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. 1 r e 8 Old Nick Whiskey is the best and is noted for its age and purity, having been made on the same plantation over 133 year® without a rival as we constantly keep four year old RYE AND CORN on hand—ship any quantity, so write for price-list.

Hot 819. Roanoke, Virginia. 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. —Atlanta Journal. 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."— Philadelphia Prsss.

He Traveled with the Lions. "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 cago News 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. —New York World. 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.
