Concerning Crinoline.

Concerning crinoline the following ex-
tract from the Dundee (Scotland) Adver-
tiser, Jan 5, 1909, has been I'M
earthed: Mr. Isaac Bickerstatfe, cen
sor of Great Britain, sitting in the court
of iudicature, had crinoline brought in
and hoisted by pulley to the roof of the
hall, where it formed a very splendid
and ample canopy over our heads and
covered the whole court of judicature
with a kind of silken rotunda, in its
form not unlike the Cupola Of st. Paul's
On inquiring for the person belonging to
the petticoat Mr. Bickerstaffe to his
great surprise, was directed to a very
pretty young damsel. My pretty maid,
he said, do you own yourself to have
been the inhabitant of the garment be-
fore us?'
THE young lady who wore this hoop
confessed that she did not like it, and
that she kept out Of it as long as she
could and till she began to appear little
in the eyes of all her acquaintance and
said she would be very glad to see an
example made of it. History does not
go on to relate in what manner the hoop
was censured bat the young lady, for
her modest and amiability and some
what for her good looks, received great
praise

Undemocratic France.

AS a matter of fact Frenchmen are
about the least democratic people in the
world in their social longings and ideals.
France is politically republic, but So
cially it keeps up most of the character
istics of an aristocracy. The difference
between her and America in this respect
is prodigious. In the United States it is
impossible to find man with a decora-
ton; in France it is difficult to find any
body without one. In spite of the revo-
luton titles are still maintained, and the
highest ambition of every bourgeois
would be satisfied if he could marry his
daughter to a nobleman. The Unsuitable
thirst to put on uniform of some kind,
no matter what, has often been used az
a reproach against our Gallo friends.--

TUE BURDEN BEARER.

There is big insulate wire in teleg-
raphy which transmits the bulk of daily
intelligence; there is big insulated nerve
in the human system which can bear the
burden of more pain than all the rest of the
nerves com bined, and is known as the sci
attic nerve. Sometimes the wire is cut to
cut off It's current sometimes the surgeons
knife is used TO cut the nerve to relieve ex-
cruciating pain. But there is one thing
which avoids this radical treatment; one
cure which penetrates to the pain spot, and
scatica has been cured almost without fail
by the use of St. Jacobs Oil 1t reaches
misery's seat and dethrones it. Thus at
tackled and routed in it's hidden am buscade
pain seldom returns to annoy. The great
remedy does its work we'll.

Trouble With IA Sword.

A Lewiston young man who was in
Portland Saturday night found some
antique Turkish swords in a window
on Congress street, and having a love
for art bought one for ornamental
purposes and asked that the clerk do it
up in paper Before he had gone half a
block the paper came off. The young
man was waiting for the Boston boat tc
start. He carried the sword about the
streets till people began to comment
upon it. Then he hid it under his ulster
and was standing on the corner talking
when it slipped down, striking on his toe
with the sharp point. He picked it up
again and hid it under his coat.
When he got into the theater, he was
about to be seated when he thought of
the sword under his coat. He could not
sit down until that sword came out, SO
unbuttoning the coat he held the sword
in his lap all the evening. AT midnight
when he went on board the boat one OF
the officers saw the sword and said, "You
may leave your valuables with the purs-
er."-BangOr Commercial.

nard's claim has been proved beyond all
! Controversy He is rs years old and very
vigorous, has been duly photographed and
listed, and the Cape Colony government
will grant him n pension.
1t was in 1865 that Lennard Jacobs, who
had already acquired enough white man s
knowledge to adopt Dutch name, came
from his frontier ranch to Pencil to receive
religious instruction from Mr.. kallenberg,
German missionary who had located
The missionary told him something about
geology and the opinion Of some men of
science that South Africa would prove dia-
mondiferous. Lennard had never heard
of diamond and when it was described
to him declared that his children had bright
stones Of that sort for playthings. Then,
said the missionary, try them in hot
fire, and if one withstands it while your
pulse beats five times or more it is dia-
mond, but those which pop in the heat are
common crystals and of no value"
Lennard made the trial and found one
stone which did not "pop," but during
his absence his children bartered it to a
trader for few trinkets. This convinced
the shrewd Korannah that it was of some
value, so he FASTENED to the field cornet of
the district, and together they hunted up
tll6 lEduCE anu dlIGE SOllC lTOuDlG ICCON6I-
ed the stone Lennard fastened to the
mission, but Mr.. Kallenberg was gone,
and no one there knew anything about
diamonds. Mr. Godfrey Radoff, the store
keeper, took it, and after various delays it
reached Port Elizabeth, where an expert
from Amsterdam pronounced it a true dia-
mond. Sir Philip Wodehouse, governor
of that colony, paid $500 for it, naming it
the Star of South Africa" and it re-
mains in his family today.
Old Lennard received from Godfrey Rad
loft a horse, wagon, some sheep and lit
tie money, but that was the end of his
money making in that line He is above
the average of his tribe in intelligence,
but on a level with most of them in gen.
eral poverty Another diamond of 214
carats was found on the Orange river in
1868 and several in 1870. Then the great
rush began, and soon such quantities were
uneartbed that there was a panic in all
the great diamond markets and stones OF
average size fell one-half in value. The
large yellow ones declined 20 per cent in
five years. The present output from Kim
berley, though it is enormous, is carefully
regulated not to food the market.

