Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at
Frank Jones Drug Store as their
giving away TO their customers OF so
many free trial bottles Of DIR. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in
this very valuable article from the
fact that il always cures and never
disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asth-
ma, Bronchitis, Group, and all throat
and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by
getting trial bottle free, large size
81. Every bottle warranted.

It also has the property of destroy ing the power of enjoying a cigar, and even masks the bitter taste of quinine Tbe peculiar properties of the plant are dependent upon the presence of an acid, which can be dissolved out by alcohol.

 for Nomination.

@SA
 Ben Jones, chairman of the National Republican Committee, has received letter from Mr. Blaine declining to allow his name to be presented to the Ma tional Republican Convention as candidate for the presidency. The letter was written from Florence. Blaine stated: q am constrained to this decision by considerations entirely personal to myself, but ! cannot make the announcement without giving expression to my deep sense of gratitude to many thousands of my countrymen who have sustained me so long and so cordially" He congratulated the Republican party upon the pros poets which distinguish the open ing of the national contest of 1888, as compared with that of 1884. The letter then refers to the de- feat suffered by the Republican party in 1882, and the small plu- raIity gained by the Democrats iu New York two years later. It states the elections of 1886 and 1887 have demonstrated growing strength in the Republican ranks, and claims the present party has only to maintain its prestige to give to its national candidate every northern state but one. The let ter closes by calling attention to the necessity of having complete harmony and cordial CO operation, on the part of both those who as- pire to lead, and those who are eager to follow.

The extraordinary exbilarating power of ''laughing gas" is we'll known; but similar property has just been discovered in liquid mixture of phosphate of soda and tincture of ergot of rye. While treating female patient with tincture of the ergot of rye for painful affection of the knee, Dr. Luton, of Rheim, discovered that by adding little of the phosphate of soda to the medicine, 1t sent the patient into uncomfortable fits of laughter, which evidently sprang from the merriest ideas. No effect was observed until three quarters of an hour after the dose is taken; and after the intoxica- tion has died away the patient continues in the best of humor for some time. Experiments were then made on number of per sons, but it was found that females were the most susceptible to the influence of the portion. In the case of some men, only giddiness and a slight headache was the result. It is worthy of remark, in this connection, that rye bread in wet seasons is apt to produce a slight exhilaration of the same kind, perhaps because it contains

When the Eighth Vermont regiment
was in Louisiana one Of the officers was
taken very Ill, and left in charge of a
picket post. A woman living near by
urged him to come to her house, as the
climate was malarious. He declined her
hospitality, but before long became SO
much worse that his companions carried
him to the house in almost a dying con-
dition.
hrs. Sparks-this was the good wo-
mans name-perceived his almost des-
perate case, but had no medicines, nor
could any be procured nearer than New
Orleans, ten miles away. What could
she do for this enemy? Her husband
was infirr1, and the few negroes who re-
manned to her were old and decrepit.
Moreover, it was late in the afternoon,
and rain was falling heavily; but some
thing she must do, even though the sick
man was in arms against her govern
ment.
She sent one Of her servants to the
house Of q neighbor, five miles distant,
and this woman, a violent secessionist,
went herself to New Orleans, through a
drenching rain, for the medicine. She
travelled fifteen miles in the storm and
the darkness, and crossed the Mississippi
river twice, and all to save the life of an
enemy.
The officer remained in the house for
six weeks, and was cared for most assid-
uouly. Such deeds are worth recount
ing; they go far TO redeem the horrors Of
war.-Youth's Companion.

/ Divine's Startling Fin,,res.

A good English divine, going to show tie adj.
vantage Of life ike ours in preference to one
like Iethuselah, according to the tradition,
has made some figures that sre startling. He
shows that il one of Noah's boys. after tho
famous flood, had lived TO be 500 years old.
having his first child ct 80 and his last when
40, ard allowing for one addition to his
family each three years, and supposing them
all to live, he could gather about his ample
board at the last Ia sons and daughters
With reasonable degree Of prolific bearing,
his grandchildren would number between
10000 and 1900, and the whole little family
would be the two figures added together.
This estimate is moderate, If mono-any
alone be considered. But under a polyga-
nous system the figures would swell enor-
nously. Some Of the consequences possible
under such state Of affairs are appalling.

BLOWING Up Camels.

Moorish traders in camels seem to be
no more honest than Yankee traders in
horses have the reputation of being. The
author of Among the Arabs describes
as follows one Of their tricks, which, ac-
cording to his account, only an expert is
likely to detect. On one OCCASION, while
in an Arab village, he declares his inten-
ton OF buying q young camel. No sooner
had his desire become known than at
least twenty canels were brought for his
inspection. They were all fine looking
animals, in excellent condition, APP
parently. In fact, the only fault our
Frenchman could perceive was that they
were too fat. After proper amount of
elaboration and bargaining, he selected
the one which appeared to be the leanest,
and paid the price agreed upon. The
next morning, when he went to look at
his fat camel he found living skeleton,
on whose almost feshless bones the skin
hung in large folds, and whose best de-
velopment was about the joints.
The method by which the oamels are
suddenly "fattened" for the market is
thus described: An incision about an
inch in length Is made in each ear be-
tween the skin and the flesh. Into this a
small tube is fitted and secured by silk
cord. There it remains, hidden from the
observation of all but the initiated and
ready for use at any moment. When a
merchant who is not acquainted with the
blowing up trick comes to buy camel
the dealer takes two tubes, each yard
long, and inserting one end of each in the
small tubes just described, through the
ether ends two Arabs blow with all their
might, until the animal has attained the
requisite degree Of plumpness. The IN
fiating tubes are then withdrawn, and
the air is prevented from escaping
by means Of cork smeared with pitch.
The poor animal now becomes, appar-
emily, quite lively and frisky, trying to
throw itself on the ground, or to press
against the wall or a tree, or whatever
other object may be at hand, SO as to get
rid Of the wind. Sometimes it manages
to elude the vigilance Of the Arab, and if
the cork is not very securely fastened the
wind escapes with a whistle like that of
a steam engine and the fine looking beast
suddenly apses.-Springfeld Repub-
lican.

The heaving, weaving hustle
That the maid Of fashion wears!
How it quaps and quakes and quivers,
How it oscillates and shiveTs,

When in public it appears!

With me you Will agree
That this absurd Illusion
Isa snare and delusion,
And conducive to confusion
