WHAT II i RAYS OF HIS COMING FIGHT
WITH FiTZSniMONS.
(From the St. Louis, Mu., Chronicle.)
Jus. .1. Corbeifs history as a ring htro
will reach the end of the chapter when
his battle with Bob Filz-iimiuous is won
and lost, for as the world knows, Corbett
is matched to flu! it Fitzsimmotis before
the Florida Athletic Club within a year,
for Sol 001, the largest amount in Btake
and purse ever hnntt up on R paseairc-at-arms
nff.iir since pnuiliem was promnl
irated in England 170 years ajro. The
Sporting World, yes the entire English
sppakintf world knows Corbet t's brilliant
record as a fiahter without even a resume
of it beie. Corbett, attired iu a frock
coat of the period, his eternal pine bat
for he always wears n tile of silk and
shod in patent leathers, sat in his apart
ments in the Southern Hotel at St. Louis,
the other day, and delivered himself of
a few opinions regarding his coming
Built with Bob Filziimmoiis.
"I am fully aware that Fitz will give
me perhaps the matt ecientiflo battle of

than the average pugilist, who doesn't
depend on his awkwaroness. He is a
hard hitter and cool headed. Isnw trim

style, tie is my equal almost in height
and reach, though after carefully com
paring his method of boxing with mine,
I cau't fee where he has any advantage
over me, as I am younger, stronger und
ihiftier, hit ol'tenrr nnd mix my blows
more. Fitzsinimnns is foxy lie was
cite enough to feign grogginess in
several of his battles, thus throwing his
opponents off their guard, lie can't fool
me by working the groggy dodge, I
will take no chances with him. I think
can whip him within fifteen rounds.
Alter my fight wilb Fitzsimraons I will
devote my entire attention to tny theatri
mil enterprises and retire permanently
from the prize ring. I have 800,000
invested m the spectaoular drama ; "The

When a distinguished man like M.
Orevy refuses to tell his age, surely or
dinary women may be excused for so
purely feminine weakness. l!y this sub
terfuge the president misled his country
men into believing him to be six years
yolmger than he was, according to an
anecdote, as follows: "M. Grevy was al
ways very reluctant to tell his age and
openly admitted that reluctance. At a
dinner party given by one of his
friends in the future president of
the republic said, with a smile: 'Peo
ple may try as much as they like, they
will never know my real age.' And,
in fact, when M. Herold, who was some
time a minister of the third. republic,
endeavored to obtain definite particu
lars of M. Grevy'sage for a new edition
of 'Vapereau,' M. Grevy persistently re
fused to supply them. 'The archives
of Mountsous-Vaudrey were burnt in
1813,' he said, 'and you must do the
best you can. You'll get no informa
tion from me.' As a consequence, all
M. Grevy's biographers gave the year
1813 as that of his birth, while in real
ity he was born in 1807."
Exposure to rough weather, dampneen,
extreme cold, etc., is apt to bring on an
attaok of rheumatism or Deuralgia;
chapped bands and face, cracked lips
and violent itohing of the skin also owe
their origin to cold weather. Dr. J. H.
MoLean's Voloanic Oil Liniment should
be kept on band at all times for im
mediate application when troubles of this
nature appear. It is a sovereign
remedy. 25o, 50o and $1.00 per bottle.

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 furmice, 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 burns with a down 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 feul
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 heat a large house. In
fact the only fault that is found with
Corean house-heating is that it is too
cifectivc, 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.

