"You horrid, mean, detestable old thing," said a yoang woman in brown stepping np behind a young woman in blue, who was enjoying a solitary ice cream eoda at a drug etore counter. "You're a perfect pig." The young wom an in blue turned an astonished face toward the speaker, and the speaker was covered with confusion and blushes. "Oh 1" she exclaimed, "Beg your pardon 1 I thought you were a Iriend of mine." To which the young woman in blue re plied amiably: "Of course, I knew you did from the way you spoke!" Boston Post. TWO KINDS OF WOMEN need Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion those who want to be made strong, and those who want to be made well. It builds up, invigor ates, regulates, and cures. It's for young girls just entering womanhood ; for women who have reached the critical " change of life " ; for women expecting to be come mothers ; for mothers who are nursing and exhausted ; for every woman who is run - down, delicate, or overworked. For all the disorders, diseases, and weaknesses of women, " Favorite Prescription " is the only remedy so unfailing that it can be guar anteed. If it doesn't benefit or cure, in every case, the money will be returned. There's nothing likely to be "just as good." While in Chicago, Mr. Charles L. Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant of Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious time of it. He took such a severe cold that he could hardly talk or navigate, but the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cured him so quickly that others at the hotel who had bad colds followed his example and half a dozen persons ordered it from the near est drug store. They were profuse in their thanks to Mr. Kahler for telling them how to cure a bad cold so quickly. For sale byBlakeley & Houghton Drug gists.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local rem edies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure in the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blcocTand mucous surfaces of the system. Tbey offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. . F. J.

Cardinal Fesch, a box of MSS. containing' papers written from his sixteenth to his twenty-fourth year. After the cardinal's death these papers fell into various hands. In 1847 Lord Ashburnam bought them for the ex orbitant price of forty thousand dol lars. They now belong to the royal library of Florence, and will soon ap pear in book form under the auspices of Mr. Frederick Masson. The 6tory was written at Auxoune, its author, a lieutenant of cavalry, being then in the garrison of that place, and nine teen years of age. As a youth Napoleon Bonaparte adored England, the prime author of his future downfall, and detested France, whose idol and supreme ruler he was yet to be. These prejudices came out prominently in the story, which is of the blood-and-thunder sort, and which, written by a hand less fa mous, would be dismissed as the very crude production of a youth whose im agination reveled in scenes of carnage and horror. A grim old Sicilian warrior, who has fled -from civilization and with his daughter inhabits a steep, barren rock in the Mediterranean known as the Island of Garzona, tells the story. He had led a revolt against the hated French lasting eight years. At its close forty of his one hundred soldiers had been executed, his parents, wife and seven sons cruelly murdered before his eyes, and his daughter carried off as prisoner. In dying his father had. made him swear eternal hatred and vengeance against the French. He was not allowed to remain unmo lested on his rocky island. One day seven Turks landed there with three prisoners, one of whom they killed. One of the two others, who were set at liberty, proved to be the long lost daughter. The third, a Frenchman, the old man drove from him, bidding him hide in a cave from the light of day and show his presence under penalty of death. For protection the daughter donned male attire. Frenchmen kept landing at the is land, and were pretty sure to be mur dered by the father and his daughter. One time, when two French vessels were wrecked off the rocks and the crews swam ashore, this lovely pair killed them all. At another time, when a French ship was near foundering, the old man, moved by the lamentable cries of the poor wretches, spared their lives to his lasting regret. Here he parenthetically remarks that he is a man, and that "before one grows hard and bad enough to be a king or minister he must have stifled all the feelings that belong to human nature." These French monsters proved un grateful and put on the airs of mas ters. When they returned to their ship our hero, who had previously plunged his stiletto into the hearts of two of them, arming himself with a brace of stilettos and four pistols, boarded ' the ship and slew everv livinar soul on board. Then the father and daughter took possession of the ship's furniture and treasures and dragged the bodies of the victims to their home altar, where the fumes of their burning flesh rose in "a novel incense which seemed to please the Deity." THE GUN KICKED. And the African Thought It Was a Little Too Strong for Him. When Mr. Montague, the English traveler, was in "Africa, he gave to a native an old single-barreled gun, and the fellow was delighted, says Golden Days. lie put in a small handful of powder, and about a quarter of a news paper on top of it, and finally a ball, and then rammed the whole charge down. Then he departed. In the evening he returned, with his face bat tered and swollen almost beyond recog nition. ' "What have you been doing?" asked the Englishman, in amazement. The native sat down on the ground and said, sorrowfully: "A little after noon I found the track of the elands, and I followed it until I found them feeding. I crept up to one of them. He was twenty yards away. I rested the barrel of the gun on a stone, placed the butt against my nose, directed the muzzle toward the eland and pulled the trigger. I do not know what happened, for I was blind and deaf for some time, but when I came to I found myself lying at the bottom of the gully. The gun was beside me, my face was as you now see it, and the elands had gone away. Son of a white man, it was very kind of you to give me a gun, but it is too good a gun for me too strong, too powerful. It needs the wisdom of a white man to rule it. Take it back. Farewell!" Doar Population of Paris. Paris has eighty thousand registered dogs, says the Eleveur, which means that there is one licensed dog to every twenty-eight inhab itants. Granting that there are as many unlicensed dogs as there are licensed ones, the canine popula tion of Paris is a very large one indeed. The largest number of dogs is found in the poorest quarters. The estimated cost of feeding the eighty, thousand dogs is two million dollars per annum, and they in' turn afford a living to twenty-five manufacturers of dog col lars and muzzles, four bakers of dog's bread, five factories where dog biscuits, consisting of meat fibe r, are made, three special dog pharmacies, a dozen in firmaries and two hospitals. Giants of Prehistoric France. In . a prehistoric "cemetery recently uncovered at Montpelier, France, while workmen" were excavating a water works reservoir, human skulls were found measuring twenty-eight, thirty one and thirty-two inches 1 in circum ference. The bones which were found with the skulls were also of, gigantic proportions. These relics were sent to the Paris academy, and a learned "sa vant," who lectured on the find, says that they belonged to a race1 of men between ten and fifteen feet in height.
