A noteworthy instance of the fallibility Of
even the most skillful physicians is furnished
in the case of Mrs. J. E. Smith, Of Green's
burg, Ind.
For four years Mrs. Smith was afflicted
with q nervous affection that finally left her
almost completely helpless and which the
physician who first attended her said posi-
lively could not be cured. Subsequently. q
number of physicians in this and other cities,
declared her case to be hopeless.
To-day in spite of the verdict Of the doc
tors, and without their aid, Mrs. Smith is
perfectly well. To Ne,c Era reporter she
told the story of her extraordinary recovery.
"Fire years ago had q severe attack of
Ia grippe, followed later by another. Dur

Spiders and Their WaYA

We find as marked differences in hab- its, tastes and characters among spiders as among human beings Some kinds prefer always living in houses or eel lars, not seeming to care for any fresh air or out of door exercise. MT. Jesse tells of two spiders that lived for 13 years in opposite corners of a drawer which was used for soap and candles Others delight in making burrows in the earth, in dwelling under stones or behind the loose bark on trees, and oth- CTS live under water. Many never leave their webs, but patiently wait, hoping some insect will become entangled in the snares they have set. Others dash about and seize upon every luckless in sect that crosses their path. The most adventurous of all are those that sail out into the world on one of their own little threads.
 In the bright autumn weather, if we observe closely, we may sometimes see some of our own small spiders ascend to the tops of trees, fences and other high objects, rise on their toes, turn the spinners upward, throw out a quantity of silk and sail away. They grasp the silken thread with their feet and seem to be enjoying themselves as much as the birds and butterflies. Margaret W. Leighton in Popular Science Monthly.

The Austrian National Hymn.

The Austrian national anthem is one of the most beautiful of Haydn's melo- dies and of national hymns. The words of the 'Emperor's Hymn" were written by the Jesuit priest l.. L. Haschka, and were set to music by Haydn. On Jan. 2s, 1797, Count von Saurau, governor of Vienna, issued Q decree that "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" should be the Austrian national hymn, and on Feb. 12 it was by order sung in all the theaters of Vienna. In England it is fa- miliar as the hymn tune Austria. !" It is often sung to Newton s lines, "Glori- ous things of thee are spoken" and sometimes also to Kempthorne's Praise the Lord, ye heavens, adore him."
 Haydn's affection for this beautiful melody is well known. He afterward employed it for the variations ill the "Kaisorquartett op. 76, No. 8, and when he was near death and too weak to stand he was carried across the room to the clavier and solemnly played the tune three times, according to Herr Pohl, as his farewell to art. William Gardiner, tho Leiccstershire stocking maker and musical amateur, sent Haydn six pairs of stockings woven with the air of "Gott erhalte" and other melo- dies. London News.

The Old Virginia Fiddler,

What has become of the old Virginia fiddler who was known and greeted by all the young people for miles areundP
 Of old there could be no Christmas in the country without him. He was as in- dispensable as the children's stockings, the eggnog bowl, the roasted shoat, the mince pie or the stuffed turkey. He was the important functionary at every dance and called out the figures in an unchangeable voice, which grew fercer and fiercer as he warmed up to his work. Has our old friend disappearedP Is his fiddle cracked and his bow unstrungi Has he been unable to withstand the in- vasion of his territory by the piano and the piano agent? We fear 30. We hear of him very seldom now, whereas in the times bygone at Christmas his name was on every tongue, and his bow was @ scepter yielded over many willing subjects. Happily for him that he found suitable eulogists before his type was extinct. Dr. George w. Bagby. that great hu1norist and player upon the heart strings of men, in numerous sketches, and the founder of this paper. in his delightful, realistic "reminiscences, have both described and immortalized the old Virginia fiddler. And well they did, for he is becoming as rare as the buffalo upon the western prairies. But we'll he served his day and generation before he laid down "de fiddle and de bow. ."-Richmond Dispatch.

RennfY Ia Wealth.

