The other day Blowser called Brimble, who is rather thin, a "desiccated coyote." Brimble made a minute statement and then went to a lawyer to see if he could not have Blowser arrested for libel. The disciple of Blackstone, Coke and i'Auld Clootie" ran his legal eyes over the old parchment cover of Brimble's "soul case" and shook his head. "I fear," said he with a sigh, "that it is not actionable." "No?" said Brimble. "What then can I do with Blowser ?" "Kftt.hinff as matters stenrl hllfc we mav manage to bring things to a focus in some way that will give us a hold' upon the fellow. You go back to him and call him a posthumous pumpernickel. Try that to begin with; then, if necessary, we may advance to something stronger and still not render ourselves liable." "Call him a posthumous pumpernickle, shall I?" "Yes; I think we'll start out on that, and if it does not bring him to a focus actionable we will then proceed to brand him as a 'stultus schnadahupfl' or a gutta percha gansbauch." "Well, as to the 'posthumous pumpernickel,' shall I say it to his face?" "To his teeth?throw it into his very teeth!" An hour later Brimble came back to his legal adviser with a watch fob cut over his left eye, two front teeth knocked out, and his upper lip puffed out beyond the end ol his nose. "Ah, cried the wielder of legal thunderbolts rnhhino- hi* hands with satisfaction as he gazed upon the dilapidated visage of his client^-Ah ! I already see the first fruits of our little stratagem. Now we begin to stand on solid ground. We may now open our guns upon Blowser on a charge of assault and battery. I'll get him fined $10 * and shall not charge you over $20 or $25 to carry the whole business through." "But, must I pay $20 and then only get him fined $10?" "I must acknowledge, my dear fellow, that such is the situation as the case now stands; but you may go back?now while he is hot and reckless?and call him a gutta percha gansbauch, and the result will probably justify us in bringing a charge ol assault with intent to muraer." "No," sadly said Brimble, "I guess I'll not proceed beyond the posthumous pumpernickel' to day, I feel like taking a rest before commencing the 'ganslmuch' business."?Dan DeQuille in New York Sun. Mr. Jones Goes Shopping.?"Jeptha," said Mrs. Jones, as her husband rose from the dinner table, "I wish you would get me some skeins of embroidery silk at some of the dry goods stores, and save me from going down town to-day." "All right," said Jones, airily; "what color do you want ?" "O, a mixed gray and black, something like your hair," said Mrs. Jones, pleasantly. The first store that Jones went into the girls stood in line behind the silk counter, and looked him over as he approached ; he felt cold chills running up ana down his vertebrte, his knees shook and a clammy perspiration started out on his noble brow as he asked for embroidery silk. "What color?" asked one of the salesladies. as she smiled sweetly at Jones' mus tache. "Just the color of your hair," he said in a soft, beseeching: tone, that sounded like a cat lapping cream. And then he saw a change come over the face of the girl, even as a thunder storm crosses the blue of a summer sky, and she turned her back to him, pulled down a box, . slammed it on the counter, jerked off the cover and revealed a mass of scarlet silks. Jones started. Good heavens! The girl had fiery red hair. He made his peace with her finally, and got out of the store alive. He stud it was nis own hair he meant, and he took off his hat humbly, and she got the mixed skeins and gave them to him with his change. "It would have saved you some trouble if you had told me in the first place that you wanted silks the color of a singed owl," she said,- sweetly. Jones says it was a hair breadth escape for him. He Was Very Fresh.?A young man who had introduced himself to a young lady by raising the window for her, was glibly talking of his travels. He has been a good many places during his lifetime, hadn't forgotten any of them and didn't seem to miss one in his account. He was so much interested In his conversation that he failed to notice the lady's frequent yawning and other palpable evidences that she was feeling bored. "As for water," he said, "I just love the water. I am a splendid sailor. Never had anvfrnnhloof all "Vovor orr>t enarorl rPhn\r used to call me a regular old salt. I?" "But you never sailed on the saltwater, did your' "Yes, yes, indeed. Many a time. But why did you ask?" "Oh, I was merely thinking you hadn't." Chicago Herald. A Moving Tail.?"Here, boys," called a man. "Come here and catch this rat. Biggest rat you ever saw run under that pile of lumber. Throw it over here. Now we'll get him." Three or four boys went to work and moved an enormous*pile of lumber, but did not find the rat. "The owner of that lumber will be mad," said some one, addressing the man who had called the boys. "No, he won't." I am the owner." "Why, you must indeed be an enemy to rats, going to so much trouble to catch one." "I didn't see any rat." "Then why did you have the boys tear down your lumber?" "Oh, you see I wanted it moved."