Indispensable for washing dishes, windows
carpets, cleaning house, etc; but because Of its
wonderful cleansing properties are afraid to
have their clothes washed with it. Well, ia
the past ten years the consumption Of Pearline
has exceeded 100000 packages, and no
complaints, but numerous letters Praising It.
Why7 Because PEARLINE IS absolutely
harmless in its place, and one of the best places
to put it is in the washtub. You can soak your
finest linens and laces IN Pearline and water for
a month with perfect safety. That's as much
Pearline as they would get if they were washed
in it once week for twenty years. We could
not afford to spend our time and money in tell
ing the public, through the newspapers, single
thing about Pearline that would not stand the
test. Pure and harmless as the finest imported
CASTLE soap. Its success has brought out many
dangerous limitations; beware Of them.

themselves to the zig-zag fence rails, which

very much annoyed by the disappearance Of his

Ger of a body of Maine troops stationed near.
The officer considered the matter fully, and
said The boys cannot get along without some

them to take only the top rail-" The planter

The Chinese arsenals are directed by English
men, and those at Nankin and Shanghai make
American guns of the Remington and Spencer
pattern. There is one arsenal which turns out
10000 pounds of powder day, and at some of
these arsenals cartridges and torpedoes are
made.
The Chinese navy is also on the road to i'm
provement. The war with, France showed the
Government that it had to have ships, and it
now has an English Admiral, and its gunboats
will compare favorably with those of some of
the first-class powers of Europe. We have seen
a number of these Chinese ships-of-war at the
various harbors. They are manned by English
officers with Chinese sailors and troops. Among
the boats are 13small gunboats, which are built of
steel, and which carry some guns which throw
balls weighing 100 pounds, and which require
180 pounds of powder for single charge.
These vessels have knife-edged spur or ram,
and it is said that the ranges of their guns are
the best of those of any guns afioat. They are
very fast boats, and the Chinese navy. all told,
might make it a serious business for our ships
in these waters if any trouble should arise be-
tween the two nations.

A Capt. Kidd Story.

Ever since the recent heavy rains
worked deepgullies in the old roads
in the vicinity of Lordships farm in
this township and number of gold
coins of ancient date were found,
there has been great excitement over
what is supposed to be a clew to
Capt. kidd's buried treasures
Searching parties have been organ
lied and all the old stories relative
to the hiding place of the wealth of
the bold buccaneer have been re-
vlved and have become the chief topic
of conversation. The story that the
old johnson vault in the Episcopal
burying ground near the village was
made the receptacle ofvast treasures
on the return ofKidd from one of his
expeditions seemed to be the most
probable, and the strange perform
ances which have taken place there
for few nights back strength
en- the belief ofthe villagers that a
search is being carried on, if really
the treasure has not been found and
carried away.
A lew nights ago a cab was seen to
drive up to the gateway of the ceme-
tary about midnight, and two men
left 1T and went into the yard. They
returned in about an hour and drove
away. No Importance was attached
to this incident, but when the same
thing was repeated the following
night, and it became known, the
town was all excitement. Rumors of
body snatching, and of the discovery
OF the treasure and it's removal by
night were flying thick and fast. The
cemetery was carefully searched, the
old vault being the thing of particu-
lar interest, Nothing was discovered
to verify the suspicious, and it was
determined to form a vigilance com
mittee and lie in wait to solve the
mystery.
The next night found twenty-five
men waiting for the mysterious cab
and Its occupants to appear. At
about the same hour up it drove,
and two men entered the cemetery
and were lost to view among the
trees.
Not man among the twenty-five
lying concealed in the bushes dared
to move, and in a short time the two
men, possible laden down with gold
and jewels, emerged from the ceme-
terry, and entered the cab. The
driver, who all this time had sat up-
on the box as motionless as the
marble post at the entrance of the
cemetery, whipped up his horse, and
disappeared in the darkness.
The next night fresh recruits were
added to the party, but the cab and
its mysterious occupants did not put
in an appearance.
A search through the cemetery
failed to show any signs of the visit
The rustic fastenings of the old
johnson vault were in this same DO
sition as they had been for over 200
years,
There is strong belief among the
older inhabitants that the treasure
has actually been found and carried
away in the cab.-Stratford Conn

An Old Story.

An lrishman, recently landed, was
travelling along a road in the Cat
skills where he saw a pair of jack
asses in the field
whats them? said Pat to a wag
who leaned over the fence at his side.
"Them's jackasses," said the ma
tive.
"And where do they get thim?"
"Out of those crooked yellow things
lying in the field" replied the wag,
pointing to the largest pumpkin in
sight.
"Arrah, you don't tell me that"
"Why, yes, Pat, take that big
pumpkin home and sit on it for
three weeks, and you will find fine
young jackass will come out of it,"
"That | will, for I'd like to have
one O. thin long-eared little horses"
So Pat took the pumpkin home,
sat on it patiently for three weeks,
but there was no sign of the I'M
tiedged hammering on his prison
house. In disgust Pat carried
the pumpkin out of the field
and, raising it above his head, dash
ed it into thousand pieces on the
stump of an old tree. A timid jack
rabbit, who had been snoozing with
one eye open on the opposite side of
the stump, started across the field as
fast as his legs could carry him.
Come back, We young devil ye,"
yelled Pat, don't We know I'm yer
father!"

his appearance in the village of Bath

presented himself at the home of the
Misses De Forest on Broadway, and
offered to sell a number of sealed
packages of note paper. Notwith-
standing the fact that he was told
the parties wanted no paper, his ora
tory was too much for them, and
they purchased twenty-four packages

extracted a 500 bill, and explained
that one among the number pur-
chased by them contained n like sum.
The packages contained the name,

in the village are also wailing over

Cure for Infammatory Rheumatism.

Cure for Inhammatory Rheumatism.

has endured from inf1ammatory
rheumatism, as told in the World

rheumatism that can he imagined.
Let the affected part be exposed to
the heat of the stove, until the skin
begins to redden and smart. Then
rub the spot with the hand until the
heat is distributed over a large sur
