Y. —1 do not know how to express my heartfelt thanks to you for the benefit I have received from using your Swamp-Root Kidney Liver and Bladder Cure. lam now 63 years old, and have suffered almost death for about three years. I hud given up to die, but as I profess to be a Christian man and a great be liever in the prayer of the righteous, i prayed that God would send something that would prolong my life, and I feel thankful to Hiin and you for the meuus that was sent. May God spare your life many years yet that you may hear the groat good that your medicine is doing. On the 20th day of August, 1891, Mr. Frank Lawson. your agent at Bpenoer. persuaded me to take a bottle on trial. I haya taken three bottles and it has brought out of my bladder lime or gravel, which I have saved in quantity the size of a gooso egg and I now leel like a new man. May God bless you and your medicine. I remain your humble servant, Box 273. GEORGE C. CRADICK. SECOND LETTER. DEAR DOCTOR —I take great pleasure in answering your letter, which I received to day. You say "you would like to publish my testimonial in jour Guide to Health for a while." I have no objections at all for I wont to do all in my power for afflicted hu manity . 1 send by this mail a Jot of the Gravel (about one-half of what I saved) that the Swamp-Root dissolved and expelled from my bladder. Two years ago last September I was taken with pain almost all over me, my head and back, my legs and feet became cold, would get sick at my stomach and vomit often, suffering a great deal from chills and at times these were so severe that I thought I would freeze to death. The condition of my urine was not so bad through the day, but during the night, at times, 1 had to get up every hour, and often every half hour. Woulri urinate sometimes a gallon a night, then it seemed my kidneys and back wftild kill me. 1 had been troubled with consti pation for many years, but since using your liSwamp-Root have been better than for a long time. The medicine has helped my appetite wondoriullv and it seems as though A could not eat enough. 1 live about six miles in the country from Gosport. 1 was born and raised here, and have been a member of the M. E. Church for i'orty-two years. Pardon ine for writing so much for I fool that I would never get through praising your great remedy for Kidney, Liver and Bladder troubles. Your true friend, Those who try Swamp-Root have gener ally first employed the family physician, or used all the prescriptions within their reach without benefit. As a last resort, when their case has become chronic, the symptoms com plicated and their constitution run down, then they take this remedy, and it is just such cases and cures as the one above that have made Swamp-Root famous and given it a world-wide reputation.

Queer Episodes and Thrilling Adven tures Which Show that Truth Is Stranger than Fiction. THE Kansas "wolf-drive" is a groat in stitution, for it satisfies the natural craving of man to kill something without exposing himself to danger, and it is therefore exceedingly popular. In the townships of Walnut, Sherman, Grant, and Crawford wolves and foxes, which multiply alarmingly fast, have been driven by the severe cold this winter to acts of depredation surprising for their boldness and ferocity. The farmers have risou up and organized for the pur pose of clearing the country of the four footed raiders. Upwards of 4,000 men engage in the wolf-drive, and they beat over a tract ten miles squaro. The affair is conducted with military exactnoss and discipline. A general is chosen, and ho in turn picks out his staff and battalion and company commanders. The signal for starting is a fusillade of shots tired by the loaders of each squad. With 1,000 men on each side of the square there aro 100 men to the mile, or ono at intervals of about fifty feet. The lines are supposed to move ono mile each half hour. Every man has a horn or a drum, and his instructions are to make as much noise as ho can. Wolves aro not to bo killed until rounded up in the common centre. They may bo clubbed into a run if necessary. At a distance of ono mile from the centre tho roport of a can non announces that tho battle is about to begin, and tho forces aro aligned and put in readiness. Only such of the hunters as are designated by the general carry iireurms;the others aro armed with clubs to prevent the boasts from escaping. A great number of wolves aro often rounded up, and when the word is given they are picked off by the appointed sharp shooters. While tho "drive" is the oc casion for a good deal of fun, killing is tho business of the day, and the best marksmen attend to this. A STORY of