THE aMEMCUS DAILY TIMES-RECOEDER; SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1891.
Kept tip
for yfars—the offer that’s made by
the proprietors of Dr. Sage’s Ca
tarrh Remedy. It’s addressed to
you, if you have Catarrh. It’s a
reward of $500, if they can’t cure
you, no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing—an offer
that’s made in good faith by re
sponsible men.
Think wlmt it means ! Absolute
confidence in their Remedy, or they
couldn’t afford to take the risk. A
long record of perfect and perma
nent cures of the worst eases — or
they couldn’t have faith in it. It
means no more catarrh — or $500.
If you fail to be cured, you won’t
fail to be paid.
But perhaps you won’t believe it.
Then there’s another reason for try
ing it. Show that you can’t bo
cured, and you’ll get $500. It’s a
plain business offer. The makers
of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy will
pay you that amount if they can’t
enre you. They know that they
can—you think that they can’t If
they’re wrong, you get the cash. If
you’re wrong, you’re rid of catarrh.

Rearing a Wolf.
It id not often that a wolf story is told
in a way to show the cowardly nature of
the animal. For this reason the follow
ing account, given by the author of
"Twenty-seven Years in Canada West,"
has its own value and interest:
Mv wife's youngest sister had a pel
sheep that she had brought up from a
lauib, and to which she was much at
tached. One afternoon bIio was going
down to the spriug for a pitcher of wa
ter, when she saw a larg# dog, as she
thought, worrying her sheep, upon which
she picked up a large stick and struck
the boast two or three strokes with all
her strength, thus compelling him to
drop his prey.
Tills, however, liedid very reluctantly,
turning his head at tho same time, and
showing his teeth with a most diabolical
snarl. She saw at once when ho faced
her, by his pricked ears, high cheek
I sines, long, bushy tail and gaunt figure,
that her antagonist was a wolf. Nothing
daunted, she again bravely attacked
him, for he seemed determined, in spite
of her valiant opposition, to have her pet
lamb, which he again attacked.
.She boldly beat him off the second
time, following him down the creek,
thrashing him and calling for aid with
all her might, when, fortunately, one Of
her brothers, attracted by her cries, ran
down with the dogs and bis gun. But
he was too late for a shot, for when the
wolf saw the reinforcement lie scamp
ered off with all his speed.
A lllval of the ramons Stra.bnrg Clock.
The most wonderful clock is on exhi
bition ill the purochial school bnilding
connected with St. Paul’s German Lu
theran church in Janesville, Wis.
The timepiece is divided into fonr
parts—geographical, astronomical, mu
sical and numerical. A little bell strikes
every minute. The first quarter hour
represents childhood; the second, yonth;
the third, middle age, and the fonrth,
old age. At the clock strikes the hours
a corresponding number of apobtles moke
their appearance, from one to twelve.
Above them stands Jeans blessing them.
The twelve signs of the zodiac are rep
resented. At 0 and 12 o'clock a sexton
rings a bell, an old man kneelsin prayer,
the cock crows and the organ is played.
There are four dials on each side ofj jlm
clock, showing the years on one sidp and
the leap years on the other.
At midnight heathen gods make .their
appearance, and scenes in the life of
Jesus are represented at noonday. The
fonr seasons are represented by appro
priate figures, os are the moon's phases.
The clock was built by Mr. Martin, a’
millwright,of Sckwarzwald, Baden, and
is said lo exceed in ingenuity any other
clock ever exhibited in the United
States.—Jeweler’s Weekly.
An Olil llnllet.
Bob Lockhart dropped in to renew his
subscription.
“I have something in my inside pocket
which J want to show yon," ho said, am}
after searching for a few seconds BoU
produced the half of a large round leaden
ball.
•‘I was sawing up a fat lightwood log,
and yon will see where tlio saw passed
through the center of the bullet. Well,
I got to thinking afterward bow old
this bnllet must be. The log was fat
heart pine two feet thick. Evidently
the bullet was shot into the tree when
small or else it conld not have pierced to
the center, and the tree was evidently
100 years old when it fell to the ground.
It may have laid there 100 years or more.
Yon know fat pine never decays. I am
satisfied thnt old man Ponco de Leon, op
his tour through this country, must have
fired a fancy shot at a skulking savage,
and plugged the tree instead of the In
dian. Yon see it’s a round ball, and as
it Is so large I judge it to bo of Spanish
make.”
Bobis quite an ihitlqaariun, you know.

Oil Ponds In tho Gulf.
Between the mouth of the Mississippi
river and Galveston, ten or fifteen miles
sontb of Sabine Pass, is a spot in the
Gnlf of Mexico which is commonly called
“The Oil Ponds" by the captains of the
small craft which ply iu that vicinity.
There is no Innd within fifteen miles;
bnt eveu in the wildest weather the
water at this spot is comparatively calm,
owing to the thick covering of cil, which
apparently rises from the bed of the Gnlf,
which is here akont fifteen to eighteen
feet beneath tho surface. This strange
refuge is well known to sailors who run
on the small vessels trading between Cal
casieu, Grange, Sabine, Beaumont and
Galveston. When through stress of
weather they fail to make harbor else
where they run for "The Oil Ponds,” let
go anchor and ride the gale in safety,
this carious spot furnishing a good illus
tration of the effect of "oil npou u trou
bled aea."—St. Louis Republic.
The Silver Dollar “M."
There is n popular idea prevalent that
the minute letter “M" to be seen at the
baso of the head of Liberty on tho face
of the present lssne of silver dollars
stands for “Mint,” and is nn evidence of
the genuineness of the coin bearing it.
This is a mistake. The “M” stands for
Morgan, George T. Morgan, who is the
originator of the design. Upon the
same side there is another “M,” also the
initial of the designer. This is to be
found in the waving locks of the fair
goddess, and is so cleverly concealed in
the lines of the design that it can only
be seen after a long scrutiny. A prom
inent mint official, in speaking of this
other initial, said that lie hail had it
shown to him scores of times, but conld
never find it unassisted.— Philadelphia
Record.
No Fondness for Selenee.
A well known scientist sat in a Chest
nut street hotel watching the throngs
pass by, when a gentleman entered and
■aid:
“Mr. Blank, can yon give any scien
tific reason why women walk pigeon-
toedr
"My dear sir,” replied the professor,
in impressive tones, “women and science
have nothing to do with each other."—

