An Uniuue Book.

An unique book, by an American mil
lionaire, is to appear shortly. Mr.. He
Der Bishop, who possesses incompara-

world, recently visited Pekin, and made
large additional purchases.
Now he proposes to publish volume
on the subject, which will cost $780, 900
to bring out, the binding alone of each
copy running to 500. The edition will
be limited to one hundred copies, which
Will be distributed by the author to the
chief governments of the world, many
of the crowned heads and the principal
public Libraries.
Then the plates will be destroyed, and
the volume thus rendered one of the
rarest and most valuable in existence.
The jade Is by far the most valued or
nament of the Chinese, perfect speci-
mems fetching enormous prices, and its
delicious green and white will lend It
self to exquisite illustration.

Record An Trading emashed.

Record in Trading Smashed.
July wheat shot up to 50 cents Thursday
on the Chicago Board of Trade. AS 1t
rose and scared thousand hands of yell
ing brokers were stretched to bring it
back to earth. 1t was long and exciting
struggle, but just before the close of the
session the Juror quieted, the price Aut-
tered awhile and then dropped to 7S34, or
~ cents above the closing quotation of
Wednesday.
But while the wheat was going up and
coming down, the Chicago Board of Trade
experienced the greatest day In its his
tory. There may have been as much ex-
element on previous occasions, when big
corners were run, but at no time was there
such an amount of business transacted,
and when the closing gong sounded the
brokers dropped their arms, and were
glad to escape to their offices. Over 25O,-
100000 bushels of wheat, it was csti-
mated, were traded in. Margins were
called for and put up with astonishing
swiftness. The marble steps leading to
the banks which do n margin business
were blackened with the footprints of
messenger boys, who carried checks and
notices to and from the banks. At least
$1,000, 900 in margins was deposited. Dur
ing the great swirl John @. Schwartz, an
erstwhile plunger, was blown out of the
market like bit of chaff.
The tremendous boom went on. Every
body was buying, and most of all the
farmers. The failure of Schwartz was
an incident; the feature was the farmer.

Not Guilty.

The most popular man in Western
town once got into difficulty with q
disreputable tough who was the terror
of the place, and whipped him in a
manner eminently satisfactory to the
entire community. 1t was necessary
to vindicate the majesty Of the law,
however. and the offender was brought
up for trial on a charge of assault with
intent to kill. The jury took the case
and were out about two minutes, when
they returned.
''Well," said the Judge, in familiar,
off-hand way, what does the jury
have to say"
May 1t please the Court" responded
the foreman, 1--WE, the jury, find that
the prisoner is not guilty Of hittin' with
intent to kill, but simply TO paralyze,

An Egg That Holds Two Gallons.

Fronl the Ashtabula, Ohio, Beacon-)
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought
up near Elmira, n. L., and from there EN-
listed in the 1S9th regiment, n. Y. V. l.,
with which he went through the war, and
saw much hard service. Owing to expo
sure and hardships during the service,
Mr.. Taylor contracted chronic diarrhoca,
from which he has suffered now over thir-
ty years, with absolutely no help from
physicians. BY nature he was II Won
derfully vigorous man. Had he not been,
his disease and the experiments of the doc
tors had killed him long ago. Laudanum
was the only thing which afforded him re-
lief He had terrible headaches, his nerves
were shattered, he could not sleep an hour
a day on an average, and he was reduced
to skeleton. A year ago, he and his wife
sought relief in O change of climate and
removed to Geneva, Ohio; but the change
in health came not. Finally, on the rec
ing druggist of Geneva, who was cogniz-
ant of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to try

months ago. Mr.. Taylor has since taken
more of the pills and his progress is
steady and he has the utmost confidence
in them. He has regained full control of
his nerves and sleeps as well as in his
youth. Color is coming back to his parch-
ed veins and he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do
considerable outdoor work.
AS he concluded narrating his suffer
ings, experience and cure to Beacon re-
porter Mrs. Taylor, who has been his
faithful helpmeet these many years, said
she wished to add her testimony in favor
of Pink Pills. "To the pills alone is due
the credit of raising Mr.. Taylor from a
helpless invalid to the man he is to-day"
said Mrs. Taylor. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Taylor cannot find words to express the
gratitude they feel or recommend too
highly Pink Pills to suffering humanity.
Any inquiries addressed to them at Gene
va, Ohio, regarding Mr.. Taylor's case
they will cheerfully answer, as they are
anxious that the whole world shall know
what Pink Pills have done for them and
that suffering humanity may be benefited
thereby.
