Las spring his neck was nearly covered with little boils which grew in number and alze until they turned to carbuncles. Every thing the doctors did seemed to Aggravate the Disease.

A San Fracisco young man was commissioned by his father to go and look at a new stock of Bibles, which j had been sent our. as samples by hd ■ eastern firm. The young man was told to examine the assortment carefully, with a view to purchasing a quantity for the house. Now the young man in question is an excellent fellow and pretty well informed upon almost all subjects except Bibles, sc he scrutaniz ed the collection with genuine interest and curiosity. “Are Bibles used now as much as they used to be? he inquired, with a thoughtful air, turning the leaves of one with respectful curiosity. The eastern firm’s representative, who had been expatiating upon the superi ority of his goods and had been bring ing to bear all of his power to effect a sale, hastened to assort that there never was such a lively demand for them as at the present. “But,” interposed the young man in a dreamily retrospective way, “I think you are a little behind the times, [no tice that yon have a number of old tes taments. I thought that they were quite out of date now, and that only the New Testaments were used. And what does this mean he continued, quoting a passage from Genesis. “Why, man alive!” exclaimed the drummer, “you don’t expect me to know wnat’s inside these books, do you?

Tf the following letters had been written fey. tout best known and most esteemed naigbbors they could be no more worthy of your confidence than they now are, coming, as they do, from well known, intelligent, and trustworthy citizens, who, in their several neighborhoods, enjoy the fullest confidence ana respect of all who know them. The subject of the above portrait is a well known and much respected lady, Mrs. John G. Foster, residing at No. 88 Chapin Street, Canandaigua, N. Y. She writes to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y., as follows: “I was troubled with eczema, or salt-rheum, seven years. I doctored with a number of our home physicians and received no benefit whatever. I also took treatment from physicians in Rochester, New York, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Binghamton, and '^ived no benefit from them. In fact .ve paid out hundreds of dollars to the jtors without benefit. Mv brother came j visit us from the West and he t^ld me to try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. He had taken it and it had cured him. I have ta’-en ten bottles of the ‘Discovery,’ and am entirely cured, and if there should be any one wishing any information I would gladly correspond with themf if they enclose return stamped envelope. ’’ Not less remarkable is the following from ' Mr. J. A. Buxton, a prominent merchant of Jackson. N. C., who says: “I had bean troubled with skin disease all my Ufa As I grew older the disease seemed to be taking a stronger hold upon me. I tried manv advertised remedies with no benefit, until I was led to tryDr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Disconery. when I began taking (t my health was very poor : in fact, several persons have since told n that they thought I had the consumption. I weighed only about J2S pounds. The eruption on mv skin was eooompanied by severe itching. It was first confined to my face, but afterwards spraad over the nsek and head, and ths Itching be came simply unbearable. This was my con dition whan I began taking the ‘Discovery.’ When I would rub ths parts affsetsd a kind -af brmmny would fall ea. For a while I saw no change or benefit! from taking the ‘Discovery,’ but I persisted in ita use, keeping my bowels open by taking Dr. Fierce's Pleasant Pellets, and taking as much outdoor exercise as was possible, until I beghn to gain in flesh, and gradually the disease released its hold. I took during the year somewhere from fifteen to eighteen bot tles of the ‘Discovery.’ It has now been four years since I first used it, and though not using scarcely any since the first year, my health continues good. My average weight being 155 to 160 pounds, instead of 125, as it was when I began the use of the ‘ Discovery.’ Many persons have reminded me of my improved appearance. Some say I look younger than I did six years ago when I was married. I am now forty eight years old, and stronger, and enioy better health than I have ever done before in my life.” Yours truly.

