Cos[?]llest or All Knives.

The most valuable knife 1i the worid |i to be teen tn the collection of a famous Ann of cutlers In Sheffield. It to large enough to fit the pocket of none but • giant and contains seventy-five blades, which dose up like those of an ordinary knife. Bach of the larger blades is elaborately engraved, and among the subjects of these strange pictures are views of Sheffield college, the city of Tork, Windsor Castle, Arundel Castle and a score of other famous scenes. The hafts are of mother of pearl, carved with great skill. On one aide the artist has depleted a stag hunt and on the other a boar hunt When asked as to the value of this knife, the firm replied: "Well, we calculated it up to £920, but that was before it was finished, and then we ceased to estimate what it had cost” —London Answers.

The McBride Case Again.

St John. Kan., Oct. 20.—Mr. and lira. William Mcßride and Jesse L. Limes, M. D., have gone before Mr. George B. Moore, Notary Public, and have sworn and subscribed to written statements confirming the story of the awful Illness and subsequent cure of the little eon of Mr. and Mrs. McBride.

In their sworn statement Mr. and Mrs. Mcßride say: “The very day we began to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills our boy bad twen-ty-seven of these Epileptic spells or flu. In less than a week he ceased having them entirely.” The case has caused a great sensation In the neighborhood. The sworn statements have 1 ' confirmed the whole story.

Chancellor MacCracken, of the New York University, and President Harper, of the University of Chicago, believe that entering students should be required to pass an examination in biblical knowledge. Both think that ■tudeuts should know the ten commandments, the sermon on the mount, tome of the psalms and a few of the classic hymns. President Harper hopes that the knowledge will one day be required In examination.

The truth of the rule that great Inventions attain their development through the brains of many men will "be Illustrated by a novel and intereetv tag exhibit which the Patent Office at Washington to preparing for the St Louis fair. The exhibit to designed to represent so far as possible by models the first thing of its kind In every line of human invention. Among other things there will be s model of the first cast-iron plow, which was patented by Charles Newbold In 1797. The first screw propeller, which wns Invented by Robert Hook in 1680, will also be shown by model. It will be news to many that the screw propeller was thought of so long ago. The Invention of the steamboat to credited to Robert Fulton, yet In the eighteenth century Denis Papin launched on the Fulda, lu Germany, a boat that was run by steam. It Is a matter of historical record that the river bargemen smashed Papin's boat because they feared it would injure their business. Likewise Included in the exhibit will be a reproduction of the first printing press and the earliest harvesting machine. This latter dates back to 160 B. C. It was a light, two-wheeled vehicle of wood with a pair of shafts, between which an ox was harnessed with its head toward the wagon. Tbs ox pushed the cart, on the front of which was arranged a series of long knives* As the ox wfilked along, the knives cut off the heads of the standing grain. The severed heads fell into the wagon, and by the Ingenious plan of having the of push the cart, instead of drawing It, the grain was not trampled beforehand. There will be a model of the first locomotive ever built, and another representing the earliest steam engine, which was exhibited at the Serapeum, in Alexandria, Egypt, about 130 B, 0. The earliest typewriter, patented in 1842, and the earliest practical sewing machine are also to be represented.

In After Years.

Wife—During our courtship you often spoke of being intoxicated with love for me, but you never say such things any more. Husband —But, my dear, you should remember thiut we have been married nearly three years. Wise —Well, what's that got to do with it? Husband—Everything. There’s no earthly hope for a man who doesn’t sober up in that length of time.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an lnCamod condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect bearing, and when it Is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless ths Inflammation can be taken out and this tuLs restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destrdyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY ft 00., Toledo, 0.

BLAIR BREAK DOWN.

