Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by
Their Fellow-Man.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
GEKTLEMEN: 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 Spying I became
much debilitated and again took an-
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I conside1 P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen-,
eral tonic to build 11p 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' 1n its results, and I, the1efore,
cheerfully recommend it.-

. SPRINGFIELD, M o.
GENTI EMEN: 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 catar1h, 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,

HOW FURS ARE WORN IN RUSSIA.
Skins That are Clasé'ed as “Cold Furs” in
That Country.
It seems :1 contradiction to speak of
a “cold fur,” but that is what the Rus-
sians style some of the wraps that we
in America ignorantly co‘T'nsider warm
enough for the coldest climate. A
writer in Lippincott’s says that the
first thing an American woman has to
do when she reaches Russia. is to re-
construct her ideas on the subject of
furs. Her beloved sealskin goes far
down on the list. It is one of the “cold
furs” that no Russian lady would care
to wear as :1 lining—and, it is as lin-
ings that all furs are worn—because it
is too tender. The only thing it is
good for is a short jacket to .be worn
between seasons, and then it must be
used entirely for walking.
Clothed in these furs. the Russian
seldom takes cold. Few Russians wear
flannels. The houses are kept de-
lightfully warm, and at places of en-
tertainment no extra clothing could be
borne. No Russian enters a room,
theater or public hall at any season of
the year without removing his cloak
and overshoes, and no well trained
servant would allow an ignorant for-
eigner to trifle with‘ his health by so
doing.
The proper furs for the climate are
the “downy” furs that, beginning
tl1e brown goat, go all the way up to
that climax of beauty and luxury, the
black fox 01' the silver fox, soft and
delicate as feathers, and warm as a
July day.
CAMPHOR FOR HIS WIFE.
l‘iie Farmer’s Subterfuge to Obtain Alcho-
1101 to Quench His Thirst.
There was a, farmer who used to
have his occasional spree. Every one
knew his failing, and neither of the
druggists in town would sell him a
drop. One day he brought a quart
bottle into one of the apothecary
shops, with two or three big lumps of
gum camphor in the bottom. He told
the druggist that his wife wanted her
camphor bottle filled with alcohol.
The druggist filled it without suspect-
ing anything. In a week the old man
came again, and in a little while the
third time. Finally the druggist dis-
covered that the “gum camphor” was
mi. ky qua1',tz picked up in the fields,
and that the farmer had p cred cani-
plior 0v .1 the outside of the bottle un-
til cnough had crystalized there to
look natural and smell right. The
quartz didn't hurt the alcohol for
drinking purposes.
A May Queen.
A gallant captain was called up by
his colonel to explain his assaulting
the sentry on his return to barracks
after dinner on the previous night.
The captain had forgotten the incident
entirely. The sentry declared that the
officer was evidently drunk. The ._cap-
tain’s Irish soldier servant, however,
emphatically protested that his master
was sober. “How is it that’you'are
so sure that he was sober?" asked the
colonel. “Did he speak to you?" “He
did, sorr.” “What did he say?” “He
tould me to be sure and call him early
in the morning, sorr.” “That seems all
right,” said the colonel; “and did—ah
—did the captain say why he wished
to be called early?” “He did, sorr. He
said that he was going to be Queen of
May.”—The Wave.
Horses’ Keen Instinct.
The horse has a strong sense of
smell. He will leave musty hay un-
touched in his bin, no matter however
hungry; neither will he drink objec-
tionable water, however thirsty. His
intelligent nostril will widen, quiver
and query over the daintiest bits
offered by the fairest hands. Blind
horses, Tid-Bits says, will gallop wild-
ly about a pasture without striking
the surrounding fence. The sense of
smell informs them of its proximity.
Others will, when loosened from the
stable, go to the gate or bars opening
to their accustomed feeding-grounds.
The horse, in browsing, is guided in
its choice of proper food entirely by
its nostrils. Blind horses do not make
mistakes in their diet.
Brains Sleep in Sections.
Sir lames Cric..ton Biowne, the ex-
pert 011 brain diseases, holds that in-
somnia ‘is not attended with such dis-
astrous consequences as is, commonly . , _
'bl'lSkIy around
supposed. It is not. as dangerous.as
the'solicitude of the sufferer. He sug-
gests that the brains of literary men,
who are the most frequent victims,
acquire the trick of the heart, which
takes a doze of a fraction of a second
after each beat, and so manages to get
six hours’ rest in twenty-four. Some
brains, in cases of insomnia, sleep in
sections, different brain centres going
off duty in tu1'n.——Phrenological Jour-
nal. 1
He Wanted a. Box.
The other day a. ragged news'boy
went to therpostiflice and asked the
price of a box. He was told it was so
much a quarter. “Quarter .of what?”
said he. After the explanation had
been duly made and impressed, the
urchin was asked for What purpose he
wanted the box. “Well,” said he, “I’ve
writ a letter, and I want a box to put
it in when the answer comes.”~—Port-
and, Me., Argus.

