A Costly Tomb.

Probably the most costly piece of mortuary architecture that ever was or will be erected is the structure at Winchester, Mass, wherein lies the remains of Dr. Francis B. Hitler, the total expenditure of which has been nearly S50O,0OO. The carved cssket containing the body cost alone S50,0O0, a similar one being placed at its side in readiness for Mrs. Killers corpse. It was by her directions that this magnificent tomb was built. The area of the building is 5000 square feet, and its height is 75 feet. It has . dome resembling that of an Oriental mosque, the front being of Gothic design. Wrought iron and brass have been used most lavishly for the gates and other portions of the buildings. while the lamp which illumines the post of a watchman (whose wages are paid out of a special fund provided for the pur- pose) cost some $l0000. The knobs to the outer doors are of solid gold, weighing four pounds each, while the medallions on the caskets each contain $500 worth of gold.-E1.

He Jn.t Secs. but Never Lie.


 Joe MulhattOn, of prevaricatien newspaper fame, is sojourning in Tucson. The Star has the follow ing to say concerning him: Mir Joseph MulhattOn, who is interest ed in some valuable mining proper ties near Riverside, and is tempora- rily residing in Tucson, is a gentle man of national sreputation. His lame has peryaded every newspaper office in the United States for more than ten years. He Is commercial traveller by occupation, but be has | found time Go go around and find curious things and investigate phe- nomena that less iDquiriug people had quite overlooked. Mir. Mulhat- ton has traced to their lair more and bigger aereOlites than scientists would have supposed had fallen since the world began. He has dis covered illimitable lakes of ink. He accidentally Y stumbled across a pool whose waters turned black hair to an auburn of the most fashionable hue. He has found caves of such extent that the Mammoth aperture, of which Kentuckians boast, might be concealed in one of its most iu- significant hooks.
 MT. MulhattOn IS a graphic and pleasing descriptive writer and he has never failed to inform the world of his finds. His letters and tele- grams are prepared right on the spot, while the matter is fresh in his mind, and thus he avoids inac- curacies.
 "A great many people have ac- cused him from time to time of unrellablllty as q correspondent, they have said that the wonderful things he has seen are creatures of a lively and superheated imagina- tion. ThIs Is all jealousy of Mir. Mulhstton's success, which proves that there are many strange and re- markable things to be seen in this world if one only goes around with his eyes open"
 If asked the question "HaTe you got stOInachf' 1t would be safe on general principles, to answer Yes" But, if you are SURE of it; that is, if you ever feel any distress after eating or any pains of whatever de- scriptIon in the region of the stom- ach, you have got something more than an ordinary stomach; in other words, you have got diseased stomach.

ComparaIIre Meuther Report

The rainfall this month has already exceeded that of any July since there has been auy rec ord kept of it. In searching through the archives of the JOURNAL MINER, in which statistics for refer ence are kept, blue print was found to-d day giving the monthly and annual precipitation from January, 1876, to September, 1890. From it the rainfall for July during that period has been as follows: 1876, 8 2S; 1877, 1.29; 1878, 0.91; 1879, 1S7; 1880, 2.34: 1881, S.27; 1882, l.64; lSSS, 3.20; 1884, 1.33; 1885, 253; 1Se6, 0.61; 1887, 2.64; 1888, 249; 1889, 1.45; 1890. PA: The rainfall up to date for this month has been 40 inches. During Au- gust, during the above period, with the single exceptions of 1877, 1887 and 1888, the rainfall has been greatly in excess of July, and if next month keeps pace, in propor- tion with the present, We may eX- pect to witness floods such as have never been experienced here. A few samples of the heaviest rainfall for August are herewith given: 1876, 4.5l: 1878, 6.34; 1881, 5.25; 1886, 4.3l; 1890, 402.

Although Mrs. Collins writing has al
ways been labor of love, yet such inces-
SAINT mental exertion could not fail to
have its effect on her nervous system.
AT one time she found herself tired ont
and weak from her uninterrupted work;
she became nervous and Incapable Of
work; she even saw nervous prostra-
ton staring her in the face. The general
toning up that her system needed so badly
she found In Paines celery compound.
Today she Is perfectly we'll and strong
again, busy as ever with her brain and
pen, and grateful to Paine's celery COM
pound for the timely help when failure
and trouble and despair seemed about to
close round her and shut her off from
everything that was dear.
Your constant brain work must tell
on your strength, - observed the reporter.
Yes; you have no idea how much am
at my de SIX for nine or ten hours a day"
she replied, II am careful to obey the
laws of health, and l am never without q
supply OF Paine's celery compound
When feel weak and nervous and there
is heaviness in my brain or shooting
pain over the eyes, which warns me that
my energy is tagging, l take little of
the compound, and am s.ronR and free
from pain at once. 1 never enjoyed such
buoyaney of spirits and soundness of
body before made the acquaintance Of
Paine's celery compound. Scarcely day
passes that do not urge some friend to
take it. For neuralgia, indigestion, nor
vous prostration and blood disorders, l
am convinced that there is nothing like
Paine's celery compound. l am not sur
prised that physicians use it in difficult
cases
Paine's celery compound is found to
best supply the great need of studious,
sedentary people. Its extensive use by
brain workers, both men and women,
suffering from sleeplessness, indigestion
or other effects of a deficient nerve force,
shows Its ability to feed tired, emaciatedl,
nervous tissues. Nothing else has ever
possessed anything like the power Of
Palne's celery compound to restore .
healthy nervous tone to the entire body,
and to thoroughly cleanse the blood
School teachers, professional men, news
paper men, ministers, public officials,
men whose daily outlay Of vitality, be-
cause of hard, trying, anxious work, is
excessive, find renewed strength, not only
of the nerves, but through their healthy
action, Of the entire body, in Paipe's
celery compound. Its use shortly dispels
headaches, rheumatic pains, dyspepsia,
heart trouble general debility and languor,
and all other outward signs of the grave
mischief that comes from disordered
nerves and impure blood
