THE PRESIDENT Of the City Council, Wilkes barre, Pa., Cured of Rheumatism. Col. Wm. J. Harvey, a president of Wilkesbarre's city council, who will long be remembered for his great work for the city, was once a mere physical wreck, torn In every muscle and nerve from the frightful pains caused by rheu matism. lie consulted the best phy sicians, wont abroad, took mud baths, and almost every known treatment fur the disease. One of the city officials had had a very similar experience and Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy had cured him, so he recommended this great kidney medicine to his friend, and Col. Harvey is today a well man, hale and hearty. In his own abrupt way he states his case: DR. DAVID KENNEDY, Dear Sir:—This to certify that I was permanently cured of rheuma tism by the use of Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy. WM. J. HARVEY. Nothing could be more direct or more to the point than this simple statement. Rheumatism is but another name for uric acid poisoning which is caused pri marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your kidneys and the rheumatism disappears. For all diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep sia and chronic constipation, as well as slknesses peculiar to women, Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is unques tionably the greatest medicine known to the medical profession.

An elderly woman with an impedi ment in her speech had troul les of her own at the corner of Twelfth and Walnut streets the other day. As each ear came out Walnut street she would stop it and say to the conductor, "Dud dud dud-docs th-this kuk-kuk-car gug gug-go"— At this juncture, and some times before, the conduct r would im patiently exclaim, "No; take the next car." Then he would pull the strap, and the car would go ahead, leaving the won\nn at the crossing. There are five different lines passing out Walnut street at this point, and if the woman could read the signs she disregarded tliem. Finally a conductor more considerate than the others help ed her aboard and allowed her to ex plain afterward. After three blocks had been traversed he found that she wanted to go to Darby, and his was a Darby car. When she learned this, she beamed licr joy. "Yuh-yuh .young man," she said, "yuh-.vuh-youTe a gug-gug good gug-gug-gug-guesser." Philadel phia Record. Turning; n Sharp Corner. On one occasion a great public din ner was given to Isaac llull by the town of Boston, and he was asked to sit for his picture to Gilbert Stuart, the celebrated artist, who was *1 great braggart. When Hull visited Ids studio, Stuart took great delight in entertain ing him with anecdotes of his English success, stories of the Marquis of This and the Baroness of That which show ed how elegant was the society to which he had been accustomed. Unfortunately in the midst of tlds grandeur Mrs. Stuart, who did not know that there was a sitter, came in with her apron on and her head tied up with handkerchief fr> 111 the kitch en and cried out, "Did you mean to have that leg of mutton boiled or roast ed V" To which Stuart replied, with great presence of mind, "Ask your mistress." TIo Penrl IK 1111 tern' Superstition. The pearl hunters of Borneo and the adjacent islands have a peculiar super stition. When they open shells in search of pearls, they take every ninth find, whether it be large or small, and put it into a bottle which is kept cork ed with a dead man's finger. The pearls in the vial are known us "seed pearls" or "breeding pearls," and the native Borneosc firmly believes that they will reproduce their kind. For ev ery pearl put into the vial two grains of rice are thrown in for the pearls to "feed upon." Borne whites in Borneo believe as firmly in the superstition as the na tives do, and almost every hut along the c ast has its "dead finger" bottle, with from nine to fifty seed pearls and twice that number of rice grains care fully and evenly stowed away among them.

Some people lieg the ques tion by n bold assertion that "ther* ben't sieh things, an' them as sen they sees 'um on'y thinks 'um does." Oth ers, more ctiulious, are of opinion that "tlier' med he ghostes or tiier' medn't;" they had never beheld any themselves, hut they knew folks who had. The dictum of one hardy skeptic is worth quoting as an example of shrewd reasoning: "I dwun't believe In ghostes an' sieh," said he.

