I deem it my duty to tender thin my testimonial as an offer of gratitude for whet "Kickapoo Indian Sagwa" hits done for me. I came out of the army in the fall of '65, broken down by chronic dyspepsia in its worst form, and was also suffering enlargement of the heart. I consulted the beat physi cians, and visited institutions in the East, and one and all told me the same thing I never could get well. By suggestion of an old comrade I took "Kickapoo Indian Sagwa," and thank God for it. Sagwa has changed my life from misery and pain to one of health and gladness, and I can now cat anything without distress. My heart is all right and my friends, are astonished. The physician who knew of my case and heard of my cure said that a medi cine that is capable of making such a cure, he not only endorses but cheerfully recommends to anyone. If this testimonial comes under the notice of any soldier who is suffering, let him take the word of an old com - rade buy a bottle of Indian Sagwa at once, and way God prosper you with the success of this remedy is the grate ful prayer of James Wakktkeb.

Paleolithic Mnn in America. , In a leading article in Science W. H. Holmes of the Smithsonian Institution, discusses the theorry of n paleolithic t man in Eastern American. He con- j eludes that if there ever was such a ' man, or an ice age man. on the eastern side of this continent the evidence so i far collected in support of the proposi- j tion is so unsatisfactory anil in such a state of utter chaos that the investiga-, tion practically must begin anew. That it will fro begin is rendered certain by the fact that geologists are now show- , mg a decided disposition to take up that part of the work naturally belonging to them, and that primitive forms of art in stone are now for the first time receiving the critical attention neces sary to make them available in a scicn- ' tific discussion. ' Old Postage Stamp. In view of the exaggeration which the newspapers give to the prices of rare postage stamps and the value of ' collections, it is interesting to note that an estimate has been made by the Lon don Philatelist of the extent and value of existing pobtage stamp collections, based in great part upon an actual cen sus taken for the purpose. The con clusion arrived at is that the 11. "J resi dent members of the London Philatelic society posesses collections of the total market value of 125,000. The collec tions of members out bf Great itritain Are put down at S100,0,0. This is about one-quarter of what the daily press ro mancers give us as the correct figures. Longevity of Scientific Men.

THE ESCAPE; The last palisade over! and limbs long stiffened felt lissome once more with the life of 25. Now for a slow and cautious creep along the gully by which water came into the township; later on he would bethink him .of that narrow escape at the third door way. Whist! a man's head in the road, and he bent down once more be hind the earthridge, and pushed his way upstream with difficulty, show ing as little of himself as possible. It was an officer coming into town late. probably been at some Indian hut in one of their villages near by, too near the fort to dare vengeance on Span ish gallentries. John Tisden had often heard the Spaniards talk of the Indian rirls white he worked in the fofVi plaza. Very silently; the moonlight was troublesome to one just escaping, but, praise the Lord who watches over bold Englishmen, the guard had not yet discovered their loss- and the water1 was bearably cold. Never re turn thanks too soon! The officer felt a romantic wish to look back on the spot where lately he had satisfied his heart's latest desire. He reined his horse on a rising slope, and, turn ing in his saddle, glanced back over the shadow-dappled lend so that his ey8, running up tHe shiny ribbon of stream, suddenly saw the black dot laboring away against its current. Instincts of destruction ran along the nerves of his hand; he drew a pistol and fired, sending a splash of water over John's hoad, while the echoes smote the fortress walls and lost themselves in the wdddland be hind. A low clamor rose out of San Jago; John rose out of the stream and ran into the cop-.es. The Span iard spurred after him with drawn sword, eager for the pleasure of slicing him when caught up. In a few moments he was alongside, but this being a shadoflred spot he stayed his hand overhead till the stroke should be sure. In that moment John doubled like a hare and rushed des perately at the soldier, who reined up all at once and brought down his blade vainly. For the cunning Englishman ducked under the horse's body, then popped out, seized his foe's leg and foot, and with a sudden fierce heave shot the soldier sideways out of his saddle and on to his head. There he