?Arkansaw Traeler. How the Queen of Sheba Traveled.?How did the Queen of Sheba travel when she went to see Solomon?" asked Miss It?of her- Sunday school class of little girls. No one ventured an answer. "If you had studied your lesson you could not have helped knowing," said their teacher. "Now, look over the verses again." "Could she have gone by the cars?" asked Miss It?, beginning to lose patience, as the children consulted their books, but appeared to arrive at no conclusion. "Yes'm," said a little girl at the end of the class. "She went by steam cars." "Did she, indeed!" said Mis9 It?. "Well, Louise, we would like to know how you found that out." "In the second verse," responded the -LMJ U*l.

"Eh? I hadn't heard of that. Are the ten commandments taken out?" "Oh, no." "I don't want it." Qgr A clerk of one of Boston's courts tells a story of a somewhat flighty lawyer, who was once trying a case in which there was a great scarcity of witnesses, and the evidence was about all circumstantial. Finally, the lawyer got excited and exclaimed; "Why, judge, the angel Gabriel came to me last night and said this man is innocent." The judge, who happened to^ be writing, did not even look up, but said in the most matter-of-fact way, "Let him be subptenaed."?Boston Globe.

Profit ix Fruit Dryixg.?When fruit i! sells too low for profit it is time to preserve 11 it and reap treble gains. The quickest and i cheapest ways of keeping fruit will be found j most profitable, and are the only ways in which a grower can work off a crop in time , ' to save it. Dried fruit is easily handled, , and Is'coming back into favor with the j knowing housekeepers, who recognize good ; things and know how they should be cook- i ed. No expense for evaporators is necessa- j ry. I long since made up my mind that j evaporated fruit is inferior to sun-dried in i flavor, and talking with old dealers in family stores find they prefer the sun dried for their own use. The best cook I ever knew says the same, and there is reason for it. The sun ripens and develops sugar and flavor in cut fruit dried in its rays. To have a nice quality ol dried fruit, select firm nice ripe specimens, wipe clean, pare and cut j with silver knives, as steel turns them black on the edges, and hurry into the sun as fast as they can be prepared. The cheapest and best way of drying fruit is to lay it on lengths of coarse cloth, suspended on a frame out of doors, in full sun, with white mosquito netting over to keep off shreds and insects. This allows the air to reach both sides of the fruit at once, and when you want to turn it, the whole can be swung over on another cloth, leaving the first ready for a new batch. Apples should be cored, pared and cut in eight pieces. Peaches should not be pared, for the richest 1 flavor is lost with the skin. They should 1 have the fur removed by dipping baskets of them a moment into weak boiling lye of wood ashes or common potash, and wiping with coarse towels. Common peaches only need be cut in halves to dry. We had : peaches dried in this way last winter, which when cooked would be hard to tell from the best canned peaches in looks, with richer flavor.?Lick's Magazine. The Management of Heavy Clays.? Though vegetable matter is highly important for heavy clays, it does not follow that green manuring is always helpful to immediate fertility. We have known large growths of fodder corn and Hungarian grass plowed under late in the season, when the wheat crop following was rather injured than benenefitted. In some cases it makes the soil too porous, thus causing it to absorb and retain a large amount of water, which alternately expands and contracts by freezing and thawing. In other instances the green manure plowed under late in the fall turns sour, forming the green scum on the surface which is the common indication that acid is being generated to poison all vegetable life. When green manure is plowed under early in the season, however, it never foils to produce good results. Its fermentation not only increases heat, in which heavy soils are deficient, but it disintegrates the particles of soil and thus makes available much plant food that would otherwise have been locked up in the clods. While it is true that these green manures give back to the soil no mineral elements not first taken from it, yet the fact is undoubted that soils abounding in clay will endure this exhausting process longer than any others. That