in charge of a party making a
;for &v railroad line between Nag
poor and Hyderbad, India, and as there
V72L3 no hurry about the work our party
^wu-iasVmuch a hunting party as a survey
?ng p?rty. We numbered aboat thirty
tfight^people, ten of whom were white
nen.: We were traveling along the
iocth : branch of the Gadavey Kiver?
sometimes npon its bank and again a
& of miles from the water, Bome
traveling five or six miles a day,
again halting for a conple of days to
or shoot?when a most singular in
nt befell me individually. I had left
,p~at an early hour in the morning to
i*lWhile I carried my rifle with me,
no intention of going out of my
.to find game. On the previous
moon I had observed a capital fishing
it in a bend of the river, and it was to
place I hastened as I left camp,
o of the native servants were astir
w me set oat, but I did not want
their services. It was pretty thick
jungle between the camp and the bend,
but at tho bend there was a clear^apot an
. sere in extent, with aheavyforestgrowth
and a ledge of rocks for a background.
iVs I took a look around before sitting
?:fIk^n on the bank to my sport, I re
. marked that it was a good spot for wild
BHf?tate, but as there was nothing moving
I,wont right to. work with my fishing
tackle. Catching a frog for bait 1 flung
" xn-the hook, and it wasn't five minutes
before I was meeting with such luck that
^^n^hongjijfijif-tigers, snakes and hyenas
^ vwere driven out of my mind.
Iyhad landed hp.lf a dozen good-sized
, and was just then playing with a
one, when a Blight noise startled
e, and I looked around to see such a
tas seldom comes to the eyes , of a
?rtsman. A full-grown tiger was with
af fiTve feet of me, playing with one of
e fish. It was the last fish pulled out,
idin its dying agonies it was jumping
uton thegrass. Every time it moved
t&e tiger reached out a paw in a playful
. cvay, and once or twice he struck hard
s^^Tjgh .to. move the fish three or four
feeV.^^^?^TwasVbadly frightened
an, and all I could do wfEP-tb BEJtnSTel
Ith mouth and eyes open. The tiger
tad'erept down from the bluffs, and why
e. hadn't attacked me was a mystery,
e went from fish to fish, turning them
ver. with his paw, and time and again
rushing, me with his tail as he moved
ji-about. My rifle was ten feet away, lean
".r ing against a buBh, and I might have
been idiot enough to try to reach it but
- for a warning. My personal servant had
: followed me to see what luck I bad. He
cam6 into; the neighborhood while the
? tiger, was playing with the fish, and softly
vTciimbing a tree, he uttered the call of a
bird to attract my attention, and then
; sung out:
."Do nothing to provoke the tiger,
[ ;master.' He is a hitoweele, and if you
vdo not cross him he will go away."
He meant that the spirit, of a good
native had been transformed, and it was
clearly the common sense way to follow
his advice.~ As the beast gave me no
attention I turned to the fish togging at
my line, and landed him. He was of
. good.size and full of vitality, and the
tiger waited in a playful way until I re
V inoved;the hook and threw the fish on
^pho grass. Then he sprang for it as a
bitten would for a ball of yarn, and he
^played with it in the same way. It was
laughable, in spite of the circumstances,
:{ x^toi witness "his actions. He would run
around in circles, as you have seen a
young dog do, sometimes almost leaping
over me, and then again he would be?
come the cat, and creep softly forward
to. pounce upon one of the fish. Each
one as caught was flung to him, and it
was a full half an hour before he grew
; _ tfred of the sport. I expected he would
turn to me sooner or later, but the native
L Osaw: the change of demeanor first and
. called: "Master, the hiloweele is going
r:to.play with you? Be as clay in his
power."
The tiger suddenly left .the last fish
-. Iandejj-?n8 came stalking up to me, pur?
pling like a cat and acting very playful.
