Cures urn oores, utner Ksniecias won’t Cure. The worst cases, no matter of how louk stnndinK, are cured by the wonderftil, old reliable Dr. Porter's Antiseptic Healing Oil. It relieves Pain and Heals at the same time. 25c, 50c, SI.OO Word for the Dog. “Society women criticised for fon dling dogs." said a newspaper head line, and the New- York World com ments: “It is rot just to criticise a woman for enjoying the society of her dog until you have seen her hu*- band." Suffered Twenty-One Years Finally Found Relief Having suffered for twenty-one years with a pain in my side, 1 finally have found relief in Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. Injections of morphine wire tnj only relief for short periods of time. I be came so sick t tat 1 had to mule: go a surgical operation in New Orleans, which benefited me for two years. W hen the same pain came back one day 1 wits so sick that I gave up hopes of living. A friend advised me to try your Swamp Root and I at once com menced using it. The lirst bottle did me so much good that I pur chased two more bottles. I am now on inv second b ittle and am lceling like anew woman. I passed a gravel stone as large as a big red bean and several small ones. I have not had the least feeling of pain since taking your Swamp Knot and 1 foci it my duty to rcc commend this great medicine to all .suffering humanity. < Iratefully yours, AIKS. ,M (Sill'll CONST \\< 'll.

Anid Other Queer Effects, Would 3e Deaf and Dumb. Without the atmosphere, besides the inconvenience to breathing, a great many peculiar tilings would be observed that would seem very extraordinary to us. Tho sun would rise straight up in the morning into a sky as black as ebony, traverse a black sky and sink down to rest at night into a black bed. No beauti ful glories of tho sunset and sunrise would appear, no blueness of the heavens be seen, no red sun gradu ally growing brighter, but one that would rise as a fiery orb and remain thus all day. No twilight and no daybreak could cheer us, for there would be nothing to diffuse the light. Unless the sun shone directly on a thing we could not see it. Thus our houses would have to be made of some transparent substance or else be artificially lighted in the i daytime. No soothing shades would appear in the landscape, but every thing would stand out boldly and : clearly, every object casting dense j black shadows that would render I invisible any one entering them. No j voice or music could be beard, for there would be no medium to carry it. No birds or insects could flit, j about in the trees and above us,! for there would be nothing to en- able them to utilize their wing mo tion. No clouds would be seen in the intensely black sky, and no thunderstorms or high winds would be possible. No vegetation could exist, and no animal could live. In fact, this old earth would be as dead as Hector as far as activity was concerned. Vet this is the exact condition of affairs on the moon, which has no atmosphere and consequently suf fers every one of these disadvan tages. It is rather interesting to con template tho successive events on the earth if the almospherc should be quickly removed. The first thing that would probably happen is that every animal, insect, fish, bird and plant would suffer a violent explo sion, for each contains air at a pressure of fifteen pounds to the square inch on the outside, which is balanced by an equal pressure on the inside and would rush outward on the first pressure being removed. This can be shown by placing the hand over an air pump and gradu ,-ily exhausting the air. The part exposed will gradually swell. An other illustration is when a tornado sweeps round a house, taking the outside air away for an instant. If the house is closed the windows and j doors will lie blown outward with j enormous force, and sometimes the, sides themselves of the house are: blown in all directions. The Parthenon* The destruction of that famous building the Parthenon took place in IG.S7 during the siege of Athens by the Venetians. The Turks held the city, and the Parthenon was used for a powder magazine. One day during the conflict a Venetian bombshell dropped into the build ing, and the explosion followed which badly shattered the struc ture. From that date the renown ed building has stood roofless and exposed to ail the inclemencies of the weather. For more than 2,000 years the temple stood entire, and in its ruins is the architectural wonder of the world.—New York American. Suitable, Indeed. Sir Hubert von Ilerkomer, the well known artist, used to tell an amusing story of a London art deal er. This man had two beautiful re productions of the painting, “The Approaching Storm.” One of the pictures he placed in the show window, but it did not sell. At length in order to draw attention to the picture he put a card on it, on which he printed the words, “ ‘The Approaching Storm/ especially suitable for a wedding present.” A Changeable Name. The French island of Reunion has changed its name four times in a little over half a century and with little or no reason for doing so. In 1793 it was Bourbon, as it had been for a century and a half, but fjie convention then changed it to Reunion. Under the empire it be came Isle Bonaparte. At the res toration it reverted to Bourbon. Finally in 1848 it became Reunion once more. Not Real Food. Tommy went out tc dine at a friend's house one evening. When the soup was brought Tommy did not touch his, and the hostess, look ing over, said, “Why, Tommy, dear, what’s the matter? Aren’t yon hungry tonight?” “ Yes,” replied Tommy, “I’m quite hungry, but I’m not thirsty.”— London Standard.
