Chicago Inter' Ocean. TO STOP THE PROGRESS of Consumption, you will find but one guaranteed remedy Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. In advanced cases, it brings comfort and relief ; if you haven't delayed too long, it will certainly cure. It doesn't claim too much. It won't make new lungs nothing can ; but it will make diseased ones sound and healthy, when everything else has failed. The scrofulous affection of the lungs that's caused Consumption, like every other form of Scrofula, and every blood-taint and disorder, yields to the "Discovery." It is the most effective blood - cleanser, trength - restorer, and flesh -builder known to medical science. In all Bronchial, Throat and Lung Affec tions, if it ever fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. A perfect and permanent cure . for your Catarrh or $500 in cash. This is prom ised by the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Israel Yon never, vill haf money, Ikey, if you don't vas eat your apples nearer de core as dot.

During the prevalence of the grippe the past seasons it was a noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr. King's New Discovery, not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped ail of the troublesome after effects of the malady. This remedy seems to have a peculiar power in effecting rapid cures not only in cases of la grippe, "but in all diseases of throat, chest and lungs, and has cured cases of asthma and hay fever of long standing. Try it and be convinced. It won't disappoint. ' Free trial bottles at Snipes & Kinersly's drug store. Miss Ricbgirl Really, pa, it is cruel to ask George to wait until spring.

McGuire, a well known citizen of McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that there is nothing as good as children troubled with colds or croup as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He has used it in his family for several years with the best results and always kept a bottle of it in the house. After having la grippe he was himself troubled with severe cough. He used other remedies without benefit and then concluded to try the children's medicine and to his delight it soon effected a permanent cure. 60 cent bottles for sale by Blakeley & Honghton Druggists.

