P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
r. Asa Airmons, a well-known
:cen of Jacksonville. Florida. was
L cted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
seemed unavailing in stopping the
ges of the terrible disease. The
was swollen and intensely painful,
the ulcer had eaten its way down
‘ o the very bone. All medicines and
.reatments having failed to effect a.
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman’s Great Remedy,"and the re-
sult was wonderful. “ ' '
P. P. P. SAVES H-B LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla.,-':Jul-Zy 1.1 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged 3
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis C°f the bone, and
my leg would have to ‘come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
,soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a. sound and useful leg.
“I think 1’. P. 1)., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi-
soning in a remarkably short time.

TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores—two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one of
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P..
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day—can and

if you only give it a chance.

Snake Swallowed a Lion Cub.
McKinley, a cub 1i .n, was dozing
beside the stove in the winter quarters
of Lemen Bros.’ circus in Argentine
one morning not long ago, and not far
from the little sleeping fellow stood,
several large boxes of snakes.
There was not a hum-an being in the
room. It was as still as death.
Suddenly the head of a large South
American boa constrictor appeared
above one of the boxes. It rose slow-
ly up into the air until about two feet
of its body was in sigh.t.- Then its
head dropped over the side of the box
and it began moving across the floor.
The snake moved up to within a. few
feet of the lion cub, when it paused.
The eub’s tail was closest to the snake.
It glided closer yet, and then drew the
tail into its month. As the tail disap-
peared a wide spreading of its jaws
took in the entire hindquarters of the
cub. McKinley awoke, and began to
cry in a plaintive voice. Swiftly its
body disappeared, and louder grew its
cries. The mother of the only lion cub
born in captivity in the United States
heard the walls of her offspring, and,
looking between the bars of her cage,
comprehended the situation at a
glance. She sprang to the bars and
let out a roar that brought every ani-
mal in every cage to its feet, and pan-
demonium broke loose. The mother of
McKinley roared incessantly, while
the lions joined in the chorus, and
even the sea lions bellowed. and soon
the elephants began to trumpet. The
turmoil'of the animals reached the cir~
cus attaches in another building, and
they ran quickly to the scene. One of
them ran to the elephants, which were
tugging at their chains and trumpet-
ing, and with an iron prod quieted
them. Others tried to extricate Mc-
Kinley. One man caught McKinley by
the paws, and the other men held the
snake, and they' all pulled together.
McKinley stayed where he was. Mat-
ters were approaching a. crisis. It
was either the life of the snake or the
cub. A quick consultation was held.
and it was decided to sacrifice the
South American native. Knives were
procured. and the snake was cut in
two. The snake was handicapped by
its meal. It did not she long to sever
the body, though, and then they tried
to pull the cub through, but it stuck,
rInd stuck tight. It was necessary to
split the snake’s jaws and pry them
apart before the cub could be released.
Then McKinley was taken out. He
was nearer dead than alive.
His Opportunity.
A story which is not new is well told
by George Cary Eggieston. A large
company had been invited to a ban-
quet at the mansion of Signor Faliero,
in France, and just before the hour,
the confectioner. who had been mak-
ing a large ornament for the table,
sent word that he had spoiled the
piece.
“If you will let me try, I think I can
make something that will do," said a
boy, who had been employed as a scul-
lion.
“You!" exclaimed the head servant
in astonishment. “And who are you ?"
“I am Antonio Canova, the grandson
of Pisano, the stonecutter," replied the
pale-faced little fellow.
' "And pray what can you do?" asked
the major demo.
“I can make you something that will
do for the middle of the table, if you’ll
let me try."
The servant was at his wits‘ end. so
he told Antonio to go ahead and see
Galling for some
butter, the scullion quickly moulded a
large, crouching lion.
Dinner was announced, and many of
the most noted merchants” princes and
nobleman of Venice were ushered into
the dining-room. Among them, were
skilled critics of art work. When their
eyes fell upon the butter lion, they rec-
ognized it as a work of genius. ‘They
examined it long and carefully, and
asked Signor Faliero what great sculp-
tor had been persuaded to waste his
skill upon a work in such temporary
material.
When the distinguished guests
learned that the lion had been made
in a short time by a scullion, the din-
ner was turned into a feast in his
honor. The rich host declared that he
would pay the boy's expenses under
the best masters, and he kept his word,
but Antonio was not spoiled by bill
good fortune. He remained at heart
the same simple, earnest. faithful boy
who had- tried so hard to become a
good stonecutter in the shop of Plano.
Some may opt bpve heard how the
boy Antonio flick advantage or this
first great opportunity, but all lmow
of Geneva. one of the greatest sculp-
hrs of all time. '

