ROMANCE FROM A PACKING-HOUSE Story of Two Fond Hearts Which Waits Itself Over the Hills from San Bernardino. Miss Stella Bisbee, an Ontario girl, figures in a pretty romance which came about as the result of a little note tucked away with a box of oranges, which was shipped from her father's packing-house to New York in November two years ago. While wandering through her father's large packing-house one day, in company with several girl friends, in a girlish prank she slipped a small piece of paper containing her name and address into a box of oranges being packed for shipment, little thinking at the same time that it should figure in the shaping of her future life, and never gave the matter another thought until she received a note from her young cavallier not very long afterwards. The box of oranges containing the little slip was consigned to New York, and in due course of time found its way into the large wholesale fruit establishment of Cleveland & Post of that city. In the employ of the firm was Howard M. Smith, the hero of the romance, and into his hands fell the fateful slip. In the spirit of fun, inspired by a love of adventure, a note was penned and mailed to the address. This was answered, and then began the correspondence which continued regularly and ripened into a strong bond of friendship, although they had never met, and little dreamed of when or under what circumstances they would meet, if ever. After a while photographs were exchanged, and the bond of friendship grew stronger. It was about this time that young Smith was surprised by receiving a letter from the girl's father. In which he said he had heard a great deal of him and had read a few of his letters, and concluded he liked the young man's style, and held out inducements for him to come to California. This decided Smith, and he left New York State early in 1901, and worked his way across the continent, for he does not boast a bank account. He went to Santa Barbara, where he soon secured a remunerative position. On the first day of January last he obtained a few days' leave of absence and boarded a train for Ontario. There beneath semi-tropic skies and surrounded by orange groves and roses, Hau's Tribute to McKinley Continued from First page. responded to the new stimulus and American trade set out on its new crusade, not to conquer the world, but to trade with it on terms advantageous to all concerned. I will not weary you with statistics, but one or two words seem necessary to show how the acts of McKinley as President kept pace with his professions as candidate. His four years of administration were costly; we carried on a war which, though brief, was expensive. Although we borrowed $200,000,000 and paid our own expenses without asking for indemnity, the effective reduction of the debt now exceeds the total of the war bonds. We pay $6,000,000 less in interest than we did before the war and no bond of the United States yields the holder 2 per cent, on its market value. So much for the Government credit; and we have $546,-000,000 of gross gold in the treasury. "But, coming to the development of our trade in the four McKinley years, we seem to be entering the realm of fable. In the last fiscal year our excess of exports over imports was $664,-592,826. In the last four years it was $2,354,442,213. These figures are so stupendous that they mean little to a careless reader—but consider! The excess of exports over imports for the whole preceding period from 1790 to 1897—from Washington to McKinley—was only $356,808,822. "The most extravagant promises made by the sanguine McKinley advocates five years ago are left out of sight by these sober facts. The debtor nation has become the chief creditor nation. The financial centre of the world, which required thousands of years to journey from the Euphrates to the Thames and the Seine, seems passing to the Hudson between daybreak and dark. "I will not waste your time by explaining that I do not invoke for any man the credit of this vast result. The captain can not claim that it is he who drives the mighty steamship over the tumbling billows of the trackless deep; but praise is justly due him if he has made the best of her tremendous powers, if he has read aright the currents of the sea and the lessons of the stars. And we should be ungrateful if in this hour of prodigious prosperity we should fail to remember that William McKinley with sublime faith foresaw it, with passed. The expansion of our land and commerce is the pressing problem of goodwill and friendly relations will prevent reprisals; procity treaties are in harm; the spirit of the times; measure taliation are not." "I wish I had time to read that of this wise and weighty speech I might say could give such sure of the President's mind an act. His years of apprentices been served. He stood that master of the art of statesmanship had nothing more to ask of them. He owed them nothing but their faithful service. His mind and were purged of the temptation beset all men engaged in their survival. In view of the reason of his nature vouchsafied to us and the fate which impended on us we can only say in deep affect solemn awe: 'Blessed are thy heart, for they shall see God for that vision he was not unworthy." MCKINLEY THE HERO "He had not long to wait.

