At an auction sale of the effects of a deceased woman in Ixmdon the other day a safe was purchased by a man named Ponder. ' Behind one of the compartments Mr. Ponder found securites to the value of $52,000. Such a discovery would cause most men to ponder as to the expediency of mak ing it known.

It is not a comr-on occurence that a friendly word should be the means of giv ing nearly lorty years of happiness and health to the person heeding the advice it carried. This was the case with Mary Lineard. At twenty-five she was dragging out her days ill misery. At sixty-oue she finds herself so active and strong she can do work that would shame many a younger woman, and looks back on’ thirty-six happy, healthful years of industry. But let her tell her story : “Thirty-six years ago I had great trouble with my liver. The doctors allowed that there were tumors growing on it, and they blistered my side in an effort to give me relief. I was at that time earning my living as a tailoress, but for five years, between the pain in ray side au’d the blisters I was in constant misery, and work was a drag to me, with no prospect of relief; fortunately for me, however, a friend advised me la take Dr. Ayer’s Sar saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take a regular course of it. When I first com menced taking the Sarsaparilla my side was so painful that I could not fasten my dress, and for a time I did not get any reliel. but my friend advised me to per severe and relief was sure to.come, and come it did. This happened, as I say, thirty-six years ago. My liver has never troubled me since, and during these years I have passed through the most critical period of a woman’s life without any par ticular trouble, and to-day, at sixty-one years of age. I am active and strong, and able to do a day’s work that would upset many a younger woman. Ever since my recovery I have taken a couple of bottle* of Dr. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla each spring, and am quite satisfied that I owe my good health to this treatment. I give this testi monial purely in the hope that it may meet the eye of some poor sufferer.”— Mary Discard, Woodstock, Out. Dr. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has won its wny to every corner of the world by the praise of its friends; those who have tried it and .who know thev were cured by the use of the remedy, There is nothing so strong as this personal testimony. It throws all theories and fancies to the winds and stands solidly upon the rock of experi ence challenging every skeptic with a positive "1 know.'* Ayer’s Sarsaparilla with its purifying and vitalizing action on the blood is a radical remedy for evciy form of disease that begins in tainted or impure blood. Hence tumors, sores, ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis eases yield promptly to this medicine. Some cases are more stubborn than others, but persistence with Dr. Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla usually results in a complete cure. ; Mary bingard began with a bottle, and went on to a course of Dr. Aver’s Sarsapa i rilla. When she was cured she realized that a medicine that could cure disease j could also prevent it. So she took a couple | of bottles each spring and kept in perfect ! health. There are thousands of similar I cases on record. Some of these are | gathered into Dr. Ayer’s Curebook, a little j book of 100 pages which is sent freebv the I J. C. Ayer Co., Dowell, Mass. Write for it* They are telling this story in Lon don about tne Countess Waldegrave, tvho was married four times: One evening she appeared at the ofera in Dublin, during her fourth husband’s occupancy of the post of the chief sec retary for Ireland. An audacious celt, catching sight cf her ladyship in one of the boxes shouted out with real Irish tenerily “Lady Waldgrave, whicn of the four did you like best?’’ The- countess was equal to the occas ion. Without a moment's hesitation, she rose from her seat and exclaimed enthusiastically: “Why, the Irish man, of course”—a remark which nat urally “brought down the house.” Garlic came from Asia and has been used since the earliest times.

There are 36 principal examiners, an examiner of interferences and an examiner of trade marks, and each is practically a court. There is also a board of examiners-in-chief, composed of three men. Prom the adverse decision of an examiner, appeal may be made to the examiner-in-chief upon payment of $10. From the decision of the cxam ipers-in-chief to the commissioner upon payment of $20, and from his decision to the court of appeals of the District of Columbia. It is the duty of examiners in the U. S. Patent Office to make objections and refuse claims for patents as often as they can find good reason for do ing so, and the duty of an attorney to overcome all objections raised if it is possible to do so. An attorney who does not know his rights and invent ors’ rights and lacks the patience, ability ' and cwurage to prosecute claims, in other words maintain his rights, regardless of the time and labor required to do so, is not such an attorney as an inventor should employ to secure a patent.

