Dr. Porter of Kentucky Tell* Ilo-ir It wu» l)ouc. (From the Ml. Sterlim/. Ky., (foz He.)

Twenty years ago. while livinir in Morgan county and practicing my profusion. I Lad a terrible nervous *li'-ck that completeJy prostrated nie, and from that time ifiitil a few months airo I sufiered ni Hi i^ony and in fact never km a well day. irictl everything in the vrv of medic rie that 1 knew and consulted other physician* for miles around, hut found no iclief, and I resigned myself to the inevitable and awaited tlie end. A few months ago my son saw an account in vour paper of a new medicine called Dr. Williams' Pink Pillt ami wanted me to try it. 1 told him they would dome no good, but after taking a few doses I felt better, and again lioue revived in my lirenst. I continued taking tlie pills, and continued to improve, and now 1 believe 1 have finally recovered. That is about all of the story. 1 believe I'ink Pills saved iny life, and 1 never fail to recommend tlieni in my practice. In fact, 1 can tell you of a man that you will puss on your road home who has been almost completely cured of rheumatism after rears of guttering, Mr. ,S. CI. Bailey, is his name and you can stop and see him."

After thanking Pr. Porter the Gazette man started for Mr. Bailey's residence. He wai found on his farm cutting some trees down. In reply to our inquiry. Mr. Bailey said:

Yes. l5r. Porter told r'ou the truth." suffered for years with fheumatism. and was only able to leave my room in good weather, ami then was not ab'la to do any work. I was urged by I)r. Porter to try Pink Pills, for several weeks I positively refused. He finally overcame my prejudices, however, and am glad of it. for you car. see yourself what Pink Pills have done for me. Come to the house, and I will show you my crutch and cane which I'ink Pill* have enabled me to lay aside. 1 have also been giving these pills to a neighbor's child, which has scrofula, and it if improving right along."

HOV COMEDIAN CRANE VVA£SNUBBED

Be Gives :i linou Actoy Some Good Advice About Self Conceit. A very young man v.'ho made a liit in a new play in this city called on William H. Crane one morning and in a very patronizing manner remarked that he would consider an offer to join the comedian's company. The actor greeted him very cordially, for lie hiwl ahvaj-s been a very nice, modest young man, but it was not long beforo the aotor discovered that there was something the matter with his yonng friend. He held his ho.id very high and showed oertain unmistakable signs of being caddish. It did not take the actor long to see that tlm boy wits raftering from the affliction known as "big head," and culling to his valet to shnt the door from the ontside ho proceeded to do what he considered-his duty. "Look, here, my boy," said he, "you are suffering with worms'. Now, don't start. Sit still till I get through. One hit doesn't make an actor any more than one swallow is going to make next summer. You remind me of myself when I was but a 'prentice hand. I got a chance to play a small part and accepted it. In my own valuable estimation I made the biggest kind of a hit in it. The morning after I walked around the lobby of the cheap hotel in which I was then proud to stop as happy as any lord. I wanted everybody to point me out as that bright young actor who made the big hit the night before. "For a long time no one noticed me, and I could not understand it. Finally a sharp ey»l man called me to him, which I thought was a strange proceeding, and asked me if 1 hadn't appeared in the show the night before. I \fus nearly tickled to death, for I had been discovered. 1 proudly replied that I had. 'First appearance?'he asked. 'Yes, sir,'

I replied. What salary do yon get,?' was his next question. I told him that I got nothing jnst then, which was the truth. The inquisitive one shifted his cigar, looked me over very carefully for a minute, and turning on his heel said I was well paid. The reply nearly paralyzed me. I don't know hut that I went up to my room and cried.' Tho man took all the conceit out of me, and today he is my warmest friend. Get yourself back to earth now, and take my words in a kindly sense. None of us can afford to have big heads."

The young man left very angry, but next day wrote the actor a letter, apologizing for his conduct and thanking him for his advice.—New York Times.

THE CRACKED COIN GAMES

How the Shrewd Man Winn Betn With a ••Hocused" lilt of Silver. Two blithe ami confident young men entered the subtreasury one day lust week, and one of them dropped a silver half dollar, or something which looked like it, ou the desk before one of Uncle' Sam's money sharps. It fell with a dull and leadlike sound. "(-rood or bad?" asked the first blithe young man.

Tne clerk investigated. "(•rood," said he. "(,-iood piuough," said the first blithe young man. "Five dollars, please."

The second yonng man, not quite so blithe, passed over a bill, apparently the amount of a bet, and together tbey left thu place of gold and silver. Tho Kiibtreasury clerk smiled ami (dosed one eye. "It's a good one." lie said. "I have heard of it before, (-iness some of the sharp 'uns' are making a good thing out of it. "You see, if you take a silver coin and crack it some way or other, on sin anvil say, you can take all the ling oat of it without in any way spoiling the looks of the coin. Tlien all you 'nave to do is to get a confederate and-wui tlie saloons and cafes for suckers. Bang your coin bard on the mahogany. Tho barkeeper looks at it with suspicion. You hastily substitute another coin for it that rings like Old Trinity's chimes, but grumblingly murmur your belief that the first coin is all right. Your confederate offers to bet that it isn't. You do a little verbal fencing back and forth. The sucker comes forward, as he always does, for they are born eveiy minute. The confederate backs him up with a slap on the back and a confident assertion that the coin is lead. A bet is made. The money is put up. All adjourn to a bank in the vicinity to test the matter. The coin is pronouunced 0. K., and the suoker pockets his loss."—New York World.

