UNTOLD MISERY 7KOXC HEUEIlATISm C. H. King, Water Valley, Miss., cured by Ayer's Sarsaparilla "For five years, I suffered untold misery from muscular rheumatism. I tried every known remedy, consulted the best physi cians, visited Hot Springs, Ark., three times, spending $1000 there, besides doctors" bills; tout could obtain only temporary relief. My flesh was wasted away so thnt I weighed only nlnety-tliree pounds ; my left arm and leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles iiitt TTirfnf"! lirf r "r riR,ii.'-T- " toeing twisted up in knots. I was unable to dress myself, except with assistance, and could only hobble about by using a cane. I liad no appetite, and was assured, by the doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at times, were so awful, that I could procure relid only by means of hypodermic Injec tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged In clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these gave only temporary relief. After trying everything, and suffering the most awful tortures, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Inside of two months, I was able to walk without a cane. In three months, my limbs began to strengthen, and in the course of a year, I was cured. My weight has increased to 165 pounds, and I am now able to do my full day's work as a railroad blacksmith." The Only World's Fair Sarsaparilla. .Ylilt'S riTLS cure Headache It is the same old story and yet con stantly recurring that Simmons Liver Regulator is the beat family medicine. "We have used it in our family for eight years and find it the best medicine we ever used. We think there ia no each .medicine aa Simmons Liver Regulator." Mrs. M. E. S. Adiuston, Franklin, N. C.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra ordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact urers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but tbey were all turned away under the application of the rule for bidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the world's fair authorities intavorof Ayer's Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on its merits." The Ideal Panacea. Jatnes L. Francis, Alderman, Chicago, eays: "I regard Dr. King's New Dis covery s an Ideal Panacea for coughs, colds and Lung Complaints, having used it in my family for the last five years, to the exclusion of physician's prescrip tions or other preparations." Rev. John BurguB, Keokuk, Iowa, writes: "I have been a Minister of the Methodist Episcopal church for 50 years or more, and have never found anything so beneficial, or that gave me such speedy relief as Dr. King's New Discovery." - Try this Ideal Cough Remedy now. Trial bottles free at Blakeley & Houghton's, Drng Store; Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approach ing Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured.

It is said that a dog in Milliken, Mich., possesses and uses daily a full set of artificial teeth. -- The dog is very old, ond it is a family pet. When it lost its teeth recently its owner, according to the story, hod the local dentist make the animal a full set of teeth and they ore said to be a perfect working- suc cess. " - - . The old notion that southern wom en are languid, feeble folk ought to be dispelled by the ac$ of four women in a suburb of Macon, Ga. A house took fire during the night and the neighbors gathered to help the inmates in saving their effects. Four women carried a large upright piano from the parlor all the way out into the middle of the street unassisted. A Xox and a hunter together stalked a partridge near Tyson, Vt., the other c!ny, but each unknown to the other. The bird alighted in an apple tree be hind the burn, and the hunter tiptoed oroundoneside of the barn and brought the bird down. But as the bird dropped the fox, coming round the other side of the barn, seized it and was off with his dinner before the hunter could appre ciate what had happened. - The tail of the crawfish serves that animal as an oar. By a peculiar jerk of the tail the animal can retire from a dangerous object with almost incredi ble swiftness. The tail is -much more elfective in moving the animal back ward than forward, a singular instance of adaptation ie its situation, for by menus of its tail it can withdraw iruto its hole with such swiftness as in an instant to place it outof danger. The latest story of a wonderful gold find in Alaska is of a lake whose bed is literally paved deep with gold dust The lake is 1,000 yards long, 400 yards wide and 150 feet deep. It is fed by water from a glacier, and its only outlet is a little stream two feet deep, but of incredible swiftness. The assay of the sand which a sea captain brought to Seattle recently showed $8 to $10 a cubic yard, and on this basis a man alone could take out $10,000 a year. The big white moose recently shot in the Maine woods by a Mr. Sargent, of Grafton, has greatly interested natural ists as well as sportsmen. It is the only white moose ever seen in Maine, and