'i t j A LIVING SHADOW. Remarkable Transformation of North Carolina Man. Strange, ItutTruc, Story from tlio kuuibor Keglm, of n Snutlirrn State Ver- lllcd by IVthoiiuI Inventlgutlon. (From the (irrtnvtlle, uY. C, lltjiector.) Tho following interview 1ms just been Riven our reporter by Mr. G. A. Iiukcr, the overseer at the furm of Col Isaac A. Buck, of Greenville, N. C. It will interest uny ono who him ever had Typhoid fever. Mr. Baker said in part: "I was living in Beaufort county, and on the ','d day o t October, 1 fc'.t;), 1 was stricken down with typhoid fever. I had tho best of physicians to attend me and on tho l.'ith day of January, lb'.M, I was allowed to get up. I was emaciated, weak and had no ap petite. 1 could only drag along for a short ilistnnco and would bo compelled to sit Sown and rest. This continued for boiiio time and I began to glvo up hope of ever retting wall. 1 lot my position in Beau Tort county and having secured one in Pitt :ounty, clerking in u store, I undertook it, but was so weak I could not do tho work, lud had to give it up. Tho disease settled in my knees, legs and feet. I was taking first one kind or medicine and then another, but nothing did mo any good. I was mighty low spirited. I moved out to Col. Hugg's about four or live months ago and com menced taking Dr. Williams' Pills. I took three a day for about three months. I began to regain my appetite in a week's time, and then my weakness began to disappear, and hope sprung up with a blessedness that is beyond all telling. At tho expiration of the three mouths I was entirely cured and could take my axo and go in tho woods aud do as good a day's work as any man. I was troubled with dyspepsia and that has disap peared. It is also a splendid tonic for weak people I say, Mr. Editor, (Jod bless Dr. Williams. Hay he live for a long time. I know ho will go up yonder to roap his re ward, for ho has dono a wonderful lot of V'ood. Tell everybody thatusks you about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People- that If they will come to me I can certainly satisfy them as to their merits. I always carry a box of pills with mo aud whenever 1 reel bad I take one." We were forcibly struck with tho earnest ness of Mr. Baker and his statement may bo relied on. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, iu a rondensed form, nil the eloments necessary to give now life and richness to tho blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an anfnillug specific for such diseases as loco motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the alter ofieets of la grippe, palpitation of tho heart, pule and sallow.coinplexions, all forms of weakness Either in male or female, and all diseases re sulting from vitiated humors in tho blood. Pink Pills arc sold by all dealer?, or will bo tent postpaid on rccejptof price (M cents a box. or six boxes for &!.f0) by addressing Dr. Williams' Mediciuo Co., Schenectady, N. Y. SKIN DRESSING BY WOMEN. HONORING THE DEAD. nt Clilcnco War At th riic Work as It Is IImi by Indian Squaws mill lNklmcu. In her tanning and skin dressing' work tho savage woman's problem was to remove the dermis from the hide, and leave the hair adhering to the epidermis, with only a thin portion of the true .skin. If the work were cred itably done, the surface of the robe, "frequently more than thirty square Feet in extent, had to be uniform in thickness throughout, and she should not cut through the epidermis once. The whole must be as pliable, too, as d woolen blanket; the problem was to reduce a hide of varying thickness and twice too thick everywhere to a robe of uniform thickness throughout with out onco cutting' through the outer part of tho skin. Her tools for this varied with the locality. The Eskimo women scrape olf the fat with a bpo sial tool made of walrus ivory or bone and plane down the dermis with a. stone scraper. The Indian women cut oil: bits of meat and fat and remove tho dermis with a hoc or adze. Iu the pood old days of savagery the Eskimo woman made her fat scraper of walrus ivory or antler; her skin scraper was of flinty stone set in a handle of ivory, wood or horn, whichever material was easiest to procure. But later on, It may be, the whalers helped her with steel tools. The Indian woman had three tools to-wit: the stone knife for cutting awa y the ilesh; the hoe-shaped scraper for splitting the skin; and the grainer, u hoe or chisel-like tool with serrated edge to roughen up the inner side of the robe and give it flexibility. Besides these, both Eskimo and Indian had hands and feet and teeth for pull ing and pounding and breaking the grain. They had also a wonderful supply of pride in their work, and love of applause, which kept them up to the mark of doing the best that could be done with their resources.'" OtisT.

I.utulnotifl Insert of tho Went India IhIhikIh. Tho great fireily elutor noctilucits is tin inhabitant of the savannahs of most of the warmer parts of America and the West India islands. It is said to attain the length of an inch aud u half. In the gloom of night these Hies are extremely luminous, and the effect is brilliant. The light ehielly proceeds from four parts, viz., from two gland ular spots behind tho eyes, and one under each wing. They have the pow er to cut oil" the light at will, in which ease the glandular spots become per fectly opaque. The light of this won derful insect by itself is such that if tho creature bo held in tho palm of the hand, print or manuscript is as easily read as by a candle. The aboriginal natives cage theso creatures and make use of them, it is alleged, as lanterns. Ladies adorn themselves with this electric-like luminary. It is related of Don Domingo Conde, of Cclvimbia, that he would appear on the evening promenade with a large fireily ornamenting tho buckle of his broad hat, while a band of smaller luminous insects surrounded it. The same Span iard lighted his palace with fireilies in silver cages. The display must have been enchanting, for at one time the light is ruddy, at another the tinge is greenish, then there is a change to iroldcn yellow. It is stated that when the Spaniards were about to land one of their expeditions against .Mexico, n panic was caused by these luminaries. The host of Hitting lights on land wtus supposed to be an indication of tho enemy arousing their camp to rosist the attack. When tho English wore attacking the West India islands, tho fireilies were taken to be a Spanish army ad vancing1 with burning matches against them, and the upshot was a hasty re treat to the ship.
