HIS FIRST THIMBLE.
Inventor John LiiNluk Made «i For
tune From It 800 Yearn Ako.
“There is a rich family named Loft
ing in England," said a dealer in fancy
articles, “the fortune of whose house
was founded by so apparently insignifi
cant a little thing as the thimble.
“The first thimbles seen in England
we iade in London It ss than 200
years ago by a metal worker named
John Lofting.
“The usefulness of the article recom
mended it at once to all who used the
needle, and Lofting acquired a large
fortune and great fame in the manufac
ture of the new accessory to the needle
worker's art.
“The implement was then called the
thumb bell and was worn on the thumb.
“The clumsy mode of utilizing it
was soon changed, but when and why
the name thimble was given the article
do not appear
“Lofting’s thimbles, and. in fact, all
thimbles, were made of either iron or
brass, and specimens of them extant,
many of which are preserved as heir
looms. are crude and clumsy looking
things compared with the commonest
thimbles of today, although their cost
was many times as much.
“Today gold, silver, iron, ivory,
steel, sometimes glass and even pearl
and celluloid are utilized in making
thimbles. Since art needlework became
fashionable thimbles of elaborate work
manship and great value, to accompany
the rich and costly implements and ma
terials wealthy needleworkers affect,
have found a large sale.
“Solid gold thimbles, carved and fre
qnently set with diamonds, have been
found none too good for some people.
Thimbles made to order, with the mono
gram or initials of the person for whom
they are intended set in precious stones,
are not by any means unknown." —

HE ATE THE SOAP.
Garland Would Have Swallowed It If
II Had Killed Him.
The late Augustus II Garland, who
was attorney general under President
Cleveland, was very fond of practical
jokes and during his term of service in
the senate frequently turned the laugh
on his colleagues. Senators Voorhees
and Vest, with whom be was very
friendly, finally determined to turn the
tables Mr. Garland bad a habit, like
Voorhees, of munching candy, and Vest
and Voorhees made it up between them
to take advantage of his fondness for
sweets to play their trick. They had
some tempting looking chocolate cara
mels prepared, with the interior filled
with brown soap. These they took to
the senate chamber and Voorhees placed
them on his desk. The lid being off
when Mr Garland sauntered down the
aisle he noticed them at once.
“What have you there. Dan?” he in
quired.
Voorhees looked up carelessly from
his writing and responded: “Caramels.
Help yourself. ’’
Garland needed no second invitation
and, picking up two or three, placed
one in his month. Steadily he chewed
away, his face betraying no sign of the
conflict within him. This alarmed
Voorhees, who went to Vest’s desk and
said
“He’s eating them, Vest! What shall
we do? The stuff will kill him sure I”
Senator Vest replied that it could do
no more than make him sick. Garland
swallowed the stuff, although he was
foaming at the month from the soap
suds. He related the incident afterward
with great gusto and said he would
have swallowed it if it had killed him.

to have discovered that many persona

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is theonly positive cure now
known in the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative power, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of Testimonials.

4 Gentlemen: I cxri not recommend your Pitts’ Carminative too
k strongly, as 1 owe my baby’s life to it. She had Cholera Infantum
1 when five months old, and I could get no relief until I began using Pitt’s
? Carminative. The fever left her when I had given her but two bottles,
V and she had fattened so she did not look like the same child. I advise all’
