Great Feats or Memory.

H
Idiots have been known whose men,
DRY for names and words was so reten-
tive that they could initiate q sermon
verbatim, and indicate where the
preacher blew his nose and coughed
while delivering it.
Cardinal Mezzofanti, the linguist,
who is said to have known q hundred
languages, declared that he never for
got . word he once learned. To q
friend who had congratulated Leyden
on his remarkable memory, he replied
that he often found it Q source of great
inconvenience. On the friend express
ing surprise, he explained that he had
often wished to recollect . particular
expression in something he had read,
but could not do it until he had repeat
ed the whole passage from the begin
ming to the expression he desired to re-
call.
An English clergyman mentions a
man who could remember the day of the
burial of every person who had died in
the parish during thirty-five years, and
could also repeat the name and age OF
each deceased person, and the names
of the mourners ct the funeral, but so
weak was he intellectually that he could
not be trusted to feed himself.

HAS HE ABOLISHED DEATH,

DR.. Brown-sequard Chains 10 Have Dis
covered the Elixir or Life.
The medical world is excited by the
statement Of DR.. Brown-Sequard,
the great French specialist in nervous
diseases, who declared before the Bio
logical Society Of Paris, Of which he is
the president, that after twenty wears
Of experimenting he had discovered .
true elixir Of life, a substance that
would r~ejnvenate the old and make
strong the feeble. He contsnded that
If the living cells OF q young and yipor-
GUS being could be injected into an
other where the vital spark was low
his organism must vbrate in unison
with the fresh life. Many years q
the doctor advanced views Of the same
character in q lecture before tho medi-
cal faculty Of Paris and has since been
engaged in experimenting on the sub
iect by treating old and wornout ami.
mails. Finally, as he states, he reached
such perfection that he tried his elixir
upon himself with startling results.
The doctor is now u years old, and
presumably is subject to the weakness
es and infirmities Of age. His revival
izing substance, he explained, was
derived from certain organs or glands
taken, still quivering, from live ami
annals and reduced at once to q pulp in
o mortar with distilled water. From
this compound he extracts an ssence
which he uses as a hypodermic injec-
ton.
The doctor administered to himself a
cubic centimetre with a hypodermic
syringe, just as morphine is injected.
He declares that the day following this
experiment, after two injections of this
vital essence, he felt himself trans
formed. Upto that time half an hours
work standing up in his laboratory ex-
hausted him. Now he declares he can
study three hours uninterruptedly
without the least repose. His appetite
has increased, his sleep is sweet and
refreshing, his stomach performs it's
functions admirably, and his intellec-
tual labor is performed with wonderful
ease and clearness. His feelings also
have been youthful. DR.. brown
Sequard declared that the dose he took
was equal to ten years r~ejuvenation.
Medical men in New York are
skeptical about the doctors alleged
discovery, and smile incredulously
when asked what they think OF it.
While they admit that all things are
possible, they are far from ready to
give credence to the story as it comes
from France, or to accept the state
ment without further proof than has
yet come to hand.-Neu York World.

As mankind ascends the steps Of pro-
gress development and mounts to
grander heights and finer conceptions,
the divinity Of womanhood is realized
more and more.
No man . ever possess q full
rounded character whose life has not
been hallowed by the love Of one pure,
good woman
And there is more strengthening and
support in . pair Of those soft white
arms than there is in braces Of iron and
Orders of steel.
In the daydawn Of youth, when the
kindling vision sweeps the plains of
fntnrity and sees only the blazonry Of
hopeful promise, the Young man weds
some damsel on whose tender cheek the
dews OF morn are still a-tremble. Then
come the years OF toll and labor, the
cares and the worries, the joys and the
disappointments.
Man is prone 70 selfshness, and Is too
near-sighted to observe the hand that
bears the cooling chalice to the fevered
lips. But to the woman he is oil in all.
She has not . thought higher than his
dear head, for that is, to her, Is high as
heaven.
But every day he learns q truer ard
Q unconscious appreciation OF her
devotion. Onthe Threshold Of his home,
be it palace or cottage. he expects 10 see
her waiting to welcome him whom the
tolls OF the day are over.
There Is something in her very
presenco-something soothing and re-
freahing. And her voice is dearer to
him than all the melodies Of the earth
and sea and sky combined. Anticipa.
ting his smallest wishes, she teaches
him to expect AL that il best IN Lille
through her tender hands.

