If Vegetino will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and euro such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physicians,
many remedies, suffering for years, is it not
elusive proof, if you are sufferer, you can be
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
great cures? 1t works in the blood in the circu-
lating fluid. 1t can truly be called the Grea
Blood Purifier. The great source of disease orig
mates in the blood and medicine that does
not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate,
has any just claim upon public attention When
the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either
from change Of weather or climate, want of exer-
else, irregular diet, or from any other cause the
Vegetine will renew the blood, carry off the put
rid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the
bowels, and impart tone of vigor to the whole
body. The conviction is, in the public mind as
well as in the medical profession, that the reme-
dies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are
more safe, more successful, in the cure of di-
sease than mineral medicines Vegetine is com
posed of roots, banks and herbs. 1t is pleasant
to take, and is perfectly safe to give an infant

A Bearded WOman's Passion.

The death of the bearded woman,
says Paris correspondent, is an
nounced.? Her name was Jacqueline
Doublin. For the past year she has
been a nightly visitor at the "Chate.
let" Each evening she attended the
theatre in the garb of man, always oc.
cupying the same seat. She called
forth not little attention, her long
black hair and beard rendering her an
object of especial interest. About two
months ago she appeared in an elegant
woman's attire, her face closely shaved.
Notwithstanding the change of dress,
she was instantly recognized by the
gallery, and greeted in a conspicuous
but not satisfactory manner. From
that she was seen no more, and it was
soon rumored that she was i'll; also that
said illness was the result of violent
and hopeless love for the leading actor
of the Chatelet. On her death-bed the
unfortunate Jacqueline wrote letter to
the Commissioner of Police acknow-
Lodging her passion, which the physi-
clans actually state was the cause of
her death.

The Age of the Earth.

The new method of ascertaining the
age of the earth, which is present
topic in German scientific circles, at
tempts to determine approximately the
time at which the fiery liquid earthball
for the first time covered itself with q
crust. This is done by means of the
difference of the longest and the shorest
diameter of the earth. According to
the calculations of Newton and Huy-
gems this would be in 1878, if the rota.
ton of the earth had always been COM
pleted in twenty-four hours, while, in
fact, it amounts to 1898, which is equiv
alent to q rotation time of seventeen
hours and sixteen minutes, which must
have once been the time of the earth s
rotation. It is, however, probable, fo1
reasons which need not be gone into,
that at the time the earth was covering
itself with firm crust the time of rota-
tion was also a mean between the origi.
nal and the present time. That q re.
tardation of the rotation of time has ia.
ken and is still taking place is now as
good as proved, although formerly il
was stl ongly doubted. Of all heavenly
bodies it is the moon whom astronomers
know best, and have most exactly calcu.
lated from her movements. Now, the
co-eficients of the secular acceleration
of the moons course, as found on the
one hand from the oldest observations
of eclipses, on the other from the
theory, are at variance, and there are
differences which ought not to exist in
the calculations of so well observed @
body. Agreement can only be obtained
when it is supposed that during the
1000 years which have passed since the
Greeks first calculated the eclipses, the
rotation of the earth has been retarded
0.01197 seconds. There exists no diff.
Guilty about the causes of this retarda.
tion, which is perfectly well explained
by the tides. From the cipher thus
found, it is easily calculated how much
time will be required to cause retarda'
tion of nearly four hours, and the re-
suit is that since the firm crust of the
earth formed itself, more than 2,000,.
100000 of years must have elapsed.

Gypsy Lovers.

When young gypsy sees a young
maiden of another tribe, he begins bus
mess by stolen glances. If not return
ed, unless possessed of bold heart, he
will relinquish the game; but if, on
the contrary, he sees that they are not
i'll accepted, he manages to waylay the
maiden, perhaps returning from spring
with water poised gracefully on her
head, and commences somewhat thus ::
Indeed l have taken great liking to
you, and I would be most happy man
if you would become my wife; I will
be good and kind husband to you, and
will take care that you will be made
comfortable in your tent, and will not
want for fire in winter. Will you be
mine? If the answer is favorable he
will doubtless tell her to try to meet him
again, or he will, if possible, circum-
vent her in another like manner, and
then their arrangements will be made
to take the first opportunity OF escape
by an elopement. If they are near a
city they will take cars and go to some
other point, but If in the country each
will take a horse, and, like young Loch-
invar, gallop their steeds to place of
security, and await until the storm of
the indignant parents always those of
the girD are blown over. But generally
the tantrums of the old man are terrific.
Woe be to any other child or animal
who crosses his path. He generally
burns and destroys all the effects of the
maiden, and forbids his family men
tioning her name. But after his tenn
per is cool, say in about a month or
two, the lepentant couple return, 60 on
their knees, beg his pardon, and are
forgiven. But if, on the contrary, the
maiden rejects the suit of her admirer,
she goes home and tells her parents of
him, and of his propositions, and then
ensues a scene, a storm that beggars
description. If there are any big bro
theirs on the scene it will generally re.
suit in fair and square English fight,
and after both being satisfied they
shake hands and take smile, and
are as good friends as ever. In Eng
land once couple 81 to my knowledge,
who had had several interviews put
their project in execution one winter
night when the snow lay thick on the
earth. To deceive their parents they
cut the uppers of their shoes, reversed
the soles, and so escaped, their tracks
all indicating coming to the camp.