lay broken-riecked, while the victor grasped the bridle, bent to earth and snatched the 6Word, mounted the animal and stuck the weapon's point into its haunch; off shot the horse with a snort of pain, while the clatter of pursuers arose behind, finally sinking away as the pine trees flew by. Then, as the moon entered a thick cloud bank, they came to an open prairie, and onward into darkness they went without more than the slightest of stumbles. Several miles; the horse began to breathe hard and sob, then settled into a slow trot. More miles. The trot became a walk, and the walk more difficult; more miles yet, very long ones, and the earth wont up and down as the darkness became gray there were low hills and shallow 'ravines, then came rocks and ledges and cliffs; the gray speedily thinned, the horse stopped at a cliff wall. To the right, to the left, John looked for an opening; there was none. He raised his hands, licked a finder of the cleanest, thought he felt a faint freshness on the left side of it, and so turned in that direction. After some hundred yards he came to a crack in the wall; he pushed into it. There was hardly room at first. but it widened into a chasm, and wound along in darkness with a band of light at the top then came a sud den descent, and the wearied creature he rode stumbled and threw him into a pool of water. The shock of the plunge brought him together again. He struggled beneath the water, came up at last, half choked, and pulled himself upon a rocky ledge with the sword still hanging from his wrist Looking for the horse, he saw nothing but a violent commotion on the water sur face, which presently ceased; a few air-bubbles came to the top and broke; that was all; his rescuer had ended its life in the depths from which he had escaped. Then he sat for a space and thought; he could not stay there, they would track him to the rock wall and cleft; was there another way to the other side? The cold, shut-in lake was quite still now, the cleft by which he had come in was dimly visible across the dark level; the cleft continued there like a narrow road upward. Then he knew that he had come to the hidden source of the stream that passed mysteriously underground, and came to daylight in the country where the Spaniards placed Fort San Jago. Ho went along the chasm, and after an hour or two stood on the platform; bare rock and nothing else; ho went on higher still, with hunger asserting itself, miles and more miles yet The sun came out and sent yellow rays across the pin nacles, casting purple shadows as queerly shaped as they. He climbed the highest of these rock-teeth and eaw a vast upward plain, with an orange-tinted rim; here and there gray twists, where a slight valley came, and a few lonely stones really great boulders of a primeval sea. He looked behind and only a faint gray tinge on that horizon indicated the grass country of San Jago. but he felt that even now they might be at the cleft in the rock wall, those Span iards who treated captives so hardly, so there was no course but forward. Forward then he went, and the sand became thick and soft underfoot so that he had to use the long, Span ish blade to help him in walking. At last even that became an encum brance, and he would have cast it away, only the knot had become twisted and would take a little time to undo, so he kept it out of indo lence and ebbing wits. Here and there came a harder surface' which was restful to the feet, and then he would sink for a space and try to hope he might get across this place; then he went on and on, with the glare in his eyes from below and a hot. gray sky overhead. The sun heated his wet rags; they became burning moist; they blis tered his back, sore already from the payment of yesterday's forced labor in the fortress; he had to turn round at times and give his back a relief bv beinff roasted in front. At last the whole place swam round hira, there came momeuts when he f teoid trtftdinf over a criraaon I waste under vermillion sky, and with the first pains of thirst deaden ing the abhe of hunger he lay down in the shadow of the first rock he reached. As he lay there witfi his battered old hat over his face the stillness came terribly on him at times. He thought he heard distant voices call ing, and fancied some foe had crept Up to the oilier side of the stoqe and was stealing round on him then it seemed as if he was lying on English sand and the sea was foaming round Plymouth breakwater hard by then he raised his hat for the fortieth -time to think for the fortieth time of this great thirst land, before his lightheadedness began once more, to gether with the burning ache for water in every flesh-atom. The shadow lengthened, the Band in it cooled, the relief was grateful, inouga smaii. Abater