Story of a Dramatic Critic, Some Passes,

The theatrical a rant who goes out;
ahead of a show :11 ays has many fun-
ny experiences. a d especially with
the seeker after free passes in the
rural cities. Ramsa y Morris, who, is
advance man for May Irwin’s com-

trip to Pittsburg. He lingered over to
see the show open Monday night, and
while standing in the box-office of the
theatre in the afternoon he heard the
ticket-seller having an argument over
the telephone with some one. Finally
the ticket-seller hung up the receiver
with an oath. Mr. Morris inquired
what was the mater. The ticket-sel-
ler said: “
“’l‘li-at is from M , the dramatic
critic; he never fails to work every ad-
vance man for four passes to the
Show.”
“Guilty,” said Mr. Morris. “1 gave
him four, but what's the trouble?”
“Well,” said the ticket-seller, “that
fellow pays his board with those
passes and buys groceries and does
other things. He has just called up
here to tell me to take up two passes
to—night and refuse admittance to the
holder. He says that he gave them to
his grocer for two dozen eggs, and that
the eggs were bad, and he wants to get

TH E SPRINKLE DOLLAR.
A Counterfeit which was Worth
Than the Sound Dollar.
The sehding of Dan'Wyatt McLease
to the penitentiary by. the United
States district court for counterfeiting
has started the tongue of reminisence
to relating particulars of the most no
ted counterfeiting case known to the
penal annals of northwestern Ken-
tucky, namely, that of Jacob and Nan.
cy Sprinkle, who were indicted jointly
at the October term of the Lewis dis.
trict court in 1840. This case attract-
ed sensational interest at the time. as
there were thousands of the “Sprinkle
dollars” in circulation. which, though
known to be counterfeit, nevertheless
were received without question or pro-
test in facilitating exchanges through
a bread territory .
The “Sprinkle dollar" occupies a
unique position in the history of coun-
terfeiting, as it was, perhaps, the only
illegal dollar ever minted that was
"too good.” The "Sprinkle dollar"
had a larger proportion of silver in it
in relation to its alloy than the dollar
that came through Uncle Sam‘s fin-
gers. The well known fact that the
“Sprinkle dollar" had a higher bullion
value than the genuine dollar pos~
sessed helped to retain it unques-
tioned in the circulation of this and
adjoining counties. This fact was al-
so potent in screening Jacob Sprinkle
from the legal consequences of his
act. Hundreds openly sympathized
with ‘him. and the most exacting for
a long while winked at his trans-
gressions. . .
Many people believed that as long as
the Sprinkle dollar contained the same
or a greater pro-portion of silver than
did the coin from the government
mint they were doing no wrongful act,
either in law or morals. They be
lieved that counterfeiting consisted in
deceiving and cheating with a base
metal resembling silver. Jacob
Sprinkle believed this himself for a
long while, and was disillusioned only
after a grand jury had indicted him.
So numerous did these dollars become
finally that men, when receiving
money from another, would always
examine it to see how much of it con-
sisted of “Sprinkle dollars." If it all
should consist of Sprinkle money it
would call forth some jocular remark
as the receiver pocketed the jingling
coin.—-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. 1
THE JAPANESE DO NOT USE OPIUM.
Since Owning Formosa They have been
Troubled Regarding the Question.
The Japanese, unlike their Chinese
neighbors, have a horror of opium
smoking. In Japan it is a crime, pun-
ishable by a heavy fine and a long im-
prisonment. It is a crime to sell opium
or smoking apparatushand the only
places where the drug can be pur-
chased, o-r where a person may smoke,
are on the foreign reservations under
the protection of a foreign flag. The
apron: dens in Yokohama; Kobe, Nag-
asaki and other cities are all found in
the German, French and English con-
cessions, where the Japanese have no
jurisdiction. When the Japanese
took possession of Formosa, which
was ceded by China to Japan as a
part of the price of peace, they found
a. serious problem in the prevalence of
opium-smoking among the natives
and Chinese residents. who are nu-
merous.
After the 'trial of various methods,
the Government has adopted a rather
novel policy to repress and regulate
It requires every opium
smoker to purchase a license from the
Governmentby the payment of a fee.
and permits indulgence in the vice
within certain limits of the city, which
will result in the colonization of
inum-smokers. Physicians and drug-
gists alone are permitted to buy and
sell the drug, and they are required to
take out licenses and pay heavy fees
for the privilege. Any violation of
[his law is punished by imprisonment
with hard labor for a term not exceed-
lng fifteen years or a line not exceed-
ing 5,000 yen. In the districts set
apart for indulgence in the vice,
inum-smokiug houses may be opened
for the accommodation of strangers or
persons who do not care to smoke on
their own premises. These houses are
nibject to strict regulations, and every
time they harbor a customer who does
not have a permit to smoke opium, the
proprietor is liable to a fine of 3,000
yen and imprisonment for eleven
years—Chicago Record.

I came home in pretty bad shape, and
