Cure Of Stammering.

Many years ago a famous professor
came to our town and announced that he
could 'cure the worst case of suffering
in ten minutes without a surgical opera.
ton" A friend of mine was an inveter.
ate stammerer, and | advised him to call
upon the wonderful magician. He called,
was convinced by the testimonials ex-
hibited, struck up bargain, paid the
fifty dollars, and soon called at my Office
talking as straight as a railroad track.
was astonished, and asked my friend
by what miracle he had been so suddenly
relieved of his lifelong trouble. lie
informed me that he had made solemn
pledge not to reveal the process Of cure.
knew two other bad cases-ladies;
and, calling upon them, reported what
had come to pass.
They were soon at the professors
rooms, came away elated, raised the
hundred dollars, paid the cash, and in
half an hour were ready, had the ques-
ton been popped, to say eyes, without
hesitating.
/ was sooD made acquainted with
Ieveral other cures quite as remarkable,
and resolved to turn on my sharpest wits
and wait upon the wonderful magacian.
He seemed an honest man, and in two
days had made up my mind to pay him
large fee and learn the strange art,
with the privilege of using it TO cure
whomsoever l could. Those who had
been cured by the professor were sol
emily bound not to reveal the secret to
any one, but my contract gave me the
privilege of using the knowledge as
| pleased. And now l propose to
give my readers simple art which
has enabled me to make happy many
lnhappy stammerers. In my own
hands it has often failed, but in three
tourths of the cases which | have
treated, the cure has been complete.
The secret is this: The stammerer is
made to mark the time of his speech,
just as it is ordinarily done in singing.
He is at first to beat on every syllable.
He begins by reading one of David's
Psalms, striking the finger on the knee
1t every word. You can beat time by
striking the finger on the knee, by sim
ply hitting the thumb against the fore
finger or by moving the large toe in th
boot.
doubt if the worst case of suffering
can continue long if the victim will read
IN hour every day with thorough prac
tice o. this art. take great pleasure iD
publishing it to the world Dio LeWis.

A German writer estimates the number
of blind persons in the world at about
1000, 900. This is not mere guess,
but is based on accurate statistics, which
show that, on the average, there is one
blind porsoa among every 1,4OO; hence,
as this planet has about 1,400, 900. 900
inhabitants, this would make /, 900, 900
blind folks. The European countries
differ somewhat in the proportion of
blind inhabitants. In Austria one per-
son is blind of every 1885; in Sweden,
of every AIS; in France, of 1,191; in
Prussia, of lii; in England, of 1,O37.
Then follow with still larger percentage
Russia, Norway and FINLAND. The
largest number of blind persons is to be
found iu Egypt. At Cairo one person
among twenty is blind, and DR.. FRANKIE,
of Vienna, once encountered in one morn
ing rambe almost !, 900 blind men and
women. Many are also found in China
aud Japan. Germany has the largest
number of asylums for the blind,
namely, thirty-fve; then follows Eng
land with twenty-six, France thirteen,
Austria Hungary ten, Italy nine, Belgium
six, etc. America, Asia and Africa to-
gether have only six asylums.

A Cansa for ReinIcInp.

CNcISNATI.-The Tmes-SfaT says: ga
remarkable discovery made last winter is
attracting widespread interest. As it in
wolves a most important question--that of
public health-it is being discussed by emf
nent physicians and public men. 1t is
shown conclusively that throat and lung
troubles can be cured without resorting to
the use of morphia or opium-espeeially
dangerous in the case of children, as ar
resting development and poisoning the sys-
tenn. The Governor of Maryland and
all the officials of that state endorse the
remedy; the state chemist of Delaware pro-
nounces it the purest and most effective,
and hospitals and charitable institutions in
Philadelphia and other cities use it with
remarkable results. The remedy, which is
only twenty-five cents a bottle, is Red Star
Cough Cure. 1t is purely vegetable; it
contains no poison or narcotics, and is a
positive cure"

JumDO's EARLY Life.

The giant elephant was captured By a
party of Arabs when calf presumably
about two years old, and by them carried
on camels across the desert to Zanzibar.
At this time he was small animal,
showing no points of difference from
other elephants, and giving no signs of
the tremendous proportions into which
he was to develop The Arabs sold the
young elephant to an agent of the Jardin
DIES Plantes of Paris for triAing sum,
and the future monarch of his race was
transferred to France. Here he remained
for time, attracting no more attention
than the other animals in the garden,
until finally, an exchange of a number of
specimens was made between the Jardin
DIES Plantes and the geological garden in
London. Jumbo was one of the animals
sent from Paris, and was turned over to
keeper Scott, who has ever since at
teaded him. Scott has picture of
Jumbo taken at this time, with the
keeper standing by his side, aud this
shows that the keeper was then head
taller than his charge. Nobody
dreamed at this time of the immense
height to which Jumbo would attain,
and the beast was looked upon with
languid interest by the frequenters of
the gardens, as were the other live curl
osities The elephant was always kind
and gentle, and he gradually became q
great favorite with the children, who
we're never tired of riding ON his back,
and he in turn seemed to take naturally
to the little ones, and never to weary Of
rocking them on his back. In the mean
time, however, he was growing rapidly,
and his keeper and the directors of the
gardens soon found that he was getting
much larger than the other elephants.
He continued to expand until he had
reached Il height of about eleven feet,
and the other animals of his species ap-
peared like liliputians beside him. He
continued tractable, however, and his
fondness for children seemed rather to
increase than diminish with his rapid
growth He was the great feature OF
the gardens, and the queen herself did
not scorn to pay him many royal visit.
Jumbo's measurement after death was
circumference of forearm, five feet six
inches around front foot, five feet six
inches; twice around his foot is about
his height, viz. eleven feet; length Of
trunk seven feet -four inches; around
his tusk, one foot three and hall
aches; length of forcltg, six feet.

The size of elephants is commonly
over-estimated. Their stature is almost
always exaggerated in those countries
where they are found wild. Even Euro
pean travellers of scientific training have
made notable mistakes in this respect.
African elephants which Major Denham,
one of the early explorers, supposed to
be sixteen feet high proved to be less
than ten feet when killed. In Ceylon
the native elephant, which was formerly
thought to be larger than the African
animal, is rarely taller than nine feet;
and Sir Emerson Tennent says the largest
specimens on that island do not average
more than eight feet. Out of 1,100
elephants from which the talest were
selected and measured with care on one
occasion in India, there was not one
whose height equaled eleven feet.
