Professor Munvon says:—-“I‘he idea
that one must take "Spring qudicines’
is ii. great mistake. It is true that at
this season of the year many changes
take plice in the human body that ei-
fect the blood, liver, kidneys and
nerves, but in healthy people these
changes occur without the help of med-
icines. In fact, it is a sin against Da-
. lure to take drugs of any kind into the
body unless one is lit. The so-called
Spring Medicines for the blood are also
bad because they pretend to cure all
diseases With ong’combination of medi-
cines. _If your Siemach is out of- orde;
it is absurd to take rheumatism medi-

CLOSE CALL FOR JACK TAR.
Just as a Shark Was About to Grab Him :
Swordfish Got the Shark.
I was mute on the Lovely Lou oi
Bangor, and we had been on our way
to South America for about four
weeks. The wind had left the ship
during the last day of this period, and
we were dipping our peak to a lolling
swell that seem-ed to come from no
where and return to the same place
without making a ripple on the blue
surface of the ocean.
Suddenly there came a splash, and
tlle__cook ran to where I was standing
on the .poop deck, crying that one Oi
the sailors had tumbled- overboard.
Tlie Lou had no way, and I laughed at
the idea of him drowning, telling the
cook to throw him a rope, walking to
the rail as I did so. The sailor was
swimming about the quarter enjoying
his bath when I suddenly saw an omi-
nous black fin make its appearance a
hundred yards or so from the ship. I
yelled for the rope, and as I yelled I
saw the fin move toward the sailor,
cutting the water like a knife. I knew
that unless the man was taken out
quickly he would be devoured, and
rushed to the cabin grating to get a
line. 'Seizing a piece of rope I hasten-
ed to the rail just in time to see the
form of an immense shark turn on its
side to seize the sailor. As it did so
there was an instant-‘5 glimpse of a
long brown body, and then the water
was lashed into a sea of yeasty foam,
the shark seemingly being in trouble.
I threw the line, and in a moment the
sailor was aboard, scared out of his
wits, blit safe and sound. The thresh-
ing in the water Still continuing, we
we were able to see that the‘shilrk had
been pinned ‘by a large swordfish, the
sword running through the jaws of
the Shark in such a manner as to pre-
vent the fish from opening them.
\Vliether the shark’s antagonist had
deliberately attacked the shark we
know not, but its timely and unex-
pected appearance saved the sailor‘s
life beyond a doubt, as another in-
stant would have sent the teeth of the
shark into the body of the mart—New

Mr. Gladstone is King.
In a recently published book Regi-
nald Brett, of England. says that
Queen Victoria once impatiently re-
marked: “I am no longer Queen. Mr.
Gladstone is King.” The grand old
man always had an air of aloofness
about him, even when he was in the
presence of royalty. Beaconsfleld. on
the other hand, was always welcome
at Windsor. The Queen didn‘t like him
at first, it. is true. but he gradually Won
her over. How? Mr. Brett puts it
pltll'ily and wittily. "In trifles Disraeli
never forgot the sex of the sovereign.
In great affairs he never appeared to
remember it."

MERKLE’S PETRIFIED FOOT. .
A Strange Case, but .Vouched for as a
'l‘ruthful Tale.
A hunting party from this place, but
recently returned from an expedition
northwest of here, tell of the marveo
lous discovery up in the mountain re-
gions of what seems to be one of the
greatest living wonders. The find is
nothing more or less than a man, liv-
ing and apparently in good health, yet
having one foot completely petrified.
The tale is a pretty stiff one, and
would not be credited were it not
vouched for by gentlemen of well-
known veracity and honor, who furth-
ermore have and are ready to exhibit
the little toe from the petrified foot,
which was broken off shortly before
their visit, and which the owner was
kind enough to give them as a souve—
nir.
The man with the petrified foot is an
ex-cowboy, Bill Merkle by name, who
has lived in the mountains nearly twen-
ty-five years. Up to twenty years ago
Merkle lived the most active of out-
door lives, bu-t about that time, in try-
ing to get out of the way of a slam-
pedlng drove, he was thrown from his
horse right in the track of the cattle,
the herd Sweeping on i'esistlessly over
his prostrate body. When picked up by
his companions a few momentsilu'ter
not a bruise was discovered anywhere
upon his body, but both bones of the
left leg appeared to be broken just be-
low the knee. No physician was called
in. Merkle’s friends merely using the
Simple means in their power to set,
splint and bandage the broken limb.
According to Merkle’s account, in an
incredibly short time the bones seemed
to be knitting together, but pretty soon
it became evident that the texture and
color of the-flesh below the fracture
were undergoing a. change. In the
course of a. month it was deemed ail-
visable to remove the bandage, when
it was discovered that while the frac-
ture had indeed reunited the leg below
had already begun to Show unmistak-
able evidence of hardening. Since then
slowly the process has continued till
now the entire limb below the. break
is a. complete pctrification—Correspon-
dent Philadelphia Times.
No Wonder He Liked the Sermon.
The chapel of a northern fishing vll-
lage used to dept-lid for its services on
the occasional help of the clergy of the
nearest town. One very wet Sunday
the clergyman who volunteered to do
the duty drove over in a fly.
Telling the chapel bell himself, he
announced his arrival to the natives,
but for a long time no one appeared.
{at last one solitary person came in
airs? 100k a seat at the very back of the
clie‘iiel. The clergyman then found
his. surplice, and conducted the service.
Th,.t ended, he remarked to his undi-
ence of one that perhaps a sermon was
superfluous. '
“Oh! please go on, Sir,’f was the flat-
reply, and the clergyman
mounted the pulpit.
In the, course of his address be ex-
pressed the fear that he was weary-
lng his bearer, and was gratified to
be told that he could not be too long.
The sermon consequently was length-
ened out to some forty minutes.
When it was ended, the preacher ex-
pressed a desire to shake hands with
a gentleman who had listened to him
with such evident appreciation. Imag-
ine his consternation at discovering
on a nearer view (for lie was some-
what short—sighted), that he had been '
preaching to the driver of his fly, who
was all the while charging overtime!—

III-s. Clevcland and the \Vlieelnien.
A young man on a. bike was confi-
dently riding up F. street when a.
heavy carriage drawn by two prancing
bays came spinning up the street at
the same time. The young man was
fairly run into the gutter by the turn-
out, and-to save himself from being
crushed he jumped off his wheel. The
boys were drawn up to the curb in
great style and the lady occupant of
the carriage stepped out to go into a
store. She instantly took in the catas-
trophe. The wheel was almost a. wreck
and the rider was looking around for
his hat. She stepped right up to him
and inquired if he was hurt. Being as-
sured thait he was not, she took‘out a"
card and wrote a few lines on it and
gave it to him, saying:
“Have your wheel repaired and send
the bill to Mr. Thurber with this card.
I am very glad you were nothurt.”
The signature on the card was “Fran.
ces Folsom Cleveland.”—Washin.gton
