Swallowed a Needle and Died.

A tailor accidentally swallowed a needle and died as a result of the inflammation. Little things frequently have great power, as is seen in a few doses of the famous Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which, however, haAan entirely different effect. The Bitters make nervous, weak and sickly persons strong and well again.

Indestructible Fire-Proof Brick.

A combination of clays has been hit upon that will produce an absolutely indestructible fire-proof brick. It haa been subjected to a white heat that will melt solid rock and Iron, and, thuogh wholly submerged In such a fire for a long time, it came out wholly unaffected. A thousand ordinary firebrick will weigh three or four tons, while bricks made from this combination of clays wHI only weigh about one-sixth as much. This is an importaht discovery, and it will not be long until there will be a big demand for fire-brick to line smelter furnaces, etc., in treating mine ores.

A. B. & O. S. W. Promotion.

Mr. Riley came to the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railway from the C., C., C. & St. L. Railway about a year ago and haa earned his promotion by meritorious services.

AMERICAN GAME PICTURES.

For Decoration of Homes. Probably at no time in the world’s history has as much attention been paid to the interior decoration ot homes as at present. No home, no matter how humble, is without its handiwork that helps to beautify the apartments and make the surroundings' more cheerkil. The taste ot the American people has kept pace with the age, and almost every day brings forth something new in the way of a picture, a draping, a piece of furniture or other form of mural decoration. * One of the latest of these has been given to the world by the celebrated artist, Muvilie, in a series of four handsome porcelain gams plaques. Not for years has anything as handsome in this line been seen. The subjects represented by these plaques are American wild ducks, American pheasants, American quail and English snipe. They are handsome paintings and are especially designed for hanging on dining room walls, though their richness and beauty entitles them to a place in the parlor of any home. These original plaques have been purchased at a cost of 160,000 by J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers of the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in order to enable their numerous customers to become possessors of these handsome works of art they have had them reproduced by a special process, in all the ri<eh colors and beauty of the original. They are finished on heavy cardboard, pressed and embossed in the shape of a plaque and trimmed with a heavy band of gold. They measure forty inches In circumference and contain no reading matter or advertisement whatever. Until Oct. 1 Messrs. J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co. propose to distribute these plaques free to their customers. Every purchaser of three ten-cent packages of Elastic Starch, flatiron brand, manufactured by J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive one of these handsome plaques free from their grocer. Old and new customers alike are entitled to the benefits of this offer. These plaques will not be sent through the mail, the only way to ohtaln them being from your grocer. Every grocery store in the country has Elastic Starch for sale. It is the oldest and best laundry starch on the market and is the most perfect cold process starch ever Invented. It is the only starch made by men who thoroughly understand the laundry business, and the only starch that will nbt injure the finest fabric. It has boen the standard for a quarter of a century and as an evidence of how good it is twenty-two million packages were sold last yea*. Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and tell you about Elastic Starch. Accept no substitute. Bear in mind that this offer holds good a short time only and should be taken advantage of without delay.

A Solt Answer.

No man is better known or more generally beloved In the city In which he lives than Prof. Adam Hendershott. His conversation Is quite devoid of bitterness. Only once was he ever known ti say anything Indicating even the slightest trace of 111 temper. Traveling townward on a suburban trolley line to call upon a friend, he asked the conductor to transfer him to the city street cars at a certain point. Soon afterward the car stopped, and he was surprised to see outside the very friend he was seeking. He started to leave the car, but the conductor accosted him. “You can’t change for your car here,” he said, brusquely. “Go back!” The professor passed him, taking no notice. “Can’t change cars here, I tell you,” snapped the conductor again. Prof. Hendershott, deep in conversation with his friend, merely waved his hand to signify that the car might go on without him. “Here, you old Jay!” cried the man Flth the brass buttons, angrily; “don’t tell you that you can’t change cars at this station?” Tjie good old professor answered with severity: “But I can change my mind at this station, can’t I?”—oYuth’s Companion.

Queen and Poet.

