A commission goes to the coronation of King Edward VII, and we are officially entertaining the nephew of the King, who represents his elder brother, the Kaiser. It has been a long time between coronations in Great Britain, Victoria was crowned in 1837, during the Presidency of Martin Van Buren, who was a very democratic Democrat. But he was represented at the coronation of the young Queen by his son John, who danced with Victoria, and it was said kissed her, and roused in her heart certain tender feelings that are common to all, to Princesses and to peasants alike. John Van Buren was a handsome young man, of fine manners and great ability. At that distant coronation he was paid all the honors of a Prince, and all his life was hailed by that title. No matter what may have been said at the time, his presence at the great ceremony as the representative of his father, the President, and of the American people, did not undermine our institutions, and was no indication of the decay of their republican vigor. But it was so long ago that the present generation does not readily recall it, and may listen to the outcry made in Congress and by the yellow horsemen are about to be repre sented west from Broadway, and continue to the Garden Grove road, and run south two miles.

A story is told in a neighboring town says the Troy Press, of the well meant efforts to do his duty of a hostler enployed by a local doctor. It so happened that the doctor was attending two cases on the same street; one hour which had just been blessed by a heir and in the other existed a slight case of scarlet fever. The doctor instructed his man take a “contagious disease” card tack it up on the house where lived by fever patient. Unfortunately the messenger made a mix up in the location of the house, and what was the astounding of passersby to read on the house where cooed a lusty newborn infant: “Contagious Disease.” Ke Out.” A Thousand Million Suns. Lord Kelvin once made some interesting calculations of the probable amount of gravitation matter in visible universe. He showed that if $1000,000 years ago $1,000,000,000 mass each equal to our sun had been tributed through a sphere about $2000,000,000,000 miles in radius that would now have acquired velocity about equal to those known to be sensed by the stars visible to us. The fore it is probable that the total amount of gravitational matter in the visi universe does not differ much from that of $1,000,000,000 suns. A STORY OF FORREST. How the Peppery Actor Squared Counts With One Critic. Many years ago Edwin Forrest celebrated actor, when in New York was in the habit of dining at Vienna's, a noted restaurant on Row that was a favorite resort on tors and literary men. It usually opened that Forrest would be joined friends and that the little group wilt sit together at one table. On one occasion it chanced that an English with a reputation for conceit and pertinence, who had scraped acquaintance with the tragedian, was on the group. Early in the course of the dinner Englishman began to make criticism which he considered pleasantries of Forrest's conception of certain Encouraged by his own appreciation gave full play to his humor and cluded each of his impertinences as “Pardon my freedom; sir; it's my way To the astonishment of all who Forrest's irascible disposition heldthe Britton's offensive remarks partly as possible.

He was received in Europe with extraordinary and imperial honors. No Prince of the blood, no man that ever lived, had ever received such honors as were showered upon him from London to Tokyo. Kings and Emperors, Prime Ministers and statesmen sought his presence, his friendship and his counsel. While all the world made obeisance to him many of our own countrymen decried and derided him, and exhibited a meanness of spirit that was discreditable to their patriotism. It is to be expected that our presence at the coronation and our entertainment of the Prince of Prussia will be treated by some in the same narrow spirit. As it cannot be helped it will have to be borne. But the sensible masses of our people will pay no attention. We have among us millions of well-bred Germans, who are as good Americans as any, who left the fatherland to get the benefit of our institutions and our better opportunities, who do not desire to go back, but who remember with love the old land and its people. They will everywhere manifest that feeling by honoring this Prince, and our native population and our Government will extend to him every courtesy that may impress him with the greatness of our country and the politeness of its people. That is all. No sensible American would content with less. Our republican institutions will suffer no shock, and none, not even of his own nationality, will be moved by a sight of the Prince to exchange our government for that of the Kaiser—Call. Early in the course of the dinner Englishman began to make criticism which he considered pleasantries for Forrest's conception of certain Encouraged by his own appreciation gave full play to his humor and cluded each of his impertinences "Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way." To the astonishment of all who Forrest's irascible disposition held the Briton's offensive remarks publicly and seemingly ignored them as possible. When, however, they were brought in by the waiter, he several cracked walnuts in his hand, walking over to the Briton's jocularly snapped them successively the face of that individual, lightly ling after each shot, "Pardon my dom, sir; it's my way," and sniff him out of the restaurant.

