HOW TO CURE RHKUMAr1sM.

but found no relief until she used
this Pain Balm; one bottle OF
which has completely cured her.

The Coming Fashionable Bonnet,

That plated straw, yellowish in
tint, will form the fashionable
bonnet there can be no doubt.
But the shape selected will depend
this season, more than ever before,
on that fancied by the wearer.
Since the Directoire, First Empire
and Louis Sixteenth styles are all
in vogue with a suggestion OF the
large bonnets fancied during the
early part Of this century, and the
small bonnets such as were In
vogue among the beauties OF the
Second Empire, it would seem as
il every face should be suited.
The fact that the stock and the
jsbot are growing nearer and
nearer to the ears means, SO say
the milliners, the coming in OF
ribbon ties, and broad ones at
that. Importers announce that
the enormous straw hats will be
tied by inch-wide ribbons under
the chin, while the the small
bonnets will be put on securely
with three-inch-w wide ties.-March

DIDN'T MAKE A CONTRACT.
The Fact Brought Sorrow to m Amera'
can Abroad

The Fact Brought Sorrow to m Amera-
can Abroad
A well-known Philadelphia lawyea, ,
who has just returned from abroad, tells
tho Record a rather remarkable story
Of his experience with doctor in Paris.
"Over there" he remarked, Everything
II done by contract-a fact which dis
covered to my sorrow. Ny wife caught
. severe cold and was taken quite i'll.
i called in French physician who had
been highly recommended by the pro-
prietor Of the hotel at which was stop
ping, and he paid five visits to my wife,
after which she was so much improved
that his services were no longer re-
quired. The next day received his bill
for $500 francs, which is equivalent to
$500. Thinking a mistake had been
made, / went to his Office, where he
smilingly assured me that the bill was
correct. To my circumstances he re-
piled: But monsieur made no contract
with me- When told him wouldn't
pay such an exhorbitant bill, he in
formed me that it would then be i'm.
possible for me to leave France. In des.
peration I consulted friend of mine
who resides in Paris and found that
the frog-eating doctor had me where
the hair was short, and in the end I had
| to pay it"

TWO FISH PROBLEMS.
Observations and Reflections of Back
woods Sage.

woods Sage.
"Do fish feel pain?" dunno-I never
was fish, says writer in Outing. Yet
l have observed freshly-landed fish to
execute certain movements which
seemed to indicate that the fish felt
something; mebbe 'twasn't pain. 1t
nay have been simply agony, or any old
thing like that. Those who used in
their younger days to carry in their
trousers pocket a cork stuck full of
hooks may remember occasions when
a hook worked free from the cork.
Once l accidentally hooked pointer
dog by the ear, and the language he
used and the way he ran out of line
convinced me that he felt something.
He may have felt only a pleasant sem
sation, but he didn't come within so
feet of me for two hours. The desperate
sagging back and zigzag resistance of
hooked fish, the wild fipfaps and
straining gasps of a freshly-landed fish
may be evidences of pleasurable SEN
sations, but l am tempted to consider
them as closely allied to that joyous
thrill which prompts man TO rise
above the insiduous caress of strong,
well-bent pin. do fish feed at night?"
Well, well-do fish swim? Country
boys, how about the big fire beside the
water? How about the boy who got
first to the big boom and thus secured
the boss place? How about the spiky-
filmed channel cats and mud cats that
came up two at time; the goggle-eyed
rock bass, special prizes; the hideous
mud puppies" which at once went
into the fire along with yard of line?
How about the night lines? How about
everything connected with the sport
that used to get better and better as
midnight approached, until the glo-
rious fun and occasional profanity were
interrupted by the sound of the "old
man" falling foul of a wire fence or
breaking CAD from the plum tree up

Never Saw uimsclf Before.

The London Globe relates a story Of
an old Hampshire peasant farmer who
came to town to buy hat, and was re-
quested to look in the glass to see If
the hat suited his taste. The customer
stood before the glass as though fas-
cinated by his reflected image. Pres
emily he slowly inquired: ''Wull-is
--that-me?" "Of course it is, guv'-
nor" was the shopman's reply. "Why,
don't you know yourselfP" Il be 60
years DID," said the ancient, after an
other pause, land / dunno as ever l see
my face aforel" And when, his pur'
chase completed, he turned to depart
he walked up to the looking-glass
again, saying: TN take just one more
look at meser, for l dunno as ever
shall ha' the chance again"

DOG DETECTIVE.

Upon Three Months In Vain.

Does What Human Sleuths Had Worked
Upon Three Months in Vain.
The Cincinnati papers contain an al
most incredible story, which, neverthe-
less, seems to be well authenticated.
In the early spring of 1895, a business
man of Cincinnati, Charles Hermann
by name, disappeared, and no trace of
him could be found. For three months
detectives worked upon the case with
out avail.
Soon after his disappearance, Her
mann's dog was found, badly poisoned.
and near the point of death. The ami
NAL was sent to the hospital for dogs,
and remained there two months under
treatment, not being suffered to 60
out. But his life was saved.
When at last the dog was liberated.
he began TO search for his master; and
after a good deal of running about,
commenced digging on the banks Of
the Ohio river, opposite Cincinnati.
There, after time, he nueartbed the
body Of Charles Hermann.
There are indications that a murder
was committed, and that poison was
administered to the dog at the same
time. Very likely it was thrown to
him by malfactors who dared not shoe,
or touch him.
Tho body was identified, but IN
fortunately the sagacious dog could do
no more.
