KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs.

It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from ©very objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druggists in 60c and $1 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.

Locomotives and Storms.

A correspondent of the NorUnvestem Railroader advances some odd theories to account for the frequency and severity of storms i n moder n - times. He gives the figures to prove that there are now over 30,000 locomotives in actual use in |hc United States, besides the hundreds of thousands of stationary engines of all kinds and sizes. From a round 30,000 locomotives he estimates as much as 63,000,000,000 cubic yards of vapor each week,7,000.000,000 cubic yards a day, all to be returned as rain—“quite enough,” he says, “to produce a good rain-storm every twen-ty-four hours.” lie estimates other engines of all descriptions at 180,000— probably a very low estimate —and concludes that these, with the locomotives, Bond about 470,000,000,000 yards of vapor into the air every seven days. “Is it not enough.” he asks, “to give us floods of terrorP” Hundreds of gaswells sending their poison into the atmosphere; millions of cesspools and sewers. Would it be any wonder if some blighting plague would lay waste the land?

MR. GOLDSMITH’S MIDGET DOG.

The Puppy Is an Inch Long, Weigh* a Quarter of an Ounce and Challenges His Class. Chicago Record. S. Goldsmith, of 237 Madison street, has a dog. Mr. Goldsmith’s dog is the admiration of all who have seen him since he grew large enough to be seen without the aid of

LIFE-SIZSE KETCH OF THE MIDGET.

a microscope. He is of Mexican breed and of the variety that never sheds hair for the reason that he never has any to shed. The dog in question was born three weeks ago, and there were two others born at the same time. In the tree weeks he has managed to grow to the length of one inch and to attain the weight of a trifle over one-quarter of an ounce. The little fellow has a soup bowl for his kennel and apparently enjoys life in a large wad of cotton which constitutes his bed and feeding ground. The cotton is saturated with cream and the dog extracts the moisture when he is hungry. Mr. Goldsmith does not expect that this midget wiR ever be much of a fighter, but he says that he will “bask” him for any amount against any other dog of his size and weight. He will even concede the adversary a quarter of an ounce. The mother of the dog is scarcely three inches tall.

“The Knowinest Dog that Ever Wore Har.”

The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise describes him thus: “He came in from Truckee Meadows lately, did this level-headed dog. He rode in by the side of his master on a load of potatoes. He was not a pretty doar, not a dog of blue blood and high degree. He was a tall, gaunt, shaggy - haired, wild-eyed-looking brindle beast of unrecorded pedigree. i “As the wagon, carrying man, dog and potatoes, halted for a time in front of a saloon in North C. St., one of a party of half a dozen loungers thereabout made some remark in regard to the appearance of the canine, when thus spake ye hornyhanded, frouzy-headed tiller of the soil:”* ‘Fellers, that air ain’t a purty dog, I know —he’s like me —makes no pretense to nateral beauty —but he’s just the knowest dog that ever wore har. He’s got more instink, that dog has, an’ more savey, an’pen’tration an' insight into human natur' just in that ugly old cabeza o’ his noi can be found in the heds of a wholf plaza-full of eddicated town dogs—poodles an’ sich. What I pride in him for is his regular human sense; he’s jist the greatest dog out! Now, es I coome home from town perfectly sober (wlv n I’ve left him to see after the ranch), it would jist do your hearts good to see that clog show ofl what a sense of appreciation lie’s got of me. Fellers, his gorgeous tail then stands aloft; he skyugles about; he runs on afore me a-scrapin’ up the yearth with his hind feet, sendin' the chips a-fiyin’; he holds up his head an’ barks in a cheerful an’ manly tone o’ voice, escortin’ me forward an' feelin’ premder’n he’d holed a woodchuck! But let me come home full of tangleleg, sheep-herder’s-de-light and terrantiler-juice, and that is the shamedest dog you ever saw. He jest takes one look at me an’he knows it all. Down goes his tail, he lops his years, hangs his head, squats his back, an’ lookin’ back now an’ then, he slinks off an' crawls under the barn—-actually ashamed to be seen about the premises for fear that somebody's lind out that I. own him. I tell you, fellers, he’s the blamedest dog for right out an’ out human sense that ever was seed in these parts, and Truckee Medders is proud that he war pupped thar!”

