Seeds of the Mushroom.

The spores (seeds), composed of two
coated cell, are borne on the gills OF
tubes under the cap. One plant often
produces 10000, 900 spores To see these
tiny spores you must cut the top of a
toadstool off and lay it right side up on
sheet of black paper. After a few hours
remove it carefully, and an exact rep
resentation of its shape will remain on
the paper, formed by the thousands OF
spores which have fallen out. IF the
spores fall on favorable soil, they ger
inmate and send out great numbers Of
tiny threads. These, becoming inter
twined and woven together, cover the
ground like the finest web, and this is
known as the mycelium, or ''spawn. -
The threads absorb nourishment and
carry it to the quickened spore. Mar

AFTER THIRTY YEARS
THE BUCKEYE STATE CONTRIB
uTEs A STORY.

How Fred Taylor, = Member Of the
Gallant 1s9th N. T., v. l., Finally
Found What He Has Sought Since
the War Closed.
From the Ashtabula, Ohio, Beacon.l
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and
brought up near Elmira, N. T., and
from there enlisted in the 189th 'regi-
ment, N. Y. V. l., with which he went
through the war, and saw much hard
service. Owing to exposure and hard
ships during the service, Mr.. Taylor
contracted chronic diarrhoea from
which he has suffered now over thirty
years, with absolutely no help from
physicians. By nature he was won
derfully vigorous man. Had he not
been, his disease and the experiments
of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing
which afforded him relief. He had ter
rible headaches, his nerves were shat
tered, he could not sleep an hour day
on an average, and he was reduced to
skeleton. A year ago he and his wife
sought relief in a change of climate
and removed to Geneva, O., but the
change in health came not. Finally
on the recommendation of f. j.
Hoffner, the leading druggist Of Cen
eva, who was cognizant of similar
cases which Pink Pills had cured, Mr..
Taylor was persuaded to try box.
GAS a drowning man grasps straw SO
I took the pills. says Mr.. Taylor, "but
with no more hope Of rescue. But
after thirty years Of suffering and
fruitless search for relief I at last
found it in DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The day after took the first pills
commenced to feel better and when
had taken the first box was in fact
new man." That was two months
ago. Mr.. Taylor has since taken more
of the pills and his progress is steady
and he has the utmost confidence in
them. He has regained full control of
his nerves and sleeps as we'll as in his
youth. Color is coming back to his
parched veins and he is gaining flesh
and strength rapidly. He is now able
to do considerable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his suffer-
ings, experience and cure to Beacon
reporter, Mrs. Taylor, who has been
his faithful helpmeet these many
years, said she wished to add her testi-
mony in favor of Pink Pills. s'To the
pills alone is due the credit of raising
Mr.. Taylor from helpless invalid to
the man he is today" said Mrs. Tay-
lor. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor cannot
gnd words to express the gratitude they
feel or recommend too highly Pink
Pills to suffering humanity. Any in
quiries addressed to them at Geneva,
O., regarding Mr.. Taylor's case they
will cheerfully answer as they are
anxious that the whole world shall
know what Pink Pills have done for
them and that suffering humanity may
be benefited thereby.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from DIR. Williams Medicine Com
pany, Schnectady, N. T., for 80 cents
per box, or six boxes for 50. so.

TIME AND TIDE.

"Time and tide wait for no man." saith
the adage-but there are many other
things of the non-waiting kind which will
not be put off and ought not to be. Half
the misery of the world is caused by delay,
and Rheumatism is one of those insidious
ills which demands prompt attention,
especially in mid-winter, when the cold
accelerates its action and intensifies pain.
If allowed to have its way, it will wait for
no man in its rapid development OF the
chronic stage. When this is reached, then
come troubles, not only in its misery but
in many ways where q helpless condition
throws the sufferer out of work and money.
But whether in it's acute, chronic or in
hammatory stage, don't wait. The tide of
pain will go on and so will loss of time.
At the same time we all know that st.
Jacobs Oil is made and sold for the ex-
press purpose of curing the worst cases in
their worst form at any stage. 1t has
cured and will cure in nine cases out Of ten.

For some they love the morning hours,
The yellow midday some,
But give to me the twilight when
The cricket voices come.
When bright against the hedgerows burn

For then meet my sweetheart with

den of the Catholic Sentinel this after
noon received a letter from priest at
Mount Angel, few miles from here, an
nouncing that Mrs. Mary Dickinson OF
that place had narrow escape from being
buried alive last Saturday afternoon
On Friday last the announcement OF Inc

funeral had been arranged for sunday
afternoon from the Catholic church In
Mount Angel.
The congregation had bled, the
pail was spread for the coffin, and the
priest and the servers awaited the arrival
of the funeral procession.
After so long delay as to warrant ap-.
prehensicn that something unusual had
occurred the priest sent messenger 10
urge haste. The messenger met another
from the Dickinson household who told
the cause of the delay.
When the undertaken put the lid on to
the coffin the consequent suffocation had
aroused the supposed corpse, and Mrs.

This is the last formal report that will be

Our reports from Kentucky are that Republi-

BEAUTIFUL "AIDAv Presented.
BriIiiGnt Opening of the Season of Grand
Opera.


NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 27.-The OPEN
ing night of the Mapleson Academy Opera
Company turned out to be a brilliant sue
cess. both socially and artistically. The
familiar old house was filed by an
audience that was from the first we'll dis
posed toward singers and performance.
The opera was aida" A little of the
inevitable nervousness inseparable from
the introduction of artists to perfectly
strange audience was observed in Signor
Durot (Rhadames) and Nine. Bonaplata-
Bau (Aida).
Nine. Bau is worthy of praise. Her
voice carries well and is steadily sustained,
but Is OF racy, pungent quality that re-
Quires familiarity to reconcile to its
peculiarity. She is good actress, with
out possessing either marked individual
ity or an excessive amount of grace. Bin
boni, Mapleson's young conductor, showed
himself a master. In the second act all
the Mapleson singers did conscientious
and capable work, and the audience was
excited to a pitch of enthusiasm. So
great was the applause and so constant
that finally all the cast, with Mapleson,
the conductor and the stage manager,
passed across the stage. If the promise of
last evening is fulfilled the public can ex-
pect much that is agreeable from this
opera season.

The pace is telling on both.

Round 2O-The New Orleans man is nearly

The Kid bangs the raw spot on Everharts ribs
time and time again. He lands on Jacks jaw

by Lavigne's glove against his head. -

and then the Kid put three straight let's on

light left on the head as the gong sounded;
Round 23-The Kid swings right on Ever

in the face ana ripped his right into Jack S

keep from falling. Three more body blows
from Lavigne and Jack makes only feeble

Everhart took punishment enough to
have finished half dozen men, and his
frequent recoveries were astonishing.
