A fanner named Pettis recently went fox hunting over the lango near nil: mountain. Hearing his dog barking loudly on the opposite side of the mountain, he went tlune, thinking he had bagged some lntgp animal To his astonishment he dleovtid that a dog hud ut bav a man on Ihe edge of a laige totk above The man was of giant mould, with Ion-? hair and whisk eis. Ills tlothlng appeared to be made of bkins and patches of cloth In his hand he can led a lonar, c looked cane. He wore no hat His sleeves weie worn almost to ilbbons, leaving his aims e.x-po-ed. When Farmet PettU addressed the Btranuer he ausweicd with an un lutelllgibli ylbbetlsh, and llnally began to veil. Tho stianger then tllmbed the rocks and was lost to view In a road used by teamsterb.

Wo used nil the external ap plications that wo could think or hear of, to no iiv all. Tho sores spread all over ono side of his face. We consulted a physi cian and tried his medicine, and in a week the soro was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous look ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It grew worso and worse, and when ho was tbreo months old, I began giving him Hood's Sarsaparilla. I also took Hood's Sarsaparllla, and before tho first bottle was finished, trio sores were well and have never returned. He is now four years old, but ho has never had any sign of those scrofulous sores slnco ho was cured by Hood's Bursaparilia, for which I feel very grateful.

WHOLLY UNPHEMUDlTATLiD. Some of thu fellows hereabouts who nre yelling the loudest for war have for yeais been shrieking against pen sions. Singular, Isn't It? Somebody hnr remarked that the un expected never happens. There are al wnys people around who knew things would turn out that way. Men often have nn Idea that they are good because they nre not any worse than usual. Some weather poet writes' Don't count upon tho robin To Improve the weather tropj Rut put fnlth In thn urthln Who gets out and spins his top. When you hear n man perpetually denouncing othins as dishonest, It Is quite safe to wilte him down as a Knave As people have honesty In themselves, they have confidence in others.

Tarnier AVoodbildge, of Heirlck, has a hen with a fondness for setting. Last Cctolcr the hen had an Idea that some winter thickens would be nice, but Mrs Woodbrldge had a contrary opin ion, and falthfullv took every egg out of the nest as soon i?s they were laid. After a while some stiange-looklng egg Acre seen In the box, and tho lauuei'rt wife, out of curiosity, allowed them to leinaln. Some weeks later Mts Woodbrldge one morning heard an unusual nolbe In the hennery and hurrying out to Investigate, she was horrified to see a dozen little snakes In the box. Tho nen had can led tho eirg. one by ono, fiom tno woods and patiently hatched them out. For a few days the hen appealed to be pleabed with her stiange brood, but ono day bhe fell upon them ami debtiojed them all Bid ly Is now s-ettinp upon a few door knobs and chunks of coal. What'll the hnivtst be? THIS AND THAT ARE THOSE. Dr C. It Newton, lite of Montiose, has entered upon the practice of medi cine In Susquehanna.

His i da tives In New York, en the evening of the wedding, wired: "The whole Damm family send congratulations." Susquehanna has pedrophobla In a cluonlj form.

A cone.spondent ot the Detiolt Free Press i elates a peculiar o.xpen lenco that happened to a ft lend of his duilng a btay In Burma: We weie slttlne on the veranda of our bungalow one evening, enjoying our after-dinner cheroot, rinally my friend atose and sauntered Into his bed room. Usually lights were placed in all the bedrooms, but this evening; for borne reason probably the moonlight the servant had not performed his duties. I could hear my friend fumbling about his dressing-table, and then suddenly he gave a cry of horror and rushed out to the light. "I have been struck by a snake," he gasped, and his face was deadly pale. "Where Is it? Qulckl Show me!" I exclaimed, as I whipped out a knife. He held out his light arm Thete was no mark on the hand, which I ex amined ctltlcally, but on the cuff ot the shirt were two tiny scratch-like punctures, and two little globules of poison sinking into the starched linen and leaving, a sickly, greenish-yellow mark, "You've had a close call, old man," I exclaimed, with a sigh of relief; "and now let us settlo the snake." Wo found him colled up on a small mirror, which lav on the table, and an ugly-looking reptile he was, too, ready to strike again. Ho wan a vety poisonous snake, known as the Deboac Russelll, but after my friend had done with him It would have been difficult for any naturalist to have placed him In his pioper genus. THE MARKETS.
