Dr. Porter of Kentucky Telia How it wi» Duuti (Prom the 3ft. Sterlinj/, Ky., Gazrtie.)
In the mountains of Eastern Ktnlucky lives Dr. C. H. Portc^ who for 47 years litis ministered to the noU in the counties of ltnwnn mid Morgan, imd hasdurint'that lime eultered more than li.imy of the [indents on whom he called. was at last cured, and his cure was eo ••liirllmg and miiT.euloui that it was soon llie talk of the the mountains, and finally reached the Wiief-TUMi. A reporter of the Gazette concluded to investigate in the interest of Buffering humanity, and to his question ths doctor replied
Twenty years ngo, while Jiving in Morgan county and practicing My profession, 1 iind a terrible nervous shock that completely prostrated me, and from that time until a few months ago I miflernl untold atony, and in fact never know a well day. I tried everything in the way of jnolie.ne that 1 knew ana consulted other physicians for miles around, but 1 found no relief, and I resigned myself to the inevitable and awaited tne end. A few months ago my sou saw an account in vour paper of new medicine called Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills HIK! wanted me to try it. 1 told him they would dome no good, but after taking a few doses 1 felt better, and again hope revived in my breast. I continued taking tne pills, and contiuued to improve, and now I believe 1 have finally recovered. That is about all of the story.
I
believe Pink Pills saved my life, and I never fail to recommend them in my practice. In fact, 1 can tell you of a man that YOU will pass on your road hoine who has been almost completely cured of rheumatism after years of suffering, Mr. y. U. Bailey, is his name and you can stop and
•ee
him."
After thanking Dr. Porter the Gazette man started for Mr. Bailey's residence, lie was found on his farm cutting some trees down. In reply to our inquiry, Mr. Bailey said:
Yes, l')r. Porter told you the truth. suffered for years with fheurnatism, and was only able to leave my room in good weather, and then was not able to do auv work. 1 was urged by Dr. Porter to try Pink Pills, for several weeks I positively refused. He finally overcame my prejudices, however, and 1 am triad of it, for you can see yourself what Pink Pills have done tor me. Come to the house, and 1 will show you my crutch and cane which Pink Pills have enabled me to lay aside. have also been giving these pills to a neighbor's child, which lias scrofula, and it is improving right along." The address of all the gentlemen referred to is, Elliottsville, Rowan County, Kentucky, and anyone, can have these statements verified by writintrto vh- in.

1 UN WHILE WAITING.
A MYSTERIOUS FAT GERMAN IN A
NEW YORK FERRYHOUSE.
Ho Seemed to Be Sleepy, Yet Ho Provided Entertainment For Those Present Until tho Boat Arrived, and Then He Went
Aboard and Disappeared.
He was a fat German. Ho looked as if he might be a prosperous saloon keeper. He signaiizod his cutrauco into the Cortlandt Street ferry house by a series of loud meows which sounded so natural that tho half hundred people who were waiting for the boat looked around for the cats. Tho fat jiian was under the weather. He stroller! over to the steam radiator in tho center of the room, and in a couple of minutes voices were heard. First they were in tho northeast corner of the room up near the ceiling. Some one up there seemed to be carrying on an animated conversation with himself. It was plain that tho somo one was a German. "Chakey," said the voice, "vod your vife vill say do you alrotty, ho? You voz one tam fool k'vick yet."
The women in the ferryliouse began to look nervouH. They gazed at the ceiling at the spot from where tho voice seemed to come. Tho men were looking there too. The fat German stood by the radiator, his head over his breast, and seemed to be sound asleep. "Fire! Fire! Fire!" cried a voice in tho southwest corner.
Everybody jumped ap. The women grabbed tho arms of their escorts. The fat German still slept, and the voice sounded again, this time seemingly from the platform of an automatic weighing machine. "ChakGj, you vos a prute! Vod for you vand der ladies do sgare vod? I bunch your nose alretty."
