Some doctors are like owls. I ney look wise and talk "wise but they aon t think. In diagnosing disease they don't go back to the starting point When a man gets sick, nine times out of ten his evi dent sickness is only a symptom of some hidden and long-neglected disorder. Most frequently the origi nal and exciting trouble is a disordered di gestion. If that is corrected nature will in the majority of cases do the rest. It is easy for a man to avoid sickness if he will keep a watchful eye on his digestion and resort to the right remedy the moment he feels himself out of sorts. All disorders of the digestion are corrected by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery It restores lost appetite, invigorates the liver, and fills the blood with the life-giving elements that build healthy flesh and firm muscles. It is the great blood-maker flesh builder, and nerve tonic. It cures 98 per Cent, of all cases of consumption. It cures wasting diseases and nervous troubles It wards off disease of every description Buy "Golden Medical Discovery" of r liable dealers ; with tricky ones, something else that pays them better will probably be offered as "just as good." Perhaps it is for them; but it can't be for you. My wife has found jrreat help from Doctor Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery, as, when she takes cold from any cause it generally settles on her lungs." writes E. James, of Box s8l, Brooklyn Cuyahoga Co.. Ohio. "The 'Favorite Present tion ' we keep on hand all the time. It is a won derful medicine. Mv wife has great faith in it By beiUK careful in the wav we five and by usine Dr. PicTCe's medicines when we don't feel just neht. we have had to call in a doctor but once in fifteen yeats." A man can't cither make money or enjoy life who suffers from headaches, and sleep lessness, and heart-burn. These troubles are caused by constipation. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a sure, safe, speedy and permni.ent cure for constipation. Thev are tiny, su-jar-coated granules.

ME WAS EXCEEDINGLY CLEVER IN FEIGNING EPILEPTIC FITS. Expedient to xCalsrtala II ha Carefully Watched Wf Ex- Time-Finally Betray. d In a Simple Dr. Robert Safford Newton tells an interesting story of an impostor who successfully feigned epilepsy for a great number of years, in spite of the fact that he was watched by the most skill ful neurologists. "How to feign epileptio fits forma a necessary part of the education of many criminals in Europe and America. In England, where it has been successfully worked for a great many years and is well known to the police, the feigning of epilepsy is called 'throwing of flts' and 'dummy chucking. ' It is invariably worked in threes, after this formula: Two men, evidently friends, are walk ing along the street, when suddenly one of them falls in an epileptic fit. The friend cf the sick man pretends to be greatly worried and gives all of his at tention to the resuscitation. Naturally enough, a crowd pat hers around. The third man lifts pecketbooks and watch es and makes off with them. "There is one man whose career as a feigner of epilepsy is most remarkable. This man's name was Craig, and my first knowledgo of him was when I was connected with the Whitechapnl Road House hospital, the biggest hospital in England. It had been noticed that whenever Craig fell in a fit in the streets of London, reports were sent in to the police of money and jewelry lost. Ho was more than suspected and was sent into the hospital, both to be treated and to be watched. This man was a perfect fraud, but he was so well up in his act ing that though ho was most carefully watched he escaped detection. He was a valuable man, but perhaps his pals feared that the London police had too close an eye on their movements. At all events Craig was next heard of in America. The old formula was repeated. He fell in fits, and valuables stolen were reported to the police. He was shifted around from hospital to hospital, and a careful watch was kept upon him, both when he was in one of Mien fits and in the time of their intermission. "Craig began to think that a 'coup do theatre' waa necessary to S3V0 his repu tation. He was at this time confined in a hospital and was in one of the upper wards in the front part of the building. There were doors that opi ned out on a balcony. This balcony was 38 feet from the ground, and at its base there was a solid stone pavement. Epileptics are us nally a dull, stupid sort of peqple, even when not in fits, and Craig feigned this stupidity as well as the other symptoms of the disease. He was allowed to wan der about the hospital pretty much as he pleased, and every once in awhile down he would fall in a fit. The doctors had not discovered his fraud, but Craig felt more than uneasy at the way he was watched and suspected. One morning he got up from his chair, and, with a dazed sort of a look, at the same time putting his hands np to his head, he staggered toward the balcony and tumbled over backward down, down, the full 88 feet to the stone pavement below. When be was picked np, it was found that one of his wrists was broken and that ho was otherwise hurt, though, wonderful to tell , not seriously. Of course this settled in the minds of the doctors tbe doubt that had previously existed as to whether be was a fraud or not. The thing work ed exactly as Craio had planned that it should, and in course of time he was discharged as a true but incurable epi leptic. Onoe again on the outside, he worked successfully the old game