Nowadays no true law yer advises, prepares documents or tries a case without a careful prep aration. Forensic oratory has passed away. No longer dt*es the crowd gather In the county court-house to listen to and be moved by the wit. pathos and eloquence of the advocate as for hours or days he addresses the Jury. The court-room may be filled, hut it Is largely with the ubiquitous reporters, many of whom are as des titute of tears as Sahara of water, and as callous to emotion as the mummied sloepor of Egypt. No Ion ger Is it true that weeping men and women with handkerchiefs to their eyes ure moved by the eloquence of counsel. Rather may it n he said that distant Texas and the far Pacific slope hang breathlessly on the reporters’ Imngtnution and manufactured eloquence. Time Is a pressing factor. Fncts rather than el oquence Is the demand.—Justice Ilrower. HIMOt HM'.SS AND <MINHlTMI*TION For years I was troubled with bil iousness and consumption, which made life miserable for me. My ap petite failed me. I lost my usual foreo and vitality. Pepsin prepara tions and cathartics only made mat ters worse.

The tablets relieve the III feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, helping the sys tem to do Its work naturally.—Mrs. Itosa Potts, Birmingham. Ala.

It Is a good thing to have a variety of earthquakes. Any one who has been amid the terrors of n genuine upheaval of Iho earth's crust will never forget it. All the fine spun theories of theological hair splitters ami fake experimenters who dnbblo with whnt they call science become rubbish In the presence of the stupendous facts which the earth quakes and volcanoes thunder forth. In view of whnt has recently hap pened in San Francisco and Chill ono can more sincerely appreciate the terrors of that awful display of earth’s power when Its crusts are broken upward, as was recorded dur ing the great disasters in Java. It will be remembered at the time of the outbreak In the straits of Sutidu that a spectator standing on a high eminence nearly 20 miles away saw the mountains burst Into smoke and steam. When the vapors blew away he looked again and nnw the se.i sweeping over the place where the mountains had been. Observing more closely he snw a mountain standing where tho sea had sw'opt but a few hours before.
