Wonderful Escape.

Who ever heard, or expected to hear,
that mans legs could be run over by
the cars, and not be crushed? And yet
the thing has actually happened. We
clip the following from the Boston Id
Uertiser:
L. Averill, u Wells River, Vt, a
freight conductor, fell under the cars on
Monday, April u, and the wheels of the
forward truck of freight car, weighing
10, 500 pounds, ran over his legs, but,
strange to say, did not break the bones,
and scarcely tore the skin. Two jack
knives in his pocket were bent nearly
double, and it is thought that the hange
struck them first, thus avoiding the
shearing effect of the fange upon the
rail. This is probably the only case on
record where a car has run over a mans
legs leaving the bones unframed.

A Man of Family.

John Hepner, a German, now resi-
dent of Reading, Pa, has lived to be
called the father of more children than
probably any other man in the country.
He is so years old and has had three
wives. He was first married in Germa-
ny in 1910, and his wife died in 184S.
In that short time she bore him seven
teen children-two pairs OF twins, four
sets of triplets, and one at a single birth.
Mr.. Hepner married again in less than a
year. He was married in the latter part
of June, 1849, and in February another
child was born to him, followed by a
second on the following Christmas.
After that his wife bore him twins five
consecutive times, and three children at
single birth, making fifteen children In
nine years, at the end of which time his
second wife died. His two marriages
covered period of seventeen years, and
yielded him thirty-two children. He had
come to this country three years before
the death of his second wife. He was
married again shortly afterward, this
time to a widow with one child. This
wife is still living, and has borne Hepner
nine children. Of the first set of chill
dren none are now living, and only

Simple Rules for Interest.

The following rules for obtaining in
terest are simple and accurate:
Six Per Cent. Multiply any given
number Of dollars by the number of days
of interest desired, separate the right
hand figure and divide by six; the result
is the true interest on such sum for such
number of days at six per cent.
Eight Per Cent. Multiply any given
amount by the number of days upon
which it is desired to ascertain the in
terest, and divide by forty-fve, and the
result will be The interest of such sum for
the time required, at eight per cent.
Ten Per Cent. Multiply the same as
above, and divide by thirty-six, and the
result will be the amount of interest at
ten per cent.

CONE, AND LET Us REASON ToGE,

COME, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER.
To the afflicted in body we offer few
words of plain, practical reasoning. No
matter under what form of sickness you
labor there is one great truth you should
ever keep in mind, viz: ALI disease
originates in an impure condition of the
blood. Purify that, and the disease must
depart, for it has nothing to feed on; but
you cannot purify the blood by the use
of poisonous drugs and exhaustive s6imu-
lants; the relief which these afford is
temporary and deceptive, leaving you
worse off at every interval. The best
Blood Purifier ever. discovered is DR..
Walkers FAMOUS VINEGAR BTrTERs,

try the VINEGAR BrrTERs, and a few
draughts will convince you of their viz
tue Dr. Walker, the discoverer of this
priceless remedy, had been given up to
die by the physicians, and is now sound
and healthy man from their use. 36

JAVA is an interesting place for mar
ried ladies. A chief of the country gave
orders recently that on his decease his
two youngest wives should be killed in
order to accompany him to the next

aware of the fate awaiting them and fled
to the English fort on the border, where
they put themselves under the protection
Of the English flag. But women always
were contrary.
