LONG-LIVED CARP.
One Old Specimen In FontainbIeau L
Over Three Hundred Years Old.

One Old Specimen In FontainbIeau Is
Over Three Hundred Years Old.
When the fish commission, some years
ago, began to introduce carp into the
streams of this country it is doubtful if
they knew what a lasting monument
they were building. It is pretty gen
orally known, says the Washington
News, that the sluggish and, to fisher
men, despicable denizen of the water is
gifted with a tenure of life, barring
chance encounter with a hook. a big
black bass with his back up or other
vicissitudes of piscatorial existence.
which exceeds that of most creatures,
but the actual age that they do attain
under favorable circumstances is an
palling. There are very few fishermen
who haven't a yarn about some wily
old trout or bass that has been known
to frequent the same pool for many
years, but Assistant Secretary of State
Rockhill tells of carp that can give
any of these fish points on how to at
tain a long life. He says that in a
pond at at Fontainbleau there is. or
was when he was last there, a bar
nacled old carp that had been placed
in the pond in the reign of Francis 1.
AS that monarch hourished during the
sixteenth century, Mr.. Rockhill's carp
is considerably more than three hun
dred years old. To prevent any mis-
take by future generations the gentle
man who occupied the Office of commits
sioner of fish and fisheries for his royal
highness placed a metal tag in the oarp's
fin, and it is by this mark that the fish
is known from the others in this little
lake.

That's a good way to buy a medi-
eine, but it's pretty hard condition
under which to cell it. Perhaps
you've noticed that the ordinary
hit or miss medicine doesn't at
tempt it.
The only medicine of its kind SO
remarkable in its effects that it can
be sold on this plan is DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. AS a
blood-cleanser, strength-restorer, and
flesh-builder, there's nothing like it
known to medical science. In every
disease where the fault is in the
liver or the blood, as Dyspepsia, In
digestion, Biliousness, and the most
stubborn Skin, Scalp, and Scrofulous
affections, it is guaranteed in every
case to benefit or cure, or you have

Deafness Cannot he Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result. and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing bnt an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness tcaused by catar1 '

An Easy Test of diamonds.

Recent experiments by an expert
prove that the diamond emits light
when rubbed on wood, cloth or metal.
The fact that it becomes luminous by
rubbing on metal shows that the phe-
nomenon is not electric. AS imitation
diamonds and other hard stones do not
exhibit this phenomenon, the property
will be valuable as an easy test of the
genuineness of the diamond

Ter, and Mary Jane Tyler, who live near

she was suddenly attacked by the young
rascal and thrown to the ground. when the

the children of the neighborhood usually
take a short cut across it on their way TO

dence, Judge CCndict committed the cuprit
to jail at Rockville for action of the grand
jury in the November term. Upon examina-
ton of the child by DR.. Stone it was dis
covered that the ultimate purpose of the
prisoner was not accomplished. Further teS-
timony as to the bad character of the boy
was given.
AL the parties to the occurrence are white
and MIR. Tyler Is well-known in this Sec
ton OF Montgomery county, having lived
here a number of years.

Saturday evening in attendance upon the
entertainment given complimentary to Per-

occasion proved one of the most pronounc-

active temperance organization is held by
the community. The overture, Lucia di

ton of Mrs. Nj. j. Frear is now being ar

each a "Demorest" silver medal have en-

sion Mr.. Henry Smith will deliver a de-

The Most Attractive and the Most De-

This is the most dangerous season Of the year.
II may be pleasant, may often attractive,

That is why many people just now complain OF

Of appetite. spring fever and similar troubles.
The following is good advice from a prominen,

complaints, which result from a neglected cold
can always be avoided IL a timely remedy ID
taken When chilly sensations are felt they should
be stopped Immediately serious consequences
will follow. There is only one way known to the

to use a good, pure strong stimulant. Nothing

This valuable advice may be proftably followed
by many people who are suffering today from the

liable and effective. People should not. however.
