YOUNG MEN-Who have become victims Of soli-
tary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit,
which annually sweeps to an untimey grave thous-
ands of young men of exalted talent and brilliant
intellect, may call with confidence.
DRS. FRANCE AND 0TTMAN, after years Of ex-
oerience, have discovered the greatest cure known
for weakness in the back and limbs, involuntary dis
charges, impotency, general debility, nervousness,
languor confusion of ideas, paptaon of the heart,
timidity, trembling, dimness of sight, or gddiness,
diseases of the head, throat, nose, or skim affec-
tions Of the liver lungs, stomach, or bowes--those
terrible disorders arising from the solitary vice of
youth-and secret practices, blghting their most
radiant hopes or anticipations, rendering marriage
impossible Take candid thought before it is too
late. A week or month may place your case beyond
the reach of hope. Our method of treatment will
speedily and permanently cure the most obstinate
Ease, and absolutely restore perfect manhood.
TO MiOplE-AGED MEN.-Thers are many from
the age OF 30 90 who are troubled with frequent
evacustions Of the bladder, often accompanied by
tght burning or smartng sensation, weak kening the
system in manner the patient cannot account for.
On examination of the urinary deposits, ropy
sediment will be found, or the color will be tain or
4nilkish hue. There are many men who die Of this
difficulty, ignorant Of the cause, which is second
stage Of seminal weakness. We will guarantee a
perfect cure in all such cases, and healthy
restoration OF the genito-urinary organs.

four rooms in front Of the rear hall are en-
tirely reserved for the family. Connecting
with them is the bathroom, which is placed
directly over the kitchen, and is thus
economically disposed Of as concerns the
arrangement Of the plumbing apparatus.
From the bathroom one goes to the attic.
Next to the attic stairway is closet
which may be used for bathroom linen and
other purposes. Near the bathroom door
is general linen closet. Each Of the bed
rooms Is provided with ample closet ac-
commodations.
The house is square in front, with round
corners, which are arranged to give pic
turesque exterior. The projection of the
bedroom on the right, over the dining
room wall, gives additional space at the
same time that it adds interest to the ex-
terror. A large dormer window, as shown
in front, would serve in case of necessity to
light large square room in this part Of
the attic. In case one wanted more sitting
space in connection with the porch, bal

The Lady and the Car window.

One Of the most robust and self satisfied
of the small annoyances Of civilized life is
the passenger car window that won't stay
up. It Is even more exasperating than its
twin annoyance, the car window that won't
go up, for the latter can give you but one
unpleasant moment-when It springs its
little game-while the former keeps rub
bing it In, as it were, as 1t again and again
sneaks down its sgrooves and shuts out the
refreshing breeze. These few remarks are
the prelude to short story of real life on
Reading railroad train that was bound
for New York. The victim Of the wouldn't
stay up window was of the bad natured
fat man type, and he was gradually working
himself into a state Of purple faced wrath
that threatened an explosion of star
spangled language of the gaudiest hue.
On the opposite side of the car sat sedste
old Quaker lady, clad in the dovelike ha-
biliments Of the strict members of that
sect, and she watched the rising of the fat
mans wrath with considerable agitation.
Finally she judged that the time had
come for action. so -0nenina n. sntchsl shG

Why the People Smile

There is an honest and jolly butcher
who does business in Eighth avenue not
far from the Central park entrance. He
is large and heavy man, his wife is al
most as heavy, and his grown daughter
weighs nearly 200 pounds. 1t is custom
ary for this weighty family to take a
ride in the butchers delivery wagon
every Sunday afternoon, and the trio,
dressed in Sunday finery, present very
imposing appearance. The women are
particularly fond Of bright colors. One
or two Sundays ago this party arrived
on Riverside drive and attracted much
attention. The complacent butcher and
his female companions seemed to more
than fill the stout wagon, and doubtless
they were wholly unconscious Of the
reason for the inerriment caused by
their appearance. On each side Of the
wagon was painted in bold, black let
ters, Dressed Beef."--New York Times.

Hydrophobia from q SNOWFALL.

A strange case has come to light near
Cairo, Pa. Howard Davis, aged eight
years, has for some time past exhibited
signs of hydrophobia. He has been in
bed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Smith, who had taken him from the
Fairmont home, and was barking and
swapping like dog. At times it was all
those present could do to keep the boy
in bed. The boy had been bitten in the
hand by dog in 1885, while he was in
the family of Ezra Moore.
The present trouble is not thought to
DO hydrophobia by the attending physi-
clan. He says it undoubtedly resulted
from q SNOWFALL, which hit the boy q
hard blow above the heart. The marks
of the blow were visible. The little fell
low is resting easy at present.-Cairo

eral days after. The next Saturday, it
Is alleged, Mrs. Frank Zoeller, q daugh-
ter-in-law Of the dead woman, residing
on East Eighth and Sycamore streets,
was surprised to observe perfect rep
resentation Of the head Of her mother
in-law at the window of her house. The
apparition was afterward seen by Mrs.
Peter Weinman, Fritz Weinman, two
daughters of Officer Dennis Gleason and
several others.
After the second visit perfect picture
of the deceased was left on the window
pane. Several persons, it Is claimed, at
tempted to rub it off, but the picture re-
manned until Saturday evening, when

who had just arrived from the far west,
having been called to his mothers
funeral, passed his handkerchief over it.

