but finally the New Zealander said he
would go up stairs and get the money.
After awhile he came down with it and
paid the bill
Then he explained that the reason
why he hadn't paid it before was that
he had all his money sewed up in his
vest. On an investigation it was shown
that he had surprising amount There

Miss Marie Fraser, after a visit to
Samoa, has written a book on the is

naive little essay on the philosophy of
clothes:
Though the tattooing in Samoa may
vary little in design, the decoration is
always in the shape Of knee breeches,

knee.

A SAOEMAKER'S LUCK.
he Turns Gold Seeker and at Once Strikes
a FahulousIy Rich Vein.


John ". Forbes of Cripple Greek,
Colo, tells Of the fabulous wealth of
the ores Of that wonderful gold camp.
He says that a shipment of II cars of
gold ore returned 81, 000, 0O0 to its
owner, and it is conceded the LARGEST
single shipment Of ore ever made.
This wonderfully rich mine is owned
by one man, named James Gordon, a
shoemaker, who knows nothing of min
ing. He was drunken, trihing charac-
ter who failed to support his wife, who
secured a divorce on the ground of non
support. The shoemaker was greatly in
censed at his wife's action and deter
mined that he would yet make a name
in the history of the world as man Of
wealth. He threw away4iilsj shoemak-
er's tools and started in pursuit of gold.
He struck it within two weeks. and
If his luck holds out four or five years
he will be the wealthiest man in the
world. The late shipment of Gordon's
has occasiOned renewed interest in Grip
pie Creek, and miners are focking to
the camp in vast numbers. New Or

MODELS FOR FARMERS.
An Interesting Exhibit to Be Shown at
the Atlanta Exposition.

An interesting and instructive exhibit
IN the Cotton States exposition at At
lanta will be a set Of three models, the
one to represent a 100 acre farm in the
hill lands of the south, which, by bad
management and especially by improp-
er cutting of the forest, has become
quilted, furrowed and silted over, such
as one can see almost in every state.
The next model will show how, with
bush dams, with ditching, proper drain
ing, with terracing, with sodding and
replanting, the lost ground may be re-
covered, while the third model, repre-
senting the same 100 acres, is to show
how finally the farm should look ideal
ly, with the fields and meadows and
forest growth properly disposed, in good
condition, the roads running at proper
levels instead Of up and down, the
fences reduced to tho smallest extent
practicable. philadelphia Ledger.

The maytloWGr thrills in its snow flower hood,

 Zerah gives legal written guarantee to cure every case he undertakes or re- fund the money and will pay $I, ,O00 IN GOLD for proof that he fails to live up to his contracts. He protects his patients Chronic Diseases. Zerah has treated over 12,000 cases in America in the last two years, many of which had been given up as incurable, some to be blind, others deaf, and a large number to be invalids for life. | Now they see and hear and many are on the high road to health.
 | Zereh is surrounded by a fine collec- tion of instruments for examination and treating all chrome diseases of the head !, face, eye, ear, nose, throat. heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidney, bladder, skin, brain and nervous system, cancers, tu. mora, plies, old sores, fits, paralysis, neuralgia, rheumatism, dropsy, gout, sick headache, debility.

 Delay Is Dangerous.
 Many diseases are so deceptive that hundreds of people have them before they even suspect it. They know they are not we'll, but are perfectly ignorant of the deadly fangs which are fastening upon them and must sooner or later certainly destroy them. unless rescued by skillful hand. Are you afflicted ? Your case may now be perfectly curable but remember every month of neglect brings you nearer it's incurable stage, when perhaps the most skillful physi- clan can render you no assistance. The present is ours. The future may be too late.
 Examination Free to All.
 Whenever it is known that Zerah Is located at place. crowds gather to con. suit him and it is not to be wondered at i when it is remembered that in diagnos. ing disease he asks but few questions, but describes the different diseases bet ter than the sick can themselves.
 It is wonderful gift for anyone to possess and Zerah's diagnostic powers have created wonder throughout the country. He adopts the following plan, which is peculiar to large hospitals and is not and never has been the practice of country doctors, viz: He carefully notes the symptoms of the patient and ascertains the condition of the internal organs, all of which he carefully records in his register for future reference. In this way hs is positive of the true nature of the disease and its course. Knowing the disease, he knows the changes it produces in the tissues and knowing the changes hs checks them with spe- cific remedies ard places the patient on the road to recovery. When sick people consult him he can readily tell whether he can cure them or whether they are

The Worlds Greatest Blight

The almost universal condition of weakened nerve force that prevails among the civilized people of all nations and more especially in those countries and towns where the greatest business and social activity prevails. It is one of the crying evils of our time that men and women become physical wreck at period in their lives when they should represent the perfection of physical and mental force. The fact is that the requirements of business and social life impose such hurly- -burly, feverish, nervous, brain consuming, body-neglect- ing method of living that only the strongest conditions can endure the constant strain and maintain healthy equilibrium.
 The most populous public institutions today are the asylums for the insane, and it is unquestionably g fact that modern business methods, social crs. toms and excesses that weaken the vital forces, are the underlying causes for the constantly increasing percentage of insanity.
 In the desperate effort that men and women of today are obliged to make to maintain the constantly Tagging ener- gies and to ''keep up with the process sion "there grows upon them constantly increasing resort to artificial methods of stimulation. Alcoholic drinks, narcotic drugs, stimulating mixtures and every modern device to produce temporary exhllaration are resorted to.
 The result is something appalling. Victims of what is known as the opium habit are at every hand. Extensively and widely advertised institutes for the treatment of what are called nervous diseases, insomnia, debility, weakness, atrophy, lost vitality, drunkenness, etc. are almost mum berless and their patron age is astonishly large. It is drawn from every class and its afflictions not confined to any age. The young man aged man, the old man with but few years before him, the society belle, the matron, the maiden, the wife, the son, the daughter, all are victims, and they come to such place as last desperate resort, with 8 faint hope that even a temporary relief may be found for the awful condition in which their excesses or weaknesses have left them. It sounds like mockery to gay that 8 means of universal relief from such afflictione has been found and were it not feature Tn connection with such an assertion that the remedies are offered with an unequivocal guaranty that complete cure will be effected or no expense will be incurred. the motive of it's authors might properly be suspected.

 Zerah has had a whole life of study and experience in his profession and enjoys advantages which fell to the lot of but few. After attending his full courses in the medical colleges, and after graduating with the highest of honors, he was not content to stop there, but has since attended other colleges and several times reviewed the whole profession; has also travelled extensively for the purpose of improve ment, having visited the best medical colleges. hospitals and dispensaries, eye, ear, lung and other medical and surgical institutions, travelling thou sands of miles both by land and sea, expending thousands of dollars, inn proving every advantage within his command and devoting the best years of his life to become thoroughly familiar with his profession in all of it's branches.

He has also an extensive supply of the latest and best professional apparatus for the treatment of different diseases, by modern methods, embracing many which are but seldom found outside of large cities.