This decided Smith, and he left New York State early in 1901, and worked his way across the continent, for he does not boast a bank account. He went to Santa Barbara, where he soon secured a remunerative position. On the first day of January last he obtained a few days' leave of absence and boarded a train for Ontario. There beneath semi-tropic skies and surrounded by orange groves and roses, the young people met for the first time. Through the correspondence lasting over two years the young people became quite thoroughly acquainted, and on their meeting it was a case of love at first sight. Throughout the week of his stay in Ontario they were continually together, and the old, old story of love—old, yet ever new—was retold, and their troths were plighted. Miss Stella Bisbee is a winsome girl of 20 summers and the daughter of Aaron Bisbee, a wealthy orange grower of Ontario. She is one of the leading belles of Ontario society, and had admirers by the score, but it remained for Howard Smith, a poor boy with his way in the world yet to make, to win the heart of the fair malden. Smith is a young man of 22 years of age and the son of Frank Smith, a well-known chef of New York. Most of his life was spent in New York city and for some time he was connected with the circulation department of a large newspaper there, and later was employed by a wholesale fruit firm with whom he remained until he came to California.—San Bernardino Times-Index.

Soiled and faded, torn and frayed, a letter written by Abraham Lincoln a few months before his assassination has been found in some rubbish and papers on Broadway, New York, near the postoffice. It reads as follows: EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington, Nov. 21, 1864. To Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Mass.: I have been shown in the file of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the republic that they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave only the cherished memory of love and lost and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. The President saw it was time to speak, and in his characteristic manner he spoke, briefly, but enough. Where the lightning strikes there is no need of iteration. From that hour no one dreamed of doubting his purpose of retiring at the end of his second term, and it will be long before another such lesson is required. "I will not waste your time by explaining that I do not invoke for any man the credit of this vast result. The captain can not claim that it is he who drives the mighty steamship over the tumbling billows of the trackless deep; but praise is justly due him if he has made the best of her tremendous powers; if he has read aright the currents of the sea and the lessons of the stars. And we should be ungrateful if in this hour of prodigious prosperity we should fail to remember that William McKinley with sublime faith foresaw it, with indomitable courage labored for it, put his whole heart and mind into the work of bringing it about; that it was his voice which, in the dark hours, rang out, heralding the coming light, as over the twilight waters of the Nile the mystic cry of Memnon announced the dawn to Egypt, waking from sleep. M'KINLEY THE HARMONIZER. "Among the most agreeable incidents of the President's term of office were the two journeys he made to the South. The moral reunion of the sections—so long and so ardently desired by him—had been initiated by the Spanish war, when the veterans both sides, and their sons, had marched shoulder to shoulder together under the same banner. The President in these journeys sought, with more than usual eloquence and pathos, to create a sentiment which should end forever the ancient feud. He was too good politician to expect any results in the way of votes in his favor, and he accomplished none. But for all that the good seed did not fall on barren ground. In the warm and chivalrous hearts of that generous people, the echo of his cordial and brotherly words will linger long, and his name will be cherished in many a household where even yet the lost cause is worshipped. "Mr. McKinley was reelected by an overwhelming majority. There had been little doubt of the result among well-informed people; but when it was known, a profound feeling of relief and renewal of trust were evident among the leaders of capital and of industry not only in this country, but everywhere. They felt that the immediate future was secure, and that trade and commerce might safely push forward in every field of effort and enterprise. He inspired universal confidence which is the lifeblood of the commercial system of the world. It began frequently to be said that such a state of things ought to continue; one after another, men of prominence said that the President was his own best successor. He paid little attention to these suggestions until they were repeated by some of his nearest friends. Then he saw that one of the most cherished traditions of our public life was in danger. The President saw it was time to speak, and in his characteristic manner he spoke, briefly, but enough. Where the lightning strikes there is no need of iteration. From that hour no one dreamed of doubting his purpose of retiring at the end of his second term, and it will be long before another such expression of a nature pure that pride in its nobility softened and enhanced the sense of loss. The republic over such a son—but is proof of having produced him. As spite of its tragic ending, he extraordinarily happy.

I had consumption so bad that if I walked a block I would cough frightfully and spit blood, but when all other medicines failed three $1 bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery wholly cured me and I gained 58 pounds."

