Worth Knowing. TLere are many who are suffer* ing from disease, who haV9 receive ed little benefit from medicines, and who have become discouraged or even hopeless of recovery.— The assurance that a remedy for these ills exists vould be joyful news to them. And yet, this is just the announcement we make them, and this statement is verified by numbers of the most reliable witnesses, who gladly testify to its remarkable curative powers, and offer themselves sound and well, in evidence. Compound Oxygin has cured hundreds of cases given over as incurable. The proof is at your service. It will cost you nothing to convince yourself. Would it not be wise to do so?

Whenever clear vision at & proper distance beoomes difficult, it is proper to seek the aid of glasses. They become to the overburdened muscle of the eye as much of a necessity as food to the empty stomach, or a cane or crutch to him who has not the full power of his legs. There is no advantage in delaying their use. - Call on or mail a postal card to CHAS, VICK, Optician, and (.et a perfect fit, with the best lenses in the world, at hard time pi ices, the best that money can buy, Rensselaer, Ind. Use Salt to Sweeten Sugar. Who would think of making sugar sweeter by the addition of salt? Such, however, is asserted to be the case by Prof. Zuntz, at a late meeting of tlia Physiollgical Society of Berlin. From his experiments he finds that if tc a solution of sugar there be added a slight amount of salt and water so weak that It excites no saline taste, the result is extra sweetening of the sugared water. The weakest of quinine solution is said also to produce a practically similar result The explanation given of the above seeming Incongruity Is that the ever so feeble saltness or bitterness Imparts an Increased sensibility to the sensation of taste by the simultaneous stimuli, and hence an appreciation 01 additional sweetness,

Summer Resorts On the Monon.

The Summer Resorts on the Monou Route are more than usually popula. this year. West Baden and French Lick Spri gs, in Or. ange county, are overflowing with visirors, ant the hotels have all they can do. Paoli, the county seat, has opened a new sauitariu u , which is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially in tteir constituents, and are successfully prescribed for a great variety of maladies. The wools in the neighborhood abound in game and all the streams teem fish, some of them having been stocked by the government fish commission. All indications pou t to West Baden (and the neighboring springs) as the great sanitarium and popular summer resort of the west. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favorite picnic and outing spot, wnere the Monon has a fine wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is ffrst rate. The long experience of Judge Healy in the Boot and Shoe trade should give him a prestige enjoyed bv no other. His stock has been selected with care and backed by good judgment, and his prices can not fail to please.

Hidden City in the Arctic Seas.

The story of the hidden city revealed to the world by a mirage seen over the Muir glacier In Alaska has once more been started, says the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Several alleged observers have seen this alleged mirage, the most favored of them being an alleged John M. White, of Philadelphia, who on June 21, "some years ago,” was able to study It for nine hours, from 11:30 a. m. to 9:30 p. m., through a powerful glass. Mr. White is quite certain he didn’t dream this mirage because he has since seen photographs of it, taken by other people. The photographs do not look in the least like the mirage Mr. White saw, but that Is Immaterial to his argument, which is that the mirage couldn’t very well have been photographed unless the mirage were visible; that Jf the mirage were visible there Is no reason why he, Mr. White, should not have seen it if he were at the Muir glacier at the proper time of year; that having, Indisputably, been at the Muir glacier at the proper time of year he is decidedly Inclined to believe that he Is not mistaken In his recollection that he saw the mirage. Mr. White's theory is that there Is a flourishing open metropolis situated somewhere near the north pole on the shores of the open polar sea, and that when the mm “Is at Its highest northern point, os It Is June 21, the mirage of the arctic oapltal Is reflected to the point where it tumeara over the Muir glacier."

SOMEWHAT CURIOUS.