Y., oh receipt of six caste for postage, dr, a Book on Scrofulous Diseases, as Hip-Joint INCIDENTS OF A WINDY DAY. Two Runaway Hat*, an Offlclona Citizen and Perhaps a Spree. A wind-propelled brown Derby bat rolled rapidly from Park iow toward , Nassau street yesterday afternoon, j says the New York Sun, pursued by a young man, whose lack of headgear j and eagerness in the chase gave in-' dlcatlon that he was the owner. At the corner of ha sau and Spruee ! streets he collided with an older man and knocked otf the latter's silk bat, which also became the prey of the wind, The two hats rolled merrily down the Spruce street Incline, the Derby well in the .lead, and the two owners followed them, while a crowd gathered to watoh the fun. Up the hill there, came puffin* a portly and comfortable looking party, whose at tention was called to the hats by sundry howls of.“Hi!” “Ho!” “Hey!” and other equally intelligible Inter jections from the owners. The portly party essayed to stop the first hat with his hands, In the manner of one who grabs for a chicken, gingerly, and with an evident fear that it might b te. The Derby dodged nimbly by and the portly one then took a chance at the tall hat. He stuck out his foot. The silk hat lightly tripped over it So did the owner of the Derby, who was close behind and didn’t have time to stop. He plunged forward on the back of his neck, flopped over once and landed squarely upon the silk hat with a force highly detrimental to its appearance. Up he rose with a howl of rage and welted the surprised portly party in the diaphragm. Before the other could retaliate the owner of the silk bat arrived and pokedbisflst.nto the the collar of the proprietor of the brown derby, which was memtirue making good time toward William street. Then there was a real trian gular m x up, and the crowd of spectators howled with glee. Pres ently the man without the brown Derby bethought himself of his hat, having satisfied his rage by kicking the shins of the other two men. He saw it in the act of rolling beneath the feet of a team of dra; ght horses. After they had passed over a micro scopical examination would have been necessary to identify the remains. The owner left them lying in the road, went back to the other two, who had desended from mutilation of each other’s features to mutual objurgation, and suggested that they all have a drink and talk the matter over. They disappeared into a neighboring saloon, and the crowd melted away. Two minutes there after a messenger boy emerged from the saloon and returned shortly with two skull caps. iuBuiu;i> neiuuui uutjN n rong. “I had an experience to be remem bered on e at Moosehead,” said Joseph Williams, a laborer on the Lewiston streets. “Three of us were out on the lake one winter’s day in January when a storm came up. We had a couple of horses and rode on sledges made of splft bir.h poles. To get home and settled in the cabins before night came on was our one wish, hut for two hours the icy clouds had been blowing up on the horizon and now came down in a whirl of snow and icy wind. In half an hour we were lost on the ice. Two hours later we crossed our own tracks again and knew that We had been going about in a circle. To stay out there all night would be death, and to keep on traveling about aimlessly meant to fa 1 at last exhausted. Finally, as the w nd blew keener along the level surface and the snow beat on our bronzed faces with more cutting effect, we caked a bait and discussed again the chances. An old guide who was with us suggested that we let the horses take their own way off the lake. It seemed foolish, but we agreed. Striking the horses smart clips with the whips we were surprised to see them turn each to the left and start off east. We thought this would take us farther into the lake, but submitted, and In half an hour the trees along the bank loomed up through the storm, and we were safe. A horse knows by instinct what a man doubts and questions in such times.”—Lewiston Journal. A Big Si-wer. Philadelphia is going to give the world an excellent object lesson in sewer building,” said Franc.s fleslop ol Pittsburgh to a St Louis Globe Democrat ma 1. “They are building a large sewer on piles, and if they succeed in their undertaking, which is to cost $1,500,000, they will have done a gieat deal toward solving a very difficult problem. This new sewer runs along the bed of the Aramlngo canal, which is too soft to hold the great weight To get over this diffi culty piles of yellow pine twelve inches square are to be driven down to rock bottom about three feet apart At the top of them a heavy plank floor will be placed, and oa th.s a nine-foot sewer will be built ‘■The undertaking has been dis cussed by engineers th oughout the State, and opinions differ very much as to the result of the undertaking, which in several features appears to be daring in the extreme: In this age of engineering advancement it is absuid to say anything is impossible, and the men in charge of this singu lar work are likely to be able t» con vince the world that after all there is something new under the sun.” lAmlts of Ivory. It is difficult tj obtain from 'an elephant's tusk a perfect slab of ivory more than six inches in diameter, as the upper end of the tusk, which is the thickest, is hollow, and the ma terial is coaser than that in the solid part of the tusk. Every part of the tusic is put to use. Even the chips and sawdust are converted into ivory black by burning. , Why not, indeed?

One night, while stop ping at a hotel, her room was entered and robbed. Being a traveling woman and realizing that the same thing was likely to again happen, she hit upon the gimlet as a protective measure. Every night thereafter when fate decreed that ihe must put up at a hotel, she pro duced her gimlets and made windows, doors and transoms secure by boring the gimlet;dean through. One night when she had gimleted her room so that she was absolutely safe from mid night mauraders the cry of “Fire!” was heard. She was up in an instant. She law through the transom the reflection Df flames in the hallway. Escape was cut off from that quarter. She hastily unscrewed the gimlets from the win dow and looking out saw a low roof 30 feet below. So practical a woman must certainly have had a,clothesline handy, and such was the fact. In a; |iffy she had screwed1,two of her much! beloved gimlets into'the wooden sill,! fastened an end of the rope to them* ind climbed down in'; safety to the roof. The gimlets were' Jburned up In the fire but the ingenious , woman laid In another stock, and fromUhat day to this you can always count'on finding' from a half dozen to a dozen of the gimlets in her satchel.—New (York Ad vertiser.

Tabby Lives on Vegetables There is a cat in the seclusion of Hampton Court, England which has become a strict vegetarian, certainly on principle, since there is plenty of meat to be had. This eccentric creature black from nose to tail, has taken for her chief diet scarlet runner beans. Cucumbers she also likes, and carrots, if they are boiled, while she occasion ally nibbles away at other vegetables. But, for some inscrutable reason, this singular cat will not touch fruit, and, although she will drink milk, she re jects the bread that may be mixed with it. Altogether, there is some talk of taking this queer animal to London to have the philosophers talk over her. Kagle Caught by a Dog. An Oregon farmer was returning from meeting one Sunday morning when his dog started in pursuit of some • thing on the other side of a wire fence inclosing a pear orchard. The farmer jumped over the fence and, to his sur prise, saw an eagle just spreading its wings to fly. The dog immediately fastened on to the bird’s leg and the farmer seized it around the neck. For a few minutes there was a tremendous scuffle, but the bird was finally scared or choaked into submission and its legs and wings tied with a section of the wire fence. Then the farmer carried his capture home, put it in a cage and now proudly exhioits it. It is a good plan with young turkeys to put dry chaff or straw in their roost ing places. It will add to their comfort. When the chickens are hatched un der a hen, one of the first things to do after they are well dried is to examine them for lice. Why the Didn't Kun Aw my.
