Or« Wlf«* Hni Tlir«-« II «• bund*. Ll/zio Anderson, or Kile. Pa., ag.-j 37, was married three times, and yet was not legally separated from tiny of her husbands. Death brought them together, and they shook hands silent ly over her coffin. She met and mar tied Jesse Samson when but a young girl, but eloped with Moses Arm strong. Soon afterward she left him and was wedded to Noah Anderson, i he husbands were sworn enemies and never spoke. No legal proceedings were taken and the matter rifver got into the courts. Then she got sick and was thought to be dying. She ral lied, but again had a relapse. She died last week. Then it was that the three men met at her coffin. Samson stretch ed out his hand slowly, and they all forgave. A Cartoon Saved His I.ife. Several weeks ago an abeess devel oped in the stomach of William Thorpe, a resident of Quantico, Md. The growth so weakened him that physicians feared to use the knife and patient was slowly dying. A f< w days ago he saw a Philadelphia paper in which there was a cartoon making fun of Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania. Thorpe laughed and immediately a stream of blood gushed from his mouth. The doctor happened to cull just then, and after examining Thorpe, declared that the abeess had broken and that the patient would now get well. A DOCTOR THIS TIME. Portland, May 6th —Dr. E. A. Hose, a practising physician, formerly of Yates Center, Kans., was on what everyone supposed was his death bed. He had Diabetes, and six of his brother doctors were in attend ance and consultation at his bedside They had done everything that medi cal skill could suggest to save his life, but they were at last reluctantly forced to tell him that he must prepare for death. His aunt had been summoned to his dying bedside. After the doctors had given her nephew up, she insisted that os a last resort, he be given a treat ment of Dodd’s JCidnty Pills. From the very first dose, .the tide turned in his favor. His life was saved, and he is hale aud hearty to day. This case and its cure has amazed the physicians, and is the sensation ol the hour. It is interesting to note that while many others are being cured this great discovery in medi cine, the physicians themselves are among the first to benefit, and that while the simpler and more prevalent forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and Brinary Trouble and Fe male Weakness disappear before it., the more malignant forms, such as Bright's Disease. Diabetes and Dropsy, which have always been regarded as incurable, are yielding just as easily. Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super ceding all other treatment for Kidney Disease, and as nrariy all human sick ness and suffering lias its origin in the Kidneys, the use of this wonderful medicine is becoming almost universal. Work of One Woman, There will be only one building at the Pan-American exposition in Buf falo designed in its entirety by a wo man, and that one is the structure which will represent the states of New England. The woman whose bril liancy as an architect has gained for her this honor is Mi83 Josephine Wright Chapman of B> ston. For Good Ko»dn. “We want good roads,” which has so long been the slogan of the D agu" of American Wheelmen, is now to be taken up by the Automatic club of America. The movement is to be for mally launched at a banquet to be he'd at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, New York, on the evening of April IS, when the list of guests will include the sec retary of war, the governors of the states of New York and New Jersey, the New York engineer, the state com missioner of roads for New Jersey and the director general of the Pan-Amer ican exposition. TSie Oldcnt Doctor. The oldest duly qualified physician in the world resides at Carlsbad in the person of Callus Ritter von Hoehber ger, M. D., imperial and royal coun selor of the Austrian court. He was bom on October 1,5, 1803, and, there fore, is 07 years old. He lias been in practice for sev< nty-four years and still gives medical advice. DOUGLAS FACTORY To Be Enlarged Before ttie First of July. Vv .11 .’lake 0.000 Fairs Daily. Advertising pays. \V. L. Douglas is going to increase the capacity of his factory to G.000 pairs of shoe3 per day. The addition will add 10,000 square foot of space for manufacturing purposes. At the same time a now 400 horse-power engine and an additional 150 horse-power boiler will be Installed, which will afford ade quate power for the present and an other addition to the factory, which will no doubt be necessary later on. When the factory starts up the first of July it will be on an output of 500 dozen or C.COO pairs of shoos per day, and the weekly pay roll, exclusive of office help, superintendent, foremen, etc., will be $22,000 per week. The Douglas salesmen on the road are sell ing 25 per cent more goods than last season. The increased sales is the di rect result of good shoemaking nnd ex tensive advertising. The advertising expenditure of Mr. Douglas is now larger than at any period of his busi ness, and this is to bo still further in creased. Beginning this week half page advertisements of the Douglas shoe will appear in all the principal newspapers of the large cities, as well as such papers as the Youth's Compan ion.