La Grippe.

During the prevalence of the
Grippe the past season, it was no
ticeable fact that those who depend
ed upon DIR. Kings New Discovery,
not only had a speedy recovery, but
escaped all the troublesome after e.
fects of the malady. This remedy
seems to have a peculiar power in
effecting rapid cures not only in cas-
es of La Grippe, but in all diseases
of Throat, Chest and Lungs and has
cured cases of Asthma and Hay Fe-
yer of long standing. Try it and be
convinced. 1t won't disappoint.

What is Eczema?

1t is an agony of agonies.
A torture of tortures.
1t is an itching and burning of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
1t is thousands of pin-headed YES
icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever
forming, ever bursting, ever flowing
upon the raw excoriated skin.
No part of the human skin is
exempt.
1t tortures, disfigures and humil-
iates more than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Sleep ard rest are out of the
question.
Most remedies and the best ply
SicianS generally fail, even to relieve.
If CUTICURA did no more than
cure Eczema, it would be entitled to
tie gratitude of mankind.
1t not only cures but
A single application is often suffi-
Gent to afford instant relief, permit
rest and sleep, and point to speedy
cure.
CUTICURA works wonders because
it is the most wonderful skin cure of
modern times.

And make snow balls of it.

To Travel at a High Rate of Speed.

The wheel shown in the illustra-
tion, patterned by Chicago man, is
designed to ia cilitate travelling at a
high rate of speed, while being of a
comparatively durable and simple
construction. The rim has cushion
tire, two outwardly curved webs from
which form casing or cage for the
rider, the webs preferably forming
spokes connected with central hubs in
which is a shaft on which is loosely
hung a frame carrying seat for the
rider. In the forward lower end of
of the frame are also journals in which
turn the crank shaft, with crank arms
engaged by the feet of the rider in
the usual way, the sprocket chain con-
Meeting with wheels on the main shaft
on opposite sides of the seat and
within the hubs, whereby the wheel is
rotated.
The brake shoe is on the lower end
of g vertically arranged fork, the
upper end of which has a handle IN
easy reach of the rider, while springs
on the fork arms normally hold the

brake shoe out of contact with the
rim. The wheel is held in upright po'
sition at rest by two rods sliding III
vertical guides on the frame, tha
lower forked ends of the rods being
normally held out of contact with the
ground by springs, and the rods being
pressed down into the ground by
means of handles at each side of the
saddle. At the lower extremity OF
the frame is O basket to hold pack
ages, etc., and connected with the
basket is rod on which is held m
adjustable weight to counterbalance
the weight of the rider on the seat.

out of the cage one of the spokes On
each side is connected with the hub by
means of hinge, the out end OF the
hinged spoke engaging a keeper on
side of the rim by means of spring

by the rider bending to one side o.
the other. Chicago Times.

The Shetland Pony.

As good deal of misconception e1-
fists as to what constitutes true Shet-
land pony, we give the following de-
scription of the little animal by Sir
Walter Gilbey, the eminent breeder
OF and authority on horses:
s"The height of the pure Shetland
is about ten hands (forty inches),
and this size may be taken as fair
average, although many exceed this
standard, and numbers are as small as
nine hands; some even may be found
measuring not more than eighs lads
or thirty-two inches.
tThe Shetland pony is doclie, easily
trained to domestic use when kindly
treated, and being hardy and muscu-
lar, is capable of enduring much
drudgery. Having good feet it is
surefooted when climbing mountains,
at the same time sagacious in making
its way through swamps and bogs.
'It varies in color from bay, brown
and dun to dullish black, and some
time these colors are mixed with white,
while few specimens may be found
which are pure white or piebald.
Added to this these ponies have coats
of long hair, which becomes thicker
and gets matted upon them during
the cool and boisterous weather. -

Small Brains.

Scientists have agreed that it is not
the amount of brain the weight of
the brain-which decides the intel
lectual or idiotic destiny of man, but
the amount of working surface of the
brain; that is, the number and intri-
cacy of convolutions on the brain de-
termine the mental status of its owner.
Thus very large brain, if compare
lively smooth, would have a much
less thinking surface than smaller
brain if highly convoluted. The brain
of Byron was unusually small, as was
also that of Sir Walter Scott, the gen.
tie Wizard of the North, who wove
the old traditions of his loved Scot
land into so many charming ropances
in prose and poetry. The brain OF a
statesman seems much smaller after
he is elected than it did before. There
must be expanding and shrinking
brains that scientists have not yet dis
covered.--New Orlean Picayune.

Wonders of the Magnolia.

The umbrella magnolia pf Ceylon
bears leaves that are so large that q
single one may sometimes serve as q
shelter for fifteen or twenty persons.
One of these leaves carried to England
as specimen was nearly thirty.six
feet in width.
When the petals of the great aurel
magnolia are touched, however
lightly, the result is a brown spot,
which develops in few hours. This
fact is taken advantage of by lover,
who PULLS o magnolia flower, and on
one of its pure white petals writes q
motto or message with hard, sharp
pointed pencil. Then he sends the
flower, the young lady puts it in q
vase of water and in three CT four
hours the message written on the leaf
becomes visible and remains so.-

Whistled Their Thoughts.

When on August 10, 1892, the Jaco-
bins dictated their terms at Paris for
a national convention, Lafayette, who
was in command of the army of the
frontier, and several of his generalo fl
GERS quilted the French armyin disgust.
They were seized by the King of Prus-
sia, from his custody transferred to
that Of Austria, and long confined in
the castle of Olmutz in Moravia. AL
though each of the prisoners was kept
solitary, yet their apartments were 80
arranged that they were all within
hearing of each other when standing
at the windows of their respective
chambers. To improve this advantage
they thought of the following plan:
There was at Paris number of tunes
called airs of the Pont Neuf, or those
popular ballads that were sung at the
corners of the streets and other pub
lie places. The words belonging to
these airs were 80 well known that to
strike up few of the notes was to re-
call to memory the words that accom-
panied them. By this means the cap
tives at Olmutz gradually composed
for themselves a vocabulary by whis-
Ting these notes. at their windows,
and this vocabulary after short time
became 80 complete and even compre-
hensive that even two or three notes
from each formed their alphabet and
effected their intercourse. By this
means they communicated news to
each other concerning their families,
the progress of the war, etc., and
when, by good fortune one of them
had procured a gazette he whistled
the contents of it to his partners in
captivity. The commandant of the
fortress was constantly informed of
these unaccountable concerts. He
listened, he set spies, but the whole
thing being language of convention
the most practiced magician would
have failed in detecting the intention
and real expression of the notes heard.

about in careless poses. When we
climbed aboard the elevator, we had
q moment in which to turn and regard
them. Then suddenly the study in
black faces and crimson and orange
lights vanished. We were on our
swift way to the surface. Far above
ue, in the engine room, the engineer
sat with his hand on lever and his
eye on the little model of the shaft
wherein miniature elevator was
making the ascent even as our elevator
was making it. In fact, the same
mighty engines gave power to both,
and their positions are relatively the
same always.
Of sudden the feeting walls be-
come hecked with light. 1t increased
to downpour of sunbeams. The
high sun was afoat in splendor of
spotless blue. The distant hills were
arrayed in purple and stood like
monarchs. A glory of gold was upon
the nearby earth.
OF that sinister struggle far below
there came no sound, no suggestion
save the loaded cars that emerged.one
after another in eternal procession
and were sent creaking up the in
cline that their contents might be fed

These little mel were a terrifically

their faces were a wonder and ter
