This ia one of tbe smallest fighting knives used by any people of tbe earth and one of tbe taost deadly. : In length the knife is longer than a gimlet, so that it can readily be concealed inside the waist band of the trousers. Tbe handle is not set on parallel with the blade as in an ordinary knife, but at right angles like that of a gimlet; hence the name. The handle is grasped with the blade between the second and third fingers, the upper part of the blade being drawn down to a hank so as to prevent catting the fingers when tbe knife is so held. The blade when in position repre sents merely an extension of the axis of the arm and is not held at right angles with the arm, as the villain in the play holds his knife The blade is made of the beat razor steel, is double edged for the lower two-thirds of its length and is as keen as a razor. It is not dagger pointed, bat has the stronger forma tion of a rounding point. The blade is short, but long enough to inflict a fatal wound, and so strong and keen that it will divide a rib under a pow erful blow or cut through any gar ment like so much paper. The pecul iar position of the handle leaves nothing for an adversary to grasp at except the blade, so that it is almost impossible for the wielder of the knife to be disarmed, the more so as the handle curves in at the end, giv ing the fingers a better hold upon it. A good gimlet knife costs ?S or more. Louisiana Cor.. Chicago Tunes. A good turn will always turn up so that you will never get the worst of it, said Frank Painter of Como. Colo.

J ere Jackson came out to Colorado in the early days without a cent to save his life. He knocked around for a year and a half and lived from hand to mouth. We all liked him, and we knew itwaant his fault that things didn't turn his way, and none of the boys would refuse him shelter when things came par ticularly hard. Well, one day J ere struck out. He was disgusted with the world in general and with Mr. Jackson in particular. . "While plodding along in a lonely part of the country a couple of days after that be came upon tbe dead body of a miner lying in the road. 'Poor devil, thought Jere, I suppose that's how IU fetch up.' ; He started in to give the dead stranger the at tention that he'd like himself and was soon digging a grave for a man he bad never seen before. He didn't dig far though hardly two feet. He bad run across gold good, solid gold. He buried his unknown friend in an other bole and quit the first one a rich man. ' A good turn even to a stranger will never give you the worst of it." Pittsburg Post. There are few disorders more teas ing to tbe sufferer and to those about him than a cough. A slight hacking cough is often a bad habit- When it is at all under control of the will, it should lie sternly repressed. Some times tbe uvula, the pendulous part of the soft palate at tbe back of the month, becomee relaxed, tbe point touches the tongue, producing a tic kling sensation which requires a cough to relieve it. A little dry tan nic acid put in a quill and blown on the uvula will contract it, or half a teaspoonful of the powder mixed with two teaspoonfuls of glycerin stirred into half a glass of warm wa ter and need as a gargle. When a cold has been taken and there is cough with soreness of the chest, bed should be prescribed for fear of a severe attack of bronchitis. Soak tbe feet in a pail of hot water in which ia dissolved three table spoonfuls of mustard and rub the chest with warm camphorated oil. Ladies' Home Journal. The BlriMS of t'Blababltcd Klcaracua.
