FREAK OF PARTISAN STUDENTS.

Got Chestnut Peddler Drunk and
Dressed Him in Priests Garb.
A good, racy story comes from the Latin
quarter, and it has. moreover. a good deal
Of truth i'll it, for the police are on the look
out for certain students with turn for
practical joking, says Il writer in the Lon
don Figaro. Early one morning this week
a priest, walking along the Rue de Sevres,
encountered five young men who were sup
porting drunken individual in clerical
garb. They explained to-, the priest that
they had met his confrere near the Lux
embourg, and that to save the honor of
the cloth they were taking him home
The good able thanked them warmly, and
took charge of the frail vessel, who was
in the uproariOus stage vi intoXication,
and persisted in singing songs of a very
indicate description at the top of his
voice. The sober priest took the reprobate
to his own modest lodging and put him to
bed. In the morning, when the arunkard
Woks. he was greeted with remonstrapces
by his host, who was suddenly Mortified
when the man jumped out Of bed with a
yell and rushed to the mirror. After look
ing at himself, he said: THAT'S me all
right enoght, but where's my beard?' 1t
appears that the supposed priest was in
reality a roast chestnut dealer, who keeps
a stall in the Rue Montmartre, but the
previous evening he had been invited to
drink with the. students, who piled him
with liquor to such an extent that he soon
became helpless. They then shaved his
beard, trimmed his scalp, dressed him in
priests clothing, and led hin, forth into
the street as described

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 emulsious, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like balliatises.
Although by many believed to be incura.
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds OF
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption Is a durable
disease. Not every case, but q large Ter.
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed 50 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 e1aaciation and weakness
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
zeal discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal diseasel 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"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal nlalady, 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-
ft or had only seemed to benefit little for
short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.

Mystery OF the Oyster Bed.

One Of the greatest natural curiosities
IN the world is the Texas oyster bed. This
bed extends across the entire state from
south to north, and has lain long enough
to become stratifieil The shells are soft
when first taken out. but harden upon
exposure to the atmosphere At Henrietta,
in the panhandle, a number of beautiful
buildings have been constructed of this
material. At Weatherford and San An.
tonic shell roads have been made. The
oysters embraced several species long
since extinct, and while biologists agree
that Texas must at one time have been
at the bottom of the Gulf Of Mexico, they
are at loss to account for the presence
Of this oyster bank, there being none
found east or west of the strata.
