"Please examine that parcel"
said, putting it into the druggists
hands.
He did so, carefully opening the
papere and examining their contents.
They contained three white pow
ders.
"llow do they correspond with

others seem to have been SO mys-

l need hardly tell you how the
trial ended. Charles Courtney was
called by the prosecution to prove
some unimportant point. The cOun-
sci whom l had retained for the de-
Tense asked him but three questions
! on cross-eXamination:
"Had he accompanied the prisoner
from the druggist's:"
L" Had he lost an orercoat that
day."
"Was that it,"
The questions were very simple,
but the effect upon the witness was
most remarkable. He trembled and
turned pale. He knew his secret was
out, aud that lying a useless. He
answered all three questions in the
affirmative, but in q voice scarcely
audible. Before the next witness vas
called he slipped from the court and
was never heard of afteward.
With the testimony of the detective
and the druggist, not forgetting that
of the thief who stole the Overcoat.

Almost every one has lately read
someI hing about the DobruGja-
the peninsular plain of Bulgaria
which lies between the lower course
of the Danube and the western
shore Of the Black Sea. 1t is par
licularly prominent III the geogra-
phy which many OF us have
learned pelfoice, since the out
break OF the present war between
Russia and Turkey. But to real
ize how interesting this region re
ally is, and what attractions it Of
fers in the way of personal obser-
vation aud adventure, one cannot
do better than to read the recently
published volume, entitled, "Be-
tween the Danube and the Black
Sea-" by Henry c. Barkley, an
English civil engineer, who has re-
sliced thirteen years in the eastern
part of European Turkey.
A few words as to the
Bulgariars themselves. They are

people, industrious, intelligent and

or wood, and sometimes OF what
Is called "whattle and dab" and
are usually clean and comfortable,
except that an unpleasant smell is
apt to alise from the ground floor,
which is frequently used as Il sta
BILE for cattle. Almost everything
the inhabitants require is produced
in the villages, including all the
clothes of both men and women.
The healthy appearance of the
people indicates that they have
been well clad and we'll fed from
Infancy. 81 never lived among
any 1ace," wlites Mr.. Barkley
''where female virtue is more high
~ priced than it is among the
Bnlgarians, aud [ can safely as
sert that though our English work
men, men of ali sorts and all
acters, lived for months at Il
time iii Bulgarian villages on the
most intimate terms with the
women, yet there was never the
faintest whisper of scandal. The
village gills, though always ready
for laugh or n talk, never driit

respect"

doubt as to whether he really un-
derstood the language.

Dobrudja borders the line of the
Kusterdjie Railway on the north,
and the engineers traversed it
many times in the course of their
work. Though pronounced as we
have spelled it, Mr.. Barkley says

 John Jones got little too much of the ''balm of life'' to hold his equilib- rum last Saturday evening and on hls way home was relieved of his pocket book, which contained $10.

Survival of the Fittest."

The ingenious doctrine propounded by MT. Darwin, the tireless investiga- tor of nature and her laws, is as appli- cable in determining the fate of medi- cines as in that of the animal species. Every year new remedies are brought before the public. and are soon com pletely discarded as their sale rapidly decreases. Only those medicines which are best suited to the peoples wants survive the first test. If they
 "are tried and found wanting' in the merits which they are claimed to pos sess, no amount of advertising will make them popular. Of all the reme- dies ever introduced to the public, none are so popular as Dr. Piefee's Family. Medicines. Their sale has steadily in- increased each year, and wholesale druggists assert that the present de- nand for them is greater than ever before.

Neosho (Mo.) Times: "It never rains but it pours," and each sue ceeding drop adds new evidence to the fact that Newton county IS the leading lead producing region of the Southwest, and without undue ex- citement, fuss or furry she is firmly establishing herself at the head of the mineralogical column. A week ago Messrs. Smith and Long who have been prospecting and mining for several months in the neighbor- hood of the Conley mines, on Cedar Creek, six miles west of Neosho, struck what promises to be by far the richest lead ever opened in a country proverbial for big strikes. In a new shaft, at q depth of seven feet, they ran into mineral, and up to Saturday last had reached depth of twenty-four feet, seventeen feet being through mineral varying Tn size from partridge egg to a peck measure, and in that depth some ten or fifteen thousand pounds of inner al were taken out. These facts we gain from Mir. Smith and others who have visited this new bonanza. The greatest excitement exists over this discovery, and a number of new shafts are being sunk, and as the west end of the county is known ts be a rich lead bearing region, few weeks diligent labor there may pos sibly work complete revolution in the mining business of the South west.