Tennyson was a man of such great personal independence that his honest eccentricities sometimes approached quite near to rudeness. But that there was no flavor of snobbery in his indifference to formalities, and that be was As likely to offend a prince as a workingman, is proved by many occurrences In the poet’s life. Dr. Ma? Muller relates that the late Queen of Holland frequently came to England, and was fond of meeting, while there, distinguished literary people. On one occasion she lunched with Dean Stanley, and asked him to invite several literary men, among whom were Tennyson, Lord Houghton, Huxley and Max Muller himself. Luncheon was ready, and everybody had come to the deanery except Tennyson. Dean Stanley suggested that the party should wait no longer, but the queen refused to sit down before the laureate’s arrival. There was another period of waiting, painful to all the company. Finally some one suggested that probably Tennyson was “mooning about in the clusters somewhere;” one was sent to see, and the poet was Indeed found there, apparently oblivious that anything was going on. He was brought in, and placed at the table next the Queen of the Netherlands. The queen took the conversation into her own hands, and In particular tried to draw Tennyson out. He was not in talking mood. She addressed him a question. “Yes, ma’am," he answered. Then there was another question. “No, ma’am,” came from Tennyson. Again she asked his opinion about something; the question was not susceptible of answer by “yes” or “no.” "Ma’am,” said Tennyson, after a great effort, “there is a great deal to be said on both sides of the question!”, Presently he turned and whispered to Max Muller, “I wish they had put some of you talking fellows next to Regina!”

TO MRS. PINKHAM

From Mrs. Walter E. Budd, of Patohogrue, New York. Mrs. Budd, in tho following letter, tells a familiar story of weakness and suffering, and thanks Mrs. Pinkham for complete relief: “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—l think it is

ed me terribly. I could not sleep for the pain. Plasters would help for a while, but as soon as taken off, the pain would be just as bad as ever. Doctors prescribed medicine, but it gave me no relief. “ Now I feel so well and atrong, have no more headaches, and no pain in side, and it is all owing to your Compound. I cannot praise it enough. It is a wonderful medicine. I recommend it to every woman I know.”

The Philippine Natives.

However lacking in Intelligence the natives of the Philippines generally may be, they could not with truth be characterized as savages. There are in the Philippines between 0,000,000 and 9,000,000 people—probably about 7,600,000. Nearly half this number Inhabit Luzon, the principal Island of the group. The Tagals of Luzon are a copper-colored people, aud, like all people of the Malay family, are short of stature. These Tagals are the most advanced and Influential element In the whole population of the islands. There are a great many very Intelligent and ambitious men among them—men who got their start in the schools established by the monastic friars whose political domination furnishes one of the many grievances which have given rise to the present insurrection. The Tagals are as industrious as the Chinese and Japanese, and more easily controlled and less criminally disposed than the latter. That they are entirely amenable to discipline when they have confidence in and respect for their leaders and advisers is evidenced by the fact U»at for over a year ( Jen. Emilio Agulnftldo, their acknowledged leader, was able to maintain good order and comparatively good discipline among his 40,000 to 60,000 followers, and under circumstances where chaos and disorder would be the most nntural condition. I ms* pot a sentimentalist—not the sort of man to go Into ecstasies of delight over the profuse politeness and kotowing of the Japanese but I have observed In the leading men and women a charmingly courteous manner. Such characteristics as rudeness, assumption or boisterousness are entirely lacking In their temperament.—Review of Reviews.

HEROES OF WAR.

of 161 Sedgwick Street, Chicago. He is an Auetrian by birth, came to America at the age of twenty, and soon became an American citizen. He was living at Milwaukee when the call for v o 1 u nteers came, early in 1862, and

He received a wound.

he promptly enlisted in Company A, of the Twenty-sixth Wisconsin Volunteers. In the Army of the Potomac our hero saw much fighting, campaigning in the Shenandoah Valley. In the first day’s fighting at the battle of Gettysburg, Schifreneaer recoivod a wound in the right side, which afterward caused him much trouble. With a portion of his regiment he was captured and imprisoned at Bell Island and Audersonville, and afterward exchanged. He returned to his regiment, which was transferred to the array of General Sherman, and marched with him through Georgia to tike sea. In this campaign Mr. Sohiffender’s old wound began to trouble him and he was sent to the hospital ana then home* He had also contracted catarrh of the stomach and found no relief for years. “I happened to read an account of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People about a year ago,” he said, “and thought that they might be good for my trouble. I concluded to try them. I bought one box and began to take them according to directions. They gave me great relief. After finishing that box I bought another, and when I had taken the pills I felt that I was cured.”