More mountain effmbers have been terlously hurt In the Alps this season than ever before tn an equal length of time. A South Carolina widow became her own mother-in-law recently. That la to aay, she Is now the wife of her hueband’s father. A dude in Philadelphia was turned out of the club to which he belonged because he paid his tailor’s bMI two days after he got the clothes. A West Virginia man Is so peculiarly affected by riding on a train that he has to chain himself to a seat to prevent his Jumping out of the car window. Fruit cools the blood, cleans the teeth and aids digestion. Those who can’t eat It miss thebeueflt of perhaps the most medicinal food on nature’s bill of fare. A Minnesota girl of 15 can distinguish no color, everything being white to her, and she is compelled to wear dark glasses to protect her eye* from the glare. A Swiss scientist has been testing the presence of bacteria In the mountain air, and finds that not a single microbe exists above an altitude of 2,000 feet Wheat can be grown In the Alps at an elevation of 8,000 feet; In Brazil, at 5,000: In the Caucasus, at 8,000; in Abyssinia, at 10,000; in Peru and Bolivia, at 11,000. A Minnesota judge waa due In court at a town some miles distant. He adjourned a referred case to the cor, heard evidence en route and granted the petition before getting off the train. While there are no complete statistics available, careful estimates from all possible sources of Information make it probable that, at the time of the discovery, there were no more than 600,000 Indians in all North America.

HATS AND HEADGEAR.

The brims of silk hats are said to be curled by hand, though In some factories this process Is now accomplished by machinery. When the brim Is handeuried the workman relies altogether en his eye for the necessary curve. The coins issued by Brutus and Oa*. Blue after the murder of Caesar contained as an emblem a cap between two daggers, an intimation that Rome had regained its freedom, and a reminder of the means whereby liberty was regained. The last operation of hat-making la “trimming.” It 1b usually done by girls and constats in putting In the Ing and leather and putting on the band and bindings; these operations being greatly assisted by the use of the eewlng machine. The “cap of maintenance” is borne before English sovereigns at their coronation. It is made of ermine and has two tails or pendants behind. Several dignitaries In England and a number of nolbles also have the right to carry a cap of maintenance on state occasions. When hat making was Introduced Into America is not certainly known, but in 1732 the industry had became so extensive that English hat makers complained bitterly that not only could they not seUl their hats in America, but that American hats were actually sold in England. The tilting helmet, or helmet used at a joust, or tournament, often bore as a crest the figures of birds or animals real or Imaginary, and many Instances are known of the knight having ths head and bust of his lady carved In ivory or silver, and placing It on hls helmet ns a crest. A green turban throughout all Islam Is a sign that the wearer Is a descendant of the Prophet. Many persons who have the right to this mark of honor are now In low life, and a traveler in Constantinople or Cairo may have hia baggage carried to his hotel by a genuine descendant of tho founder of Mo haipmedanism.

THE FINEST HORSES AND ANIMALS EVER SEEN. As was expeotod, the Great Wallace Show drew a large orowd to our city last Saturday, and all ex* pressed .hemselves as highly pleased with the entire show.— The street parade was witnessed by thousands of people, and consisted of bruss bands, cages of wild auimals, elephants, camels, etc., and the finest looking ot of circus horses ever seen in Hutchinson. The promise of the parade wus more than fulfilled in the show itself. The menagerie is a good one, while the performance o» over two hours was one of the best ever given in th l oity. No long waiting between acts, but something to interest and amuse from opening to close. In fact, no circus that ever came to Hutchinson seemed to give better satisfaction than the great Wallace Show.—Hutchinson (Kar.) Clip* per, July 13, 1895.

HOW ELASTIC ARE HOTEL BILLS

Drummers May Beat a Tattoo on Their Km ploy era’ Bank Account. “How much shall I make out Tour bill for?” Inquired the country hotel clerk, as the guest was learing. “Make It out] for what I owe,” replied the man, a little surprised. “The bill Is SB,” continued the clerk, with an Ingratiating smile, “but I’d just as soon make It out for $9 or $lO. It’s all the same to us.” “Perhaps It Is,” the puzzled guest ex* claimed, “but It Isn’t to me. Why should I pay $9 or $lO when my bill Is $6T’ “Aren’t you a drummer?” the dark suddenly demanded. “Certainly not” There was a pause, and then the guest suddenly demanded: “What’s all this business about fake bills, anyway?” “We always make out bills *to suit’ for drummers,” exclaimed the clerk, “so’s th‘ey can come out even on their expense accounts. A traveling man who pays us $6 can get a receipt for $lO If he likes, and when he settles with his employers he shows them the receipted bill and pockets the difference. I thought you were a drummer." “No, I’m not,” replied the guest, “but I know a good many drummers. In fact, I employ about a hundred, and 1 notice that when they come to this town they always stop at this hotel. I observe also that It’s a $2 joint and that I’m always charged $3.00. Never mind, though, I’ll lay for the next man who stops here.” And as he went out the clerk looked as if he thought he had put bis foot right In It and the foot was held there. —New York Herald.
