Two Remarkable Cures.

An old Irish womau's COW was sick
unto death, so she turned to the priest
70 save it. "Ican t do any thing to keep
your COW from dying" he said impa-
tiently.
Faith an begorrs it's you that can if
any one can" she answered in simple
faith.
Unwilling to have her reverence in
him shaken, the old man went to her
cabin. The sick COW was brought out
into the yard and propped up, then the
priest began a solemn march around it,
chanting monotonously, "If you die,

Slept Fifty seven Years.

Irving's "Trip Van Winkle" is be
lieved to have its foundation in the
wonderful story which Pliny relates
concerning the extraordinary expert
ence of shepherd named Epimenides.
The scene is laid in Crete, the time sum-
mer, and Epimenides boy of some is
years. During the very warmest part
of the day he found that some of the
sheep we're missing and at about the
same time heard prolonged bleatings
from the almost inaccessible portions
of neighboring mountain. He grasp
ed his crook and started off in the
direction of the sounds. The path was
a very difficult one to travel over, the
day hot, so that long before he reached
the stray sheep he was SO ovecome
with fatigue that he lay down in a, dry
place in cool cavern to sleep. He
slept, so Pliny gravely informs us, 81
years.
At last when he had finally managed
to shake off the terrible lethargy that
had held him spellbound for more than
half a century, he returned to the herd
only to find a brother younger than
himself tottering, gray haired grand
father. That ill wind" proverb is
very appropriate in this case, for we
find that Epimenides' enforced slum-
bers had endowed him with miracu-
lous powers. He became a great epic
poet and Gnostic philosopher and even
defied death itself for nearly three CEN
turies, not dying until after he had
celebrated his two hundred and eighty
fifth birthday.-St. Louis Republic.

children and brought the farm into
good condition. She paid the mort
gage, and when she died she left a good
property free and clear of all debts.
The boys hadn't the old lady's spunk,
for theresa a mortgage up there now,
and nothing in the world but laziness
did it. They had everything left ready
to their hands and amt had no draw
backs, 'cept losin their mother, but
somehow the weeds have got the start
of 'em and guess they'll keep it. "

La Crime.

During the prevalence of the grippe
the past seasons it was noticeable
fact that those who depended upon DR..
Kings New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all Of the
troublesome after effects OF the malady.
This remedy seems to have peculiar
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of la Grippe, butin all diseases
of throat, chest and lungs. and has
cured cases of asthma and hay fever of
long standing. Try 1t and be convinced.

The so called deathwatch, dreaded by
the superstitious,is lis small beetle which
has very powerful joint in its neck

The noise is similar to that which may
be produced by tapping with the finger

General ButIer's Courage.

After Iincoln's assassination General
Butler occupied n suite of rooms on the first
floor of Wizards hotel in Washington.
One afternoon the general and his secrets-
ry, Mr.. Batchelder, were seated at a table
near the window of one of the rooms, when
Mr.. Batchelder noticed that large crowd
had collected and were gazing at and max
ing comments on the general, who was in
plain view from the street. 1t having been
common report that not only the lives of
Lincoln and Seward, but of Grant and But
Ter were to be sacrificed, Mr.. Batchelder be-
came nervous and finally got up and pulled
down the blinds.
The general looked up and said: What 5
the matter, Batchelder2 Why are you pull
ing down the blinds:"
oh" said Mr.. Batchelder Il thought it
was getting rather late"
Nonsense, Batchelder," said the general
Put them up again"
But, general" said Mr. Batchelder,
there is great crowd outside the window
and there is no telling what violence they
may attempt"
General Butler snorted cOntemptuously

young secretary had the seat nearer the
window, and l will change seats with you,

Strong and Weak Spelling.

Speaking in broad and general way, and
admitting that every one is likely to mis-
spell a word of the English language at
some time in his life, spoilers may be di-
vided into two classes-the strong spoilers
and the weak spoilers" hshat strong
spelling'' means may be illustrated by the
photographed maxim ard practice of an
excellent gentleman who is now dead His
rule was, Never misspell word for want
of putting in enough letters Acting on
this principle, he spelled girl gearle, do doe
and get gette.
This trait would seem to indicate a lib
eral disposition, and this gentleman was
certainly very literally minded man. His
strong spelling" did not prevent him from
serving the public acceptably in several ca
pacties.
Another strong speller always insisted
upon writing the word perhaps" thus, per
hapse Though he was frequently remon-
strated with and repeatedly told that there
was no final on the word, he continued to
spell it that way.
A thoroughly strong speller" always
seems to be accorded a certain sympathy
and even admiration by those who oriina-
rily spell correctly while weak speller' IS
always laughed at. What weak spelling
means may be illustrated by the case of a
gentleman who recently wrote ''enthus;-
asm" thus, eltheusan, and who generally
spells suggest sojest.
The same gentleman is known to have
spelled penalty pelenty, but a peculiarly
of his case is that he never nlispronounces
a word and always appears in conversation
what he certainly is, cultivated gentle
man.-Youth's Companion
