Rtlncj Exposition Tltltor*. C It is ft remarkable fact that any one ward in Philadelphia—you might al most Bay any division of one ward— contributes more to charity in one week than the Paris exposition did during its entire run,” said a young man of the Quaker city who has Just returned from the. French capital. "When the exposition was opened boxes were placed all through the grounds, embellished with signs in va rious languages, setting forth the fact that the contents would be devoted to ■ harity. Millions of people visited the exposition and must have seen these boxes, for they were conspicuously displayed. They were not examnied until after the close of the exposition; and how much do you suppose they all contained? Less than $12! That's a fine record for charity, isn't it?” It is always safe to learn even from our enemies.—Colton, Good deeds and kind words are nev er lost. for Grip Sufferer*: Garfield Ten cleanses the system, purifies the blood, aids digestion and helps nature throw' off disease.

An address by Joseph Choate, Am bassador to Great Britain,on the career and character of Abraham Lincoln— his early life—his early struggles with the world—his character as developed In the later years of his life and his administration, which placed his name so high on the world's roll of honor and lame, has been published by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail way and mr.y be bad by sending six (6) cents in postage to F.

The Marquise de Fontenoy now states, on what she calls official au thority, that the life of the late King Humbert was insured for 36,000,000 lire, or about $7,000,000, and of this amount $6,000,000 was represented in policies in companies In this coun try. Nevertheless, it is believed the marquise has been grotesquely im posd upon in this matter. Buy* Haring Hid Him Good. A venerable graduate of Harvard says that one of the most useful les sons in deportment at Cambridge was given him in his freshman year by a band of sophomores on a midnight visit to his quarters. This alumnus says he was then and there taught how to be civil and polite to his su periors, and that the performance everlastingly took the conceit out of him. Monkey Hklna by tlie Million*. During the past year there was an increase of nearly $30,000 in the value of monkey skins exported from the Gold Coast, from which it is estimated that at least i.000.000 monkeys were killed in that district alone. DOWNFALLS Sometimes in whiter at every ■tep there is danger of SPRAINS and BRUISES which cripple or hurt deeply, but at anv time from whatever cause St Jacobs Oil will cure surely and promptly NEW YORK SNAKES. Tweat;-Five Klud* In the State and Three Are rolnonou*. Edwin C. Eckel of the New York State museum at Albany has compiled facts which show that in New York state 25 kinds of snakes have been found, or can reasonably be expected to occur. Of these several are only varieties, says the New York Sun. The list of snakes is as follows: The worm snake, ring-necked snake, blowing adder, green snake, black snake, racer, pine snake, milk snake, brown snake, De Kay's brown snake, three species of garter snakes, copper head. masasauga or prairie rattlesnake and the banded rattlesnake. It is of some interest to note that only the last three of the above list are poisonous. Of these, the copperhead is found usu ally in marshy or swampy land, while the banded or common rattlesnake is commonly an inhabitant of rocky hills. The masasauga is a smaller species than the banded rattlesnake and has never been found in this state except in one swamp near the Genesee river. Both the copperhead and the rattle snake are much rarer than is common ly supposed, the latter being practic ally confined to the Adirondack region and to those parts of Orange and Rock land counties which fall within the highlands of the Hudson. Deaths from their bite are very rare, probably not exceeding, in this state, one case in five years. The copperhead, while smaller than the rattlesnake, and therefore less venomous, is generally regarded as the more dangerous of the two species. This is due to the fact that the rattlesnake will, in general, give warning of his intention to strike, while the copperhead lies silently and motionless until his victim is within reach of his fangs. Though frequently one sees in print descriptions of meth ods by which poisonous snakes can be differentiated from harmless species, few of the tests commonly given can lie applied at a safe distance, and some of them are not applicable to all of our poisonous snakes. For example, it has been often stated that the pois onous snakes have many small scales covering the tops of their heads, while the harmless varieties are covered with a few comparatively largo plates. This is true as far as the banded rattlesnake is concerned, but both the masasauga and the copperhead have the large head-plates like harmless snakes. The thickness of thti body is also, to some degree, a sign of a poisonous snake, but the harmless blowing adder also possesses this peculiarity. The head of the poisonous snakes is very mark edly triangular, looked at from above, while the neck is comparatively thin and well marked off from both body and head. In the harmless species on the contrary, the head is more or less unmarked. Doctor'! Diseases Almost Unconquerable. That medical practitioner who as pires to reach the Scriptural age of threescore and ten will be discouraged at the figures which have been com piled by Alfred Moeglich, one of those Germans given to the habit of disa greeable statistics. According to Moeg lich the average time of death for u doctor varies from 52 to 66 years, while for the clergy it is ten years later. The combination of pedagogy with medicine appears to be particu larly fatal, for one set of figures In which the normal death rate is repre sented by 100 gives 111 as the factor for physicians, and 113.8 for medical instructors. Of the causes of death in fectious diseases rank highest, and among these typhoid fever occupies so prominent a place as almost to entitle it to characterization as an oc cupation disease. Tuberculosis comes next, the death rate from this cause among physicians being almost dou ble that of the clergy. Altogether it is rather a melancholy fact to realize that the men whose life work it is to teach others how to keep their health or to regain it if lost, should them selves be unable to profit by their own knowledge, and should be so complete ly at the mercy of the great bodily and mental stress to which their call ing subjects them. l.auiu lilnR lllg Battleships. It costs from $4,000 to $8,000 to launch a battleship—for the launch ing only. One of Cramp s men says: "The building of the ways for the ship to slide down over is the main item, and then comes the greasing. Every inch of timber over which the vewsel slides must be covered with a lubricant. Soap and tallow form the main ingredients. We use a layer of beef tallow and a layer of soft soap. Between one and one and a half tons of the stuff is required to move the average battleship. The tallow is spread on first, to the depth of about three fingers, and the workmen use big. flat trowels to make the surface as smooth as possible. Then they pour over the soft soap, which is Just thick enough to run, or about the consist ency of tar. The double coating an swers admirably, and the ship glides into the water as if it were sailing on air. If it sticks, it is likely to spring some of the vessel's plates, and acci dents of that kind are so costly that nothing is spared to avert them.” Preparing for Missionary Work. Brother Leo is the name by which William Uallinger, eldest son of the senator from New Hampshire, is known to the religious world of the Episcopal church. His novitiate has begun in the order of the Atonement at the monastary at Graymore, three r.g'.es distant from Garrison-on-the Hudson. At the end of two years Brother I^eo will be formally ordained a priest of the Episcopal church, and after that date Father Leo will go out upon his chosen work as a missionary. Evart’ft Oatdon*. Ex-Senator Williams M. Evarts is do longer the champion framer of [long sentences. He frequently made a ; record of 500 words, but has been far i outdone by Rastus S.