which heavy soil most suffers from is a system of cultivation and cropping which exhausts their due proportion of vegetable matter. When this is 1 gone the labor of tilling is greatly increased as the crop is lessened. + ? Curing Green Fodder.?Much of the value of green fodder depends upon the method of curing. Usually a considerable ' portion of grass clover and green fodder escapes, and is lost during the exposure to the 1 sun and wind in drying it on the field. The best dry fodder or hay is cured by fermen1 tation in the cock. One of the chief points of value in ensilage is the process of fermentation in curing, by which the woody fibre is softened and partly turned to gum, starch and sugar, and is made soluble and digestible; When grass or green fodder is cut and wilted only and then put up in heaps or cocks 0 feet in diameter and 5 feet high it soon heats and ferments and undergoes a process of curing, which is to some extent partial decomposition?in a chemical sense . only, however, which is change to other valuable elements, but not disorganization. This process is permitted to go so far as it is safe and useful, when it is arrested by complete drying by opening the cocks and exposing them to the air and sun until the moisture is evaporated. The hay or fodder is then soft and pliable, and not brittle and harsh, and does not break up in handling, and its color ischanged to a brownish green. It may then be stored in the usual manner. Field PeXs.-t-A correspondent of the Southern'Cultivator gives the following advice about peas: For making vine as well as for hardiness and uniformity of ripening, the clay pea, or old fashioned cow pea is the best. It is late in maturing, but this is no objection, when hay is the object, because the dry cool weather of October is the best of all to cure it in. We prefer to cut it when the young pods are pretty well formed. Where seed is the object we prefer an early maturing variety?a rain will often make a crop of these, when a slow grower would fail to ripen. For earlyness and standing the weather, the black pea, which came to Georgia from Tennessee, under the name of Virginia black pea, is the best we have ever planted. It is quite as early as the speckled or whippoorwill. We had it some years ago, but in changing locality, have about lost it. For hay, cut when dry; as soon as-it is slightly wilted put in cocks (narrow and high,) in a day or two combine two or three cocks in a large one, and continue combining, until about cured?avoid exposure to sun and dew. House when cured. Ax Antidote for Poison.?If a person swallows any poison whatever, or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous remedy, most efficient and applicable in a large number of cases, is a neaping teaspoonful of common salt and as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a teaeupful of water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing with it the remaining contents i of the stomach; and lest there be any ref mains of the poison, however small, let the white of an egg or a teaspoonful of strong coffee be swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet, because these very common articles nullify a farge number of virulent poisons. The pig is no exception to the rule that 1 all domestic animals require salt. The few animals which are fed slops from the house 1 will get some salt in this kind of feed, but not enough, and they do better if a mixture of salt and ashes is left where they can eat as l they wish. Many believe that lack ofproper I salting is one cause of hog cholera where . I ln??/?A o vn L'Drvf onrl r*i irAn nrro i n n n/I laigc ul u v CD aic nv.pu unvt t v*i Muv? water. When men are deprived of salt serious diseases result. In some respects the internal structure of human beings resembles that of the pig. ; &aT There is no such disease as hollow l horn. When cattle are sick their horns are 1' apt to be cold, but we must look elsewhere J than to the horn for the disease. Indigestion is quite apt to be the cause, and this ! is often accompanied by loss of appetite, in- j l dicated by a refusal to chew the cud. It is ' a popular mistake to suppose that the cud has been lost and must be replaced. We 1 might as well talk of putting an appetite j into a dyspeptic man. Exercise and care; ful feeding will bring cattle around all right, i1 and men also, for that matter. > j SlNFLOWKU Seed kou Houses.?Half a ; pint of sunflower seed given to a horse with | his other food night and morning will keep him in better health and better spirits than > he will be without, while his hair will be brighter. When a saddle horse is required j > to be particularly sprightly he may be givi en a pint of sunflower seed with his oacs at ! night, and half as much in the