Seals,

Young seals do not know how to
swim. They have to become gradually
accustomed to the water, either by en-
tering it to paddle about of themselves
or by being carried into it in the moth

waves that break into foam, and, rs
soon as they see one approaching,
they take to flight in terror, and do not
turn around until they have ascended
to a very high place above the sea- AT

for Nine YearS-HOw She Was Cured.
From the Newark, n. j.. Evening News)
Nalvular disease of the heart has al
ways been considered incIrable. The fol-
lowing interview, therefore, will interest
the medical profession, since it describes
the successful use of new treatment for
this disease. The patient is Mrs. Geo.
Archer, of Clifton, y. j., and this publ
cation by the News is the first mention Of
the case made by any newspaper. All
physicians consulted pronounced the pa
tient suffering with yalvular disease of
the heart, and treated her without the
slightest relief. Mrs. Archer said: Il
could not walk across the floor; neither
could | go up stairs without stopping TO
let the pain in my chest and left arm
cease. / felt an awful construction about
my arm and chest as though | were tied
with ropes. Then there was n terrible
noise at my right ear, like the labored
breathing of some great animal. l have
often turned expecting to see some crea-
ture at my side.

was at Sprineficld Mass, visiting, and
my mother showed me an account in the

to feel in my chest and arm gradually dis
appeared. The blood has returned to my

w. Douglass, of Ell PaSO. "The citi
zens of the village of Las Cruces, y. NJ,

They had done this till the sand,
dust, and manure had become thor
ouShly mixed, the manure predomin-
ating. 1t seldom rains in that part of
the country, and the manure was dry
as powder. From some cause it caught
fire in the western part of the vii
lage just as one of New MeXico'S
typical sandstOrms was rising. The
wind soon became 4 strong gale and
the fire spread rapidly. In less than
twenty minutes the whirling wind had
carried the fire into all parts of the
main streets which had been graded
with stable stuff. Dense clouds of
smoke rolled over the buildings and
out on the plains. The whole heavens
were darkened, and it was q grand
sight to see great columns of smoke, fire.

darling away toward the mountains.
Had the town not been built of mud it
would certainly have been destroyed.

grade as material aceumulates. st

kENMEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF R0XBURY, MASS,

Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst SCrofula
down to common Pimpe.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of its value, all within twenty miles of
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in week
after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Sold by all Druggists.

~appreciative one, rendered hearty re
'ognition to the good friends from a
distance who so kindly aided in making
u success of the entertainment. one
and all are loud in their praise of our
nome talent, which was really a sur
prise to many present. We can not
spare space to in~diyidualize, but will
say that all did exceedingly well, and
no n present mad the least cause to
feel ashamed of Jonesboro's musical
talent as exhibited on the occasion
The Church was handsomely decorated,
and the audience were fully satisfied
with the concert and all connected
Herewith. A neat sum was raised,
which will be used in repairing the
building. Let us have more such en-.
