Two Sw1ND1Es ON FARMERS. Here are two of the latest swindles on farmers: Two strangers make their appearance as cattle buyers. In making purchases they pay one-thirdlcash, giving bogus check for the balance on various banks in the State. The cattle are hurried off to the railroad, shipped East, and sold for cash. In due time the checks are returned from the banks as worthless, and the unlucky holders find they have been swindled. A circular is received by farmer stating that 8 new and i'm proved winter wheat has been dis covered, and the seed will be furnished free of charge until a good crop has been raised, on condition that $1 is sent for packing and postage. If the victim responds, nothing more is heard of it.

Luck Against Him.

An old Washington bartender says that the old statesmen did not gamble for money but they did for drinks. He says "I remember game of cards Clay and Webster and two other men played here one night. They played for the drinks and smells. The men that won drank, and those who were defeated paid for the drinks and were forced to smell of the glasse of their opponents. They started in at 10 o'clock and they played until 2. Luck was against Clay and don't think he won drink dur ing the whole evening"

 Mu dear FTiend-Your kind favor con- taining congratulations on my restoration to health is before me. When we parted thirty months ago little did we imagine that either would be brought near deaths door by dis ease which selects for it's victims those who present an internal field of constltutlonal weakness for its first attack, because you and health-and can claim this to-day, thank God! Why can do so will be told tomorrow, when we meet at your dinner, as you only know that have passed through terrible illness; my delivery from death being due to the wonderful discovery in medical science, made by a man who to-day stands ID the front rank of his fellow workers-unequaled by any in my own opinion. That l, who heretofore have ever been the most orthodox believer in the old school of medicine, it's application and results, should thus recant ill favor of that which is sneered at by old practitioners, may startle you, but 'seelng IS believing" and when I recount the attack made on my old hulk how near l came to lowering my colors, and the final volley which, through the agency above mentioned, gave me victory, you will at least credit me with just cause for sincerity ill my thankful ness and belief. I will also spin my yarn anent my China cruise, and altogether, ex- pect to entertain as well as be entertained by you. With best wishes,
 Sincerely yours,

Marvellous Cure of Stone in the Bladder Large Stones Removed by "Ken-

nedy's Fav rite Remedy"
 From the Pittsffeld [Mdss) Eagle.
 Stone in the Bladderis very dangerous aiE- ment; but many most remarkable cures have of late been wrought by "Kennedys Favorite Reme- dy"-the invention On Dr. Kennedy of Ron dout N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. Mir. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, states in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for l4 years, snd had consulted at different times physi- sians; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January MT. Lawler called on Dr. Ken nedy. Sounding him, the doctor 'sstruek stone" He decided that Mir. Lawler should first try the "Favorte Remedy" so as, if possible, to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable result: Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones I will send them to you." This letter bears date "Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed "Peter Lawler." The stones, which so large as to war rant for !" Kennedy's Favorite Remedy the claim that it is the most successful specific for Stone yet discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession. Incidentally MT. Lawler also states that the " Fay. orite Remedy'' at the same time cured him of stubborn of Rheumatism and it is a fact that in all affections arising out of disorder of the liver urinary organs it is searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one, who will OK anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside rom the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, large proportion of the preclou' metal used, is needed not only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and sup ply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold Is actually needless so far as UTIL- rrY and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND STRENGTH produced at from one third to one half of the usual cost of solid cases. The process is of the most simple nature, as follows: plate of nickle compost tion metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID COLE soldered one on each side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient to admit of al kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling the engraved cases have been carried unti worn perfectly smooth by time and use withou removing the gold.
 THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES SOLID GOLD AND WARRANT ED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

cremation or the Dead Ia Ja an.

AS men and women arc born into this
world, SO sure is it that they shall die;
and as death has that about it that is
mystery unfathomable, it is not strange
that it should be attended with all the
pomp and ceremony tho occasion will
admit of. Tho Japanese have rites pc
culiar to their religious faith that are
observed in consigning their dead to
earth, there to await the unknown that
may be. After death the cadaver is
taken by the friends to the cremating
grounds at evening; it is taken to the
house of the priest attendant upon the
place, who offers prayer for the dead
The body is then cremated, burning all
night. On the following morning tn,