MRS. FRED. GEBILARDT, nee Miss Louise Morris.

Of Baltimore. Miss Morris was recently married to Fred Gcbhardt, the New York club man, whose only claim to distinction is his wealth, his connection with Mrs. Langtry, and his extravagant gift of a solid silver bath tub costing $5,000 to Miss Morris a few days previous to his wedding.

The Home of a Gypsy Prince.

A modest brick house standing a little way back from the street, in a suburb of the city of Dayton, Ohio, is the property and part of the year the home of a gypsy of wide repute, the heir apparent to a throne in Little Egypt; and here, and hereabout, is the rendezvous of a numerous band or tribe. This settlement is widely known as the home of some of the richest and most influential families of gypsydom, among them the Stanleys, of whom the present head. Levi, is called the king, This Levi Stanley is a short, heavy-set man of something over 70 years. He is still strong, and active, with a ruddy cheek and bright eye. Much of his time is passed with the traveling parties, while his oldest son, Levi, Jr., a stalwart, .handsome man of 50, assumes much of the active direction of affairs, looking after property, etc. Lying scattered about to the north of Dayton are many line farms owued by them. At the present most of the farms are in the hands of tenants, for however near the gypsy may be to the primeval man he hits not yet developed a strong liking for the labor of the primeval occupation. •■vren, now,- sTa an cna Tamer ivher. his cow had kicked him, the »rilk stool and the pail in different directions, “that’s the worst fault this low’s got.” FITS.

It will, perhaps, require a little stretch of the imagination on the part of the reader to recognize the fact that the two portraits at the head of this article are of the same individual ; and yet they are truthful sketches made from photographs, taken only a few months apart, of a very much esteemed citizen of Illinois—Mr. C. H. Harris, whose address is No. 1,622 Second Avenue, Rock Island, PL The following extract from a letter written by Mr. Harris explains the marvelous change in his personal appearance. He writes : “ Dr. Fierce’s Golden Medical Discovery saved my life end has made me a man. My home physician says lam good for forty years yet. You will remember that I was just between life and death, and all of nly friends wore sura it was a case of death, until I commenced taking a second bottle of * Golden Medical Disooverv,’ when I became able, to sit up and the cough was very much better, and the bleeding from my lungs stopped, and before I bad taken six bottles of the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ my cough ceased and I was a new man and ready for business. I now feel that it is a duty that I owe to ray fellow-men to recommend to them the ‘ Golden Medical Discovery ’ which saved my life when doctors and all other medicines failed to do me any good. 1 send to you with this letter two of my photographs; one taken a few weeks beforel was taken down sick in bod, and the other was taken after I was well.” These two photographs are faithfully re-produced at the head of this article. Mr. Harris's experience in the use of “ Golden Medical Discovery” is not on exceptional one. Thousands of eminent people in all parts of the world testify, in just as emphatic language, to its marvelous curative powers over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, and kindred diseases. Eminent physicians prescribe “Golden Medical Discovery” when any of their dear ones’ lives are imperilled by that dread disease, Consumption. Under such circumstances only the most reliable remedy would be depended unon. The following letter is to the point. It is from an eminent phvsidan of Stamps, Lafayette Co., Arte, fie says: “Consumption is hereditary !n my wife’s family : soma have already died with the disease. My wife has a sister, Mrs. E. A. Cleary, that was taken with consumption. She used Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and, to the surprise of her many friends, she got well. My wife has also had hemorrhages from the lungs, and her sister insisted os her using the p Goldea Medical Dis-

A Sad Picture.

The next time you are In a melancholy mood, as you are almost certain to be if you become bilious or dyspeptic, picture to yourself the condition of a poor man who, without resources and with a family on his hands, finds himself on a sick bed. Gloom obscures his narrow horizon in every direction. Unable to do any work, without means, or friends capable of assisting him, with the possible prospect of continued ill health; with rent, perhaps, unpaid and unpayable,'the outlook for him is gloomy indeed. How shortsighted, then, is the man of humble means who, perceiving that his health and strength are failing, takes no precaution to avert the oncoming evil. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters Is a reliable, professionally recommended restorative of health and vigor, and a sure means of preventing the many disabling complaints which exposure, overwork, neglect and insufficient food produce. Malaria, rheumatism, kidney and liver complaint, dyspepsia and nervous disease always yield to it. Many a Congressman envies the mosquito. His bill always goes through.

