He is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem-
edy, For it. v
‘Mr. George Briggs, of Moore. Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of‘his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For. several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter: “Truth is stranger
than Fiction.”
NEURALGIA, CATABRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
cians in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. P. P. will not make .
a total cure of.
Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med-
icine, P. P. P,, Lippman‘s Great Rem-
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected. bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis-
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy.
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.

,A BOY HERO.
His Legs Wooden Ones, but He Traveled
Far and Fast to Save Lives.
Not far from the Virginia line lives
a two-thirds youth, for, unfortunately,
both of his lower limbs are artificial,
who has .to his credit an act of henc—
ism which should make him a loved
lad as long as the memory of those
who know him lasts. It is little crippled
Tim 01in, whose home is away up in
the mountains, thirty-five miles from
everywhere, as a book agent once said
of that part of the country.
This bit of a boy about three weeks'
ago heard that forest fires were sweep-
ing everything that would burn before
them along the Virginia side of the
mountains. One afternoon he climbed
through the snow to the top of the
mountain, one of the steepest of the
Cumberland, and took a view of the
fire-swept country below him. He
was surprised to find the fire so fierce,
and as he watched Tim saw that the
red tongues were creeping ontowarcl
a little log cabin in which lived two
old and helpless women, the Ober sis-
ters, and their blind and crippled broth-
er, who is One of the oldest men over
on the other side. The lad realized
that the house was a long ways from
any other farm house, and knew that
the people in the humble cot would
find themselves powerless if they were
left in the cabin until the fire got to
their home.
Without thinking of how much suf-
fering it meant to his poor aching
limbs, Tim started down the rugged
hillside on his perilous journey of hero-
ism. He had a race with the fire and
twice fell from exhaustion and almost
despaired of saving the old folks. But
his indomitable courage never flagged,
and he kept going. He reached the
old homestead just as the prairie fire
was attacking the old frame crib. He
hurried into the house and informed
the the old and thoroughly frightened
people of their danger. It only took
him a few minutes to hitch, the horse
to the sled, and the old man was helped
on to this. The four drOve on to shel-
ter at the nearest neighbor’s, leaving
the fire to do its worst. The home of
old people was partly burned during
the night, but the boy had gotten some
of the neighbors to go and fight the
fire, and they were able to save most
of the contents of the house. '
The modest-looking lad has never re-
covered from the injuries‘he sustained
in making the awful trip. but he is
very proud of the deed. The old
people will never cease to love and
contribute to the boy’s support out of
their limited means—From Sandy Sig-
nal.
Capt. Hem-(1’s Exploit \Vith a. i’riv ’ll't'iii‘.
The speed of the Baltimore clippers
in days gone by made history redound
with their exploits. Every boy and
girl has read at some time or place of
the piratical long, low rukish-looking
schooners that cruised the ocean osten-
sibly as pirates, in those days, and
have marvelled more or less at their as-
founding adventures. A good story is
told of the late Captain Augustine
Heard, that while in command of a
fine ship richly laden. bound from
China to New York, he was overhauled
by one of this kind, which came up
. under his lee, fired a shot into his ship,
and demanded in “good English” that
she should be hove to. Captain Heard
watched a favorable opportunity.
squared his yards, ran the privateer
down, passed over her "between the
masts, and when well to leeward
brought his ship to the wind and re-
sumed his course. She had lost some
of her head-gear, but sustained no
damage in her hull. Captain Heard
left the “long, low, black privateer,” or
pirate, to her fate, and had no doubt
that all her crew perished. ,
It was a dangerous thing to do, but
Heard relied upon the good timber in
his ship’s bows to withstand the shock,
although his heart grew sad at the loss
of life. Still, as he put it, “My honor
and life were at stake, so he had to go
under.”—Harper’s Round Table.
The Owl’s Eye.
The owl has no motion in the eye.
the globe of which is immovably fixed
in its socket by a strong, elastic, hard,
cartilaginous case; but,_in order to
compensate for the absence of motion
in the eye, the owl is able to turn its
head round in almost a complete circle
without moving its body.
