BILE place 10 the world" remark ed an
English woman in 1858. Il shall
stay here the rest Of my natural
life "
The woman who made this re-
markable statement was spinster
and she lived at Teignmouth. Dew
onshire, England. She kept her
wcrd, and for nearly forty years size
stayed IN bed. She was 3S wears
old when she made the assertion.
She had retired to bed the night
before in the best of health ard
there was no apparent reason why
she should not have arisen the next
morning But she concluded that
she would remain where she was
and her relatives concluded that it
would be best to humor her whim.
SO she stayed in bed and her meals
| were taken TO her. The bed she oc-
cupled was in a room upstairs, snd
for two years she stayed there Then
she was removed to room on the
lower floor where she could watt h
the front gate and the ward. She
had Il series of mirrors arranged so
that she could see the entrance to
the house and the entire yard. aud
she was thus able to know what
was going on. Her hearing became
abpormally acute and she could hear
noises that We're inaudible to other
residents of the house.
Her mother and father died and
she still remained in bed. She be-
came owner of the small estate. and
she managed it with skill and iuds-
ment, but she adhered to Ter deter.
mination of remaining in bed. She
died last week at the age of II. The
doctors who held the autopsy said
that her lungs and heart We're sound
and that had she lived the usual
life she would have been good for
ten or fifteen years longer, She ate
usual meals all of the forty years,
took no medicine aud there was no
apparent change in her constitution
until a few months before her death.

sTEINAU'S FAILURE.
II B. Blackburn Made Permanent
Receiver of the Assets

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 10.-The receivership
proceedings in the Steinau case came to
a close this afternoon after a five days
hard-fought battle.
r. b. Blackburn, the temporary re-
ceiver, was made permanent receiver, and
was instructed to take charge of all the
identified goods lodged in various places,
and was ordered to hold all recovered
goods located by him.
Simon was enjoined from foreclosing his
mortgage on the stock but the Capital
City Bank and julius L. Brown were al
lowed to foreclose their mortgages on all
goods except those put in the hands of
the receiver by the order passed to-day.
The receiver is also directed to take
charge of the goods in the Pabst place,
subject to the right of Schoen to give
bond for them, and upon his failure so
to do in three days the receiver is to re-
tain them. He Is to retain the books and
accounts not enumerated in the order.
The mortgage of Grabfeller & Co. was
also enjoined They were given the right
to foreclose, provided they discharged the
indebtedness for which Ii was given.
No bond was required of the receiver,
which speaks highly of his management
of the business part i'm his hands.

Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, l began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took Hoods
Sarsap arilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. S. S. WRoTEN, Farming

saw and made for the officer He re-
treated and admonished the negro to stop

1t is not generally known that General
Washington was killed in a most cruel and
barbarous manner. but it is, nevertheless,
a fact
AT the time of his death, Washington
was in his sixty-eighth year. a strong, ro-
bust man. On December y, 1893, he con-
tracted a severe cold and pneumonia
threatened. Two doctors were summoned,
and, in accordance with the absurd Gus
tom of those days they proceeded t&bleed
their patient. Nearly a quart of blood
was taken from his veins, until at last he
begged them to let him die in peace. He
died that same day-not from disease, but
actually from loss of blood. He was kill
ed by ignorance!
In these days, any doctor who treated
patient as Washington was treated, would
be indicted for manslaughter. The world
was moved since then, and there has been
complete revolution in the practice of
medicine. Instead Of lowering the vital
forces by thinning the blood, advanced
physicians now endeavor to build up the
strength of their patients. They employ
only the latest and most scientific rene
dies.
And yet, in spite of this fact, we find
thousands of people endeavoring to i'm
prove their health by taking old-fashioned
medicines. They forget that chemists and
