Here is case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the tortures
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. n. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
"When my son, Will, was six years
Old, small sore appeared on his lip,
which di3 not yield to the usual treat

gave him great deal Of pain, and con-
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
CATER much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down TO the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but I thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many REM
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice Of friend, decided to try SIS.
(Swift's Specifc), and with the second
bottle he began to improve. After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was permanent one, Tor he IS
now seventeen years old, and has never
had sign of the dreadful disease to re-
turn"
SIS. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scrofula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc.
1t is the only blood remedy guaranteed

Colonel Stewart of the British forces:

Captain Bliss was like all seamen, a
strict diseiplinarian, and his crew re-
spectcd him beyond measure. Not one
of them would have dreamed of inter
preting a command otherwise than ac-
cording to the strict letter of the law.
Things must be done shipshape under
his rule.
One day, while the ship was in Ger.
tain port, the captain gave a dinner &c
some town acquaintance, and as the
resources Of the ship were not great
some of the sailors We're dcruted to wait
ON the table to re-enforce the insufficient
number of stewards
AS these men were not used to such
work each one was told exactly what
service would fall to his share
The hour came, and the dinner went
merrily on. Presently, however, one OF
the ladies wanted piece Of bread.
There was none very near her, and the
finely disciplined stewards seemed to be
quite oblivious to her need. She turned
her head and spoke very softly to the
man at her elbow.
"Brcad, please, . she said
He looked rcgretfully at the bread
and then at her 1t was evident that he
would fam have helped her if it had
been in his power. He saluted in fine
naval style

According to Professor Max Weber Of
Amsterdam, the only animals which
surpass man in the absolute weight of
their brains are elephants and whales,
but there are several that rank ahead
of him i'll the ratio of the brain weight
to the total weight of the body. All of
these, however, are comparatively small
animals, Among them are many mon
keys and certain members of the squir-
rel and mouse families No animal of
greater bodily size than man has brain
which is relatively as large as his Up
on the whole, it seems that mans men
tai superiority is due rather to the quail
ity and organization than to the size Of
his brain.

Left on q Desert Island.

Wise scientists went forth from San
Francisco on March 3, on the schooner
Wahlberg, to gather specimens of sea
life. They were college professors,
ichthyologists and men like that.
They put into San Diego on July
81, with FIVE tons of deep.sea treasures
and four marooned miserables whom
they rescued from the desert island of
Natividad--four wild, wretched crea-
lures who passed eight horrible months
on the island.
The four men are Sergeant Sanford
and Private Connors of Company II,
First infantry, of San Diego barracks;
Jack pampier, and William Andrews
who were rescued when on the verge
of death on Natividad Island. San
ford and Connors had been on three
months furlough aad went down the
coast with Dampier and Andrews and
others on guano-poaching expedition
in the junk Hongkong.
That was over eight months ago.
At Cedros Island the rest of the crew
took the Hongkong and left the four
men on Natividad Island, with quite
lot of water and provisions and pro-
missing to return for them after their
cruise to Turtle bay.
There was no fresh water on the
island and no rain fell. They
measured the supply drops, watching
day and night for sail. They had
abandoned hope when the Wahlberg
appeared. And indeed they must
have died had not the scientific party
rescued them. New York World.

The Freezing Process,

In mining for gold in Siberia the
ground is kept clear Of snow, so as to
permit the cold to penetrate as deep
ly as possible, after which the surface
is thawed by fires until shallow
layer of earth can be removed. The
freezing is then allowed to proceed,
and the thawing operations repeated,
and this is continued as long as the
cold weather lasts, says q writer in
the Engineering Magazine. In this
way through the long Siberian winters
open excavations are made to the gold
bearing rocks, the depths obtained
being from twenty-five to seventy-fve
feet, according to the duration OF the
cold season.
Artificial cold for purposes Of exca-
walton was first used by Poetsch in
1888; by his well known process OF
cold brine through series of buried
pipes the most difficult quicksand may
be made hard enough to be excavated
like rock. In the article under con-
sideration are given general illustra.
tons and details Of the apparatus used
IN sinking the shafts at the Courrieres
mines, together with formulas enab-
ling the safe thickness Of frozen wall
10 be computed for round or square
shafts of any given dimensions.
Among the important applications
Of the freezing process are noted the
sinking of the shafts for the cylinders
of the hydraulic elevator for the canal
lift at Les Fontinettes, and the con-
struction of tunnel ut Stockholm.
The latter work was executed en-
tirely by the introduction OF cold air
into the working chamber at the head
of the tunnel, the cold preventing in
filtration of water until the beton lin
ing was built, and the work Of excavat-
ing and mining being carried on at
temperatures ranging between zero
and 25 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Sewing Machine,

How many women who, day after
day, keep up the rocking motion of
the sewing machine treade ever stop
to think what this invention means,
not only to them, but to the whole
world? And do they know that 80
per cent. of all the machines made in
the world are the product of this great
country of ours?
Sewing machines have revolution
lied many branches of business; espe-
cially is this the case in all kinds of
leather work, from the heaviest harness
to the lightest gloves.
A really first-class machine ready
for market costs about $40. From
this figure the price drops to about
Sll, with possibly Sl2, for the most in
ferior grades of what are considered
tolerable machines. Hundreds of
thousands of persons make their en-
tire living by means of the sewing ma
chine, and probably millions are gain
'ers by its use. During period of
over 30 years the value of the exports
of sewing machines was something
like S70,000,000. In 1896 they were
considerably over $1,000. 900. Three
hundred and fifty Thousand pairs of
shoes were sewed by machinery prior
to 1877, and this product has multi
piled almost past belief since that
date.-New York Ledger.
