Dear Sir I have delayed answerinir your letter in
order to send you the enclosed certificate. Mr. Bart
Reeve declines to give a testimonial at present for the
reason that he has been under the treatment of a num
ber of Physicians and thinks that they might not like it
if be were to make the affirmation of the effect your
Mineral Water had upon him. I will describe the case
to you as near as I can : . He had been sick about two
years and an unnatural belt had formed around him
Just below the ribs. He drank your Mineral Water
three or four days and the belt went off in such a way
as to cause his legs and feet to swell, but that soon dis
appeared, and he is now in comfortable health. The
doctors had all given up that he could not get well.
There are a number of persons here who have spoken to
me for some of the water to use iu various casen, and I
would like to use a little myself. I think it is the best

CROSS-EYED . PEOPLE.
The Peculiar Sensitiveness Which Usually
Accompanies the Infirmity.
"You would think that a cross-eyed
person would overcome his sensitive
ness,1' but he seldom does. He broods
orer it. It grows on him.. He imagines
that every one he meets thinks as much
about it as he does, and life loses all at
traction for him. Did you ever notice
across-eyed man walk? No? I can
tell cne as far as I can see him. It im
parts to his gait - a certain movement
peculiar to the whole class of cross
eyed people. But it is not altogether
bashfulness which causes him to avoid
looking a person squarely in the; face.
If he retains the power of sight in each
of his crooked eyes, as is cften . the
case, it would do him no good to look
the ordinary way. He would be very
likely to miss the object altogether.
The lines of his vision would probably
cross a foot or so before the object was
fully comprehended, and all he would
see would be the faint and shadowy
outlines of a pair of ears of the rim of
a hat ; The place where the face ought
to be would be a dismal blank. Many
bright features are ruined by this fear
ful misfortune. Some sensitive victims
neverpluck up courage enough to mar
ry. They often become selfish misan
thropes, grow stingy, and leave a fort
une for a horde of straight-eyed rela
tives who totally ignored them while
they were alive to light over. Others,
with that natural yearning for the love
and svmpathy which are almost uni
versally denied cross-eyed men, take
what they can get in the matrimonial
market. They spring at the very first
chance which offers. Thus often- a
soulful, but cross-eyed, esthetie finds
himself joined to a lbving, but unsym
pathetic, helpmeet, whose ambition
rises above the kitchen and the laundry.
He loses his hopes, descends to the level
of his mate, and what might have been
a talented career is ended on a large
box in front of the corner grocery in re
tailing neighborhood gossip. Occasion
ally you find a man with sufficient
strength of mind to live down the ma
lign effects of strabismus and come out
a victor. When once a man has over
come his diffidence he becomes as bold
as a sewing-machine agent. When he
is courageous enough to look a woman
obliquely in the face without stammer
ing an apology for having been born
he can fairly le said to be superior to
his misfortune.- Such a man would
make a heroic soldier. Unfortunately,
there are few who can do this. The
ordinary man melts under the affliction
like a cake of ice in a July su . ": N.
Y. ' Commercial Advertiser:
AN OLD TRICK REVIVED.
The Way Some People Make Six Bank
Notes Oat of Five. : 1
There is an old swindling device
which consists in cutting bank notes
into strips and then, in putting them
together, save enough from each to make
an additional note. This ingewous pro
cess, technically known as "sweating,"
has been applied to the United States
silver certificates.
The discovery was made yesterday at
the Sub-Treasury by Mr. Marlor, who
has charge of that department, A batch
of ten-dollar certificates was received
from a Wall street bank Friday and
was redeemed. Yesterday it was found
that several of the notes which, on a
cursory handling, appeared to have been
accidentally torn ana afterward pasted
together, had in reality been subjected
to the "sweating"' process above al
luded to.
The law permits the Treasury Depart
ment to redeem a mutilated bill at its
face value if threerfifths of it r ;main.
The sharpers have taken advantage of
this law. The certificates were first cut
to five pieces, and then, by taking one
piece from five different certificates, a
sixth certificate was made. Thus the
five genuine certificates would each
lack one-fifth, but the sixth or bogus
certificate would apparently have enough
pieces pasted together to make it com
plete. All the certificates were there
fore, until the trick was discovered, re
deemable at their face value. Unfortu
nately for the swindler the ten dollar
certificates have the numbers of each
engraved in various places on the note
in "very small figures. Of course the
doctored notes were made of fragments
containing numbers which did not cor
respond. It was this discovery which
exposed the fraud. N. Y. Herald
DOCTORED HIM.
The
Pseudo Physicians Who Were Mis
taken In Their Diagnoses.
"Were you ever taken sick put in the
country?' inquired a well-known at
torney on Saturday afternoon while
himself and three or four friends were
indulging in the wild recreation of tell
ing stories. V
They all frankly admitted that they
had never become so reckless as would
be indicated by an affirmative answer.
"Well, I've been there. Not long
after I was admitted to the bar, a client
of mine about the only one I had at
the time employed me to go up into
the country to look up the, title to some
land about which there was some dis
pute. I was stopping at a country ho
tel, and one day I was taken sick
pains in the head and high fever.
There was no doctor in the place, and
the landlord brought in three or fonr
old women whom he declared knew
more about sickness than any doctor
did.
"One of them said I had taken cold,
and she stuck my feet in a tub of hot
water, and kept pouring in- more from
a teakettle until my feet were par
boiled. Then she slapped a big
mustard poultice on my chest, filled
me up with' catnip tea, and put me to.
bed, with a hot fiatiron at my feet and
a bottle of hot water on each side of
me. Then i she smothered me with
blankets and went away.l 4
"After , she had gone another one
went for me. She said I had got the
fever and ague, and chucked a lot of
quinine down my throat
"A third said I had tvphoid fever.
and she swaddled my head up in cloths
soaked with cold water, and gave me a

