Pdkdin, Postmaster. My little boy, when two years of age was taken very ill with bloody flux. I was advised to use Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and luckily procured part of a bottle. I carefully read the directions and gave it accordingly. He was very low, but slowly and surely he began to improve, gradually recovered, and is now as stout and strong as ever. I feel sure it saved his life. I never can praise the remedy half its worth. I am sorry every one in the world does not know how good it is, as I do. Mrs. Lina S. Hinton, Grahamiville, Marlon Co.,Fla. For sale by Geo. H. Haskins. TOASTED TO A TURN. Sister Caroline) Gt Even with the Man Who Bad Dcaptaed Her Love. There was a scene and a sensation at the Calvary Baptist church (colored) on a recent Sunday. A "covenant" or experience meeting was in progress, and Sister Caroline, of some 50 sum mers, had. the floor.- She began in the usual orthodox form of telling her ex istence, but shifted to a recital of bcr personal grievance against Brother Jackson, whose arrival with his bride upon, his arm had turned the course of her remarks. The way she rousted him was highly -entertaining, if not edify ing. Rev. Mr, Parish attempted to call her down, but she insisted upon having her say out. Unable to control her, he sought to overcome her harangue with u song, and so gave out a hymn. For awhile the sister's voice could be heard above the united tones of the congrega tion. She continued to talk against the overwhelming odds until her voice gave way under the strain and she fell ex hausted in the seat. Here is the way she began her ex perience recital: "I praise de Lawd dat he has 'lowed me to lib to see dis day. De great Al mighty is er merciful God. He is a just Lawd, an' will not stand round an' see eny ob his poor creeters suffer wrong. De Lawd haa been berry he'pful to me. He has fed me when I wuz hungry, an I have been naked an' he clothed me. He hab put money in my purse." Just then Brother Jackson appeared with his bride and the sister changed the key of her discourse. "Oh, Lawd. I thank thee that thou has been so good to me. I thank thee, oh, Lawd, that thou host 'nabled me to feed Brother Jackson, who done got married to another in violation of his promise to marry me. I thank thee that thou bast 'nabled me to give him six shirts and has helped me to raise de eight dollars for htm to Duy a pair of new shoes. Oh, Lawd. I thank thee that he hab libed 2u my house a whole year without pay in' board. I thank thee, oh, Lawd, that I raised, by thy help, the money to send Brother Jack son ter Chicago. And now, oh, Lawd, he hab come back an' school have be gun, he haa not kept his promise to marry me. But, oh, Lawd, how grate ful I am dat I can any dis bright day in de language of de pharisce, that 'I am not as other men am. No, Lawd, your own Caroline am still libing in hopes ob an eternal solvation, an if it is pos sible, Lawd. I pray thee to save Brot her Jackson, for berrily, 1 say unto him. 'ye know not what ye do. " Naturally the congregation was con--ulsed, and Rev. Mr. Parish, after in effectual efforts to quiet his sister, thus addressed the congregation: "Brethren, we cannot permit our mis guided sister to go on. Sing the long meter doxology and keep singing it un til she takes her Beat." Louisville Times. Angling by Elertrte Light. . One evening recently two aaglers, one a resident of New Haven, tried the in teresting experiment of fishing in Sea ford bay by electric light. A fisherman of Xew Haven rowed the anglers, from the railway pier soon after six o'clock, when it was completely dark. A port able battery with a five-candle-power iacandescent lamp was token, and this lump was lowered nntil a weight below it' touched the bottom at 25 feet. Both battery and lamp were specially mode for the trial, and the lamp was protect ed by a galvanized crinoline and was made watertight. When it reached the bottom of the sea, there wns, it is stated, a circular area, 20 yards in diam eter, brightly illuminated right up to the surface. Fishing was carried on with an ordinary line on the port side, the lamp having been lowered on the starboard side of the boat. Scientific American. Dtrveu A physician in a southern city, who rejoices in the good old name of Elijah, tells an amusing story " of himself, which, as he is a truthful man, is cred ited and enjoyed by his friends. ' He is a member of the Baptist church, but one Sunday morning he went to the