This was somewhat reassuring. Everybody seemed to realize at the same instant that there was a ventriloquist with a big range of voice around somewhere, and everybody looked at the German. He seemed still to be asleep. But in a moment he moved uneasily. Then he lifted the ragged stump of a cigar he had in his hand, opened his eyes sleepily and put the stump into his mouth. Some lire was left in the cigar stump, but he didn't seem to notice it. He munched on the butt as if it were a sweet morsel. Everybody was watching him. He chewed perhaps a minute. Then he swallowed the stump, and the next instant pulled anew cigar out of his ear, bit off the end and lighted it. "I no puv cigarH.• he said. "I maig dem."
The crowd was mightily interested and gathered close around. He didn't seem to like that, and he snorted "Vod you dink, yon vools beoble? Gauze I maig a cigar you dink I vos a vool. I uniuaig id.Saying which he put the fresh cigar, lighted as it was, back into his ear. He seemed to shove it out of sight and calmly took from his other oar the ragged bntt that, ho had but a moment before chewed up and swallowed. He pulled on it. It was still lighted. One of his eyelids began twitching. "My lug vos gone," he said. "I haff nails in my head ven vools loog ad me.
With the tips of his lingers he lifted the twitching lid and pnlled out a live inch iron spike, like,.those used to fasten down steel rails. "I vos durn do one beice off iron alretty if you beobles doud ka'vit," ho snorted, and he pulled another spike from the other eye. At the same instant the ragged butt disappeared, and in its place was another fresh cigar. He lit that. Next he pulled a couple of yards of muslin out of his mouth and wiped his eyes, after which he put back the spikes. He seemed to drive them right into the ball of either eye. The women were shocked and turned away. He pulled a whisky glass from his pocket, bit pieces out of it and chewed ihein with relish. "Chentleinens," he said, "I voz 'ungry. Cand yon hellub nie'r" "Thought it was a fake like that," said two or three of the men in the crowd. "Well, it's a cold day when he gets any of my money," said two or three others. "Money?" growled the fat German. "You dink I am lige you vool beobles vod ead mead nid. I voz nod. I ead baber dod voz cheaber. Villsomepoddy helb a boor man do a biece off baber? Ziff me dod," he 6aid, snatching an evening paper from the hands of one of the men. He tore two pages from it, and beginning on the corner of one he staffed it into his mouth and ate it. At least it disappeared. Then he tackled the other page, and that went "Poor man," said one sympathetic woman, "he must be hungry. But liow can he eat that stuff?"
The second page was gone, all but a little corner. The fat German's cheek bulged. A voice over his bead said: "Chakey, you've god doo much you voz a hog.''
He seized tho corner of the paper that was sticking out and began pulling at it. It came in tho shape of a perfect cone, alternately red, white and bine in color. He held his head back and pulled. Still the colored cone kept coming. It ended at about the second yard. He handled it tenderly a moment, juggled it around, and linally turning it point down stuck it down his throat. Down and down it went, until it "was out of sight. He closed his mouth, llie cigar all this time had been missing. It appeared now, still lighted.
The coming in of the boat stopped the fun. The fat German was the first man aboard. He sank into a corner iu the men's cabin and iu two minutes was snoring. Who he was or what became of him nobody on the boat knew. He went out upon the rear deck when the boat was half way to Jersey City and disappeared.—New York Sun.

"BOCK" BEER".
How Iho Beverage Is Brewed and Propared For the Trade. "Bock" beer is the keynote of history of bear brewing as it is understood by the people of this day. It is generally supposed that beer is of distinctively German origin, whereas it is a fact that beer was brewed by the men of many nationalities in many parts of the world centuries before the Christian era. The Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, made beer from corn and barley in those ancient times. The lager beer of the Germans was a Bavarian product and "bock" beer originated in Bavaria.
