Your Liver?

healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con-
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-
gested, poisoning the
blood; frequent headache
ensues a feeling of lassi-
tude, dependency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de-
ranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been tho
means Of restoring moro
people to health and
happiness by giving them
a healthy Liver than any
agency known on earth.
1t acts with extraor-
binary power and efficacy.
NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTING
AS general family remedy for Dyspepsia,
Torpid Liver, Constipation, etc, hardly
ever use anything else, and have never
been disappointed in the effect produced
It seems to he almost n perfect cure for all
diseases of the stomach and Bowels.

fectly still, though surrounded by more
than a dozen hungry snakes. There
was circle of fierce heads and glaring
eyes around him, and he would not
move. The circle narrowed until the
protruding tongues almost touched him,
yet he was immovable. Just then I was
called away for over an half an hour,
but, on returning found the toad in
grave dignity, still holding the fort by

Some years since, In certain town
tout West" it became necessary in a
surgical case than an amputation of q
limb should be made. The regular"
doctors in the case nowadays are great
sticklers for the observance of the code
of ethics, and this code discountenances
advertising in all its forms. All the
same, the surgeon in the smaller places
rarely performs even the most trivial
operation without accidentally dropping
word or two in the hearing of the local
reporter, and should the paper chance
to say that tom Jones fooled with a
buzz saw, DIR. Pllbox dressed the wound,
and Jones is doing as we'll as could be
expected under the doctors skillful
treatment" why, of course, the doctor
can't help that. He is very much an
noyed, to be sure, but the thing is done.
Attic amputation above mentioned were
present doctors A B G and d, and the
enterprising newsgatherer for the
'Weekly Hustler" found the opera
ton veritable bonanza for his paper,
and wrote it up in grand style. Unfor-
tnnately he omitted the name of old DR..
d from his account, and the old doctor,
upon meeting him a few days later,
turned him over" in great shape for
his alleged discourtesy. The newspa-
per man made every apology. and
promised faithfully to make amends in
the Hustler" of the week following,
and this is the way in which he did it !:
SIN our account of the amputation in
last weeks Issue we inadvertently omit
ted the name of DR.. d. We have since
been informed that the doctor was one
of the leading surgeons in the case, and
assisted very materially in the opera
ton. The patient died last night at
O'Clock"

From the Albany Journal.

In the old days before the telegraph a
man in Greenbush, N. Y, who was in
fatuated with lottery policy as it was
then played, hit on plan of beating
the game" The returns of drawings
were then received in New York some
hours in advance of the Albany agents
receipt of them, and it occurred to him
to try heading off the mail with carrier
pigeons. So, very secretly he secured a
couple of pair of homers, and when the
time for the next drawing approached
shipped them to New York. A
relative in New York secured the draw
ing as it arrived, and fastening slip
containing it properly secured about
each pigeons neck, let them loose.
They arrived in Albany far IN advance
of the mail, and the Greenbush man in
vesting heavily on the numbers thus re-
ceived nearly bankrupted the policy
men on his first essay. He worked it
more gradually thereafter, but they
finally rlmhled, and placing upon him
the soubriquet of Il fly" he retained it
to his death. His winnings were at
least 100000.

A Big Imagination.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch


A lady boarded car PIP. of the Frank
lin Avenue line, recently, and sat di-
rectly opposite the stove. A gentleman
was with her. After riding block she
told her escort that the heat of the car
was unbearable and at her suggestion,
they moved nearer to the door. "A
passenger soon got on anu the conductor
coming in to collect his fare she asked
him to open ventilator. He did so
politely. Soon the lady wrapped on
the door with her umbrella.
"Please turn the danper in the
stove?" said she.
Certainly, madam" said the con-
ductor, and the damper was turned.
In few minutes the lady began fam
ming herself vigorously with a hymn
book, and remarked that Conductors
di0n' tseem to have any Judgment about
heating cars"
At this juncture the conductor re-en-
tered the car for another fare and the
lady said with asperity:
Conductor, [ wish you would leave
that door open. The heat from that
stove is positively depressing"
Il am sorry to say so, madame, but
there has been no fire in that stove to-
day." said the conductor, and the Their
mometer instantly fell twenty degrees.

Flagler at ST. Augustine.