on tne sun went down, a red globe in a purple base; the stars appeared, and he fol lowed one for a long time till he got among rooks and bruised his body against them in the dark. It was 6f no use going on till moonrise; he lay there on the stony floor, and his thirst "kept him from feeling the hard ness of it for awhile; At last ho could bear it no longer, but rose and ran on, then presently struck against one of the stones and fell, stunned, as he had fallen before out in the sand tracks. Still the man was not beaten.. When he had recovered he wiped his heavy eyes with the back of his hands and felt his way along through that rooky maze, tapping his sword on each side and following the passages, holding on to his star with the bulldog in stinct of his race. At last the moon camo out and lit the plain, showing it mounting up and up in a long slow slope till the eye lost it in darkness, but covered so far with stones, stones, stones, like the graveyard of the whole human race. So he went on, rattling his tongue about in his arid mouth, wondering why he did not lie down and die at once, why he did not at once fall on his blade and end his portion of life, yet persevering all the time, no unworthy man of his coun tryside and yeoman name. He had no visions now, in the night; thoy were reserved for the treacherous day, when the guiding star should be hidden. So through tho iong hours he traveled, and at last shuffled out into places whero tho stones, that dread ful multitude all exactly alike, stood in groups only. Tho moou sped oa her course, and the ground under foot sent a ring from his steel staff it was rock. Then the stones ceased altogether, and a series of low ridges came; they taxed his shaky legs and arms to their full, low though they were, so that he lay down to rest on each its he got upon it Then he came to the long ridge, highest of all this hugo inclined land, and saw its edgo wind ing away to right, to left, for milo3 in the hard moonlight, and the rock floor sloping downward far below him, for miles and miles more. Looking behind, the sight of the fearful maze of wilderness ho had wonderfully come through filled him with terror, and he fled away from it, down and on, only to fall again like a child. Then for awhile his tor tured frame could carry him no more; there he lay. deliriously mumbling about streams and lakes and foun tains, till the 6un came and struck his bare head with its hot rays. Still he lay there, now awake and, strange to say, not mad, though very weak, sorely suffering, and hardly able to think at all. Indeed, he did not think, but mere ly followed up his instinct when he crawled upon his feet and staggered along, swaying one way for many paces, then the other) hanging his hands and head, moaning in a dry, broken way, like cut bellows, yet still going on. And then his dim eyes received a refreshing moment ary coolness a plant, growing green at his feet! Down ho sunk upon it, seized it. chewed the dusty leaves; there were little driblets of earth here and there. Another bit of green caught his eye; ho raised his heavy head and saw that 100 paces away the plateau on which he stood broke off shear. Ho had crossed the dosert, for down there, 3,000 feet bolow, were groen plains, palms, and a river, and beyond the blue Pacific. The poor, wasted creature raised his bony, cracked claws and gurgled with triumph. He had cheated the Spaniards and the Thirst Lands; hur rah! And there were more plants nearer the edge; to them he hastened, with the blade still dragging from his wrist, to fall prone on a little group of them, and on a huge puffing adder lying almost invisible along on the earth-grove. Instantly the beast drew back its head and struck him on the bare leg and then fled. A rage filled him; he seized the sword in both shaking hands, brought it down on the merked back, missed it, fell forward, and tho steel bent and broke under him as the enemy glided away. But after it he panted with the strength of revenge; caught it up as it twisted by a largo stone, pushed the stone over its neck by an effort, and, kneeling, cut its writhing body into long strips with the frag ment of his blade. Then he got back somehow to the green tufts, and while the poison worked its way to his heart, sweetened his last moments of life with those leaves, till a stupor came over him and he slept with his destroyer the sleep of death on the border of the Sweet Palm Coast, as the Indians called it in their tongue. Such was tho escape of John Tisden, whose bones have long become dust, the only man who ever crossed the Terra de Sed Black and White. A Contented Mind. A gentleman traveling in the country at Stoddard, N. H., whore it is all rooks and bowlders, saw a boy of 14 hoeing it a corn-field on the