A prominent merchant of New York said
to a member of my family “My mother

This was the case. He said “My mother
had a dreadful abscess, from which she had
suffered untold agonies, and nil surgery had
been exhausted upon her, and worse mid
worse she grew until wo called in a few
Christian friends and proceeded to pray
nls.iit it. Wo commended her case to Hod,
imil the abscess began immediately to be
cured. Hho is entirely well now, and with
out knife and without any surgery." So that
case has come to me, and there are n score of
other cases coming to our ears from all parts
of the earth. < )li, yo win. nro siek, go to

THE LOST SILVER DOLLAR.
The Old Man Was Far From Home
Without Another Cent.
I saw four or five gamins surrounding
an old ch ip at the Bridge entrance the
other day, and as he seemed to lrc in
trouble of some sort, I stepped up and
inquired what it was.
“ lie’s lost a circle I” shouted one of
the hoys, in answer.
“I hnin’t neither!” added the old
man. “ I’ve jest went and lost an all
lired Iritf silver dollar through this infer
nal hole in my pocket 1"
“ Didn’t you hear it drop?”
“ Don’t remember. When I was hack
there a piece something kinder fell ker
-1 hug on the planks, and a minute luter I
heard a kersplash way down in tho
river, hut I didn’t think it was my old
dollar. Must ha' bin, though.”
“ Have you looked along? ”
“Bin lookin’ for morc’n an hour, hut
can’t find it.”
“That hain’t much for a man to lose,”
observed one of the. boys.
“It hain’t, hey?” h<* smartly answered.
“Might not he il I was \vnth ten millyons,
hut when a feller is thirty-two mile* from
home and liain’l got another red, the
ease is different. This comes of my
squashing down around here to see this
old suspended bridge when I ought to
have taken tlie noon train for home. I
jest felt all tin* mornin’ as if I was g o '"’
to make a fool of myself, and I’ve finally
done it.”
“Sure you didn't spend it?” I queried,
feeliot* that he J.ee led consolation.
“Spend it! .le-tyou look n there! See
that hole in my pocket—big ’miff to
shove mv list through! 1 changed that
dollar from 11 1 i-* pocket to that when 1
was fcclin' for my knife, nnd she’s lyin
on the bottom of the river at this very
mi 11 it!”
“Look iri yer bute! Look in yer
lintel” shouted the smallest gamin of all
as lie stood off and pointed to the weli
ivnrn nnd badly wrinkled cowhides.
“’Taint, no use. If it was in there I’d
have felt it. ml.hie’ my ankle bone. I’ll
lo >k though.”
lie sat down on one of the benches
and tugged aud pulled and grew red in
the face, and the hoot finally came off
with “sh 11 11 nil!" which could ho
heard thirty feet away, lie tipped it up,
and lo! the missing dollar roiled out, to
he greeted with a wild yell of delight.
“Waal! by gosh!” chuckled the old
man as he grabbed for it. “Slid right
down my leg and I never felt it! Gone
and wasted a hull hour and got the hull
town excited, and it was in my hoot all
the time!”
“1 was the one who told you?” shouted
tho little one.
“So ye was, sonny, so ye was; and I'll
show ye that 1 kin appreciate ft saver.
Here’s a hunk o’ lickerish 1 was takin’
home to the hired man, and it’s all yours
and welcome. This ’ere dollar goes right
down into my coat tail pocket, and
here’s a pinto [.in her in with, and I’ll
now walk around a little and see how
this suspended bridge is suspended over
the river. Lands! but what a difference
in my feelings! To jump from the shad
der of cold despair right into a hundred
cents inside of two niinits makes me feel
ns weak as if 1 had bin run out of the
barnyard by a crazy steer!”—[M. Quad,