The next time you go down town or visit any town where there is a jewelry store take notice as to whether the following from an exchange is true or not: If you will look at a dummy clock that is hung out as a sign before a jewelry store you will probably find that the hands are painted on the face of the clock to represent the time 8:18—eighteen minutes after eight. You will be surprised to know, perhaps, that this time has been used by jewelers since the assassination of President Lincoln in 1865, that being the hour at which the assassination took place. Chicago jewelers are talking of changing the time on their dummy clocks to 3:55—the moment when President McKinley was shot. Some Chicago jewelers have already made the change. Strikes a Rich Find "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility," writes F. J. Green of Lancaster, N. H.

REQUIRES CONSIDERABLE SELF-REPRESSION TO KEEP QUIET--SURE! From the Orange Post. A few weeks ago the Orange Post said what was meant to be its final say on the Crawford county system, urging Republicans throughout the county to make the best of the situation and nominate a good ticket by whatever method the committee might prescribe; but, with the never-say-die GAZETTE still hammering away at a settled conclusion and the we-knew-we-were-right Blade gloating over its own unverified predictions, it requires considerable self-repression for the Post to keep quiet, for the sake of the Republican party, while conscious of its own disinterested motives and undoubted ability to smite the Crawfordites hip and thigh.

There is probable that the total amount gravitational matter in the visible case does not differ much from 1,000,000,000 suns. STORY OF FORREST. The Peppery Actor Squared Accounts With One Critic. My years ago Edwin Forrest, the created actor, when in New York, on the habit of dining at Winchester, a noted restaurant on Park that was a favorite resort of acclaimed literary men. It usually hapened that Forrest would be joined by me and that the little group would together at one table.

When, however, the nuts were taken in the football originate? Some people give ancient Chester, in England, credit for bringing the great winter pastime into existence. There is a record of football playing in the city in the year 1540, but Chestrian believe in a legend of much earlier date. In the tenth century, it is said, Dane was captured and beheaded by the citizens. Some one began kicking the head about the streets, often followed, and it was discovered that this formed a new and decidedly fascinating sport. This was repeated whenever possible, but as enemies heads became scarcer and the entertainment of kicking them more difficult to procure it was at last arranged "for the shemakers yearly on Shrove Tuesday to deliver to the draper, n the presence of the mayor of Chester, one ball of leather, called a football, of the value of 3s. 4d. or above." There is evidently a fine precedent for those concerned in the game "leading their heads." Mirneles of Warfare. Until war ceases, which will be the greatest miracle of all, it will always be the exhibition ground of miracles. How can a bullet puncture a man's coat behind and before or piece his boot and sock and be gravely shaken out of both without wounding him? And what mysterious channel does this human body contain which leads a bullet dexterously around the heart—a hair's breadth from the seat of life yet never rending it—a phenomenon voiced for by more than one army surgeon? Shells have burst thunderously between the very legs of soldiers and left them still soldiers. Pompom shells of two inches diameter have passed through legs and arms without shattering the bone or bursting at the impact, though there appears to be literally no room for such a merciful performance. In fact, a history of the escapes in war would be wild reading even after a course of Munchausen. POSSIBILITIES OF THE POSTAL SYSTEM. Cheap Mail Facilities One of the Chief Factors in Our Prosperity and Progress. "Common is the commonplace." The most valuable of civil benefits is such a commonplace matter, that we scarcely give it a thought. It would take a winter on a whaler nipped in an ice floe to make us truly appreciable of the worth of the postal service. What a wonderful thing it is! Wonderful in its organization, with its vast machinery for the collection and distribution of letters, its Grewsome Football Legend. Where did football originate?

