flntnc of the Peril lin rit leu of Tills
Mystcrlmia Siili.fsnre.
A-bc-tns is a physical paradox, yet
one of nature's most marvelous produc
tions. It lias been called a iuineralogic.il
vegetable: it is both fibrous and crys
talline, elastic, yet brittle; n floating
atone, which can bo readily carded,
spun and woven into tissue. In Ger
many it is known us steinflachs (stone
flax), and the miners of Quebec give it
quite as expressive a name—pierre coton
(cotton stone). The asbestos mines of
Quebec are the most famous in the
I world, yielding 85 per cent of the en
tire output, Italy being the only com
i peting country, and there the industry
is declining. Although Charlemagne is
said to have had a tablecloth of asbestos,
which lie cleansed by throwing into the
fire, it was practically unknown until
1850.
The Italian mineral was then experi
mented with and some years later put
on the market. In 1878 the first Cana
dian mine was opened, and the product
steadily increased until 1890, when
9.860 tons, worth $1,260,000, were
mined. There has since been a decline
in value, the amount for lsfui being
12,200. worth only $480,000. Asbestos
i is flexible, noncombustibie and a non-
I conductor of heat and electricity, and
! on these properties it* increasing use
depends. It i- spun into yarn, from
which cloth is woven for drop curtains
in theaters, clothing for firemen, acid
workers, etc. It is made into lamp
■ wicks and gloves f r stokers and r<q s
for fire escapes. It is felted into mill
board to bo used as an insulator in dy
namos and ns a fire] p f lining f. r
, floors. It is used to insulate electric
wires and as a covering to prevent loss
l of heat from steam pipes.. Mixed with
j rubber it is used to pack steam .joints.

BATTLE WITH SHARKS.
A Desperate Encounter In Which
Two Mun Caters Were Slain.
Probably the most desperate fight
i which has ever been witnessed between
a ip]., of -harks and a human in ing
t<-.k pl ice at Havana some time ago.
Set, nil fruit peddlers bad boarded a
lull;, maill . at, and among them was
a swarthy, barelegged young chap noted
among hi.-- comrades as a clever swim
mer The purser of tin- vessel was stand
j in:; l y tin gangway, bidding bis child
in hi . watching a couple of sharks
that wi re banging about the ship. Ac
cidentally the child fell out of its fa
ther's grasp into tin: water. The father
ilium iiiai.lv jumped overboard and
-eizi d hi child, and in a moment the
sharks were making for the pair.
Seeing the predicament, the bare leg
: ped wo; I , r fir. qq:< d Lis 1 I lit
basket and went over the rail like a
flash
A- the fir.'t. -hark turned on its back
the invaiia ' ■ prelude to biting its
victim the y. ung fruit seller rose to
, the surface, and, with a long, keen
I edged knife, fairly disemboweled it.
j The other was not nearly so easily
dlis[:o«( d of. The shark seemed to real
that in th fruit si Iler he had a
dangerous foe and apparently sparred
for an . pining. Several men on board
the v. -1 blaze 1 away at the monster
with revolver.-:, but the young fellow
btgged the men to desist, bl ing un
nerved by the firing. Fish and man
dived alternately, and when the fi-h did
make f..r its foe the plucky boy dived
i and plunged the knife in its side.
The wati r was crimson with blood
when the three were hauled safe and
sound to ti e deck of the vessel, and a
handsome sum of money was collected
: for the victor.

deeply interested appear between the
acts to be quite weary ■ f the whole

when the scene ends he will sigh and a

THE CAUSE OF
DYSPEPSIA.
Loss of Vitality Known to be the Parent of this Dread
Disease—The Method of Cure Mas
Proved Most Successful,
From the Republican, Scranton, Fenna.
Th« most common of all human ailment*
: in deranged digestion: the most aggravating
disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In
sldion* in its nature, varied in its forms it
tortures its victims, baffle* the skill of phy
sician* and the power of medicine.
The primary cause of dytpepsia is lack of
vitality; the absence of nerve force; the loss
of the life-smtaining elements of the blood.
It is a truism that no organ can properly
perform its function when the source of
nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one
hand and over-taxed on the other. When
th* stomach is robbed of the nourishment
demanded by nature, assimilation ceases un
natural gases aro generated, the entire sys
tem responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory Bt.,
Scranton, Pa.
In telling hi* story Mr. Vandyke says:
"Five year* ago, I was afflicted with a
trouble of the stomach, which was very
aggravating. I had no appetite, could not
enjoy myself at any time, and especially
wa* the trouble severe when I awoke in the
morning. 1 did not know what the ailment
was, hub it became steadily worse and I was j
in constant misery.
“I called in my fismily physician, and he
diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach, j
He prescribed for me and I had bis prescrip
tion filled. I took nearly all of the medi-1
cine, but still the trouble became worse,
and I felt that my condition was hopeless.
My friends recommended various proprie
tary remedies, some of them among the best

in the market, but I tried several of them
without receiving benefit. After I had been
suffering several months, and had secured
no relief from any of the many remedies
which 1 had taken, a friend of mine, by the
name of Thoma* Campbell, also a resident
of this city, urged me to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Paia People. I told him it
would be a useless waste of money to buy
them, as I xvas convinced that nothing could
do me any good.
“I was finally persuaded to buy a box
and began to use the pills according to
directions. Before I Lad taken the second
box I began to feel relieved, and after taking
a few more boxes I considered myself re
stored to health. The pills gave me new
life, strength, ambition and happiness.”
An unfailing specific is found in Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
St. Vitus’dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma
tism, nervous headache, the after efleet of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow complexions, that tired feeling result
ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re
sulting from vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar to
: females, such as suppressions, irregularities
{ and all forms of weakness. In men they effect
a radical cure in all cases arising from mental
I worry, overwork or excesses of whatever
nature. These pills are manufactured by the
I Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady,
I N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the
firm’s’trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a
I box or six boxes for §2.50, and are never sold
in bulk. Thev mav be had of all druggists.
LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mr. Editor : Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say, in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over SB,OOO to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $2-5 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether,about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acie lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 t > another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may le,
the entire quantity to b drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some state! time,
so that all shall have a fair ehar.ee to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m >ney, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles fr< m Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to market gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to hav • .-ties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me" at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annuai payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have l>een in the posses
sion of one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and are as
good as gold.
1 am not particularly wedded to this
plan of getting rid of my lands, but onlv
sii-rgi st tl.e i.!<.a—any Gttir ] .an w.i::i
b; thankfully substituted.
