else it is possible to prescribe. This
preparation has for years past been
making brilliant success as a rem.
edy for cold in the head. catarrh and
hay fever. Used in the initial stages
OF these complaints Cream Balm pre-
vents any serious development of the
symptoms, while almost numberless
cases are on record of radical cures
OF chronic catarrh and hay fever af-
ter all other treatments have proved
of no avail.

A Chinese Trick.

! "Hoyy do we detect bad bill. forged

teller. Its hard to say. Some limitations
are SO absolutely wretched that they would

skilled counterfeter's work you must be
endowed with an extra sense. Money

made. Often bill, or coin, or check has

ShOtidy Manufacture.

Shoddy manufacture. according to the
improved system Of production now in
vogue, is said to include only such mate
rails as soft wooden and worsted rags, par
ticularIy the clippings from tailor shops,
on account of their clearness and softness.
an essential point, however, being that
they be fulled but little, as the less they
have been feltcd and matted the less grind
ing is required to separate the fiber. In
addition to these clippings such stock as
cast away wooden knit garments and stock
ings which have been but moderately full
ed are acceptable material. Cleaning and
oiIing, as may be necessary, having been
resorted to, the material is subjected to
the grinding operation. accomplished by
means of II system of powerful steel point
ed cylinders and rollers. The substances
TO be ground are fed onto table or feed
sheet and conveyed to two fiuted rollers,
on emerging from which they are vigor-
ously seized by the rapidly revolving teeth
of the main cylinder, the latter containing
about 500 strong, sharp steel teeth, turn
ing at the rate of sometimes $50 revolu-
tons per minute This high speed results
in tearing the rags apart and separating
the threads and fiber in such a manner,
says The Tradesman. that the whole Is
finally reduced to a soft, woolly condition.

A Coins Return.

It is not often that marked coin once
put into circulation is returned to the per-
son who marked it. Mr.. George Troup,
superintendent of Forest Lawn cemetery,
before he left Scotland, had his name
stamped upon coin of the issue of George
II. 1t was done in fun, and at that time
he never dreamed that the coin would ever
be returned to him. The coin was put into
circulation, and short time afterward
Mr. Troup came to this country. More
than 80 years passed by, and he thought
nothing more bout the circumstance. One
day friend of his at lodge said to him,
~ have coin with your name upon it. /"
81 asked him to let me see the coin, !"
said Mr. Troup, and when l looked at It
1 found It was the identical piece that
had marked 80 long ago. wrote to the
man who was present when the coin was
marked in Scotland. and he recalled the
circumstance. and got the coin from my
Buffalo friend, and now would not take
q good sum Of money for it. Where that
coin had been during the 80 years no one
knows. but it is strange coincidence that
it should have turned to me in Buffalo.

MATRIMCSY EXTRAORDINARY.
The Remarkable Experiences of q Man
Who Married Four Sisters.

Living in the mountains OF this county
rs family which has singular history
in matrimonial way. The father owns
a little farm and four daughters, or did
own the latter, A man named Phillips
about Is years ago married the eldest OF
these daughters, and after few years OF
married life the lady ran away with the
husbands sworn enemy. He procured a
divorce from her and woocd the second SIS
ter and took her home, but the next day
the woman turned up at home and said
she wouldn't live with Phillips and after
a time succeeded in getting legally free
from him.
Then the third sister. undaunted by
what had gone before. married the hus-
band of her two sisters. Soon after this
the fellow was sent to the penitentiary for
an oirense that kept him three years there,
and when he came out he found that his
wiee's tickle fancy had strayed while he
was absent and had fixed itself upon
neighbor, John Callahan. BY law she
was entitled to a divorce from her hus-
band, as he was convicted feion, SO get
ing it she married her lover.
In the meantime the first wife had found
that the man with whom she had eloped

divorced her and returned home. Then
Mrs, Callahan wandered back to her IA
;bnr. for husband No. 2 would not support
her So In this way the old man had once
more his four daughters on his hands. and
Phillips was still free.
The youngest daughter was now about
Is. and she also fell victim to the fascina-
ton the man Phillips appears to have ex-
er,ed over them all at first, and becoming
infatuated with him consented to marry
him. Phillips went to the father for the
fourth time to ask for daughters hand
and was told that he might have her on
condition that he kept her.
Phillips promised. and the ceremony
WIS to take place the following night,
when the ex-wives, growing jealous, arm
Cd themselves and swore that the mar
riarc should never take place. So Phillips
rode to town and swore out warrant
against tho sisters, telling of their threats.
The women were sworn then to keep the
neace. but Phillips thought it prudent,
however, to run away with his bride e
Kentucky and marry her there. This time
his venture seems to have terminated hap

The unsOciallle.

We envy neither the men nor the wom-
en- who cannot speak to fellow creature
out of their own circle or to any body with
out the formality of an introduction.
There is no computing the amount of profit
as well as pleasure such persons lose by
hedging themselves in with this stupid
fence of fastidiousness. We have always
found more of this feeling among persons
who were more touchy on their social po-
sition than among those self respecting
persons who thought nothing about it..
A great deal of intelligence is floating
round the world without being labeled,
and those men or women who have the
good sense to recognize this fact and act
upon it not only are educating themselves,
but comforting that pleasure which we are
all bound by the common ties of humani-
ty to exchange with one another 1t seems
to us that it is only the snob and pretend
or who take n different view of this ques-
tion.-New York Ledger.

A Fuss Made About a Half Inch.

A Maine man from regions where land
is tolerably plenty and an acre does not
seem very large piece invested in lot in
the suburbs of Boston and set about grad
ing and arranging his fences much NJ be
would in Maine. He covered up one corner
bound and then built his fence "about''
where he thought the line was. Imagine
his surprise when the adjoining owner APP
peared in great flutter over his proceed
ings. The line was relocated by a survey
or, when it was found the Maine mans
fence encroached one-half an inch on his
neighbor. and he had to set it over. As
much fuss was made over it as 10 acre
piece would cause in his Maine home. -