Deer Fear not Snake.
it is a curious fact that deer are not
affected by the bites of poisonous
snakes. They know this by instinct,
and do not hesitate to attack the rep-
"tiles, stamping them to death and gen
erally receiving many bites in the pro-
cess of extermination. Undoubtedly
there is something in the character of
the animal’s blood that makes it im-
pervious to the deadly'venom. Some

LEGION OF HONOR DECORATIONS
A Law Passed Limiting the Number 0
Mlembers to 12,000. '
Of all the French institutions, per
haps only one of any nationaLimport-
once is a monumeht to the consulate.
That one is the Legion of Honor,
which" Napoleon organized while that
most transitional of governments was
in existence. It appealed strongly to
French instincts, has survived all the
changes through which France has
passed since that time, and its bit of
red ribbon is still considered a suffi-
cient reward for most important ser-
vices to the state. Napoleon Ill be-
stowed th-e. deco-ration so widely and
with so little regard for the character
of the men whom he made Chevaliers
that for a while the order fell
Toward the close of
that unfortunate monarch’s reign there
were about 25,000 civil members, be-
sides all those who had been decorated
as soldiers. To restore the prestige of
the order an act was passed in 1872
providing that only one new Chevalier
should be nominated for every two va-
cancies caused by death. The efiect
has been to reduce the number of civil
knights to 10,000, but recent ministries
have found the awarding of the few
favors of this sort at their disposition
created for them vastly more enemies
than friends. The Meline cabinet has
solved the difficulty for itself, at least,
by introducing and securing the pass-
age of an act repealing the law of
1872, and substituting for it one fixing
the number of civil knights perma-
nently at 12,000. There was a long de-
bate in the chamber of deputies on this
bill, and the socialists opposed it
fiercely, but the measure finally passed
by a vote of 344 to 124.—New York
Times. .
GREELEY’S WRITING.
l‘wo Roosters llnitated [His Cliirography
and the Old Compositor Set It.
There was only on printer who could
read Greeley’s writing well enough to
put it in type. He used to boast that
he could read the great editor’s won-
drous scrawl a. mile away.
One night the boys in the New York
Tribune composing room “put up :1
job" on the old man. They took two-
1'ooste1's, made them walk around on.
a newly inked form, and then run all
over ten sheets of copy paper.
The foreman wrote over it, in
Greeley’s well-known scrawl, “The
Plain Duty of Congress,” and put it
on old man Lawton’s hook. I think
his name was Lawton, but if it was
not it does not matter much.
The old printer picked it up, swore
a little,-— remarked that they had to
shove the stuff on the old man as us-
ual, adjusted his spectacles and began
sticking type.
The other printers watched him for
a few minutes, but beyond a muttered
oath or two he gave no sign. Lawton
went on setting type until about half
way through the “copy.”
Thenhe was stuck.
He took the copy over to the fore-
man and asked:
“Jack, what is that word?"
“I don’t know,” replied the foreman.
“You know I could never read that
stuff.”
. Lawton took the sheet down to
Greeley and pointed out to him a par-
ticularly awful scrawl ‘of the rooster’s
foot, asking what that word was.
Greeley looked at it a moment, and
replied vith a frown:
" ‘Unconstitution'al.’ of course.”
Lawton went back to the composing
room and finished his task with the ut<
most sangfroid. '
The old man never knew how the
‘copy” was produced—Journal of
Education.
Refurbishing the Fez; _
A business in Constantinople, mo-
nopolized by the Greeks or Armenians,
is the renovation of the fez. This
hea«flgeu.-r, which is worn almost uni-
versally by the male population, is
manufactured in France. It very soon,
however, loses its pristine jauntiness,
and becomes a limp and dejected af-
fair, that gives to its owner a rakish
air of imbecility not to be borne. In
this condition it becomes necessary to
resort to the fez restorer, who prompt-
ly adjusts the offending headgear over
a heated brass pot, shaped
flower pot. Over this goes a second
conical pot, which is made to revolve
the lower one by
means of two handles. When this is
removed the fez is found to have re-
gained its youthful appearance and
vigor, and is returned to its rightful
owner, who stands. patiently by.—