morning; he ! will be found more antic and sprightly du- j ring the day, and consequently be more ! pleasant to the rider. Never plow the soil when it is so wet I as to turn over in compact masses. The vij tality of soils is thus destroyed, and the effect is soon observable in degeneration of crops. Wait until the plowshare crumbles j the soil, and then the best results of cultivation are obtained. ANTS. Ants are considered the most highly developed of the insects. Indeed, none of the lower animals possess such remarkable instincts. They show great wisdom and ingenuity in building their nests and in reaching any desired point. They make roads for themselves by carefully removing any obstacle. They also dig tunnels of considerable length, sometimes resorting to this methad for crossing broad rivers. They protect their nests, tight battles, gather food, tend their young, takecare of domestic animals, and possess slaves. Their industry is not excelled by the bees and wasps. They work all day, and when there is a necessity, o?on ??< niirhf A nta 1 ivp in families. con sisting of males, females and workers. At first the young males and females are furnished with wings, and they fiy from the nest to select their mates. Immediately after this first and only flight, the males die, and the females strip off their wings, ana do not leave the nest again. The workers are much more numerous than the other classes; some of them serve as soldiers; others, which are generally smaller, serve as nurses. All the labor of the colony falls upon the workers, and they attend to their various duties in the most orderly manner. Ants do not all build their nests in the same way. Some species heap up a mass of small sticks and pine leaves; some bore into the trunks of trees; but most ants make holes in the ground, with little mounds of earth around the entrance, which we speak of as an antrhill. These nests are carefully contrived, with passages and avenues leading to many chambers. The entrances are dosed every night and opened in the morning. If it rains they remain closed, and the ants are I confined within the nest. The eggs, which are scarcelo large enough to be visible, are not deposited in any special place by the fe 1?K,,f ?i,n nnreoc rme?ps<sinn nf Iliai^S) UUl LllV. 1JUICV.O Mtnv ^v^wvw./.w.. them immediately, and are henceforth devoted in their attentions. The tiny eggs are carried to some favorable place, and are constantly licked and cleaned, and their position frequently changed. From the eggs are hatched little white grubs, which are entirely dependent upon their nurses for food. Everyday they are carried into the sunshine, or at least to the upper chambers that have been warmed by the sun, and toward evening they are all taken back to the bottom of the nest, where there is no chilliness. Just think of the labor, each one of those thousands of larvie carried separately in the mouth of a faithful nurse ! If a shower comes on, or if the young family is threatened with danger, they are quickly taken to some safe place. When ready to enter the pupa; state, the larvie cover themselves witna sort of webb, and are still carried hack and forth by the nurses who continually clean them. Sir John Lubbock, in his recent work on ants, states that when the purpie are ready to leave their cases, the nurses help them to escape. "It is very pretty," he says, "to see the older ants helping them to extricate themselves, carefully unfolding their legs and smoothing out the wings with truly feminine tenderness and delicacy." Ants not only keep their homes neat, but they are careful of their own personal cleanliness. Their little feet are covered with hairs, which form good brushes, and no particles of dust are allowed to remain on their bodies. They may often be seen rubbing their feet together to clean them, as flies do .?Harper's Young People. fas7 trains. Three of the oldest and most competent engineers to whom was committed the running of the fast trains, not long since asked relief at the hands of the superintendent of 'i 1 "1* I?.1 ftnf + mantal lilt! rutui. 