The Pic's Grunt.

The continued grunting of the pig is of interest as revealing something of the conditions of lifo of his wild ancestors. A herd of swine soattered in the long grass or among the brackens of a European forest would soon lose sight of one another. But the grunts of each would still advertise his presence to his neighbors, and so the individual members of the herd would not lose touch with the main body. Then there are grunts and grunts. If one of my readers will imitate the ingenious Mr. Garner and take a photograph to tho nearest pigsty, he might get material to make up a book on the language and grammar of the bog. However thick the jungle, tlie wild pig could, by taking note of the pitch and emphasis of the grunts to right and left of him, tell pretty much what his hidden colleagues were think^ ing about.—North American Review.

Disease Lurks In Basement*. Physicians aver that there are disease and death in storing wooden blocks from old pavements in cellars for fuel. Several cases of typhoid and diphtheria have been traced to this cause. It is well to remember a single decaying cabbage or a bushel of turnips in the basement has poisoned the air of the entire house. Damp cellars alone are sources of disease. Millions of fungi grow in a night upon damp walls, ripen, and pass off in the air and often are the direct source of fatal epidemics. Fire that will dry the walls of the house is

the

very best of

disinfectants.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

A Omtloui Jurist,

ml!

In an action for the value of honndl killed by a train the opinion of the court says: "Tho plaintiff's versiou is that the train wa6 going west, toward Chattandog.i, and the dogs were going east, toward Knoxville. They were all on the same track and going in opposite directions, and under these facts a head end collision w::s unavoidable." And.again "It is insisted by tho plaintiff that while the whistle was sounded it was intended for the whole pack and not for the three dogs that were run over. This, however, seems to bo a mere opinion of the witness, as ho was a quarter of mile away from the place when tha •whistle was sounded. In addition it would, we think, be requiring too great diligence for the engin* to whistle for each particular dog, and more especially as lie hf.d no means of informing each dog that any special whistle was sounded for him. Upon these facts it appears that the receivers were running their train upon their own track, on regular schedule time, and had no other trnck at that place upon which they could run. On the other hand, the plaintiff's dogs were running ou tho railroad's truck instead of the fox's track, which simply crossed the railroad." Ou these facts it is held that "the dogs were guilty of the grossest contributory negligence ami were only entitled to such consideration as trespassers have under the law. "—Case and Comment.

London In 170u.

M. Grosiey, who visited London in 1705, notes that the old pious salutation of any one who sneezed, which still prevailed in his own country, had been abolished in Knglaud by tho use of snnlf. He was given to understand that to salute a snuff taker in these circumstances was like complimenting him on tho color of the hair of his wig. This color, by the way, be announces in another place, is usually brown, being chosen as least affected by the mud and dirt of tlie streets. This ingenuous explanation,like his statement that Pope was not buried in Westminster abbey because he was a Catholic, and that Queen Anne in St. Paul's churchyard wears a hoop, seems to suggest that some of his obliging informants must occasionally, in eighteenth century parlance, have treated M. Grosiey to a "bite." But, in saying that his chapter of clubs is disappointing, it must not be forgotten that he visited one very remarkable specimen of this all popular Georgian institution— the society if "Robin Hoodians," at whose freethinkingdiscussions Fielding pokes rather cumbrous fun in the Coveut Garden Journal. Longman's Magazine.

Ttiat Troublesome K.

There have been many estimable people whose stumbling block has been orthography, and it has sometimes proved an almost insurmountable obstacle.

There was once in eastern Tennessee a judge well versed in tho law, but entirely self educated, who had this same obstacle of orthography to contend with all his days. In early life he had lived in Knoxville, and for a long time insisted on spelling the name Noxville.

Ilis friends at last educated him up to the point of adding theK so thoroughly, in fact, did he learn this lesson thnt when, a few years afterward, he removed to Nashville, nothing could prevent him from spelling the name Knasliville.

Alter a few years' residence there the judge removed again, this time to Murlieesboro. One day he sat down to write his first letter from this place. He scratched his head in perplexity for a moment, and iinally exclaimed: "Well. I'll give it up! How in the world can they spell the name of this place with a K.-'"—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Tried the Doctor.

The Lancet tells this story to show tlie trials of a country doctor in France. A young physician settled in a commune., whose paupers he attended for £10 per annum. One night, soon after his arrival at this El Dorado, he received an urgent summons to visit a patient ho lived at a distance of six kilometers from the village. On reaching tlie cottage—it was then 11 p. in.—he found the doors closed and lights extinguished. In reply to his knocks tho door was opened by a sturdy peasant, who laughingly informed him that there was no illness in the house, but that his wile had wished to see if, when any one was ill, he would come if sent for! The unfortunate medico—since dead from overwork and probably underfeeding—remarked, "I could have felled him to the ground."

