"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

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.

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.

case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

Discovery of a Work of Fiction Written
by Bonaparte In His Youth.
Napoleon, when about to enter on
his adventurous career, committed to
his uncle. 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.