I ought to warn you that she is a most incorrigl- I ble flirt, so tfcat you"— "Why, MMly Ware!" her sister ex claimed in a horrified tone, while the doctor laughed. "What are you say ing?" "Just what is true," Mrs. Ware said defiantly. "lie might just as well know it now, at the beginning of the ac quaintance, as to be stunned by the fact later on. At all events, my con science will be clear for having dene my duty at the start." "By the way you talk, Molly, one would think that 1 made a practice of | going about seeking whom I could de- I vour," said Miss Dilman resentfully. I "It's very unsisterly of you to betray j one of my blood bought accomplish : ments to Dr. Munn. It's downright brutal!" ! "Then you plead guilty to the charge ! Mrs. Ware has made?" said the doctor, I watching her admiringly. "Never! And I warn you that my case will be filed away among those 'not proved.' " "! don't know about that. I shall work hard gathering evidence." "I defy you." "And I'll convict you." he retorted, laughing. Mrs. Ware and he had been sitting in a shady corner of the piazza, she in her invalid chair and he oppo site. when Bab strolled out and joined them, a vision of blond loveliness in violet. As his carriage drove up to the gate for the third time he nrose to take leave reluctantly—reluctantly because the sunlight of tlie girl's beauty had got into liis eyes and dazzled him. She sauntered to the edge of the piazza. "It's no more tliau fair to warn you that as a detective I shall watch you closely," he said, smiling up at her. "As a detective only?" she said, with an arch laugh. "There are untold possibilities in the duties of a detective," he said, raising his hat. "I shall exhaust those first." When he had gone, she resumed her low chair beside her sister. "Molly," she said reproachfully, "you are a very mean girl. Now he'll expect me to flirt with him, and I'll have to do it." "What of that?" "Didn't you know that I had come down here to reform?" "Heavens, no!" "Your surprise is disheartening." "I intend it to be. I have set my heart upon a match between you and the doctor. lie's very wealthy and lias a fine practice besides, it would be an excellent thing for you, Bab. dear, and would please Aunt Nell so much. She has done a great deal for us both, you know." The girl's face darkened with pain. "I spent such a horrible winter," she said in a low voice—"one refusal after another. Oh, Molly," in passionate protest, "if only I had some money of my own and could marry for love, how sweet it would be!" Mrs. Ware's eyes filled with tears. "I couldn't," she said gently: then add ed comfortingly, "but I was not unhap py in my marriage. John was a very kind husband, and 1 have missed hiiu sorely since his death. Your beauty ought to be some sort of compensation to you, deal*. I was fairly staggered by it. Aunt Nell has done wonders for you." "Yes, Aunt Nell and her tailor." "Well, anyway you will do your best to captivate my doctor, won't you?" "Oh, he's like all the rest—diplomatic, absolutely in good form, cultivating only those in high places, with one eye on the god Mammon, the typical phy sician in ordinary to swelldom. A beautiful, tactful, well gowned wife would be of assistance to him. Would she be anything more? lias he any heart under that well gro >med, well tailored exterior?" "Barbara, we might just as well look upon this question dispassionately, for we both know how necessary it is for 3011 to marry, and marry wel}." Barbara went to the end of the piazza and stood looking out at the hills for a moment. She returned, smiling. "Now I'll be good," she said softly, "and I'll do my best to captivate your stupid old doctor. You mustn't mind my calling him that, dear, for he is stu pid. But. oh. Molly, if ever I meet I.ove face to face, what explanation will he demand?" Mrs. Ware could not reply. She star ed into space with so melancholy an expression that Barbara laughed by way of diverting her. Her sister looked up alarmed by the mischievous light in her eyes. "Bar bara." she said entreatiugly, "if he falls in love with 3011. you will not throw him over, will you. darling? lie might go off and shoot himself, and if Aunt Nell should hear of—of—his death and lay it to your doings"— "She'd never hear of it. We." dark ly"—"we'd bury him out in the potato pntcb and never divulge the awful se cret. But really, my dear, you do not know doctors. They never kill them selves if they are disappointed in love. They always take it out 011 ttieir char ity patients." Mrs. Ware sighed patiently. "I don't know that he has any charity pa- ! tients." "Just so." said Miss Dilman. with onality. "I'll make him bring me face to face with one or prove him too fond of catering Vo the rich to do charitable work among the poor." It was brought about dmiug one of 1 • he many drives that Miss Dilman and :lio doctor had together in the weeks that followed. "Doctor," she began artfully, "have you any charity patients—left?" "Left?" he echoed, puzzling over that seeming afterthought. "I have