THREE SILENT SISTERS.

"There is III Tennessee family OF
three sisters which presents some of
the most startling peculiaritiesimasin.
able" said gentleman from the State
in question. who is stopping al one OF
the New Orleans hotels. 1.-THE three
sisters, all OF whom ere old maids, live
together on a farm. their sole means
of subsistence, and work early and
late to earn a livelihood. Two of
them work IN the field, while the third
does all tine cooking and other house
work. There Is but one period Of the
year when any member OF the trio has
anything to sey to any other member.
All during the winter, spring and
summer they go about their business
with the seal of silence on their lips.
When fall comes and the crop is bar.
vested they break the silence, and
then only to quarrel like demons over
d division of the proceeds. When
each has succeeded in getting oil that
she thinks possible, silence reigns
again until the next harvest time.
The sisters have made name TO,
themselves. They are known lar ano
near as the deaf and dumb trip.ets,
although this title is scarcely appro'

"The cowardice of alligators is we'll

gan to swim across after the boat.
Almost Immediately several alligators,
lying with the tips of their noses
above the surface, began to move
after the dog, and soon came within
few feet of the animal. He realized
that be was being chased, and pro.
ceeded to turn the tables by chasing
them. He barked and turned to make
for the gators, but they got out OF

Ewes APPLES.

The Hindoos and the Buddhists hav>
always claimed that the Island of Cey.
lon is the site of the Biblical Garden
Of Eden. They. bring several things
TO the support OF their arguments on
this score. Among other things they
say that it is the only spot on earth
where the botanical curiosity called
"Eve's applet will grow and mature.
The color of this queer fruit, which
hangs from the branches in a very
peculiar and striking manner, is very
beautiful. being orange on the outside
and deep crimson within. 1t is called
''Eve's APPLE because every fruit, lit
lie aud big, has the appearance OF
na1ing q piece bitten out OF one side.
sight teeth marks are plain TO be seer
in the fully 1natured fruit. foua below
aud four above. This singular mark,
together with the fact that the fruit Is
deadly poison, has caused the be
stowal OF the peculiar name. The na
tive name of the fruit is kadurn, which
signifies forbidden. The botanica
name is hortus kewensis. The tr q
and fruit were first described by Righ
Hon. Alexander johnson in l942.-St

dairyman of the Colorado valley, came
to town greatly excited and purchased
several boxes OF cartridges. The day
before while his children were playing
on the bank OF q laguns near his place
and about one-half mile from Captain
Ingalls, ranch, they saw what appeared
to be log in the water.
''The object commenced to move in
the water and the children noticed it
was some kind of animal they had
never seen before. Becoming alarmed
they began to call for help and started
for home on the dead run. They told
their father what they had seen, and,
taking his shotgun. he went down to
investigate.
"On reaching the laguna he saw in
tho middle of the stream an animal
about ten or twelve feet in length, and
from the description he gave there is
no question but what it was an ALI.

shotgun and probably hit it, for the
monster swan swiftly to some arrow

Sand Baths.

At the reunion recently Of Swiss

ard read o paper on the sand bath,
showing that inva1ids have been COM

heated to temperature varying, &C.
cording to the case, from forty.6ve TO
sixty.6ve degrees centigrade. The
sand, it appears, containing dir be.
tween its particles and being bad
conductor of heat, transmits it IN q
gentle and almost insensible manner {;
perspiration is favored up to point
where the patient may lose two quarts
of liquid in one sand bath. and by this
evaporation an invalid may support
continued high temperature without
the actual temperature of the body
rising more than q few degrees; this,
too, without fear OF heart affections,
If care be taken to put hot sand on the
feet at the outset. DR.. Suchard states
that the number of ailments that may
be thus treated is considerable, and is
especially beneficial in chronic rheu'
matism and govt; neuralgia and sci
atica arc cured or relieved by local or
general baths. The most remarkable
success has attended such Treatment;

Residents Of Bath, N. Y, have taken Q
great fancy of late to Lake Salubria, which
lies Just outside the village, and during the
past two years a score Of new cottages havo
gone up on its shores. Choice locations arc
careful now to keep what dooryard they
have left. Your correspondent visited the
Lake recently and dropped in to see "Uncle
Billy" Hubbel in his comfortable cottage
under the pines. Mr.. Hubbell. established
himself at the Lake before the boom COM
menced, and has one OF the prettiest loos-
tons there. {
Mr.. Hubhell said that this was the first
spring In twenty years in which he had booa
free from his old enemy, sciatic rheumatism-
He thought he had contracted this disease
whi!o running as express messenger on tho
Erie and other railroads between l849 and
1859, although lie did not feel its acute
symptoms until some fifteen years later. Mr.
Hubbell is now the second Oldest expressman
in the United States and recalls many inter-
esting "reminiscences OF these early days. In
1876 he went to tho Western frontier, and
has suffered from sciatic rheumatism ever
since. Speaking OF the many efforts he had
made to get relief from this painful atIment,,
he said that while in New Mexico he visited
he tried those at Manitou, COL, and Little
Rock, Ark. Coming cast he tried the White
Sulphur Spring. Ohio. st. Catherine, Can,
and Clifton and Avon, in New York, but
without being able to get the slightest relief.
AS he advanced in age. his trouble became
| more painful. "Why," he exclaimed, point
ing to the farm house OF William Burleson,
about six hundred feet distant, II would
yell 80 when those twinSes caught me that
they could hear me down there"
William II. Hallock, owner OF Hullock's
bank, in Bath, is q nephew OF Mr.. Hubbei,
and last winter he insisted that "Uncle BIZ
ly" should try Pink Pills for Pale People for
his rheumatism. Mr.. Hubbell is free to say
that he had no faith in the pills whatever,
and only tried them because of the insist
encs OF Mr.. Hallock. He had already tried
more than million remedies" before he
came to Plnk Pills and as none had rendered
him the slightest benefit. he was pretty we'll
lock, he got box Of Pink Pills. Since then
(some three or four months), Mr.. Hubbell
has not felt single trace OF rheumatism,
and is now on his fourth box OF the pills. He
cannot explain how this marvellous relief
was effected. bat feels sure it was the pills
which did it, and is now. as enthusiastic in
their endorsement as was his nephew, Mr..
Hallock Mr.. Hubbell now comes into Bath
almost every day. and says he could ride q
bicycle il he only had some ono to help him
on and of.