Salzer's catalogue Is brimful of the rarest kinds of hardy, ironclad fruits, such as strawberries, currants, blackberries, raspberries, apples, peaches, pears, nuts, etc. Grapes!

Colonel Buck Kilgore’s Story.

Washington Post, “Major Wintersmith rushed into General Hanson’s room one day in a state of great mental disturbance,” said Oolonel Kilgore, of Texas. “ ‘General,’ he exclaimed, ‘a man out here in the hall stopped mo just now and took me for you.’ “ 'He did?’ said Hanson. I’ll go out and kill him.’ “ ‘Oh, don’t trouble yourself about that,’ replied the Major, ‘l’ve killed him already.’ "

covery.’ I consented to her using it, and it cured her. She has bad no symptoms of consumption for the past six years. People having this disease can take no better remedy.” Yours very truly, From the Buckeye State comes the following : “ I was pronounced to have consumption by two of our best doctors. I spent nearly S3OO, and wa3 no better. I concluded to try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. I bought and usod eight bottles and I can now say with truth that I feel just as well to-day as I did at t wenty-flvo, and ran do just, as good a day’s work on the farm, although I had not done any work for several years.” Truly, your friend, Mr. Dulaney's address is Campbell, Ohio. “ I had catarrh in the head for years and trouble with my left lung at the same time. You put so much faith in your remedies that I concluded to try one bottle or two, and I derived much benefit therefrom. I used up three bottles of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, five bottles of your “ Golden Medical Discovery,” and in four months I was myself again. I could not sleep on my left side, and now I can sleep and eat heartily. So long as I have your medicines on hand I have no need of o doctor: Ido not think my house in order without them. Yours truly, Marlow, Baldwin Co., Ala If it would be any more convincing, we could easily fill the columns of this paper with letters testifying to tho cure of the severest diseases of the throat, bronchia and lungs, by the use of “Golden Medical Discovery.” To build up solid flesh and strength after the grip, pneumonia, (“lung fever”), exhausing fevers, and other prostrating diseases, it has no equal. It does not make fat likecoa liver oil and its nasty compounds, but solid, wholesome flesh. A complete treatise on Throat, Bronchial, and Lung Diseases; also including Asthma, and Chronic Nasal Catarrh, and pointing out successful means of home treatment for these maladies, will be mailed to any address by the World’* Dispensary Medical Association of Buffalo, N.

HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.

Growing Popularity of tho Oxford Sewing Machines. There is nothing more truly a household treasure than a good sewing machine. To be without it is to be willfully deprived of the immense advantage of one of tho greatest of all inventions. A machine aonce bought is a perpetual treasure. It demands no wages, occasions no expenso or trouble and is always ready ivithout a moment’s notice to render the work of the laborious housewife tenfold more efficient and expeditious. Some machines combine the best ideas and suggestions which have been so abundantly introduced in this remarkable mechanism. A machine which exhibits in liberal combination all the best features introduced is the Oxford Improved Sewing Machine, made by the Oxford Manufacturing Company, Chicago, description and cut of which can be seen in the advertising columns of this paper. They make high and low arm machines, with lock-stitch shuttln.running light and quiet. These machines have the following Important features r Cheapness (ranging from $10.50 upward;) perfect, almost self-adjusting and graduated tension; are under of the operator, and are always posit v •. in their working. They are entirely so.fthreading in all points, including the shuttle. Tho needle is self-setting, and the attachments are quickly and easily placed and fastened. The shuttle has an easy oscillating motion, causing it to keep ts proper place against the race. Their Oxford, Home and Columbia Machines, with attachments, were awarded the medal pr emium at the World’s Columbian Exposition, Chicago. Black Beauty, tho autobiography of a horse, is the name of a recent tale of whoa.

Wo feel sore from stiffened limbs, and many go tottering around with lame backs. Mr. Harry Williams, Greenville, Cal., under oath writes on this subject as follows: “A lady suffered so severely with pains in the back for two days that she could not sit up. One application of St. Jacobs Oil gave the sufferer a good night’s rest, and In tho morning she was j well.” That was charming.