CURIOSITIES OF PLANT LIFE.
Trees Thi' s. Distill Water, Furnish Light,
1 '"a ja.CoJor, and CaU'l) FUb.
On life Miliary Isla,nd grows a foun
tain tree, a tree most needed in some
parts of the island, says fh San Jose
(Cnl.) Mercury It is said tha.t.. the
leaves constantly distill enough watex
tu luruina ui mil iaj cvuij living itv-
turo in Illero, nature having provided
this remedy for the drought of the
island. Every morning, near this part
of the island, a cloud or mist arises
from the sea, which the winds force
against the steep cliff on which the
tree grows, and It is from the mist that
the tree distills the water.
China, too, cluims her remarkable
tree. This is known as the tallow tree,
so called from the fact of its producing
a substance like lallovv, and which
serves the same purpose, is of the same
consistency, color nnd smell. On the
island of Lewchew grows a tree about
the size of a common cherry tree, which
possesses the peculiarity of changing
the color of its blossoms. At one time
the flower assumes the tint of the lily,
and again shortly takes the color of the
rose. In Thibet there is a curious tree
known as the tree of the thousand im
ages; its leaves are covered with well
defined characters of the Thibetan
alphabet. It is of great age and the
only one of its kind known there.
The cuobn b tree is considered one of
the most wonderful of the vegetable
kingdom. It appears that nothing can
kill this tree; hence it reaches an
astonishing age as well as enormous
size. Tho natives make a strong cord
from the fibers of the bark; hence the
trees are continually barked, but
without dumage, as they soon put forth
a new bark. It seems impervious to
fire and even the ax is resisted, as It
continues to grow In leng-th while it Is
lying on the ground.
In Mexico there is a plant known by
the name of Palo de Leche. It be
longs to the family of euphorbia. The
Indians throw the leaves into the water
and the fish become stupefied and rise
to the surface and are then caught by
the natives. In this case the effect of
the nnrcoctic soon passes off. The
milk of this plnut thrown upon the fire
gives out fumes that produce nausea
and headache. The milk taken inter
nally is a deadly poison; it will pro
duce death or insanity according to the
size of the doze. There is a popular
belief among the lower class in Mexico
that the insanity of the ex-Empress
farlotta was caused bv this poison.
Colds, doughs, bronchitis, and all
throat and lung diseases are effectively
treated with Ayer's Oberry reetoral. To
nenleet tbe use of prooer remedies for
these ailments, is to induce consnmption,
which is said to cause one sixth of tbe
mortality in nil eiyilized countries.

EVEN THE KING
Had to Make a Return Like Common
Cltlien.
Of all the extraordinary communica
tions that have ever reached King
Humbert since he ascended to the
throne, says a Rome letter, one
which he received the other day for the
purpose of inquiring in all seriousness
whether he could read or write was
perhaps the most extraordinary. And,
to make matters worse, he was in
formed that he was required to give
proof that he possessed a certain
amount of education to do so. The let
ter in question was not the work of
some irresponsible crank, but was a
full-fledged communication bearing the
signature of the burgomaster, or
mayor, of the little town of Kheme
Notre Dame, in Piedmont, where King
Humbert happened to own some landed
property.
As a land owner of the district the
name of the king figures on the elec
toral register, and every citizen, be
fore he is permitted to cast his vote, is
obliged to furnish satisfactory evidence
that he can read and write. Of course
King Humbert has complied with the
demands of the burgomaster, and has
set an example to his subjects by per

such an incident could occur, since in
other monarchical countries, particu

prince of the blood are subjected to
the same restrictions as the peers of
the realm, and are debarred from cast
ing votes at the polls for the lower
house of the legislature, the theory
being that, possessing by virtue of
their birth seats iu the house of lords,
it is not proper that they should in any

the man laid by his red paint pot and
brought forth a green instead.
What would the next word be?
The crowd grew so excited they called
to the man: "What is it?" "Tell us."
"Go on." "Hurry." "Paint quick if
you won't talk," until it seemed he
might grow too bothered to print any
thing. l)ut he did.
He printed out in small green letters,

it read: "My single aim is to sell at a

FOR INVENTIONS.
Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government i
that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because
of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their
patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli.
able solicitor?, to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not
entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney.
With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys,
and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re
taincd counsel expert in patent practice, and therefore are prepared to
Obtain Patents in the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct In
tcrferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases,
Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to
Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and
Defend Infringement Suits, Etc., Etc.
If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, to
gether with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at one
o,l,Mori ..- lo me btat course to pursue. Models are seldom necessary. II
others are infringing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by
others, submit the matter to u? for a reliable OPINION before acting on the
matter.