Miont on » Tar with the “Ulack Role** of Calcutta* The other day a pi I oner wac brought to the baf in one of the fedeial courts ;>f Indian territory. He was tolil that he could have his choice of a jail or a pen itentiary sentence. "Judge," said he, "let me go to the penitentiary. For God's sake, don't send me back to that jail." At Ardmore the space between •two brick buildings is iqclosed by walls across the front and rear of the lot. A roof partially covers the inelosure. The gable ends are open and u driving rain or snow storm wets the Interior. The mud of the dirt floors is often ankle deep. Such Is one of the United States jails of the territory. Under this shed and in the mud the federal pris oners awaiting trial are herded by guards, who patrol the front and rear day and night. At South McAlester is the second of these national disgraces. It is a stone building 50 feet wide by about 80 feet long. The sides of the building are without openings of any kind. In one end is a door. In the opposite end are two windows. The only air that can enter is by the doer and the two windows. Men and women prisoners are confined in this stone building. Recently the number thus housed was 17G. The smell which comes from the interior is such that few persons can approach the door without being sickened. At Muscogee is the third of the territpry jails. A fire destroyed the old building in use and a new structure, crude for such purposes, hut a marked Improvement on the other two jails, is now in use. These three places, two of them with out counterparts in the whole country, are employed to hold between 700 and 800 prisoners, either awaiting trial or under sentence. They are the only jails for a population of 300,000 white peo ple. After the first of the year the federal courts will supersede the In dian courts and the three jails may serve as well for the Indian popula tion. To keep the 700 or 800 prisoners within these “black holes” the United States pay $40,000 a year to jailers and keepers. The course of the govern ment toward Indian territory has been, reprehensible in many respects. There is nothing, however, which calls more loudly for reform than these horrible makeshifts for prisons. EARNED HIS ANNUAL TREAT. Drove the Old Gentleman When He Pursued the Eloping Couple. “As long as my employer lives,” said the big workman to the Detroit Free Press man, “I'm sure of just as fine a dinner for Thanksgiving as the marlcef affords.” “Invited to his house?” “No, of course not. He has too much sense to set me down to a table with a lot of the upper crust. I’d feei like crawling under the board and could no more eat than if I was gagged and handcuffed. He sends the stuff to the house, and we never get it all clos ed out much before Christmas.” “Does he treat all his men that way?” “Couldn’t afford it. He has hundreds of them, you know. But me and him had what he calls an escapade a good many year$ ago. You know, I was a coachman for old Grinder. He had a daughter, the prettiest woman in the state, and with spirit enough to lead an army. My present boss fell in love with her and she with him. Grinder fairly kicked the roof off the house and told me to dp the same with the young boss if I ever caught him on the prem ises. But, to begin with, I’d do any thing on earth for my young mistress. Then I was in love with her maid and she told me mighty plain that if I took sides with old Grinder against his daughter I’d have to go away from home to do my courting. It was a warm Thanksgiving day when the young folks planned to elope. The mistress wanted me to drive them, but I told her in a meanin’ way like that I better drive the old gentleman when he took up the chase. She saw the point and told me not to hurt him se rious. "Sure enough, when Grinder heard the girl had slipped away after dinner, he was a cyclone. Away we went in a light buggy with a fast horse. On the creek bottom road I managed an upset and dragged him through slush and mud for a quarter of a mile. He was mad enough to murder some one, but he was too proud to own he was beat en, so he forgave the young folks and set the boss up in business.” Former Seaport Now Far Inland.