The Death ..of Captain Hall.

A telegram from London says: "Mor-
ton, who personally attended Captain
Hall to the moment of his death, makes
the statement that Hall returned in
perfect health from the journey which
preceded his final illness. He was @
short time in his cabin, where he took
some coffee, and Immediately afterward
became sick and vomited. Hall said
they were poisoning him. Morton evi.
IDENTIFY believes the same thing. He
also suspects the subsequent medical
treatment. He has, however, a violent
feeling against the doctor, which may
color his Judgment"

A Good Lesson.

If your boys revolt from study, give
them an opportunity to test the pleasure
of manual labor, and then let them fol-
low the occupation they prefer. In nine
cases out of ten, books will carry the
day. "When I was boy" said the
elder Adams, 81 had to study the Latin
grammar, but it was dull, and I hated
it. Ny father was anxious to send me
to college; and, therefore, I studied
grammar till I could bear it no longer,
and going to my father, I told him 1
did not like study, and asked for some
other employment. 1t was opposing
his wishes, and he was quick in his
answer. well, John, if Latin gram
mar does not suit, you may try ditch
ing, perhaps that will. My meadow
needs ditch, and you may put Latin
by and try that This seemed de-
lightful change, and to the meadow I
went. But I soon found ditching hard
er than Latin, and the first forenoon
was the longest I ever experienced.
That day I ate the bread of labor, and
glad was 1 when night came on. That
night l made some comparison between
Latin grammar and ditching, but said
not word about it. I dug the next
forenoon and wanted to return to Latin
at dinner, but it was humiliating, and
1 could not do it. At night, toll con-
quered pride, and I told my father
one of the severest trials of my lite
that if chose, I would go'back to Latin
grammar. He was glad of it; and, if
1 have since gained any distinction, it
has been owing to the two days labor
in that abominable ditch"

Novel Duck Hunting.

An ingenious Minnesota youth is to
be credited with novelty in the way Of
duck hunting. He lives at beautiful
spot known as Rice Lake from the wild
rice growing on its margin as thick as
wheat in field. Ducks love this rice,
and when they have partaken of suffi-
cient quantity their flesh becomes of q
nature to tempt the palate of an anchor
ite. But the Rice Lake ducks, either
from experience or an instinct which
may be said to be wisdom intensified,
do not like human company, and when
they see hunter approaching, gener-
ally hasten out of gun-shot range.
Dick, the youth before alluded to, was
particularly fond of ducks, and looked
with contempt upon the futile efforts of
his sire to provide the table with this
delicacy. He determined to have some
ducks for dinner, if it took all the
morning to accomplish the task. Pro-
ceeding to the corn-field, he selected a
large pumpkin, cut hole in one end,
removed its internal arrangements, car
ried it down to the shore, divested him
self of his clothes, placed the pumpkin
over his head, and waded in among the
rice. Ina short time the fat and tender
pioneer of a flock of ducks approached,
and imagining the vegetable to be free
from guile, encouraged the others to
follow. They were partaking Of their
matutinal meal, when astonishment
struck them at the sight of the pioneer
suddenly diving-not that there is any.
thing astonishing in duck diving-but
this one dived feet foremost and ne.
elected to come up. A committee Of
one was appointed to investigate, and
approaching the pumpkin, suddenly
made backward dive, and was gone.
This was enough for the others. They
fled in dismay, and henceforth mum
bered as among their deadliest terrorf
the innocent ingredient of New Eng
land pies,

Education of Women.

Commenting upon the fact that not
one woman was saved on the fatal At
lantic, although many had the same
chance of life as the men, an exchange
says:-"The strength of women at the
crisis of their life depends on their ply
sical culture while children. Let pa
rents be no more ashamed of their girls
brown faces and fists than of their boys.
Let them train and clothe them 80 that
they can run and climb and care for and
protect themselves. Let them take
them with their brothers into the har-
vest field. A boy is not ashamed of
work; no more should be a girl. The
refinement that shuts girl out of Gods
sunshine, and allows her no roughel'
work indoors than to embroider wor-
steads, or tap ivory keys, or dust mar
BILE mantle, is refining her off of the face
of the earth to give place to the daugh-
ters of the servants Of the kitchen"