Lowry of Santa Ana is going back to Texas and promises to return in the near future with two carloads of Lone Star tourists who are coming to make Orange county their future home. The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce will furnish him 500 illustrated circula­ars descriptive of this section, and these he undertakes to distribute among his former neighbors. The Santa Ana people will meet the tourists at the train, give them a reception and drive them about the country. Lowry expects to bring out several hundred Texas families who will permanently settle in this county. The Excitement Not Over. The rush at the drug store still continues, and daily scores of people call for a bottle of Kemp's Balsam for the Throat and Lungs for the cure of coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis and consumption. Kemp's Balsam, the standard family remedy, is sold on a guarantee and never fails to give entire satisfaction. Price 25c and 35c. For sale by W. P. Turner, druggist. In that mood of high hope, of generous expectation, he went to Buffalo and there, on the threshold of eternity, he delivered that memorable speech, worthy for its loftiness of tone, its blameless morality, its breadth of view, to be regarded as his testament to the nation. Through all his pride of country and his joy of its success runs the note of solemn warning, as in Kipling's noble hymn, "Lest We Forget." "Our capacity to produce has developed so enormously and our products have so multiplied that the problem of more markets requires our urgent and immediate attention. Only a broad and enlightened policy will keep what we have. No other policy will get more. In these times of marvelous business energy and gain we ought to be looking to the future, strengthening the weak places in our industrial and commercial systems, that we may be ready for any storm or strain. "By sensible trade arrangements which will not interrupt our home production we shall extend the outlets for our increasing surplus. A system which provides a mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential to the continued and healthful growth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing. "If such a thing were possible, it would not be best for us or for those with whom we deal.* Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth of our wonderful industrial development under the domestic policy now firmly established.* The period of exclusiveness is..."

Forming in combination Medicine par excellence strength in purifying shown by unequalled, rmanent eures of Scrofula Scald Head All Kinds of Humor Blood Poisoning Catarrh Accept no substitute; get Hood's, and get it t The expansion of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of goodwill and friendly relations will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the times; measures of retaliation are not. I wish I had time to read the whole this wise and weighty speech; nothing I might say could give such a picture of the President's mind and character. His years of apprenticeship had been served. He stood that day past master of the art of statesmanship. He had nothing more to ask of the people. He owed them nothing but truth and faithful service. His mind and heart were purged of the temptations which beset all men engaged in the struggle to survive. In view of the revelation of his nature vouchsafed to us that day, and the fate which impended over him, he can only say in deep affection and concern awe: 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.' Even for that vision he was not unworthy. MCKINLEY THE HEROIC. "He had not long to wait. The next day sped the bolt of doom, and for a week after—in an agony of dread, broken by illusive glimpses of hope that our prayers might be answered—the nation waited for the end. Nothing in the glorious life that we saw gradually waning was more admirable and exemplary than its close. The gentle humanity of his words when he saw his assailant in danger of summary vengeance, 'Don't let them hurt him,' his chivalrous care that the news should be broken gently to his wife; the fine courtesy with which he apologized for the damage which his death would bring to the great exposition; and the heroic resignation of his final words, 'It is God's way'; His will, notours, be done,' were all the instinctive expressions of a nature so lofty and so pure that pride in its nobility at once softened and enhanced the nation's sense of loss. The republic grieved over such a son—but is proud forever of having produced him. After all, in spite of its tragic ending, his life was extraordinarily happy. He had, all his days, troops of friends, the cheer of fame and fruitful labor; and he became at last, On fortune's crowning slope. The pillar of a people's hope. The center of a world's desire. "There is not one of us but feels proud of his native land because the august figure of Washington presided over." WELL BROKEN HORSES. The Silent Man Generally Has the Most Manageable Animals. Has any one ever noticed that a silent man has usually the best broken horses? It may not be true, but all the men of my acquaintance who do not talk much have well broken horses. Drive with them, and you will wonder how they manage their horses. No management is visible. The horse goes where he is wanted without apparent effort on the part of the driver. One famous turfman at least has been noted for his art in driving a horse to the limit of his speed without making a move while his rivals were lifting and yelling and whipping theirs. How did he do it? Don't know, but he was a man of few words. Probably there is a lesson in this. The average horse understands only a few things thoroughly, only a few words, signs or commands. The silent man gives only a few, and he does not confuse his horse. The horse is made to know them thoroughly. He understands the man who understands him. It is a pleasure to drive a horse that understands. Few pleasures in life can equal it if the horse is a good, cheerful driver. There would be more of this kind if they were made to know a few things thoroughly—the right things.—National Stockman. How Sousa Got His Name. When Sousa, famous the world over as king of march music, landed in the "home of the free," he carried with him a vallse on which was marked in plain letters "John Philipso, U. S. A." Time passed, and this son of sunny immortalized to grow musical and also to become Americanized. It was then, so the story goes, that he expressed the desire for a name more nearly like those of the people of which he was one by choice. Philipso sounded out of place doing service for a man who had imbibed American beliefs and customs and whose destiny was closely linked with "the stars and stripes forever." A member of the band to which he belonged finally made a suggestion. It turned out to be a happy one and was adopted by the master of the baton. The suggestion was this: To the name Philipso add U. S. A. Divide the one name into two words, and there was the smooth sounding and easily pronounced name of John Philip Sousa.—Philadelphia Telegraph. When Kissing Was Costly. The case of the People against Murline heard by the governor of New York FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Annaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. THE BAMBOO HOME A Slow but Sure Poison Thief by the Javanese. The young shoots of the bamboo covered with a number of hairs that are seen under its scope to be hollow and spike onets. These hairs are common bamboo poison by the white dent in Java for the reason is frequently committed their agency. When a Javanese woman fancy to a European, according official Dutch report, she have him or poison him if chance. She seeks any opportunity of mixing these hairs among his food, and the purpose of irritating length of the alimentary cavity taking up malignant dysentery take a long time and make this so called poison to efface, but the native women tire, and death will surely male native will also try off revenge for an affront. The planters know all that the bamboo hair, but it is cultu to determine whether it is caused by the point about naturally.

