I HAD FAITH.

About six months ago l was advised
to consult Mrs. Hail. the great Spirit
ualist doctor, to see if she could cure
me of Scrofula, from which l have
suffered from childhood. She said if
1 would have faith in the medicine
she gave me, that she could cure me.
| took her medicine, and in less than
three months l was cured. Why, the
way the medicine worked was mir
icle. begged OF her to tell me what
the medicine was made of, but she
said she could not do so. Finally she
told me the medicine was Sulphur
Bitters, and that she never knew it to
fail in all such cases as mine.-K,s. s.

Not Playing Fair.
WOMAN IS RULED AGAINST EVEN WHEN
SHE is BADLY HURT.

Let a woman be killed in a railroad
accident, and if she has policy in
travellers insurance company her heirs
may get the same sum that mans
heirs may; but let the poor woman be
beaten and broken and the breath Of
life almost knocked out of her, as
long as there is bit of breath left in
her body, SO long she may not receive
a bit of accident insurance money, even
though her policy is against accident
She will read it onlyto find this clause:
Except that this ticket insures Fe
males against death only" For
women to be called females with
capital letter is sufficiently old.fashioned
and barbarous, but for the travellers
insurance not to insure them, too,
against accident is not playing fair.
The theory probably is that women
are not wage earning creatures. Yet
the SIS week or upwards that
mans accident policy brings him is
scarcely as necessary to an insured
male capitalist as to the milliner in
jured in a railroad accident on her
way to buy spring bonnets, or to the
feminine head of household whom
like injury forces to hire nurses and
extra service in her home. 1t is a
clause far behind the times, and, be-
sides, it is not at all good business
management to leave it, Thousands
Of women travel in these travelsome
days, and their money is as good to
pay for accident policies in one com
pany as in another.

An Early Arrival a. Camp creede.

The first man to arrive in camp was
fellow of somber mein. His eyes were
deep set and restless, his cheeks hollow
and his voice low and rumbling. But
he was n hustler. Within three days
after his advent he had a substantial
one story building erected on one of the
finest sites of Jimtown. Across the front
he spread the doleful legend, "Under-
taking and Embalming on the Shortest
Notice" In the windows were neatly
printed cards setting forth that all Jobs
would be undertaken with neatness
and dispatch" When his store was
opened it was noticed that his voice had
lost much of its rumbling tone; that his
eyes were more tranquil and his cheeks
looked rs though they might fill out with
slight encouragement. Old timers gath
cred around, rubbing their hands with
satisfaction and warmly commencing
his enterprise. You'll get rich in no
time, partner. they declared; lust wait
till the peppers start to pop" Cheercd
by this friendly comment, he did wait.
He is waiting still.
Only one subject has passed through
his gloomy hands, and that was the vic
tim Of disease and not of mining camp
sport. His big linen sign is getting dull;
his inviting show cards have lost their
spruceness; the woodpecker taps not ut
all in his silent workshop, and he him
self is getting stoopier in the shoulders
and wasting away in the innocuous dcs-
uetude of his favorite pursuit. The
boys no longer come around to cheer
him up. On the other hand, their eyes
are often uplifted to more hopeful sign
which adorns the cliff 800 feet above his
lugubrious head. This advertisement
sets forth that he has a rival of greater
versatility-one who undertakes to fur
nish everything from the cradle to the
grave" and who is certain of some bust

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

According to Nikola Tesla, the
electrician, the new discovery of
carborundum will largely increase
the possibilities of electric lighting.
Among these possibilities he men
tons electric lamps operated without
any wires at all, an inexhaustlble
store of electrical energy on tap
everywhere without need of either
generation or transmission, and a
light at least 20 times more efficient
than that now furnished. In speak
ing of Mr.. Tesla's article, the Pitts
burg Dispatch says: There are more
tangible though somewhat less mag
nlticent results from the actual de-
velopment in Western Pennsylvania
industries of the new material, car
borundum, the qualities of which are
enlarged upon in the same connec-
ton. A material that in addition to
its value for electrical lighting has
the industrial uses set forth in the
article is valuable addition to our
Industries. 1t has been an abstract
rather than practical idea in the pro-
gress of science for some ages that
diamonds might be artticially pro-
duced. This discovery appears to
realize that dream, and even sur
passes it so far as the industrial uses
of the precious stone are concerned.
1t marks another step in the trium-
phant march of scientific industry.
