An Incendiary with a mania for burn ing saw-mills has broken loose In the neighborhood of Farmerslmrg. south of Terre Haute. Within the past month four mills' have been burned, entailing a total loss.

A queer custom was observed for the two hundred aud fiftieth time at Lelgb- ton Buzzard, England, this year In ac cordance with the will of a London merchant, who founded ten almshouses In the town.

A Small Fortune for Medicine Mrs. Leek Spends $4,000 In the Effort to Regain Health. precious life is given up, the pnblTc is assured that death would have resulted in spite of the operation, and who ia ever the wiser ? The folly of resorting to the knife in cases of cancer, is demonstrated everr time it is undertaken. The disease is ia the blood and the caacer or sore is but the outward manifestation of a terrible condition of the entire circula tion. To cut out this sore, therefore, does not in anyway effect the disease, and it can easily be seen that the only correct treatment is to get at the seat of the disease, and purify the blood; the sore will then heal up naturally. S.S.S. is themost powerful blood remedymade, and is the only cars for cancer. HJL WUXXAX WALPOLS.' To submit to an operation, is to volun tarily endanger one's life, without tha . slightest hope of being benefitted. Mr. William Walpole, is a wealthy planter residing at Walshtown, South Dakota, and is well known all over the state. '-Under date of January 20th, 1896, he writes; "About three years ago, there , came under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly, and for the past year, shooting pains ran in every direction.

In a time of sudden thaws and wide extremes of tempera ture, the authorities at West Point Issued a dally order defining the limits on the river within which the cadets were allowed to skate. So says tbe Illustrated American, which goes on to relate an adventure of a second-clam man, who found himself one afternoon far outside the limits. ' He first became aware of bis trans gression when he saw an officer on skates bearing down upon him. Anx ious to conceal his Identity, and to savo himself punishment and demerits, be turned and skated for the shore. A glance over his shoulder shcwe-l the officer striking out after him in real earnest Never did cadet skate faster, bnt the officer drew steadily nearer. Happily, as the cadet thought, an out stretching point of land was jrst ahead. Straight np on the rocky shore dashed the cadet behind tbe little lighthouse, and ran up through the woods, with his skates still on his feet Breathless, be reached cadet limits, and a quick glance around told him that he bad eluded his pursuer. Then he took off bis skates and has tened to the barracks, to be ready for the roll-call that would most likely be ordered for the purpose of detecting the guilty skater. No such roll-call was ordered, however, and at parade that night an order was read extending the skating limits, and during tbe even ing the pursuing officer called at the cadet's door to say: "Yon are a very good skater, Mr. A. If I could have overtaken you, I would have told yon that tbe limits were ex tended, and that you might skate even farther than you did.

How "The Bell" Waa Written. John Sartaln, well known as tbe first great American engraver, and, more over, as a man of letters, tbe half -owner and managing editor, In tbe forties, of Bartain's Magazine, the friend of all the great literary men of his time, still lives quietly in Philadelphia. Mr. Sar taln was a firm friend of Poe. In bis wild moods, frequently, it was Mr. Sartaln only who could control tbe put burst Mr. Sartaln used to buy Poe's hasty lines and thus furnish tbe poet with a dinner sometimes sadly need ed. It was in this way that he bought "The Bells." One day Poe, very ragged, rnshed into the office of the magazine, with a bit of verse that be wished to sell. Out of compassion for bis ap parent suffering, the editor bought the poem. After tbe writer had rushed ont be read It without much admira tion; and filed it away. This Is th poem: . Th bells, hear the bells, The merry wedding bells, The little silver bells, How fairy-like a monody there swells From the silver-tinkling cells of th bells. The belli, ah, b belll The heavy Iron bells, Hear the tolling of tbe bells; Hear the knells; How horrible a monody there floats From their throats! From their deep-toned throats; How I ahndder at the notes From the melancholy throats Of the belli, of the bells I Presently Poe, very wroth,' asked why the poem had not been published.

I used them for abont fire month. They were recommended to me by a druggist on the corner of Oak and Gongh streets, tbe Eagle drug store is the name, I think I waa run down, very nervous, and suffered from indi gestion. The doctor said my blood waa thin and that I needed change of air and all that kind of thing. Well, I couldn't do that, and this frienj of mine just told me kind of off hsnd to try the Pink Pills. 1 have tried pills before that were supposed to oure ev erything and I did not have mooh con fidence, but when a man is sick be don't care what he tries if there is a onanoe to get well.

Their Use Not Xet Increased by tbe I Prcaent Trouble lo Cube. i There Is a growing ltlea among smolt- j ers that, owing to the trobulea In Cubs, there will be a scarcity of Cuban leaf ' tobacco, which will soou affect both the ' quality and quantity of domestic clear Havana cigars, and a rumor Is preval ent that already many of tbe so-called clear Havana are covered with Mexl- : can tobacco, and that It cannot be do-' teoted by experts. The best-Informed : persons In the trade deny this minor, ! and state that most of the large Ameri- j can firms have enough Cuban tobacco to last them for a year or more, and j that there Is little or no tobacco In Mexico suitable for the fastltdlous ! smoker. They say, also, that Mexican tobacco Is detected easily at sight, mid while It may be possible in future year to produce totmcco for wrappers which : will compete with the Cuban article. It ' will be a long time comlug, as up to ; date no effort has been made by the Mexican growers to cater to this mar-1 ket The Mexican leaf la thicker and j duller In appearance, without the rich j gloss of the Cuban variety so attrao i tlve to American smokers. What Is still more to the point, It rapidly de teriorates In appearance after being j worked up Into cigars. 8(111 another reason Is that all the available Mexl- j can wrappers worth anything are ! called for by the Mexican trade, one firm of which Is said to be under con tract with Englishmen for bOO.OUO cigars every two weeks. . The government statistics also give an Important hint In this matter. Tha total export of filler tobacco from Mexico for 1S03 was only 48,451 pounds, of a value of 111,450; In 1804, 57,840 pounds, valued at $18,507, while tbe total amount of wrapper tobacco for 1HH5 was but thirteen pounds, valued at $7. This country Imported from Cuba In 1893 21,004,61)1 pounds, valued at $8,940,058; In 181)1, some 14,578,000 pounds, valued at $5.838,0tS4, and In 1805 some 20,147,000 pounds, valued at $7,233,474. The total amount of Im ported wrapper tobacco .from Cuba paying duty Into the United States treasury during 1805 was 28,130 pounds, valued at $38,320. These are the facts In tbe matter, and as soon as Mexican tobacco begins to come In for use on domestic-made clear Havana cigars Its arrival will be shown In the weekly tables of Imports published In trade and shipping organs. What Is very likely is that the consumer of Ha v. ana cigars will soon have to face a darker tobacco on bis cigars than bd has been wishing for lately.
