A TOUGE STORY.

A returned traveller from the North tells
Of a curious mode they have in Siberia of
procuring the skin ofthe sable. Their far
is in the greatest perfection in the depth Of
winter, at which time the hunter proceeds to
the forest, armed with pitcher oil water and
some carbon meat he deposits The bate at
the foot of a high tree, and climbs to the top.
AS soon as the animal, attracted by the
scent arrives, the man drops some waiter on
his tail end it instantaneously becomes froz-
en- to the ground On which, descending
from his elevation with incredible rapidty,
with a sharp knife, cuts him transyersIy on
the face. The sable from excess of pain,
taking an extraordinary spring forward, runs
off, and (his tail being fast to the ground J
out OF his skin, OF course, leaving it prey
to the hunter F.! Upon expressing a SLIGHT
doubt as to the probability of this mode of
skinnlng the animals, my friend assured me
that he never could have believed it, had he
not frequently tiled it himself
And we couldn't if we had seen it.-Ep.
We have recently heard Jest which is
so good that we have some suspicion that it
is also very old, attributed to a legal wit,
who being much harrassed by "capas" -writs
for debt, absconded from the state. Being
reproaohcd for his conduct in escaping rom
the jurisdiction of the law, he replied that
he fully agreed withthat great moralist, Pope
in his opinion that
" A mon EST mans the noblest work Of God"

GHOSTS.

That drolest of humorists, Hood, talks OF
ghosts in the following very facetious and
disrospectlul manner;
"Ghosts be hanged No such thing in
nature; all laid long ago, before the wood
pavements. What should they come for?-
The golfers may rise for higher wages, and
the Chartst may rise for reform, and Joseph
Surge may rise, and the rising generation
may rise-but that the dead Idrise, on
ly to make ones hair rise, is more than |
credit Suppose yourself ghost. Well,
ifnot come out your grave to serve friend,
how are you to help him? and if it's an
enemy, what's the use of appearing to him
you can't pitch into him ?"

Of New Jersey, of distinguished atanments and exalted
reputation =
SIDNEY New Jersey July 10, 1913,
DR.. A. Fl. CHRIsrIE-Dear Sire You wish to know of
me what has been the result j my own case, of the
application of THE GALVAMC BELT AND NECK.
LACE. My reply is as follows;
For about twenty years | ha been suffering from
Dyspepsia. Every year the SYMPTOMS became worse,
nor could obtain permanent rlei from any course
OF medical treatment whatever About fourteen years
since in consequence of frequent exposure to the
weather in the discharge of ny pastoral duties,
became subject to severe Chrome rheumatism, which
for year after year. caused me ndescribable anguish.
Farther: in the winter of 'j and 46, in conse.
various other churches in this ngion was attacked
by the Bronchitis, which soon became severe as
to require an immediate Suspension of my pastoral
lahors. My nervous system tras nOw thoroughly pros.
trdted and my Bronchitis becme worse, so also did
my Dyspepsia and Rheumatic alection-thus evincing
that these disorders connected with each other
through the medium of the Nervous System. In the
whole pharmacopea there seemed to be no remedial
agent which could reach and recuperate my Nervous
System every thing that had tried for this purpose had
completely failed At last was led by my friends to eX'
anime your inventions, and 0hough with no very san
guine hopes of their eicency) determined to try the
effect of the application OF the GALVANlC BELT AND
NECKLACE with the MAGNETIC FLUID This was
in June, 1916. To GREAT ADJUSTMENT, IN TWO
DAYS MY DYSPEPSIA HAD GONE; IN EIGHT DAYS WAS
ENABLED RESUME MY PASTORAL LABORs NOR HAVE
SINCE OMITTED A SINGLE SERVICE ON ACCOUNT OF THE
BRONCHITIS; AND RHEuMATo AFFECTION HAS en-
TIRELY CEASED TO TROUBLE Such is the wonder
full and happy results of the experiment
| have recommended the BELT and FLUID to.many
who have been likewise suffering from Neuralgia afec-
tons They have tried them WITH HAPPY RESULTS,
BELIEVE IN EVERY CASE.

A race with the Cars.

An exchange tells the following rory
yarn cat Morrow, green looking man
got upon the cars, tied large cur dog ne
had with him to the iron stanchlon OF 'he
hindmost car, and deliberatly took his seat
among the ladies. Away bounded the IRON
horse with his usual speed, to the no sinai,
wonderment of the countryman, who had
never ridden so fast before. Arriving at
Fosters Crossings, he walked back to take
look at his favorite animal, and his sup
prise may be imagined, when he found only
the head of the dog attached to the rope
with which he had fastened him. After
being perfectly satisfied that the dog was
dead, he merely uttered, Well this is the
only Twin critter that could beat that dog
