ON TRIAL.
That's a good way to buy a medi
ine, bat it's a pretty hard condition
ander which to sell it. Perhaps
you've noticed that the ordinary
tut or miss medicine doesn't at
tempt it.
The only medicine of its kind bo
remarkable in its effects that it can
be sold on this plan is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. As a
blood-cleanser strength-restorer, and
flesh-builder, there's nothing like it
known to medical science. In every
disease where the fault' is in the
liver or the blood, as Dyspepsia, In
digestion, Biliousness, and the most
stubborn bkin, bcalp, and Scrofulous
affections, it is guaranteed in every
case to benefit or cure, or you have
your money back.
To every' sufferer from Catarrh,
no matter how bad the case or of
how long standing, the proprietors
of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy say
this : " If we can't cure it, perfectly
and permanently, we'll pay you $500
in cash." Sold by all druggists.
U' TOYS OF PRINCES SOLD, f.-
)Chmy Bring High Prices mt Auction, Es
pecially Napoleon's Wooden Horse.
Did toys so very seldom survive the
tfough Work their youthful possessors
ive them that if any do . weather the
storm they become extremely valuable.
A. collection of old playthings, many of
which belonged to royal children, wa
ately sold at the Hotel Drottot.
Some of them brought high prices.
For instance, a little doll, rather less
-han a foot long, but clad in a panoply
of steel and armed cap-a-pie, perfectly
modeled, and made at the period when
Louis XIII. sat on the throne of France,
sold for 615 francs.
Even this price was exceeded by that
paid for a tiny set of carriages carved
in wood and accompanied by an escort
af little wooden soldiers, made when
Napoleon I. was first consul, which
brought 1,000 francs. A miniature
kitchen was interesting as being an ex
act model of those in use in the time of
Louis XVI. A little jointed doll, six
teen inches in length, and dressed in a
broche silk Watteau costume, brought
110 francs, while the kitcnen was only
valued at 340 francs. A doll, still
dressed in the original faded brocade
silk, which had belonged to Marie An
toinette as a child, was sold for 1,800
francs. A roughly made wooden horse,
with a broken nose and one leg miss
big, authenticated as having belonged
to the great Napoleon when he was a
baby, went for 2,000 francs.
Exchanges" in English Journals
A peculiar feature of the English,
woman's journals is the "exchange"
solumn, wherein the woman who has a
"silver fox muff, boa and Medici col
lar," and on account of going intc
mourning desires to exchange it for a
Persian lamb collar and muff, makes it
manifest. One lady offers in this col
umn a "lovely Persian kitten; exchange
to the value of one pound; honey want
ed." Another offers to exchange a pair
of exquisite Dresden china candelabra
for "anything useful." Magazines and
reviews are also proffered in exchange
for other magazines and' books. The
- woman who is tired of her parrot will
give it in exchange for the pug that
some other woman is equally tired ol
petting. -Plants are offered to obtain
poultry in return, and everything but
husbands and deformities are adver
tised. ' - -
MEN AND THEIR WIVES.
The Striking; Contrast Sometimes
Seen
Uctwccn Them.
What a contrast there is in the gen
eral appearance of some men and their
wives. Some of them look as if they
had made a mistake and gobbled up a
woman that ought to have been some
other man's wife, and some women a
good many women look like victims of
some kind of a mistake. It is not un
common, says the Chicago Herald, to
see women dressed with all respect to
the latest designs sent out by Worth or
Felix, while the husband seems grate
ful that he has enough money left to
buy even "misfits." This attracts no
particular attention, but one's heart
will get to aching for the little pallid
faced and meek-looking woman who
wears a plush cloak and alapaca dress,
while the husband is radiant in fresh
new suits, tan-colored gloves, silk hat
and red . rose in buttonhole. I spent
an hour in with the pale-faced woman
And radiant husband yesterday. - It was
in a steam car. There, were four chil
dren with them, the oldest about six
years. ' The wife had on, in addition to
the plush cloak, a rusty black hat and
gray veil. The children were dressed
beautifully. How they loved her! One
little fellow came back to kiss her
about twice in five minutes. It was
"Oh, mamma, isn't that lovely?", and
"How long will it be before we are
there, mamma?" and "Are you glad we
are going?" and "Dear mamma." She
gave them some fruit. They would not
eat it until mamma had. a ''bite.'' .The
father was radiant, and dignified and
grand. He never got a kiss, nor a
"bite," nor a glance from thosefour
children. He paid their fare ' i-.iiil
looked out of the window. He h;id i
fine clothes, but tho mother- was Vxoii
in all the love that could fill little hearts
- CHQOSING A BUSINESS.
