THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1891.
mm
A new man
can bo made, out of one that’s
“used-up,” bilious and dyspeptic.
It’s done by Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It starts the
torpid liver into healthful action,
purifies and enriches the blood,
cleanses, repairs, and strengthens
the system, and restores health and
vigor. As an appetizing, restora
tive tonic, it sets at work nil the
processes of digestion and nutri
tion, and builds 4ir> flesh and
strength. It’s the only Wood and
Liver Remedy that’s guaranteed, in
every case, to benefit or cure. If it
doesn’t do all that’s claimed for it,
the money is promptly refunded.
But it keeps its promises — that’s
the reason it can be sold in this
way.
“Discovery” strengthens Weak
Lungs, and cures Spitting of Blood,
Shortness of Breath, Brbnchitis,
Severe Coughs, and kindred affec
tions. Don’t be fooled into taking
something else, said to be “just as
good,” that the dealer may make a
larger profit. There’s nothing at
all like tho “ Discovery.”

A Diamond Thief Trapped.
The manager of one of the largest
jewelry stores in the city was speaking
of some experiences ho hail ha<l with
diamond thieves. Said he:
Of course we are familiar with ‘Ae
faces of a great many of the most expert
thieves who pick up diamonds and
jewelry while examining them under
pretense of buying, but naturally our
knowledge is limited, and great care is
exercised when exposing precious stones.
I keep all the loose diamonds in my pri
vate office and attend to their sale my
self, but this is rather a dangerous policy.
Quite recently a man came in b.nd asked
to see some unset diamonds, and with
out the slightest suspicion I brought him
in here and spread out a number of pa
pers of very valuable stones. I was seat
ed in a revolving chair, and had occasion
to turn my hack on him for a moment,
and when I looked around again I dis
covered that two valuable stones were
missing. #
Very quietly I folded up. the papers,
leaving the one from which the stones
had been taken until the last. Then
saying carelessly that I had something
else to show him, I turned to a drawer
in my desk and got my revolver. ‘This
is what I wanted to show you, and now
just put hack those two diamonds,* said
L He looked at mo for a moment, said
something about insulting a gentleman
but he saw the revolver looking very
dangerous, and finally produced the
stones from his vest pocket.—Phi lad el-

Yuma! What recollections the name
itself brings up! Ynma, where they dig
for wood and climb for water. Where
there are morn Mexicans than Ameri
cons, and more Indians than either.
Where the "thermometer "seldom gets
above 118 in the shade,” and where the
wicked Ymnmwin school sent home for
his blanket. Where the seat of honor is
the left hand, and the railroad hotel
gives the traveler tender beefsteaks.
Where the river is the color of the earth,
and the earth the color of the water.
Where steamboats run comfortably on
moist sand, and tho prisoners in the peni
tentiary keep store in the prison yard.
Where the girls are “tough” and the
boys are "gentle and refined.” Where
they eat strawberries in January, and
where the desert blossoms like the rose.
Where tho rainfall is less in a year than
it is in New York in a day, and where
tho old men pitch pennies and fly kites.
Where the Indian wurrior is practically
peaceful and clean, and where the entire
world seems topsy turvy. •
Such is Yuma, a picturesque town sit-
unted in tho heated corner of the world
where Arizona, California and Mexico
meet.—Omaha World-Herald.
8|iort That I. Rather Cruel.
The scorpion is a bad bedfellow, and
he has a mean trick of hiding in your
boots and stinging you when yon pnt
them on. Out you can havo fun with
him after a fashion. .If you want to
bring out the best qualities of a scorpion
build a little corral of dry leaves or
paper around him nnd set fire to it at
all points. Make the circle about a foot
in diameter, so that the flames will not
touch your prisoner. When he sees the
ring of fire the scorpion will try to es
cape, first at one place and then nt an
other, hut the flames will drive him
back every time, and when he realizes
that he is completely surrounded he will
retreat to the center of the ring and de
liberntely commit snicide by curling bis
tail over and stinging himself in the
back. So you see that nature sanctions
suicide under some circumstances in
spite of what the preachers say about it.
The scorpion teaches a lesson that a man
hod better remember if he finds himself
in the center of a gang of Apaches.—San
Francisco Examiner.
Two Singular Showers.
On Saturday, Nov. 11, 1882, there was
a shower of peculiar shaped seeds over
an area of several square miles in the
vicinity of Statesburg, S. C. The shower
began about 11:30 a. in., and was noted
for twelve miles in one direction and
about Beven nnd a half in the other. In
the center of the district over which they
fell tho ground was almost covered, the
noise mado by them as they fell on the
leaves much resembling that made by
fine sleet. When examined under the
microscope these seed, like grannies, ap
peared wholly di fferent from any seeds
known to botanists of that part of South
Carolina
In the following month. December,
1882, Huntington, Ind., and vicinity was
treated to a shower of strange worms.
They were only about the fourth of an
inch in length and about the diameter of
a small sewing needle. In some places
they fell in such abundance as to covet
the snow and ice to the depth of nearly
half an inch.—St. Louis Republic.
Kew M«ous.
In former years the night watchmen
of European towns, as they went their
rounds, called out the hour and the state
of the weather.
These watchmen were generally old
men, whose infirmities, rather than their
fitness, mode them guardians of the
night. Of one of them, a watchman of
Canterbury, Cooper, the English artist,
tells a story amusingly illustrative o.’the
mental dullness of the class.
One night it had been raining between
the hours of the old man’s rounds, a fact
of which he was ignorant, having snooted,
as nsnal, in his watch box. When he
started on his next round the rain had
ceased, and the light of the moon was
reflected in many pools of water. As
tho old man went along he was heard to
call out:
“Past 11 o'clock, a wet night And mon-
moons than usual!”
