Miss Lulu Stevens, of Gasport, N iagara Co., N. Y., had been a very healthy
girl until about a year ago, when she grew weak and pale. She lost her appetite,
was as tired in the morning as on retiring, and lost flesh until she became so
emaciated th at her friends hardly knew her. The doctors declared the disease
anosmia, and gav^e her up to die. A physician who was visiting in G asport p re­
vailed upon her to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. She did so, and
was benefited at once. She is now well aud strong—the very picture of health.

An Erratic W riter.
When Thomas Bailey Aldrich was a
small salaried slerk iu George W.
Carleton’s book itoroon Broadway, H tz
James O ’Brien was iu the habit oi
dropping in to see him, and oue duy
;ame in rather more than half seas
over. Aldrich decided to tako him
across the street to a hotel aud put him
to bed Cautiously and carefully ho led
O’Brien, but beforo be had got hall
way across a friend stopped him and
asked: “ Why do you w ant to bother
with the fellow. Let him go. ” “ I w ill
not, replied Aldrich. “ He borrowed
dollar from me a few days ago, and I
can’t afford to let anything happen to
him .”
.
At another time, when he was not
rtrictly sober, O’Brien found himself
m t of funds. He wandered into a pub­
lisher’s office and asked for J25. ib is
was refused him. Angrily seizing a
placard O’Brien reversed it and made
in big letters on the blank side: “ One
o f ------’s authors. 1 am starving. ” T y­
ing a string to the card, O ’Brien placed
it around his neck and paraded up and
down the street, to the great amuse­
ment of a large crowd. Ho was of
course requested to desist, but nothing
stopped his mad course until a $5 bill
Xt’as preseRted to him as a compromise.

The devil, dragon or octopus tree, ns
it is variously called iu tho different
stories told of it, is oue of those travel­
ers’ myths which by dint of repetition
have worked their way iuto public be­
lief. The mau eating or devil tree is,
according to the story, a huge plant
somewhat resembling a palm, save that
the central fronds aro provided with
sharp teeth, which, when the leaves
are folded over toward the center, grasp
w ith a death grip the man or anim al
unfortunate enough to be inclosed w ith ­
in Iu some of the storioa this treo is
also provided with long arms, which
reach out and seize unwary travelers,
raise their bodies in the air ami drop
them iuto the center of the circle of
devouring leaves.
It is hardly necessary to say th at
there is no such tree and that the story
has its origiu iu tho dangers cf travers­
ing a tropical thicket, where travelers
have received serious injuries from fall­
ing over vines and among thorny plants,
where men are frequently attacked and
killed by serpents. The devil treo is lo­
cated by various story tellers iu Borneo,
iu Sum atra and iu the forest recesses of
other tropical islands, aud whenever
inquiry is made for it it is to he found
somewhere else.—St. Louis Globe-Dem­
ocrat.

A Fanama Hat.
“ The life of a panama bat—th at is,
if it is a good one to start w ith ,’’ re­
marked nu adm irer of that style of head­
gear, “ compares somewhat w ith the
life of the owner of it One can run
through either iu a hurry or bang ou
for a loug tim e if it is desired If care­
fully kept, a panama hat should last
all the way from 10 to 40 years. 1
kuow a gentleman who resides iu east
W ashington who lias owned and steadi­
ly worn during tho summer mouths a
panama hut for nearly 40 years. It has
been bleached every couple of years
since aud retrimmed aud relined, aud it
is today to all intents and purposes as
good as when I first saw it 30 years ago
“ I kuow of another panama hat, now
worn by a physician in this city, which
has had almost us loug a life. Long be­
fore be got it his father wore it. 1 kuow
dozens oi them which iiave been in use
from 10 to 20 years. The liuiug wears
out, hut the body of the bat keeps good.
Of course care bas to be used to keep
them such a long time, but the panama
itself is almost indestructible The
original cost of the hats that I refer to
was not exorbitant, none of them cost­
ing over «14.

Foot bridges in Morocco th a t aro used
for heavy traffic have been the subject
oi much concern to the engineers. Elm
plauks ouoak striugpieces were tho m a­
terials employed, but these wore out so
rapidly that a return to the old style of
building was proposed. This consisted
oi cables made from the fiber of tho
aloe. Those cables are plaited aud twist
™ from fiber and aro nearly two inches
thick aud 8
inches wide. They are
saturated w ith tar aud firmly nailed to
oak planking. The ends are fastened by
iron straps. These cables make most ad-
mirahle footpaths They are sufficiently
elastic to be pleasant under the feet
