a series Of boxes called purifiers filed
with lime. When the lime has absorbed

he worked that the inspiration seized
him. 1t was nothing less than to take
this foul lime. bottle it up. give it a high
sounding name and sell 1t as a specific
for whooping cough, offering a reward
Of $500 for any case that it couldn't cure,

room for doubt about the improve
ment in trade. From yearly every
city reporting there comes the
same cheering information that
business isbetter and propects bright

one Of the most favorable ever issued,
and so favorable that 1t is regarded
with not little distrust in some quar-
tiers, particularly in respect to the con-
dition of corn and cotton. 1t is not
impoesible that some injuries sustain

But the money markets are also grow
ing more easy, just at the time of
the year when increased stringency is
apprehended. Large imports of gold
from Europe give great encourage
ment, and the belief prevails that
more of the precious metal is coming
without delay. This belief stimulates
business of all kinds, and especially
encourages investors, so that the
stock market during the past week
has been advancing with greatly in.

The Chicago Tribune tells sti ang,.
story of mysterious affair, which i
said to have occurred at Mendoza, Ill
\ Mr. Ralph Shaffer erected fine mon
uwent oyer the grave of his young
wife, who died last spring, but in de-
ference to his mother-in-law's wishes,
who had no love for her daughters
husband, placed no inscription on the
stone. The story goes that recently
a distinct shadow of the late Mrs
Shaffer appeared on the tombstone. 1t
grew until the shadow became life
size. The mother was wroth, and had
the monument makers rub the stone
down with pumice, but they could not
efface the shadow At first sight the
shape has as much resemblance to a
mans form as a woman's but by a
continued gaze one seems to see a
wornan's semi-profle, with bangs and
with the HAIR done up at the back
of the head. The neck and chin show
plainly, as do also the shoulders, and
there is scarf about the neck. The
features are distinct, and bear a re.
markable resemblance to the dead
wife. The shadow is 8 inches wide
and IA inches high, and is in the
middle of the stone.

manager that she was too old to play
her part and must be retired.

his assumed character, Mr. Booth inquired

dismissal. Mr.. Booth held in his hand a
COPY of his favorite work bound in
vellum.

it to her and left the stage.
