Loryea Drug Store, [saac M. Loryea, Prop. A Test of Strength. Tradition has immortalized one Adar goma of Grand Canary, who could Irrestle for two consecutive hours and, taving been thrown undermost in a :ertain contest, got his antagonist be 'ween his legs and arms and squeezed lim so that his bones began to crack. The native Was subsequently sent as x prisoner to Spain, where he astound d the people by his performances. Dne day in Seville lie was visited by a rawny youth of La Mancha, who was mxious to try a bout with him. "My good friend," said Adargoma, "Ps we ire going to wrestle together it is only reasonable that we should begin by Irinking something." A large bowl of wine having been brought, he took this in one hand and ontinued to address his challenger: "If with both your arms you can overpow r one of mine so as to hinder me from Irinking every drop of this wine we wvill try our strength together; if not, Iou may return to your home." The truggle took place, and Adargoma by legrees drained the bowl in the coolest nanner without spilling a drop of the ;Vlne. His one hand was more than a natch for the other's two. Why People Stammer. Stammering depends on a want of iarmony between the action of the nuscles (chiefly abdominal)- which ex e1 air through the larynx and that of he muscles which guard the orifice )y which it escapes with that of those which modulate the sound to the form >f speech. Over either of the groups >f muscles by itself a stammerer may iave as much power as other people, )ut he cannot harmoniously arrange :heir conjoint action. Nervotaness is t frequent cause of stammering. It is >ossible that the defect in some in ;tances may result from malformation >f the parts about the back of the nouth. The fact that stammering >eople are able to sing their words )etter than to speak them has been 1sually explained on the supposition :hat in singing the glottis is kept open ;o that there is less liability to spas nodic action. A Bit of Good Advice In Time. An Antoinette Sterling story relates :o "The Lost Chord," which she made amous. The song did not appeal to ier when the manuscript was sent to ier by Sullivan. But Sir Joseph Barn >y spent an evening at her house at hat time, and in a casual way she re narked: "By the way, Arthur Sullivan ias sent me a manuscript of a new ;ong, which he has asked me to sing. rou might look at it. Personally, I on't think much of it and am going :o return it." Barnby tried it over here and then, and before he had gone if through it he stopped and said: 'Going to return It,' did you say? It s wonderful-an inspiration. Certain y, tell him you will sing it. It is ound to 'make' both you and him." Eme. Sterling always thanked the ates for bringing Barnby to her house' hat night -London Chronicle. The Wickedest Bit of Sea. Nine out of ten travelers would tell nquirers that the roughest piece of rater is that cruel stretch in the Eng ls channel, and nine out of ten tray lers would say what was not true. is a matter of fact "the wickedest >it of sea" is not in the Dover strait >r in yachting, for example, from St. rean de Luix up to Pauilac or across iie Mediterranean "race" from Cadlz : Tangier, nor is It in rounding Cape Eorn, where there is what sailors call t "true" sea.

As he mail steamer reaches a landing lace a man goes ashore with the let ers, which he places in an unlocked :ox on the pier.

