Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by.
Their Fellow-Man.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
GENTLEMEN :"I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com-
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an-
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a. gen-
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap-
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

Erysipelas and Scrofula cured by I’.
P. P., Lippman’s Great. Remedy, surely
and without fail.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
GENTLEMEN.’ Last June I had. a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex-
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp-
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree-
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom-
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.

READY-TO-WEAR CLOTHING.
A Young In‘dustry which has Rapidly In-
creased—Fair Profits for Merchants.
The popularity and sale of ready-
made, or “ready-towear,” clothing, as
the merchants now prefer to cal it,
has greatly increased in the last eight
or ten years, according to good author-
ities. The cause is not hard to find.
It is due to the greater care exercised
in the making up and the style of the
goods. More pains are taken to make
up the clothing in good style, and in
such varieties of shapes and sizes, that
it is rarely that a man cannot be fit-
ted. and where alteration is necessary
it is no more than a custom-made suit
usually needs. A man may decide
some morning that his cutaway is a
little shabby, and, as he may be go-
ing out that evening, he requires
something better. It is only necessary
to visit one of the clothing houses in
New York city to find just what he
wants, at almost any price, try it on,
and have it sent home during the day;
any necessary alteration is made in
the course of a'few hours, and he can
comfortably pass the evening, confi-
dent that his appearance is all that can
be desired.
The cost and profits of the business
make interesting reading. The fancy
suit, everything except plain black,
which retails for $15, is sold at whole-
sale for about $11. In small towns
and out-of-the—way places, the retailer
puts the price at whatever he thinks
he can get, but in the larger places the
profits are practically the same in the
reliable stores. In addition there is a
discount of from 7 to 8 per cent. al-
lowed by the wholesale dealer, which
the retailer seldom fails to take ad-
vantage of.
The manufacturer’s profit is, as a
rule, about 15 per cent. It requires
three and a fourth yards of cloth for a
suit, which, at $1.50 per yard, makes
the cost of the cloth 354.87%. The cut-
ters are paid on an average $20 a
week, and it is estimated that the cut-
ting of a sack suit costs the menu
fucturer 35 cents. For making up the
suit they pay $1 for the coat and 50
cents each for trousers and vest—$2
for the suit. The linings, buttons, can-
vas, padding, silk, Stay-tape, &c., cost
about $1.50 more. These items can-
not be figured emctly, as they vary
with different suits, being much cheap-
er for black clothes. The manufac-
turers purchase black buttons, lin-
ings, &c., in large quantities, and get
them proportionately cheaper, where-
as, for brown, gray, or other fancy
suits, the buttons and trimmings must
match the cloth, and the great variety
of shades necessarily limits the quan-
tity purchased. This makes the suit
that the manufacturer sells for $11
cost him about $8.72%, and leaves
him a profit of $2.271/2, not including
the discounts allowed to the retail mer-
chant.
POSITION OF FRENCH WiVES.
It is Diguified and that of a Comrade and
Loyal Helpmate.
French women have a loyal cham-
pion in Mrs. Crawford, the brilliant
and well—known journalist, who, hav-
ing lived amongst them for a period
extending over thirty years, should
know something about their charac-
teristics. To quote her own words in
speaking of French women: “They oc-
cupy a Very dignified position, and the
wife is more the comrade of her hus:
hand than in England. In the higher
circles she makes his social position
by her grace and tact, and if she has
special culture and aptitude she forms
a salon, and becomes a great power.
In business the wife is frequently the
dominant partner; she studies the mar-
kets, secures customers and invests
the money.” Mrs. Crawford very
poignantly remarks that “although the
influence of women upon politics is
more indirect than it is in England,
since they do not come on to the po-
litical platform, yet, as the first Na-
poleon discovered, they direct men
how to act.
Sight Said to be Restored by Prayer.
The story comes from Anderson. Ind:
The Rev. Charles Morton. the evan-
gelistgwho has been totally blind as
the result of a fall, was divinely
healed. Dr. G. N. Eldridge, pastor
of the M. E. Church, and wife, and
Mr. Morton spent one entire day in
fasting and prayer. Late in the even~
ing they were joined by Mmes. An-
drew and Finnegan and T. N. Still-
well, and all united in prayer. After
reading the following passages in. the
Bible, James v., 14th, 15th, and 16th
verses; I John v. 14th and 15th ver.
ses; Mark Xi., 24, Dr. Eldridge an-
nointed Mr. Morton with oil, and then,
with silent prayer, the healing was
claimed and the miracle wrought. Mr.
Morton appeared in the M. E. Church
that night and told the story of. his
healing. The event created intense
emotion, and crowds lingered in the
church until a late hour.
She Mistook film.
It is not every great man who car-
ries his honors as meekly as the May-
or of Inverness, who rebuked an ad“
miring crowd in the words: “Fr‘ens,
I’m just a mortal man like yersels.”
Sir Wilfred Lawson tells the following
story: “A woman was once pursuing
her fugat-ive cow down a lane, when
she called out to some one in front:
‘Mnan, turn my cow.’ The man took
no notice and allowed the cow to pass.
When she came up she said: ‘Man,
why did you not turn my cow?’ He
replied: ‘Woman, I am not a man;
I am a magistrate.’ ”—-Househ-ohl

a young lady—a very nice young lady
——and she’s worth her weight in gold."
Bob—“Stout girl, I hope.”