Sensational Disclosures Cruah Noted St. Lon la Man. If the testimony of James T. Roberts before the grand jury is true, there Is Is St Louis a man who for the last seven years has been living a dual life. That man is James Lawrence Blair, son of the late GeA Frank Blair, who saved Missouri to the Union, lawyer and reformer, and until recently general counsel ol’ the world's fair. : When Mr. Blair wns informed of the charges against him Saturday afternoon at his country home near Kirkwood ht suffered a total collapse. He had stood for two hours on his porch and dictated a statement of his case before the grand jury. Following the close of the statement he was asked if he did not wish to discuss the report that his alleged misconduct was the result of an effort to shield others. Mr. Blair replied that he would not volunteer any information as to what may have been done in this particular. There was a moment of silence following this remark. “Is that all you want to say to tho public?” he was asked. Mr. Blair made as if to answer. Ho gasped for breath. His eyes rolled and his body trembled. He was facing the house, and directly back of him were the stone steps. The crutch which had partly supported him fell to the floor, and, throwing his bands in the air wildly, the attorney fell backward, going headlong down the steps. His bead struck the stone pavement with tremendous force. A physician was summoned, and late at night Mr. Blair regained consciousness. The charges supposed to involve Blair, but not mentioning his name, have been circulated in St. Louis financial and newspaper circles for more than a month, but none credited them, nor was any reference to them published until after Mr. Blair had applied for a warrant for Editor Brokmeyer on the charge of criminal libel, though Mr. Brokmeyer had carefully kept the name of the supposed wrong doer from the columns of his paper. The charges made by James T. Rob-, erts who, as stenographer, had access to private books and papers, are in brief as follows: 1. That deeds and mortgages aggregating $403,000 were forged. 2. That $34Q,000 was obtained from the firm of Dick Brothers & Co. of Philadelphia. 3. That $63,000 was obtained from the Blow estate in St. Louis on these papers. 4. That notarial and other necessary seals and stamps were counterfeited.' Roberts these transactions took place more than three years ago. Thus the statute of limitations would bo operative if any of them came within the law. James L. Blair has been one of the figureheads of business and social St Louis for years. Handsome, popular, a member of nearly every club in the city, a keen lawyer, an eloquent orator, public spirited, aud apparently a man of the highest and most aggressive principles, he has stood for what was believed to be the best and most noteworthy in the citizenship of conservative old St Louis. At his beautiful home he entertained lavishly. At Y. M. C. A. meetings he lectured on “Business Morals,” “Integrity in Business,” and kindred subjects. In the counsels of the world’s fair directorate his voice was often heard and his advice usually respected. Although not a politician, his influence in this sphere of action was as broad as it was in the social, commercial and moral life of the city.

CAN'T MAKE REPORT PUBLIC.

Postal Inquiry Results Would Help Attorneys for Accused Men. Now that the Bristow report of 110,000 words on the postofflee investigations has been submitted, the administration is undecided what to do with it The President has been exceedingly anxious to get the report before' the public before the opening of the special session of Congress, but the Department of Justice, which is to have charge of the prosecution of the men indicted, has advised that a considerable part of the report cannot be made public without “giving away” the government cases to the attorneys for the accused men. In view of the recommendation of the Attorney General, it mtjk be necessary to withhold the most interesting sections. It was said at the White House to-day that it might be ten days before any part of the report would be made public. The course to be pursued will not be decided on before the President has gone over the report carefully with the Attorney General. Meantime the recommendation of Bristow that several additional employes be discharged will be carried out.

This nation can abundantly afford to maintain at the Whit* House a corps of specialists in the art of detecting and ejecting cranks. y Another reason why the Sultan will “welcome” intervention if the powers unite upon it may be that the Saltan cannot help himself.

They had been obliged to deny themselves many comforts of lifo la order to get money enough to pay the physicians.

Sleep brought me no rest, for it was a restless sleep. The doctor said my nervous erntern was out of order, but his prescriptions didn’t seem to relieve me. I was told that Peruna was good for building up the nervous system. After using It for two months I know now that It toI want to say that it made a new woman of me. The torturing symptoms have all disappeared and I feel myself again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have taken.” ANNIE HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charley Louisiana, writes: “I sincerely believe that Peruna Ip woman’s best friend, for it has certainly been that to me. I had had backaches and other aches every month for a long time, but shortly after I began taking Peruna this was a thing of the past, and I have good reason to bo grateful. I take a bottle every spring and fall now, and that keepa my health perfect, and I certainly am more robust now than I have been before and am weighing more. I do not think any one will be disappointed in the results obtained from the use of Peruna.” MISS MAMIE POWELL.
