SOME people discredit the powers Of
the phopogrAph, the latest invention,
which is to bottle up sounds for reproduc
ton centuries hence. But why should we
doubt this when very famous traveller in
Siberia has recorded that one day in the
intense cold there, the notes of bis postil-
ion froze in the horn as he blew it, so that
no sound was heard; but afterward, in an
inn, they thawed out, and played the KinG
Of Prussia's March all the way through
without the honest Positions putting bis
mouth to the horn. If we are to believe
this story Of the German Baron, we can
not doubt the power of the photograph.

An Indiana Merchants Escape.

The Cincinnati Gazette tells this story:
Abraham Johnson, merchant of Koko
mo, Ind, left his home on foot to see a
Mr. Hunt, living three miles from Young
America in a direction south of west. He
held claim against Mr.. Hunt, and his
object was to get a new note. He arrived
at Hunts just as the family were going
to dinner, and he took dinner with them.
Afterward, near shutdown, Mr.. Johnson
started for home. There are several
angles in the road, 50, being afoot, he
crossed some fields to shorten the dis
lance. AS he came upon the road, a
mile or thereabout west of Young Ameri-
Ca, he met three men who were driving
pair of horses to spring wagon in
which there was but one seat. They spoke
to him, having stopped the horses, and
learning who he was, remarked he was the
man they wanted to see, as they had an
improvement in machinery they desired
to show him. 1t was now the dusk of
the evening. One of the men took box
out Of the wagon, another acted as if he
were examining a wheel, while Mr.. john
son puts himself in position to look at
the box about to be opened. He knows
no more about it. Thirty hours after
that time he became conscious and found
himself in the darkness, wedged in q
close place, as close as if he were i'll a
grave BY degrees he released himself,
dragging his body along, pushing chunks
of wood out of his way, and by-and-bye
emerged from hollow log. Looking
about him in great bewilderment he saw
a dim light in the distance, and naturally
took that direction. He arrived at the
house and awakened the family. Here
he found out that he was less than three
miles from Delphi and from thirteen to
fifteen miles from home; that it was just
past midnight of Thursday night, and
that it was thirty hours later than when
he had met the three men. The truth
now broke in on him. The bruise and
lump on the back of his head helped him
to comprehend the situation. He had
been knocked down, hauled more than a
dozen miles and concealed in the log for
dead. He only had twenty-five dollars
about him and that was gone, but it was
known in the neighborhood that he had
engaged to max purchase on which
$500 were to have been paid on Wednes-
day evening. He was served with re-
freshments at the house of the strangers
and was urged to remain until morning,
but he got the best directions he could
and started at once to go home. It seems
almost staggering thought that lie
would be the balance Of that night and
all the next day getting over the twelve
or fifteen miles between him and his
home. Bnt it must be understood that
in his condition there were chances for
great bewilderment, and that he did not,
by any means, pursue straight direc-
ton. Besides, through that part of the
country, he had no acquaintance. East
and south of his home he knew nearly
every person, and all knew him, but west
he knew no enc beyond the immedia e
neighborhood Of his home.

Who Owned IL.

Realty is realty. The Iowa lawyers
have had a wrangle over a meteor. A
large fragment of the big meteor of 1875
fell in the highway on lands owned by
the Amana society, and German named
Mas picked it up. The society claimed
title under the law of accretion, the
realty in the highway belonging to them,
and whatever came to the lands natural
accretion being part of the realty. The
German put in counter claim based
upon original discovery and the nine
points of the law. The court has de-
cided that the society have the better
title, and the fragment of the meteor
will be placed in the State University.
Realty is realty, whether deposit be
made during the glacial period
or yesterday. Scientific tramps who
spend their nights in trudging along the
highways and hunting for meteors may
as well go to bed at curfew. Realty is
realty.

History of a Picture.

Two of the most celebrated artists the world
has ever known dwelt in the same city. One
delighted in delineating beauty in all its graces
of tint, form and motion. His portraits were
instinct with the charm of physical vigor. The
graceful half voluptuous outline of form and
feature harmonized with delicatey blended
tiHts. On his canvas the homliest faces had
an almost irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only in depicting weird and gloomy
subjects Above all, did he excel in painting
the portraits of the dying. The agonizing
! death throe, the CHASTITY face and form, were
all depicted with marvellous fidelity. There
existed between these artists the most intense
dislike. At length this dislike eliminated The
beauty loving artist had been engaged in paint
ing the portrait of beautiful woman. Con-
noisseurs pronounced it the most wonderful
piece of art that had ever been produced. His
brother artist was jealous of his fame and
sought revenge. By bribing the keeper of the
studio he gained access to the picture each
night. At first he was content to, only deaden
the briancy of the complexion and eyes,
efface the bloom from cheek and lip and paint
shadow on either cheek. Later, his strokes
grew holder and freer, and one morning the
artist awoke to find the whole outline of the
portrait changed. He could scarcely recognize
in the emaciated form and haggard eounte-
nance the glowing conception he had embodied.
The pallid face and expressionless eyes he had
attributed to a lack of genuineness in his ma
terials but when the outlines were changed he
suspected the cause and Indignantly dismissed
the keeper. What the revengeful artist marred
by few rapid strokes of his skillful brush was
only restored by years of patient industry.
Reader need we name the artists-Health,
who paints the flowers and GRASSY carpet >
no less than the human form diyine-Disease
the dreaded artist who revels among the ruins
both of nature and humanity-and Careless
ness, the keeper to whom health often intrusts
his portraits. And is it not the beauty Of
woman, the most admired of all the works
which adorn the studio of Health, that Disease
oftenest seeks to mar2 The slightest stroke
of his brush upon the delicate organization
leaves an imprint that requires much skill ant
patience to efface. Restoration must be
prompt. Carelessness must be dismissed. Lei
suffering women heed the warning ere Disea
has marred the chief beauty-Health- beyond
reparation. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
has been used by thousands of those sufferers
and they are unanimous in their praise Of its
excellence. If you would be transformed from
the pallid, nervous invalid into happy vigor
GUS woman, try it.
