KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.

beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,

profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them an3it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man.

Marked With O Hand.

Ira Moore, negro farm laborer
living two miles distant from the city
of Humboldt, Tenn, is declared to
have the plain and perfect mark of a
mans hand on his breast. The mark
has the appearance of the impression
Of a human hand in clay.
The mans son, Frank, 35 years old,
has the same mark on his breast even
more perfect. The finger joints and
creasos in the palms are distinctly
marked. The old man says this is a
family mark, and that his father had
the same mark on his breast Ordi-
narily this would be called birth
mark, but its having appeared in
three generations, and possibly more,
makes it a very strange freak of ma
ture. Ira Moore, as he relates 1t, saw
a rough time in South Carolina when
slave, for being unruly, as he
claims to be a defendant of an Afri'
can king and somewhat of q ruler
himself.

GENERAL USES FOR SILVER.

A very pertinent and timely sug-
gcstion for the increased consumption
Of the, now rapidly growing, surplus
of silver bullion has been offered, call
ing to mind the many uses to which
the metal may be put in the manu-
facture of articles in general domes-
tic use. The suggestion alluded to is
couched in the following terms:
Let us use the surplus silver in
another way and give Uncle Sam e
rest. jewelers. are offering their
wares lower than ever betore-mak-
ing hay while the sun shines. For
instance, the writer had occasion not
long ago to buy one silver teaspoon
it SO cheap that the jeweler demurred
about marking it. Let us see how
cheap it was. 1t was a very heavy
and strong one, plain, no work on it
except that Of the dies; it was pressed
in-no more, in fact, than on britain
nic metal spoons that are sold at a
few cents per set. The spoon cost
So and it weighs 429 grains-is prob
ably nine-t -tenths fine, or contains 1887
grains of pure silver-worth, at 70
cents per ounce, about 81 cents. 1t
could be made and sold at fair profit
by the manufacturer for 65 cents. 1t
doesn't seem as if the jeweler was los
ing much in selling this spoon for $2.
Now, silver is the best known mater
ial for spoons, forks and many other
table articles. A teaspoon just weigh
ed has been in service fifty years--its
shape shows that it never was II very
heavy one and now it weighs 80
grains.
Let the hardware manufacturers
take up the manufacture of silver and
give US silver spoons, forks, teapots,
coffee pots, etc-ware that will not
melt down If it happens to stand on
the stove. A hundred articles Of
household ware could be named.
Make them plain, leave the elaborate
work to the jewellers and let the peo-
pie who can afford it pay their profits.
Let us have articles Of known value
bought at the hardware stores by the
ounce, for what they are worth, set
of teaspoons costing from $3 to 81,
and other articles in proportion, and
the silver surplus will go into the
homes of the people to be melted
down some time in future when silver
is worth more than it is now--or
when individual need requires draw
ing on this fund. If silver could be
manufactured and sold in this way its
intrinsic value would make it n good
investment for even the poorest day
laborer and the country could and
would absorb all there is to be had.

CURED BY FAITH.
Miss BERTHE Curan's Wonderful and
instantaneous Cure at Dallas.