A Benevolent Traveler Make a Slight Mistake and Is Assaulted. : An old gentleman got on a Wiscon sin Central train at Rockefeller and took a seat beside a man with a face as kindly as a- picture of Peter Cooper. These two men were strangers to each other, but a strong- relationship lay be tween them the affinity of honesty and good humor. They talked of the recent rains, and were sorry that they had not fallen soon enoug-h to save the corn crop; still they were willing' to leave the crops and the whole scheme of life to Providence. They talked about politics, religion and then told stories and laughed until tears ran down their cheeks. . ' ' By this time, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the train had reached Des plaines, and the man from Rockefeller got off. And when the train started the other old fellow discovered that a valise had been left on the seat just in front of him. He sprang to his feet, threw up the window, thrust his head out, shouted at his friend and then, grabbing the valise, dropped it from the window. And about two minutes later a big fellow came along and. said: "I am looking for a valise I left here." The benevolent man, in a flutter of excitement, jumped up and began to stammer: "I I threw it off the train I" - "You did!" roared the big fellow, and, not waiting for an explanation, hauled off and struck at the old gentleman and skinned his knuckles against the window. The conductor ran forward and grabbed the big fellow and held him until the kind-hearted man explained the mishap. In this hurried life there is such a thing as being too obliging. HE WAS TOO MODERATE. And He Afterwards Blamed Himself for Praying; for so Little. The Syracuse Post tells this story of an old colored man in that city who works in a stone quarry in that vicin ity. Not long ago while blasting was in progress he lost one of his eyes. Be fore he was examined by the doctors at the time he said he wanted to pray be fore any operation was performed upon him. "Well, hurry up," he was told. Ando he began to pray in his strict Methodist way for the kind Lord to save him his eyes, and if he couldn't save them both to save at least one of them. Then he prayed for one eye; he wanted only one eye; so long as he could see. that would be enough. Finally the operation was a thing of the past and one eye was saved. Not long after some one saw him on the street with a patch over one eye. He was growling and grumbling. "What's the matter?" he was asked. "Mattah? Why, Ise made a fool ob dis ycre nijy gah!" he growled. "And how?;' "Why. wen I done got- dis here eye blov-ed out well, j'' see, I taut dat 1 moug-ht lose both eyes, an' so I prayed dat one eye, anyways, would be left to me. Well, de Lord answered my prayer; but Ise made a fool ob mvself. 'Ax an' y' shall receib," says de Bible. Well, I axed, an' I got wot I axed foh. De reason Ise a blame fool i dat I didn't ax for two eyes instead ob one!" A CHICKEN'S STRANGE FEAT. The Fowl Called Out a City Fire De partment. An obstreperous chicken succeeded in calling out our fire department not long since, said a citizen of Savannah, Ga. It was a male bird of the game persuasion, and had acquired the very bad habit of flying away from home and mounting to an extraordinary height for a domesticated bird. On one occasion, when chased by some boys, it got badly scared, and, flying up rap idly, struck some wires and got tangled up in them hopelessly. By some means or other it shook or disarranged a wire whicb notified the department of a fire, and every effort was made to get promptly to the scene of the supposed outbreak. No fire being discovered, it was evident a false alarm had been turned in, but the continued struggle of the rooster sent in further alarms and caused a general demoralization of the electric service. When the cause of the disturbance was finally located the bird was nearly dead, and its hand some appearance had entirely vanished. This is, I believe, the first case on rec ord of a chicken upsetting electric service in this way, but the bird, al though quite a small one, succeeded in doing the work quite effectively. WARM COREAN SHANTIES. Even the Poorest Manages to Have a Cheerful Little Furnace. The Coreans may be a very uncivil ized people, but it is said they know something about warming their houses. Even the meanest of their abodes is furnished with a furnace, called kang, whioh, while very primitive, is ex tremely effective and embodies all the best points of the most approved con trivance for house-warming. The furnace, says the San Francisco Chronicle, is situated at one side of the house, or generally at one end. It bums with a do wn draught, and the heat and smoke are conveyed through numerous flues under the mud floors to a chimney at the opposite side of the building. No smoke or foul air gets into the house, and the floors are kept very warm. It is said that a small fire of brushwood in the furnace will thoroughly beat a large house. In fact the only fault that is found with Corean house-heating is that it is too effective, and the diseases of the people are largely due to their keeping their houses too hot. Indoors they are ac customed to maintain a temperature of seventy or eighty degrees while out side the weather is at zero or below. Largest Baby Ever Born. The largest baby at time of birth of which the medicos of the world have any record first saw the light of day at Macon, Ga., during the eummerof 1890. The child . was the offspring of Will Lennon, a well-known painter of that burg. When the child was twenty-four hours old it weighed but one and one half ounces less than forty pounds. SOUTHERN SQUJRREU HUNTERSy Primitive Habits and Customs of I-ouiI- ana Nimrods. "I have been among the squirrel hunt ers," said a gentleman who had just re turned from his vacation, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat. '"The squirrel hunters are a peculiar ixsople inhabiting the southwestern counties of Mississippi and adjoining Louisiana parishes. They have been living thero for generations and preserve the prim itive customs and habits of their fore fathers. "The squirrel hunter is doubtless a dc- ! scendant of Kentucky settlers, for they are all tall, stately peoploand great lovers of the hunt. But there is now little large game to be found, and so they spend their time hunting the squirrel, which is also scarce. , The squirrel hunters are farmers, but raise little ex cept corn. The pine-hill region, where they live, is not penetrated by rail roads, and there are hundreds cf such people who have never seen a steam engine. I saw a great many of the oldest squirrel hunters of the country, and found them to be a very strange looking people. They all wear long hair, which often reaches down to their belts. Their beards, too, are long, often matted with their hair. They wear homespun pantaloons and homemade shoes. Their shirts are oftentimes made from the skins of squirrels, which they wear in the win ter, while in summer they wear an open blouse shirt, also of home make. Their houses are made of pine logs, be tween which mud is placed as a plas tering. These houses are covered with pine boards split from the woods. There are never any inclosures about their, homes, their yards opening out into the pine forest. "These squirrel hunters, while they have no churches, are a very religious people, though a great deal of supersti tion is connected with their worship. Their churches are made of boughs of pine, placed upon a scaffolding, to keep out the sun. Now and then a country revival is held in these arbor-houses, but this is seldom." FUN FOR YOUNG JAPS. How the Youngsters Ensoare Dragon Plies for Kites. One of the greatest amusements for the childVen of Japn is catching the "dragon fly," said Dr. W. F. Taylor, of Boston, who, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has spent several years in Japan. Japan is a land of children, and thousands of them liter ally put in several weeks every autumn in capturing dragon flies and tying kites to them for the fun of seeing them fly. Soon after the turn of the sun in the afternoon hundreds and thousands of huge dragon flies busy themselves flying here and there over the rice fields and gardens, catching insects and gnats. The Japanese boys carefully saturate the end of a bamboo with tar and start out for the fun. They must hold the bamboo up to at tract the unsuspecting dragons to take a rest. In a moment the boy gives the bamboo a twist, and puts the tar end into so manv motions that it is impos sible for the creature to avoid it. The boys are so expert at the business that I have seen them chase a fly that had gotten much ahead of them, and succeed in sticking the dragon fly to the reed. WThen once on the tar end of the pole there is a miserable future for the captives. -They are tied to--gether and carried around in the chase. Then a string is tied to each one, and a small piece of paper; serving as a kite, which the poor flies are required to sail. They fly away, but of course soon get caught in a tree or bush and die of starvation. ALL WERE WRONG BUT HIM. Hut the Eleven Obstinate Jurors Finally Came to a Sensible Conclusion. The obstinacy which is said to be characteristic of the Scotch is illus trated in the following story, which was recently related to a writer for the New York Advertiser: "My father," said the narrator, ."came over about seventy-five years ago and settled in Michigan, which, in that part at any rate, ' was a semi-wilderness. As the country grew more settled my father, from the mere fact of his having been a pioneer, became very prominent in civic affairs in the community. . He was very conscientious, but extremely impatient of contradiction, never un derstanding why a person could dis agree with him, when he was so plain ly correct in his position. Well, one night, contrary to his usual custom, he did not come home to supper. Eight o'clock came and the whole family was in bed and still he had not arrived. I t was after one o'clock in the morning that his heavy step was heard on the stairs. My mother, , who had been anxious, met him with a light in her hand. " 'Where have you been?' she asked, looking at him seriously. 'Been on a jury,' he growled. " 'Why did you stay so late?' " 'Stay so late? There were eleven obstinate devils on that jury audit took me all night to convince thera.' " Effect of Two Big Guns. During the recent naval maneuvers two ten-inch guns were fired simultane ously on one of the vessels with startling effect. The glass that protects the helmsman and the windows of the chart house, of which the glass is one-third of an inch thick, were smashed to atoms. An inkstand, bottles and tum blers jumped six inches into the air and spilled their contents, but came down whole, and men near the turret were lifted off their feet by the con cussion. China's Best Tea. Scented tea is a great favorite with the Chinese. This is made by mixing jessamine or orange blossoms with the tea for twenty-four hours, after which it is sifted and separated, and then packed. The stranger in China finds it almost impossible to buy the best tea. So little of the best quality or first picking is obtained that the Chinese keep it for themselves. It is very expensive. - iviex-ican x - Mustang Liniment for - .. : .., Bums, v Caked & Inflamed Udders.