Curious stories come from the Ponce
de Leon Hotel, in st. Augustine. Mr..
amounts to nearly $1,000, COO. Early in
January there were only twelve guests
in the hotel. Mr.. Flagler. however,
does not seem discouraged. He has just
bought tie railroad running from St.
Augustine to Palatka and from st. Au-
gustine to Jacksonville. Last Sunday
he changed both of these to broad
gauge roads, and shortened the sched-
ule more tnan one.half He is going to
build bridge over the St. Johns, so
that yestibule trains can run into St.
Augustine from New York without
transfer He is building an opera house
in st. Augustine at cost of $500, 900, a
magnificent church and union depot
that will cost about 100000.

The Tenor's Sweet Revenge.
from Texas siftinps.

From Texas Siftings.
He was tenor singer, noted for the
sweetness of his voice, and consequent-
ly favorite with the public. This was
gratifying to him, but encores grew tire
some after time, and he began to con-
slider it unfair that he should be COM
PEELED to perform double work every
night that ne sang. He thought these
things over until be waxec wroth.
One day, while promenading the
principal street of the city where he
was singing. he thought be would do y
little encoring himself, and see how it
would work. He stepped into hat
store, found the proprietor, whom he
recognized as patron of the opera,
and asked him the price of a silk hat.
'sSeven dollars" was the reply.
The tenor selected one and paid for
it, and then he shouted Encore !"
"What do you mean p asked the
proprietor in amazement.
Repeat the hat" said the tenor.
Certainly, SIR" said the proprietor,
handing down another, an exact dupli-
cate.
The man with a voice picked them
both UP and started for the door.
Hold on there ~ cried the halter,
"you haven't paid for that other hat"

tenor.

Eyes, was there; but [ don't see
what that has to do with your getting a

Listen. You paid to hear the opera

Certainly 1 did. I'm no deadhead.

Don't call them yet You didn't pay
to hear that opera sung twice, did you ?'
How absurd ! Certainly not. What

Nearly every aria that | sang was re-
quired to repeat, and ii / am not mis-

you were getting two hats-and this caps
the climax-for the price of one, see ?'
The halter did see, and he wanted to

set the matter even, but he declined it,

Wonderful Crabs.
From the Pbiladelpbia Time,

From the Philadelphia Times.
Of the crab family, one of the largest
and most remarkable specimens is to be
found in Japan, where it is highly
esteemed as an article of food. Mr.
Holder tells us about it. It's chief claws
are each i've feet in length, measuring
from ten to twelve feet between the
nippers, and presenting an astonishing
spectacle when entangled in the nets
and hauled aboard the boats. The
body is almost triangular and compare
lively small. They have the remarkable
habit of leaving the water at night and
crawling up the shores of the coast,
presumably to feed, and there they are
sought by the crab hunters. A story is
told of party of fishermen who had
camped out on the river bank, and one
of whom aroused the others in the
night by yells and screams. Running
to the spot they found that one of these
monster crabs, in wandering over the
flats, accidentally crawled over the
PROSTATE fisherman. He awoke with
it would be: hard to tell whether the
man or the crab was the more terrified
But the robber crab of the Indian
Ocean surpasses even the Japanese crab
in strength. 1t is called the palm crab,
because it lives in the cocoanut groves,
making it's nest in hole under the tree.
It subsists upon the fruit, tearing the
husk from the nuts with its claws and
carrying - to its bed as lining. The
Malays often pillage the crabs nests
and get the shreds Of husk to calk their
vessels or for the manufacture of mats and
other articles. These crabs are very IL
telligent, for they always open the end
of the nut that contains the eye spots
i
opening is made. Sometimes one will
secure so firm hold upon a nut with
its large claw that it can dash it against
rock until the shell is broken.

sHere lyeth'' somebody-name unknown,
For the creeping moss halt covers the stone.
sShe died',-bend down, you can read the date
ain seventeen hundred and eighty eight"
That was q hundred years ago,
And of Somebody what do we know?
Somebody" once had place in life.
Played her part in its peace and strife,
Had her share in its hopes and fears,
And tasted love with its smiles and tears.
But she caretb little, methinks. to-day,
If the long past hours were of gold or gray.
Some body died-we know not how;
1t matters little to Somebody now
LII dear ones bent DER her dying bed,
Or lone and triendless her spirit fed,
Som ebodys sleep is calm and still
In the little kirkyard below the hill.
The sun has shown, and the winds have walled,
The roses above her glowed and paied.
And the dewdrops glitlered like angels tears,
Night and morn for hundred years;
and she heeds not question, or praise or blame,
And God remembers Somebody's name