Monkey Castigator.
First Monkey—You remember that
boy who was ”reusing me, yesterday? I
caught him by the wrist and pretty
nearly twisted his arm off.
Second Monkey—Yes; I heard him
telling another boy he got hurt by a
monkey-wronch.—— Harper’s Round Ta-
ble. . '
" Another Scheme for Women.
Do you know the latest scheme of a
bright ‘woman for earning a livinvg‘.
asks a correspondent of Boston Home
Journal. She is keeping a boarding
house where she caters only to people
who ,are “dieting.” Some want tc
grow thin, others are trying to cure
dyspepsia, still others are feeding then
nerves. All found it impossible to ward
off hunger at ordinary places of pub
lic eating without taking things con.
trary to the doctor’s orders. My friend
sets a table with whole-wheat bread,
all kinds of mush, fruits stewed with
very little sugar, rare meats for those
allowed meat, cereal coffee and “fresh
boiled” hot water for those taking the
water cure. The plain food is cooked
deliciously, and the dieting is thus
made a pleasant affair for those under-
going it. Special dishes are cooked
whenasked for; the best beef tea is
always on tap, and graham crackers of
every known variety abound. Those
who have fasted on water biscuit and
soggy brown bread at other boarding
houses, feeling obliged to pass even
the boiled mutton'because it was im-
possible to divorce it from the caper
sauce, fully appreciate this table.
The Queen of Roumania.
Elizabeth, Queen of R-oumania, who
was a Princess of Pied. one of the
small Rhine provinces, is far better
shown to Americans as Carmen Sylva.
The Author-Queen Elizabeth was not
only a princessof small means, but 0:
modest ambitions before chance raised
her to the throne of Roumania in 1869.
She was a most studious girl and
wished to become a, simple German
schoolmistress, when an offer came for
her hand and she accepted a throne,
taking up literature as her life’s work.
Her only child, a daughter, died a few
daysafter its birth, and no other chil-
dren coming to take the little one’s
place, the sorely bereaved mother
turned to her pen and to music. She
was a pupil of the great Clara Schu-
mann, an author of recognized ability
and surely a beloved wife, for when
the Roumanians suggested their king
should procure, like Napoleon, a di-
vorce and another wife, in hopes of
an heir, Queen Elizabeth's husband re-
jected the proposition with scorn and
indignation.
Fishes that Spin Silk.
A queer little shell-fish, known as
the “pinna,” lives in. the Mediterra-
nean, and has the curious power of
spinning a viscid silk, which is made
inSicily into a regular and very hand-
some fabric. This sllk is spun by the
shell-fish, in the first place, for the pur-
pose of attaching itself to the rocks.
It is able to guide the delicate fila-
ments to the proper place, and there
glue them fast, and if they are cut
away it can reproduce them. The ma-
terial, when gathered—which is done
at low tide—is washed in soap and wa-
ter, dried, straightened, and carded,
one pound of the coarse filament yield-
ing about three ounces of fine thread,
which when spun is of a lovely bur-
nished, golden-brown color.
Mud Face Baths.
The latest fad of fashionable ladies
in search of beautiful complexions is
mud—plain, dirty, sticky mud. The
idea is by no means new, but it is the
first time that society has accepted it
as a skin beautifier.
Swamp mud, or the mud from the
bed of a stream, is the best. The skin
should be thoroughly cleansed and
dried until it feels warm and the per-
spiration has started. Then apply the
mud thickly, taking care to keep it
from the eyes.
It is especially necessary that care be
taken to cover all portions of the skin
ulike,.as the smallest patch of uncov-
ered skin is likely to stand out with
disagreeable plainness the next morn-
mg.
The feeling of the mud on the face is
not as unpleasant as one might at first
suppose, and its beneficial results are
very great ’tis said—New York \led.
Fancy Work.