1i1cj tutu iuuuu iiihu ui& Iiivuiui and nervous strain which came upon them while urging their locomotives at this high rate of speed was so great that they found themselves unable to bear it. One of these men, an acquaintance of our informant, was a few months before a stalwart man, with a nervous organization which seemed capable of bearing anything that could be put upon it. He now had grown thin and haggard, while his brawny hand was trembling as if an incipient palsy had stricken him. He had been compelled to say to the management: "You must give me a slow freight train upon which I can have an opportunity to recover myself, or I shall he compelled to resign my position in order to save my health, and even my life." To these men, the excitement, coupled with responsibility, great enough at ordinary times, becomes simply unbearable when their engine was rushing over the rails at a speed of fifty or sixty miles an hour. These men were trained men, schooled to calmness and alertness combined, and had years of experience, but this excessive demand was too much for them. There is something pathetic in this statement. It is well known that the. relative cost of running a railload train at a high speed is vastly more than running the same train at a lower rate, and the wear and tear of locomotive, rail, and road-bed are so much greater, but we do not remember to have seen any facts exhibited as to the enhanced,'loss of nerve and vital power taken from the men who control these material forces. That does not, as far as we know, ever appear in any annual report of the directors of a railroad. Possibly it has never been taken into the account or had a thought. The passenger sits calmly enjoying the gentle sway or the glide as the telegraph poles flit by him, and steps from the car with an exultant remark about the less than two hours betwen the cities nearly a hundred miles apart, but gives nevera thought to the man in front who, with strained eye, and hand on the lever, was all the time giving literally, moment by moment, a part of his life for those whose safety depended upon the touch of his hand upon the polished bar.?Christum Union. The Towers of Science.?When Lord Randolph Churchill was in Bombay a little time since, he visited, among other places of interest in the surrounding neighborhood, the towers of science. As a result of this visit the followingcomments are to be found incribed in the visitors' book, with the noble lord's signature at the foot: "At the request of the secretary of the Parsee Punchayet, I allow myself to express the opinion that funeral obsequies conducted in accordance with the teachings and precepts of Zoroaster, as they have been explained to me though peculiar to a comparatively limited number of the inhabitants of this earth, and undoubt- . edly novel to the stranger from the west, i are entirely agreeable to the principles of j a pure religion, and may be and are ingeniously and powerfully supported by! physiological science and experience." The Parsees, who are a very active-and j rich class in Bombay, will no doubt feel ! flattered that their practice of exposing their j dead on the towers, to be eaten by vul- j tures according to the Zoroastian behest, | should be thus favorably regarded by one j so well known in the political world of the ! western island with which their great em- j pire is associated. The practice has certainly much to recommend it in a tropical country; it is cheap, cleanly, and exceedingly) expeditious.

Lord Randolph Churchhill, like many other European visitors, may have felt the towers a rather gloomy and repugnant sight; but the trouble of a journey to them is more than repaid by the magnificent view to be had from the 1 terrace in front of them of Bombay and the Indian ocean.?London World. Is the Color of tiie Sun Blue??It may be asked, What suggested the idea that the sun may be blue rather than any other color? My own attention was first directed this way many years ago, when measuring the heat and light from different parts of the sun's disk. It is known that the sun has an atmosphere of its own, which tempers its heat, and by cutting off certain radiations, and not others, produces the spectral lines we are familiar with. These lines we customarily study in connection with the absorbing vapors of sodium, iron and so forth, which produce them ; but my i own attention was particularly given to the j regions of absorption, or to the color it j caused; and I found that the sun's body j must be deeply bluish, and that it would ' shed blue light, except for this apparently caiorless solar atmosphere which really plays the part of a reddish veil, letting a little of the blue appear on the centre of the sun's disk where it is thinnest, and staining the edge red, so that to delicate test the centre of the sun is a pale aquamarine, and its edge a garnet. The effect I found to be so important that, if this all but invisible solar atmosphere were diminished by but a third part, the temperature of the British Islands would rise above that of the torrid ^zone; and this directed my attention to the great practical importance of studying the action of our own terrestrial atmosphere on the sun, and the antecedent nmKahilitir fhaf mir nuin nir WAS ftlsO independently making the really blue sun into an apparently white one.?Prof. lAingfey, in Science. Vagaries of the Insane.?A lunatic at the Morris Plains, N. J., Asylum was mute for five years. Even