There is evidently a fine precedent for those concerned in the game "leasing their heads." FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. The Morals of Animals. It may be questioned whether animals have any conception of meat as we understand the term, but general sense it would certainly say that they have. In the social system there is no doubt as to the answer; take a well known instance, then family have evolved a most complex social system which appears works to perfection, and that is not can be said for any human animal. In order cleanliness care or military discipline no civilized society can compare with theirs. They slaveholders, it is true, but they their slaves with every kindness consideration, and the warrior and fend them in time of danger. Another excellent example is finished by the beaver. During summer it leads a solitary life, but at this proach of winter communities formed, building operations communes are laid up as soon as the buildings are completed,and every individual that interests of the family colony come first. In their life they, in common with many animals, offer an example which well be copied not only by savages also by civilized communities. Beecher's Open Hand. An old member of Plymouth who knew Henry Ward Beecher his family tells a story about great preacher. "No one ever what he did with the vast sums money he earned as a lecturer said. 'He used to give money with both hands,and he was able to give a street beggar a twenty bill as a dollar;but his salary Plymouth church went direct to Beecher intact. He never drew money from the church until till he year. Then he received for $20,000,his full year's salary handed it to his wife. When he did not leave much of an estuary though he had earned millions dollars in his life,but Mrs. Beecher always received her $20,000,a year she lived in comfort and even in Brooklyn till she died.Here great man was Henry Ward Beecher. An Oddity of Lost Castles. It is not necessary to go to hear curious stories of castle. In professional man's household recess maidservant fell ill of diphtheria mistress nursed her herself tedious illness until she was quitted.

The Excitement Not Over. The rush at the drug store still comes, and daily scores of people call a bottle of Kemp's Balsam for the coat and Lungs for the cure of colds, colds, asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia. Kemp's Balsam, the standard family remedy, is sold on a grate and never fails to give entire satisfaction. Price 25c and 35c. For sale W. P. Turner, druggist. March, April, May There is a best time for doing everything—that is, a time when a thing can be done to the best advantage, most easily and most effectively. Now is the best time for purifying your blood. Why? Because your system is now trying to purify it—you know this by the samples and other eruptions that have come on your face and body. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Are the medicines to take—they do not work thoroughly and agreeably and never fail to do it. Hood's are the medicines you have always heard recommended. I cannot recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla so highly as a spring medicine. When we make it in the spring we all feel better through summer," Mrs. S. H. Neal, McCray, Pa. Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise. POSSIBILITIES OF THE POSTAL SYSTEM. Cheap Mail Facilities One of the Chief Factors in Our Prosperity and Progress. "Common is the commonplace." The most valuable of civil benefits is such a commonplace matter, that we scarcely give it a thought. It would take a winter on a whaler nipped in an ice floe to make us truly appreciable of the worth of the postal service. What a wonderful thing it is! Wonderful in its organization, with its vast machinery for the collection and distribution of letters, its railway mail cars, its route riders, the unfailing order and precision of its methods. Wonderful it is too in its results. It knits together families widely separated. It carries across the sea some tender lover's message or perhaps a little flower picked from the daisied grave of an English churchyard. Every hour of every day the mail bag is packed with words which waken love and laughter, and words which deepen the furrow in the cheek and dim the failing sight with bitter tears. But with all this there is going on through the mail service a dissemination of human knowledge, a reaching out of human help which is one of the crowning blessings of our century. The correspondenced schools led by Chautauqua, are sending to every village and hamlet the broader knowledge which is so eagerly craved by many who are shut in to the homely duties of a humble life. Without the mail system this plan of education would be impracticable. Every mail, too, carries from the great centers, the advice of great physicians, which it would be impossible for the distant public to obtain were it not for the mails. Few people realize how many thousand people depend on the mail service for medical treatment. Not long ago when some postal affairs were being discussed in connection with the erection of the new postoffice building in Buffalo, N.Y., some light was thrown on this subject by the statement that the mail by Dr. R V. Pierce amounted daily to something over 1,500 pieces. Of course this is not a common case, because Dr. Pierce's relation as chief consulting physician to Buffalo's famous institution, The Invalid's Hotel and Surgical Institute, makes his advice and that of his staff of nearly a score of skilled and experienced specialists much sought after, especially by women, to the treatment and cure of whose special diseases Dr. Pierce has devoted over thirty years of almost constant labor. But though this example is out of the ordinary, it may serve as an evidence of the amazing benefits reaped by the public from the mail service. It puts every outlying hamlet in touch with the most advanced medical specialism of the day. It gives at a cost of a two-cent stamp, the skill and experience that it has taken years to acquire. Literally at the cost of a two-cent stamp, since Dr. Pierce invites sick women to consult him by letter without charge. And this would seem to be one of the most remarkable services rendered by the postal system, perhaps the supreme service of all. For while it is a splendid thing to be able to shop in New York while living in Kanada is the commonplace." One size smaller after using Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder to be shaken into the shoes.

