Mr.. William Sewers, ofBradford, Ohio,
wa cured by S.S.S. ten years ago of a
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
81 had a terrible blood disease which
is considered incurable, and was treated
for a long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get a frrner hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, which
were soon full of vile ulcers.
"I changed doctors several times, anu
afterwards took nearly every blood REM
edy on the market, without the slightest
benefit. After FIVE years of treatment
which did me no good whatever, I was
induced to try SIS. This remedy
proved itself equal to the case, for in a
few months I was entirely cured and MY
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
I could hardly believe that the cure was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and nc sign of the disease has yet ap-
peared."
SIS. is a sure cure for Cancer, Ca
tarrh, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrot-
ula, Rheumatism, Eczema, and all other
blood diseases, which other remedies
have no effect whatever upOn. 1t is

A CURIOUS OCCUPATION.
Men Who Live In Dark Caverns In France
and Raise Mushrooms.

The cultivation Of mushrooms is really
n matter Of "ancient history" in France.
The people are so fond OF them and
find them SO nutritious as well as profit
able that very few Frenchmen are so
poor as to be obliged to 90 without their
beloved vegetable.
Notwithstanding the antiquity Of the
mushroom it is, even in these days OF
enlightenment, mystery. Nobody,
save few savants, knows much about
it, but everybody in France knows that
it can be made to grow in almost any
quantity desired.
The mushroom loves a place that il
cool, damp and dark, and it is for this
reason that the mushroom is almost IN
variably cultivated in subterranean ex-
cavations throughout France.
In the department of the Seine there
are over 5000 Of these caves, and IN
them live about 800 people-"cham-
| pignonists, who rarely see the day
light. The descent into these caves is
by way of rope ladders.
| One of the most interesting sights
around Paris is the subterranean exca-
vations where this vegetable is raised.
Some of the caves are nothing more OF
less than tunnels, while others are ex-
hausted stone quarries, quite a number
of them extending under the streets OF
the city. These caves have to be spe'
cially prepared for their growth, ano
great care and attention are given t1
their keeping and perfect preservation

About ak weeks ago there was stab
hing ARRAY at the saloon ofAugust john
son in Hancock, the victim being Finn
living at the Quincy, who suffered knife
wound in that portion OF his anatomy
made TO be kicked. John Kalistaja, who
did the stabbing, eluded the authorities
and they have been anxiouslv looking
for him ever since.
Tuesday evening Tom Sullivan, who
had been watching the business portion
Of Hancock while Night Waterman Ed
Lee has been doing marshafs duty dur
ing the day. was called to the saloon Of
Peter Weisenen where Finn was making
himself obnoxious. Weisenen told Mr.
Sullivan that he thought the brawleI
was the man wanted for the stabbinV
noted above. Sullivan followed his mar
into the alley and, nothing daunted by
the possibility of the fellow using knife
in the dark, captured him aud LANDED
him in the lookup in the engine house
Here il was found that it was the maj
Kalistaja and, true to his reputation, h
had big jackbniie open in his pocket.
He is now in Jail and the victim OF tn
stabbing will make complaint agains
him. The authorities cay that Kalistsi
has hard name in the locality fror
which he came, the head OF the lake, an
that he served three years in the peniter
tiary at Saltwater, Mimi, for murder

CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION.
The Ancients Made and Ate 1t, but 1t
Was q Simple AFFAIR.

The ancients made cake, but it was |
not the rich, highly seasoned and Ma
yored CONNECTION which we indulge In |
nowadays. They had plain cakes made
with flour and water, some OF them
without suspicion OF sweet or flavor.
Some of them were not unlike our
plainest crackers and were often eaten
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institution
among them, as with us, but the cake
was plain one and was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to her
new home. This was special feature
of Roman marriages 2, 600 years ago.
The breaking of the cake was part OF
solemn ceremony. All OF the cakes OF
ancient history are plain and simple.
| 1t is only as we come down 10 more
modern times that we hear OF spices
and fruits and all of the rich and lux
urious ingredients in which present day
cakemakers delight. In Queen Eliza
beth's time spice cakes and buns were
eaten at weddings. From these the
fashion and fancy grew for all sorts OF
elaborate and deliciously unwholesome
combinations until there seems to be a
perpetual struggle for something new
and more unusual to stir into the cake
of the period.
Very many persons think cake is I'M
wholesome. Some sorts of cake may be,
but why simple cake with little
good fruit in it should be specially IN
furious is a puzzling question. Cake
made with fresh, sweet butter and fresh
eggs can scarcely be a tax on the dlges
tive powers, and no other shortening
save good butter should ever be put into
cake. -Philadelphia Press.

GRANT AND PORTER.
The Latter's First Meeting With His Sub
seut..nt Chief.

While sitting IN my quarters In the
little town Of Chattanooga about an
hour after nightfall on the evening OF
Friday, Oct %, 1868, an orderly
brought me message from General
George III. Thomas, commander OF the
Army of the Cumberland, on whose
staff | was serving, summoning me TO
headquarters. A storm had been raging
for two days, aud chilling rain was
still falling. A few minutes walk
brought me to the plain wooden, one
story dwelling occupied by the COM
mander, when was situated on Walnut
street, near Fourth. and upon my ar
rival / found him in the front room on
the left side of the hall, with three
members of his staff and several strange
officers
In an armchair facing the fireplace
was seated a general officer, slight III
figure and Of medium stature, whose
face bore an expression of WEAKNESS.
He was carelessly dressed, and his uni
form coat was unbottoned and thrown
back from his chest He held lighted
cigar in his mouth and sat in stoop-
ing posture, with his head bent slightly
| forward His clothes were wet, and his
trousers and topboots were spattered
with mud. General Thomas approached
this officer, and, turning to me and
mentioning me by name, said. Il want
to present you to General Grant. .
Thereupon the officer seated in the
chair, without changing his position,
glanced up, extended his arm to its full
length, shook hands and said in low
voice and speaking slowly, "How dc
you dor" This was my first meeting
with the man with whom was des
tined afterward to spend so many OF tint
most interesting years of my life.
The strange officers present wer
members of General Grants staff
Charles A. Dana, assistant secretary o
war, who had been for some time witt

entered the room. The next morning h
sent dispatch to the war department