Beauty is as essential to @ woman as any other quality with beauty of form and feature comes beauty of mind and character. Physical beauty is a rounded form, the brightly tinted cheek, the viva cious eye, a certain ease and grace of manner, which indicates a superabun- dance of physical strength. Very few wo- men possess these qualities, but very many more might possess them who do not. If you feel that you are losing vitality, los ing your beauty, losing your strength, If you feel that your face, which once was plump and rosy, is becoming thin and sal low, that wrinkles (which are the terror to all pretty women) are beginning to ap- pear, take our advice and try that great est of discoveries, the Massage Face Cup" which is the only means known to science to convert thin and sallow ex- pression into a plump and rosy face. It will transform face with plain or homely features into an expression of grace and beauty. Physiology teaches us that if we would be strong we must exercise the muscles that need the developing. Exer- else causes the blood to rush to that part of the body called into action, the muscle Is fed and strengthened by the fresh blood and will therefore develop.
 | The Massage Cup will do for the face 1 if properly applied, by contracting and relaxing the muscles, what exercise will do for the other parts of the body.
 If you would have a pinkish complex ion, If you would like a face plump and rosy, If you would like to remove that "hoIrid wrinkle" send One Dollar to us and we will mail you the great Massage Face Cup, with full directions for use. |Remember, you can have your money back If you say so.

Landor and Wordsworth.

Walter Savage Landor was an intem- pcrate person in words and hated Words worth. Were there ever more contempt uous words than these of Landor's in reference to Wordsworth? "Pastiness and fatness are the qualities of a pam cake, and thus far he attained his end. Let him place the accessories on tho table, lest what is insipid and clam my ~%% grow into duller accretion and moistcr viscidity the more l masticate it." In Landor's letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson he writes: "We must now de- scend to Wordsworth. He often gave an opinion on authors which he never had read, Plato for instance. He speaks con- temptuously of the Scotch. l praised lino of Scott's on the dog of a traveller lost in the snow eff 1 remem- ber) on Skiddaw. He said it was the only good one ill the poem and began instantly to recite whole poem of his owu on tho same subject"

Changed the Bodies,

Here is a really true story: Lately an English family had the misfortune to lose an aged aunt, who died in St. Pe- tersburg. Arrangements were most care fully made and directions sent that the body should be forwarded to England to be inferred in the family vault. In due time magnificent coffin arrived, and before it was lowered to its last resting place it was opened for inspection. Much to the dismay of the family, in- stead of finding the features and frail form of their beloved aunt, the corpse of 8 Russian officer, clothed in military garments and decorated with ribbons and medals. was disclosed to view. A frantic telegram was dispatched to the Russian capital, to which the following answer was received: "Lady buried yesterday with military honors Please keep the general" =.

sl,nkespeare and Dogs,

Shakespeare loved dogs and has paid
 them many a tribute. See, for instance,
 the graphic description of hounds i'll the dialogue between Theseus and Hippoly-
 ta in "A Midsummer Nights Dream" Civ. 1; 109-132), and the talk of the
 hunters about the dogs in The Tanning
 of the Shrew" (ind. l, 16-29), which are both too long for quotation here. In
 "The Merry Wives of Windsor" (i. 1,
 96-1 -1O4) Page defends his "fallow grey hound' against the criticisms of Slen- der and Shallow takes his part. Launce's s
 praise of his dog Crab, though it was a worthless cur, in "The Two Gentlemen of Verona,'' is also in point, to say nothing of minor references to dogs in
 the plays and poems. The passage in
 Macbeth" (iii. 1, 92-101) says i'll sub
 stance that there are dogs and dogs, as there are men and men. The First Mur-
 derer has said, I've are men, my hege, " and Macbeth replies:
 Aye, in the catalogue ye go for men,
 As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, CUTS,
 Shoughs, water rugs, and demfwolves are cleped

 That is, in general list of dogs we include all kinds, good, bad and indif- ferent, but "the valued file'-a list
 which classes them with reference to
 their value-distinguishes them accord ing to their natural gifts or qualities,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by conStitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inf1amed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the suit and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to It's normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrn, which is nothing but an 1nfiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

MT. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the Burton House, Burton, w. V., and one of the most widely known men in the state was cured of rheumatism after three years of suffering. He says: "I have not sufficient command of language to convey any idea of what suffered, my physicians told me that nothing could be done for me and my friends were fully convinced that nothing but death would relieve me of my suffering. In June, 1894, MT. Evens, then salesman for the Wheeling Drug Co.,, recommended me Chamber lain's Pain Balm. At this time my foot and limb were swollen to more than double their normal size and it seemed to me my leg would burst, but soon after l began using the Pain Balm the swelling began to decrease, the pain to leave, and now 1 consider that 1 am entirely cured.