Consolidation What is virtually a consolidation of the electric lighting and power companies of Southern California was effected in the organization of the Pacific Light and Power company, which incorporated in Los Angeles a few days ago with a capital stock of $10,000,000. The incorporators are Henry E. Huntington, I. W. Hellman, A. Borel, Chas de Guligne of San Francisco; William Kerckhoff, Kaspare Cohn and H. W. O'Melveny. The purpose of the organization, as stated in the articles of incorporation, is to manufacture, produce, generate and otherwise obtain electrical energy for light, heat and power, and to supply towns, cities, etc., and to sell gas and water for power and irrigation and domestic purposes. The new company will operate in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California generally. It is an expansion of the San Gabriel Electric company, whose operations will extend into the Kern River country. A Printer Greatly Surprised "I never was so surprised in my life as I was with the results of using Chamberlain's Pain Balm," says Henry T. Crook, pressman of the Asheville (N. C.) Gazette. "I contracted a severe case of rheumatism early last winter by getting my feet wet. I tried several things for it without benefit. One day, while looking over the Gazette, I noticed that Pain Balm was positively guaranteed to cure rheumatism, so bought a bottle of it, and before taking its flight, and I have not had rheumatic pain since."

The case of the People against Murline, heard by the governor of New Haven colony in council on May day, 1600, indicates the attitude toward unlicensed kissing in those times. It appeared that Jacob Murline and Sarah Tuttle had been caught kissing each other. Jacob tried to throw the blame on Sarah, saying he thought she had "with intent let fall her gloves." Sarah denied the intent. Jacob then admitted that he "took her by the hand, and they both sat down upon a chest, but whether he kyssed her or she kyssed him he knows not, for he never thought of it since until Mr. Raymond told him that he had not layde it to heart as he ought." The stern governor, after duly lecturing the guilty parties on the enormity of their offense, decreed that "the sentence therefore concerning them is that they shall pay either of them a fine of 20 shillings to the colony." Bereavement and Business. The following curious advertisement is taken from a Spanish journal: "This morning our Saviour summoned away the jeweler, Siebold Illmaga, from his shop to another and better world. The undersigned, his widow, will weep up on his tomb, as will also his two daughters, Hild and Emma, the former of whom is married, and the latter is open to an offer. The funeral will take place tomorrow. His disconsolate widow, Veronique Illmaga, P.

