What the Specialists Are Doing Daily
to Restore Health and Strength
to Sufferers.
1t is an established rule of the institute that no
incurable diseases are taken. If an applicant is
found to be suffering from true cancer or tubercu-
lar consumption he is frankly told that he cannot
be cured though much may be done to allay his
sufferings, but medical science has yet failed
to discover any cure for these two dreadful mala-
dies all the physicians at the institute say freely
and frankly that it is beyond human power to re-
move these evils. Nevertheless it should not be
forgotten that there are many instances where
mistakes have been made in diagnosing these
diseases, it is well for all sufferers to apply for
help at the institute.
All the Following Cases Are Durable:
Catarrh of the head, stomach or bladder; all
bronchial diseases; all functional nervous dis

Man Disguised as Boy.

John Smith was last night arrested as
suspected felon by Detectives Daily, Nc
Corkill and Hickey. He was strange
case. He first put in an appearance in this
city about three days ago, when he went
into hotel and registered from New York.
He said he was an actor and talked cleverly
and made himself at home.
He surprised some of the hotel guests
when a day later he appeared in short,
ragged trousers, his face dirty and his hair
disheveled. He looked like street urchin.
That night he drew from his pocket a
handful of nickels and cents and had them
exchanged for larger pieces of money. He
then appeared in his handsome clothes
and as a man. 1t is thought he had
begged the money. The detectives re-
ceived information of his strange actions
and concluded to arrest him.-Louisville

THE GROUND-HOG,

Repute Weather Prophet.

Repute as Weather Prophet.
How the grounding, alias the wood
chuck alias chuck of the ancient family
of 'Sciuridae" or marmet ever came to be
looked upon as a weather prophet we do
not know. But he has been in that bust
ness a long time and has established a
reputation second only to that of the al
manacs, which undertake to foretell the
weather.
Down here in Virginia, and in the South
generally, we believe, he is known by the
name of grounding, but in the Northern
and Western States he is called chuck or
woodchuck. We are bound to call him
grounding, because we have named
the green woodpecker the woodchuck, and
we don't want to have rats and birds mixed
up in our nomenclature.
1t isn't every man you meet who has had
the luck OF seeing ground hog, though
on February there are many persons who
watch for him. He is from fifteen to
eighteen inches long, of very stout, heavy
form, with brownish and grayish tints
above and reddish-brown below. He feeds
on vegetables of many kinds, burrows in
the ground and hibernates in the winter
1t is on February that he is supposed to
emerge from his winter quarters, and the
popular myth is that if he sees his shadow
weeks longer, which implies that warm,
sunshiny weather very early in the spring
or in February, arousing him from his tor
pidity is likely to be followed by a cold or
late season.
The grounding and his odorous coIabor-
er, the muskrat, were very much talked-of
animals in Virginia years ago. The banks
of the James River and Kanawha Canal
afforded them home which delighted
them greatly. 1t was their Jolly old Gus
tom once or twice a year, first at one point
and then at another, to burrow through
the canal banks and (unwittingly) make a
passage for the water, which would flow
and flow and widen and widen the breach
until the entire stream of the canal was
turned into the river. This very thing
happened to the canal between the Trede-
gar Works and the old pumphouse.
The canal, for the most part, is in disuse
now, but we suppose that the grounding
and the muskrat still burrow into its
bank, though the Legislature takes NO
notice of that fact, as it used to do when.it
was called upon to make appropriations OF
public money to mend the eyer-breaking
(also State breaking) canal.
We must say that with many of our peo-
pie belief in grounding day remains un-
shaken-such is the tenacity of tradition,
such the ease with which one receives the
faith transmitted to him by his forefathers

PRESERVATION OF SHIP WITH CRUDE

general use of pneumatic tires, recognizing
not only their diminution of fatigue for
riders, but the reduction in the wear and
tear on the wheels, springs and body of
the vehicle. Besides, there is the in
crease in resistance, and the saving in this
respect is 40 per cent in traction on smooth
surfaces and as high as 70 per cent on the
rougher.
The TRUE BASIS OF PERMANENT LITERARY
FAME.-It is said that barely 10 per cent of
all the works offered to the publishers find
their way into type, and of this handful
perhaps an equal proportion have hitherto
won permanent fame. Owing, however,
to the growing use of poor paper there is
every reason to believe that in a few
hundred years every copy of some famous
books now published will have utterly
vanished. French experts say of modern
french newspapers and books that they

Rapid methods of bleaching render it

OF woody fiber will not resist constant
changes of temperature. Even when the
material is sound, the modern printed
book has not the solid binding of a hun
dred years ago. Hence it is worth while
OF any author respecting his future to see to
1t that few copies of his book are printed
on good paper. Only this will save him,
and not the quality of his work.

KNOWS A BOYS APPETITE.

A country editor writes as one whom
any boy would love-tells how she saw
a mother put UP a lunch for her boy to
take to school. and then she tells very
prettily how danitly she would have put
up that lunch. and l know that she would
do just as she said. But she didn't go
far enough. Now, if I were going to put
up a lunch for a boy 10 years old, I
wouldn't take a little tin pal nor yet
a neat little covered basket. I would
just take the market basket, If the
family wasn't going to use it that day,
and I would cut up a loaf of bread and
trim it off every bit of the crust to keep
the boy from lying about i, and telling
me that he ate it and didn't fire it over
the fence when he came home. l would
cut that loaf of bread in slices and spread
on butter until 1t began to fall off; then
/ would stack on the sugar as long as
1t would hold. Then I would load in a
lot of hard boiled eggs-say half a doz-
en-all the cake there was IN the house,
and fill up the rest OF the space with pie.
and then stuff two of his pockets full
Of apples to eat during school hours, and
fill up the rest of his pockets with nuts:
Then If the boy came home at 4 o'clock
and said he didn't W. enough lunch

would give him the keys. of the cellar,
