A Scrap Of Paper Saves Her
Life.

1t was just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but it saved her life. She
was in the last stages of consumption,
told by physicians that she was incura'
BILE and could live only short time; she
weighed less than seventy pounds. On
a piece of wrapping paper she read of
DR.. Kings New Discovery. and got a
sample bottle; 1t helped her, she bought
large bottle, it helped her m re.
bought another and grew better fast,
continued its use and is now strong,
healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 40 lbs.

Grafton: if you propose to overcome the
powers Of evil, you had probably better
not be too high-toned in your methods,
at the outset.
To light the deyil with fire" may
not appeal to the highest moral sense,

jesty and if so, its use is legitimate.
Make the cost Of every license such
that the risk of its loss will weigh more
than the promise of gain by a violation
of the conditions under which it is held
and you will be in position to formu-
late such conditions as will result in the
amelioration of man from a temperance
standpoint.
The desire for the gain of money is at
the bottom of this matter and-moral
platitudes be blasted--until you place
the issue on the basis Of "money talks
you will probably continue your Don
Quixote charges against RUNS wind
mills.
On the principle that fluids attain a
level and that streams rise no higher

NIT that the people of the American
Republic (vide the Pennsylvania inte'

into total abstinence and If you would
reach that highly desirable status, you
had better be content to approach it
gradually and by the most practicable
method and that is, as we have said. by
rendering it less profitable to debauch
humanity.

generally who are really victims of the
petty superstitions. Those in regard
to Friday have perhaps as many pos
SCISSORS as any. This is bad year for

GERMANY'S GRETHA GREEN.
A Little Island Whose Chief Industry Il
the Tying of Nuptial Knots.

A Little Island Whose Chief Industry Is
the Tying of Nuptial Knots.
The little rocky island of Heligo-
land, aside from its reputation as
a-bathing place, enjoys the addition
al one of being sort Of Gretna Green
for loving couples Of the fatherland,
who fondly believe that they can enter
the haven Of married life without the
numerous legal eXactions and obstruc-
tons which the strictness OF the i'm
perial statutes is apt to throw in their
way. Last year no less than forty
couples from abroad, who had gone
there expressly for the purpose, were
joined in wedlock, and up to the end of
July upward Of twenty couples had
followed their example. 1t is, never
theless, fact that the presentation of
the usual documents, such as certifi-
Gates Of birth, the written consent of
parents, etc, are as much required as
on the mainland.
The facility and eXpcditiousness OF
the procedure chiefly consist in that,
under certain circumstances, the lack
of one of the necessary papers may be
| dispensed with on formal declaration
upon oath, and that a single publica-
ton of the banns on II Sunday is con-
sidered sufficient as consistent with the
old Frisonian custom. Thus an anx-
ious couple may arrive Saturday night
and leave Monday morning happily
united. Many of these candidates of
wedlOck take the way to Heligoland to
escape the long legal notice, and per-
haps also the long comments at home.
Others, again, choose the island route
to the hymeneal altar in order to save
the expenses Of costly wedding and
to have a wedding and bridal tour all
in one. The expense of having the
knot tied on the island is not as cheap
as many people imagine, and certainly
not less than two hundred marks. one
half OF which sum goes to the officiat-
ing Germany clergyman. Berlin Let.

Camphor Making.

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way. After tree is felled it is cut
up into chips, which are laid in a
tub, or large iron pot partially filled
with water, and placed over a slow
fire. Through holes in the bottom of
the tub steam slowly rises, and heat.
ing the chips generates oil and cam
phor. OF course, the tub with the
chips has a closely fitting cover.
From this cover a bamboo pipe leads
to a succession Of other tubs with
bamboo connections, and the last of
these tubs are divided into two com
partments, one above the other, the
dividing floor being perforated with
small holes TO allow the water and
oil to pass to the lower compartment.
The upper compartment is supplied
with a straw layer, which catches
and holds the camphor in crystal in
deposit as it passes to the cooling pro-
cess. The camphor is then separated
from the straw, packed in wooden
tubs, and is ready for market. The
oil is used by natives for illumi-
mating and medical purposes.

An Orthodox Deed.

The Albany Law Journal quotes
from the Legal Intelligencer, the de-
scription of q deed in the records of
Northumberland County in Pennsyl-
vania, drawn by a quaint old lawyer
of the last century. The deed conveys
Lot No. 81 in the town of Lewisburg,
and contains the following recital Of
title:
Whereas, the Creator of the earth,
by parole and livery of seized did en-
feoff the parents of mankind, to wit,
Adam and Eve, of all that certain
tract of land, called and known in
the planetary system by the name
of the Earth-to have and to hold to
them, the said Adam and Eve, and
the heirs of their bodies, lawfully to
be begotten lin fee-tail general forever,
as by said feoffment recorded by
Moses, in the first chapter in the first
book of his records, more fully and at
large appears.
The deed recites that Adam and
Eve died seized of the premises in
fee-tail general, leaving issue, sons
and daughters, who entered into the
same premises, and became seized as
tenants in common; that in the pro-
cess of time they multiplied their
seed on the earth, and became very
numerous; that they found it to be
announcement to remain in common ;
that they "bethought themselves to
make partition of the lands to and
among themselves; that the tract
known on the general plan of the
earth as merica was allotted to GER
tain of the heirs eventually (now
deemed time immemoriaD certain
united people called the Six Nations
of North America, heirs and descend
ants of said grantees of America, be-
came seized of a part of the tract now
called Pennsylvania.
The deed from this point then pro.
ceedsto give an accurate recital of the
conveyance by the Six Nations tC
the Penns, and from them down to
the grantor. 1t omits all reference
to the Royal grants to William Penn
The scrivener was either very good
lawyer, or intensely anti-British, II
was more than likely that he was
both.
The lawyer who drew up this deed
evidently did not believe that this
race of men started with a proto
plasm, or series of protoplasms, and
finally worked its way up to human
ity. He believed in the record o
Moses and the title of man to thu
earth as given in that record. HI
makes out q first-class title to "Lo
No. 81 in the town of Lewisburg'
tracing it back to Adam and Eve
and from them to the great Create
Of the earth and giver of the same t.
Adam. We think the title to "LO
No. 81" a good one, and the deeC
to be perfectly orthodox. Anybod.
who wants better title to land mus
be hard to please.