some, j Why?" j "Would you—er—take me to call up j on one?" I "Would you really go?" he asked, i looking at her averted face with a pas ! sienate light in his eyes. "Yes, of course I would," she said demurely. "This is good of you," he said un steadily and turned at once into a side street crowded with tenement houses. The carriage stopped. "Serves me right," she thought, with in inward laugh, as she followed him into the small, ill smelling room. "Faith without sight should have suf ficed for me." A wailing ery greeted their ears. A young Italian woman was bending over a child. There was a heartbreak ing look In the face she raised to them. Barbara seated herself graciously. As the doctor bent over his little patient the child held up its arms to him. and he lifted it tenderly to his breast, talk ing in crooning tones to it. The small hand feebly patted his face, and lie held It there against his cheek. He had forgotten all else, even the woman he loved. Barbara felt strangely Isolated. Somehow a breath of tragedy had blown across her little comedy, chill ing It and her. "Stupid—stupid—stupid!" she repeat ed, with miserable self reproach, as she awaited him outside in the fresher air. "Barbara Dilman, if you've a spark of decency, apologize to him for that word!" They drove on into the woods in si lence, he grave and she for the first time in her life nil adrift from her worldly self. "Will it live?" she faltered at last, trying not to wink lest a tear fall. "I fear not," he said sadly and look ed at her Just as the tear fell. A great change swept over him. lie bent low er. "Thank God for that tear, Bar bara!" he said huskily. She struggled wildly, but hopelessly, for her usual coolness. "Stupid, but"— "My heart and soul are yours, dear est. Is there any hope for me?" As his hand closed over hers pleadingly the other tear splashed down on his glove. His clasp tightened. "Speak to me, Barbara!" he entreated. "If you were not so—so—stupid—stu pid. but—but"— And as she paused a beautiful color rushed over her face. "But what?"'he demanded. "Dear!" she said tremulously, but with a laugh like music. Storks Are Queer Creatures. The owner of u house near Berlin found a single egg in the nest of a pair of storks built on the chimney and substituted for it a goose's egg. which in due time was hatched and produced a g sling instead of the ex pected storkling. The male bird was thrown into the greatest excitement by this event and finally flew away. The female, however, remained on the nest and to care for tlie changeling as though it were her own offspring. On the morning of the fourth day the male reappeared accompanied by nearly 300 storks, which held a mass meeting in an adjacent field. The assembly, we are informed, was ad dressed by several speakers, each ora tor posting himself 011 the same spot before beginning his harangue. These deliberations and discussions occupied nearly the entire forenoon, when suddenly the meeting broke up and all the storks pouueed upon the unfortunate female und her supposi titious young one, killed them both and, after destroying tlie polluted nest, took wing and departed and were never seen there again. Rrroffnked Tliclr Old Friend. The late Sir John Steell, who wafc sculptor to Queen Victoria, was model ing a bust of Miss Nightingale wke& an officer of one of the highland rogi incuts which had suffered so cruelly i: 4 the Crimea heard that the bust had just been completed and was in Si; John's studio. Many of the men in bin company had passed through the hos pital at Scutari, and he obtained per mission from the sculptor to bring some of them to see it. Accordingly a squad of men one day marched into the studio and stood in line. They had no idea why they had been mustered in so strange a place. With out a word of warning the bust was uncovered, and then as by one im pulse the men broke rank and. with cries of "Miss Nightingale. Miss Night ingale!" surrounded the model and, with lints off. cheered the figure of their devoted nurse until the roof rang So spontaneous and hearty and so in spiring was the whole scene that in after days Sir John Steell declared it to be the greatest compliment of his life. Where VennelM Cnpsln- Frequently. The capsizing of a vessel tied up to a pier is common enough in the bay of Fundy and its tributary streams. The usual rise and fall of the tide along that bay is from forty to fifty feet, ffml high tides sometimes exceed sixty feet. With the fall of the tide ail craft are left high, but by no meuns dry, with an area of chocolate colored mud all about them. This mud is too shifting to hold a vessel in safety, so each pier Is provided with one or more strong wood frames called shoes, fixed at the bottom of the stream or bay. Upon these shoes all vessels rest at low tide. It frequently happens, how ever, that a vessel does not get her shoe snugly on. so to speak, and if a strong wind conies when she Is thus ill bal anced over she goes into the mud, to be buried forty-five feet under the next rising tide.