heroism is told among tho usually prosaic announcements of tho London Gazette in explanation of the ser vices for which tho Queen has conferred the decoration of the Albert medal of tho second class on George Hoar, boatman of the Tynemouth Coastguard Station. On tho occasion of the wreck of tho schooner Peggy during a severe gale with a very heavy sea, after four men had been rescued from tho wreck by means of the rocket apparatus, tho Cap tain of tho Peggy informed tho chief officer of the coastguard that thero was another man still on board the wreck in a disabled state, ho having fallen out of tho rigging on to tho deck of tho vessel in attempting to get into tho brooches buoy. George Hoar immediately volun teered to go off to tho wreck and bring tho man on shore and was hauled off to tho wreck, a distanco of one hundred and fifty yards, through tho heavy sea in face of a tremendous galo from the southoast. lie found on arriving at tho vessel that ho could not roach tho man owing to tho hawsor having been secured fourteen foot above the dock (whore tho man lay helpless and iu an unconscious state), lie then signaled to bo hauled on shore again, to confer with tho chief offi cer; shortly afterward ho was again haulod off, and on reaching tho wreck tho hawser was eased so as to allow him (in breeches buoy) to roach tho man on deck. As the man was perfectly help less Goorgo Hoar, with his legs seized tho man round tho body and hold him with both hands by his coat collar, and in this manner tho two men woro safoly hauled on shore, the soa at tiinos wash ing complotoly ovor them. TUB Juniata Valley Sentinol says that on ono of tho cold mornings during tho cold spell a large hawk pounced upon one of Benjamin 1 labor's tamo ducks that at tho time were in a pool of frosh, unfrozen water in the canal bod a short distanco beyond tho " third lock" at Ma cedonia, Penn. Tho hawk fastened its claws around the neck of tho fowl next to its body, but tho duck was in doep water, and. true to its nutdro, it ducked and drew the hawk with it under the water. Again the duck dove, which was too much for his hawkship. The hawk reloasoil its hold on tho duck and with difficulty Hopped its way to tho shore. The weather was cold and frozo tho feathers of the hawk togother so that it could not by. William 1 labor was a wit ness of the capture and oscupo game be tween the hawk and duck, and when it was all over ho took a hand at tho gamo by capturing tho hawk, tho hawk's feather's boiug so frozen togother that it could not fly away. Tho bird meas ured .'1 foot l> inches from tho tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing. ALTHOUGH Alfonso, tho lato King of Spain, died six years ago, his body is stijl unburi. d. Clothed only in a simple linon garmont, tho corpso rests on a slab of rock near a running stream, in a cavern of tho mountain on which the Es curial Palace is built, twenty-five miles from Mudrid. Thero the body is des tined to r main until it becomes natur ally mummified; then it will bo reverent ly placed in the jasper vault under tho dome of tho Escurial Church, wherein ro poso all tho sovereigns of Spuin since Charles V., in niches. No body is placed in this vftijjt unfH ab moisture is evapor ated—unlil it is as JrjT as a munifny. Tho body of Queen Isabella's father re mained on the stono slab twenty-five years before it was sufficiently dry to bo romoved to tho Escurial jaspor vault. THIS story of a capture of hibernating bears comes from the State of Washing ton. It is rclatod by two citizens of Skipanon who saw tho beasts in captiv ity: Their owners said that in cutting down one of tho giant spruce-trees com mon to that region, ho discovered that one part of it was hollow, und, looking into the cavity, ho made out three slum bering boars. Thereupon ho nailed "slabs" of wood across the hole, and sawod off from the main trunk tho section of tree in which tho boars were housed. This ho started down tho mountain-side in tho usual fushion, and tho novel cage and its contents arrived safely at tho bottom. Tho bears, which uro in a state of semi-torpor are now on exhibition. MMK. ANASTASIO RESEAUX, a French woman, has died at tho ago, it is said, of one hundred and eighteen years, near Kischenau, or Kicheney, a town of Bessarabia. Tho venerable damo, who had so long weathered the world and tho climate of Russia, had been for many years Superintendent of a School for tho tho Daughters of tho Nobility, retired with a pension from her position at tho of ninety-two. She had ontored tho school as a teacher when it was founded during tho reign of Alexander I. For the past twonty-six years Mine, licsoaux was iu a homo