side of what would be( pasture land on anybody else's farm. The corn was "rather poor-looking. The traveler reined up his horse and spoke to the boy. He said to him: "Your corn looks rather small." "Well," said the boy, "we planted dwarf corn." "Well, it looks yellow, poor, and thin." Well, we planted yellow corn." "Well," said the traveler, "I don't mean that It don't look as if you would get more than half a crop." "I don't expect to. I planted it od shares. Argonaut. Steam-Baked Bricks. In parts of Central Asia bricks are baked in cylindrical ovens about three days and then burned in an atmos phere of steam, which is produced by closing the heated ovens with covers of wet felt. The bricks are turned by the steam from red to dark grey, acquire great hardness and become sonorous. They are said to resist weathering better than the fire-burnt bricks. HOW fcETA WAS SAVED. A Xegro Bey la as Eleptrsnt's Stomacb After Piece r Irea. Apropos to the death of Zipp, the big elephant at Bsraboo, Wis., from having swallowed a chain weighing ninety pounds, A reminder was called up and related by Dn Hume of Den ver, to the" St. Louis Republic man. "Just prior to the demise of the much lamented Phineas1 T. Barnutn I was touring in Connecticut, and called upon the great showman at Bridgeport, who invited me to see the circus animals in winter quarters. On arriving at the great caravansary where the wonders that tour the country year after year are stored, the illustrious owner was informed that Beta, the prize trick elephant, was ailing. All the symptoms of the poor beast pointed to the fact that she was suffering from acute gastral gia, and many means had been tried to relieve her without avail. "It was finally discovered that Beta had by some means wrenched off an iron bar from her stall and as it could noc be found it was surmised that she had swallowed it, and which accounted for the gastric irritation of the valuable pachyderm. "Mr. Barnum eaw that poor Beta must soon succumb to the inflamma tion caused by such a large foreign body and with ready wit resolved on an unique plan to remove it. At tached to his large winter hotel was a small colored boy who went by the name of Nigger Joe. Ho was but little larger than a full-grown 'pos sum, and P. T. sent for him and ex plained that he must take a rubber tube in his mouth to breathe through, and with a rope 'round his waist must go down into tho elephant's stomach and get out that bar of iron. "Joe rolled his eyes and demurred, but he knew his employer too well to refuse. Accordingly Joe was an nointed with a potind of vaseline and Beta being safely gagged he was gently pushed down the giant acsophagus head first; a smooth stick well oiled landed him at the bottom. According to instructions the boy soon gave three tugs at the rope, as he had been instructed, to be pulled out again, and sure enough, tightly clasped in Joe's hands was tho offending and indigestible iron bar. It is needless to 6ay that Beta's life was saved and that Nigger Joe was handsomelj rewarded for his cure of the valuable elephant's indi gestion. KHORASSAN CARPETS. Something- of the Extent of This Orl- ental Work. Consul-General Elias of Meshed, in a roport recently issued, says that carpets are made all over Khorassan, but the localities whero thoy are specially produced are tho cities of Meshed, Birdshan and Turshiz. All Khorassan carpets are piled carpets, or kali, a word that is not applicable to any other kind of floor covoring. The different kinds are known some times by the different patterns and colors of which they are composed, but usually only by the names of the places where they are produced, such as Kaini, Meshedi, Baluchi, and Tur shizi. The carpets of certain local ities have always some distinction or superiority over those of other places, says the Pall Mall Gazette, and the carpet industry is in a more flourish ing condition in some localities than in others. Though carpets ore woven all over Khorassan not only in tho towns and villages but also in the tents of the nomad tribes--a largo proportion are made for tho use of tho people Luuuisuivt-s mm nut lor iraue. at present carpets of fine quality are manufactured for trade iu tho two districts of Kain and Turhiz, but good carpets are also made in Meshed. All the different classes of carpets are made in varying sizes. Large ones measure up to forty by sixteen and two-thirds feet, and small ones from five by two and one -half feet up to six and two-thirds by three and one-third feet. A good quality of carpets, measuring ten by three and one-third feet and even smaller, are woven by tho nomads, and especially by tho Beluchis. All indigenous dyes used in the manufacture of car pots are obtained from vegetables. Aniline dyes imported