Strange Return of the Lost Cap tain's Picture After Many Tears. They that go down to the sea in ships learn much of the mysteries of life. From the coast of Africa, there traveled to Scarhoro. Me., the painting of an old-time sea captain of that town, who long years ago was lo:it wftd all on board his ship in the China seas. The ship sailed from the home port with every' pros pect of a successful voyage, but she never returned to the home land. Years went by and she was given up as lost; Her name was taken from the shipping list, and no news came back to the waiting ones at home. Long afterwards a passing vessel picked up off the African coast the portrait of an American sea captain such as the Chinese artists paint, and on the back of the picture was the captain's name and that of the port from which he sailed. The painting was forwarded to the little American town, and it was fouud to be a picture of the Scarhoro sea cap tain, master of the lost vessel that had left the harbor so many years ago.?Kennebec Journal. The Eyeball and Vision. Dr. Alexander Schaefer ha3 been investigating the vision of many an imal species and lias found that the size of the eyeball is the principal iactor o the acuteness of vision. The bovine species has the sharpest sight. The second place is occupied by man and the horse. w,hich have nearly equal visual powers; the third by the sheep. Small, ana (specially small oyed animals, whether mammals, birds . amphibia or reptiles, have very poor sight. Owls and birds are the only birds that possess great icuteness of vision. It has lung bopn known that dogs have such indistinct vision that as a rule _ dog is not able to recognize his master by sight alone. SoJitude in Chunks.

OPENED THE FIRST The Mont de Picte a Great Success in Paris?It's Itun in tue Interest of the Poor Under Direct Govern ment Control, und Ls a Boon tu Humble Folk. Lending money upon property great and small is probably as old ia human society itself. T.ut It was n >t until Middle .Ages tnat authority stepped in to prevent abuses in this? connection and protect tae massed of the people from usurers. In the middle of the fifteenth cen tury there was between the churcn and the' monarchs a third powsr. which, although it worked in secret, nevertheless dictated terms to the proudest nobles. This power was tne purse of the Jew. In 1464 Pius II. opened the first State Pawnshop in beautiful oid Perugia?that ancient cradle of art on the quiet Umbrian. Hills. The idea was to relieve the peasants and humble laborers who unquestionably often passed their lives in utter ser vitude to the money-lenders. The necessary capital was obtain ed by pious appeals to the rich and noble, and in a few years branch^ were founded in every city in Italy. For generations thereafter these es tablishments were under church con trol, but gradually they became a part of the public service. The system took three centuries to cross the Alps Into France. It waa in 1778 that M. Necker, the famous minister of Louis XVI. caused the first lantern of the Mont de Piete 10 be hung out in Paris. Twelve years later, however, the revolution broke out and the constituent assembly de cided to close up the short-lived institution. Naturally enough the old pawn brokers and usurers at once resumed business and were more extortion .tc than ever, the game being now ?a tirely in their hands under peculiar ly advantageous conditions. Their oppression indeed became so great an evil that the provisional govern ment had sense enough to restore Vie row famous Mout de Piete, as the State Pawnbroking Department jf France is called. This vast national concern Is run In the interests of the poor under di rect control of the government. It is a kind of state bank, receiving de posits from the people on which 't now pays about four per cent, in terest, and it lends money at nino per cent. No private person is allowed to lend money on goods in Paris or in any other part of France. This Is a state monopoly conducted as we shall see with machiutr-like piecisioj. with no unseemly haggling, nc hurry, no discourtesy and no .in kindness. The Mont de Piete in deed with its auxiliary offices In even- quarter of the great >:ity or Paris and "succursales" or branches throughout the provincial cities .is beyond doubt a very real buon to millions of humble folk, it will take into safe-keeping aud otorag.; the stove of the street chustn?t seller at the approach of spring; and takes charge of the "fountain of the iced drink peddler when chilly October warns him his trade is at an end. It will lend the out-of-wrrk laborer sixty cents on his tools tha' he may go here and there in seard: of employment. The headquarters of the institution are in the Rue des Blanc-Manteaux and there are two great bran.-has <>? succursales, one in the Rue Roquet te, and the other in the Rue de Bon aparte. The latter is the more Inj portaut and is somewhat incongru ously placed near that noble Institu tion the Ecole des Beaux Arts. One enters through a passage leading in to an open court surrounded on ab sides by the various buildings of the Mont de Piete. On the left, as you enter, is tlie department of "Degage ments." where the p.-osperous re deem their pledges. Next cor.ies the hall of "Engagements." where art! cles are received and beyond that *.nt immense auction room where unre deemed pledges are sold. It is curious to observe that al though crowds are present in th? various departments, pledging, ?v deeming or buying at auction, then is no noise or excitement and cor toinly no confusion. It is an anx'o i crowd but a silent one which passe:? about the counters of the receiving department.

Professional piety is satisfied with the salary. r- t EALS \ OLD SORES No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic ular spot; if this vere true simple cleanliness and local applications would Iieal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are beinjj constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of wa^te have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the.necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. ? Every symptom suggests pollution and disease?the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and can therefore have no real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble I ?.van t to recommend S. S. S. to any who are in need of a blood purifier.'and especially as a remedy for sores and obstinate ulcers. In 1877 I had my lee badly cut on the sharp edge of a barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A Croat sore formed and for years no one knows what I suffer*! with the place. I tried, i: seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of, but I got no relief and I thought I would have to go through life with an angry, discharging sore on my leg. At last I began the use of S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw that the place was improving. I continued it until it removed all the poison from my blood and made a complete and permanent cure of the sore. JNO. ELLIS. 250 Navy Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. and driving out the poison-producing genus and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir-' culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S.
