Got Laudanum Instead of Rhubarb.

Miss Lottie Grove of South Royalton is
recovering from the effects of dose of laud-
anum which she took by mistake. She sent
her brother to the store of H. w. Hubbard to
get a small bottle filed with tincture of rhu-
barb and because of supposed blunder on
the part of the clerk in putting up the order
she unwittingly took the drug but at once
recognized the taste of laudanum and doc
tor was promptly summoned so that it is now
believed to be certain that she will recover
from the effects of the dose.

Pleasant Pellets come to their assistance
by aiding nature in taking care of the food.
The cause of nine-tenths of the sickness
of the world is constipation From this one
cause come indigestion; disorders of the
stomach, liver and kidneys; biliousness,
headaches, fatulence, heartburn, impurity

that follow. To begin with, constipation is
little thing, and little thing will cure it.

The Shakers have made great hit. Their
Digestive Cordial is said to be the most sue
cessful remedy for stomach troubles ever
introduced. 1t Immediately relieves all pain
and distress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are
better than so-called tonics. The Cordial not
only contains food already digested, but is a
digester of other foods. Food that is not
digested does more harm than good. People
who use the Cordial insure the digestion of
what food they eat and in this way get the
benefit of it and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the Shakers
have sent druggists for free distribution, con-
tain much interesting information on the
subject of dyspepsia.

SHARK HOOKS.
Fitted with n Length of Stout Chain
That the Shark Can't Bite Through.

Thatthe Shark Can't Bite Through.
Shark hooks are made in various
sizes, ranging in length from five inches
to IA inches, and in width from rs
inches to 3H inches. They are pro-
vided with a chain and swivel, the
chain of the various sized hooks rang
ing from 10R inches to % inches i'm
length. Shark hooks with chains sell
from so cents to two dollars, says the
New York Sun.
Shark skin and shark oil are utilized
for some purposes, and in Mediter-
ranean countries young sharks are
eaten; but the catching of sharks for
profit is mostly confined to Europe.
Here they are taken mainly for sport.
Every coasting vessel is likely to carry
a shark fishing outfit, and every fisher
often carried on yachts. Fishermen
may catch sharks to get them out of
The way so that they will no longer pur-
sue and disturb the fish. On a coast
or if they run across sharks the men
are likely to fish for them just for fun;
and shark fishing from the yacht would
also be a diversion. 1t may be that

will try his skill on the shark with {.

aboard.

COMMON MISTAKE.

1t is an error, and one fondlv nursed
and zeaIonsly encouraged by the fossils
in the profession, that the Advertising
Physician is invariably a quack, and the
non advertising is always a Cignlfied, in
telligent, and successful practitioner. In
deed nothing could be further from the
truth The reader who allows himself to
be hood wiDhed by those, who from sci
fish motives propagate such erroneous
ideas, may be shut ont from obtaining
that high degree of which the conditions
of their case demand.
Some of the worst pretenders, the most
arrant quacks never advertise, or at least
never pay for advertising, preferring TO
work secret orders their friends, or even
the church for puffs, thereby living safe
ly within the Code of Medical Ethics. On
the other hand some of the most iltalil
gent and reputable physicians choose to
use the Daily press, Just as reputable
business houses who have something of
honest value to offer to the public.

SEEING AND BELIEVING.
Some of the Tricks the Eyes Play OF
the Understanding.

1t is an old and wise. saying that sec,
ing is believing yet everybody knows
that very often what you see, and there
fore believe, proves to be not really true
at all. As we grow older, says writer
in ST. Nicholas, finding that our eyes
have so frequently deceived us, we are
often not satisfied until we have verified
it by touch or smell or hearing or taste
or by looking at some doubtful thing
from different points of view, or under
a different lighting.
We are not willing to believe that a
conjurer actually draws rabbits from
a mans ear or coin from the tip of his
rose just because our eyes tell us such
tales. Sometimes our receptions are
so lasting that things must be made
wrong in order to look right, which
seems rather contradictory. Ii we iooi

fully as we can the upper and lower
halves seem to be almost exactly the
same size. If we turn them upside down.
the difference in the size of the loops is
quite astonishing, and we wonder how
we could have been so mistaken; vet
perhaps the truth is that the loops are
neither so different nor so much alike
as they seem to be. as we see when we
look at them turned upon their sides.

LIVING MUMMY IN PARIS.
French Physicians Examine an f,
trunrdioarx Creafure


French Physicians Examine an Ex
traordinary Creature.
The Academy Of Medicine in Paris is
just now studying one of the most ex-
traordinary human beings who have
ever been born into this world, says the
New York Herald. He is known as
the man mummy, and one glance at his
CHASTITY face and body shows that he de
serves the title.
This phenomenal being is named Cas-
tagna, and, according TO the civil regis
ter of Paris, he is now % years old
He is about four feet high and he
weighs only 43 pounds. Even with his
clothes on he is a IL ost singular looking
object-a veritable lu.s;!s naturae. His
forehead is large, and over it is
stretched thick covering of parch-
ment-like skin. His eyes, the muscles
of which are atrophied, are quite round
and are wide open, like the eyes of
night birds. His nose, too, reminds one
of such birds, for not only is it entire
" without flesh, but it is also curved
in the form of a beak, dropping in this
fashion over a mouth in which the teeth
can always be seen, set together as
though in a grimaee. Altogether the
head and face are so uncanny and so
horrible that it is impossible to set
Gown anything like vivid description
of them on paper
His arms and legs are inconceivably
thin and slender. Bones and nerves
are pressing close against each other.
and the tight skin holds them together
as though it were a sheath of India
rubber. The whole body, is. indeed, a
miracle of frailness and meagerness,
and the wonder is that good puff of
wind does not blow it away.
