for the wonderful cure which her daugh-

She had the care of the best physicians
procurable, and no expense or trouble was
spared to give her relief. She was SO
thin that she was fairly skin and bones,
her digestion was out of order and she had
the most awful headaches. We gave up
oil hope of her recovery. Her long, thin,
listless face made me nearly crazy, and
we did everything in our power to give

The Human-Faced Crab.

One of the most singular-looking crea-
lures that ever walked the earth, says
DR.. Shiesof, is the famous man-faced
crab of japan. Its body is hardly an
inch in length, yet the head is fitted with

curious creature, besides the great like.
ness it bears to human being in the
face, is provided with two legs, which
seem to grow from the top of it's head
and hang down over the sides of its
face. Besides these legs, two feelers,
each about an inch in length, grow
from the chin of the animal, looking for
all the world like a forked beard. These
man-faced crabs literally swarm in the
waters of the inland seas of Japan

:Cheap" Journalism.

In the Cosmopolis, the new European
magazine, Jules Simon of France writes
on penny journalism:'
Even with the lower cost of material
and production in his own country and
in it's neighbor, England, Mr.. Simon is
compelled, in commenting on the enor-
nous change wrought in journalism by
the 1-cent movement. to point out that
no money can be made at that price by
the ADVERTISEMENTS drawn by the circula-
ton which supply the profits.

you are listened to by diplomats, studied
by fnanciers, discussed by the newspa-

advertiser cares about is the number

he buys.
"You are, therefore, obliged, on pain

what do you need to be? A savant?
No. Wise, far-seeing, rational? BY no

passion which dominates; it is scandal
which attracts and holds: it is hatred
which is contagious; it is folly which ex-
cites the Imagination.
1T is to whatever is silly and danger
GUS and unwholesome that such jour

of receiving, from on high the mama of

Evidence OF Tragic Death.

A ranchman on Willow creek, sixty
miles north of Casper, Wyo, made O
ghastly find while riding through draw
near his ranch. 1t consisted of the
rusty barrel and rotten stock of rifle,
broken and lying near the skull and
other bones of a human being. The
weather-beaten bones and dilapidated
gun gave evidence that they had lain
where found for at least twenty years,
and told the story of death either at
the hands of savages or wild animals.
The ramrod was broken in the barrel
and the rifle was evidently broken while
being used as a club. The only lettering
that could be found on the remnants of
the gun were the words, IN. p. Demar-
est. Rochester"
