Hari.Kari's Death Blow,

The ancient japanese custom of Hari-
Kari, or Happy despatch, asseceived its
death blow. For centuries it has been
usual for any exalted Japanese dignitary,
who may have morally offended his
sovereign to receive polite official inti-
nation to the effect that his suicide will
be pleasing to the authorities; and until
recently, it has been the unyarying prac.
tice for the offenderto acquiesce resigned.

around him, to formally disembowl him
self in their presence. If the culprit
happened to be of an exceptionally high
rank, the sovereign would, as mark CT
honor, send him q jeweled sword, with
which to operate upon himself But all
these things are now of the past. Not
long ago the Mix; do was grievously hurt
by the words and conduct of a high court
official. The man was an old and very
valued servant of the crown, but bis
crime was unpardonable. Next day,
therefore, an officer brought him the fatal
sword, o magnificent weapon, with a
blade inlaid with gold and a handle
ipcrusted with diamonds, together with 8
sympathetic intimstion that his early
death would be regarded es a benefit to
the empire in general and to; the Mikado
in particular. The culprit received the
sword with all proper respect, butas soon
as the emissary had departed the willy

Plain History,

Swift's Specific is simple vegetable
compound, prepared from roots gathered
freshly from the forest, aud contains
nothing of the mineral kingdom, or any
poisonous substance. or any article at all
which comes from the chemists labrato
ry.
The formula of the remedy was OBJ
tained from the Creek Indians in Middle
Georgia, by reliable white men, who had
witnessed the wonderful cures made by
that tribe OF Indians, Of blood diseases.
Dir. Hugh L. Dennard, of Houston couu
ty, Ca, began using Swilt's Specific in
1929, and continued it's use all of his life
and asserted that he had never known it to
fail to cure any case of scrofula, blood
faint, or contagious blood poison. This
testimony has been celebrated every day
for years. The present Company was
formed in 1878, and have since made
known to the world the virtues of Swift's
Specific, and to-day it is sold in every
city, town and country store all over
America, Great Britain, and many other
portions OF the world.

How to Cure Warts aud Other Things.

As he grows older, Mark Twain grows
more philosophical. Having been orDa-
mental heretofore, and highly go, and
having provided the world with the best
of its fun during the last quarter of
century, he now seems to be prepared to
give it good advice, mixed with sundry
recipes.
Recently there has been story going
tho rounds of the newspapers to the effect
that neither warts nor tatto marks could
be removed. This seems to have excited
the impatience of Mr.. Clemens, and he
writes an open letter to the New York
San protesting against the dictum.
He then goes on to say that when he
was small boy be had his share of
warts, though whether they were the
result of handling toad frogs is not stated.
He had the warts, snd that is enough.
He tried various remedies, but-6nally he
drove needle through each excresence,
healed The needle REQ hot, cooked the
warts, and the next day wiped them off
with bis hand. They disappeared with
out leaving scar.
Mr.. Clemens treated tattoo mark i'll
the same way, and succeeded in remov-
ing it 30 effectually that not even little
Jean, his youngest daughter, would sus.
pect that her father had ever placed
himself under the influence Of a drunken
sailor in New Orleans.
This information is worth something
There are great many young people
with warts and great many nice people
with tattoo marks. ALI these can be
removed by Mark Twain's patent
remedy-News and Courier.

One of the ticket agents of the
Michigan Central railroad at GER
tain town in Canada was an airy, ln-
dependent young man who began
work with the idea that he ran the
whole line. "The boys" had numer-
GUS complaints against him, and more
than once he would have caught it
on the ear had he not been fenced in
where he could not be got at. One
evening FIVE or SIX of US happened to
meet there as we came in on cross
roads, and we soon got on to the fact
that the general manager and two or
three other officials of the road were
in the ticket office. We laid our
heads together and put up job. We
all had 1000 mile tickets, but each of
the six went to the window in turn
and bought ticket for the nearest
station east or west. When we all
had been served the first one went
back TO the window and said:
"Young man, think you made
mistake"
81 guess not"
81 got ticket to c.. That Is
80 cents. gave you dollar and
you gave me 90 cents back"
"Hump! That's funny!" muttered
the young man as he took in the
change and corrected the alleged
error.
Then the second went up and said:
"Young nan, don't want to beat
this railroad. l bought q ticket to
R, which is % cents, gave you
half dollar, and you handed me 60
cents"
II did, eh?" queried the agent, as
he finished up and took the change.
Then, the third. fourth, fifth and
sixth man went up with similar
story. The big officials were taking
it all in, and they got very nervous.
The young man was winter than
chalk at the end of it, and he was not
wrong in believing that he was
doomed. Next day he was replaced,
and l learned few weeks later that
he had quit running railroad and
had gone into u wooden mill. 1t cost
each of us q small sum out of our
pockets to work the man, but it was
pro bono publico, and worth double
the amount.-New York Sun.