How the Peach Was Produced. That the luscious peach has been derived from the hard shell has been successfully denied. It is said that the peach in its original soil was a virulent poison and that the Persian warriors brought to Persia some of the seeds and planted them for the purpose of poisoning the points of their arrows so as to render wounds caused by them to be fatal, but a change of climate and soil produced a fruit which is not only luscious, but is esteemed exceedingly healthful. The Building of a Life. Life is a building. It rises slowly day by day through the years. Every new lesson we learn lays a block on the edifice which is rising silently within us. Every influence that impresses us, every book we read, every conversation we have, every act of our commonest days, adds something to the invisible building—J. R. Miller. THE POISE Of a woman in perfect health attracts the eye at once. Such a woman is all too rarely seen. The most of women bear scars of suffering on their faces which no smiles can hide, and often in their very carriage betray the womanly weakness which oppresses them. There can be no perfect health for the woman who suffers from disease of the delicate womanly organism. Her general health is so intimately related to the local health of the womanly organs that these must be cured before the general health can be established. Dr. Pierce's favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It cures womanly disorders and diseases; brightens the dull eye, rounds out the hollow cheek and gives strength for wisely duties and maternal care.

Life is a building. It rises slowly day by day through the years. Every new lesson we learn lays a block on the edifice which is rising silently within us. Every influence that impresses us, every book we read, every conversation we have, every act of our commonest days, adds something to the invisible building—J. R. Miller. Not Put Out. I was not successful in the attempt to eject the cook from my house. But what nettled me was the unruffled demeanor of the woman. "You might at least have the good breeding to act 'put out,'" I cried and left the kitchen, slamming the door behind me.—Puck. The Forbearing Dog. "A good dog is the best friend a man can have," remarked the tobaccoist to the wooden Indian. "When you get sick, he doesn't tell you what to take and when you get well he doesn't tell you how much worse he had the same disease."—Syracuse Herald.

A few Words Pain-Kille Two Sizes, There is only one Pain-Kille THE BAMBOO HAIR. A Slow but Sure Poison That Is Used by the Javanese. The young shoots of the bamboo are covered with a number of very fine hairs that are seen under the microscope to be hollow and spiked like bayonets. These hairs are commonly called bamboo poison by the white men resident in Java for the reason that murder is frequently committed through their agency. When a Javanese woman takes a fancy to a European, according to an official Dutch report, she will either have him or poison him if she gets the chance. She seeks any and every opportunity of mixing these infinitesimal hairs among his food, and they serve the purpose of irritating the whole length of the alimentary canal and setting up malignant dysentery. It may take a long time and many doses of this so called poison to effect the purpose, but the native woman does not tire, and death will surely result. The male native will also try this method of revenge for an affront. The planters know all this and dread the bamboo hair, but it is always difficult to determine whether the dysentery is caused by the poison or comes about naturally. When a planter finds himself a prey to attacks of that complaint, his best course is to take a voyage to Europe.—Pearson's. Assorted Voices. It is a well known fact that voices differ greatly according to nationality and geographical position. Thus, in Russia one hears male voices which are absolutely unique in the lowness of their compass. The Italians, on the other hand, are notable for their fine tenor voices. Some Asiatic nations, according to Engel, sing in shrill notes by straining the voice to its highest pitch. Others delight in a kind of vibrato or tremolando. Some sing habitually in an undertone, others in a nasal tone. Lichtenstein, in describing the singing of a Hottentot congregation in South Africa, observes that among all the singers, consisting of about 100 Hottentots of both sexes, there was not one man with a bass or baritone voice. All the men had tenor voices. The Chinese voices seem to bear some resemblance to the weak character of the people. A military man who had three years' service in the country declares that he never once heard a Chinaman sing from his chest.—Gentleman's Magazine. The Laird's Last Drink. The remark of counsel in a will case that there were two peaks of work in the house and out doors too. I am sorry I did not take Dr. Pierce's medicine when I first began to have poor health. I could have saved what I paid to humbugs. My friends say that I do not look like the same woman. When I commenced your medicine I only weighed one hundred pounds. Now I weigh one hundred and forty. I thank you a thousand times for your good medicine and your kind advice. I used four bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' four of 'Favorite Prescription' and two vials of your 'Pleasant Pellets.'" WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE between experiment and experience in treating womanly diseases? The difference between success and failure. The difference between health and sickness, happiness and misery. The reason that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures so many women is that it is a medicine which is the product of years of experience in the treatment and cure of womanly diseases. It is a medicine made to do certain things and it does what it is made to do. Every woman understands the fine points of this difference between experiment and experience. When the housewife engages a cook she demands experience. She does not want a cook who is experimenting with unfamiliar recipes. The inexperienced man might say—Why, there's the cook book. It tells how to make anything. All you've got to do is to measure and mix as it instructs and you can't come out wrong. Can't you? The wife knows very much better than that. Given the best recipe in the world it takes experience to make a success of it. The difference between the success of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription and the failure of other medicines is the difference of experience. It is no experiment to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of womanly ills. Experience—the experience of hundreds of thousands of women proclaims that it makes weak women strong and sick women well. Thousands of grateful letters have been written to Dr. Pierce. They cover cures of every form of womanly disease which is medically curable. They show that "Favorite Prescription" is a perfect regulator, that it dries enfeebling drains; that it heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. They prove "Favorite Prescription" is the best preparative for maternity; that it keeps the mother strong and healthy and makes the baby's advent practically painless. Sick and allying women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All Lichtenstein, in describing the singing of a Hottentot congregation in South Africa, observes that among all the singers, consisting of about 100 Hottentots of both sexes, there was not one man with a bass or baritone voice.

