A Georgia . Melon Wrapped With Kll- .bona tor the President. , The president has received as a pres - ent an immense watermelon. It was .grown in Georgia, and' measured two and a half, feet long and six feet in cir cumference. When presented it was packed in a golden hamper, wrapped in an American flag and entwined with white silk ribbon. The- flummery sur rounding that melon shows that there are yet those who would paint the lily and add fresh perfume to the violet; some who believe that the external adornment might add to the beauty of a watermelon. A melon unadorned is e'en adorned the most. Its external shell is but Nature's emerald . that en closes the pink coral and the rubied Ins clousnees within. It was Nature's mas terpiece, the boys' present delight, the old folks reminder of moonlight nights in some other fellow's patch. It is the -eleven temptations of a "Nigger," chick en making the 12th. It is Nature's bar room with all the drinks combined into -one divine mixture, and s all together lovely. Silk flags and ribbons have no ' place about it, its only adjunct being a butcherknife, at whose touch its rotund abdomen pops open like a locust's shell, and with a noise like an expanding side- . walk orua qold night. That's what a melon needs, and that's all it needs. ' s Another Pigeon Caught. : London, July 22. A special dispatch from Copenhagen says a carrier pigeon baa been caught in the vicinity of Trom Boa, near North Point, Norway, with the following stamped upon its wings: "North Pole passed the 15th."

If vou have a loathing for food there is no use of forcing it down, .lor it will not be digested ; Yon must restore the digestive organs to their natural strength and cause the food to be digested, when an appetite will come, and with it a re lish for food. : The tired, languid feeling will give place to vigor and energy ; then you will put flesh on your bones and become strong. . The Shaker Digestive1 Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers contains food already digested and is a digester of foods as well. Its action ' prompt and its effects permanent. 1 Doctors prescribe Laxol because it has all the virtues of Castor Oil and is palatable. . v The True Remedy. W. M.

Ex perimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr, King's .New Discovery, Ho other rem edy can take its place in our home, - as in it we have certain and sure cure for Cooghs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other rem edies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discov ery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures an.d besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at Blakeley & Hough ton's Drog Store. , (4)..

Jeweler Won- .' uerfal I.lttlo Boat. - L: T Dr. Heylin,. in his "Life of King Charles,"' records that during- the reign of .Queen Elizabeth "there -was one who wrote the ter commandments, the creed, the Pater Noster, the queen's name ard the prayer -of our Lord -within the compass of a penny, and gave her ma jesty a peirof spectacles of such an artificial making that by the help thereof she did plainly and distinctly discern every letter," nays the London Bookworm. A somewhat (similar feat was that "rare piece of work brought to pass by Peter Bales, an Englishman, who also exhibited before her .majesty, the entire JtJible written in a book con taining a s man v lea ves as a full-sized edition, but fitting into a walnut. In St. John's coilog-e, Oxford, is pre served a portrait of Charles I., in which the cngTaver's. lines, as they seem', to be, are really microscopic writing", the face alone containing" all the book of Psalms, with the creeds and several forms of prayers. " .' The learned Porron is known to have Indulged in this species of "curious idleness'' occasionally, and perhaps the Greek verses. from the Medea-of Euri pides, with Johnson's translation of, the same, for Burney's . "History of Music," were executed by him; Though consisting of two hundred and twenty six words, they are comprised in a cir cle half an inch in diameter, with a small space in the center left blank. . About forty years ajo a specimen of microscopic penmanship" was exhibited In America. It consisted of the follow ing inscription written, upon glass in a circle much smaller than the head of an ordinary pin. (one six hundred and twenty-fifth part of an inch in - dir amcter): 'Lowell, and Scuter, watch makers, C4 Exchange street, Portland. Written by Fcrmat at Paris, 1833." At the Dusseldorf exhibition a few years ago a gentleman showed a postal card upon which the whole of the first three books of the ; Odyssey were written, the remaining -space being filled with the transcript of a long de bate which had taken place in the German parliament a short time be fore. The whole card contained thirty three thousand words. - Layard, in his "History of Nineveh," mentions that the national records of th5 Assyrian empire were written on bricks in characters so minute as to be scarcely legible without the- aid of a microscrope, and ' that, in . fact, a variety of this instrument was found among the excavations. '- ' - . So much for daintv penmanshiD. That minute mechanical construction can lay claim to considerable antiquity is evidenced by the works of Pliny and Adrian, who relato tliat Myrmicides constructed out of ivory a ship with all her appurtenances and a chariot with- four wheels and four horses, both so small that a bec could hide either of them with its wings. - . j. " A still more wonderful work is that of Mark Scaliot, a London locksmith, who," in 1570, 'manufactured a lock con sisting of eleven dilTereiit pieces of steel, iron and brass, which, together with the key belonging to it, weighed only one grain. ; Thc amo crtiut con structed a chain of gold containing forty-three links, which he fastened to the lock and key, and upon these being attached to the neck of a ilea the insect was able to draw them with ease. ' . nauianus Junius saw at, -Uecnim. in Brabant, a cherry stona carved in the form of a basket, in which 'were four teen pairs of dice, tho spots on the lat ter visible to the naked eye: A cherry stone carved by " the scnlptor, Rossi, and containing a glory of tixty saints, was shown at Florence for many j-ears; A still more marvelous curiosity was a set of one thousand- six' hundred ivory dishes, which were said to have been purchased by one Shad from the malicr, Oswald 2."or'-hiugomu, ocd ex hibited before Pope VI. These dainty turnings, though perfect in every re spect, . were soaruely . vi:.-ib!c to the ".aked eye, and could be easily inclosed n a casket tho size of a peppercorn. A Jesuit, Father 1'arrarius. made twenty-five wooden cannon capable of being packed awaj in the same opaoa. In 17(54, on the birthday of King George III., a watchmaker of London named Arnold presented himself be fore the king to exhibit a carious re peating watch of his manufacture. This watch was in diameter somewhat less than a silver two-pence, contained ohe hundred and twenty distinct parts and weighed altogether less than six pennyweights. '. : . ,-, v Not very long ago a London news paper announced that a jeweler of Turin had made a tugboat formed of a single pearl. The sail of beaten gold studded with diamonds and the bin nacle light at the prow is . a perfect ruby.' An emferald serves as its rudder and the stand on . which it is mounted is a slab of whitest ivory. r The entire weight of this marvelous specimen of the jeweler's craft is less than half an ounce, but the maker values it- at one thousand pounds. - f Free Pills- Send your address to H.