Anson Henry Burlingame, a young merchant of Healdsburg, and Miss Hattie Wells McCoy, of Westminster, were united in marriage Thursday evening at the Westminster Presbyterian church in presence of a number of invited guests. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A.C.Junkin and Rev.J.W.Miller. After congratulations of their many friends, Mr. and Mrs. Burlingame were driven to the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. McCoy, where a supper was served. The young couple departed later for their future home in Healdsburg. Horse Sense. "Any fool can take a horse to water, but it takes a wise man to make him drink," says the proverb. The horse catches when hungry and drinks when thirsty. A man eats and drinks by the clock, without regard to needs of nature. Because of careless eating and drinking "stomach trouble" is one of commonest of diseases. Sour and bitter rinses, belchings, unnatural fulness after eating, dizziness, headache, and many other symptoms mark the beginning and progress of disease of the stomach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures through the stomach diseases of other organs which have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach, and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. It strengthens the stomach, purifies the blood, cures obstinate cough and heals weak lungs. "I was taken with Gripple," which resulted in heart and stomach trouble," writes Mr.T.R.Burlingame always received her $20,000 a year she lived in comfort and even in Brooklyn till she died.

But though this example is out of the ordinary, it may serve as an evidence of the amazing benefits reaped by the public from the mail service. It puts every outlying hamlet in touch with the most advanced medical specialism of the day. It gives at a cost of a two-cent stamp, the skill and experience that it has taken years to acquire. Literally at the cost of a two-cent stamp, since Dr. Pierce invites sick women to consult him by letter without charge. And this would seem to be one of the most remarkable services rendered by the postal system, perhaps the supreme service of all. For while it is a splendid thing to be able to shop in New York while living in Kansas, and a grand thing to be able to command the learning of great professors while working in the Michigan woods, it is a still grander thing that by means of this cheaply supplied service, men like Dr. Pierce, who have the disposition to be helpful, are enabled to place their skill and knowledge at the disposal of those who are being dragged down by disease, without the possibility of help from those about them. When one contemplates the vast and far reaching benefits of the mail service, so briefly touched upon in this article, it makes the familiar gray uniform of the postman the most glorious of all uniforms, for it is worn by the soldiers of the army of peace. It makes one feel like taking his hat off to the on-rushing mail train, and cheering the work and wisdom of Uncle Sam. I was taken with Grippe, which resulted in heart and stomach trouble," writes Mr. T. R. Caudill, Montland, Alleghany Co., N.C. "I was unable to do anything a good part of the time. I wrote to Dr. Pierce about my condition, having full confidence in his medicine. He advised me to take his 'Golden Medical Discovery,' which I did. Before I had finished the second bottle I began to feel better. I have used nearly six bottles. I feel thankful to God for the benefit I have received from Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I can highly recommend it to all persons as a good and safe medicine." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets keep the bowels healthy.

