in short time he has mere skeleton.
He had no appetite, end 1t was hard work
to make him eat enough to keep him alive.
A few weeks later we had his hip lanced,
and following this five other eruptions
broke out, making eight running sores In
all. We did all we could for him, but he
grew weaker every day, although we had
three OF tho best physicians. As last re-
sort we were prevailed upon by relatives
who had taken Hoods Sarsaparilla with
beneficial results to give the medicine q
trial. We got one bottle about the first
OF March, and no had taken'the medi-
cine only few days when his appetite be-
gan to improve. When he had taken one
bottle he could move about little with
his crutches, which he had not been able
to use for the preceding three months. We
continued faithfully with Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and In six months he was
Able to be Dressed
and 20 about the house without the
crutches. He has now taken Hoods Sar-
saparilla regularly for eighteen months,
and for the past six months has been with
out tho crutches, which he has outgrown
by several inches. The sores haveall healed
with tho exception Of one which Is rapidly
closing, only the scars and an occasional
limp remaining AZ reminders Of his suffer-
ing, Hoods Barsaparilla In his case has
truly done wonders, and he IL daily gain
ing In flesh and good color. He runs about
and plays ss lively as any child. We feel
IN inexpressible Joy at having our boy re-
stored to health and we always speak In
the highest terms Of Hoods Sarsaparilla."

A Successful Engagement.

From the Troy Times.
A brilliant scheme was adopted the other
day by theatrical company which found
itself stranded at Dayton, o., and It's
next engagement at Cleveland. A plan
was made for the arrest of one of the
members of the company on the charge Of
opening u letter belonging to another
member The accused was taken before
the United States commissioner at Cleve-
land, where the other members OF the
company were subpOenaed as witnesses.
They of course secured his acquittal, and
also their fees, amounting to $6.25 apiece.
1t was the most profitable engagement
they have played thia season, but the
commissioner Is willing to bet that they
can't play 1t on him again.

REALLY SENSITIVE PLANT.
II knows the Difference Between u Famil
lar and "a Strange Form.


An incident related by the author of
"The Pearl of India" in his description
of the fora of Ceylon, is almost un-
canny, although we are assured that 1t
is true. 1t Is about the mimosa, or sensi-
tive plant, and makes one almost Won
der whether the plant has intelligence.
The doctor, one of the characters Of
the book, while sitting with the family
on the broad piazza, which formed the
front of the bungalow of a coffee plan
tation, recognized a thrifty sensitive
plant, and it was made the subject Of
remark. He called his young daughter
of II years from the house.
Lena" said he, go and kiss the
mimosa."
The child did so, laughing gleefully
and came away. The plant gave no
token of shrinking from contact with
the pretty child
Now" said the host, will you touch
the plant?"
Rising to do so, we approach 1t with
one hand extended, and before it had

One Of tho Fads of the Passing Hour at

From the Washington Star.
A fad which bids fair to become fair

china bric-a-brac. In order that 1t

AS amateur artists have often been en-
ployed in this work, the results have not
been very satisfactory. The chappies
have sent their photographs to New
York to have the work carefully done.

THE OLD TEASER.
A Venerable Side Wheeler Which Has
Seen Much Service.


One more round trip of the Miramichi
between Montreal and the Gulf ports
and the stanch cid boats life work will
have ended, says the Montreal Star.
The quaint side-wheeler of the fashion
oc a generation ago viii give place to
the modern twin-screw steamship
Campana, which IS even row on her
way down the canal. The early history
Of the Miramichi is UNIQUE inasmuch
as she was designed for an entirely diff
ferent trade from the peaceful one she
has followed since the early 70s. She
was built at London. England. in 1864
by j. Penn and was christened the
Teaser. For whom she was originally
built is not known. This was kept
secret, no doubt, Tor the reason that
her intended trade was Of semi-pi-
ratical nature. She WAS designed for
blockade runner between southern
ports of the United States and Europe
In that year-1S6i-the war Of the re-
belliOn was at its height and the navy
Of the United States had completely
blocked all traffic between the rebel
ports and Europe. The speed Of the
Teaser was about sixteen miles per
those days, and il was thought that she
could outsail the ships of the United
States navy. She was captured, how
ever, on her first trip, as she was try
ing 20 set out Of a blockaded southern
port with n cargo Of cotton. After the
close Of the war in 1863 she was sold by
the United States government and for a
time was employed in the Gulf of Mex
leo between New Orleans and Calves
tor. Coal being very expensive, this
did not prove a paying investment and
she was laid UP in NV Orleans until
1872. whom her present owners. the
Quebec Steamship company, purchased
her. Alterations such as the deck
houses, etc, have since been made.
Her boilers were renewed six years ago.
though the engines are the same as
when she was built She has made 800
round trips to the lower ports, which
aggregate over 100000 miles, and in all
her service has never lost a life.
