Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indiyi-
dual. Such a remarkable event is treas
ured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that SO much is heard i'll praise of
Electric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health, to the
use of the Great Alternative and Tonic.

MIR. Bancroft's Man Friday.
From America.

E1Om hOIlG
He was born in the last year of the
eighteenth century, October 3, 1900.
Herman Blaatz, his man Friday, is de-
termined that his master shall live till
1901, thus spanning part of three cen
turtles, fit career for the author of Ban
croit's History. Hermann is a familiar
figure to all Washington and all New
port. He is autocrat Of the Bancroft
front door and ante-chamber. Poor
luck to those who displease Hermann
it they expect aught of the veteran his
torian. The stalwart factotum has been
known to say to people of high official
dignity: "Mrs. Bancroft is in, but she
cannot see you. She don't car to see
you, and you don't really want to
see her. so you're suited on both
sides (auf beiden Seften.)" His late
mistress was extremely amused to have
his %jocular remark repeated to her by
an intimate friend to whom the out
spoken and over-taithful door-keeper
had refused admission.
Soon after the death of Mr.. Corcoran
his body-servant began to look around
for a place. Meeting a prominent Off
cial in the Department of Justice, who
had been an intimate friend of the phil
anthropist, this man asked for an ap-
pointment of some kind. The official,
after some reflection, said: 81 can only
think OF one vacancy just now in our de-
partment of government, that is the
chief justiceship." "Oh, sir !" replied
the applicant, 81 had not thought of
that, but since you are SO kind as to sug.
gest 1t, please bear me in mind"

Living for Centuriesin a Solid Rock
From the Il. Louis Globe Democrat.

Living for Centuriesin a Solid Rock.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The dislodgement of live bats and
toads from solid limestone or coal seems
to have so often occurred as to need no
more proof OF the fact. The possibility
of a suspension Of animation for great
periods of time is certainly possible in
the case of some creatures. Recently a
live bat was dug out in Romney, w. Va,
by men quarrying rock. TIE hole in
the stone was only large enough for the
bats body. A case occurred at Barton,
Md, when the superintendent of the
mines had a plaster cast taken
of the cavity. The bat was found one
mile from the mouth of The mine, and
200 ieet from the surface above. Those
who have been in caves and witnessed
the enormous congregation of bats will
not wonder that they should become
imbedded at times; but that they should
retain vitality for year and ages is the
miracle. 1t now remains for man to
find out if this power of the lower crea.
lures is totally lost to those Of a higher
organic and functional rank.

The Loving Memory of Dogs.

Il sAS
The late Mr.. Eyre, a clergyman, left a
dog, which was very much attached to
him at the country-house of a friend
while he left England for a long s%oiourn
abroad. After two years Mr.. Eyre re-
turned, arriving at his friends house
late last night, and retiring without hav-
ing the dog called.
Next morning Mr.. Eyre was awakened
by the dog bursting into his bedroom
and leaping upon him with the widest
demonstration of delight.
Chow on earth did you know [ had
arrived? ?" asked the gentleman of the
servant, who brought hot water.
ooh, sir" the man replied, lit is the
most curious thing AS was cleaning
your boots. the dog recognized them
and became excited beyond measule e,
and I have not been able to quiet him
until he saw where | was carrying them.
and rushed up along with me to your
door,"
A correspondent of the same English
paper relates that he rave away, at a
year old, a dog which he was unable to
keep in his London home. After eight
years the dog was returned to its first
owner.
"The dog met me- says the CORE
spondent, lat first as q stranger, and
then, with little animated shifts of in
curry, going round and round me. | re-
manned still for a few moments while
she became more and more excited. At
last | stopped and patted her, and called
her by her name, Dee
con hearing my voice the Door beast
gave what / can only describe as a
scream of rapture, and leaped into my
arms. From that moment she attached
herself to me as if she had never left
me, and with the tenderest DEVOTION"
