If one la to belie? the medical ex amineri tbe reason a woman pays more for tbe privilege of life insur ance is tbat the is much more com monly a victim of indigestion and stomach troubles and the fatal ail ments that spring from these causes. It is not tbe acute attacks of disrate that influence tbe insurance examiners alone, but tbe constant feeling of weakness, headache, indigestion and stomach trouble. These things, physicians say, kill more people than many of tbe serious diseases. For curative power in all stomach trouble nothing else is as safe yet effective, nothing elite can be so thoroughly relied opon to relieve all troubles of indigestion, as Mionu. It is unlike any remedy heretofore un known ; it is not a mete digestive tab let ; it strengthen and restores to natural action, the stomach aad bowels and makes oven the worst troubles ;.

The expenditure of f 12 by the city for the seed represents the total outlay for tbe magnificent ground surrounding the station building. Under Captain Wllmot the firemen graded and planted tbe lawn aud watched it so carefully that there l perhaps not a better one In the city. In frviut of the building they planted a flower lied, In the form of a Maltese croMS. It Is filled with foliage plants of many hues, and In the center there la a sum II century plant. Along the front wall there Is n row of gladioluses aud tutieroscs. solicited and received from tho horticultural department at Wasb Ingt mi. On the south side of the lot is a hedge of sweet pens, ami on the mime side a lurge bod of pansles. the gift of the Turk Moral t-impaiiy, uml another bed of geraniums. The most extraordinary ami unique features of the ilmnrailuiis are the (lower stands devised by the men. I'nr one of these uu Inverted sci tlun of a tree trunk, with the spreading limbs serving fur support, was used no top of this an oMntii box w as plm ed, cov ered with decorative work made from small twigs. There ure six of these Ix.xes In various patterns, and each one represents an endless amount of work niiil palleuce. The material nec essary for their construction was all gathered In the alleys and vucant lots of the neighborhood. The completed Nixes, tilled with doieus of varieties : of plants ami trailing vines, are really works of urt, a single mie containing geraniums of many types, bluelvlls. wandering Jews, pinks, nasturtiums and small (topples In addition to these then- are other stands which are. if unything could lie. even more strange In their origin. In the alleys near the station the firemen found two kitchen water tauks that ' had lieen deserted by their owners. Strips were cut out of their sides and rustle suports placed tietieuth them. I They were filled with earth and (lowers planted Inside. They have ,pilte lost their homely Identity ami serve as very attractive flower boxes, with long strands of dallcate vines trailing from their sides. Withal there Is much for the men at the station to lie proud of, for ordinarily a fire station Is not a thing of leauty. but in this case the uieu have tolled to such go.nl purpose that there Is not a private lawn la Denver where more taste Is shown la ! the decorations or greater success oh tallied In the horticultural work. Harper' Weekly. Overheard In a Georgia Kitchen. Not long ago an old colored cook in an Atlanta family was visited by one of her friends, who had but recently come from "dowu In de country," where both had been raised. The vis itor was received with genuine darky cordiality and glveu a comfortable cor ner of "do white folks' kitchen."