A. Serious Question for AU Xonng 'Men to
1 Consider.
"The question of choosing a business
is a serious one. As a rule, a young
man should adopt the calling for which
he has a preference. It he has no partic
ular choice, it would be well for him to
try different occupations, until he finds
one that suits him. . I do not counsel
changing about to gratify a spirit of
uneasiness, for once a young man is in
stalled in the business that he is suited
to, he ought to stick to it," writes Rus
sell Sage to the New York Herald. . "I
aave .known young men who entered
amployments reluctantly' and, after a
vial, became fond of them. ' A young
nfcn must bo determined to succeed.
After all, there is one great lever, and
that is will-power. Without it very
tow men succeed. "'"
. "It depends on the circumstances
whether failures betray incapacity in a
nan. If a failure is due to a cause not
general, then it may be attributed to a
,ack of foresight and understanding. A
ihrewd merchant will not stock up with
ansalable things; a shrewd farmer will
aot plant his ground to raise unsalable
jrops. Both the merchant and the
farmer must find out what is most sal
able and act accordingly. There are
exigencies,.. to be sure, like contagions,
lisasters, combinations, strikes and boy
:otts, that can not bo foreseen.; The
prudent man Of business has' prepared
himself to stand , losses from such
causes, and . when the troubles nave
passed the fact of his having weathered
them makes his financial position in the
jommunity stronger than over. Tho
present condition of the coal trade well
dlustrates tho uncertainty of things.
rho mild, open winter could not be fore
seen, and has caused groat dulness and
loss in the trade. . Then thero is the
narch of. improvement. This is an ago
)f competition, and it requires energy
iftd perception to meet it. . It used to
Sake 9u days to find out the condition of
ihe, tea crop in- Japan or the coffee crop
in Brazil. Xow an inquiry can bo sent
nd an answer secured in a singlo day.
'.'Tho young man should start out in
the world by- the time he is 21. - If he is
jualifled to begin life for himself at an
earlier age. he should do it. I began as
i clerk when I was 13. At 18 I was in
business for myself, and I have kept my
sign up ever since. I should say that
the average boy could take a clerkship
it tho age of 16 or 18.' A wrong start
need not mean a permanent failure.
Many of the most successful men have
started wrong and afterwatd righted
themselves. There are many instance?
where men educated for the pulpit hav
Gforfo to tho bar and been conspicuous
successes. Then, again, men educated
for the bar have gone to the pulpit and
achieved success." '
A DESPERATE- REMEDY.
Attempt to Cure Elephantiasis by Means
of a Kattlesiiake's Bite.
Many years ago the count of Cunna
transformed an old Jesuit convent into
a hospital for the especial treatment of
elephantiasis, says a letter from Rio de
Janeiro. It was placed under the super
vision of the Irmandade do Santissimo
Sacramento, and to this day remains in
their care. It is said that the average
number of patients is one hundred a
year, and that at least nine-tenths of
them die. ' Some time ago a Rio doctor
claimed to have discovered that the
elephantiasis of Brazil was the identi
cal disease which the ancient Greelite
cured by the bite of a rattlesnake. He
awakened public attention to his theory
by publishing several learned disqui
sitions, and at length was given an op
portunity of putting it to a practical
test. An educated gentleman in the
Sacramento hospital who at the age of
fifty had been afflicted with the disease
six yearS became anxious , to submit
himself to the hazardous experiment.
A day was fixed for it and the physi
cians and friends assembled to witness
the experiment. The- serpent was
brought in a cage, and into this the
patient, confident of a speedy cure,
thrust his hand. At first the reptile
seemed to shrink from the contact, as
if afraid of contracting the disease, and
when "stirred up" a little,' though
rattling loudly, merely licked the hand
without biting it. At length the impa
tient invalid pinched the serpent hard
and received a thrust from his fangs
near the base of the little firfger. ' A few
drops of blood oozed from the wound
and a slight swelling appeared when
the hand was withdrawn from the
cage, but no pain was felt. Moments
of intense anxiety followed while it
remained to be seen what effect this
disagreeable medicine " would produce.
It soon became evident that the disease
which had preoccupied the system re
tarded the natural result, but in twenty
hours the man was dead.

Open Olive OU BotU
lea and Help
"Themselves Lavishly.
I want you to look at that bottle,"
said a druggist to a Doylestown (Pa.)
Democrat reporter the other day. The
!xttle held up for inspection contained
a half-pint of olive oil its full capacity
and had been manufactured with an
jnusually narrow neck, measuring, per
japs. four inches in length.
