The tobacco habit grows on a man un til his nervous system is 3erioualy affect ed, impairing health, oomfort and happi ness. To quit suddenly is too severe a shock to the system, as tobacco, to an in veterate user, beeomes a stimulant that his system continually craves. “Baoo Curo” is a scientific oure for the tobacco habit, in all its forms, carefully com pounded after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who has used it in his private practice since 1S72, without a failure. It is purely vegetable and guar anteed perfectly harmless. You can use all the tobaoco you want while taking '‘Bnoo-Curo.” It will notify you when to stop. We give a written guarantee to cure permanently any oase with three . boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent, interest. “Baoo-Uuro” is not a substitute, but a scientific oure, that cures without the aid of will power and with no inoonvenienee.

For fifteen years I tried to quit, but couldn’t.

The burial of a Trappiet ie a pecu liar and solemn ceremony. Immedi ately attar a monk is dead, the body, dressed in the monastic robe, is stretch ed on a simple board, the head covered with the cowl, and then taken to the monastery chapel. There the body re mains until the day of interment, four yellow wax candles burning all the time, and all the monks In turn recit ing the prayers of the liturgy, night and day. On the day of burial the prayers for the dead and a requiem mass are chanted, after which all the monks form In procession to follow their brother to his last resting place. During the funeral procession psalms are chanted in the mournful tones pe culiar to the Trapptst Order. When the cemetery is reached more prayers are recited and then the body is slowly lowered Into the grave, not In a coffin, but simply dressed In the monastic robe worn during life. A monk then goes down into the grave to cover his dead brother’s face with a cowl, after which the officiating priest slowly throws a shovelful of earth over the body. Two other monks do the same, and then the grave Is filled up in the ordinary way. After the burial the pro cession returns to the chapel in the same order. * The Trapplst cemetery Is always placed In the interior yard of the mon astery, so that the dead may always be In view of the living, and as soon as one monk is buried, another grave next to the one just filled Is at once par tially dug up, that each may see the place where he may possibly be laid before long. It Eibu Ul • Until Way, But lit Palmy SJ»y« Have Patted. In a large wholesale way of busi ness, Levantine piracy may be called extinct. No longer are the tideless waters swept by the galleys of the Al gerine, nor do we often at ohurch find collections being made for mariners captive among the Moors. The gen ial old ruffian who made his prisoners drink to the king over the water is to tally extinct But in a small way, with very limited capital and enter prise sadly thwarted, the isles that burning Sappho loved and sang still see a good deal of business done on the old lines. The practice rather resembles maritime burglary, per haps, than anything worthy to be called piracy, and the practitioners are natives of mixed race. A small schooner or vessel, a hardy crew, a few Lucifer matches, and such revolv ers as can be procured suffice for an outfit. The method is commonly as follows-. The shores of the isles are studded by little villages as far from the sweet ministry of the police as wild Kintail, and we cannot put it more strongly. The wealth of the villagers mainly consists in old silver vessels and orna ments, often of beauty and great an tiquity. A sponge diver, for example, has found more than sponges. In the British museum there is a recent acquisition, a pot made of gold, weighing as much as 100 sovereigns. This was brought up from a classical wreck by a sponge diver, and it is likely enough that such discoveries are frequently made and concealed. The villagers have also the silver orna ments of their women's dowries, often old and curious, and there may be a few relics of antique gems, rings, necklets, and armlets, spoils of ravges ot the Mycenaean age. Ab the tax gatherers are prompt to levy on all property,this little wealth is,of course, carefully hidden, perhaps under the thatch. The pirate’s first care is to obtain private information as to who Is rich among the people apparently as destitute as the old fishermen in Theocritus. When he has learned as much as he can he launches his bark under some equivalent for the Jolly ltoger, he lands at the sleeping village under cover of night, surrounds the cottage, and, as a rule, places the householder on fire, or ties him up in a sack with a pair of cats, or other wise prevails on him to disclose the hiding plaoe of his valuables. Then the gallant pirate sails away and it is all over. ~ •» ■ ~ ———*"TT - ' Oinht’i Rival ta Saadow. Omaha has a genuine phenomenon in the way of a strong -nan, a regular coming Sandow. Ills name is Alois Swobcda and he is but 22 years of age. He was born in Vienna, Austria, and la a fine example of what a man can make ot himself physically If he goes at it the right way. Swoboda has been ex amined frequently by physicians and they are unanimoua on the point that he is a marvel .of muscular develop ment. The muscles all over hia body, when contracted, are as hard as steel, and when relaxed as soft as a girl’s. The measurements of Omaha’s Hercu les are as follows: Height, 5 feet six; weight, 145; chest, 45 Inches; waist, 28%; expansion, 14 Inches; biceps, 16; thigh, 23%; wrist, 7. He has a perfect physique and enormous strength. He toys with a 250-pound dumb-bell as a boy would handle a feather duster and tears two packs of cardB in two with the wonderful strength of his hands. He has a system of training peculiarly hia own. Compelled to Be Twice Married* Edward Robinson of Newport, Ky., went to Cincinnati recently and secured a license to marry Ruth Simpson, a Newport girl. They were married by Squire McClure of Newport, who did not examine the license closely. Then they went on a wedding trip. When the squire made his return to the coun ty clerk he saw that the license war issued in Ohio and that the ceremony by him was illegal. The parties were recalled from their honeymoon and cor rected the mistake by a ceremony in Cincinnati. To ALL orriei or BLACKWCLI/S DURHAM TOBACCO COMPANY. DURHAM. N. 0.