Evolution of the Knife.
“This case full of implements which
we have newly placed on exhibition is
designed to show the development of the
tool we call the knile, beginning from
the earliest times,” said l’rofessor Mason
nt the National Museum to a Star reporter.
“First, you observe, is the fragment of
Hint which the savage split by banging
it on top with a stone hammer into a
number of (lakes. The smaller ones
w* to used for arrow points and the lug
ger ones for knives, their edges being
split off so harp that you might almost
shave with some of them. Next you see
the lliut Hake inserted into a handle of
split wood or bone, and, as further im
provements, tin* fastening of this primi
tive knife in the h nolle by the rosin of
trees and by cord of one sort or another
bound to secure it. The most beautiful
ktiilefin the collection is this exquisitely
molded blade of greenish jade belonging
to the stone age branded with a walrus
tusk. You call hardly find a more ad
mirably formed weapon among the prod
ucts of modeni cutlery wares. Most
curious of the modern tools here is this
, sailor’s knife, square at the end instead
1 of pointed, to prevent stabbing in a
I row or the dangerous falling of tho
; weapon from aloft. Its blade drops out
at the end *>f the handle when a catch is
! touched, so that .lack can hold a rope
* with one hand and open the knife for
: service without the need of ten lingers.”

a department in the southwest of
France, where the best stilt walkers in
the world are to be found. It is part
of old Gascony, bordering on the Bay
of Biscay, and consists chiefly of
marshy and sandy plains, covered with
a hard and stunted shrub and a coarse
grass, where tho land is in a state of na

by reafing sheep, and tho shepherds,
male and female, are obliged to use
stilts to enable them to get around.
They become experts while still young
and are able to cover long distances in
a short time. Sylvain Donon was
brought up like tho rest of the people
in tho Landes country, and has been
exhibiting his pr fleioncy on stilts in
I’aris and other French cities for some
time past. When ho started from the
Place do Ja Concorde the other day
there was an immense crowd to witness
his departure. He is a fine-looking man
and was dressed in the picturesque
Landais costumes, with the national
cap, or beret, and the goatskin vest,
lie carried in his haDd a long pole,
whicli he found very useful to help him
athwart the mob that, more than once
pressing round him, nearly brought him
to the ground. His stilts are a little
over three feet high. He walked
briskly away amid shouts of “A Mos
cou,” “A Moscou,” up the Hue lloyale
and along the boulevards as far as the
Rue Drouot. Hero he turned into the
Rue Lafayette, walking at the rate o!
about live miles an hour, along the
Great Northern road in the direction of
Tantin, being loudly cheered the wholo
way. Ho expects to leach Moscow in
time for the exhibition and to reap a
rich harvest.

Deafness Can't be f’nred
By local applications, as they cannot reach
tho diseased portion or the ear. There is only
one way to cure I>eafness, and that Is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of tin; mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tabu gets in
flamed you have a rumbling hound or iraper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
! Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this tub- restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

Scrofula or Kings Evil is the most stubborn of all Skin af

and cannot be permanently cured by anything but S. S. S.
A GRATEFUL DAUGHTER.
My Mother wns s> rely afflicted with Scrofula for three years arid a half,
during Fiat time tho glands on her nt ck open in live places. Ihice of tho
openings were small and healed right up, but the other two would fill up and
break open anew, about every two weeks, always causing severe pain and ofien
prostration. She was so reduced in strength, that tonics and rona wines had to
bo generously used to keep her alive. She commenced taking S. S. S., and
improved from the start, the first bottle ga\e her an appetite and by the timo
she finished the fourth bottle her neck healed up, she is now entirelly well

Pretty strong
reasons for trying Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy. In the first
place, it cures your catarrh—
no matter how bad your case,
or of how long standing. It
doesn’t simply palliate —it
cures. If you believe it, so
much the better. There’s
• nothing more to be said,
i You get it for 50 cents, from
I all druggists.
But perhaps you won’t be
lieve it. Then there’s another
reason for trying it. Show
that you can’t be cured, and
1 you’ll get SSOO. It’s a plain
! business offer. The makers
iof Dr. Sage’s Remedy will
pay you that amount if they
can’t cure 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.
