Two Great Remedies.

The human citadel is open to at
tackS frcm two sour cs. and. aside
from accidents. these tro are the ave-
n.lcs from which all of the maladies
that a!ll.ct the race spring. The first
of these are what are known as the ex-
crctory organs. These are the lungs,
the kidneys, and the skin. These
suffer from congestion. which takes
the form OF colds. Starting from what
is callcd a cold. the naladics that re-
sat arc widGs read. ranging from Q
cough t. consumption. They attack
all ages and all stations. No one is
free from these troubles. There is,
however. a remedy that is 4 safeguard.
This is REDS GERMAN CoUGH AND
KIDNEY CURE. 1t contains no Ioison,
hit it will heal any form of lung
trouble. or any malady that arises
from 4 cod. The other class of dis
eases arise from arrangement of the
digestive organs. and result in cOnSti-
patton. When the bowels 90 not act, the
stomat h soon refuse to digest the food,
and We are troubled with indigestion,
fe,e.'. and a long train Of disorders that
embrace a wide rargs of ma1adies. The
Laxative m-Drops will correct any
difficulty Of this sort. They contain
nothing dcletelious, lu. are safe and
pleasant. Get them Of any dealer.

THE report that a lineman had re-
ceived an electric charge Of $3.50
volts and kept it several minutes, cs-
Gaping without more serious injury
than a burn ard bruise. was OF much
scientific interest SO long rs its integ-
rity was unquestioned. For one
thing it started Il theory that kemnl-
Ter and the other murdercrs who
thought they were being electrocuted
were really being scared to death.
But the lineman's experience proves
to have been with less than 500 volts,
so his escape loses the character OF a
miracle, and Reminders death cannot
BE- ascribcd to any intensity of mental

sun Ching-Hsia, marshal of I'M

in his village who had been killed by
rebels when they had passed through
the place. The mans head was left
hanging down on his chest: and as
soon as the rebels had gone his Serv-
ants secured the body AMI were
about to bury it. Hearing. however,
the sound Of breathing. they locked
more closely and found that the
winIpipc hal not been wholly s.
vercd: so, setting his head in the
proper place, they carried him back
home. In twenty four hours he be-
gan to moan. AMI 10y dint OF carefully
feeding him with Il spoon. within six
months he had quite recovered.
Some ten years aft"rward he was
chatting with Il few fricn;.s. when
oac of them made joke which
called forth loud applause from the
others. Our hero. too, clappcd his
