A Greek died in the small town of
Caracal, having always lived ON the
aims of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat which
he wore every day. The poor woman
had to ask the Greeks of Caracal to help
her to provide the costs Of the funeral.
A good hearted Greek went to see her in
her affection, and pointing to the body
said he would give her a better coat to
bury the man in. Then she told him of
the dead mans last wish. The Greek,
whose suspicious were awakened, told
her that she should certainly not part
with the body before she had we'll exam

particular reason for the request. The

The God Of the Gypsies.

The gypsies know nothing whatever Of
heaven or a future state of rest for the
righteous dead, their vocabulary having
no word that conforms with our words
paradise" ''heaven," beautiful city"
etc. They know of a god which they
call "devel" and of a devil called ''beng."
Beng" has a home. or an abiding place,
called "bengipe," but their ''devel," or
god, hath not where to lay his head"
and is only recognized as a wandering
spirit floating about in the upper regions
of the air. They have a mortal terror
of both "beng" and "devel." but this
does not prevent them from cursing both
god and devil whenever anything goes
wrong.
They believe beng to be much su-
perior to the "devel," not only in point
of physical proportions, but in his powers
over the world and the human race, as
well as in his greater intellectually.
"Devel" a be exercised with pure cold
water, but beng will take nothing
short of brandy or Wine. Edgar Wake

lieve that they were the original fire wor-
shippers, and cite many facts to prove the
correctness Of their conclusions.-St.

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years of Established Merit !
NOTE OF WARNING!
THE PUBLIC:

10 THE
DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.
As a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DIR. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is adj
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine we'll
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
LC newspapers Wv 1IOG lie III Jill
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter of
much concern to us, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE E. KELLEY co.
Curtis J.. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, n. c.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to us it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warning.

An effective and greatly simphfed
method of producing a Photographic
representation in the form of an intaglio
engraving, or, as it is generally called, a
''photogravure," is being introduced.
The new method is intended @e reduce
the time occupied in the process, which
usually takes many days to a few hours.
and to dispense entirely with the supple
mentary aid of the skillful engraver.
Its essential feature lies in the fact that
the picture, instead of being obtained
from a graduated depth of the engraving,
is produced from a sunken surface of
uniform depth, the gradations of light,
half tone and shade being effected by
minute lines and stipples of varying
thickness, but of uniform distance apart
from center to center.
The picture is made up of equidistant
stipples. varying from a microscopic
point up to a size where they coalesce in
a solid black, the half tones consisting Of
stipples about 1-4O0th Of An inch in di-
ameter. If a coarse stipple is used the
effect varies from that of mezzotint and
approaches more nearly that Of a line Of
engraving. the light shades being made
up of ~perceptible lines and stipples. like
the effects of a steel or copper plate en-
craving of equal texture Pittsburg