the physicians thought he had lost the power of speech. One day two of his fingers were mangled in a washiug machine. To the astonishmentof everybody who heard him he exclaimed: "By the great and jumping Moses, a devil is better than an inventor." That was years ago, and he has not spoken since. Another patient, a boy in the same institution, is a lightning calculator. The most intricate problems are solved by him in fractions of a minute. The boy believes that his head is filled with little blocks with figures upon them, and they instantly fall into different positions and work out the problems. He thinks his brain, in fact, is a multiplication table. His insanity seems pardonable, for only a few sane men can compete with him as a mathematician. Every day he soaks his head in water to prevent the blocks from rattling, and occasionally he begs for oil to put into his ears so that the imaginary squares will slip upon each other more easily. Self-Possession and Ability.?Selfpossession is something apart from ability. It is more in one direction and less in another. Many persons of great abilities are painfully lacking in sen-possession, anuouiers of very small powers are rarely at a loss. It comes rather through a fair degree of self-knowledge and practical exercise of the abilities, great or small, which we do possess. Our own experience shows us this. Most of us are self-possessed in at least one direction, and that we shall find to be the case in which we have had the most constant practice and the best opportunities of testing ourselves. The mechanic or business man or woman or artist or philosopher, may be undecided, vacillating, consrtrained and ill at ease in general society, or in political circles, or in a hundred other situations, but in their respective employments or in matters closely connected with them, they at once assume a calm and assured manner that tells of their regained self-possession? Boston Home Journal. Increase of Longevity.?"Longevity has increased within half a century from the average of thirty-three years to that of forty-four," said a scientist. "The methods of prolonging life have increased and the system of hygiene has been so far improved upon that, as a doctor remarked to hie notion* 'tliorn is nn reason whv vou should ever die, if you follow instructions and take the medicine given.' Then again it is asserted by some that people living in the cities are not so long lived as those residing in the country. That is only true by reason of the fact that in cities people in a general way dissipate more than those in the country and wear life out. But that fjortion who lead regular lives live just as ong as those in the rural districts living the same way. Then the inference naturally is that it is not the place, climate considered, but the people themselves who prolong or shorten their existence." Removing a Glass Stopper.?The glass stopper to a bottle often becomes so tirmly fixed that it resists all ordinary elforts to remove it. Apothecaries, who handle such bottles daily, often acquire skill in starting the fixed corks. A sudden tap with a hard stick or knife handle will often allow the stopper to be readily taken out. If it has been put in place while somewhat warm, the neck of the bottle will contract and hold it very fast. If the neck of the bottle be surrounded by cloth wet with hot water, the glass will ussually expand and allow the stopper to be taken out with ease. The most difficult cases are where the liquid in the bottle is of such a kind that it may form a sort of cement between the cork and the socket. Place such a bottle stopper downward in a saucepan containing water. Let the whole soak for some hours; then place the saucepan on the stove and heat the water gradually. Try the stopper from time to time; usually it may be removed long before the water is hot enough to boil. How ax Insect Breathes.?If we take any moderately large insect, say a wasp or a hornet, we can see, even with the naked eye, that a series of small, spot-like marks run along either side of the body. These apparent spots, which are generally eighteen or twenty in number, are, in fact, the apertures through which air is admitted into the system, and are generally found in such a manner that no extraneous matter can by any possibility find entrance. Sometimes they are furnished with a pair of homy lips, which can be opened and closed at the will of the insect; in other cases they are densely fringed with still interlacing bristles, forming a filter, which allows air, and air alone to pass. But the apparatus, of whatever character it may be, is always so wonderfully perfect in its action that it has been found impossible to inject the body of a dead insect with even so subtle a medium as spirits of