Couldn't collect with a Club.

II is astonishing how history repeats
Itself. For centuries we have been try
ixg to perfect the laws SO that no trace
might be left Of "the good old rule, the
simple plan, that he may take who has
the right, and he may keep who can"
Still we are long ways from the mil
lennium, and every once in awhile some
worthy citizen relapses to the feudal
principle Of trying to punch the head of
creditor when he fails to observe the
sacred traditions of steamship day. An
exasperated Market street tailor way
laid a frisky advertising agent the other
evening on the steps Of his boarding
house and collared him.
"If you don't pay me that bill this in
slant I'll club the life out Of you," said
the victimized tradesman. The adver-
Using agent cast an anxious look around
and there wasn't q soul in sight. Every
one was in the crowded dining room.
His resolve was instantly taken.
"Come right into the parlor and Ill
give it to you," he said, with smile,
and the man with the bludgeon released
his grip on his collar and followed him
until the swinging doors Of the dining
room flew open and the astonished tailor
stood confronting the staring crowd.
"Do any of you ladies and gentlemen
know this man" asked the agent. The
boarders glared over their knives and
forks and shook their heads. 81 thought
not. / found the fellow out in the cor
ridor trying one of the doors with q
skeleton key, and I guess he's the man

The positive resistance and declarations
Of the creditor only made his case worse,
and when the help got through busting
him with his own club the ashman would
have hesitated to pick him up from the
sidewalk.-San Francisco Chronicle.

4 NfcfOuA Hawk.

An Auburn business man and q friend
were out hunting the other day. A big
hawk few over their heads and they
blazed away at him. The shot broke
the birds wing and he came to the
ground, ahghting on his back. He was
unable to turn over and get upon his
feet, but was lively just the same, as the
Auburn hunters found before they sue
ceeded in killing him.
The business man placed the ramrod
Of his gun in the hawks big, grasping
claws, all of which straightaway closed,
like the jaws of an enraged mud turtle
swapping at stick in the hands Of mis-
chievous boy. With the claws thus
taken care of the business mans friend
proceeded to wiring the birds neck. In
the earlier stages of the operation the
harder tho friend worked the tighter
would the hawk grasp the. iron ramrod
and flap its wings.
All this was fun for the hunters, who
after long struggle declared them
selves winners Of the scrap. They had
hardly 80 proclaimed when the bird got
his wind, and leaving the ramrod vi
ciously attacked his prosecutors.
As fate would have it, the business
mans friend, being nearest, was the first
to catch it. The hawk lighted on his
wrist, and the way he stuck there was q
caution. One claw sunk deep into the
hunters wrist, and he called loud and
long for mercy.
The business man, seeing that some
thing must be done at the risk Of his
life, finally went to his friends rescue.
He got good hold on the sunken claw,
braced his feet against rock, and was
successful in pulling it out As the
claw came out, the hawk fell back and
in a moment was still in death. They
found that the birds wings measured
three feet and ten inches from tip to tip.

a New Lifeboat.

A new kind of lifeboat has been CON
gtructed to the order of the Boulogne
Humane society on model designed by
one Of its members. The construction
Of the new boat is simple and econom-
icM and could be adapted to any sea-
going rowing boat. The invention con-
sists in the introduction of air tight cop
per chambers, broad ut the gunwale
and diminishing at the bilge, placed on
the outside Of the boat. where they are
equally distributed, so as not to interfere
with the sweep of the oars. The tops Of
the chambers shelve down outward,
forming smooth gunwale. ten inches
broad amidships and tapering away fore
and aft
These compartments are protected
from injury by casing forming double
bulwarks, inasmuch as the shape Of the
hall preserves perfectly its boatlike ap-
pearances. 1t means really little
more beam and consequently more sta
bility. The proposed new feature does
not at all affect the speed of the vessel.
In addition to these compartments cham
bers can be fitted fore and aft. It has
been usual to place the air or cork lined
chambers inside hfeboats, especially on
board of ships lifeboats.
The outward application of these air
sases gives greater solidity to the boats
side in the event Of being STAYED in, and
will tend to prevent accidents such as
happen through people bringing their
weight to bear ON one side of a boat when
pulling person out Of the water. A
boat fitted as described has been tested
with the combined weight Of six persons
assembled on one side.
All this weight failed to overturn the
boat. the water tight compartments
brought into contact with the water
resulting only in giving the boat par
tial list and so far proving its resisting
power and buoyancy. The new boat is