Everybody Knows About Pain-Killer A Household Medicine A Safe and Sure Cure Cramps Coughs Diarrhoea Golds Sprains and Stones Instant relief. Two sizes, 25c. and Only one Pain Killer, Porrion Monsters and Microbes. How the Microbe Would Appear If Magnified in Size to Correspond With Its Power. The world has always believed in monsters—great dragons of the land, and huge serpents of the sea. As a rule these monsters have been fairly peaceable, and beyond frightening people occasionally, they have done little recorded harm. The real calamities of humanity have come from the smallest forms of life. The minute microbe has slain its millions upon millions. If this microscopic form of life were depicted in size and form equal to its danger and not been for your 'Golden Medical Discovery', I would be scratching yet. I tried different kinds of medicine, tried different doctors, but all the relief they could give me was to make my pocket-book lighter. I then began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Took four bottles without relief. Kept taking it. I took in all ten bottles and got entirely cured. I can say that if people would take your medicine instead of fooling with some of the quacks that infest both the small and large towns, disease would flee like chaff before the wind." The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will absolutely drive out and eliminate the poisons which corrupt the blood. BAD BLOOD AND GOOD HEALTH cannot go together. But when the blood is purified and enriched by "Golden Medical Discovery," the result is recorded in sound health. Boils, blotches, pimples and other eruptions disappear as the impurities which caused them are removed. The skin is healthy, the flesh is firm. The dull and sluggish feeling is a thing of the past. The appetite is good, sleep is sound and refreshing and labor an enjoyment instead of a burden. "It gives me much pleasure to testify to the merits of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Miss Annie Wells, of Fergussons Wharf, Isle of Wight Co., Va. "I can say honestly and candidly that it is the grandest medicine ever compounded for purifying the blood. I suffered terribly with rheumatism, and pimples on the skin and swelling in my knees and feet so that I could not walk. I spent about twenty dollars paying doctors' bills but received no benefit. A year or two ago I was reading one of your Memorandum Books, and I decided to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Favorite Prescription,' and am entirely cured." Of all prevalent forms of blood disease, scrofula is the most intractable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has a remarkable record of cures of scrofulous diseases; remarkable both in the number of cures and their variety as well as in the fact that these cures were effected many times in cases where all other treatment had proved utterly ineffectual. "I cured my little girl's scrofula with your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets,'" writes Mr. Eli Ashford of Raney, Hunt Co., Texas. "It has been four years since then, and there has not been any return of the disease." There is no alcohol in "Golden Med." An Oddity of Lost Caste. It is not necessary to go to India to hear curious stories of caste. In a professional man's household recently a maid servant fell ill of diphtheria. Her distress nursed her herself through a serious illness until she was quite well. When that happy result was established, the maid immediately informed the mistress that she intended to leave her service. The reason of the maid's departure was this—"I could not live with my mistress who has been waiting on her herself." Quite evidently this is not where indifference to kindness or inattitude. The girl was the slave of a mysterious influence of caste which splits up into minute sections every modern society, as it split up every ancient society, and seems likely to split up any future society that it is possible to imagine. London Saturday Review. Lemon Extract. A lemon extract that one is sure is pure can be easily made at home. Grate off enough of the outside peel of lemons to fill a small bottle, taking care that none of the white part of the rind gets in, as this will give a bitter taste. When the bottle is full, cover with pure alcohol and set away for three weeks. At the end of that time the contents of the bottle should be strained, and the extract is ready for use. An even teaspoonful of this preparation will flavor a quart of custard or other similar dish. New York Post. Their Bible. A story is told in which the late Lord Iddesleigh figured when as Mr. Stafford Northcote he was appointed a magistrate for Devon. At the castle of Exeter, where he attended to be sworn, he was handed a book tied round with what had once been red tape. Not liking the appearance of it, Mr. Northcote took out his knife and cut the tape and on opening the book discovered that it was ready reckoner, on which magistrates had been sworn for about thirty years. Precious Hair. When the crusaders returned from the Holy Land in 1099, they were loaded with relics of holy personages who had previously been unknown in the west. Bohemond, one of their leaders, divided between Anselm and certain churches a dozen hairs which the triarch of Antioch had given him with the assurance that the Blessed Virgin plucked them from her head as she stood—Mater Dolorosa—by the cross. All the Year Round. The Stormy Petrel. A bird of immense wing power is the tiny stormy petrel, the smallest web-footed bird known. It belongs to every sen, and, although so seeming frail, it breasts the utmost fury of the storm, skimming with incredible velocity the trough of the waves and gliding rapidly over their snowy crests. Petrels have been observed 2,000 miles from nearest land. FINDING THE FOR is the first step, fighting it intelligently is the next. We know this minute organism lurks in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink. We know the object of attack is the blood. We know that as the microbe is bred from foulness it must be fed on foulness. Hence, we know that the microbe finds no lodgment in the body when the blood is pure. Keep the blood pure and you shut out the microbe. When the blood is impure nature at once begins to show the red danger signals. Boils, blotches, pimples, eruptions begin to work upon the skin surface, as signs and symptoms of the corruption of the blood. When these or any signs of blood impurity appear, the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is confidently recommended as a most powerful and perfect blood-purifying medicine. "I consider your 'Golden Medical Discovery' one of the best medicines on the face of the earth," writes Wm. Floer, Eq., of Redoak, Montgomery Co., Iowa. "While in the south-west, three years ago, I got poisoned with poison ivy. The poison settled in my blood and the horrors I suffered cannot be told in words. I thought I would go crazy. I could do nothing but scratch. I would go to sleep scratching, would wake up in the morning and find myself scratching. I scratched for eight months.

A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Gentlemen: — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in his ear entirely. I am unable to treat for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent car specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only after days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