What's the matter with it?" asked the
justomer. .
There's nothing the matter with the
bottle, but do yon see where that cork
s?" . , ' .. ,
"Yes, it's about half-way ' down' tho
neck." - .
Well, that's what there is peculiar
iboutit, and here's another," continued
he druggist, producing a second bottle,
with the cork pushed almost into the
H. Xow. bow. ilo von Burmese those'
jorks got into tnat position?"
"Somebody pushed them down, -of
jourse. t.
No. sir; I know you-will never guess,
o I may as well tell you. Those corks
were forced down the necks of the hot-
.les by rats. That may sound pretty
stiff when you consider that a rat's leg
is scarcely long enough to reach down
jo where that, cork is, but it's a fact.
We found our olive oil bottles opened'
Mid the contents spilled around the cel
lar, and it was a long time before we
;aught On to how it was done. It was a
jicnic for the rats. They would go over
o the grocery store' across the street,
311 up on cheese, and when they felt
she need of a laxative come into our
cellar and take a dose of oil. One of
chem even moved the lid off a big box
jontaining bottles of oil packed in
straw, and had a bottle half open when we
lrscovered him. "A stone weighing about
en pounds had been placed on the lid
tf the box, but he managed to get it out
l the way. You will notice these bot
tles were originally bound with husk,
ind th& cork securely tied down and
then covered with ' bladder. The rats
first gnaw off the bladder cap and then
work on the cork -until it is about a
quarter of an inch thick. Then begins
the mysterious work of forcing them in
to the oil. After the cork is out of the
way they overturn the bottle and pro
ceed to enjoy the contents."
The customer went down cellar with
the proprietor, saw the box referred to
and inspected the bottle that had been
operated upon. Putting a pencil into
the'neck, it was discovered considerable
.trength would have to be expended in
order that the cork might be moved.
How the rodents accomplish it remains
a mystery.
DISPENSARY HUMOR.
Even Su Gruesome a. Place as a Hospital
lias Its Fuuiiy Sit!e. r
A woman who was being treated for
stomach difficulty at the north end dispen
sary, writes Arlo Bates from Boston, fount
in the ash heaps of the dump a bottle con J
taming some gruesome black mixture, and
the next time she presented herself for ex
animation she brought it with, her.
"Doctor," sho said, "will yer plaze tr
taste o' that! I thought to take a little las
night; ye wouldn't believe the power o dis
tress I was in the whole blessed time."
Distress I' the doctor exclaimed in vex
ation; ''I'm glad of it. Didn't I tell you
that if you kept taking things I wouldn't
have any thing more to do with you!"
. "Yes, I know, doctor, an' I ax yer pardon.
But I couldn't bear to waste it, for fear it
might be just the very medicine I'd need."
And when she weat away she asked for
the bottle, as she had a sister who was not
well and she thought it might help her.
On another occasion I happened to be in
the room of the dentist of the dispensary
when there came in an elderly Irishwoman
with hter daughter, a strapping woman of
two or three and twenty. The mother wac
urging the daughter to have a tooth extract
ed, and it became apparent from the con
versation that they had been there the day
oeforc, but that the daughter's courage had
not boon brought up to the sticking point
This time, however, the woman was per
suaded to get into the chair and to allow the
.dentist to examine her teeth ; but upon the
inquiry which was the offending tooth, the
interesting fact was developed that there
were none of the young woman's teeth par
ticularly out of order, but. that it being a
superstition to which she and- her mother
religiously held that whenever a woman
bore a child she must lose, a tooth, they
had thought it best to have one taken out
before it became painful.
'Which, one would you like me to take
out?" inquired the dentist, much diverted.
"O, shure an' it's yerselrll be after know
!n which one it'll be will be achin'," was thf
reply. "It's her first child, an' he's the fin
est boy ever yez laid eyes on." From whicl
it will be evident that even so gruesomr
a place as adispensary has its humors-).

. The Mountain Sphinx
i In Surrey County, C, there is a re
markable natural "curiosity in .the' shape
of a mountain resembling' the 'famous
ephinx of Egypt In all its details. It
lays east of the Blue Ridge, Mountains,
on the Piedmont plains, like a gigantic
lion; its body at right angle to the ridge
act of rising. The head is of solid rock,
and with head reared aloft as if in the
several hundred leet In height. The
shoulders and breast are finely propor
tioned, and at the distance of a few
miles it looks like" a thing of life ' and
intelligence. It rises about 1,500 feet
above the plainand can be seen for a
distance of f0 miles.
