DR.. Winiersmih. Sir-I 1aive o rule have
observed for many years, the val ue OF your
remedy prompting me TO say, in reply e
your request, what l krow o.. your Chill
Cure. The private assurances Of It's shcacy
/ had. aud tho good results Of its effects l
had observed on Mr.. r. W. Meredith, who,-
for more than fifteen years, had been fore
man OF my office, induced ne to test It IN
my family. The results have been entirely
satisfactory. The first care was Of two
years standing, in which ! believe every
known remedy had been tiled with tempo
rary reliet-the chills returning periodlcaily
aud with seemingly iocrened severity.
Your euro broke them at once and there mas
been no recurrence of them for more thar
Fix months. The other case was OF mnder
form, and yielded more readily TO o'ner
remedies; but the chiIls would return at IN
tervals until your medicine was used. since
which time, now several months, they have
| entirely disappeared. From the OppOrtu-
nifty have had to Judge, do not hesitate to
express my belief that your Chill Cure IS

1.-THE Mighty Dollar"

1.-THE Mighty Dollar" is probably the
most successful play, financially speak
ing, in which the Florences have APP
peared. 1t came to be written in the
following manner: Mrs. Florence, while
abroad, was constantly amused at the
French phrases which good natured and
oftentimes wealthy but uneducated
American women made use of with
such an amo,,nt OF misapplication and
INSTRUMENTATION as to create the high
est amusement at their expense. She
thought that it would be first rate idea
to transfer one of these persons from the
stage of life to the mimic stage. She
spoke to her husband about it and he
agreed with her views. He also had
had q character in his mind for long
time-that of good humored but not
overscrupulous lawmaker of the great
west They went to Ben Woolf, clever
journalist, and had him write play TO
order with these two characters as the
prominent features. Woolf did as di-
rected, and the mighty Dollar was
the result At first it was named the
almighty Dollar" but the American
public which can tamcly submit to In
gersoll's blasphemies, could not submit
to the use of the word Almighty"
though Washington Irving, one of the
chastest of American writers, had given
this very name to the dollar Thus j,
was the play was changed from the "Al.
mighty to the Mighty Dollar" In
the characters of Bardwell Slote and
Mrs Cen Giliiory, Florence and Mrs.
Florence have appeared over 1900 times.

Seventeen, sir, said Elsie in low
voice.
And am seven-and-thirty!n said Mr..
Raven slowly. ..Do seem like a very
old man in your eyes, Elsie?n
She shook her head, and then, en-
| boldened by the fact that Uncle JOS

sey was drawing water at the well, she
added:

the hero just like you. won't call him
Raven, lest people should find out; but
Ravenburn, or Belraven. or some such
name. You won't mind. sir, will youp"
MIR. Raven smiled a strange, serious
smile.
Elsie" said he, would you like to
come and live at the Manor Housep"
Elsie's dusk face frightened.
''Oh, SO muchr' she cried. '.But Mrs
Perkins don't want me; she says I'm too
tlighty and too young.
Elsie, you misunderstood me-" said
MIR. Raven, with another smile. II don't
mean as Mrs. Perkins assistant mean
as my wife.
A sudden crimson flooded Elsie s
face, neck and throat All of sudden
the scales seemed to fall from her eyes;
| the world stood before her in its true
colors. She was a maiden out of the
pages of romance. Robert Raven was

yourself to love me? For l love you
with all my heart"
And she cried. ..Oh. yes! Oh, yesr'
and laid her flushed face across on his
shoulder, and wept and smiled in turns.
She had entered the room child; she
went out woman, leaning on her
lovers arm. Even Uncle Joseph no
ticed the change, and Aunt Betsey
vaguely wondered what had come to
.'our Elsie
SO Elsie's problem was solved. She
went to be lady at the Manor House, to

that they had been so blind

Natural Gas in Dwellings.

The necessary danger attending the
use OF natural gas may not be greater
than that encountered in places where
the manufactured article is commonly
employed for purposes of light and fuel.
but it is certain that since il was utilized
in western Pennsylvania and southwest
ern New York more accidents have re-
suited than can be charged up to artifi-
cial gas the world over. Two of the
most serious of these casualties have
taken place in Pittsburg, where not long
ago main exploded, wrecking several
buildings and killing four or five people,
and where, within week. the explosion
of another pipe has resulted in the de-
struction of a steamboat and the loss of
one life
Ii natural gas may be utilized in the
homes and the business of the people
with safety very important problem
will have been solved. Where so en-
ployed for domestic purposes the econ
omy of the household has been revolu-
tionized. The pipes are run into ordi-
nary cooking and heating stoves, as
well as CRATES, and, besides saving the
labor of carrying in coal and removing
ashes, as well as the cleaning and dust
ing made imperative under the old sys-
tenn, the new device obviatcs the neces-
sity of kindling fires and of watching
them, and at the same time reduces the
expense on account of the fuel and light
by more than one-half When fire is
wanted in every room in the house
match for each room win supply the de-
mand. Ii the fire becomes too strong it
may be checked by turning lever, and
on the other hand by similarly easy
movement every stove in the house may
be made red hot at moments notice.
The only drawback to all this is the
reflection that ones house is connected
by direct pipes with the Internal regions,
with the devil knows who in charge of
the generating process. If all goes well
below the little flames so successfully in
troduced in the houses above will be ex-
ceedingly enjoyable, but in the event of
disturbances in the depths, or of some
slight defect in the means employed to
control the supply, there is no telling
what might become of the dwellings and
their inmates. Ii the natural gas wells
can be controlled and regulated as sue
cessfully as the reservoirs of the artificial
article are, there appears to be no ex-
cuse for the dreadful explosions which
have taken place from time to time. On
the other hand, if these explosions are to
be set down as unavoidable, the natural
gas enterprise becomes dangerous one,
not only to the people who avail them
selves of its seeming conyeniences, but
to the public at large, which may be
blown to kingdom come at any time
when it least expects it.
