M KS A harao'eristic which U ths espec ial maik of Benjamin 1'. Butler i his fertility of resources and expedients. People know this mainly through the fact that in his Uw practice he is so often able to find some ll.iw or some crevice through which to extract a client whose case would be almost hopeless in the hands of anybody else. But this ability to "find a way ... . . . ' . ... out ' has marked his whole life even from bovhood, any one who reads his book will be struck by it. In every dilticulty, even though he might not adopt the prescribed and rop.r sohi- . . tmn, he always was aliic to make one of some sort. This is well shown in his adventure on the shoals off Cape Ilaltcras, when bound for New Or- leins during the civil war. Owing to the carelessness or treach ery ol his ship captain, his transport steamer, the Mississippi, ran heavily upon the shoals. She had several regiments of soldiers on board, and a storm was coming on. The shore was a dozen miles away and the boats were sufficient to take olT only a very small part of those on board. The captain was a traitor and the mate a "dote," as Butler says in hii forthcom ing book, and there was no one on board who knew what to do. An anchor had been dropped, but the vessel rolled upon it smashing a great hole in her bottom. Luckily the ship had water tight compartments, but the water poured in so rapidly that it soon Idled the forward compartments up to the sea level. The lives of hundreds of men were dependent upon the immediate action of a man who knew nothing whatever of seamanship. Butler ordered out a company of soldiers, with instructions to shoot the first man who tried to lower a boat, lie set others at work by lightning the vessel by throwing overboard every thing in the order in which it could best be spared. The ship was lying at right angles with the shore and he sent men out in boats to find channels by sounding and to mark it by anchoring pork barrels from which he had emptied the poik. He kept a solid body of men running back and forth the whole length of the vessel in order to keep her rocking so that she might not settle in the sand. te found out by the nautical almanac just when the tide would serve. When after anxious hours, he knew the tide to be at its height, he ordered every sail set, and the instant they were sheeted home, he gave the word for the engine to be started at full speed. The ship had been resting part way over a narrow shoal. The combined force ot sail and steam drove her a a few feet farther on, and then the weight of her water logged prow broke down the bank of sand and she slid forward into deep water. Such heartfelt cheers as went up Butler says he never heard before or since. We've heard of a woman who said she'd walk five miles to get a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription if she couldn't get it without. That woman had tried it. And it's a medi cine which makes itself felt in toning up the system and correcting irregular ites as soon as its use is begun. Go to your drug store, pay a dollar, get a bottle and try it try a second, a third if necessary. Before the third one's been taken you'll know that there's a remedy to help you. Then you'll keep on and a cure'U come. But if you shouldn't feel the help, should be dis appointed in the results you'll find a guarantee printed on the bottle-wrapper that'll get your money back for you, . t . .. How many women are there who'd rather have the money ' than health ? And "favorite Prescription" produces health. Wonder is that there's a woman willing to suffer when there's a guaranteed., remedy in the nearest drug store. Dr. Pierce's Pellets regulate the Stomach, Liver and Bowels.. Mild and effective.

How the Pyramids Were Built A moneyed man, who was looking yesterday at the process of laying an artificial stone pavement in front of one of his many properties, startled the friends who were standing about him by remarking: "I believe that the F.gyptian pyramids were built in just that way." Pressed for an expla nation, he said that while he had never been in Egypt he had read the works of all Egyptologists, including Brugsch and Piazzi Smyth, and had never found in any of them a theory which would satisfactorily account for the manner in which the pyramids were construct ed. 'Now," he said, '"you must re member that the pyramids are built of stone which bears no resemblance to anything found within five hundred miles of their location. It is incredi ble that the Egyptians of four or five thousand years ago should have pos sessed the mechanical ingenuity to move these enormous blocks of stone from the granite quarries of Abyssinia or Syrja to the pyramids. Is it not much more natural to suppose that the ancient Egyptians possessed the secret of making artificial stone, and that the pyramids were constructed by layer upon layer of Nile River mud, harden ed by just such processes as we em ploy to make artificial stone ? It is a much more plausible explanation of their construction than the laborious and unintelligent suppositions that the stones were carried across the desert to form the foundation and base of the pyramids. I fairly believe that the Egyptians of the ante-Christian era understood the manufacture of artificial stone, and that they built the pyramids out of it." Strength and Health.
