Mrs. Pepys' Temper.

Being at supper, my wife did say
something that caused me to oppose her
in. She used the word devil, which
vexed me, and, among other things, 1
said would not have her to use that
word, upon which she took me up most
scornfully, which, before Ashwell and
the rest of the world, l know not nova
days how to check, as would hereto
fore, for less than that would have
made me strike her. So that fear
without great discretion shall go near
to lose, too, my command over her, and
nothing do it more than giving her this
occasion of dancing and other pleasures,
whereby her mind is taken up from her
business and finds other sweets besides
pleasing of me, and so makes her that
she begins not at all to take pleasure in
me or study to please me as heretofore.

MARKED ALIKE.
q Weird Story of Two Men Whose Singular


Wounds We're the Same.
Il am not believer in ghosts, rein
carnations or the supernatural in any
shape, but had singular experience
some years ago which I have never been
able to account for satisfactorily, said
j. P. Lacroix Of Montreal. i.
ST was second mate of merchant ship
in 1882. Among the crew was a tough
customer named Lander, always in
trouble. He had a frightful scar, ex-
tending from brow to chin, the result
of dock fight He had a bullet wound
which had taken away the lobe Of his
right ear, besides peculiar protuber-
ance like a wen on his forehead. I
would take my oath there was not an
other man alive marked just like him.
At the end of that voyage Lander killed
his wife and cut his own throat. He
severed the windpipe, but he recovered.
The wound in his throat healed, but
left hole, which he had to cover with
his hand when he spoke. He breathed
through a silver tube. He was tried and
convicted, and happening to be in port
was present at the hanging and saw
the body buried
"In 1890 I was on the gold coast Of
Africa. Ashore one day came across a
man bossing gang of negro laborers.
His form seemed strangely familiar, and
started with surprise when saw him
place his hand over his throat when
giving some orders. Going closer, saw
the scar, the wen, the lobeless ear, the
hole in the throat, the silver tube and
every feature and characteristic Of a
man I saw hanged and buried. I got
into conversation with him. He said
his name was DAIMLER. He was unable
to tell how he came by the wound in
his throat, ear and face. He said he
must have had a long illness. He re-
membered being in a hospital, he said,
but it was like dream, and he had no
recollection of his life before that.
HE said he remembered, while still
ill, taking long voyage-he didn't
know where from-until he had landed
where I met him. He told me my face
looked like one he had seen in dream,
but he knew he had never seen me be-
FORE How do account for it? don't
try to. am only telling the facts. I
don't know whether DAIMLER was Lander
come to life again or reincarnation of
him. Maybe Lander's neck was not
broken and some scientific chap had
been experimenting on him with a bat
terry. All I know is that no two men
could possibly be marked in exactly the
same way. If it was Lander, he was
greatly benefited by the change, as on
inquiry found that he bore splendid
reputation as quiet, law abiding, peace
able citizen. ''-Chicago Times.

MT. Muller in relating his unpleasant
experience, "and was out some distance
from land when baited my hook and

was quite large, probably six to seven

It Cures Cancer.

Some years ago the state department
at Washington received through the
minister Of Ecuador to the United
States specimens Of plant known as
cundurango,, found in the province of
Loya, in Ecuador, to which marvellous
qualities in curing cancer were ascribed.
The physicians in South America expert
mented On this substance and reported
most wonderful cures. Its virtues are
said to have been discovered by accident
An Indian had been suffering fearfully
for a long time from internal cancer,
and his wife undertook to relieve him
by shortening his life by poison. For
this purpose she selected the cunduran-
go, making decoction Of the bark. To
her establishment the first dose appeared
to benefit the patient, and by the con-
tinuance of this remedy he was COM
pletely cured in short time.-New