His first move was to worm his head un?
der my left arm, and I am telling you
the solemn truth when I say that I
smoothed down his fur as if it had been
HU.favorite dog. I had on a .big straw.
' hat, and this he got hold of in his teeth
}^and played with it for ten minntes, or
until he had torn it to pieces. I had no
more bait to fish with, and drew in the
?/?line, and sat there waiting for the tiger's
'/.' next move. When he had finished the
hat he came over to me and rubbed
against me aud purred in a pleased way,
: . and I rubbed him with my hand from
nose to tail. I gradually got over my
scaroy but was yet very anxious to know
how the affair would end. The sun was
getting well up and very hot, and the
7. "beast would soon be seeking his lair. In
about thirty minutes from the time he
appeared the tiger began to show a change
of demeanor. He acted nervous and
uneasy, and the hair at intervals stood
upon his back. I judged that he had
got the scent of my servant, and such
proved to be the case.
VI dared not rise to my feet, but made
_up my mind I would make a spring off
tho bank into the river. It was infested
with crocodiles, but there was not much
choice between being eaten by beast or
saurian. Once the tiger glared at me
and growled, but the nest moment
whined as if afraid and edged up toward
me as if for protection. The servant
had been keeping a watchful eye on my
strange playmate, and he now believed
- the time had come for decisive action.
He therefore fired his pistol and shouted
at the top of his voice. The effect was
immediate. The beast dropped his tail,
buttered a long-drawn whine, and with a
sort of farewell glance at me, he bolted
for the forest and disappeared.?New

? A public school teacher is credited
" with, the statement that there is no man
living whoknows every one of the 75,000
words in Webster's unabridged dictiona?
ry, nor half, no a third of them. "Nor is
there a man that could define them if he
were asked. Shakespeare, who bad the
richest vocabulary used by any English?
man, employed only 16,000 words. Mil
Ion could pick out from 8,000, but the
- average man, a graduate from one of the
great universities, rare has a vocabulary
of more than 3,000 or 4,000 words. There
are Americans born arid bred who con
' Strive to express all their wants and opin?
ions in 300-- words, and in the rural dis
trid? : the knowledge of 150 or 200 words
is sufficient to carry a man through the
world. So the unabridged dictionary is
cluttered up with 60,000 or more tech?
nical or obsolete words that you never
r hear in ordinary conversation or see in
ordinary books and newspapers."
Family Trouble in Watch Cases.
In four out of every five watches
brought to be regulated, repaired or
cleaned we find some token. Sometimes
it is a bit of ribbon or a lock of hair, or a
rose petal. Bat oftener it's a four-leaf
clover is a love token always. It is by
the maiden fair given to her lover, who
tenderly stows it away in the back of his
watch case and forgets all about it.
When his watch goes wrong he takes it
to a jeweler and doesn't think of the relic
it contains.' It is difficult always to keep
these things straight, and once in a
while we mix them up.
One fellow came in a short time ago
and registered a kick. He took out of
his watch a tiny bit of blonde hair tied
with a piece of pink ribbon, and told me
in good round terms that it bad got bim
into trouble. "I brought my watch here
a couple of Weeks ago to be regulated
and forgot to take ont a four-leaf clover
I had in the back of it. I didn't think
any more about it till last night, when
my girl looked in the back case to see if
the clover was still there. When she
found this lock of blonde hair she fixed
me with a cold, glittering glance and
offered me back my ring. I put in the
next hour trying to explain that I didn't
know anything about the infernal blonde
bair, and I didn't meet with flattering
success. Now if you don't hunt up that
clover I'll make more trouble in your
blanked old store than a deputy sheriff.
And you've got to give me a written
statement that you put this dashed blonde
hair in my watch or I'll prosecute you
for malicious mischief. You hear me 1"
Well, I foresaw trouble in the air, but
took the yellow hair and pink ribbon and
laid it away, and in a day or two a
middle-aged man came in with wrath all
over his face. "What in thunder do you
mean by disrupting a man's family
peace ?" he began, as he pulled out his
watch and took a four leaf clover out of
the back case.