—Brockton, Mass., Times. Peculiarities are certain traits which your neighbor has which are different hom your own traits. I WHERE UFE IS PRIMITIVE, Hri4«* anti 4ar<»oui ll»«l N<*ver Nenn a St<*ani Car. Taere are plenty of places where life I is very primitive. The Washington j Star tells this story: “I witnessed a ! marriage the oilier day in which the | bride and groom both live within fifty i miles of Washington, yet neither has j ever seen a steam or electric car,” said a drummer to a Star reporter. ‘ You will no doubt be surprised when I tell you there are hundredds of people living over in Virginia who have ’never been to town.' Iiut to the mar riage. During a recent trip one of ; the friends of the groom met me in i a country store and cordially extended an invitation to take a drive across coimtry to witness the ‘hitchin’.’ I very gladly availed myself of the op j portunity, and we arrived at onr des I tination in good time. The neighbor hood was well represented, the male contingent being congregated in the barn, where a barrel of hard cider was on tap. We were soon notified that the ceremony was about to take place, and we all filed into the 'best' room. I shall never forget the ap pearance of the contracting parties. The groom was an undersized though powerfully built young fellow. He was dressed in a pair of jean overalls, a stiff shirt, no collar, a fancy, old-time vest, but no coat. The bride, who was at least six feet in height, was dressed in a calico wrapper, a piece of pink ribbon around her neck, a little old fashioned bonnet on her head, but barefooted. After the ceremony the happy couple received the congratu lations of the assembled company, ev ery man and woman present kissing the bride. Pretty soon one of the guests brought out a violin and danc ing was indulged in the rest of the | evening. When I expressed my sur i prise that the bride should be bare ! footed I was told that there were lots of women in that section that had nev er known what it was to wear shoes." FRESH-WATER SAILORS. Tlictr Live* on the Great lake* Are Full of Danger. “If any man thinks the American sailor is a thing of the past he should J spend a while on the great lakes,” j said C. F. Bailey of Duluth, Minn. S “The American fresh-water sailor is every bit as picturesque a personag* as was the 'salt' of early days, who carried our merchant dug into every | port of the world. His life is just as j full of hardship and just as full of dangers,” quotes the Washington Post. “There is a large fleet of three and four masted schooners on the lakes, and stories of the wrecking of them ; come with every big storm. A nastier body of water than Lake Erie when it I comes on to blow can be found no ; where and some of the experiences of i the life-saving crews along its shores j are the most thrilling in the history of the service. The men who take the big steamers, of course, have not much of romance in their lives, but there are enough of the old sailing vessels left to keep a considerable army of men employed. Any skipper who can nav igate a schooner from Duluth to Buf ; falo is a good enough sailor to sail ' around the world and he will do as well as the next man to take care of his vessel in the roughest sea the At | lantic Effect of Altltnilo on the Hlootl. The effect of altitude on the blood has been studied in New Mexico with | interesting and perhaps valuable re j suits. Dr. Maltby undertook the work ! at the suggestion of the director of ' the biological laboratory of the Uni | versify of New Mexico, and the study. , interrupted for a time by the death | of Dr. Maltby, has been continued by Prof. Weinzel. It was found, a cor respondent of the Denver Republica i repoKs, that the blood corpuscles are greatly increased when a person from a low altitude reaches a higher one, bu this effect, with the powerful stimulus i involved, is only transitory. Observa tions showed that while persons who i have long resided in New Mexico have no more corpuscles than others in lower regions, these same persons may renew or repeat the original effect of altitude by a sort residence at the sea level or elsewhere. What amounts to the same thing is the fact that one by residing at 4,000 or 5,000 feet may secure all the powerful stimulating ef fect of the altitude on the blood by periodical visits to the altitude of San ta Fe or Magdalena, 2,000 lect higher. In these cases the effect Is greatly in creased by out-of-door life and exer cise, because there is an intimate re lation between the activity of the lungs and this blood stimulation, it was also found that rabbits kept In confinement would show the same increase on be j ing carried from Albuquerque to Camp ! Whitcomb. It is thought that the re j suit of the inquiry may have an im portant bearing on the treatment o! consumption.—New York Post. Salt Water Fifth. The number of species of fishes liv ing habitually in the salt waters of the world can only be approximately estimated, probably about ten thou sand. Those classed as “shore fishes” live, as a rule, close to the surface and near the land, anil are well known to tlie salt water angler in his outings as the weak fish, striped baits, kingflsh, etc. Of the shore fishes there are about four thousand species. The “pelagic j fishes,” or those which inhabit the up I per waters of the seas, are relatively few in number. The “deep-sea fishes,” | which live in depths varying from two ! hundred fathoms to twenty-five hun i dred fathoms, cannot be even approxi j mutely estimated, as new species arc j being constantly discovered.—Field j and Stream.

