Mark Twain's Pipes and Tobacco.

Jerome X. Jerome tells of q very char
acteristic chat he had with Mark Twain
in London recently, on the subject of
the humorists greatest fad-pipe-smok-
ing.
Every one who knows Mark Twain
knows that the pipe and he are simply
inseparabe. He generally smokes u
granulated tobacco, which he keeps in Il
long check bag made of silk and rubber.
When he has finished smoking, he knocks
the residue from the bowl of the pipo,
takes out the stem, places it in his vest
pocket, like pencil or stylographic
pen, and throws the bowl into the bag
containing the granulated tobacco. When
he wishes to smoke again (Which is us
ually five minutes later he fishes out the
bowl, which is now filled with tobacco, in
serts the stem and strikes u light. No
ticing that his pipe was very aged and
black, and knowing that he was about to
go to France, where corn-cob pipes are
not, jerome asked him if he had brought
supply of pipes with him.
"Oh, no." the humorist answered, 81
never smoke u new corn-cob pipe. A new
pipes irritates the throat No corn-cob
pipe is fit for anything until it has been
used at least fortnight"
" How do you manage then :" Jerome
asked. "Do you follow the example of
the man with the tight boots wear them
a couple of weeks before they can be
put on2"
"No," said Mark Twain, 1 always
hire cheap mana man who doesn't
amount to much, anyhow-who would be
as well-or better-dead, and let him
break in the pipe for me. get him to
smoke tho pipe for couple of weeks
then put in new stem and continue
operations as long as the pipe holds to-
gether."
Mark Twain brought into France with
him huge package of boxes of cigars
and tobacco which he took personal
charge of. When he placed it ON the
deck of the steamer crossing the English
Channel while le lit fresh cigar, he
put his foot on this package 80 as to be
sure of its safety. lie didn't appear to
care what became of the rest of the lug
gage, 30 long as the tobacco was safe.
"Going to smuggle that in?" asked
Jerome.
:" No, sir. I'm the only man on board
this steamer who has any tobacco. |
will say to the customs officer: Tax me
what you like, but don't meddle with the
tobacco. They don't know what tobac-
CO is in France. 1.-THE Epoch.

for, old as he was, McCarty could still
keep step to tune in very lively fash
ion. He would often play the violin and
dance to the music for half an hour at a
time, greatly to the amusement of tho
onlookers. For years his occupation

his last illness he was remarkably
active.
HERE'S nugget for the superstitious.
On the night of the crisis of the recent
illness of the young English Prince the
great clock of Westminster struck thir-
teen at midnight, according to the testi
mony of number of members of q
political club in session near the House
OF Commons. The fatal inference is
happily frustrated, however, by simple
tact. 1t was Prince George of Wales
and not Prince Albert who was critically
i'll at tho time, and Prince George got
well.
ONE day recently clerk in Dixon
grocery store emptied some sour wine in
to pan and thoughtlcssly placed it near
q coop filed with ducks They made
short work of the pans contents, and in
few minutes every duck in the coop was

They reeled and staggered like drunken
men and did not recover from the effects
OF their potations for several hours.
STRAWBERRIES and mosquitoes are said
to be plentiful in the neighborhood of
Mount st. Elias, the region of perpetual
ice and snow. Along the edge of the
glacier is strip of luxuriant vegetation,
where strawberry vines cover the ground

Extraordinary Franks of Rabbits.

Rabbits have been playing some most
extraordinary pranks in and ne r North
Lyme, Conn. The other night at a bean
supper, while dishes filled with this de-
lightful vegetable were cooling on the
porch of the old Sill house, drove of
the animals ate them all up. On the
Sunday evening following they crowded
into the vestibule of the church in such
numbers as to interrupt the sermon. 1t
took the pastor and five members of the
congregation nearly quarter of an hour
TO clear the room and in doing so they
killed eighteen rabbits. Monday night
the church society gave rabbit pie fes-

What an Eye is Worth.

Representative O'Neil says that one of
the first pension cases he worked through
under the Cleveland administration was
for constituent who had become en-
tirely blind. Tho rate of compensation
was $72 month. Immediately he be-
gun TO get letters from other constituents
who had lost an eye in the military SER
vice and were getting $18 month, in
sisting that their pensions be raised to
$36. They argued that if the loss of
two eyes entitled veteran to $72 u
month it was plain and simple mathe-
matical verify that the loss of one eye
should be rated at half that sum. Mil

n veteran Oh tne MeNicuu w ut.
Samuel L. McFadin, whose portrait
appears above, Is prominent citizen of
Logansport, Ind, and one of but seven
teen surviving veterans of q company OF
ninety. two young men who left that city
forty five years ago for the seat of War
in Mexico. He now holds the position
of Marshal of National Association, and
although well advanced in years is still
hearty and hale. In writing of his
health he says: l had been troubled
for long time with rheumatism, Kidney
and Liver Complaint and could hardly
get around. Suffered great pain night
and day. After trying many different
kinds of medicines and finding no relief,
at last through the advice of friend
purchased DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
from one of our leading Druggists, B. F.
Kesling, and must say it has helped me
wonderfully, as | now walk without
pain.
1t is the only medicine that has done
me any good, and has been great ben
eft in invigorating and building up my
system, greatly assisting the liver, KID
neys and digestive organs. This is the
first recommendation [ have ever given
medicine and it affords me pleasure to
call the attention of the public to the
merits of this wonderful specific. Those
who try Swamp Root have generally first
employed the family physician, or used
all the prescriptions within their reach
without benefit. AS last resort, when
their case has become chronic, the symp-
toms complicated and their constitution
run down, then they take this remedy,
and it is just such cases and cures that
have made Swamp-Root famous and
given it worldwide reputation.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many wears doctors
pronounced it u local disease, and prescribed
local remedies and by constantly failing to

constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure.

A rash assertion cannot be made st rong by
simple reiteration. l. we say thing is prompt
in its action and its effects are permanent
there should be evidence 10 support the asser-
ton and that evidence should be- without q
flaw, like the following: January nth, 1888
Messrs. Geo. 9. Osgood & Co., Druggists,
Lowell, Mass, wrote: "Mr. Lewis Dennis, 138
Moody St., desires specially to say: "Orrin
Robinson, of Granitevlle, Mass, a boy of
twelve years, came TO my house IN the SUM
mer Of 1881 walking upon crutches, his left leg
having been bent at the knee for over two
months. l had some st. Jacobs Oil in the
house which l gave him to rub on his knee.
In six days he had no use for his crutches, and
went home well without them, and he has
been well since. st. Jacobs Oil cured him"
After an interval OF about four years Messrs.
Osgood q Co., on June 18Th 1887 were asked
about the condition of this case and they
replied: Lowell, Mass, july 9Th. 1887. "Gen-
tlemen: Mr.. Lewis Dennis has just called and
was poor cripple on cruches and was cured
by st. Jacobs Oil in 1881, has remained per-
manently cured. The young man has been
and is now at work every day at manual la
Dor; case certainly which proves the efficacy
of st. Jacobs Oil. Mr.. Dennis tells me also
that he had rheumatism; that he tried many
remedies that were OF no use. and that st.
Jacobs Oil cured the rheumatism permanent
ly, as IL has not troubled him for years"

Is there nothing to be considered
but availability? If the Republicans
are trying to avoid a fight, better
endorse the Democratic nominee. If
the party has any principles that it
cares to maintain, it should nominate
a candidate who supports those
principles. If the only object is to
elect the man placed on the ticket by
availability it is then policy to select
one who is known to sympathize with
the principles Of the parties opposed
to the Republicans, which of course
would insure strong support from the