"Do you want to break up a loving
household and get me into the divorce
Court ? I left my watch here with a lock
of my wife's hair in it, and last night she
found this measly four leaf clover in
place of it. I've carried that bit of hair
ever since we were engaged, and if I
don't get U back yon_bad better move to
some" oTher*^own. What' d'ye mean,
anyway? I never picked a four-leaf
clover in my life, nor did my wife, either.
I wouldn't go through the row I had last
night again for your whole blanked store
Now, you bustle and get me back my
own keepsake."
I produced it and explained how it bad
occurred, and his brow cleared. "Now I
think of it," he said, as he started to go,
"just you write me a letter and tell, how
this happened, and sign and Real it for all
you're worth. Women never believe a
man unless be lies to 'em, and I want
something to save me further trouble."
I did so and he departed with his mind at
rest.?From the Jewelers' Weekly.
The Waning Birmingham Boom.
A Birmingham man was in town yes?
terday. He said: "There will never, in
my opinion, be another big boom in
Birmingham like that of a year ago.
Bather may we expect rents and prices
to come down to a normal condition. At
present they are outrageously high.
Times are not*brisk, money is tight, notes
for land purchased on speculation will in
many cases be defaulted, and fortunes
(on paper) are beginning to shrink. I
have known cases where 2 per cent, a
month has been paid for money, and fail?
ures will occur where enormous rents are
paid by men of small capital. Of course
Birmingham is still a marvel of business
and building, but Montgomery men need
not look for any phenomenal boom to let
them out of gambling ventures. There
will be Bolid growth and prosperity, but
an inevitable adjustment will catch many
persons unprepared. I know of property
in notes that is offered at 50 per cent,
discount.
Birmingham is not a healthy city, and
the water is still bad. On the highlands
it ia tolerably salubrious, but board there
is $60 a month. Pneumonia and throat
diseases prevail. I have never felt quite
well since I have been there, but remain
because I can make more money there
than in the lovely "dead" towns of the
State. As to the water, I do not drink it
and feel sorry for all who are compelled
to do so. Hundreds of persons get their
supplies in jugs or 'other vessels from
Lake View and Avondale.
"The papers do not publish mortuary
reports or give out the causes of death,
but th<? doctors, when privately asked, tell
the truth. They admit that the place is
not healthy.
"As to liquor drinking, I think there
are more barrooms in Birmingham, two
to one, than any place on the continent,
and saloon keepers all make money.
Probably there is so much drinking of
whiskey and other intoxicants because of
the ill-repute of the water."?Ammton
{Ala.) Hot Blast.
Bark Continent Wonders.
A traveler who has juBt returned from
an expedition through Central Africa,
gives a vivid description of the horrors of
the Kalahari desert, in which, he says, it
would be quite impossible for any one to
live, were it not for the existence of the
"sama," or wild watermelon, which grows
in profusion, and affords food and drink
to both man and beast. The author sug?
gests that the introduction of the "sama"
would render vast tracts of worthless
land in the United States available for
cattle raising. The natives of the Kala?
hari region always go provided with a
stock of dried poison bags of various
kinds of snakes, and, if bitten, they at
once rub into the wound the poison of
another kind of serpent, which neutral?
izes the venom in the wound. Even
more singular, perhaps, is the statement
that whereas by the sting of the scorpion
there is accompanied extreme pain,
swelling and some danger to life, a native
who is stung at once looks for another
Bcorpion and allows it to sting him, the
second sting entirely counteracting the
effect of the first.

AFTER GEN. LEE'S SURRENDER.
