He thinks he lives, but he's a dead one. No person is really alive whose liver is dead. During the winter most people spend nearly all their time 111 warm, stuffy houses or offices or workshops. Many don't get as much exercise as they ought, and everybody knows that people gain weight in winter. As a rule it is not sound weight, but means a lot of flabby fat and useless, rotting matter staying in the body when it ought to have been driven out. But the liver was over burdened, deadened?stopped work. There you arc, with a dead liver, and spring is the time for resurrection. Wake up the dead!

Contortionist Want* a Customer for III! ()or|i*e. Although by no cleans desiring to &hulllc off this mortal coll, Walter Wont worth wants to soil his body. Ho lias done it twice already in hit? life time, and now. although in his seven ty-fifth year, he is looking about for another purchaser, and if he finds one, lie thinks he has a good clianee of sur viving him. too. says the New Yqrk Herald. Walter is what is ordinarily^ called a "freak." II.; is a extortion ist, and tlie queer things he does With his legs and his arms, and even ?bU fepinal column, are enough (o make the eyes of the ordinary person bulge out to a dangerous extent. F.ven physi cians are puzzled at the curious way in whleh he handles himself, and it was a doctor who lir.st sugge.ied to Wentworth the idea of selliV* h?s body. It was Just sixty years afA that Wentworth ran away from his home near Detroit, Mich., to ride race horses. Then he joined a traveling circus and went the whole,>vorld over. With all his knocking about and the seventy five years he carries, lie is just as live ly and supple as a 15-year-old boy. It was while he was being exhibited In Detroit in 1870 that tie got a chance to sell himself. Dr. Cowo was greatly in terested in him. and offered $100 for ? his body after be had done with It, for dissecting purposes. Wentworth Jumped ?t the offer; tho money was paid down. The doctor, however, con veniently died within a few months. Wentworth came to .New York five ?jyearsgater, and was able on the trip to persuade I)r. H. L. Wilder of the Kings county hospital to take stock in Uim at the same, price, a case of getting in on the basement floor if Dr. Wilder should live. He thinks Dr. Wilder will be unable to fill his part ? of the contract. Ho Is therefore anx ious to find somebody else who wili invest in him. * It was observer! at I ho first per form j an?-e of Sonsa's band In IIitr Ainerk.ifi section of the Pnrls Exposition that the enthusiasm of the great nudl?nc?^ of American* that gntbu^d tn hPRT-lf did not break all hountfl&^intll the ?