We have heard a number of stories as to the origin of tho term "bock" beor, and while they all vary as to detail, they aro as a rule correct. When beer was first browed in Bavaria and for a' long time afterward in that and all other parts of tho world, ice formed no part in the manufacture, though it was very necessary that it should bo fermented and stored in a cold temperature. As ice was not relied upou to make this cold air and as artificial refrigeration was not dreamed of, brewing was done only in cold weather, and the beer was stored in chill vaults underground. Hero it was left to age until some time in spring, say the latter part of April or the beginning of May, when the vaults were thrown open and the thirsty public was regaled with a pure, wholesome draft of the foamy beverage. And as the first issue from these vaults was stronger and liable to go to the head, the people were said to be "bockedhence the name. Another version of the story is that when the vaults were thrown open, a buck jumped out and that gave rise to the name and also to the widely advertised "William" goat who adorns the "bock" beer signs of the present day.
But "bock" beer season is a time of sentiment to the Germans, and other people have imbibed the sentiment with the dark and heavy drink. They want "bock" beer at the proper time and they will drink it then and enjoy it.— Wine and Spirit Journal.
JOSEPHINE'S EXTRAVAGANCE.
Eveu the Emperor Napoleon Wax Both* «r«d by llreMKinakerH* IMUh. Throughout the late summer and autumn of 1807 the imperial court was more stately than ever before. The old nobility became assiduous in their attendance, and, as one of the empress' ladies in waiting is said to have remarked, the court "received good company." On his return Napoleon had found Josephine's extravagance to be its unbounded as ever, but he could not well complain, because, although for tho most part frugal himself, he had this time encouraged iavishuess in his family. Still, it was not agreeable to have dressmakers' bills flung into his carriage when driving in state with his consort, and on one occasion he sent an unprincipled but clever milliner to the prison of Bicetre for having disobeyed his orders in furnishing her wares to tho empress at exorbitant prices. The person was so indispensable to the court ladies, however, that they crowded her cell, and she was soon released.
At St. Cloud, Malmaison, the Tuileries and Fontainebleau the social vices of courts began to appear, but, they were sternly repressed, especially high play. By way of contrast, the city of Paris was at that very moment debauched by a profusion of gambling hells and houses of prostitution licensed at an enormous figure by Fouche and producing great revenues for the secret police. The gorgeous state uniforms of the marshals, the rich and elegant-costumes of the ladies, the bespangled and begilt coats of the household, dancing, theatricals, concerts and excursions—all these elements should have combined to create brilliancy and gayety iu the imperial circle, bur they did not.—"Life of Napoleon," bv Professor Sloane, in Centurv.
Difficulties of Carnation Culture* Luck is not a reliable factor in the difficult problem of carnation culture. It demands exhaustive knowledge of the habits, requirements and diseases of the plant, unceasing watchfulness and unremitting labor the year through. Even when all is done that 6eems possible to merit success, the grower is liable to the exasperation of finding that particular varieties, upon which be may have based his most sanguine expectations, obstinately refuse to flourish under his care. Almost every oarnation culturist knows varieties that he "simply cannot raise" and neither he, nor anybody else, can tell the reason why. Of course, there must be something lacking, in soil, water, air or treatment, which they require, but it seems as if they were capable of taking offense at him, or his sunoundings, and preferring death, or at least, unproductive life, to endurance ol the association.—Scribner's.
Willing to Oblige.
Lx-Seuator Sawyer was quoted in Wa.Miiugtou as saying: "When they ask me if I want to be a delegate, I tell thei.i 'No, I don't care anything about it,'that I have been to a good many conventions that I am pretty near 80 years old, and that if any of the boys want to go in my place I am perfectly willing to have 'em. At the same time, if they want to make me a delegate I'll accept. I've got nothing else to do, but I'm too old to have any ambition, and hereafter will do anything that is wanted of me, but no more."
This is a very sensible and moderate observation. But it applies to all sorts of jobs, including United States senator. —La Crosse (Wis.) Chronicle.
New Idea In Hallway Tracks. The annoyance of wheels slipping on tracks, especially in up grades, and the tremendous resistance experienced have led to anew invention. The rail is provided jvitb an edge or rim covered with oogs or teeth, and the wheel has similar cogs which engage with them. These cogs are set on diagonally, inclining downward, and are less likely to accunulate dust and dirt. New York .edger.
WOES' OF A RESTAURANT KEEPER".'
