plaherlea If
Government Doesn't Help
Kill It
Fish Warden N. J. Hanna, of Rock
land, has the following to say, according
to the Portland Press, relative to a gov
ernment bounty on dogflBh:
"There is no doubt but that for five
years these scavengers of the sea have
wrought more damage to our fishing in
dustry than in a quarter of a century.
They swarm every bay and even pene
trate our rivers. They came into Cape
Cod by the million five years ago and
now Maine's fishing industry is at their
mercy. Years ago they came only about
a month or six weeks each year from
August to September and at the first
northerly wind they disappeared, but
now they are with us about all the year.
"What are known as the whip lash
dogfish are our scourge a small, vora
cious fish that feeds on every other fish
that is not its master. A Bpecies of the
shark, the large one, will attack a man.
I remember 22 years ago a boy fell over
board off Monhegan and before he was
rescued he was literally torn to pieces,
the water surrounding being covered
with blood.
"They are not a menace to the lobster,
as claimed. A dogfish has to turn upon
its back to bite, and the lobster being a
bottom of the sea shell fish has ample
protection in his location. There should
by all means be a government bounty of
five cents apiece or over for these dog
fish. If something is not done there will
be in time annihilation of one of Maine's
greatest industries her fisheries."
PATIENT'S LUCKY ESCAPE.
Victim of Blood-Poisoning Saved His
Limb by Dodging- the Surgeons
Strange But True.
"We certainly have some strange
cases to deal with," said the hospital
attendant, "and an odd one came to
us recently. An awfully bright b:it
eccentric chap was brought here lor
the treatment. He had coiui.ici'-.J
blood poisoning from some colored
that amputation above the knee was
the only thing that would save his
life. Of course, we told him about it,
and made all preparations for It. liut
the strange part was that when we
got ready for the operation the patltnt
was nowhere in sight He had quietly
moved out without saying ar.vthiig to
anyone. We were frightened, utvause
we were afraid it meant the sacrifice
of his life. But two days later i.o ap
peared again, saying that he had made
up his mind that if that was his last
I chance for a two-legged bat, he was
I going to have a good one. And I guess
,he had had it. Judging by his looks.
But the most remarkable thing about
it was that he was so much better
that the doctors found that it was not
necessary to operate. Yes, it is a
strange case but it is the truth."
Commercial Camphor.
Practically all the camphor of com
merce comes from Japan and Formosa,
which is a Japanese colony. As Japan
needs it for making smokeless gunpow
der, the government has forbidden lu
export, so that Russia may not get any,
and also in order that the Japanese pow
der mills may not run Bhort. Japan'r
control of the camphor trade gives the
mikado a sort of control over wai
among otter natloni.
Treaawed by Cornell University
Whioh Has Vo Olaaa Jar Large
Xnough to Rocesre It.
The largest heart In the world, which
once beat In the generous bosom of
Jumbo, the great elephant, is one of the
treasures of the museum in the depart
ment of neurology at Cornell university,
says the New York World. The heart is
so large that there is no glass jar large
enough to receive it, so It cannot take
Its place in the ranks of other hearts
which stand on record in the museum.
Instead, it rests in a barrel stowed away
in the cellar of the museum waiting its
turn for dissection. When It is finally
dissected by the students i will be de
stroyed. Jumbo's heart is 98 times as large as
the average human heart. It now weighs
36l2 pounds, after having stood several
years in alcohol. A human heart, which
weighs a little more than a pound,
soaked in alcohol for the same length
of time, weighs ten ounces.
The human heart is less than six
Inches long. Jumbo's is 28 inches long
and 24 inches wide. The ordinary heart
will go inside the main artery of Jum
bo's heart. The walls of the artery are
five-eighths of an inch thick and the
walls of the ventricle are three Inches
thick.
A Japanese Soldier's Lcggags.
Lieut. G. S. Turner, Tenth United
States infantry, who accompanied some
Japanese troops in a three days' recon
noissance south and east of Peking, says:
"Each soldier carried on his person 100
rounds of ammunition, an overcoat for
bedding, a haversack, water bottles and
three days' rations. The ration consist
ed of rice and dried fish. The soldiers,
however, depended mainly on the coun
try for their subsistence. I am of the
opinion that in a country where there
was no foraging the amount of food car
ried would be insufficient. Before leav
ing camp each morning the food for din
ner is prepared and packed in a ration
box made of lacquered wood, similar in
shape to our meat ration can, and con
sists of rice, dried fish and sometimes
small pieces of mutton or beef."
Clever Dog Thief.
It was found the other day la Lon
don, that a stolen dog, which failed to
identify its owner, had been dosed with
aniseed by the thief. Aniseed destroys
the sense of smell temporarily. The dor
did not recover for two or three days.
BLOOD IN THE BEARINGS.
Hindoo Thieves Would Mot 8UJ the
"Doetored" Oil Used in Amer
ican Machinery.
The prejudice against blood that is
a part of the religion of the Hindoos
has been made to serve a useful pur
pose. When the American engineers
were building an electric power sta
tion in the Mysore territory in south
ern India they found that something
was wrong with the lubrication of the
machinery. The oil disappeared. They
discovered that a Hindoo must, by his
religion, take a periodical bath in oil.
The workmen had drained the bear
ings for bathing purposes.
How to stop the thieving was a puz
zling problem until some one solved it.
The Hindoo does not eat meat and
he will not touch anytning that has
blood in it. Two or three aniinals
were killed, therefore, and blood was
dripped into the bearings. There was
no more stealing of oil, however many
other things were stolen.
