A Wonder Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, young man
of Darlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment
until he was not able to get around.
They pronounced his case to he Con.
sumption and incurahle. He was per-
suaded to try DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds and at that time was not able to
walk across the street without resting.
He found before he had used half a
dollar bottle, that he was much better;
he continued to use it and is to day
enjoying good health. IF you have

THE AIRS TRANSPARENCY.

Unlike fog, haze commonly occurs
during an unusually dry state of the
lower stratum of air. In considering
its cause, it has been suggested that
the small quantity of nontransparent
matter required to produce the dim
ming effect should always be borne i'll
mind. If the eye can observe the
change that comes over a drop Of wa
ter when the fifty millioath of a
gramme Of fuchsine is introduced,
possibly a weight Of water or dust not
much greater would suffice for visihi-
lity in column Of air 1000 feet long.
The air is at all times charged with
dust particles to degree difficult to
realize. The purest air tested by Mr..
Atkins when making hismeasurement
on the top of Ben Nevis contained
about "a, 900 dust particles to each Gu
bic inch, which would give 35, $4,000
to a horizontal column of thousand
feet. This being the case, it is mani
fest that condensation upon a small
proportion of these or a momentary
adhesion by electric attraction would
suffice to produce the optical effect
called ''haze" or "haziness."

THE MANAGED CRAB,

One Of the most singular-looking
creatures that ever walked the earth
Or "swam the waters under the earth
is the world famous man-faced crab of
Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in
length, yet the head is fitted with a
face which is the perfect counterpart
of that Of a Chinese coolie; veritable
missing link, with eyes, ears and
mouth all clearly defined. This Gu
rious and uncanny creature, besides
the great likeness it bears to human
being in mater of facial features, is
provided with two legs, which seem to
grow from the top of its head and
hang down over the sides of its face.
Besides these legs, two "feelers," each
about an inch in length, grow from
the "chin" Of the animal, looking for
all the world like a Colonefs forked
beard. These man-faced crabs fairly
swarm in the inland seas of Japan.

The Decline OF sGood Form, T"

From Chamber Journal.
No doubt the changed conditions Of life. the
hurry and scurry of business and the tussle for
very existence are largely responsible for this.
We have not time to be polite and il we stay to
consider others we ourselves may be jostled
out Of place. But is not the prevailing ten
deney Of self-indulgence and NERVOUSNESS
equally to blame for this decadence Of
manners? To watch how the so-caiied gen.
tleman Of today elbows his way into
theater, train, omnibus and everywhere
else; TO see him smoke in the presence Of ladies';
to note how be will remain seated and leave
lady to open the door for herself; and to listen
to the free and easy conversation with which he
favors the fairer sex, are but instances Of the
general style Of behavior 10 which we are be-
coming Observation-Disclosures for which, not
many years ago, he would have had to answer
with pistol or small sword.
OF course the plea put forward by him il that
the girl and woman Of the period are descend
tonished at being treated ~ equals. But that
- merely begging the question, for the chival-
rous knight does not lower his bearing, but
carries himself nobly wherever he may be, rem
ders due homage to womanhood whether
IN rags or silks and does de-
yoir to the milkinaid a. well Us to the
queen. BY the way, there Is no truer test
Of Good Form, in its wider and best sense, than
behavior toward interiors in station or advan-
tages-a principle which was the first care of a
gallant colonel Of . certain dashing cavalry
regiment, who used to send for each newly
joined sub" and say: You know, Mr.. So-and-

A very pretty scarf for table or dresser came

grouped in twos and threes with some single
bowers we're dogwood blossoms without foliage.
The edge of each petal was outlined in white
silk and then closely dRrned across the same
silk. a single thread of tilofoss being used for
the darning and two for the outline. The lines
Of darning were as close together as could be
made and the stitch was taken as short as pos

right, so almost solid silk flower in appear

extremely pretty.

An Extraordinary Account Of His Expert

An Extraordinary Account Of His Experi-
ences In America.
From the Boston Record.
The Vienna Abendble in its issue of December
"a, 1890, has some astounding statements ,Ggp-
corning the reception Of Edouard Strauss aud
his orchestra in Boston. After giving some
remarkable statistics of the concert tour Just
completed, the article goes on to say: -.
I'm Boston the Strauss orchestra made its
first acquaintance with the American public.
The concert began late in the evening. Nearly
5000 people filed the hall. Nearly one-third
of these were in shirt sleeves, and yet they
were mostly persons of the middle class This
class is one to which the working men belong
| in America and is very much respected on that
side Of the ocean. The working men earn much
money and are, therefore, in position to in
dulge themselves. They have an especial taste
for music. and no admission price is too high
for them il the fame Of the artists has crossed
the ocean. e
AN audience of 5000 in America is not an
especially large one. In some cities the Orches-
ira had more than $4,000 persons frequently
present The fret number on the program,
Strauss waltz, was listened to in dead silence.
| A second and third followed and still no ap-
plause. At last, after the fourth piece, the en-
| tire audience began to whistle. This aston
| ished Mr.. Strauss and his men. With amaze
ment he saw his manager coming to him BEAM
ing with pleasure, to congratulate him. What
does this meanr asked Mr.. Strauss. Don't
| you see,' was the answer, you have made them
| enthusiastic and they are whistling.'
| MIR. Strauss and his orchestra suffered very
much in America from black servants and from
temperance people. The darkies steal like
ravens everything they can lay hold Of In the
hotels one had to be constantly on the guard
not to awake without any clothing and without
hal,
constant danger of disappearing. Fortunately
this Characteristic passion OF negroes could be
met by exercising care, but it was otherwise
with teetotalers. This sect, among whom there
are large number Of pastors, Often worked
people should not give way to pleasure, and be-
cause, after such programs, people might easily