of fits and pocket picking in threes. "Once more be was taken up and sent to the hospital. Here a young doctor set for himself the task of watching this clever rogue. He had every symptom. He would froth at the mouth, blood would stream from his tongue that be bad bitten in his convulsions, and there aeemed nothing wanting in real epilep sy. But this young doctor" kept his vigil, and patience had its reward. "One day, just as Craig was going through tbe preliminaries before falling the looking dazed, the slowly attempt ing to fight off the coming spasms, the clinching of the hands the young doc tor who was watching him observed that, instead of closing the hands with tbe fingers over the thumbs, as wonld have been the case necessarily in true epilepsy for the thumb, having the shorter muscle, must feel the contract ing force first Craig shut his hands with the fingers on the inside of the thumbs. The doctor gave him a gentle kick in the side and said: 'That'll do, Craig. I've caught you. You are a fraud. You've done your tricks well and for a long time, but your time is up. If yon bad been a true epileptic or just a little better read in medicine, you would have closed the fingers over the thumbs.' Without a single protest Craig straight ened up and said, 'Well, I knew it was bound to come some time. ' " "What became of the man?" "Oh, his talent found a market. He was so well known, bad been so written up for the medical journals of both Eu rope and America, that the doctors hired him to go before medical students and demonstrate to them how epilepsy could be feigned and also toexplain how these pretenders were taught iu England and elsewhere. To counterfeit tbe frothing at the mouth they used a small piece of soap. If there was any danger of detec tion, they could swallow both soap and froth. With a little sharp knife a stab cculd be given to tbe tongue which would simulate the biting of that mem ber." New York Tribune. Backer.

THE GOLDEN STATE. California Is Widely . lrhrated. bat LM- tle Knows, In the first place, California is known not by what million of people have seen, but by what millions have read. Europe is better known by contact to Americans than California. A promi nent American author recently "discov ered" California and filled tbe newspa pers with tbe interesting and suggestive impressions it bad made upon bis mind. He bad been to Europe 30 times and to tbe Pacific coast once, which is onoe of tener than many other distinguished travelers of the eastern seaboard. Still further, the Anglo-.Saxon race is dealing with new conditions in California. Coming from den?- forests, from a land of heavy rainfall and from a temperate climate, when winters are long and stern, it settled in treeless deserts, in a land of slight and peculiar rainfall and under a sky that never knows the win ter. Finally California is in its infancy. Born in a paroxysm of speculation one of the wildest the world has seen it has outlived a trying experience of lesser economic epilepsy and come to the threshold of its true career strengthened and purified by the extraordinary proc ess. In less than half a century several farreaching changes have swept tbrougb tbe industrial and sociul life of the state, swiftly altering the conditions of labor and of business. Even for those, living in the midst of these events it has been difficult to read their significance and estimate their influence on tho ultimate character of the pla 1 1 and people. What wonder, then, that to the outside world California has meantime appeared like a jumble of gold, palms and oranges, of gilded millionaires and hopeless pau pers, of enviable farmers living luxuri ously on small sections of paradiso and of servile alien laborers herded in stifling tenements? Such are the conflicting as pects of tho Golden Slate to tho-e who view it from afar. William K. temytho in Century. SELECTING PICTURES. la Ctaoaelaa; Painting (irt at the late. tion of the Artist. "Tho value of a picture depends npon what there ia iu it for its possessor, " writes William Martin Johnson in Tbe Ladies' Home Journal, on the "Selec tion and Framing of Pictures. " "A painting by an amateur may be morn precious in your eyes than one of Ra phael's cartoons. Therefore sell your cartoon to tho highest bidder, and when you outgrow the littlo painting buy back tho cartoon if you lutvo learned to see its beuuty. "No one can tell yon how to under, stand art without your seeing it, study ing it, living with it, any mnro than any one can tell yon how to tell good cloth from bad. You mtist first have had experience with cloth. Learu a languago before yon try to converse. But do uot go so far as to imagma that you must learn drawing and painting before you can appreciato pictures. Tho Jess you know about tachniquo the more capable you will be of looking-at a painuug witlj an unprejudiced eye. tint at the artist's intention. Does he express au idea to you? Is be interesting in tho way he tells his story? Does bo convince you of a truth? If the picture is that of a head, does it impress you its having the char acteristics of an individual." Docs it look like a human being? Suppose a landscape is under discussion do the trees sway, tbe olouds float? Is there any atmosphere in tbe painting? These are tbe tests of a painter's facility with lan guage. But more than this is required it is the intellectuality behind the brush. Herein lies the difference be tween sublime art and tho common place." How Gnat Got tho Name of I lyases. The story waa curious.