very few have ever been heard of else where. The . naturalists say it is, of course, not strange that there should be an albino moose, resulting' from a freak of nature, as white deer and other albino game animals are not uncom mon. But white moose are a great rarity, MARY ANDERSON'S BEGINNING. Rehearsing In the Kitchen Before a Ut ile Negro Servant. In the south most of the servants were negroes. Among ours was a lit tle mulatto girl ("nut-brown maid" she called herself) whose chief attrae tion to me was her enthusiasm for the theater. One night in desperation I went to her while she was washing dishes in the kitchen and there unfolded all my hopes. It was to her I first acted, and she gave me my first npplause. The clapping of those soapy, steaming lianus seemed to me a veritable tri umph. Believing that a tragic manner alone would, sufficiently impress the situa tion on the "nut-brown maid," I began with a hollow voice and much furrow ing of the brow: "Juli, wilt thou fol low and assist me when I quit my child hood's home to walk in the path of bullions, Kemble and Booth?" "Oh, Miss Manie, yon kin count on dis pus- son, fo' de Lor you kin! Why, my stars, what a boss actor you is! But you mus low me to call you maw, and in a trice she was gone. . A few moments later she reentered the kitchen with my mother, who was greatly surprised by my performance in the fourth act of '"The Lady of Ly ons," which could not have been acted in a more appropriate part of the house. She, in turn, called the critic of the family, Dr. Griffin, who, likewise, was astonished, and made my heart beat with joy by saying: "You'll make a good actress some day. Your scene has thrilled me, and I would rather have rough work and a good thrill than any amount of artistic work without it." Spurred on by such encouragement 1 worked harder than ever, often stay ing up half the liight to get some effect wlnle trying to look into the heart and mind of the character under study. After that evening in the kitchen I read scenes or acted them nightly to our smau Household, usunlly from 'Hamlet," "Richard" or Schiller's ''Maid of Orleans." Mary Anderson, in North American Review. - ' Uombted tlie Bill. . One of the principal men in the bureau of printing and engraving had a some what peculiar experience in New York recently. He had occasion to visit the metropo lis on business, and after a stay of sev eral days at one of the chief hotels he called for his bill. . When it was given him he tendered in payment a brand new $20 silver certificate. The clerk looked at it for a moment and then passed it back. "What is the matter?.' said the offi cial. "I can't take that," replied the clerk. "I don't think it's good." . "Not good!" exclaimed the official. "Not good! Why, man, I know it's good. I-made it myself." "Yes," said the clerk", "that's just what I thought." Washington Post. AHigh () The largest piece of ever sold More Bills Allowed.

The Remedy Was All Right, Bat It Warn Given to the Wrong Man. One of the most amusing stories of the. day treats of mistaken, . philan thropy, according to Tid-Bits. At a certain army post there was a London sentry on duty near the hospital. The surgeon was preparing to go to bed in side, when he was annoyed and alarmed at the sentry s coughing. ' His ex perienced ear told him that the man had a severe bronchial affliction need ing a strong remedy. He debated awhile with himself and then going into the dispensing-room compounded a powerful mixture. This he took outside to the sentry, with in structions to swallow it immediately. The man refused. The surgeon in sisted, and finally commanded the soldier to take the medicine, which he did with much grumbling. Then the worthy surgeon went to bed, pleased to hear no more coughing. Next morning, to his surprise, the commanding officer sent for him and said that the sentry had complained declaring that the surgeon had forced him to swallow something he thought was poison. An investigation followed, and revealed the fact that while the surgeon was mixing the medicine the coughing sentry had been relieved, and consequently the ' remedy had been given to the wrong man. Eh osphorns in the Unman Body. The human brain contains a consid erable proportion of phosphorus, vary ing from 1-20 to 1-30 of the entire mass. If the average weight of the Caucasian brain be..takenat. HV2. ounces it will then contain an amount of phosphorus -amounting to from 1 7-12 to 2 ounces. A curious fact regarding this phos phorus in the human brain is that it is al most entirely wanting in the brain matter of idiots. Great Wear of Railroad Iron Taking the total length of the rail ways of the world at even 60,000 miles, and allowing a daily average of ten trains over each road, it is estimated that the. total loss "of iron by wear and tear each day of the year is not less than 600 tons. The iron thus lost goes back to the earth in the shape of fine powder, which is finally transformed into soluble iron salts. Administrator's Fate of Real Estate.