The fancy work of the day is in two
distinct varieties, with the line sharply
drawn between the truly artistic and
the reverse, which is anything not ex-
pensive, requiring no especial skill, and
simply a means of passing away the
time without much thought of the re-
sult. Something called “giant work”
is a large cross stitch worked in various
patterns in soft art colors on a basket
canvas. “Serge work” is another fancy,
which is simply a long loop of silk or
wool caught down by another stitch.
Ecru net is employed in various ways ‘
as a foundation for linen bra-id trac-
ing designs filled in with darning, and
for linen applique figures finished on
the edge‘with fancy stitches. Silk'and
linen thread are worked in together
with good effect—New York Sun.
Excessive Perspiration.
A free state of pchpiration is abso-
lutely essential to health, but, on the
other hand, excessive perspiration is
not only very weakening, but often the
sign of impaired vitality, as well. For
sufferers from this complaint, it is said
that a pound of oak bark, steeped for
half an ‘hour in two quarts of boiling
water, is a remedy. The mixture
should be strained and bottled. At
night and morning it should be used
to bathe with, putting two-thirds of a
:11pr in a basin of warm water, and
adding three teaspoonfuls of powdered
starch and two of borax. »

EFFECT OF A POEM.
F'ROM lT A COWBOY WAS IMPELLED
TO MOUNT FORTUNE’S LADDER.
Left His Old Li'l‘e and in Time Became a'
Prosperous Man and Secretary of One
of the Largest Manufacturing ‘Con-
cerns in the South.
J ack Mason was born and brought
up on a Texas ranch. He had no moth-
er and not very much of a father, so
he just roved over the great prairies,
k-n..-.-l-:vd about with men’ and cattle,
and "gr-owed.” To such as he there
was only one vocation open—that of a.
zowboy. '
By hook or by crook, Jack managed
to get a sort of smattering of the three
R’s, and. was especially attracted to
the pleasing art of reading. He had,
however, very little opportunity for
indulging his tastes in this direction,
is the very best book he had ever seen
was an old almanac.
When about sixteen Jack started out
one day with a comrade or two to
round up a herd of cattle. An unwrit-
ten code which obtains all over these
unmense tracts of land is that when
rounding up cowboys are at perfect
liberty to enter any house en route and
help themselves to anything in the
way of food that they find, the only
acknowledgement required from them
being that they shall pour water over
the fire before going away. This, of
Bourse, is to prevent any possibility of
ire after their departure, and the real
3owboy is as strenuous about this
point of etiquette as the society man is
ibout his party call. 4 -
One stormy evening, after a tramp of
nany a weary mile. Jack and his com-
'ade came to one of these rude, de-
serted houses, and thankfully availed
:hemselvesof its sheltering roof. It
was but the work of a moment to pos-
sess themselves of .a light and fire, and
inding both pork and potatoes in the
mouse, they eked' out a. very comfort
ible meal with what they carried in
their pouches. '
An atmosphere of well-bred content
and "cheer dominated the little room,
when suddenly Jack started up, at-
:racted by something which he thought
as cspied on a shelf in the corner. No!
He was not mistaken. It was a book,
1 copy of Meredith’s “Lucile.” Now
lack had never read a line of poetry in
his life; but he sat down close to the
sputtering candle and 'opened the new-
‘ound treasure with joyous expectancy.
At 4' o’clock the next morning, Jack
Mason clOsed the volume, and with it
1. chapter of his life, for a fixed resoi
iution had taken possession of him,
body and soul. The poem had por-
:rayed a life so different from his own
that he made up his mind that there
nust be something better even for him
ihan being a cowboy on the plains. all
his life, and the sun was not very high
in the heavens that very day when. he
had succeeded in transferring his job
It rounding up to another cowboy, and
was already on his way to the nearest
:ity. Here he succeeded in finding a
nan he had once met on the prairies,
ind who gave him employment and a
ittle kindly advice as to the best use
lo make of his time.
