A Pleasant %Surprise.

This is the verdict OF Mr.. | W. Fall.
321 Seventh street, Paducali, Ky, who
said that if his little girl had had
another congestive chill she would
have died. This is what he writes us;
Il have used your Lemon Chill Tonic
in my family and find it all you claim.
The medicine has no bad taste, but
is deliciously favored. My little
daughter, who suffered for some time
with chills and fever, watched the
clock in pleasant anticipation of the
next dose. Lemon Chill Tonic not
only does away with the bitter and
n~auseating mixtures usually prcscrib-
ed for ague, but effects speedy and
permanent cure. livery gladly testify
TO the merit of a medicine which
have seen used in my family with
such signal success" Take no other.

Prince Henry, the brother of En-
peror William, is attracting the atten-
ton of Germans because of the re-
cent illness of the Emperor. If VIII
liam should die Henry would become
the regent until the next heir to The
throne arrived at the age for him to
be crowned. In such an event it is
generally conceded that Germany
would have a wise ruler and one
more like his father in disposition
than the present Emperor. Prince
Henry is very popular, and he has nc
prejudices against France.

The assessors of Dickinson Coun-
ty, Kan, are in an embarrassing posi-
ton by reason of having agreed to
assess all property at full value, in
stead of one-third as formerly and a:
is done in the remainder Of the
State. The business men refuse tC
give in the full value of their stocks
and an appeal will be taken to tht
State board. What complicates mat
tiers is that the law requires a full
valuation, but it has been ell
forced before in the State.

Limited marriges are not rscogRiz-
ed by the courts of Massachusetts. A
man and a woman who signed an
agreement to live together so long as
love and mutual respect continued,
asked for q divorce after fourteen
years of such partnership. The
courts of Massachusetts held that the
agreement was not a marriage, and,
therefore, there could be no di.
vorce.

Something new in postal cards has
just been issued by the country Of
Salvador, in Central America, in hon.
or of the anniversary of the discovery
of America. 1t is a pictorial and
geographical one. On the side where
the address is to be written appears a
map showing the route of Columbus
from Spain to Salvador. Adjacent
islands and parts of continents arc
also shown, and the whole is printed
in light blue and brown. The stamp,
too, bears q scene in the career ofthc
great discoverer. AS this Columbian
series will be limited to this year,
they no doubt will be extremely val

To use kind language costs nothing
at all; unkind costs always more or
less; oftentimes more to him who en-
ploys it than even those to whom it is
addressed. But every man is bound
to anticipate that unkind language
will produce the fruits of unkindness,
that is, suffering in the bosom of 9TH
ers.

He lives just outside the corporation
limits, says the Maryland Farmer,
where there are large commons on
which the cows pasture. Having %
large lawn, he mows the grass with an
attachment to his lawn-mower which
catches the grass cut. This he feeds to
his COW at night, and her toothsome
lunch of frcsh-mown grass has come to
DC a loollcd-.or evening occurrence.
The other evening friend went out to
spend the night After tea the gentle

answer, and then while his city friend

EARLESS EZEKIEL EADS.
A Freak Of Nature, Born Earless Hi
Hair Was Pieba,d.

A Freak of Nature, Born Earless - His
Hair Was Pieba,d.
Ezekiel Eads, who died in Greene
county, N. Y, in the spring of 1885, was
surely a fit subject for dime museum,
even though he never descended to that
level, says the Wheeling wv. Val Reg
lister. Strictly speaking, Eads was in
several respects most remarkable
creature. He was born without ears,
not even having apertures where the
ears should have been. His deformity,
sad as it was, may be said to have been
partly alleviated by the curious con-
struction Of the inner portion of his
head, which enabled him to hear com
mon conversation through his mouth.
When addressed he would instantly
open his mouth and readily give an
swers to interrogations put to him in
an ordinary tone of voice. But Ezebiel's
lack of ears was not his only distinction
He had heavy crop of black hair
spotted with white, the spots them
selves being in exact shape of human
ears, feet, hands, etc. When he was
quite small boy it was noticed that
his black hair was interspersed with
oddly shaped spots of white, which,
however, did not take on their dis
tinctive shapes until he had passed his
fifteenth year.
When Mr.. Eads died he left one son.
aged forty-fivc, whose hair was as black
as coal, not single gray hair being dis
cernible, and another son, thirteen
years of age, whose hair was as gray as
that of man of seventy.