THE HOMING PIGEONS.
their Aid to Rothschild before Electricty
was Used in Telegraphy.
Carrier pigeons must not be con
fused with homing pigeons, notes a
writer in The Badminton Magazine.
The former is a fancy pigeon, especial-
ly prized for its eye and wattle-s, but
quite useless as a messenger. Both
are cousins of the dragon. but the fan-
cier, in the case of the carrier, has
bred purely for points, color, shape.
etc., while the homing pigeon fancier
cares nothing for these things. \Vith
him it has been “handsome as a hand-
some does,” and stamina with intelli-
gence has been his aim. An article in
Bell’s Life, of Jan. 1, 1870, speaks of
the “commercial aspect” of the hom-
ing pigeon, and from it I extract the
following: “Baron Rothschild, before
electricity was brought into operation,
had an immense quantity of pigeons
for express work. These birds brought
the news of the state of the money
markets in Paris, and frequently the
baron cleared in England, almost im-
mediately after the news arrived,
many thousand pounds by buying or
selling stock. These birds did not
come direct from the ContiLent, for
there were relays throughout the. dis-
tance, and the birds that were housed
at Dover brought the news from Cal-
ais, when it was dispatched by anoth-
er pigeon, whose home was at Sitting-
bourne, so on from there to Black-
heath, and thence by another bird to
the metropolis.”
It has been generally stated. and so
far without contradiction, that it was
by means of their pigeon express the
Rothschilds learned the result of the
Battle of Waterloo several hours be-
fore the Government of the day, and,
profiting by this means, were enabled
to make their first great coup on the
Stock Exchange—New York Times.
MARK TWAIN’S GIFT TO HIS WIFE.
[ntended His Last Work as a Remem-
brance of their \Vedding Anniversary.
It must have been because the au-
thor of “The Personal Recollections of
Joan of Arc" was on his travels in the
uttei'iziost parts of the earth when the
narrative was published in book form
that one of his intentions about it was
not at that timeecarried out. It was
his purpose, when he began work on
the story in Florence, in 1893, that it
should be a silver-wedding present to
his wife. He says that she never knew
of his design, and when the book was
published there was nothing in it to
apprise her of it. “Let us rectify,"
writes Mr. Clemens from London, un-
der date of April 9; and, agreeably to
his wish, a leaf will be inserted in fu
ture issues of the Recollections of
Joan, hearing this inscription:

A COLORED MAN’S SUCCESS.
no Has Proved Himself 3 Capable and
Thrifty Farmer. -
Barton F. Powell, of Albany, Ga, a
negro thirty-two years old, is one of
the most successful farmers in the
state. Twelve years ago he had saved
up $2,000, with which he bought 500
acres of land. He went to work on it
andeleared $2,500 the first year. He
has continued to add to his landed
possessions, paying spot cash for every
farm purchased, and is now the owner
of 2,100acres of land, from which he
markets 400 bales of cotton annually.
Besides his success on the farm he has
developed the country supply-store
idea, and thus rakes in thousands of
dollars a year. He also owns a com-
fortable residence in Bainbridge. His
profits last year were over $7,000. He
says. that the question of social recog-
nition doesn't trouble him so long as
he can get financial recognition at the
bank—New York Tribune.
Knives “‘tth Numerous Blades.
The most exquiste and valuable s n.
cimens of this article of cutlery are
i‘ in the possession of the principal cut-
lers at Sheffield. .
Scraps, in describing these knives,
says that there is one, not larger than
a thumbnail, having twenty blades.
Another, only an inch long when
closed, with seventy blades, all made
in a beautiful manner, illustrates near-
ly all the shapes ever given to knife-
blades. . ,
One specimen has two hundred and
twenty blades, all of which are ex-
quisitely etched on the steel with por-
traits, landscapes, and other subjects;
while another has one thousand eight
hundred and forty blades, all provided
with hinges and springs, and all clos-
ing into one handle—Harper’s Round
Table.
A BICYCLE UNDER WATER.

She Raised the Boys.
Nine men sat in an unbroken row on
one side of an Alley “L” car the other
morning. Near the door sat one lone.
woman. Five women were standing,
swinging on to straps, as the train
pulled out of Congress street terminus.
At 12th street two more women
came in, standing before a row of men
who couldn‘t see over their newspa-
pers.
There was a mischievous twinkle in
the eyes of the solitary young woman
sitting near the door.
At 18th street the train slowed up
with a squeaking and grinding of
wheels. The gates rattled, and, with’a
swing a young man in a fawn-colored
coat, with a bunch of carnations in
his buttonhole, stepped into the car.
He was just reaching for a strap, when
the young woman at the door touched
him on the arm.
He looked around inquiringly.
The young woman was standing,
with a perfectly serious look in her
face.
“Won’t you have this seat?” she
asked in a. beautifully modulated voice.
With his mouth open, the young man
in his astonishment sat down.
But it was only for a moment. In
the roar of laughter which followed
every woman in the group found a
seat—Chicago Record.