The arch of white immortelles, wku n keystone of red carnations, bearing the legend, "Verdict of the People,’’ presented to Senator Quay on the morning of his return to the senate after two years of enforced exile, cost $140 in good, hard money. It was bought and designed by employes in the various executive departments who maintain a vot ng residence in Pennsylvania and secured the:r posi tions through Mr. Quay's influence. These all contributed pro rata and bonght the largest and most expensive floral tribute ever appearing in the I'nited States senate. The greatest things rise from the simplest truths.

She is a very popular and influential lady. For three years she has been ill. Now she Is well. She says: “1 cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly for what they have done for me. I was troubled for three years with weakness, and often had dizzy spells, so that I dared not go out alone. My head would ache continually for four or five days at a time, until life became simply a burden. “All the medicine I took did me no good, until my physician advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 secured a box, and soon found that my head ache was leaving me. I felt encourag ed and kept on taking them and get ting stronger. The pains gradually diminished, until I had used four boxes, and all trace of pain had gone. I am today a strong and well woman, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills. If the price was one dollar per pill, instead of 60c a box, they would be cheap, compared with other so-called medi cines placed before a suffering public."

Red, Rough Hands, Itching, Burning Palms, and Painful Finger Ends* One Night Treatment • Soak the hands on retiring in a strong, hot, creamy lather of CUTICURA SOAP, Dry, and anoint freely with CUTICURA, the great skin cure and purest of emollients. Wear, during the night, old, loose kid gloves, with the finger ends cut off and air holes cut in the palms. For red, rough, chapped hands, dry, fissured, itching, feverish palms, with shapeless nails and painful finger ends, this treatment is simply wonderful, and points to a speedy cure of the most distress ing cases when physicians and all else fail. Cared by Culicura 1WAS troubled with hands so sore that when I put them in water the tain would near set me crazy, the skin would peel off, and the flesh would get hard and break, then the blood would flow from at least fifty places on each hand. Words never can tell the suffering I endured for three years. I tried at least eight doctors, but my hands were worse than when I commenced doctoring. I tried every old Granny remedy that was ever thought of without one cent’s worth of good and could not even get relief. I would feil so badly mornings when I got up, to think that I had to go to work and stand pain for eight or nine hours, Uiat I often felt like giving up my Job, which was in the bottling works of Mr. E. L. Kerns, the leading cottier of Trenton, N. J., who will vouch for the truth of my sufferings. i Before I could start to work, I would have to wrap each finger on both hands, and then wear gloves, which I hated to do, for when I came (#take them off, it would take two hours and the flesh would break and bleed. Some of my friends who had seen my hands would say, "If they had such hands they would have them amputated”» others would say "they would never work,” and more would turn away in disgust. But thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of skin cures, it ended all my sufferings. Just to think, after doctoring three years, and spending dollar after dollar during that time, Cuticura cured me. It has now been two years since I used it and I do not know what tore hands are. I never lost a day’s work while I was using ft or since, and I have been working at the same business, and in acids, etc. THOS. A. CLANCY, 310 Montgomery St, Trenton, N. J.