The Confederate- Commander at tho Su?
preme Moment of Trlah
After a little general conversation had
been indulged In by those, present, the
" two letters were signed and delivered, and
the parties prepared t? separate. Lee be?
fore parting asked Grant to notify Meade
Of the surrender, fearing that fighting
might break out on tbat front and lives
be uselessly lost. This request was com?
plied with, and two Union .officers Were
sent through the enemy's lines as the
shortest route to Meade?some of Lee's
officers accompanying them to prevent
their being interfered with. At a little
before 4 o'clock Gen. Lee shook hands
with Gen. Grant, bowed to the other offi?
cers and with Col. Marshall left the room.
One after another we followed and passed
out to the porch.
Lee signaled to his orderly t? bring up
his horse, and while the animal was being
bridled the general stood on the lowest
step and gazed sadly in the direction of
the valley beyond where his army lay?
now an army of prisoners. He smote his
hands together a number of times in an
absent sort of away; seemed not to see
the group of Union officers in the yard
who rose respectfully at his approach, and
appeared unconscious of everything about
him. * 1 appreciated the Badness which
overw ned him, and he had the per?
sonal uj .Upathy of every one who beheld
him at this supreme moment of trial. The
approach of his horse seemed to recall him
from his reverie and he at once mounted.
Gen. Grant now stepped down' from the
porch, and moving towards him, saluted
him by raising his hat. He was followed
In this act of courtesy by all our. .officers
present; Lee raised his hat respectfully in
acknowledgment and rode off to break the
sad hews to the brave fellows whom he
had so long commanded.
Gen. Grant and his star! then mounted
and started for the headquarters camp,
which in the meantime had been pitched
near by. The news of the surrender had
reached the Union lines and the firing of
salutes began at Several points, but the
general stmt birders at once to have them
Btopped, and used these words in refer?
ring to the occurrence: "The war is over,
the rebels are our countrymen again, and
the best sign of rejoicing after the victory
will be to abstain from.all demonstrations
in the field."
Mr. McLean had been charging about
in a manner which indicated that the ex?
citement was shaking his system, to its
nervous center, but his reel trials did not
begin until the departure of the chief
actors in the surrender. Then the relic
hunters charged down upon the manor
house and made various attempts to jump
Mr.' McLean's claims to his own furni?
ture. Sheridan set a good example, how?
ever, by paying the proprietor twenty
dollars in gold for the table at which Lee
sat for the purpose of presenting it to Mrs.
Ouster, and handed it over to her dashing
husband, who started off for camp bear?
ing it upon his shoulder, and looking
like Atlas carrying the world. Ord paid
forty dollars for the table at which Grant
sat, and afterwards presented it to Mrs.
Grant, who modestly declined it and in?
sisted that it should be given to Mrs. Ord,
who then became its possessor. Bargains
were at once struck for all the articles in
the room, and it is even said that some
mementos were carried off in the shape of
flowers and other things for which no
coin of the realm was ever exchanged.?

A Famous Buffalo Range.
From the Bed buttes onward you see
where the millions have gone. This was
once a famous buffalo range, and now
the bleaching skeletons lie scattered
thickly along all the trail. Like ghastly
monuments of slaughter, these ugly ex?
crescences stand out in bold relief on the
smooth, hard surface of the prairie, from
the huge bull skeletons lying close beside
the wagon trail to thoso far back in the
bad lands, where they are merely dark
specks in the distance. They lie today
precisely as they fell four years ago, ex?
cept that the flesh is no longer upon them.
The head stretches far forward, as if for
its last gasp, and the legs lie helplessly
Upon the turf with precisely the same
curves as when they moved for the last
time.
Now and then you come to a place
where the hunter got a "stand" on a
"bunch," and from his hiding place in the
head of a gully or amongst the rocks fired
leisurely with his 40-12O.Sharp's rifle, at
the rate of a shot every two or three min?
utes until every buffalo of the bunch had
fallen. Here you can count seventeen
skeletons on a little more than an acre,
and near by are four more tbat evidently
fell at the same time. The powerful
effect of the strong, parching winds and
the intense dry heat of summer has liter?
ally stripped the flesh from the bones, but
the skeletons lie precisely as they felL
The bones are still held together by a few
dried up ligaments, but are bleached as
white as snow.?W. T. Hornaday in The
Cosmopolitan.