from Europe were used formerly in Meshed, but were discontinued when it was found that the carpets containing them did not sell well. Carpets of inferior quality, made atBirgand. contain an iline, but those of better quality, which are made to order, do not SHS SAW THE TMPEROR, Ilia Victory Over Franca Had Coat Hor Two Son. At the Women's club in Washing ton the following touching story was recently told: "I was in Berlin .in 1871 when tho Emp'eror William re turned from Paris, the war over and Gormany victorious. I sat in a barouche opposite tho entrance of tho palace. Around was all Berlin all German', as it seemed to me. Yoii could have walked on the heads of people, but you could not have moved in such a crowd. The emperor came and stood silently before them, and thoy were silent at first; then the shout that went up was almost awful in its intensity, and tho emperor, with a military salute and a few words of thanks, went in. But that did not satisfy them; they cried out again and pressed up closer. A peas ant woman who had been standing near my carriage said: 'Oh, let me come in let me get nearer! I must see him! I have lost two sons in this war!" "I opened the door and she climbed in and stood up. I passed my arm around her to 6teady her and then we turned to the balcony of the first floor. In a moment the emperor ap peared and stood, the center of all eyes and hearts. The peasant woman folded her hands and said: 'Pray for him pray for him and all those in his position! They have so much' there she paused, but I knew she meant blood; she was thinking of her boys so much on their hands!' The emperor again thanked tho peo ple for their welcome and asked them to disperse then, and they did. Al most before I could recover myself to look around, they were all gone, and the great place in front of the palace had only a few other carriages, liko my own, waiting to drive off." i What He'd Had. "Boys," ho frantically cried, as Le ' rushed frantically among them. "I ' tell you I had a close shave just now!" , "Where at!" they gasped. j "At my barber's," was the response; a dozen heads bowed and wept. Sun ny South. Bnilt the First Cable Rillroad.

Why is there no Anti-Wedding Pres ent League? asks London Truth. Surely the time has long since arrived for such an organization to be started. Wedding presents arc a far more serious and last ing nuisance than, let us say, crinolines are ever likely to be. The nuisance has been aggravated of late by the perni cious practice of publishing in the news papers lists of wedding presents re ceived, and I have been driven to air this question by a list of some two or 'three hundred flames of donors of wed ding presents published the other day in counecticn with a "fashionable" tra ding in the North. This is, in fact, a highly ingenious method of stimulating tho generosity of friends of the happy pair. The snobs arc induced to giveinqre'lavishly by the knowledge that their names and their gifts will be proclaimed to all the world in the newspapers. People who might otherwise, cither through common sense or common stingincts, refrain from giv ing, arc intimidated by the fear that their names will be conspicuously ab sent from the published list. It has become the practice to advertise in con nection with deaths, "no flowers." How popular will that bride arM bridegroom be among their acquaintances who first dare, in announcing their wedding, to advertise, "no presents." - Jack the Incorrigible. Jack is the name of a monkey that a New Yorker owned for five years and has recently given to the menagerie in Central pork. Jack used to have ex cellent manners, and, as monkeys go, was a gentleman. He had a good home and had never staid out alter dark. The complaint against him was that he flooded the lower floors of the house and ruined several hundred dollars' worth of furniture. His master left him one day in charge of the apartments, and Jack took a bath. He forgot to turn off the water and the tub ran over. Moreover, he scalded himself, and did not look even respectable afterward. The master returned in time to catch him in the act of wiping himself with a crash towel. Being remonstrated with, he appeared penitent, but in less than an hour was in front of a mirror, razor in hand, trying to shave oft: his mus tache. Jaek simply had to go. There was no living with him after that. New York Tribune. Love is best known by what it suffers. Why not, indeed? When the Royal Baking Powder makes finer and more wholesome food at a less cost, which every housekeeper familiar with it will affirm, why not discard altogether the old fashioned methods of soda and sour milk, or home-made mixture of cream of tartar and soda, or the cheaper and inferior baking pow ders, and use it exclusively?
