sick person trying to keep up on mere
stimulating tonics Is like any one pretend
ing to swim while supported BY belt The
instant the support Is withdrawn down
you go.
Nearly all diseases result from a deep.
seated impairment of the nutritive powers
which cannot be reached by any temporary
exhilaration. The only good that any med.
icine can do is to increase your own natural
powers of recovery and make you able to
swim for yourself.
The facilitating weakness, nervousness
and digestive disorder which indicates this
state of mal-nutrition can only be overcome
by scientific remedy like DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery which acts di-
reotly upon the digestive and blood-makine
organs, and effects the nutritive transforma-
ton of food into rich, healthy blood, which
carries genuine permanent vitality to every
corner Of the system.
1t Is vastly more nutritious than malt
extracts. 1t does not paralyze the nerves,
but feeds them with health. 1t is better
than cod liver oil emulsions. 1t is assimi-
lated by the weakest stomachs. 1t does
not make flabby useless fat, but muscular
strength and healthy nerve-force. 1t is the
only perfect invigorant for corpulent people.
Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry Co, Ind,
writes: In the year of 1894 1 was taken with
stomach trouoie-nervous dyspepsia. There was
GOODNESS in my stomach, and weight which
seemed like rock. Everything that ate gave
me great pain; had bearing down sensation;
was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge
around my right side aud in a short time was
bioated. was treated by three OF our best ply
sicians but got no relief Then Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery recommended to
me and got 1t, and commenced the use Of 1t. I
began to see change for the better was so
weak could not walk across the room without
assistance. I took DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery and one bottle OF the Pleasant Pei
let's began to improve very fast after the use
of few bottles. The physicians who attended
me said had dropsy and that my disease was
leading into pulmonary consumption. l had
quite cough and the home physicians gave me
up todie. THANK God that my cure Is permanent"

CLEVER MOUSE ENGINEER.
Constructed a Spiral Gallery to Es-
cape from a Post Hole

Along the mountainous shore of
Lake Lucerne, in Switzerland, carved
in the face of the cliff, runs famous
road called the Axenstrasse. In sew
eral places where the hills jut out in
precipitous bluffs over the water it
becomes an actual tunnel, sort Of
gallery cut through the solid rock,
partly open, however, on the side to-
ward the lake. 1t has long been
considered a great feat Of engineering
skill, yet it was once closely paralleled
One cannot say imitated-by an
ignorant little field mouse. AS usual
with both mice and men, necessity
was the mother of invention.
That this was mouse of more
than ordinary skill and experience
the event sufficiently proved, but he
was racing rather recklessly across
the garden and it CHANGED that he
fell into a post hole. AS this hole
was about three feet deep, with per-
pendicular walls and narrow bot
tom, he found himself as helpless as
young Joseph when his brothers left
him in the pit. He tried in vain to
scramble up the sides, he leaped with
all his strength again and again; at
last he gave it up and crouched pant
ing and discouraged on the loamy
floor.
The mind of a mouse works rather
slowly, except when the claws of a
cat are near the tip Of his tail, and it
was some time before our prisoner
reasoned out his problem. At length,
however, he saw the solution and set
to work without further loss of time.
He had a life to save, and only his own
little brain and feeble paws to do it
with.
So he began to excavate spiral gall
lery running around the perpendicu-
lar sides of the hole very much on this
plan Of the Axenstrasse, and grad
ually bringing the little deliver near
er the top, But like many another
amateur engineer who goes ahead
without an adequate survey of the
ground, hemet with anunexpected OBJ
stacle. About halfway up he en-
countered stone, firmly imbedded
and so large that he could not tunnel
around it. Here again was a pause
and sadness and cogitation. But
again the diminutive brain was equal
to the emergency-though ordinarily
it doesn't contain wit enough to keep
its owner out Of a palpable trap with
the dead bodies Of three or four of
his neighbors stuck in it for a warn
ing For a mouse our long-tailed en-
gineer was nothing less than a genius;
he reversed his plans, set his back to
the rock, started his spiral in the OPP
posite direction, and finally reached
the surface. Certainly he had earned
his freedom, and let us hope that the
clever little fellow never fell victim
to either cat or trap.-Philadelphia

Pigment Of Negro Hair.

In the present state of scientific
knowledge it can only be said that
the pigment Of the negro's hair is
not different from the dark pigment
found in the hair Of the white races,
and that the pigment of the black
skin differs only In amount.