Thakoro Sahib in America.
The Thakore Sahib, of Limbdi, speak?
ing in San Francisco of his journey through
tho United States, said: "The cities of
the eastern states are as good as any in
the world, while the condition of the agri?
cultural districts is better. As I traveled
west the marvels seemed to increase in?
stead of stopping, and the same material
advancement marks all the great western
states. I was singularly impressed with
the beauties of scenery of Yellowstone
park. I think I like the people of the
west better than those of the east. They
seem more home like to me. They think
that the beauties of nature are better than
themselves, and not that they are better
than the beauties'of nature. The great
wheat fields of California presented a
splendid sight to me. Some of the finest
scenery I have ever seen is that of the
Shasta mountains."?New York Tribune.
Origin of an Ancient Proverb.
The dictum that "Cleanliness is next to
godliness" has been ascribed to John
Wesley, but it is said to have originated
from the following sentence by Georgo

plain, but reverend and clean, without
spots or dust, the purity of his mind
breaking out and dilating itself, even to
his body, clothes and habitation."?Chi?

On a Sugar Plantation.
The relations between employer and
employes on a sugar estate are unique.
They are tho nearest approach in America
to a feudal system. Not a foot of land do
the laborers own. Yet their right to homes
and labor on an estate is a sort of unwrit?
ten law, so binding that they are seldom
sent away except for very serious cnuse.
They regard the mules and implements of
the planter as to some extent their own,
using them to cultivate their gardens and
to haul their fuel. In directing the plan?
tation work, he seldom uses any harsh
words of command; talks rather in kindly
tones, scolds a little if needs be, but in
rather a parental fashion; asks opinions
at times from swarthy old "uncles" who
have a standing on the pluce as faithful
men and experts in cane culture; kuows
the strong and weak points in the charac?
ter of every man in his employment. In?
deed his rule is so mild that a stranger to
plantation life wonders how the uncouth
mass of black laborers is held together
and disciplined so as to produce favorable
industrial results. ?E. V. Smalley in The

THE MIMIC W?Effr
THE STAGE CARPENTER'S IMITA?
TIONS OF NATURAL PHENOMENA.
The Means by Which tho Most Realistic
are Produced ? Moonlight, Lightning,
Wind and Rainstorm?Tropical Sceno
on a Cheap Scale.
"Moonlight now is made through apiece
of silk in the drop and gas or calcium
light is used. In old times cheese boxes
were utilized, but now the drums are made
of tin. Formerly for lightning a lycopo
dium torch was used, but hbw & magne?
sium blowpipb Is employed. The best
way to make rain is to tako a box some?
what larger than a cheese box and use peas
and gravel. Tho bottom of the box i3
sheet iron, while the sides nro of wood.
The old way to make wind was to tie to?
gether two shingles and sling theni around
your head, but that was changed because
so many people got hit on the jaw. Now
we use a spinning wheel With a humming
top, which appliance can be worked with
the foot. I used this kind of wind in the
production of 'Ranch 10.' Tho old snow
box with a sieve has gone out of date, and
now w>; use a bag with perforations on
one side. It is tossed about by strings so
that a perfect effect is made. The smoke
box is yet in use, and it would be difficult
to improve it much. You have seen the
effect of snow blowing in at the door, I
suppose? A man comes in out of the
storm, throws the snow off his hat and
brushes it off his shoulders and out of his
beard, if ho has one. Of course the per?
sonal effect is made with salt, but the
storm itself is fanned In by tho use of a
big hoop covered with paper.