Jack was really in dead earnest, so
1e worked, studied and observed
:hrough many succeeding years, until
10-day he is an: educated, prosperous
nan, the secretary of one of the lar-
rest manufacturing concerns in the
South, all because chance or Provi-
lence threw in his way at just the
ight time a book breathing a thorough-
y refined atmosphere, and full of no-
}le, uplifting sentiments—Chicago In-
.er-Ocean.

t shoots in this wise:

r
on: me BAD. HABITS. '
A Chicago Svengali Performs ‘Youderful
Deeds \Vitlr His Power. §
Chicago h’as brc ight to light the
most marvelous hypnotist of '1'ecent
times, if the powers h‘is admirers
claim are his really exist. ,
On the front of a modest little cot--
tage in the pretty temperance suburb
of Englewood, just outside of Chico.-
co, is the sign: “Hypnotism. Cures
liquor, morphine, tobacco, cigarette r
and all useless habits. Stammering
in speech, catching of the breath,’etc.
[ remove all ideas that cause trouble.”
Inside of the cottage is a young 11,13“.
from appearance scarcely out of his
teens and with face and hands almost
girlish in their delicacy, who is said
to possess the almost supernatural,“
powers which enable him to do all that
he claims he can on the board sign
Jutside.
Charles D. Brouyette is his name,
and he is a product of the Western me-
tropolis. He works on the basis that a
vicious habit is the result of an idea
in the possessor‘s head that he wants
to do the thing that the habit calls for.
if you remove the idea you kill the
habit. And that is what he does—
takes away the idea.
At a recent demonstration one of the
patients was a young man who was an
‘nveterate smoker. So firm a hold did
the habit have on him that be con-
sumed 150 cigarettes a day. The Pro:
iessor placed him in'a chair and stood
i)efore him. There was no mistaking
the genuineness of the hypnotic sleep.
The hypnotist told him that the cig-
arette habit was injurious and he
would not want to smoke again. .Upon
being awakened he was olfered a. cig-
arette, but refused. and showed
signs oi.“ disgust at the sight of what
had before been his favorite form of
r)leasurc.
Another patient was a man whose
red nose and bleared face spoke very
plainly of his love for liquor. He was
put to sleep and the hypnotist told him
of the evils of intemperance, and com-
manded him to hereafter not indulge
his passion for drink. He was then
brought out of his trance and when
whiskey was given him it made him
sick.
A very similar case was that of a.
man whose especial vice was chewing
plug tobacco. The same formula of
telling him how bad a habit the one of
:hewing was was gone through. After
being revived he could not bear the
sight of plug tobacco, and even to
100k at it from a distance nauseated
uim. . -
The remarkable part of these extra-
ordinary exhibitions is that the pa-
tients are still as averse to their old
habits as they were just after coming
out of the hypnotic sleep. They have
no desire to return to the use of them,
1nd can account for it in no other way
:han that the Professor did what he
mid he could—removed the ideas from
:heir minds—New York Journal.
She Asked Too Much.
They stood silently in the moonlight.
[Ie had told her goodby sixteen times,
and yet was he loath to go.
He loved her. and she loved him—-
So he thought.
She had not told him so; but he-was
i. very young man. ‘
“Cholly,” she lisped, “there is one
'hing I would crave. May I trust
you?” '
Cholly’s tackles tightened, and he
Looked down into her lovelit orbs with
:he calm resignation of one who was
willing to give up all for the woman
.Je loved.
“Trust me?” he asked. “()h, cruel
me, why ask such a question? ‘What
:an I do to prove my constancy?”
“Get a hair cut.”
The words fell upon a dank, moon be-
smeared atmosphere with a dull,
leathly rattle.
Cholly’s arms dropped to his side,
1nd he 'walked to ‘the front gate,
speechless. There he hesitated.
He who who hesitates is lost. _
To the east was the barber shop. To
be west, the football field. With throb-
3ing heart and heaving bosom the
young man gazed to the east and then
so the west.
“I will not!” he exclaimed, as he
:hook his list at heaven.
And then he walked away with an
thandoned air. His face was to the
yest!—-Up—to-Date. '