His Napkins and Even Ills CaBters Carried Off by Customers. It was during the second half of the rush for dinner in a restaurant near Washington markot., where several thousands persons are fed daily, when a great clamor arose for napkins, and waiters rushed about gathering up what few could bo found on the tables and distributing these, and others wero dispatched to the laundry for more. Henry, tho head waiter, went around meantime trying to pacify the people, who were angry and declaring that it was a shame that tho houso couldn't givo a man a napkin to wipo his mouth with. Somo customers fell back upon flio time honored custom of tho neighborhood and used tho corners of the tablecloths in lieu of tho missing napkins. "It's a curious and an annoying matter how we run out of napkins every little while," said Henry. "You might suppose that because they are laundered so frequently tliev disappear in tho regular way by wearing out, but that is not true. You will seldom see napkins in a restaurant which show the effect of wear. They go because thoy aro stolen. This is true not only of such popular restaurants as this, but also of every restaurant in this city. Who takes them I do not know. All we know is that they disappear regularly, and our supposition is that some are carried off by people who deliberately intend to steal them and others by persons who put them into their pockets by mistake. I know one such person as this. It was a woman of undoubted honesty, but it was a joke among tho members of her own family that she never dined at a hotel or restaurant without carrying off a napkin which she had unconsciously stuffed into her pocket. We got 18 dozen big dinner napkins a few weeks ago. Within three weeks they had all disappeared but five dozen, and now there isn't one in the house. "Tableware goes in the same way sometimes. A little while ago wo got eight dozen of these salt and pepper casters. Hero Henry pointed to some neat little cut glass casters with silver plated tops. "We put them on the tables during the time the wagon boys were coming in here for breakfast last fall, just before they would start out to sell their day's buyings on the streets. 'Hully gee!' they would say. 'That's a pretty nice thing. I guess I'll swipe it just for luck—seer' And when they left every day we would miss a few casters. Five dozen of them were lost, within a few weeks."—New York Sun.
HIDING HER DIAMONDS.
Take a Lesson From the Woman Who Put Hern In tier Ol«l Shoen. A group of Washington women had been telling each other where they hid their treasures from possible thieves. One used her pillowcase, a second had a pocket on her stocking, another the lining of her picture hat, when a third said she always tucked things iu her old shoes. "Then you wantto take warning from tho experience of a friend of mine," said Mrs. Tarsney of Missouri. "She had beautiful diamond rings, ornaments, earrings and other articles, and when an epidemic of burglaries came along she took to hiding her diamonds in her oldest shoes. One night she was awakened by burglars down stairs. She thought if they heard some one moving about they would take fright and run away without attempting to come up where she was. So she went to the head of the stairs, but. the burglars kept on and didn't mind her in the least She hurried back into her room, caught up the first articles that came handy and sent them over the balusters. After they had left her hand sho was struck with horror to discover her old shoes bumping down the stairs, attended by a shower of her diamonds. Luckily the shoes did the work. The burglars didn't stop to investigate, and the woman had strength enough to gather up her jewels, all of which she found except, one earring. The next day the maids had to sweep the entire floor to discover that. But she doesn't use her old shoes as diamond safes since. "—Philadelphia Press.
IEKMS sometimes as if the world were all wrong. Seems as if all the things we like disagree with us, and all the things wc don't like, agree with us. Dyspepsia lurks in most of the good things we eat 'and indigestion follows the gratification of appetite. Of course, it isn't Nature's fault Nature
docs the best she can, and if a man will only help lu-r a little bit at the right time, he may cat what he likes and as much as he likes. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellet6 are for people who are troubled with indigestion. Particularly for those in whom it manifests itself in the form of constipation. The "Pellets" are quick and easy in their action. They are in perfect harmony with Nature. They effect a permanent cure. You need take thein regularly only a little while After that, use them occasionally when you need them —when you have eaten something that disagrees with you. They are not violent in their effect, do not derange the system at all, and may be taken just is freely as you would take water or any other necessity of life. Once used they are always in favor. You can get the "Pellets" at any drug store. If you are careless enough to let an unscrupulous druggist sell you something on which he makes more money, it is your own fault if you do not get well.