"The effect of bringing a locomotive up
to the wings is a very good one when it is
worked properly. The long distance
whistle for brakes is done on a small bot?
tle, one that will hold a gill or two. The
other appliances are two blocks faced with
sandpaper, an egg beater and dlshpan and
a snare drum. The rubbing of the sand?
paper makes the escaping steam, the roll?
ing of the eggbeater in the pan makes the
rumbling of the wheels and the drum
produces the general noise or effect. When
the train draws near a calcium light is
fashed across the stage, and at the same
time all tho noises are worked, as well as
the bass drum, the crashbox and the more
general noise there is the better the ef
feect. In slowing up diminish the sounds
until a full stop is reached, when only the
escape of steam is wanted, but it must
then be continuous.
"For an explosion at sea?or anywhere
else, for that matter?I use charcoal,
steel filings and gunpowder. The powder
produces the shower of sparks. Then we
have a battery of eight gun barrels
fastened to a log, which have to be fired.
It is very .easy to do, but yon have to
work it right or the effect is spoiled. To
represent a trotting horse at a distance
we use cobblestones covered with cloth,
and a meat chopping machine. The old
way was to knock stones on a block, but
it was not so good and had- to be worked
by an experienced man. The new method
is a great effect and would make jov.
think the horse was coming right on the
stage. For an approaching carriage I
march a pole on the floor against the grain
of the wood so that it jumps. That rep?
resents the rumbling; and for the crack?
ing of the whip we use small torpedoes,
until the coachman dashes on the stage
with whip in hand.
"In a fire scene on the stage for touch?
ing it off we throw sulphuric acid on a
preparation of potash and pulverized
sugar, and that saves touching it off as
they used to have to do, and makes a sure
job of it. Sometimes the insurance people
kick, but when we explain it to them that
we have damp cloths to smother it they
do not make any further objection. Ice
cakes are made with soap boxes on rock?
ers. The splashing of the water is made
by throwing up salt filled with spangles.
We used this effect in the 'Lights o' Lon?
don' where the fellow goes off the bridge,
and we employed the same fake in tho
scene of Washington crossing tho Dela?
ware. Stage elevators are worked simply
with counter weights, and are easy to
make. Thunder is made nowadays by
beating a dried cow skin as you would a
bass drum, and the lightning flash which
precedes it comes from throwing a spray
of lycopodium out of a can so that it
comes in contact with a sponge filled with
alcohol on fire.
"In New Orleans I made a big hit with
a tropical scene out of a hundred palm
leaf fans, a few green grape barrels, a
quire of white pasteboard and a quart of
green and yellow paints. The Kiralfys
had a regular modeling shop, in charge of
which was an artist irom Paris. He fixed
the rig by which the north wind knocked
the fisherman into the sea and that by
which the diver went down and brought
him up. You could see the bottom of tho
ocean, fish and all, as natural as fife. An?
other trick is the illusion paint, used by
Hermann in his performances where dark
scenes are to be given. The banjo playing
is done in that way. Tho secret of tho
thing is to charge the paint with magne?
sium. Only a few know that, and I may
get myself into a scrape by giving It away.
The woman who floats in the air is kept

Tho Secret of Advertising.
"The business man who has learned ta
advertise has acquired one of the principal
elements of success," said a printer ol
some experience. "The secret of adver?
tising is not so much to have the notice
read as to have it believed. To lose the
confidence of the public is to lose your
trade. If you advertise in an undignified
manner people begin to look upon you as
a fakir and your goods as shoddy. Tho
largest advertiser in Philadelphia set the
example of taking the public into his con?
fidence and announcing his goods in nu
unassuming manner. His style has been
adopted by nearly all the leading houses.
A person of refinement doesn't like to be
admonished by a tradesman not to be a
chump, and he pays little heed to the man
who tells him that his prices 'knock tho
spots off a speckled pig.' When you want
a suit of clothes the last place you think
of going to is the store that advertises
'gent's pants.' To come back to my own
trade, there are few printers in tho busi?
ness now. They are all either typograph?
ers or typographical artists, and I know
of one man who advertised himself as 'a
worker in the black art and a manipu?
lator of the adjustable alphabet.'