MIXED METAPHORS.
The Lndlcroas Ideas Which Follow the
. Unskillful Use or Khetorloal Fig ares.
The examples of confusion of meta
phor ascribed to the late Lord Castle
reagh are so absurd that it might have
beea thought impossible to rival them.
Nevertheless, the following, though in
somewhat quieter style, seemed to me
to approach very nearly to the best of
those that were spoken by Castlereagh
or forged for him by Mackintosh. A
recent Cabinet Minister described the
error of an Indian official in these
words: "He remained too long under
the influence of the views which he had
imbibed from the board." To imbibe
a view seems strange, but to imbibe
anything from a board seems to be very
dillieult I mav ohsprvfl t.rir triATriroca
of Castlereagh, whica-Tis 'now best"
known, seems to suffer fronTmis quota
tion; we usually have "an ignorant im
patience of taxation," but the original
form appears to have been "an ignorant
impatience of the relaxation of taxa
tion." v !:-..;..
The following sentence is from a vol
uminous historian: "The decline of the
material comforts of the workinw rl rssau
from the effects of the revolution, had
been incessant and had now reached
an alarming height" It Is possible to
ascend to an alarming height but it is
surely difficult to decline to an alarm
ing height "Nothing could be more
one-sided than the oointof view adrmtfld
by the speakers." It is very strange to
speak of a point as having a side, and
then how can "one sided", admit of
comparison? A thing has either one
sine or unas not; mere can not bo de
grees in one-sldedness. However, even
mathematicians do not always manage
the word point correctly. In a modern
valuable work we read of "a mvre ex
tended oointof view." thono-h we know
that a point does not admit of exten
sion. This curious phrase is also to ba
found in two eminent French! writers
Baillv and d'Alembert I imrmose that
what is meant is a point which com
mands a more extended view. "Frnsiv

?ine most scienunc ot our continental
theologians have returned back again

Then "returned back again1; seems to
involve superfluity: either, returned or
turned back again would h ive been
better. A large school had lately fallen '
into difficulties, owing to internal dis
sensions. , In the report of a council on
the subieci it was stated that measuros

CIRCUS NOVELTIES HIRED OUT.
Sleek Horses, Lions and Other Animals
That Make ; Up the Required Perform- .
t has always been a puzzle to the
circus-goer hew such mammoth shows as
Barnum's and others can be maintained v
all the year round. When one reads of
any person having so large a racing
stud or collection of. wild animals that
even the transportation from distant
lands costs a small fortune, he marvels
at the outlay required not only to pur
chase but to maintain such j retinue.
Barnum's show when it visits the me
tropolis, has ; at least a dozen of the
finest race-horses and hunters,' and the '
general belief is that the sleek and!
cet-footed animals belong to the great
showman. Such, however, does not
appear to be the fact , A reporter for
the Mail and Express recently met one
of the members of the largest import
ing firms ' in the country of wild ani
mals, birds, and in fact of all kinds of
eurios'tics. Referring to the matter he
said:
"The race horses Barnum exhibits in
