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. Pittsburg Dispatch. 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.

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.

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.

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.
