Jaklc'a llnalneaa Inatmcu Little Jukle Fineman, a 7-year-old newsboy, who lived at No. 832 South street, came within an ace of selling his last papiT the other afternoon. He was on the cast side of 7th street, when a man on the opposite side of the way whistled for a |«per. Trolley car No. 728 was coming down the street at a rapid gait, and Jakle didn't see it; nor did the motorman see the boy, until it was too late. The little chap was struck and thrown flat on the ground, while the fender passed over his body, in the meantime the motorman ha<l applied the brake, and when the car came to a stop the boy's bead was touching the wheels. Both the niotornmu and the conductor thought the little fellow was killed. He did not utter a sound as he was dragged from his perilous position; but when it was discovered that he was only stunned by the shock the car was allowed to proceed. On recovering Ids vocal powers .lakh's first words were: “Hey! where’s dat bloke wot wanted a paper?" Philadelphia Record. The Net tile's Eye. The passage from the New Testament, “It is easier for a camel," etc., has perplexed many good men who aave read it literally, in Oriental cities there are in the large gates small and very low apertures, called netaphoricaliy “needles* eyes," just as we talk of windows on shipboard as “bulls’ eye." These entrances are too i arrow for a camel to pass through in the ordinary manner, or even if loaded. When a loaded camel has to pass through one of these entrances, it kneels down, its load is removed, ami then it shutlies through on its knees. “Yesterday,” writes Lady Dull Gordon from Cairo, “I saw a camel go through the eye of a needle that is, the low arched door of an enclosure. He must kn el and bow his head to -creep through; anil thus the rich man must humble himself." his sad Tot. An Aged Knightaville Mlner'a Story. From the Democrat, Brazil. Ind. Mr. Alexander McCallum, of Knightsville, Indiana. hßis a aufferer fur many years with rheumatism. A reporter us the Brazil Democrat visited him at his hutne in Kuightsville and was told by him the following story: "So you w-ant to know how bad 1 was and what cured me. For a number of years past 1 have been a terrible sufferer from that excruciatingly painful affliction. chronic rheumatism. For years 1 have suffered more or less with this painful malady, sometimes 1 would be so afflicted that 1 could get no relief day or night, nothing gave me relief. I could not get around without a cane for years, and often if I dropped it 1 could no. stoop to pick it up. I was a sufferer, more or less, almost ali the time, and sometimes I Would get a little better and would try to work. 1 remember one time I was taken very bad with rheumatic pains while at work, and it took me more than two hours to walk home, a distance of less than a mile. "During nil these years I had spent nearly all my wages in paying doctor's bills and buying medicine, but kept gradually growing worse, until 1 could not walk without the aid of my cane, and one of my legs bad begun to become paralyzed and to shrink away. Mr. Mack Rogers, of Brazil, sent me an article of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for I’ule People aud told me to read it. 1 did so and was induced to try the remedy. I bought a box and began taking the pills, however, with but little faith in them, as everything else had failed to give rue relief. 1 had not taken the first box until to my astonishment and great joy the pains were less severe, and farther apart, by the time the contents of the first box was gone, I was greatly relieved, aud 1 purchased the second box. My condition continued to improve and I kept buying pills until 1 am at last free of pain, eat well, sleep well, and can do a day’s work once more, have thrown away my cane, aud can get around spry aud quick, have outgrown my clothes and have gained more than twenty pounds in flesh since 1 began taking the pills. They are the greatest pills on earth to-day. I have great faith in them, and can conscientiously recommend them to anybody. 1 am almost a new man again, thanks to Dr. Williams’ I’ink I'ills.” The re;>orter further confirmed this story by asking McCallum if be would verify this statement, before the proper officer, and he subscribed to the following affidavit: Subscribed and sworn to before me this 11th day of July, 18115. HOWARD ECKELS. Justice of the Peace. That there is virtue in these pills is evident from the fact that Geo. IL Came, the Knightsville druggist, states to the reporter thut ho sells more of these pills than of any pills in his store, and that he sold them to Mr. McCallum, aud he knows that they will do the work they are claimed to do. Dr. Williams' I’ink Bills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life aud richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and ull forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Bink Bills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) nt 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of nil druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Styles of Winter of 'OS. Rough clothes (re pons in new “wrinkles” will bo worn this winter, despite the fact that Americans prefer smooth surfaces. So the wise woman will buv gowns for her daughters and herself, from the "bargain counters,” where such materials may bo had for half price at present. And it will be an excellent time to select from the pretty silks offered at such low prices now, vest fronts, materials for sleeve pulls and the large collars, which go such a long ways to make a last year's well-worn gown appear stylish and new. And for the home dressmaker. Womankind. About Breathing. In the ordinary respiration of man 1(1 to 17 cubic inches of atmospheric air passes into the lungs 20 times a minute, or a cubic foot every 54 minutes 274 cubic feet in 24 hours. The lungs hold 2.80 cubic feet. At each respiration 1.375 of oxygen is converted into a carbonic acid gas. The nitrogen inspired and expired is exactly equal. During the act of inspiration the lungs have been found to be the coldest part us the body.

The oldest Bank-Note. Tliis is the "flying money," or “convenient money” first issued in China, 2t’>!i7 B. C. The early Chinese notes were in all essentials similar to Hie modern bank notes, bearing the name of the bank, the date of the issue, the number of the note, the signature of the official issuing it, indications of its value in figures, in words, and in pictorial representations of coins of heaps of coin equal in amount to its full value, and a notice of the pains and penalties for counterfeiting. Over and above all was a laconic exhortation to industry and thrift: “Produce ail you can; spend wi’h economy.” The notes were printed in blue ink on jutper made from the fibre of the mulberry tree. L'ae Too Much Seed* Glenn Gun, an Oshtemo, .Mich., farmer, had always argued that farmers used too much seed wheat per acre, and concluded to try a little experiment this season. He carefully weighed out an ounce of wheat and the same amount of rye, sowing the grain with a drill, one kernel in a place, aud six inches apart. His neighbors ridiculed the idea of planting grain in such a manner, but Gun has thrashed his miniature crop and found his wheat yield to be eighty-six ounces, while the rye turned out six ounces more. The skeptical neighbors were convinc'd and the present methods of wheat culture are likely to undergo a change in that immediate region. Throwing I p All Hope. Sea Uap'ain There is no hope!
