She was in the last stages of consump-
ton, told by physicians that she was
incurable and could live only a short

pounds. On piece Of common wrap
ping paper she read of DR.. Kings New
Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it
helped her, she bought large bottle,
it helped her more, bought another
and grew better fast, continued its use
and is now strong. healthy, rosy. plump,
weighing l40 pounds. For fuller par
ticulars send stamp to w. II. Cole,

Counsellor Andrew Thorpe, after
a three weeks sojourn at Dwight,
Illinois, is home again, hale and
hearty, and in excellent spirits.
His description is amusing of the
incredulousness of the natives up
there in believing the statements
he made of the marvellous richness
of our soil, the cheapness of lands,
the evenness of temperature, and
wonderful healthfulness of the peo-
pie. They cannot realize that we
have real billy pine woods, with
clear running brooks, and that our
swamp" lands are not real swamps,
but high dry soil, very much like
their level fertile prairies.

is but the just reward for his ser
vices to the shippers of the Red

all he can carry, and we predict
TINT his trade will continue to grow,

is a question of only short time
when Capt. Marston viii have to

A Blind Spot i'm Your Eve.

There is spot in your eye that is not
sensitive to light, part of the eye with
which you do not see. The following
directions for finding it are going the
rounds OF the papers, and may be new to
most of our boys and girls: Shut your
left eye, and with your right one look
steadily at the cross below, holding the
paper 10 or II inches from tie eye.
X q
Now move the paper slowly toward the
eye, which must be kept fixed on the
cross. At certain distance the other
figure--the letter O-will suddenly dis
appear; but il you bring the paper rearer
1T Will come again into view. You NAV
not succeed in the experiment on the first
trial; but with little patience you can
hardly fail; and the suddenness with
which the black spot vanishes and reap
pears is very striking.
