I take great pleasure in giving the
very highest testimonial to Dr.
Baker's Blood and Liver Cure. I
used it in 1895 Inflammatory Rheumatism.
I was severely afflicted
with the disease and tried my family
physician, in addition to various
remedies, without effect. I procured
some of the above medicine, and before
using i bottle of it I could walk
without my crutches, and by the
time I had used a bottle and a half,
I felt entirely well, and have not
.suffered any since. I cheerfully recommend
it, and believe it will do
all its propietors claim for it.

And General Logan Told the Kind
That They Were Not.
General John A. Logan once relieved
an embarrassing situation as.
promptly as he ever vanquished a

ebon folds totally concealed his
ears.
Once when a transient guest at a
hotel he was seated in the dining
room opposite a lady and her little
daughter of four or live years. Well
bred silence was preserved, but the
child looked "Black Jack" over with
interest. What passed in her mind
became apparent when, after a
week's absence, he was again seated
at the table with the same lady and
her daughter. In the interim the
general had had his hair so cut that
it exposed the lower part of the lobe

were fairly glued upon him. She
wriggled in her seat, then hitched
her mother's arm violently and said
in a stage whisper:
"Mamma, he has got cars. I can
sec them/'
"Yes/' exclaimed General Logan,
with a twinkle in his eye, "I have
got ears, my little maid, and they
hear."
Tne child's mother blushed crimson
and attempted to stammer out
.an apology, but the general turned
to her and said, with a smile that
rendered his swarthy features radiant
:
"Madam, pray do not distress
yourself. I can assure you they are
not asses' ears."?Xew York Times. ;1
Tramps' Directions.
Take the one single incident of
direction for rendezvous, memoranda,
etc., 011 water tanks and in stations.
I have looked for such with
but very small success, considering
the bulk of the legends about them,
though I have found them. And.
although very striking cases of selection
among houses for begging
purposes have come under my nolice,
1 have never yet found a perfectly
authentic instance of designating

NECESSITY FOR SMILES.
A Discourse on tho Desirability of a
Happy Countenance.
Certain kindly disposed persons
arc in the habit of advising mankind
in a phrase peculiar to photographers
to '"look pleasant" whatever
be their state and condition and to
insist that even aching hearts should
be carried beneath smiling countenances.
Yet just as there are people
who object to those regions
where perpetual sunshine prevails
and where clouds and storms arc
unknown, so there are those who
would find monotonous an ever
cloudless countenance. As an antidote
to melancholy Keats suggested
that when one's beloved exhibited
some "rich anger" to
Imprison her soft hand and let her rave
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless
eyes.
Of course there are smiles more
heartrending than tears and tears
more cheering than smiles, while
the Cheshire cat variety of expression
is pleasant to the point of exasperation.
The smile upon the face
of Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated
Monna Lisa is unendurable to some
people, while over others it casts a
spell not to he resisted. It is said
that the American feminine countenance
is one that leans toward
smiles, and if foreign testimony is
to be trusted there is cause for a
smiling complacency in thr demonstrated
facts that American women
are the best dressed as well as the*
most independent and problem free
of all women. To have the right
things on one's body and the wrongthings
off one's mind is certainly
to be as happy as it is possible for
womankind to be. But as for the
necessity for smiling in all situations
and under all circumstances
that must rest with the individual,
who will probably decide that he
will look as he feels and smile when
he pleases.?Chicago Tribune.
Working 24 Hours a Day.
There's eo rest for those tireless
little workers?Dr. King's New Life
Pills. Millions are always busy, curing

Fever and Ague. The}' banish
Sick Headache, drive out Malaria.
Never gripe or weaken. Small, taste
nice, work wonders. Try them. 2oc

A Curious Sense That Plants Have.
Francis Darwin, speaking before
the members of the British association
at Glasgow, said that a pine
tree grows straight upward because
it possesses a gravitation sense. A
rdiint wliiY-li crows in a curve in or
der to assume the position best suited
to its needs also exhibits a perception
of gravitation. Some flower
stalks are very curiously guided by
the gravitation sense. The common
narcissus is an example. At first
there is a straight shaft piercing the
ground with its compact pointed
flower hud. "But as the flower opens
tin4 stalk bends close to the top and
bring- the flower tube into a roughly
horizontal position, where it
shows oH its brightly colored crown
to the insects that visit it. The
flowers arc guided to the rig1 ; position
hv the gravitation sens . and
they increase or diminish the angular
bend in their stalk till the
right position is attained."

Br Careful of Geography.
When you arc writing a novel,
don't get your geographical facts so
badly mixed as to reflect discredit
upon your early training. Jn one
popular novel the Azores arc referred
to as in a southern latitude.
The writer also introduces his hero
into the antarctic regions in January
and speaks of the "inky blackness'"'
of the nights lie experienced
there. Of course anybody ought to
know that the month ot' January is
the height oL' the antarctic summer,
and the entire month is one continous
day.
