FORCE OF ToADSTooLs.
They Are Fragile Things Wherein Mighty
Power Resides.

Power heeiues.
Not long ago a portion of the pavement
Al q street In Paris was heaved out OF Its
place in some mysterious manner. Before
IL could be replaced numerous toadstools
made their appearance In the gaping spaces
between the stones When the stones were
removed, IL was found that they rested
over an immense spongy mass of toadstool
growth, which had gone on increasing
until il made way through which 1t could
push its head into the air
One of the stones raised by 1t measured
feet 2 inches by 3 feet and weighed 200
pounds.
A more extensive injury was done In
the Same way years ago at Basingstoke.
Not many months after the town had
been paved the pavement was noticed to
exhibit an unovcnncss which could not be
accounted for
AS soon, however as the uncvenness
was sufficient to make openings between
the stones the hidden enemy made its ap-
pcarance in the shape of innumerable toad
stools. So completely had the spores or
spawn got possession Of the material on
which the pavements was laid that 1t had
TO be completely taken up and the whole
town had to be repaved.
The toadstool and its kind seem to flour
ish in places where the light is excluded
as in dark cellars, under flagstones and in
hollow trees. They require, however the
air, and certain, though it may be SMALL
amount of light, that they may reach their
perfect condition.
Every one has heard of the enormous
growths of fungi in some wine cellars.
A case is on record in which cask of
wine, having been left without attention
for three years in dark cellar was at the
end of that period found TO have been
borne on the surface of n mushroom
growth until it was forced against the
roof The fungus, moreover had got ac-
cess to the wine and had drunk 1t all, liv
ing upon its sugar, and so the more easily

the ground.

IN MEMORY OF TWO SLAVES.
Story of Two documents In the Wiids of
the Kittatiuny Mountains.

Story of Two l6unuments In the Wilds OF
the Kittatinny Mountains.
Nine miles northeast of Harrisburg, in
the solitude of the Kittatinny range of
mountains, stand two unique monuments.
The spot is far from any human habita-
ton, amid curiously shaped and massive
bowldars and on the very crests OF the
ridge The wandercr who by chance
strays into this region may well pause in
establishment before n roughly hewn rock
upon which stand two carved headstones
of white marble bearing the following in
scirptions
UNKNOWN.
Here in the solitude Of Gods acre lies one
whose life was filed with pathos and suffering
and who had a tragic end. He took the north
star as guide 10 liberty, yet in fitful mo-
ment. for fear OF betrayal, he took the deadly
cup TO save himself from bondage by his fell
low men.
Domino DIRIGE NOS
GEORGE WASHINGTON,
Died April 3, 1863
An honest colored man who lived and died
on this mountain. he is buried on the site of
his former home. His virtues are related by
all who know him.
REoUIEscAT IN PACE
Friend, pause and think Of the Brotherhood
Of God. One may have few more grains Of
pigment beneath his skin. Looking into the
portals Of eternity teaches us that the Brother
hood of Man Is inspired by Gods word. There
all prejudice OF race vanshes away.
The story of the two monuments dates
TO the days of the underground railroad,
when escaped slaves were pursued by their
southern masters. In 1851 George Wash
ington made his escape from a Virginia
plantation and after months Of adventure
reached the spot where the monuments
stand Choosing to live in freedom here
in the mountain Businesses, he built for
himself rude hut and lived the life Of q
hermit for period of l2 years. Gray and
bent with years, he finally passed away to
his reward, alone, as he had lived. After
many days tho body was found In kneel-
ing position under a giant pine overlook
ing the valley.
The elements of deeper tragedy enter
into the story of the unknown. Four
years after Washington had taken up his
abode on the mountain the unknown, also
"a fugitive slave, reached the spot In safety
and found shelter in the hermit's hut For
two years they lived together In peace and
safety, but one day word reached the un'
known that the agents of his former mas
ter were on his track and were but a few
miles distant. Choosing death rather thar
a return to slavery or the betrayal of his
friends hiding place, the unknown stole
away amid tho rocks and there died by hi
own hand.
A few years ago the remains Of the TIVE
slaves were buried side by side, close b.
their cabin, and n funeral service wa
held in the presence Of a large number o
people. The monuments were erected b.
the colorcd people of the state shortly aft
erward.-New York Sun.

people antagonize the ordinance be-
cause they say 1t will '1egalize" vice;
the liquor dealers are against It be-
cause they think it will confne liqour

THE METHODS OF A GREAT
TREATMENT FOR WEAKNESS
OF MEN.
Which Cured Him after Everything
Else Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough. but
when a man Is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness. the mental
forebodings are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let
up to the mental suffering day or night.
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely respon-
slble for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea OF sexual weakness until II was a
question whether he had not better
take dose OF poison and thus end all
his troubles. But providential inspira-
tion came to his aid in the shape OF a
combination of medicines that not only
completely restored the general health,
but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts
TO natural size and vigor. and he now
declares that any man who win take
the trouble to send his name and ad-
dress may have the method OF this won
derful treatment free. Now when
say free l mean absolutely without cost,
because l want every weakened man to
get the benefit OF my experience.
l am not philanthropIst. nor DO l
pose as an enthusiast. but there are
thousands Of men suffering the mental
tortures of weakened manhood who
would be cured at once could they but
get such a remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try TO study out how
1 can afford TO pay the few postage
stamps necessary to mail the informa-
tion, but send for 1t, and learn that
there are few things on earth that al
though they cost nothing to get they
are worth a fortune to some men and
mean a lifetime OF happiness to most
of US. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 1888,