wine, although the subject was first immersed in the fluid and then placed beneath the receiver of an air pump.? Boston Budget. Diplomatic Argument.?Speaking of two legislative bodies as against one, there is no better illustration than the story that is told by the great French publicist, Laboulaye, of Washington and Jefferson. Jefferson was taking tea with the father of his country,and having recently returned from France, was talking of the French system, which has but one legislative chamber. Washington listened with interest to the end, and then said: "You have just shown the superior advantage of the two chamber systems of legislation." "IIow is that?" asked Jefferson. "Why, you have poured your tea out of your cup into yonr saucer to cool." It is said that the argument was considered a powerful one with Jefferson.?Cleveland Plaindealer. Color of Flowers.?Sir John Lubbock has recently described some curious experiments bearing on the preference for certain colors exhibited by bees, and having reference to the important part which they play in removing pollen from one flower to another. He placed on a lawn small pieces of differently colored paper, each paper having upon it drops of honey. By this means he found, after many observations, that the bees seemed to prefer blue to any other tint. This is a curious result, seeing that they have so much to do with the origin of flowers, blue dowers being more rarely found than those of any other color. The -Weight of Am.?All know that air has weight, but one is apt to have rather vague ideas as to the weight of comparatively limited quantities of it. A cubic foot of air weighs 0:18.1 grains, or something over 1 ounce; 13.0G cubic feet weighs one pound. About GO feet of cubic air furnish one pound of oxygen. An apartment 8 feet high, 12 feet wide and 13 feet long contains about 100 pounds of air; and a room 40 feet square and 18 feet high contains about a ton.

Sonn* ten years ago I had a scrofulous sore on my right hand which gave me great trouble, and under the oldtime treatment was healed up, and I supposed I was well. I found, however, it had only been driven into my system by the use of potash and mercury, and in March, 1882, it broke out in iny throat and concentrated in what some of the doctors denominated cancer. I was placed under treatment for this disease. Some six or seven of the best physicians in the country had me at different times under their charge, among them three specialists In tills line; but one after another would exhaust their skill and drop me for I grew worse continually. The cancer had eaten through my check, destroying the roof of my mouth nnd upper lip, then attacked my tongue, palate, and lower lip, destroying the palate and under lip entirely and half my tongue, eating out to the top or iny left check bone and up to the left eye. From n healthy, robust womnn of 150 pounds, I was reduced to a mere frame of skin and bones, almost unable to turn myself in bed. I could not ent any solid food, but sutisisted on liquids, and my tongue was so far gone I could not talk. The anguish of mind and the horrible sufferings of body which 1 experienced never can be revealed. Given up by physicians to die, with no hope of recovery upon the part of friends who sat nround my bedside expecting every moment to be my last; in fact, my husband would place his hand upon me every now and then to see whether I was alive, or not, and at one time all decided that lire was extinct, anu iny ueiuu mu i^hcn ?> ...... the conntry. Such was my wretched and helpless condition the first of Inst October (1884), when iny friends commenced giving Swift's Specific. In lent than a month the entitle places stopped and henline commenced, and the fearful nperture In my cheek has heen closed and firmly knitted together. A process of a new under lip is progressing finely, and the tongue, which was almost destroyed, is being recovered, and it seems that nature is supplying a new tongue, f can talk so that my friends can readily understand me and can eat solid food again. I am able to walk about wherever 1 please without the assistance of any one, and have gained fifty pounds of flesh. All this, under the blessing of a mercifully Heavenly Father is due to Swift's Specific. I am a wonder and a marvel to all my friends, hundreds of whom linvc known my intense sufferings,and have visited me in my afflictions. While 1 am not entirely well, yet my gratitude is none the less devout, and I atn confident that a perfect recovery is now In sight. If any doubt these facts, I would refer them to Hon. John H. Taylor, State Seiintor, of this district, who is my neighbor, Dr. T. S. Brndfit'ld,of LaGrange, Ga., or to any persons living in the southern part of Troupe county, Ga. MRS. MARY L. COMER.