The following truly wonderful e1-
perience, with every attestation oil
truth and fully corrobarated by re-
sponsible persons, as related in the
main by the young lady herself, comes
from Dallas Tex.
AT his home two and one half miles
north of Sulphur Springs lives Will
liam Crusan, who Is well known in
this city and county. His sister, Ber-
tie Crusan, a young lady scarcely
merging from her teens, makes her
home with her brother. This brother
and sister are Seventh Day Adventists,
a sect which believes in works per-
formed by faith, and the devout fol
lowers of this religion offer their
trusting prayers TO God and yearly
give one-tenth of their earnings to
Him.
The brother is a Seventh Day Ad-
ventist preacher and holds services at
Black Jack Grove, Dallas and Oak
Cliff. The sister, too, is christian
worker and is noted for her piety.
She distributest racts and earns live
lihood by selling different kinds Of
christian literature. Two years ago
she canvassed this city, and DR.. N. M.
Rose admiring her for her pursuit
of an honest living and christian-like
and womanly bearing, invited her to
stay at his home, which she did for
two weeks.
A few days ago she was at his
home again and related wonderful
story Of a faith cure with herself as
the subject. She had just returned
from Dallas, where, while engaged in
her business, was thrown from bug
gy and her arm was dislocated at the
= elbow, causing her excruCiating tor
ture. A physician was called and af-
> ter three hours work the joint was
replaced in position and bound with
: many yards of bandage. This was 2
9 o'clock in the afternoon, and when at
supper time she was left by herself
J. she found the pain so intense that she
Il decided to ask the Lord to respite hel
e from her distracting torture. Sh'
. struggled out Of bed and kneelini
down with eyes cast heavenwar'
S and prayed the good Lord that, If
+ be His will to heal her arm, to do so.
1t was so willed. In a moment tn
o agonizing pain had ceased and sh
V arose and unwound the bandages. II
:. her astonished friends she gave tn
simple explanation that she had been
y cured by faith in God The next day
she returned to her work as if moth
ing had happened. She chanced tt
meet the astonished druggist who as
! sisted in setting and bandaging he
. arm. He was incredulous of he
: marvellous cure until she convinced
;, him by freely moving the injured arm
= that one was as sound as the other.
Or. Rose fully believes the stor
1 and can give the names of parties il
3, Dallas who will substantiate the state
s ment. The Bible says that faith II
larger than a mustard seed can NOV
v mountains.

Wreck on the Cotton Belt.

Quite a serious wreck occurred on
the Cotton Belt railway last night,
near the little town of Ingersoll, fif-
teen miles west of this city. A freight
train, consisting of 1S or 20 cars, was
derailed and eight of that number
were badly smashed up. Owing to
the condition of the track, the same
being torn up for fully one hundred
yards, the East and West bound pas
senger trains, over that line, were
both delayed for some hours.

BANKER CLEws SPEAKS.
The Famous Financier Suggests an
Issue to the Treasury Department.

Comptroller Eckles acknowledges
the receipt of a letter from the well
known banker, Henry Clews, which,
in view of the present complicated fl
nancial situation, will prove of pecu-
liar interest to the general reading
public The document reads as fol-
lows:
"The national banking act certainly
should be amended to provide for
notes being issued up to the par value
of United States bonds, and another
amendment would also be wise to
provide for an issue of notes against
the surplus capital Of the national
banks to the extent of rs per cent
thereof These two changes in the
law would make an increase in nation
al currency amounting to about $3.50
| 100000, and would provide the nation
with enough new money for its needs
and it would be the best and most le-
gitimate kind besides. The New
York banks now have a surplus over
capital of $7O,OOO,OOO. The national
banks of other cities and elsewhere
have probably $1OO,OOOOOO IN addi-
ton. The backing in cash or its
equivalent to the notes issued against
the same, would make them the
strongest and most legitimate Charac,
ter of money in circulation. Nc
stronger kind Of money could be de-
Vised. The surplus against which the
issue of notes would be made would
be under the national bank examiner
The constant increase in the surplus
of banks would give an elastic charac
ter to such money, which is very de
sirable feature.

The Approaching Dinner Hour

The Approaching Dinner Hour
Is fraught with no pleasant anticipa-
tions fer the unhappy mortal plagued
with dyspepsia. Appetite seldom,
discomfort after and between meals,
always is his portion. HEARTBURN
and natulence subsequent to eating,
gnawing at the pit Of the stomach be-
fore it, are only few among the
woes arising from this truly impish
complaint. Sick headache, nervous
ness, constipation and biliousness are
its diabolical offspring. Each and all
of them are annihilated by Hostetters

gastric organs and regulates the liver
and the bowels with certainty and