for tho aged, and enjoyed excellent health despite her advanced and exceptional age. A FAMOUS English beauty, Lady Lon donderry, has a peculiar and successful system for keeping her youthful fresh ness. Although sho is perfectly well she lios in bed one day In ten, sleeping in the morning of this day of rsst until she wakens naturally. After a hot bath and a light breakfast she goos back to bod and rests ouiotly in a darkened room un til 6 o'clock, when she dresses in a peig noir, dines in her room, and sits about idly until 10 o'clock, when sho goes to bod again. No Bocial event is considered of sufficient importance to cause the lady to give up this periodical retirement from the hurry and excitement of modern liv ing. W. A. HOPKINS, of Blackinton, Mass., while walking in the woods above the town ono day recently, found tho snow filled with myriads of small scarlet worms. .Several acres were covorod with them, and they were so numerous they gavo the snow a crimson tinge. Hopkins brought a number of the worms to North Adams. Tho wrigglers wore about throe-eighths of an inch long and as bril liant in color as cochineal. Tho worms were found after a brisk snow fall, and it is thought to have beon ono of those naturul phenomena known as a blood storm. ! THE little daughter of Rov. Mr. llanis, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Cattlcttsburg, Ivy., diod a short timo ago of spinal meningitis. A I series of meetings had boon in progress, in which tho little girl, seven years of ago, had been taking active part. The night before her death sho told tho church that sho had been greatly blessed during tho meeting. Next morning tho little girl told her mother that sho would die at twelve o'clock. The little one took sick, and at 12:30 o'clock died. This is tho third child that has diod in the family giving tho parents forewarning of death. THERE is in Missouri a lako, perched 011 top of a mountain, its surface from f)0 to 100 feet below tho level of tho earth surrounding it fed by no surface stream, untouched by tho wind, dead as tho .Son of Sodom.

PAUL MCCORMICK, a wealthy resident of Montana, who is known by the proud title of tho big white chief of Yellowstone county, declares in all sincerity that he will drive a four-in-hand team or elks through the streets and parks of Chicago at tho World's Fair. A Mr. Marshall, of Hozemuti, Mont., possesses a fine herd of thirty elk, which he has boon exhibit ing through tho State. Mr. McCormick boughf tho entire herd, and two tamo antelopes in addition, paying $75 a head for tho oik and SSO each for tho anto lopes. The elk aro very fine speoimens. Mr. MoCormick will establish a game park on his property at Fort Custer and will train the elk for driving.

Ho was very much amused at a comic song ho hoard a fow days ago, and lie laughed very hearti ly. Soon his laughter became uncon trollable, and at tho end of an hour ho was so completely exhausted that ho bo caino insensible. His laughing did not resemble hysterics. All efforts to rouse him were vain, und at last reports it was thought ho would die. A NOVEL experiment iu surgery has beon performed at Washington, 1). C., by Surgoon-Genoral Hammond. Two pieces of bone, each about two and a half inches long by ono inch wide, wore taken from tho head of an imbecile. l)r. Hammond holds that tho man's imbecil ity is duo to tlio fact that tho brain is too large for its receptaclo, and that by giv ing It room for expansion reason may be restored. Some time must elapso before tho result will ho manifest, hut so far the operation has boon successful, and tho patient is doing woll. The doctor is very hopeful of success. A PARTY of li(inters iii Colorado killod throe mountain lions recently in a now, improved, and comparatively safo way. Their dogs drove the lions under a ledge of rock and kept them there while the hunters dug down into the cavo from above. When they had an opening to where the lions wore a rifle was pushed through. The muzzle was gripped sav agoly in the jaws of one of the lions and the gun was discharged. The other two lions grabbod tho ritie in turn as it was withdrawn and poked in again, and each was killed by bullets through tho head. A RETIKKD farmer numod Babcock, of Roborough, England, killed his cat, und, having skinned it, cut oft* its head, tail and feet, sold it to a neighbor named Isaac as a rabbit for sixpence. Isaac hud tho animal cooked and ho und his family partook of it. On subsequently boingtold that it wusacat, Isaac and his wife became ill, us ho said, from the thought of it. Ho charged Bibcock with obtaining the sixpence under false pro tense, but tho magistrate dismissed the case.