What Put It Oat.

"Accidents?" said the old sea captain. "No, we never have any to speak of on this line. Why, one trip about, a year itgo the ship caught fire down in the hold, and we never discovered it till we l".t, into port and began to discharge." "That's strange. What put the fire

"Why, it burned down through to the sea snid the water put it out. Couldn't burn the water, yon know."

And the captain walked away smiling, while the interlocutor was so astonished that he never thought of asking why the ship did not sink.—London Speaker.

Mustard Poultice.

ilix a large tablespoonful of mustard with a half pint of cornmeal, pour on this hot (not boiling) water and 6tir on a good lire until it is thick. A little molasses added to this detracts from the danger of the poultice sticking. When the mixture is cooked thick enough, spread between two pieces of thin muslin, and lay smoothly upon the aching spot. The amount given above will make two or three ordinary poultices.

Where we cannot invent we may at least improve. We may give somewhat I of novelty to that which was old, condensation to that which was diffuse, perspicuity to that which was obscure and currency to that which was recondite. —Colton.

Smallpox. that smallpox leaves on face may be entirely prr---innile expedient of hang­

ing red curtains round tliw patient's bed. This marvelous discovery was made in the reifin of Edward 1 by Dr. Gaddesden, who from that ti:i:o has been persistently ridiculed and laughed at by men of science to this day, notwithstanding the fact that ho claimed to have effected many cures, notably that of Edward 11 himself when Prince of Wales.

Ho ordered that tho patient should be wrapped in scarlet cloth, and that the bed and furniture of his room should be painted in tho same color. This Was the main cure, but he continued to treat the patient in the usual manner.

It is only quite recently thnt it bus been discovered that everything claimed for this simple remedy is perfectly true. —London Standard.

Name* Wanting:.

In names taken from trade, such as Archer, Fisher, Brewster, Glover, etc.. to be found in the London Directory, neither Banker, nor Soldier, nor Sailor occurs, but it must be remembered that I tho first of these names is scarcely as old as the days of the Stuarts, before which time the Goldsmiths "kept running cashes" and acted as "banqniers,'" for the word is oue of modern French importation. Soldier (soldat) also is of foreign and comparatively recent origin.

The absence if Sailor is supplied, though very sparingly it. must be owned, by Boatman and Boatwiight, Shipman and Shipwright. But, then, it is only in comparatively modern times that we became a sea loving people, and that "Britannia" began to "rule the waves. —Gentleman's Magazine.

Odd Provision For the Safety of Liner*. "Do you know," said a prominent shipping man, "that it. is a rule with the big transatlantic steamship companies that the wife of the captain shall I not travel in his ship? It's a fact. The company strongly prohibits its captains from taking tiieir wives aboard with them. Tho supposition is that if anvthing should happen to the ship the captain, instead of attending to his public duty, would devote his attention mainly to the safety of his wife. So that if the wife of a captain wants to go abroad she must take passage in some other vessel. This rule also holds in many of the freight lines."—Philadelphia Record.

.V Tragtlng Nature .Shocked. "I am sorry to have to tell you, young man," said the aged clergyman, "that the .sermon you delivered this morning was preached by John Wesley more than a hundred years ago." "Is ft possible!" exclaimed tho young divinity student, both shocked and grieved. "I—I found it in a volume of sermons published by the Rev. Philetus Muggins in 1825 and long since out of print 1 Whom can one trust?"—Chicugc Tribune.

The o\A story of Prometheus is a parable. in allegory. Prometheus was on terms of Intimacy with the gods. From them lie stole fire, and Rave it to men. For this sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount Caucasus, and vultures were set upon him. They only ate his liver. This JJTCW again as fast as it was pecked away. Arc his sufferings to be imagined Yes. and realized.

Take a modern interpretation of the parable. There is no cooking without fire. In cooking and eating the mischief lies. The stomach is overtasked, the bowels become clogged, they cannot dispysc of the food that is given them. The impurities back tip on the liver. Then come the vultures. The sufferings from an outside, visible hurt, area mere pin-scratch to the torments of a diseased liver.

But, moderns are ahead of the aucients. There is a sequel to the old story. Dr. Pierce is the author. Hi "('.olden Medical Discovery is more than equal to the vultures of dyspepsia and its kindred diseases. Every atom of the Discovery" is an active agent against disease. It flies like a ferret, wherever it is sent. It is .as pure as the needle of the compass. There is no more need of suffering from dyspepsia than there is of hauging one's self.

Mr. W. ROGERS, of ,507 Grayson St., Louisville, Ky. has this to say for himself and the Golden Medical Discovery I was a dyspeptic. Ihad not liiid a comfortable night in si* years. I have taken three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I am now fifty years old. I feci thirty years younger." Yours truly.