Disregard for the law against ex pectorating in public conveyances has at last moved the New York health department to action. Tuesday morn ing seventy officers of the department in citizen's attire were detailed to travel all day in the cars of the various companies throughout the city and on all tlie ferry boats. They had orders to arrest any person found violating the ordinaee. Before noon several men were compelled to accompany the offi cers to a magistrate's court, where they wrere fined and warned against a repetition of the offense. flnm Ilcnril Eighty-Four Mile*. An interesting matter, from a scien tific point of view, in connection witn the death of the queen is the distance at which the sound of firing was heard when the lleet saluted as the body was conveyed from Cowes to Portsmouth. Letters in the English journals of science show that the sounds of the guns were heard in several places at a distance of sixty miles, and that at a distance of sixty miles the concus sions were sufficiently intense to shake windows.

A novel method of boring holes in I a fiat bar of iron was recently adopted I on a flat ship where a breakdown oc j curred. To repair the breakage it wras ! necessary to make bolt holes in the square bar, and as the engineer was without the appliances required for the purpose he marked the exact places in chalk and then fired a 30-caliber bullet through from a rifle.

EX-UNITED STATES MARSHAL MATTHEWS. OF MISSISSIPPI. Hon. S. S. Matthews, ex-United States Marshal of Mississippi, in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Company of Columbus. Ohio, written from Hazelhurst, Miss., says: \ •• / am happy to say that I am cured of catarrh and need ro more attention from you. It is a great satisfaction that I am able to write you that Peruna has in my case done ell that you claim, and that I will need no more medicine." The groat multitude take tills rema* edy without any other advice than tha directions to be found upon the bottle and In the pamphlets. There are those who prefer, however, to correspond with Dr. Hartman during their sick ness. To all such he will make prompt and careful answer without charge. Hon. J. F. Crooker of Buffalo, N. Y.f who was for years Superintendent ot Schools at Buffalo, in a letter dated Oc tober 16, writes: “ I have been a sufferer from ca tarrh six or iiuiiiuiii.iiu.iiiiiutu seven years, 3 and a f t e r 3 trying many l remedies w a s 5 induced by a : friend to take 3 Peruna.

Doviner, Congressman from West Virginia, in a letter from Washington, D. C., to The Peruna Med icine Co., says the following of their catarrh remedy, Peruna: “I join with my colleagues in the House of Representatives in recom mending your excellent remedy, Pe runa, as a good tonic and also an ef fective cure for catarrh.” Mrs. Mary C. ^'entress writes from Paradise, Tex., the following: "I think I can say that your good advlc* and medicine has cured me of chronlo catarrh. I have had no pains in my head since 1 have taken Peruna. I have been in bad health ever sine* '59, and have taken a good many med icines which were only of temporary relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. Th* Peruna stopped my catarrh of the head so that it did not become chronic, and 1 am very thankful for Dr. Hartman’* advice and medicine.” Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal diseases. It acts quickly and bene ficially upon the inflamed mucou* membrane, thus removing the cause of j catarrh. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. Catarrh is essentially the same every where. The remedy that will cure ca tarrh in one situation will cure it In all situations.