Cat and Dog Allies.
‘The excellent understanding exist-
ing between a cat and dog belonging
to Matthias Roderick is an enterpris-
ing topic in New Brunswick, and par-
ticularly on Nelson street, where Rod-
erick lives. The dog will not allow
any one to tease the cat, and the cat
resents any meddling with the dog. 0n
il‘hursday morning a strange dog tres-
passed on the premises, and Roderick’s
dog tackled him, but was getting the
worst of the conflict when the cat,
which had been watching the conflict
from a distance, sprang to her friend’s

dog. and dug her teeth and claws into

MIKE PERFORMED HIS now.
And Jo Jefl‘erson was not Allowed to
Continue His Morning Nap.
A number of years ago Joe J eflerson
played a one-night engagement in a
small Indiana town, appearing in his
fave rite part of Rip Van Winkle. In
the hotel in which he stayed was an
Irishman, “recently landed,” who act-
ed as porter
Judged by the deep and serious inter—
est which he mm: in the house, he
might have been clerk, lessee and pro-
prietor rolled into one. At about. six
o’clock in the morning Mr. Jefferson
was startled by a violent thumping on
his'door. When he struggled into
consciousness, and realized that he
had left no “call” at the oflice, he was
naturally indignant. But his sleep was
spoiled for that morning, so he arose,
and soon after appeared before the
clerk. “See here,” he demanded of
that individual, “why was I called at
this unearthly hour?” “I don‘t know,
sir,” answered the clerk. “I’ll ask
Mike.” The Irishman was according-
ly summoned» Said the clerk: “Mike,
there was no call for Mr. Jefferson.
Why did you disturb him?” Taking
the clerk by the lapel of the coat, the
Hibernian led him to one side, and
said in a mysterious Whisper: “He
were shnoring loike a horse, sor; and
I’d heerd the b’ys saying something
about how he were once afthcr shlap-

Definite Instructions.
“The Albany Journal” tells a story
of two green reporters, Englishmen,
who were sent by the city editor of a
certain newspaper to a suburban town
to write up the burning ‘of an orphan
asylum. Late that night, when the
news editor was wondering why no
“copy” about the fire was coming by
wire, a telegraph messenger rushed in
and handed him a dispatch. He opened
it and read:
“Dear Sir: We are here. What shall
we do?”
It was signed by the names of the
two men sent to write up the fire.
The news editor made a few remarks
which, while they were appropriate to
the occasion, would not look well in
mint; then he wrote on a telegraph
blank this brief message:
‘Iind out where the fire is hottest
and jump in.”

A BLAZING BEAR STORY.
The Hunter was Treed but Gave Bruin z.
“’arnl Reception.
They were spinning yarns at the
chase, and this was the contribution
of the Congressman: “After a pretty
hard campaign I went with a hunting
party to the upper peninsula. One
morning I had trumped an unusual
distance from camp and suddenly
came upon’three half-grown cubs roll-
ing and tumbling over each other in
play. I shot one and the other two
beat a clumsy retreat. S tting my
gun against a tree I reach my cub
while he was still kicking.
“Hearing 3 noise, I whirled around
to find the mother coming at me, her
mouth wide open and her eyes glar-
ing. There was no chance to reach the
rifle. I’m no sprinter, and 'took the
only alternative by shinning up a tall
pine tree. She stopped a. minute to
examine the victim of my" shot, and
was more enraged than ever as she
came climbing after me. . Once in the
tufted top of that pine: I did some fast-
er thinking, gentlemen, than I ever did
on any question of state. The hear
was coming, and losing no time. I
was without weapon of any kind. It
looked as though bruin had the drop.
“But a man in my predicament over-
looks no chances. In my vest pocket
I had a well-filled match safe. In my
hip pocket was a pint of brandy, mi-
nus one moderate nip. In my hunting
jacklet was a bunch of tow. I satu-
rated that with brandy, and, as the
bear approached, I anointed her with
the remainder. Dividing the tow so
as to have two shots, I lit the first half
and dropped it on the bear. I didn’t
need the other half. There was a flash
of light as though a pan of powder had
been ignited. The air was filled with
the odor of burning hair. The bear
let go and fell down, because it was
quicker. Then she left a fiery streak
toward the horizon. and made more
noise than any ordinary thunder

BEECHER’S ONLY POEM.
$10,000 Offered for It, but the Author
would not Accept.
It was related by Mrs. Beecher that
during their courtship Mr. Beecher
once “dropped into poetry,” and wrote
a few lines of verse teeming with af~
fection for his sweetheart. But the
verses were :11“ ay kept Sacred by
Mrs. Beecher, and nothing could win
them from her.
One day Mr. and Mrs. Beecher were
in the oflice of Robert Bonner, the
publisher.
"Why don’t you write a poem,
Beecher?" said Mr. Bonner.
“He did once,” said Mrs. Beecher.
“Recite it for me, won’t you, Mrs.
Beecher. _
But the eyes of the great preacher
were riveted on his wife, and she
knew that he meant silence.
“Come,” said Mr. Bonner, “I'll give
you $5,000 if you will re its that poem
to me,” addressing Mrs. Beecher.
“Why, it ran——” quickly said Mrs.
Beecher.
“Eu-nice,” simply said Mr. Beecher.
And although Robert Bonner offered
to double the sum first ofiered, he
never got the poem from Mrs. Beecher.
It had been hidden away ever since by
Mrs. Beecher, and cherished as one of
