father-in-lsw was able TO 60 out on the
street four days after he commenced taking
your medicine; six days after he went ten
blocks and surprised some Of the people

town thought ne never would be snie 20 20
out again. The swelling was nearly all
gone in four days He has slept well the
last two or three nights which is some
thing he has not done before for several
months. If he gets cureo shall do al

STORY OF AN OLD MANS LIFE.

He Was In Chicago Fifty-four Years Ago
and Has Walked Five Hundred Miles.
William Story, II years old. lodged at the
Harrison-street Station, because he had no.
where else to go, says the Chicago Herald.
Early in the evening he stumped up to the
door, duty, worn and weather beaten,
carrying bundle over his shoulder and a
stout staff in his hand, and asked for bed.
Officers kindly invited him In. Although
he had Just completed 500-mie walk he
was not too tired TO tell the story of his life

FOR THE YOUNG MEN.
New Building Of the Local Chris.
tian Association.
It Is to Be Dedicated to the Moral, Social,
Intellectual and Physical Develop
ment Of Young Men.

The accompanying cut represents the new
building of the San Francisco Young Mems
Christian Association, which is soon to be
erected on the northeast corner Of Ellis and
Mason streets.
The growth of the work in this city dur
ing the past ten years has been so rapid and
permanent that the present quarters of the
association, at 232 Suffer street, have for
some time been inadequate.
On November %, 1886, committee was
appointed to take into consideration the new
building project. and. if possible, secure a
centrally located lot, and to report to the
Board of Directors at subsequent meeting.
But the location Of the lot was not per-
manently decided until April, 1889, when
the lot 1877 IS feet on Ellis street by 1877 &c
on Mason, was purchased for the assOcia-
ton by Messrs. George W. Gibbs. BalfOur,
Guthrie & Co., and Captain Charles GOOdall,
who paid $4,000 for the lot, there being a
mortgage of $4,000. They advanced
100000 for the association without interest.
which sum the institution has had the use
of for the past two years and half,
The entire lot being larger than the asso-
citation needs for its purposes. it has been
decided to sell so feet on Ellis bv 1877 IS, and
the new building will cover 81 6 feet on
Ellis street by 1876 on Mason street, the
gymnasium building. which will be an an
mex to the main building, running back
137 g feet from Mason street, and will cover
80 feet front
The building will be constructed of brick,
stone and terra Gotta; will be five stories
and basement, and the total cost of the
building, independent of the lot, viii be
S220,000
The following is the committee as it
stands to-day: Robert Balfour, Chairman;
William H Crucker, Treasurer; George
w. Gibbs, John F. Merrill, Captain Charles
GOodal, Monroe Greenwood and A. b.
Forbes. 1t is the purpose of this committee
TO erect substantial building for cOnve-
nience and durability, avoiding in every
possible way unnecessary expenditure OF
funds. 1t will be one Of the largest and
most complete in its appointments of any
building of the kind in the world, and will
he supplied with improved elevators, cleo
tric-ight plant, etc.. The following is an
outline of the floor plans:
The basement of the main building will
contain area for machinery, cellars to stores,
two bowling alleys, room for 1000 lockers to
the gymnasium, swimming baths, large

in the market. In France the leech-ponds
and marshes are frequently farmed out to
spectators at an annual rental, and the
lessees employ large numbers of men as
fishers. Most of these poor fellows die pre-
maturrly. either from loss of blood or from
the effects of miasma In this way hun
dreds of healthy men are sacrificed that the
sick may be relieved If the homeopathists
are right the game is not worth the candle.
Paris is the great market for these un-
pleasant-looking vermculars. At GENTLY,
near that city, there is an establishment fur
nishcd with reservoirs fifty feet long by
thirty feet wide, the bottoms OF which are
of unctuOus clay. In these receptacles I'M
menss quantities of leeches are kept at all
seasons of the year. The entire supply fur
nished annually by Europe, Asia, Egypt aud
Australia is estimated at about 20, 600, 600.
For expectation they are usually placed in
tubs half filed with clay and covered with
wire gauze.
There is no scarcity of leeches in this
country. as every boy who has been in tile
habit Of bathing in our fresh water streams
and ponds is well aware; but the common
American ''blood-sucker" is not the leech
of the materia medica, although it is some-
times used rs a depetent when the better
kind Is Improbable. Upon the whole, it
is quite probable that the world is leeched
as we'll as governed "Over much"

ABOUT LEECHES.
What the Horrid Thugs Are and Where
They Are Obtained.

What the Horrid Thugs Are and Where
They Are Obtained.
Beyond the fact that the leeches used In
medical practice are costly little black rep
tiles, with a furious appetite for blood, few
of US know much about them. Leech-catch-
ing is. however, quite an extensive business
in some parts Of France, Spain. Italy, Russia
and England, according to the New York
Ledger, and Of late years has been pro-
secuted on large scale In the valley of the
Nile and Australia. The process Of taking
them is neither healthful nor agreeable.
Leeches affect stasnant and shallow waters,
aud wherever they abound there Is sure to
be plenty Of intermittent fever In catching
them the Levitcal law of "blood for blood"
Is literally fulfilled. The fishers wade into
the pools with naked legs, and as fast az the
creatures bite, they pick them off and deposit
them In bags strapped round the waist like
tho anglers "creel." The leech-catcher is
always deplorablo looking object-hollow-
in fact, drained out of him by the succubi
which furnish him with his daily bread.
He sells them by the pound-the average
number of ieeches to the pound being about
700. The wholesale leech merchant. how
ever, dsposes of them by number to the re-
tailers, realizing 100 or 200 per cent on first
cost, and the retailer puts on at least 100 per
cent more, SO that by the time they reach
the sick-room they are very expensive arti-
cles. The wholesale merchant pays cents
or cents apiece for his leeches; the invalid
to whom they are applied, from 20 cents 10