Presbyterian church for the purpose of hearing an old friend of his boyhood, who was passing a few weeks in the city, and had been asked to preach. The physician was a little late, as physicians have a right to be. and, on entering the church just as the text was announced, he was somewhat startled by the apparently personal and direct question, addressed to him from the pulpit: "What doest thou here, Elijah?" The sermon which fol lowed reassured him, but in telling the story he always says that for a moment he felt as if all the blood in his body were in his face. Particular as to Their Partla. The leading newspaper in Vienna prints at length the amnzing last will and testament of a wealthy old eccen tric who died lately at Hadersdorf-am-Kanip. "I bequeath the whole of my property, movable and immovable," says he, "to my six nephews and six nieces, but under the sole condition that every one of my nephews marries a woman named Antonie, and t-sat every one of my nieces marries a man named Anton." The twelve ore further re quired to give the Christian name An-' tonie or Anton to each first-born child, according as it turns out to be girl or boy. The marriage of each nephew and niece is also to be celebrated on one of the St. Anthony's days, either January 17, May 10 or June 13. Each is further repuired to be married before the end of July, 1896. Any nephew or niece re maining unmarried to an Antonie or an Anton after that date forfeits half of his or her share of the property. Chicago Times-Herald. A Spldor with s Voice. India, according to 8. E. Peal, has a stridulating spider whose sound, like the pouring of shot upon a plate, can be heard ten to twelve yards; ants that produce sounds by rasping the horny tip of the last abdominal seg ment against dry leaves or twigs, and a butterfly which produces a series of raps with its wings. Safer Than Lightning Rods. Each day adds some new virtues to the long list of those already credited to the pneumatic. The latest of these is that the wheels of a bicycle being encircled by a band of India rubber and dry air which is a perfect insu lator the rider is completely insulated from the earth, and, consequently, is impervious to the attacks of the elec tric fluid. ' Thus, day by day it becomes more and more a fact that life without a pneumatic tire is neither safe nor worth having. As the chances of a man on a bicycle being struck by light ning have been carefully calculated to be about one in a billion, says the Wheel, there will, of course, be some pessimists who will deny that this newly discovered virtue of the pneu matic as a lightning insulator amounts to very much. Absent-MlndedneM. The best instance I know is that of an amiable Irish judge, now no longer on the bench. Among other amusing tales told by him, it is said that on the occasion of a "bar dinner" he went up stairs to dress, but did not reappear. The company sat patiently, for some time, till at length, just as their hunger was getting the better of their man ners, and an emissary was being dis patched to hunt up the missing judge, his lordship Appeared, and explained with many apologies that, imagining he was retiring for the night, he had undrexsed and got into bed. After an hour snoozing it suddenly struck him that he had not yet dined, on which he hurried down to his guests. London Spectator. Paoatratloa or Ballet Id Snow. Some curious tests have been made lately of the penetration of projectiles in snow. According to the report in Cosmos (Paris) the Lebel rifle was the weapon used, and some snow heaps, from one to two vards thick, were placed On the firing range, situated near Aurillac and fired at from a dis tance of fifty yards. It was found that the bullet hod stopped at a -depth of about five feet. It is believed that the great velocity of the projectile and its rotation (2,500 turns) attracts to it par ticles of frost and minute icicles, which end by forming a ball and practically annihilates its penetration. .

The order has gone forth that the manners and customs of the Russian court are to be remodeled on the Eng lish system.' The said manners and customs have always had more of bar baric splendor than of western refine ment about them, but, although life under the new regime will be much more respectable, it will not be half so amusing, and it will be interesting to see how St. Petersburg society will take to the change. As an example of frigid dullness English court life would be bard to beat. ...