A Total Disability Claim of $1,650 Paid to a Man Who Was Afterward Cured. The Monitor, a newspaper published at Meatord. Ont., Canada, first discovered this rase two years ago, and published it at length, which now seems, owing to the cure of it, to be a miracle.. The facts were so remarkablo that many people doubted the truth of them. They said: "it istoo re markable: it cannot ]>ossibly be true: the paper is mistaken, and the man. although he may think himself cured, will soon re lapse into liis former condition,” etc., etc. The accuracy of its report called in ques tion, the Monitor determined to find out definitely whether the facts were as stated and whether the man would really Man cured. They accordingly kept a -close watch on the case for two yeara after the j openlngbis mouth sufficiently wide to take solid food. The doctors called the disease spi nal sclerosis, and all said he could notlive. For three years he lingered in this con dition. Then l>y some friends he was ad vised to take i)r. WillintiiH’ Pink Pills for P'ale People. He took them and there was a slight change. The first thing noted was a tendency to sweat freely. This showed there was some life left in his helpless body Next came a little feeling in his limbs. This extended, followed bv pricking sensa tions.until at last the blood began to course freely, naturally and vigorously through his body, nud the helplessness gave way to returning strength, the ability to walk returned, and he teas restored to hie old time health. I am in eren better health than when I gave you the first interview." “Do yon still attribute your cure to the nee of Dr. Williams’ Pink Fills;'’ asked the Monitor. “Unquestionably I do,” was the reply. “Doctors had failed, as had also the numer ous remedies recommended by my friends. Nothing 1 took had the slightest effect upon me until I began the use of Dr. Williams’ Fink Pills. To thin wonderful medicine T owe mg release from the living death. I have since recommended these pills to many of my friends, and the verdict is always in their favor. I shall always bless the day I was induced to take them.” Huch is the history of one of the most remarkable cases of modern times. Can any first article appeared, and have just now published another article about it in which the original reports air completely verified,the cure is permanent. ami they publish a foe simile of the, check given by the, Canadian Mu tual r.tfc Association for titlM.W) amount of to tal disability claim pnidhy them to Mr. Peti'h. The first account stated that the patient (see uddress below) had been a paralytic tor live yeurs.that there was such a total lack of feeling in his limbs and body, thntn pin run full length could not be felt; that he could not walk or help himself at all: for two years he was not dressed; furthermore that ho was bloated was for that reason al most unrecognizable, and could not get his clothes on. The paralysis was so complete as to affect the face and prevented him from The above is the substance of the first article published by the .Monitor. Now fol low some clippings, taken from the same paper two years afterward, ami there is not the slightest shadow of doubt, in view of this testimony, thnt Mr. Vetch's cure is permanent. Hero follows the account: On being nguin questioned, Mr. Vetch said: “ Yon see those hands—the skin is now natural and elastic. Once they were hard and without sensation. You could pierce them with a piu anil 1 would not feel it. uml what is true of my hands is true of therext of my body. Perhaps you have observed that I have now even ceased to use a cane, and can get about my business perfectly well. You may say there in absolutely rw doubt as to my cure briny permanent. Indeed one say. in the face of such testimony, that Ur. Williams’ Pink Pills are not entitled to the careful consideration of any suffering man, woman or child; Is not the case in truth a miracle of modern medicine? To make the evidence complete we publish above a f'ic similo cut of the check received by Mr. Patch'from the Canadian Mutual Life Association, being the amount duehim for total disability. It is unnecessary to add thut this life insurance association did not pay this large amount of money to Mr. Fetch, except ufter the most caret ul exam ination of his condition by their medical experts. They must have regarded him as forever incurable. Mr. Fetch's address is as follows, Reuben Petch, Oriersville. Out., Canada.

Speaking of the late President Cat tell of Lafayette college, the Phila delphia Press says: "A general win ning personality, the dead divine de voted the middle period of his life, thirty years in all, to the cause of education. ' tn this period, by reason of ability to command the attention of the young and win the confidence of he influential his fame is largely con nected with his developement of La fayette college, which, under his con trol, prospered '-as never before and became one of the leading institu tions of the state.” A young woman in Chicago sup ports herself by caring for other peo ple's birds and flowers. She goes daily from house to house, feeding and watering pet birds and cleaning their cages. She then turns her atten tion to the plants and window boxes, cleansing leaves and giving a dose of fertlizer when needed, and in other ways keeping her feathered and floral patients in excellent condition.
