"Jeminy crickets, she's got the rick
ets," whispered one beau to another IN
the company of very pretty girl.
Truly she was very beautiful, but there
was twitching about the nerves OF
the face which showed suffering.
"No," said the other, "it's neuralgia
and she's martyr to it," St. Jacobs
Oil was suggested as the world
renowned cure for it. Did she try it?
Yes and was cured by it and-married
lone of the fellows" afterwards. The
use Of the great remedy for pain will
not bring about a marriage, but In its
cure of pain it will bring about condl-
tons of health to make life more en-
joyable. No man or woman ought to
marry who is sufferer from chronic
pains. We should not wed woe to win
only wretchedness.

SUICIDE ASSISTED IN RUSSIA
Aged and Sick Tchuktchis Sacrificed With
Strange Ceremonies Even To-day.

Aged and Sick Tchuktchis Sacrificed With
Strange Ceremonies Even To-day.
Very few persons in Europe or else
where are aware that human sacrl-
ices still exist in part OF the Rus
sian Empire. Among the Tchuktchis
,uch sacrifices still take place, says
the Gazette de Yakootsk, and seem
likely to be practiced for long tim,
TO come. At the same time ne
blame therefore can be attached to
the Russian Government or to the
orthodox church, for efforts by botn
TO stop the custom have proved In
elfectual. The sacrifices alluded to
are those of old people ard the sick,
who, finding no pleasure in life, re-
solve to have done with earthly ex-
stence, to rejoin their dead relations
and go to increase the numLer OF
happy spirits. The Tchuktchi who
has made up his mind to die imme-
liately notifies his neighbors and near
est relatives The news spreads IN
the circle of his friends and all OF
them soon visit the unhappy person
to influence him to change his mind.
Prayers, reproaches, complaints, and
tears have no effect on the fanatic,
who explains his reasons, speaks OF
The future life, Of the dead who ap-
pear to him in his Sleep and even
when he is awake, calling him to
them. H friends, seeing him thus
resolved, go away to make the Gus
tomary preparations At the end Of
from ten to fifteen days they return
to the hut Of the Tchuktchl With
white mortuary garments and some
weapons which will be used by the
man in the other world to fight evil
spirits and hunt the reindeer After
making his toilet the Tchuktchi with
draws into the corner CT the hut
His nearest relative stands ty his
>ile, holding in his hand the instru-
ment Of sacrifice, knife, a pike, or
4 rope. After the sacr. flee the as
sistants place the body on a sledge
drawn by a reindeer, which draws it
to the place Of the funeral. Arrived
at their destination the Tchuktchis
cut the throat Of the reindeer, take
from the dead body its clothing,
which is torn to pieces, and place the
corpse on a lighted funeral pile.
During the incineration the assistants
offer up prayer to the happy In the
other world, and supplicate these to
watch over them and theirs. The e
horrible prartices are followed to day
with the same exactness as in an ncient
times.

BackWoo0s DIPLOMACY.

A Portland man, who has just re.
turned from hunting trip in the foI
ests Of Northern Maine, vouches to the
Portland, Me-, Argus for the entire
truth of the following story, as he had
it direct from the sheriff.
A man VINO lives In Mount Katahdin
reign went into the Office of a justice OF
the peace few days since, and in.
quired aboL. the penalty for hunting
deer with dogs, and very particularly
as to whether one-half the fine did not
go to the informer.
The justice consulted the melaws,
and assured him that it did.
"Very Well" said the man, l want
to complain of myself and settle"
The justice could not back out, and
so gave the transgressor "a clean bill of
health" upon payment of one-half of
the penalty.
1t seems that the man got wind of
the fact that game warden had got
the ''drop" on him on his deer poach-
ings with his dogs, and was only wait
ing an opportunity to arrest him.
Hence his shrewd bit of diplomacy.

Before the introduction Of the tele-

ages than they now are, aud great
rival grandeur existed among them.
On one occasion a new Italian Minis
ter had arrived at the Spanish capital,
and went en- suite to pay his respects
to the reigning sovereign. Arriving
at one Of the receptlon-ro0ms to the
palace. he found 1t occupied by an
imposing-looking man surrounded by
a gIittering throng. These ne not
unnaturally took to be the King and
his courtiers, and with profound
obeisance introduced himself.
The supposed King received hin.
with gracious condescension till the
doors opened and an even more mag
niucent train ushered in the real
King and showed to the discounted
Italian that he had been kneeiing te-
fore his hated rival, the French Am
baSsador, who took no pains to con-
ceal his satisfaction at the tlatterlng
mistake But his triumph was not
to last, for in the evening of the same
day the King, with the Italian as his
partner was playing cards against
the French Minister and third Am
bassador, when in the course of the
game the Italian threw down card,
exciaiming. "That is the king and il
wins us the trick"
His partner looked at it and said l.

\ PLUCKY SCHOOL-TEACHER.
dow Her Courage Defeated TWO Desperate
Robbers.

dow Her Courage Defeated Two Desperate
Robbers.
In these days when railway trains
and express messengers are at the
mercy Of armed bandits woman's
courage when she is confronted with
masked robbers is inspiring. A des-
perate attempt to rob a safe in the
banking department Of the Northern
Indiana Normal College was recently
thwarted by remarkable display OF
GOODNESS on the part Of young
teacher.
When the office was entered it was
occupied by two women, one the
secretary and the other teacher,
Emma Jones. 1t was in the middle
OF the afternoon, and the buildings
were filed with students
"keep quiet or you will be shot
hissed the two masked men as they
rushed into the room.
One of them put a revolver in the
teachers face, and levelled anorher
at the secretary The other strobe
toward the safe where he expected to
dnd $780,
The school teacher never finched.
Instead Of meekly surrendering, as
many express messengers and train
guards have done under similar cir
cumstances, she sprang forward and
with quick, vigorous bl knocked
the revolver out Of the intruGer's
hand. He had another revolver in
his other hand. but being dazed by
her unexpected resistance stopped i'm
pulsively to recover the weapon from
the floor.
The plucky girl was too quick for
MIN. Instead Of snatching up the
revolver, as he had feared, she darted
for the door, calling upon her COM
panion to follow her. As she passed
through the doorway shot was
fired, but with such faulty aim that
she escaped unharmed. Plunging
headlong down the stone steps she
screamed for help.
The masked men, hearing her voice
and perceiving that delay would be
fatal, followed her without robbing
the safe. On the ground they met a
man who had answered the alarm
signal. They brandished their re-
yolvers and frightened him out of
his wits. Then they retreated across
the campus and escaped down thu
railway track.
A swarm Of students started In
pursuit, reinforced by police officers
and a Sheriff's posse. The robbers
were tracked for two miles In thel1
desperation they fired upon farmer
who was driving load Of peaches to
| market He had rifle and fought
hem at long range with deadly ef-
ect He killed one and wounded the
,ther, delivering the drisoner to the
sheriff.
The farmer drove to town and was
she hero of the college. One en-
thusiast undertook to sell the peaches
for him to a grateful community and
turned over liberal Offering of money
to him in recognition Of his services.
The farmers risk had been slight
in comparison with the schocl-teach-
er's He had his rife and was good
shot. She was unarmed and in the
power of her captors, but she had the
courage and wit to defy them and to
raise the alarm. She really earned
the large gift of money by her hero
ism rather than the peach-seller,
whose craftsmanship had been sue
cessfulIy tested.-Youth's Compan'