The Boss Snake Story. A farmer of Marion County says lus has a snake which swallowed an eight day clock in August, 1887. Until the clock run down it struck regular and its ticking could be heard. A short time ago the farmer found somo eggs which had boon deposited in a hole by the rep tile, and on breaking them open found that each contained an opon-raee watch in first-class running order. Ho sold the watches ait a big profit and has now given the snake a post auger, in the hope that it will produce sufficient cork-screws to enable him to start a wholesale drug store. —[Dubuque (Iowa) Ledger. LOItE ABOUT HORX4. Queer Facts About These Animal Ap pendages. "There are a good muny queer things to bo told about horns," said Osteologist Lucas to a Washington Star writor. "Take the horn of the rhinocerous, for example. It is nothing more than a pro tuberance composed of agglutinated huir. You cut it in two, und examining its structure under the microscope, you find that it is made up entirely of little tubes resembling hair tubes. Of course those tubes are not themselves hairs, but the structure is the sarno. The horns of African rhinoceros somotimos grow to the length of four feet. From them the Dutch Boers make ramrods and other articles. You may remember that the handle of the ax used by Umslopogans in 'Allan Quartermain' was a rhinoceros horn. In old times rhinoceros horns wore employed for drinking cups by royal personages, the notion being that poison put into them would show itself by bub bling. There may have boon some truth iin the idea, inasmuch as many of the | ancient poisons wore acids and they ! would decompose the horny material I very quickly. | "Several species of rhinoceroses, now t extinct and only found in a fossil state, | used to exist which had no horns at all. The name, mcuning as it doos 'horned | nose,' is rather a misnomer in their case. I Several kinds of rhinocoros in Africa I have two horns, one behind the other, but ' the extinct rhinoceros, known us the ' dyceratherium, had a pair of horns on its nose side by side. Many of the giant : reptiles of long ago had enormous horns. I The groat lizard known as the tricoratops I had a big horn over each eyo and a little ono on its nose. The dinocoras and the tinoceras, gigautic mammals of the torti ary epoch, had three pairs of prominen ces on their heads which aro believed to have supported horns. However, the material of which horn is oomposed quickly decays, being largely composed of gelatine and other animal inattor, so that these appendages aro apt to be i found absent when too fossil bones of beasts which had them aro found. " Some fishes have horns which are actuully outgrowths of bono on their houds. Tho box-fish, which inhabits the warm waters of tho globe—a little fellow six or eight inches long—has horns an inch in length. Birds liuvo horns also somotimos. The liornod screamer (which is relatod to the duck) has a single horn attached to its skull, springing from a cartilaginous base and growing upward. It is really u modified l'oathcr, though a true horn. " Plenty of reptilos have horns. Liz ards uro very commonly provided with thein. Thcro are chameleons with three horns, like tho ancient triceratops. Horned toads have a sort of crest of four horns on tho back of their hoads. There is a small African snake which has two horns. No horned tortoises now exist, but a fossil specimen was found a while ago on Lord Howe's Island in tho south ern Pacific which had four horns on its crest and resembled a cross between a horned toad and a snapping turtle. Doubtless you have often hoard of hu man beings with horns. Such append ages in their case uro abnormal develop ments of bono." Nup for the Brain* In private conversation one day last week one of Chicago's oldest and most learned physicians gave uttoranoe to the following: "Why is it that when we see a person gazing fixedly for several moments at a cortain point on the floor or in tho street wo say ho or alio is thinking about some thing? Nine times in ten a person thus j engagod—or rather disengaged— is not ! thinking of anything. At such moments, if you only knew it, tho mind is napping and there is 110 thought. Probably 0110 of tho oldest fads, and it seems to bo nothing more, consists of persons, when at such times they are askod what they're doing, saying, 'Thinking