In the wide city's whirl
Just a nameless girl -
Nobody cares!

A pillow pushed up to the wall.

"1 laid nn interestingexperience," said
Mr. George Boniface. Jr. "I happened
to be passing one of the dime museums
when I noticed a large placard announc
ing the appearance of the elastic skin
man. Having never seen this curiosity
1 bought a ticket and entered the mu
seum. 1 was startled by the resemblance
which the elastic skin man Imre to some
one I had seen. I could not recall the
name, lint the resemblance haunted me
like a dim ghost that had come out of
long ago. While 1 stood wondering the
reporter for a local paper came up to in
terview the elastic skin man. and I heard
the elastic skin man say: ‘My name is
D. B. Hodges, {n 1837 I was agent for
Rttmsey & Newcomb's minstrels. Since
then I have been idle.'
“In a few moments." continned Mr.
Boniface, “who should come along but
Arthur Cambridge, Charley Griste and
Gns Pennoyer. They shook hands witli
the elastic skin mun and began talking
over old times.
“ ‘Let's see. Charley,' asked the elastic
skin man, ‘what show were you travel
ing with when I first met yon?'
“ -Upon my word. I don't remember.'
■aid Mr. Griste. ‘The first show 1 ever
traveled with was a den of performing
lions, rnn by—well, now, it's curious
that 1 can't recall the name!'
“ ‘Was it Van Ambnrgh? - asked tho
elastic skin man.
“'Bless your heart, no,' said Mr
Griste. 'Why, lie tanglit Van Ambnrgh
the business. Fnnny i can't think of his
name. He was a great friend of old Bill
Conp’s—oil, yes, now I recall the name:
it was Daniel!' "—Eugene Field in Chi

Where Xoboily Starvev.
Within a hundred miles of the east
coast of Australia no native in nn uncrip
pled condition lias ever died from lack of
digestible food—a rather comprehensive
term in a country where fern roots are
boiled like potatoes, and snails and grass
hoppers are considered tidbits. Strange
to say, the martyrs of that horrid diet
get old, ns a proof that freedom from
care is, after all, the main condition of
longevity. A similar phenomenon may
bo observed in the villages of Central
Russia, where mental stagnation pre
vails in its ugliest forms, but where
charity and parish poor laws protect
every native from the risk of actual star
vation. — Professor Oswald in Good
Words.
Two Fsinou. Men Convene.
A young woman was favored with n
chance to hear two famons poets con
verse. She was walking in Cambridge,
and saw Longfellow and Lowell strolling
a little way ahead. Her quick step soon
brought her near them. She thought to
herself, “Now 1 will get the freshest
utterauces of two great men.” Just be
fore she overtook them she saw a pretty
child coming along, and about to meet
them. “What are little girls made off"
said one poet to the other. “Sngar and
spice and all that's nice, and that's what
little girls are mado of.”—Christian
Union.
Caune<l Fruit* In Pompeii.
A curious story is told of the origin of
canned fruits. Years ago, when -the ex
cavations were beginning at Pompeii,
some jars of preserved figs were found
in the pantry of one of the bailed houses.
On being opened the fruit was fonnd to
be fresh and good, thns showing that
centuries ago tile art of preserving frnit
was practiced and that we are indebted
to the ancients for many u delicious dish.

Tho biggest natural beehive In the
world is that in Kentucky known as the
“Mammoth Beehive." it is in reality a
huge cave, the main compartment of
which is 150 feet high, and whose floor
covers ten acres in extent. Thu bee
hive is of solid rock, the roof of which
has been entirely honeycombed by bees
A system of electric railway signaling
has appeared in Eijgluml. in which, if
two engines come on the same section of
line, bells are automatically set ringing
in each engine by an electric current.
The same arrangement allows telephonic
communication between the engineers
and ulso with the signal men.
One state of the Union, which derived
its usages from French and not from
English originals, luu no counties at all.
In Louisiana these subdivisions of the
state are still called parishes, both offi
cially and in ordinary speech, thongb
they are now divided into many real
parishes of the church.
Senator Peffer, of Kansas, has had
each of his eight children, three of whom
are girls, learn a trade. Typesetting
seems to have keen most popular with
them, although one daughter has fitted
herself to become an amanuensis, aud
one son is a locomotive engineer.
One of the largest dynamos in the
world is said to be in use in nn alutni-
nnm works in Switzerland. The com
mutator is mado of - copper, and weighs
over six tona The machine has the ca
pacity of developing 14,000 amperes at
thirty volts.
Algeria has now about 4,000,000 pop
