Survival of the Fittest." I"

The ingenious doctrine propounded by
Mr.. Darwin, the tireless Investigator OF
nature and her laws, is as applicable in
determining the fate OF medicines as in
that OF the animal sppecies. Every year
new remedies are brought before the
public, and are soon completely discard
ed as their sale rapidly dIscreasss. Only
those medicines which are best suited to
the peoples wants survive the first test
IL they "are tried. and found wanting in
the merits which they are claimed to
possess. no amount Of advertising will
make them popular. OF all the RENE
dies ever introduced to the public, none
are so popular as DR.. Pierce's Family
Medicines. Their sale has steadily in
creased each year. and Wholesale drug

them is greater than ever before. II you

There'is perhaps no article of dress
which so finishes out the appea rance of a
man or boy, as a neat. new fashionable
hat or esp. In fact. il is more important
than all the balance of the clothing worn.
Now the styles of hats and caps for men
and boys change, not so frequently as the
styles of woman's hats and bonnets, but
still they often change. How would a
man OF taste feel to appear in company
with a hat of last years style, or OF the
year before2
Now all this leads Us to the remark
that il you want hat or cap in the latest

pair at once to the great clothing store
of T j. Stewart & Co, next door to the

Shakespeare MS an Actor.

There Is tradition that Shakespeare
played the part Of aking with a peculiar
grace and majesty. In confirmation Of
this pretty story Is told. 1t Is said
that one day when the Queen was in the
theater, Shakespeare mimicked royalty
so well, that Elizabeth, who was always
ready to have a little fun with clever
man, even though he was a poor play
err. whispered to her ladies that she
would try If she could not this pretend
cd monarch turn into an awkward fell
low enough ut moments warning
Accordingly az critical point in the
scene, the Queen, who was sitting just
over the stage, which was then held to
be the place of honor, let her handker-
chief drop at the feet of Shakespeare,
who was just then standing close below
her. Her mischievous majesty expected
to see the actor start and rcddcn and
lose his cue. Instead Of that he finished
his speech with all his usual power, and
without seeming to notice the handker-
chief. Then STOPPING and picking Il up,
he gave IL back to the Queen with a
bow, in which there was an indcscriba-
BILE mixture Of dignity and homage, say
ing. as he did 50, these words to his
train Of stage courtiers

A Man Living with His Throat Cut

"A correspondent writing from

Reading Eagle, says that Joseph Putt
of Robesonia Furnace, who cut his
throat from ear 10 ear on the 18th OF
June, was still living on the 25th. DR..
Livengood, who is looking after the I'M
fortunate man, has made close exam
ination Of the terrible wound. which i
four inches long. running directly across
the throat. The trachea is severed en-
tirely, and slipped up and down, max
ing space Of almost an inch between
where the ends d. not meet. The
esophagus is also partly cut, which
makes il difficult to administer medi-
cine or nourishment 1t Is one Of the
most remarkable cases on record, to see
man with his throat almost cut from
ear to ear and still living. He breathes
entirely through the cut in the trachea,
and when he talks the sound is mufllcd
and seems 70 come out Of the same hole.
When be partakes Of nourishment part
Of ii leaks out also. A Shiny matter is
oozing out continually. He appears to
have very little. II any, pain in the
wound. While the Doctor was probing
the wound with an instrument he never
moved muscle or gave a witch, but
held on quietly. The physicians think
his case an extraordinary one, and have
little hopes for his recovery. The wound
cd man has entirely lost his reason, and
is not cognizant Of What is transporting
about him.
