Honntate Mahogany.
A bundle of mountain mahogany
sticks lying in front of the express office
reminds us forcibly of old times down in
Nevada. In the eastern part .of the
state this is about' All tha t can be pro
cured in many localities for fire-wood
It is as bard as flint and holds fire like'a
government appropriation. Oat at
White Pine we were engaged at one time
in baling hav. The, corral was made of
mahogany logs, and for lack of' some
thing better it was used to do our cook
ing with. One nieht Black Jack, the
cook of the outfit, was lying asleep in
his bunk, his foot sticking out from be
tween the covers, and his big toe lying
temptingly an inch away from its neigh
bor. Charley Daly, who had been im
bibing bug juice at a neighbor's to an
unlimited extent, came in ana saw
Jack's "toee. At the same time his
drunken gaze fastened on a glowing ma
hogany ' coal. In a minute he had
scooped up a hand fall of ashes, placed
the . live coal on top, and in less time
' than it takes to relate it,' bad dropped
the coal between Jack's gaping toee. In
just about half a second Chaj-ley was
going out the cabin door, pursued by
two pistol balls, one of which lodged in
the door casing, and the other cut the
sleeve of his coat- There was no hay
baled next day, it taking the whole of
it to patch up a treacherous peace.

Aug. J. Bogel, the. leading drnggist of
Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. -King'
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that is claimed for it : it
never fails, and is a sere cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colde. I cannot
say enough for its merits."' Dr. King's

It has been tried for a quarter of a cen

LIQUOR FROM GAS BURNERS.
Device of a Portland. BIc, Hotel for
i Evading: the Prohibition- Law.
Everybody who visits -Maine lias a
different story to tell on his return of
lis expcraptice in getting1 drinks, says
the New York- Sun. The champion
storv is, perhaps, told by a well-known
raveling salesman. He says that when
he asked for a drink at a Portland hot (SI,
he was shown into a room, which had
nothing- in it but table, on wihic.li were

THE BIGGEST CAT.
It 13 Thirty Inches Lone and Weichs
. Twenty-Fonr Pounds.
Just plain "Tom" is the unpretending
name of probably the greatest domestic
cat m the world.
Edward Simmons, a fish, and oyster
dealer of .New York, is the proud pos
sessor of "Tom." This giant bf cats
is 30. inches in length, from his head to
the tip of his tail. He is a foot high.

The iecent hot weather has caused him
to drop a few pounds of flesh, but has
not impaired his health or happiness.
I nomas is black and white, and is
rather peculiarly marked. lie has .two
complete rings of white around his.tail
which makes him look like first cousin
to n raccoon.
Mr. Simmons picked up the cat two
years ago while walking along South
street. Thomas was but a stray kitten
then, so that his pedigree has never
been ascertained, and it is not known
whether or not heredity has had any
thing to do with his enormous siz.
Fasted NeSrly Two Tears.
Dr. Tanner's famous fast of 40 days
is thrown into the background as
starvation feat, by the performances of
the big anaconda at the Philadelphia
zoological gardens, which was 'only re
cently tempted to eat a nice fat rabibt
after going hungry for 22 months. It
may have been even longer, but the
keepers have no record of the creature's
doings previous to its- captivity, and so
can t tell. It is not very unusual for
snake to abstain from food for several
months, at the end of which time death
generally results; but the anaconda
case is distinctly dmerent from any
other. Its fast lasted more than twice
as long as any in the history . of the
zoo, and during the whole of its con
tinuance there was no evidence of ill
health. " The spell now seems to be en
tirely broken, and the anaconda call
regularly for its meals.

Blectrfo Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling fevails, when the liver is torpid
and tlu-zgish and the need of a tonic and
an'd alterative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medic
cine will act more eureiy counteracting
