an epoch in the life of an individual.
Such remarkable event is treasured il,

much is heard in praise of Electric Bit

will surely find relief by the use of Flee

False Mes siahs.

The man out West who is pretend

got into trouble on that account, is
notthe first of his kinl. There have
been at least three other claimants
Messiahship within the past few
years. One Of them appeared in
Australia, where he met with poor
success. Another of them. who APP
peared In Southern Russia, was a
woman named Gabacrewicz, who
pretend to perform miracles, and
created a prodigious sensation
among the peasantry, until the
government sent her to prison.
Still another. who appeared in
Arabia among the Bedouing, some
of whom believed in him. was a Jew,
who came forth from the desert,
where he had spent many years in
Notifying the flesh, and who was a
wonder worker I'm til found out. Our
Western pretender is not a novelty
in his line. Other Messiahs of the
kind have turned up now and then
in many countries during the past
two thousand years. Sun

Whatever goes into this sack he can
retain there as long as hepleases and
then bring up again unframed. In
this way he can swallow coins, peb-
bles, or any small trifes, and regain
possession of them again at will. He
declares that this power has been of
great use to him at times when he
was the bearer of important secret
dispatches through hostile coun-
try. He enclosed them in a round
silver case that ne had made, swal-
lowed them whenever necessary, and
defed his searchers. He has been
examined by Well-known doctors,
who say that this internal arrange
ment of his is one of the most re-
markable freaks of nature ever
known. He has had offers of large
sums if he would will his body to
some medical institute when he died.
He says thathe discovered the peculi-
arity about his stomach when a boy,
by swallowing pebbles and bringing
them up again to the admiring awe
of his companions.
