Henry Wilson, the postmaster at
Welshton, Florida, says he cured a case
of diarrbea of long standing in six
hours, with one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
remedy. What pleasant surprise
that must have been to the sufferer.
Such cures are not unusual with this
remedy. In many instances only one
or two doses are required to give per-
manent relief. It can always be de-
pended upon. When reduced with wa

SNAPPED WIVES.

In granting divorce to Mrs. Smith
wife OF Rev. D. r. Smith, formerly OF
Winchester. Ind, late of Anderson and
now of Bellefontaine, Ohio, Judge Eli.
SOD, of Anderson, closed one of the
most peculiar and remarkable suits
ever brought in an Indiana court says
a special dispatch from Anderson, Ind,
to the Cincinnati Inquirer.
The story dates back some two years
ago, when Rev. Smith had a charge in
Randolph county, Ind. One of his par
ishioncrs and nearest neighbors was
Mrs. Fred Helm who was incumbered
By rather good looking husband and
family. Rev. Smith and Mrs. Helm
became friends. One day Smith con-
fronted Helm and boldly proposed that
they trade wives. Helm who had no.
ticed his wife's friendship for the min
ister readily consented Mrs. Helm
was anxious for the trade but Mrs.
Smith entered the most decisive ohjec-
ton to the contrary. Her objections
however were at last overruled by the
N ,jority. Accordingly when all the
terms of the trade had been agreed
upon the two men called justice of
the peace. When the squire ar
rived every detail of the exchange
was narrated to him and he
was expected by some process or other
to virtually annul their former mar
riages and reunite them according to
the new schedule. They lad it all
planned but the squire doubted his ju-
risdiction in the matter and refused to
carry out the well-laid plans.
Rev. Mr.. Smith then packed up his
household effects, resigned his charge,
and, taking his family, moved to An
derson, Ind, where he located. 1t was
not long until Helm closed out his busi-
uess and followed, bringing his wife
with him. Finally Rev. Mr.. Smith de-
serted his wife and brought suit for d.
vorce, alleging cruelty. Mrs. Helm
also instituted suit against her husband
for divorce. Smiths case was the first
to be tried. The divorce was denied.
After that trial Rev. Mr.. Smith went
to Michigan, where Mr.. Helm followed
him, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Helm re-
manning in Anderson Since then they
have removed to Bellefontaine, Ohio.
Mrs. Smith filed suit for divorce and
Judge Ellison granted the legal separa-
ton. Helm also has a suit pending,
and it is probable that it will be
granted.
The strange case has been closely
followed by people all over the State.
Rev. Mr. Smith being well and favor
ably known. He is young man and
is fluent talker.

RUSSIA.

On entering Russia one finds the
manners, customs, dress, language ana
even the coins different from those
of other countries in Europe. The
churches and house tops are often
painted sky-blue, gold-green or dark
hlue with silver stars. The peasants
or dav laborers, dwell in small cabins
with thatched roofs, usually without
chimneys. Many of the higher classes
are we'll educated, but the millions who
were once serfs, or slaves, are lgnoran1'
though schools are now increasing.

Lies Her Happiness.

It is a we'll authenticated fact, as we'll
authenticated, perhaps, as fact can
he. that ambition, in the common ac-
ceptation of the term, is a good thing
if exercised in the proper direction.
But it often happens, unfortunately
that persons are ambitious to enter
some sphere of life for which they are
not at all suited. If such an ambition
becomes so strong as to be the ruling
mower. the individual possessing 1t IS
indeed an object of pity. This is often
the condition of affairs among women
especially young women.
Man was created to perform MS
duties on earth, and woman hers.
Their respective duties are as far from
each other as the east from the west,
and we seldom find a man who is
desiring the work of woman's sphere,
and doing the same. Yet it is no un-
common occurrence for a woman tC
deviate greatly from the path the Crea
tor assigned to her, and seek fame
wealth and power through the pursuits
of man. 1t is fact, and most lament
able one, that such a course almos
. inyariable leads to the utter ruin O
her usefulness. Let me illustrate.