hard!' "Jll tho largo majority of cases, when a person is thinking hard or intently, tho eye roams from one object to another, and tho hands are moving more or less. "Tho busiest, hardest-working brain in tho country insists 011 taking momen tary naps several times a day. Just be fore dropping off into one of these naps the mind commands tho oyo to fix itself upon somo one objoct and stay, thus insuring tho holding of tho head and every part of the body quiet. Then tho mind catches its little nap. Theso little mind naps or flashes of rest may never be more than twenty seconds long, and yet thoy have been discovered to do tho mind a wonderful amount of good. They 110vor come to the deranged mind, and it has also been discovered that the supposedly sound mind which does not take them is on tho verge of insanity."— Chicago Tribune. Sitomaiiiu. The most rare as well as the most in* foresting food abnormality, or intemper ance, from a psychological point of view, is that which for want of a better name I shall call sitomania. .Soino such dotinition as the following may be ap plied to it: "A mania occurring period ically, characterized by loss of volition and an overwhelming desiro to partake of food to an unliinitod extent, followed by remorse, depression, and tendency to puicido." In many respects thin form of diseaso resembles the now well known and defined diseaso dipsomania. In both thero are intervals, often prolonged, during which an entirely normal stato prevails; thero is 110 unduo desire in tho 0110 case for excoss of food, in the other case for drink. Then, often suddenly, thero ensuos a wholly uncontrollable de siro in tho one case for a food gorge, in tho other for a drink excess: in both tho essence of the disease is the secrotive ness with which tho orgy is conducted; thero also ensues in both, when the orgy is over, the same feeling of intense de pression and remorse, and in some cases a tendency to suicide. The sitomuniac adopts much tho same means of gratify ing his desires as those adopted by the dipsomaniac. When the attack is im pending ho, a gentleman of high honor at all other times, will condescend to acts of indescribablo meanness and decoit; ho will rob his best friends, indulge in potty pilfering, even sell tho clothes off his back, and reduco himself to absolute poverty to find means for this morbid in dulgence in food.—[Tho Lancet.

The satellite nearest to the planet Jupiter must be a singular place of residence, if there be any possibility of residents at all resembling human beings. In the tirst place, though it it is bigger than our own moon, the substance of which it is composed is less than half as light as cork, so that it is not a very solid place of residence. In the next place, though the sun appears very dim from it as compared with what it appears from the earth, it has a moon —namely, Jupiter it self—whoso surface appears many hundreds of times larger than our moon. In the third place, the recent ob servations made of this satellite by Mr. Barnard in the great Liek Obser vatory make it not improbable that this satellite is really cut in two, and that, therefore, there may be two separate little worlds, probably not separated by any great distance (for the total diameter of the two together, if there, be two divisions of the satel lite, which was always supposed till quite recently to bo single, is not above 2,.'100 miles across) revolving together through space, some even of the details of one of which worlds must be visible from the other, if there be anything like telescopes on cither half. Ilf the satellite, is not cut in two Mr. Barnard holds that there must lie a light licit round it, much like the light licit on Jupiter itself, and that this light belt produces the impres sion of division under certain cir cumstances of the orbit. We may hope that the Lick Observatory will at length solve the problem. Per haps the residents of the two halves of the planet, if it be in halves, can really telegraph to each other. California.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper fect bearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflam mation can La taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by CAtarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure, bend for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo. O.
