There were three can- didates, and, after thousands of ballots were taken, it was decided to break the deadlock by the toss of a coin. The third man was eliminated on the first toss and Gillespie won the second toss and the nomination. Work and the Man. The contractors who were boring the Pennsylvania tunnel are getting on rapidly. Not a little of their success is due to the rivalry aroused by boss drillers ,;who have hit upon a scheme of mixing the races where the work is the hardest. For instance, alongside of a Pole will be stationed an Italian, and next to them will be put an Irish man and a negro. Race pride does the rest, and the pace set to try each man’s endurance opens up a big hole in the black wall ahead of them. And on the Other Side.

Steady Demand for Natural Product Has Revolutionized Conditions In Provinces Along the Coast of the Northern Kingdom. Along the shores:of Joderen, on the southwest coast of Norway, the sea- weed grows in veritable forests; not the common grass variety, but actual trees from five to six feet in height, with stems like ropes and leaves as tough as leather. It begins to sprout in March and April, and gradually covers the ocean bed with a dense, im- penetrable brush. In the fall the stems become tender, the roots release their suctionlike grip on the rocky bottom, and the autumn winds wash it ashore in such great quantities that the weed looks like a huge brown wall along the entire coast. The fall crop is of comparatively small value. The only use that can be made of it is for fertilizing pur- poses, because it is only in the spring that it can be successfully burned, and at this time there is such a de- mand for it that every stalk and leaf is gathered as if it were pure coin. The weed burning season is the busiest of the year and every member of the household is drafted to assist in gathering, drying and burning. At the close of each clear day the whole coast seems to be aflame from the thousands of bonfires that are kept burning far into the night. This is one of the many natural resources that is unexpectedly developed in Nor- way, and no one ever dreamed twenty years ago that this seemingly worth- less weed would in a few years, as a source of income, surpass the fisher- ies, which have been the mainstay of the people for ages, or rival that of agriculture in one of the leading agri- cultural distticts in Norway. Yet such is the case to-day, and those who are fortunate enough to own land abut- ting the seashore can reap the most profitable crop of the year. Owners of farms located where the weed seems to have a predilection to drift can burn as much as three thousand kilos a year. During this time the carrying capac- ity of the Stavanger and Joderen rail- way is taxed to the utmost, as many tram loads a day, collected at differ- ent stations, are shipped to Stavanger, whence from two to three shiploads a week are sent to Great Britain. The subsequent uses and treatment of the ashes are veiled in scientific mystery, and the good people of Jo- deren are not concerned about it as long as there is an increasing demand and the English agents at Stavanger are willing to pay good prices for their wares. These ashes contain many valuable chemical properties, emong which iodine is the most im- portant. This relatively large supply of money has wrought great changes in the economic conditions of the dis- trict. Old debts have been paid off, small farms that were isolated and surrounded by unproductive land have kad their boundaries extended by the draining of marshes and clearing of rocky wastes, and this very land which has been considered worthless and unfit for cultivation, has by this evolution become productive. Not more than twenty years ago there was not a mowing machine in the entire district, while now there are mowers, hayrakes, harrows and other modern machinery on nearly every farm. “Knickknacks” in Washington. When the House was considering the pension appropriation bill a mem- ber said that is was a custom of Con- gress to increase the pensions of vet- erans by special acts. Representative “Cy” Sulloway, the pensioner’s guard- ian, rose to his full height of approxi- mately seven feet and said: “These special acts cost the government about $200,000 a year, just about the sum members spend for cigars and knickknacks in the House restaurant.” Nothing more was said on that sub- ject. Several members afterward asked Mr. Sulloway what he meant by knickknacks, and he said that now it is not sold in the House restaurants because of an act of Congress for- bidding its sale in the capitol. Hard Work for Secretary Taft. Secretary Taft continues the strict regime prescribed for the cure of his tendency to take on mountains of flesh and with the best results too. He is losing flesh, but at the same time his eyes are clearer and his skin kas a more healthy look. For a man of Mr. Taft’s tendency to put on flesh the cabinet is not the best position on | earth. There are a certain number of dinners the secretary must eat, wheth- er he would or not. He can’t simply dawdle with his food even if that were his inclination. He likes the pleas- ures of the table and with temptation constantly before him his lot is cer- tainly not a happy one. The Gift. The fairy paused with wand uplifted:— “Sweet Mother, say, what gift shall’t be? Wilt have thy child forever praised Through flaming Fame’s eternity? “Wilt give her power to stir men’s hearts Through Beauty’s might and Passion’s sway? Or shall her song’s ecstatié parts Move raptured multitudes to pray? “Wilt have her jewels to outshine Those of the gem famed Orient? Or _deck her from a richer mine With fairer pearls of Love's Content?” eS spoke the Mother, “I’m of mind Still to require the gift shall be Greater than all of these combined; Grant her one .ce—Serenity.” —Anna Marble in New York Herald. The Football Heart. » President James Burrill Angell of the University of Michigan was la- menting the serious injuries that have befallen collegiate football players this season, “At such a rate,” he ended, smiling, “4t won’t be long before the popular melodrama of the day will contain dia- logue of this nature: “Heroine—Have you no pity? Is there no tenderness in your nature? “Villain—Ha, ha, no! ‘You appeal to a heart of adamant. For , listen, girl: I was once the center rush of a great football eleven. “Heroine (sinking back in a swoon) Then heaven help me. There is in- deed no hope.” AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. “I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint- ment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In ashort time the affected circle would form} a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the fiesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If | I let the scales remain too long with- out removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. 1 suffered intense itching, worse at| nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chidester, Hutchinson, Kan., April 20, 1905.” Charcoal Burner Rewarded. It is said that one of the duke of Teck's ancestors, who was a charcoal burner, pointed out a silver mine to a | German emperor who had been driven into exile. When the kaiser regained his throne with the aid of the wealth thus obtained he made the charcoal burner a duke. Piso's Cure for Consumption {s an infa?lible medicine for coughs and colds.—N. W.

The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and la. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches ‘attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. _ Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—* Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception. and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who willsell you what you wish and the best of everything in his lino at reasonable prices, ESTABLISHED 1879.