"There was a personal in one of the
Sunday papers some time ago of a 'literary
gent of world wide reputation.' That
fellow betrayed himself by one word, and
probably never knew how he did it. One
needn't go far to seo the questionable
taste of many storekeepers. Boots and
shoes are advertised as 'foot gear,' fish as
'sea food' and liquors as 'wet goods.'
Tho men who peddle grapes from push
carts at three cents per half pound have
a habit of turning down one end of their
paper signs so that the word 'half is
hidden. The man whq>eomplains of short
measure has the sign straightened out for
him. When he has gone the sign is b mt
back again.?New Vork Evening Sun.

"Yes, but it is rather young."
" 'Bather young?' Why, it is over 800
years old."
"That may be," returned the second
speaker, who combines with his profession
of architecture a profound knowledge of
forestry, "but that is not very old for a
tree."
"Perhaps not for Europe or Asia, but
recollect that this is a new country," ob?
served the reporter, who had accompanied
him to Central park, whero a handsome
oak tree attracted their attention.
"How old do you think that obelisk is?"
inquired the architect. *
"A little over 3,000 years."
"Well, what would you say if I told
you I that in one of the younger states of
the Union I had sat under a tree that was
full grown and vigorous when the Egyp?
tians wore toiling on that shaft?"
"I presume I should have to believe
you."
1 'As you please about that. But I have
chipped bark off a pino tree in Calaveras
county, Cal., that spread Bhade over many
square feet of ground before those pot?
hooks were carved on tho side of that col?
umn. This tree that I speak of is sup?
posed to be the oldest tree in the world.
Its ago is estimated at 3,500 years. Tho
climate of the Pacific slope- seems to bo
wonderfully preservative for trees of its
kincL"
"Could a tree ever live that long in this
climate?"
'?'I doubt it. No treo certainly- ever
has. But when you speak of this being a
new country, bear in mind that all coun?
tries were made about the same time and
trees were nob made by men."?New

What is Ibis Disease that is Coming
? Upon Us ?
Like a thief at night it steals
in upon us unawares The pa
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometime:
in the back. They feel duli
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of stinky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy* , The eyes are" stinken,
the bands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at .first dry, but
after a few months it is attend?
ed with a greenish-colored ex?
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl?
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow?
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eye3 become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de?
positing a sediment after stand?
ing. There is frequently a
spitting up of the food, some?
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently at?
tended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes im?
paired, with spots before the
ayes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu?
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
It has been found that phy?
sicians have mistaken the cau i
of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
jthers for kidney disease, etc.,'
etc., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. It
is also found that Shaker Ex?
tract of Eoots, or Mother Sei
^el's Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN
COTTON.
Mr. John C. Hemptinstall,
of Chulafirmee, Cleburn Co.,
Ala., writes: "My- wife has
been so much benefited by
Shaker Extract of Boots or
Seigel's Syrup that she says
me would rather be without
;)art of her food than without
the medicine. It has done her
more good than the doctors and
all other medicines put together.
I would ride twenty miles to
get it into the hands of any suf?
ferer if he can get it in no other
way. I believe it -will soon sell in
this State better than cotton.
TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
Mr3. S.E. Barton, of Varner,
Ripley Co., Mo., writes that
she had been long afflicted with
dyspepsia and disease of the
urinary organs and was cured
by Shaker Extract of Roots.
Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant,
of the same place, who sold
Mrs. Barton the medicine, says
he has sold it for four years
and never knew it to fail.
SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD
I was so low with'dyspep?
sia that there was not a phy?
sician to be found who could
do anything with me. 1 had
fluttering of the heart and
swimming of the nead. One
day I read your pamphlet called
"Life Among the Shakers" ?
which described my disease
better than I could myself. I
tried the Shaker Extract of
Roots and kept on with it until
to-day I rejoice in good health.
