DR.. SHOOP, w Rssans;
HAS DISCOVERED THE
Cause of Chronic Diseases.


People have taken "Blood Purifiers {"
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
DR.. Shoop has taken step in advance
of all others, by giving special study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain nerUes have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all Internal organs. When
these nerves are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack Of nerve force.
DIR. Shops Restorative is a
stomach, liver and kidney cure, as it acts
upon the nerves that control these organs.

4 BAD FoR4Y-FwG MINUTES.
How Northern Private Was Kept In
Ticklish Position.


A private IN the Seventy-6fth New York
regiment during the war was one Schermer-
horn, whom everybody called skinny
for short, and of whom Mr.. George Sey-
mour of this city tells the following story:
SKINNY enlisted under the impression that
the country would not require his services
longer than two or three months, and the
trip to the front assumed the aspect of an
excursion or picnic to him. The regiment
fought its way down into Louisiana, and
one day the boys found themselves near
Brashcar About two dozen Of them were
deployed as sharpshooters, and as the
enemy was acting very lively the sharp
shooters scattered out to find the best posi-
tions for effective work.
After an hours quiet blazing away at the
Confederates Seymour started for a spot
some distance on his left, which appeared
to offer better advantages for his line Of
business. On the way through a piece of
woods he was Joined by two Of his COM
rades, who proposed to go with him. The
trio were just nearing the opening when
they saw a short distance away their com
rade Skinny sitting bolt upright in the
crotch of a rail fence without his gun, and
the Confederate sharpshooters sending the
bullets at him like hail.
They were at a loss to understand the sit
uation at first, but on closer examination
they discovered little specimen sitting 20
feet away on the ground with his gun
pointed at Skinny, and laughingand sing
ing every time bullet whizzed blythe poor
fellows body. Coming on the rascal from
the rear, they put a stop to his fun by max
ing him prisoner.
skinny climbed down from his perch
and delivered few earnest remarks. Said
he: Boys, I've always allowed could lick
any four rebels that run agin me, but /
want to count that little whiffet out Of the
crowd. Why, the burned little cuss has
kept me settin in that crotch for three
quarters of an hour, and I'll bet 500 bullets
have passed me in shat time. I've lost a
| finger and there's a furrow plowed along
one side Of my head. If we take him ia
camp, III never hear the last of it, Let him
! skip and keep it to ourselves"

/ never got TO the ears of the commanding

A Joker Among Birds.

The blueiay is the most persistent
practical joker in the feathered king
dom. He will conceal himself in a
clump Of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gather,
and when they are enjoying themselves
in their own fashion will suddenly
frighten them almost to death by
screaming out like a hawk. OF course
they scatter in every direction, and when
they do so the mischievous rascal gives
vent to a cackle that sounds very much
like a laugh. If he confined his pranks
to such jokes as this, however, he would
not be such a bad neighbor to birds
smaller than himself, but when he
amuses himself 10y breaking the eggs in
their nests and tearing the young to
pieces with his bill he becomes a pesti-
lent nuisance, and they often combine
their forces to drive him out of the
neighborhood. They do not always
succeed, for he is as full Of fight as of
mischief, but a severe conflict teaches
him that they, too, have their rights, and
this induces him to mend his Manners

Fishing for sponges.

The British consul in his report on the
trade Of Tripoi remarks that the sponge
fishery on that coast is entirely in the
hands of Greeks, and is carried on by
means Of numerous small craft, employ
ing about zoo men among them. TIE
fishing takes place in the summer months
only and is effected by machine boats
provided with proper diving apparatus,
or by trawlers and harpoon boats. The
diving machines, as the divers have time
to select and cut them. naturally secure
the best sponges, but the trawl nets and
harpoon boats, which can only fish in
comparatively shallow waters, to a great
er or less extent damage the sponges by
tearing them from the bottom.
The best sponges are found to the
westward Of Tripoli, the quality becom-
ing inferior toward the east. The div
ing is dangerous, owing to the presence
Of sharks, and other accidents 10 be met
with, such as remaining too long under
the water or diving beyond the proper
limits, which often exhausts the divers
and proves fatal to them. - English

What Becomes of the "Tomboy."
And what Of that little nondescript
known as the tomboy? What becomes
Of the romping, hoydenish girl who
much prefers the society of the naughti-
est boys to the nice, well behaved
daughters of respectable neighbors. and
who cannot endure the quiet games
with the aforementioned cherubs and
their meek dolls. who have such tire
some fashion of forever smiling up into
Snes face
Does she still continue to enjoy mas
culine sports when she has arrived at
years Of discretion? Is she still inclined
to torn frocl1s, disheveled locks aud an
adherence of all those things girls hold
most dear? As far as our observation
goes we would most fatty say no, quite
the reverse. The greatest toinboy we
ever knew turned out to be the most
demure creature at twenty that we could
imagine.
She took to fancy work and hospital
visiting with a vigor that seemed must
be meant to atone for all those years
when she could not be induced, save an-
der the threat Of being kept in the house,
to take up a needle and struggle with
the unhappy bit Of patchwork that never
seemed to progress beyond a most un-
slightly square that had been used to
wipe away the tears from very dirty
little face bent over the obnoxious bit of
ladyhke employment, and the hospitals
served to make up for the adherence of
those childish days Of anything that
savored Of respectable self sacrifice.
Many other instances we have known
where the most charming women have
been evolved from the rude little tom
boy girl; therefore, mothers, do not de
spair if the small daughter shows q
decided penchant for tops and marbles
rather than dolls and sewing.-Philadel

A story from Paris.


Twas residing in Paris as representa-
tive Of a London firm. An English girl,
who accompanied my wife to the French
capital as upper servant, was married
soon after our arrival there to a young
French artisan, who almost immediate
ly disappeared. He had been knocked
down by a runaway team and wounded
in the head. He was conveyed TO a hos
pital, and when he recovered his past
life was a blank to him. He could not
even remember his name. He drifted
about, living upon charity, until strong
enough TO work, when he secured en-
ployment, and by industry and economy
acquired a snug little sum of money.
One day his wife met him and threw
herself into his arms. He did not re-
member her, but seemed delighted to
meet one who knew him and tell him Of
his past life. He came home with her,
and both my wife and myself identified
him. He did not yet realize his rela-
tionship to the young woman, but asked
if she was not his sister. thought the
young wife's heart would break. l be-
heved the fellow was shamming and
spoke to him pretty sharply. He then
told his story and referred me to the
hospital physician, who certified to its
truth. He was perfectly sane, but could
not recall a single instance in his life
prior to the time he was run down ir
the streets. He accepted his wife, re.
sumed his name and they are very
happy together, but the first twenty five
years Of his life are still blank to him.
