Danger in Ice Water.

Many people owe summer sickness to
the too free use of ice water. 1t is a
question if any real ice water is safe
That which is cold without coming di-
rectly from the ice is quite as satisfying
and is not dangerous. Strong men have
died in fifteen minutes from the effects
of drinking copiously of ice water while
highly heated by hard work or the sun.

The nick of time to stop the course of bladder

From Him h Hath.

TheSunday school needed some money.
and Mr.. Smith, the superintendent, had
a new way of getting it.
He proposed giving each boy half a
dollar; at the end of a month the prin-
cipal, together with what it earned, was
to be returned to him.
The scheme was good, but it didn't
work quite as Mr.. Smith had antici.
9ated.
The fourth Sunday found the superin-
tendent ready to audit the profit and loss
accounts-and he commenced with john

"My half dollar has earned another
one, said Johnnie, with an air of one
having an option on a halo.
"Good, said the superintendent; mot
tnly is Johnnie a good boy in helping tho
school, but he shows business talent.
Doubling ones money in a single month
requires 10 common talent. Johnnie,
you have done well. And now, Tom.

earned for us?"

TUG MAN WITH PRETTY HANDS.
Out, Poor Fellow, He Got One OF Them
In n Tight Place.

Out, Poor Fellow, He Got One of Them
In n Tight Place.
The last car on a bridge train the other
day was just comfortably filled and nov
ing from the Brooklyn side when l noticed
a young man on the seat opposite. He
was a good looking, well dressed chap,
but his hands were the main feature.
They were long and slender, like a real
born lady's, and he must have spent a
great deal of time on his finger nails.
l was still looking at his hands and
thinking how many women had envied
him their possession, when he gave his
spring o~veIcoat, which he was carrying
on his arm, a iirt to bring it partly across
the legs of the man on his right, and at the
same time one of those pretty hands was
lost sight of. His neighbor was a big,
sturdy citizen of middle age, who had on
eyeglasses and was reading a paper, and
appeared oblivious of what was going on.
Was the young man with the pretty
hands a pickpocket? He held an envel-
ope in his left hand and seemed to be try
ing hard to decipher the address on it,
but just the same l saw his right hand
carefully moving under the overcoat. l
was certain now, but who of us is going
to raise a row in such a public place UNI
less to save his own watch OF wallet? I
wondered that the big man held his paper
30 stif1y, and kept his eyes SO long on one
spot, and l half felt he ought to pay the
penalty of his carelessness.
We had just passed the piers on the
New York side when the big man dropped
his left hand, quietly seized upon some
thing, and I knew by the way he shut his
teeth and flushed up that he vas using
all the muscles of his hand and arm to
grip something. Then Iheard a cracking,
crunching sound, and ! looked into the
young mans face to find it as white as
flour, while he was biting his lips as if to
represS a scream of pain. He was lying
back in a half faint when the train
stopped, and the big man turned his head
and gave him one brief glance and passed
out.
"Shall I help you out?" I asked of tho
pretty handed man.
"If you please, he quietly answered.
(which wayI" as we walked toward
the stairs.
an go to a surgeons" he said, as he
braced up and let go my arm and held
out that finely nodded digit.
1t looked like a paw. I believe every
zone in it had been crushed by tina.

Get rid of it, if you have Catarrh. Don't
merely relieve it for a time with poisonous,
irritating snuffs and strong caustic solutions.
While you seem to be getting help, you may
be getting harm. Stopped in this way, it's
usually only driven to the lungs. You're
worse off than ever.
But you can get rid of it completely, with
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. That's been
proved over and over again, in thousands
of the most hopeless cases. By its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing properties.
Catarrh in the Head and all Catarrhal affec-
tions are perfectly and permantly cured.
Some physicians will tell you that Catarrh
can't be cured, They mean that they can't
cure it. DR.. Sage's Remedy can. And to
prove that they believe it, the proprietors OF
this medicine will pay $500 for an incurabe
case of Catarrh. They don't see one often,
but they'll pay the money when they do,
