me DOCTOR was angry.

A certain learned doctor who lives in
Peoria. like the rest of his SOOTHING and
scientific brothers, has no more use for
these faith cure people than pig has
for soap and towels. He is partly deaf,
and as joke he recently went to a wo-
man who cured by faith. cit is not YOU
that are deaf" began the oracle, "it is
your ears" This almost staggered the
doctor. Il can make you hear" as
her next confident announcement. She
made the usual passes and then told
him to put his watch to his ear and find
out if he did not hear it tick. He had
not been able for years to hear his
watch tick, but he pulled his watch out
and as the fob was short he leaned over
and put 1t to his ear. Sure enough he
could hear it. 1t WAS marvellous, but it
was true. When he got home wonder
ing much and humble he took his watch
out and found that he could not hear.
But when he bent over he could hear it
ticking. Evidently the rush of blood to
the head when in that position quick
ened the organs in his ears. 1t was
simple enough, and no faith cure in it
at all. The next day he saw the faith
curer again, and told her she had cured
him, but he had to stand on his head
to hear. well, you look better on
your head than in any other position, T"
WAS her ungracious answer. And he
was ungallant enough to reply that he
would look better standing on his head
than she would.

A Race of Dwarfs.


One of the most striking things to be
met with in the earlier pages OF Emin
Pasha's journal is a reference to re-
port which is brought to him between
Lado and Dufile, on the Upper Nile,
that race of dwarfs iuhabit mountain
caves to the west of Beden. They were
said to be only 40 inches high, of
brown co.or and of great agility, to eat
white ants and roots, and to shoot with
very small arrows which are poisoned
and very difficult to extract. The pig
mics he was inclined to regard rs the
remainder of dwarf population which
ages ago spread itself over Central
Africa. Four years later he himself
comes upon some specimens of the
Aka, pigmv people, divided into
numerous small tribes, who lead a
nomadic life in the Monbuttu country.
One of these Aka "had reddish but
rather dark skin probably dirt, was
very prognathous, rather swagbelied,
but exceedingly nimble. His height
was feet inches. His whole body was
covered by thick stiff hair, almost like
felt, which was especially thick on the
breast" A girl IA years of age meas
ured feet 1 inch in height. These peo-
pie are said to be very expert hunters,
bnt also very vindictive, 30 that the
neighboring tribes are glad to let them
have all they want for maintenance in
return for skins and feathers, the prod
ucts of the chase, which they prose
cute with bows and arrows alone.

How Lincoln Won Men Over,
From the Boston Journal.

tr0m the Boston Journal.
Just after defeat in the field during
the civil war the governors of several
northern states consulted and decided
that the president must change his
plans. They sent the Hon. Nathan +.
Dickson as their representative to i'm
press their decision upon the presi-
dent, who was personally acquainted
with his caller, most cordial greet
ing. well, Dickson" said Lincoln,
what can | do Ior you?" Dickson ex-
planned; a change of plan was wanted.
looking out from under the shading
hand that rested on his forehead, Abe,
with a most friendly glance at his Wis
itor, responded with unexpected cor
dlality and frankness: Dickson, you
are a friend of mine and | would like to
please you. am president and have the
highest power. | can do what / please,
| am president" Several times he re-
peated this declaration in varying words.
impressing the responsibility of his of
fee upon his nearer, and then con-
tinued: dickson, you go home, think
1t over, and come to me tomorrow and
tell me what to do"
Dickson went home; he thought it
Overland he didn't come near the
president for six weeks. Then he acct
dentally met him at a reception. Lin
coins long arm reached out from the
crowd and grasping his buttonhole,
drew him to his side. 'Dickson," he
said, and there was sly twinkle in his
eye as he spoke, "you didn't come round
to tell me what to do. Why not?" 1t
may be added that Mr.. Dickson ever
aiterward maintained that Abe Lincoln
was the greatest man America pos
sessed. And the northern governors,
by the shrewd absence of affront or re-
fusal to accept any view they might
protfer, were held in friendly allegiance
to the chleftain of the time.

The Ways of the Baggage Thief.
New York cor. Rochester Democrat.


Now is the baggage thieves harvest
and the specially has two lays, pursued
by distinct classes. The first is the
depot grabber" who loiters around the
travellers sitting room and carrie off any
satchel or parcel which may be left by
travellers. Some very good hauls are
made in this way, but holder method
is found in "trunk-snatching," which is
done in the following manner: The
thief purchases ticket to some section
of at least an hours distance, and this
gives him entrance to the place where
the baggage car is unloaded. He
watches his opportunity, and amid the
confusion cuts off the check strap from
some attractive trunk. Then he claims
the latter as his own baggage which he
has just brought with him, and he has
it rechecked to suit himself. These
depredations have been very extensive
and are still continued. In one,instance
the Peoples Line paid 81, 500 to a trav-
eler for a trunk taken in this manner
and containing valuables to the ABOVE
amount. Other methods equally in
genious are practiced, and this season
will no doubt develop something origi-
nal in this line.

A C0mmon-Sense Remedy.

In the matter of curatiyes what you
want is something that will do its work
while you continue to do yours-a remedy
that will give you no inconvenience nor
interfere with your business. Such a
remedy is ALLCoCK'R Porous PLAs-
TIERS. These plasters are purely vege-
table and absolutely harmless. They re-
quire no change of diet, and are not affect
ed by wet or cold. Their action does ut
interfere with labor or business; you can
toll and yet be cured while hard at work.
They are SO pure that the youngest, the
0, lest, the most delicate person of either
s can use them with great benefit.
Beware of limitations, and do not be de-
ceived by misrepresentation.
Ask for ALLCoCR's, and let no explana-
ton or solicitation induce you to accept a
substitute.

The Force of Habit illustrated.

man of a Tribune reporter yesterday.
YES"
Those fellows belong TO the regular
army and if you viii observe me closely
I'll give you good illustration of the
force of habit and results of strict dis
cipline. You notice that they keep per-
feet step and walk erect, as though in
the ranks. Now watch them"
When the two soldiers arrived OPP
posite the speaker, he suddenly said in
brisk, sharp tone:
BY the left flank, march -
In an instant the two men turned to
the left, and had taken several steps
toward the gutter before they were
aware Of it. A loud laugh resulted, and
the two confused-lookinr defenders of
the nation increased then pace without

INDIAN SUMMER.
BY DORA READ GoopALy.

As frosty Age renews the early fire
Whose eager flame in hasty warmth appears
And brings az ain across the shadow years
The vanished dreams that kindle and insnire,
As time repeats the hour of young desire
In smoother laughter and more tranquil tears
And childish pleasures mixed with needles
fears
Stir through the pulses of the withered sire
60 when November, sharp with frost and sleet
And moaning winds about the rocky height
Has reaped the shining forest to his hand
The charm of spring returns in mellower hear
To veil the leafiess hills with purple light
And brood In peace above the naked lano.
