Where Upward of 10,000 Hen Are Oesu tantljr Employed. Some tinio ago the Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette published a most thrilling and remarkabla experience of tho wife of Mr. Frederick i'uyno, him self connected with the Portsmouth Dockyard for many years. Tho report produced a great sensation, not only in Portsmouth, but throughout the coun try, being considered of sufficient im portance for reproduction and editorial comment by tho leading metropolitan and Provincial Press of England, as showing the marvelous powers which St. Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for Rheumatism, its application having effected a perfect euro in the case of Mrs. Payne, after having been a help loss cripplo and given up by bo vera 1 physicians. Wo have now further evidence of Its intrinsic value as a Pain Conqueror. Our readers will do well to follow the intelligent and highly interesting de tails as given in Mrs. Rabbuts' own words: To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oil : Gentlemen My husband, who is a shipwright in His Majesty's Dockyard, met with an accident to his anklu and leg, spraining both eo badly that his leg turned bluck from his knee to bin toes. Tho Dr. said it would be months before ho could put his foot to the ground, and it was doubtful whether ho would ever get proper use of his leg again. A few days after tho accident I had a book left at the door telling about St. Jacobs Oil, I procured a bottle from oui chemist, Mr. Arthur Creswell, 379 Commercial Itoad. I began to use St. Jacobs Oil, and you may guess my sur prise, when in about another week from that date, my husband could not only stand, but could even walk about, and in three weeks from the time I first need the Oil my husband was back at work, and everybody talking about his wonderful recovery. This is not all. Seeing what St. Jacobs Oil could do gave mo faith in your Vogeler's Cur ative Compound, also favorably men tioned in the book left at my house. I determined to try the compound on my little girl, who was suffering from a dreadful t-kin disease, the treatment of which has cost me large sums of money in going from one doctor to another 'with her, all to no purpose. She has taken two bottles of Vogeler's Curative Compound, and one would now hardly take her for the same child, faer skin has got such a nice, healthy color after the sallow look she has always had. I shall never cease tobethankfful for the immense benefit we have derived from these two great remdies of yours. I think it a duty to recommend these medicines now I have proved their value.

MISSISSIPPI DRIFTWOOD. A. Boon to Maqy l'oor People Who Live Along- the Banks. A slight rise lu the Mississippi up In Kentucky, said an old river man, Is a blessing to many of the poorer clus.se of this city. A tliree-luch rise up above brings down a vast quautlty of drift wood, and at tho floating docks of tho ferry landings great rafts axe formed. You can see the boya every evening armed with long poles, with a spike In one end and a coll of rope at the other end, spearing the good pieces of timber just as a whaler harpoons n whale. They grow particularly expert, and I noticed one boy a day or two ago who could hit a log In the center the first throw and bring It to bank. This meant a supply of fuel. Many of the parents of these little ones cannot buy the fuel necessary to keep them warm, nud tho river furnishes It sometimes nnd some times It docs not Much of the timber has been freshly cut and left by the cutters over night, when the river comes along and lands it here. I saw two flue ash logs yes- terday. enough to keep n family going for a week, and the water had scarcely soaked through the bark. Of planks there Is a great plenty, und ulso some barrels and all kinds of things. The river Is no respecter of timber or per sons for that matter, nnd brings down the farmer's barrel half filled with pork Just as readily as n water-logged and useless trunk of a cypress tree. It has often been a source of wonderment to me how many people do actually live from the products of the river. I have never seen the figures ns to what proportion of the population of the val ley subsist on fish nnd got their wood from the overflows. 1 have been from St. Paul to NOw Orleans several times, and at all of the river towns you will find the boys ready for the overflow season. This, however, applies more particularly to the section of tho river below Ht. Louis. Hut ull along thero la the fishing Industry, less of It here than elsewhere, because of the prox imity of salt wuter, but above here It Is a flourishing business. Seeing the boys spearing logs re minds me of tho case of n man who agreed to pay the negro CO cents a day If he would collect driftwood for hint. The negro worked fnlthfully, and the man. was selling the timber at a big profit, of course. Finally, at the end of two years, after tho white man had grown too proud and too well oil to work, the negro found ho had Just tho same right to the timber the white man had, and he was the maddest crea ture In the boundaries of the United States. n Is not over It yet. In fact, be was so disgusted ho will not catch wood even for himself. Now Orleans Tlnies-Demtfcrat, The horse hns no eyebrows. There are 4,000 muscles lu tho body of a moth.

In fact, he rather prides himself upon his laziness. "Really." he said one day. "It Is too much trouble to live. Naturally the assertion surprised n large number of people. They admitted that It was occasionally dillleiilt for a man to live the way he would like to live, but there were few Indeed who objected to the trouble of living at all. Still, the aim Is to please. "Why don't you die?" they asked . "Too muoh trouble," replied the lazy mnn. "Why, you can lie down most nny where nnd die," they said. "That's where you're wrong." return ed the lnzy mnn. "If I lie down here In the street the chances are that some body will catch me by the collar nud ynnk me to my feet, and then a police man will come along nnd run tue lu.

"At nny rnte." they asserted, "you can throw yourself from the top of some building." "Too much trouble to climb up to It," ho nnswered. "No gentlemen, there Is no hope for me.

WHEELED HIMSELF IN BARROW. r i It was after a bitter argument over the Senatorial contest recently waged lu New Jersey. "I'll fell you what I'll do If that Dryden Is elected," said William Campbell, of Cnmdeu, to tho mnn with whom ho hud been having tho argument. "I won't wheel you around In n wheelbarrow, but I will wheel myself." There was u general laugh at Campbell's expense, but he promised to uiitUo good, despite their derision. The day after Dryden was nominated Campbell's friend had to leave town on a business trip. When hu returned Campbell met him at tho station. "Well, I've paid my bet," Campbell told him, nud handed him a piiotograpli to piove tho truth of his statement.