The remark of counsel in a will case the other day that there were two peculiarities about highlanders, their great devotion to the national drink and their power of absorbing whisky without apparently getting the worse for it, recalls the old story of how the laird of Garscadden took his last draft. A considerable number of lairds had congregated in the clachan of law for the ostensible purpose of talking over some parish business. They talked well and drank still better, and one of them about the dawn of the morning, fixing his eye on Garscadden, remarked that he was "looking unco gash" (very ghstly). Upon which the laird of Kilmardinny coolly replied: "He has been wi' his Maker these two hours! I saw him step awa', but I didaa like to disturb guild company!"—London Chronicle. Benevolent. There was not long since a venerable and benevolent judge in Paris who at the moment of passing sentence on a prisoner consulted his associates on each side of him as to the proper penalty to be inflicted. "What ought we give this rascal, brother?" he said, bending over to the one upon his right. "I should say three years." "What is your opinion, brother?" to the other on his left. "I should give him about four years." The judge (with benevolence) Prisoner, not desiring to give you a long and severe term of imprisonment as I should have done if left to myself. I have consulted my learned brothers, and I shall take their advice. Seven years! New York's Tall Men. Why are there so many very tall men in New York? is a question often asked by visitors to the city. The peculiarity is so patent that it very soon forces itself on the attention of every casual observer. The men are not the ordinarily tall men of six feet or so that one sees quite as many of in Pittsburgh or Chicago as you do in New York, but the men whose heads rise up noticeably out of the crowd wherever they are. What brings them here or what grows them here are questions. They are so plentiful that one can scarcely walk a block down town without meeting several.—New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch. The Earth's Motion. A public demonstration of the earth's rotary motion is given every Sunday in the building that was formerly the church of the Conservatoire in Paris. A large pendulum hung as high as possible swings with a sweep of about sixty feet. The plane of oscillation remains absolutely invariable in space, and the displacement produced by the rotation of the earth is so regular that perhaps the difference between the "doctoring" of experiment and experience cannot be better shown than in the following statement: "For seven years I was confined to bed most of the time," writes Mrs. M.P. Davis, of Honaker, Russell Co., Va. "I had four doctors and they said I could not be cured. I had ulceration of uterus and female weakness, so I could not stand on my feet but a short time; had bearing-down sensation, pain in the small of my back. My stomach and bowels, also legs and feet would swell, and everything I ate hurt me. I could not sleep well, was so short of breath I could not lie down at night; had soreness and tenderness over uterus, tumbled with palpitation of heart, and suffered with headache all the time. I would get blind and have fainting spells, had dark rings around my eyes and my eyes seemed bloodshot; suffered from painful periods; could not lie on my left side. I would have numb spells, pains around my heart every morning, my lungs hurt me a great deal and my shoulders too. I would spit up blood at times, memory was poor, hearing was bad, hands and feet were cold all the time, and I had chills and night-sweats. After the doctors said I could not be cured I got hold of one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum Books and read how he had cured so many patients afflicted like I was so I thought his medicine might help me. I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice and he sent me a very encouraging letter in reply, advising me to take his 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets.' I got two bottles and used these and felt much better. I sent and got six bottles more. I can now work all day and not feel tired at night. I can sleep all night and can eat anything I want at any time. I can walk and go anywhere I please. I feel better than I ever did.

ALL CASES OF DEAFNESS OR HARD HEARING ARE NOW CURABLE by our new invention. Only those born deaf are incurable. HEAD NOISES GEASE IMEDIATELY. F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Gentlemen: — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only all operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
