We consent" cried the counsel for the
prisoner.
Off came Parker's boots, and his feet
were put on the counsels' table, where the
jury could examine them thoroughly.
There was no sign of a scar On them. The
jury acquitted the prisoner without leav.

went away still convinced that he was
Hoag, and had got rid of the scar by
means of legerdemain
Parker lived many years in tho city of
New York after this, says the BROOKLYN

further about his mysterious double, who
had SO nearly brought about his imprisop

Mark Twain and Lincoln.

Perhaps it were as well, says Charles
Miner Thompson in The Atlantic, to
attribute the popularity Of Abraham
Lincoln to his jokes as the vogue of
Mark Twain to his extravagant foolery.
In the conventional sense, Mark Twain
is no more literary artist than, in the
conventional sense, Lincoln was a gen.
tleman. But, in spite Of lack Of polish,
Lincoln was great. May not Mark
Twain, the writer, in spite Of his crude
literary manners, be great also? The
mere possibility ought to be enough in
itself to secure him sympathetic and
serious consideration.

 1It ffords me pleasure to add my testi- amonywith others regarding the healing effects of Paine's celery compound upon an exhausted nervous system"
 Aug. 12, 1897, she wrote: ''As a rule do not endorse medicines, but 1 believe Paine's celery compound to be of different order from the ordinary medicines Facts cannot be disputed. I have derived so much benefit from the compound that I am glad to heartily recommend 1t, hoping Others similarly afflicted may be relieved Any medicine that will relieve suffering humanity is blessing to the world

 Paine's celery compound has been proven to be the one great remedy that really makes people we'll.

Commerce of HaMaii

Uncle Sam's grant interest in the
 future of Hawaii is explained with em-
 phasis by the figures of Hawaiian com
 merce. More than 91 per can't of the trads of the Hawaiian Islands is with the United States. The trade of Ger
 many snd of England is decreasing, small ss it Is at the best, t,whIle She trade with China snd Japan, insignificant enongh, shows signs of increase.
 The calendar year 1895 marked the highest point yet attained in the com merciel developments of she Hawaiian Islende, the total value of the merchsn- disc imported eBd exported through her ports amounting to s21, ,578, ,882 54 The average annual trade for the dec- ade 1887 1897 vss only a little more than S16.OO0,O0O.
 Hawaips exports ara greatly in excese of her imports. Of She s21 ,5OOOOO total trade, S15.O0O.OO0 represented hhe ex porte. The product that cuts the big gest figure ID her exporte, of course, Is sugar, of which shis cou8sry gets over S11, 100000 wo7th. Almost all of HaWsii's exports are agricultural, while it is the other way with her imports. Most of the agricultural product which we send to Hawaii is iu She form of bresdstuffs. Bat onF proportion in Hawaiian imports is not so great es cur share fn her exports. Still it has in creased from 94 per cent. in 1887 1891 to 78 per cent. in 1892 1896. China and Japan also have increased their snare in Hawaiian imports.
 It is this percentage of less than so which pulls down She total psrceutege of our trade with Hawaii, for our share of the exports with that country is over go per cent. 4 rapid increase of ship ments to Canada has been shown. not l great in ths aggregate, but by comparI- son with former yesre.
 or course she growth Of our trade re- Ietions with Hawaii hes been due largely to She reciprocity treaty which we made with her in 1876.
 While the value of coffee imported | nto the United States from Hawaii is | not great, ib has shown a remarkable | Dcresee in the Iass three years.

remedies: Paine's celery compound is best known from the mouths of men an women whom 1t has made well-they are in every city, town and village in the country
 No one can pass the newspaper bulletins without being reminded by how slight a thread the best of men hold on life. The slight ups and downs in health from which people recover make them forget that there is limit to the body'S elasticity and en- durance. The habitually exhausted nerv- ous system at last loses its power of recovery and offers no resistance to disease.
 Prevent disease" is the watchword of the best medical thought of today Careful men and women do not wait until they are flat on their backs as people once did The more intelligent part of every community has found out the inestlmable benefit to be derived from Paine's celery compound, when one is wora out, nerve-tired and out of sorts.
 The little ills. the beginning of neuralgia and rheumatism, the ''all -gonen and tired feelings show the immediate need of purify ing the blood and refreshing the nerves. The direct and energetic way Paines celery compound overcones the sick and nervous headaches, dyspepria and heart troubles, as it does all other nervous disorders. has com pelled the admiration of the medical world from the start.
 Headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, life less feelings, and debility cannot persist when intelligeutly met and corrected by this greatest of nerve and brain strengthen CTS No remedy ever kept the confidence of so large body of inquiring men and wo- men. Try it.