B. eoAyewDrugBStore Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten Yearsof Suffering. "1 wi.-ir to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy." says Mrs. Mattie Burge. of M artinsville. Va. "Isuffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried various medicines without obtaining any per manent relief. Last summer one of my children was taken with cholera mor bus, and I procured a bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire relief. I then de cided to try this medicine myself, and did not use all of one bottle before I was well and I have never since been trouble'd with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful medicine." This remedy is for sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. Pedicuring an Elephant. The tools for trimming elephants' feet are a carpenter's drawknife and a rasp for the soles and a horseshoer's knife and sandpaper for the toe nails. The operator places a beer keg or a strong box behind one huge hind foot, lightly prods the thick ankle with his elephant hook and commands the beast to "Hold up!" Up comes the mighty foot, slowly and heavily, but obediently as the vel vety paw of a kitten. The foot is rest ed on the box or the keg, where it re mains while the expert works on it much as a horseshoer pares the hoof of a horse. Great slivers of the horny sole are sliced off until it is cut nearly to proper thickness, when the rasp is used to smooth off. Similarly the toe nails are treated with the knife and the sandpaper, while the big patient stands with swinging trunk and an occasional wag of an ear, too full of satisfaction for utterance. When the turn of the forefoot comes, the great beast is made to lie down on its side and the hoofs are propped up and treated.--McClure's. A Bird That Is Feared. The elster (Pica candata) is a bird that is respected and feared through out south Germany. It belongs to the raven tribe and is about the size of a dove, with black and white feathers and long, pointed tail. It builds its nest in orchards, and its life Is sacred. If 'it is seen three times in succession on the same house top in a place re mote from Its home it is believed to-be a sure sign of death In that house. If it flies and gives its peculiar cry the sick person is sure to die, but if it does not scream the patient may re cover. It is better for the sick per son if the bird does not come near. No one could be hired to bother these birds for fear they might seek revenge, and if by chance one of them should die it is a sign of bad luck to the owner of the property where it is found. The bird is a valuable insect destroyer and in this way probably more than compensates for the fear it occasions among the farmers. Animals Become Insane. Insanity in the human subject is sup posed by some to have no analogue In the lower animals. Yet many cases, according to Dr. Sneilson, will lead to the permanent loss of self control. Cattle driven from the country through a crowded town will often work themselves into a frenzy. Horses have gone mad on the battlefield. At Balaklava an Arabian horse turned on Its attendant, threw him down and, kneeling on him, attacked him like an infuriated dog. An instance is related1 of a docile horse suddenly going mad on a hot day. Everything that came In its way it seized in Its teeth and shook as a terrier does a rat A scien tist of authority even goes so far as to prove by what appears-to be incontest able evidence that cats, dogs and monkeys have been observed to have delusions very similar to those of in sane people.-London Globe. Dividing the Sexes. While worshiping in a little chapel of-ease a few miles from Rtuthin, on the Wrexham road, the sexes are so strictly divided that they cannot even see one another. The building forms a right angle, in one arm of which the men sit and the women in the other. It was built and endowed by a mi sogynist of. the Stuart period who ob jected to having his devotions distract ed by the sight of the hated sex and, sympathizing with male posterity, stipulated expressly for this division In his deed of endowment.-London Standard. * The Cuban Workman. The Cuban workman is a kind hus band and a fond father of a family usually of patriarchal size. He lives simply. At the bedega he buys his tasajo- (jerked beef), rice, vegetables and cheap wine, and very savory are the stews his meek little wife prepares at the one hearty meal of the day, about 5:30 p. m. The Cuban eats.but1 twice daily. He is underfed and over stimulated. He has coffee at 7 a. mn., a light breakfast at 11 a. m and eats his chief meal at twilight.-Southern Workman. Rapid Typewriting. An official stenographer, Deming, at Albany, years ago reported court pro ceedings on a typewriter at the rate of 150 and 170 words a minute. He elim inated the vowels, using consonants cnly, with a dot to separate words. His typewriter was incased in glass to deaden the noise. The paper was run Into the machine from a roll. Lawyers could read the notes. Happiness. "I am sometimes accused," writes Sir John Lubbock, "of being too op timistic. But I have never Ignored nor denied the troubles and sorrows of life. I have never said that men are happy, but only that they might be; that if they are not so the fault is generally their own; that most of us throw away ore happiness than we enjoy." Too Deserving. A young village maiden had ebta~ined the modesty prize. "I suppose then, my child," said a Parisian lady ad dressing her, "you are the most modest girl in the parish?" "There is not the slightest doubt about that, mna'am, and it's a down right shame I didn't get all the other przes!"-Paris Journal. A Hard Proposition. One of the hardest things for a man to do when he has come home late from the club and tried to go to bed without taking off his collar Is to ex plain to his wife he heard it was a good cure for sore throat-New York Press. The man that makes character makes foes.-Young. Wonderful Nerve is displayed by many a man enduring pains of accidental Cuts, Wounds, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Sore feet or sti joints. But there's no need for it. Bucklen's Arnica Salve will kill the pain and cure the trouble. It's the best Salve on earth for Piles, too. 25c, atn The? T. Torea Drug Store.