. TypsWriter's LITTLE Romance.

IWNE @tE
A pretty little romance Is rounding
into shape in the Office Of an investment
company in this city. A handsome and
worthy young lady typewriter and .
Young man Of substantial business
standing, Of good habits and pleasant
place sre the parties to IL. An aged
and well-to-do wid0wer, who lives in .
suburban town, had . good deal OF
business with the investment company,
and was favorably taken with the type
writer's letters that he had from the
company. @Tllese things are gotten up
in gocssshape," hesail, and I'd like to
see the one that composes EN-. They
easy to read and are to the point. The
old ~gentleman's son, by way Of q joke,
told his father that = handsome Young
woman prepared the letters, and that
she was the sweetest and most practical
girl on earth. The old man said little,
but began m investigation, and 1t the
Office Of the company was directed to .
roguish young woman, who admitted
the authorship Of the letters. The old
man meant business, and promptly and
pointedly told her that she would win
4 good home and . snug fortune by
marrying him. The young woman
would not make . positive reply,
but to carry on the joke gave
tacit assent to the old boys
suit. About this time word was
conveyed to the son, who had sought to
be funny with his father, that the old
gentleman and the young lady had
really serious intentions. He then set
about to stop it. Going to the young
woman. he said to her, in q matter-oi-
fact way. that he was decidedly opposed
to . marriage between her and his
father; that he had money Of his own,
and would gladly contribute any reason
able sum that she might name rather
than have the marriage take place.
This was the first intimation that the
young woman had that the afEa:r was
growing serious enough to be looked
upon as . certainty by the old gentle
mans family. She frankly confessed
to the solicitous son of the aged swain
that she had only been romancing, and
that no need not fear that she would
take the Office of stepmother to him.
In this interview both were character
istically pleasant and frank, and they
good friends and SO on. The
young man found it necessary to call
again and again, and the young type
writer welcomed him cordially each
time. And so visits have gone on, and
has grown into love between
them, and here is the romance. This
explains why q wealthy young man is
soon to marry . pretty typewriter girl.

NEAT AND cLEAR-HEApEp MEN

Abhor the idea of an attack of catarrh as
they do the bite of poison snake. Yet
this foul and disgusting disease is very
common. In its first stages it causes
very little discomfort and is theref0re
likely to be neglected. 1t is an infiam-
nation of the lining membrane of the
mouth. nose and throat. The glands and
membranes secrete fluid to keep the
mouth, nose and eyes moist. From cold
debility and other causes this fluid is apt
to be too copious, this is catarrh. Flow
ing from the nostrils it causes weak and
watery eyes, irritates the nose, causes
sneezing and finally the coughing up and
expectoratioD of offensive matter. These
droppings will sometimes collect so rap
idly as nearly to choke the person. I'M
less promptly treated catarrh lasts for
years, producing dreadful results. The
ordinary symptoms are pain in the eyes
and in the forehead over the eyes. a dull
heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal
passages. discharges falling into the
throat and a moist offensive breath. On
the first sign of its appearance DIR.
Browns Sarsaparilla should De taken 10
purify the blood, for Catarrh is blood
disease. In chronic cases an immediate
cure must not be expected but this grext
regulator of the blood will, il its use be
continued, afford speedy relief and final
cure. Hay fever, or cold in the head, .
disease of summer chiefly, has similar
symptoms and is cured by this remedy
in the same way. 1t is important to re-
member that catarrh, being neglected,cr
not arrested. gradually creeps down into
the windppe and lungs and may end in
incurable consumption. You may easily
and cheaply prevent this terrible calam-
ity by the use of Browns Sarsaparilla.

The company's gain in assets amounted

ard is S469. 477.sl. The receipts for the
past year amounted to S3I7, 573.77. The

gregate sos, 306.S0. The ratio of assets
to liabilities is very large and the compa-
ny has an enviable reputation for the
sOlidity of its assets and the soundness
of its condition. The company is most
exeellently managed and its increasing
business is due TO the straightforward
and conservative manner in which its af-
fairs are managed. Mr.. I. w. Russell,