WHY A PREACHER WAS ANGERED.
The Congregation Saw the Ludicrous Side
of an Illustration.

The Congregation Saw the Ludicrous Side
of an Illustration.
He was very solemn person, a clergy
man of pronounced views, a man of wealth
and position; he was naturally invited to
take the chair at functions of Importance
such as a religious meeting, or a lecture
when the subject was not frivolous; he held
tenaciOusly to the doctrine that we must all
know our own place-a very good doctrine
when we are persuaded that our own place
is good deal higher up; he was Protes-
tant by conviction, but he would not allow
freedom of thought; he was great on author
ity, especially the authority of the church;
he regretted the abolition of stocks and pill
Tory and lamented that as a magistrate he
could no longer order the head borough
we have no head boroughs now-to whip the
sturdy rogue out of the town.
He was, in short, such a man as the
younger reader does not understand. But
an event happened which put an end to his
taking the chair. He would never take the
chair again, whatever the occasion, for they
actually laughed at him. They laughed at
him in public.
The occasion was missionary meeting
A native convert was expected. The rev.
erend chairman, when they had sung the
usual opening hymn, rose maJeStlCallY.
After a few general remarks he pointed to
the dark and interesting convert, who I'M
fortunately resembled recent visitor to
the town-the bones of a wandering min
strel troop-especially when he rolled his
eyes. My friends" he said, Il have now
to introduce to you one who comes from a
| country where, as the poet Heber says, only
man-ahem-man alone-man alone-is
vile"
Bones, who was not without a sense OF
humor, rolled his eyes and grinned from
ear to ear. The house, am sorry to say,
responded with a fit of laughter that was
long, contagious, infectious and universal.
The chairman rose in wrath. He silenced
them with an awful gesture. Then he be-
gan again. He repeated his words. He did
not see the joke. Again they laughed loud
/ and long Then the chairman solemnly
4 stalled out of the room, followed by Bones.
! And that is the reason why he never would
/ take the chair again. 1t is also the reason
/ why his sermons ever after treated of the
! wickedness of the age and the sinfulness OF
! the sin of soothing. -Walter Besant in Lon

haunted house in these practical and unrO-

dividual haunted with the idea that h sHilment
is incurable is a parsonage frequently met with.

from many different sources would almost seem
to justify the doubt. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
dyspepsia, constipation, liver and kidney

90 %

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease be cured
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like Pailfaii1eS

living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is durable

centzge Of cases, and we believe, JulLy 95
per cent are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter, great loss OF flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness,
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
iCal Discovery " we're genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them and who were often
strongly prejudiCed and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"

fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsiOns and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,

African Slave Caravans.

The English cruisers may have checked
the slave trade on the eastern coast, but
the caravan route from central Africa to
the shores of the Mediterranean is still
the scene of all the horrors Of which
Livingstone wrote. Mr.. G. H. Allen,
secretary of the Antislayery society, last
summer reported that a caravan of 1O,-
900 camels and 1000 slaves left Timbuc-
too for Morocco, and of this number 800
to 600 died of thirst in the desert. In
another caravan it is stated that out Of
800 slaves $50 died, and the survivors
were worth little from the privation and
hardships of the journey. Mr. Allen
says 1.-The desert route this year must
have proved more than unusually fatal,
but the atrocity of the trade cannot be
ignored" Yet there are Englishmen
who call for the abandonment of Uganda
and the region of Lake Nyanza, the re-
tention of which would give splendid
vantage ground for the ultimate sup
preston of the slave trade.-London

Keeping the Mouth. of Oysters Closed.

If the plans of Messrs Freeman, Hirst
and Thurston, three gentlemen from the
City of Brotherly Love who are now in
Chicago, do not miscarry, the oyster
business not only of Chicago, but of the
United States, will be revolutionized. By
a process invented by Mr. Freeman and
controlled by these gentlemen it is pos
sible to ship oysters in the shell to any
part of the country with the certainty
that upon their arrival at destination
they will be as fresh and delicious in
flavor as on the day they were shipped.
No chemical solutions or embalming
preparations are used to secure this re-
suit. The only thing aimed at is to pre-
vent the oyster committing suicide, and
little clamp of lead that prevents the
bivalve from opening his mouth is the
whole secret. Chicago Journal.
