This Opportunity should Not be Lost.

The world is filled with suffering people who can't seem to get well or find out what their trouble is. Such people oftentimes cannot afford the time or expense of trip to the city, or the large fees charged by the best phy- sicians. It is for just these people that Dr. Greene of 35 West Fourteenth street, New York city, who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing diseases, makes the following offer: He invites you all to write him about your complaints, tell him how you feel, and he will answer your let ter free of charge, explaining the mean ing of every symptom, telling just what your trouble is and how to get cured. Write him Immediately. It will doubtless result in your cure.

Hunting an Idea.

He was terrible sight to behold.
He was balanced on one leg of his
chair in what seemingly was very
perilous position. With one foot cock
ed up on the highest corner of his
desk and the other one caught in the
rungs of another chair, he sustained
his equilibrium. His eyes were turn
ed towards the ceiling, and upon his
countenance was an expression of the
most unutterable misery. With the
fingers of one hand he worked convul-
sively at the buttonhole of his vest,
while with the other he seemed to be
trying to pull few handfuls of hair
from the top of his head. Who was
he and what was the matter with him?
You may well ask. Though we assure
there was nothing very extraordinary
about this sight. 1t was only the funny
man in the act of chasing down an

Oregon Gold,

AS an old miner up In Oregon, where
gold is being found galore, says: THE
same energy and money and time ex-
pended in this gold belt of southern
Oregon would undoubtedly produce
greater results than in the Klondike
and with no privations whatever. Sup
pose, for instance, that when the mil
lions we're taken from the two gulches
within gunshot of Jacksonville it had
been impossible to get away with the
gold until some certain season of the
year, and all that was transported in a
would have been the result? Why, a
genuine Klondike rush. And you will
not have to wait much longer to see a
great mining boom here in spite of
the fact that one can come here in a
palace car and instead of snow and ice
find the finest climate in the world.
Tie vast placer fields here are rich in
gold. and they have been scarcely
touched. From a single eminenee
here one may get birds'-ey view OF
100000 acres of placer ground which
will average thirty feet in depth and
25 cents per cubic yard from grass
roots to bedrock"
And this is not an isolated instance
of hitherto neglected gold regions COM
ing to the front. Great discoveries
like misfortunes, never come singly

How Fulton Boomed New YORK.

How could New York double it's
population in fifteen years, and beat
its great rival. Philadelphia, when
the latter was surrounded by a far
wider belt of rich farms and populous
towns?
1t was due primarily to the fact
that Robert Fulton brought here his
steamboat, and that New York men
knew how to take advantage of the
invention. Philadelphia also had the
steamboat, you will reply. Yes; but
she did not have the Hudson River.
The Hudson had from the first been
an advantage to New York, because it
afforded a highway for $50 miles in
land, and thus had greatly aided in the
early settlement of the interior of the
State and of western New England.
By the Improvement of the steamboat,
river travel at once became so cheap
and speedy that the country dealers
and the farmers themselves could go
straight down to New York to buy
goods or do their shopping at first
hand. This brought a great deal of
new business, both wholesale and re-
tail, to New York, some of which was

This account Of a mans escape from
death is written to benefit people who have
no appetite.
There are thousands dying Ike this man,
surrounded by plenty, because, although
they want to eat, they have no desire for
food.
Instances Of people who starve to death
are not at all uncommon.
Wh1n the stomach loses the craving for
food, and the power to digest II, the body

or indirectly, from this cause.

Ohio.
"Last spring." ne said, "my whole sys-

hsyc my intense suffering.

Strength of the Hair.

1t is interesting to others than Stats
ticians to know that the hairs of our
heads are numbered. Certain scientific
men have laboriously calculated the
number of hairs on square inch of
heads of different golors, and by esti-
mating the total area covered have ar
rived at aggregate numbers which they
be taken as fairly correct. To show
the well-intentioned accuracy of these
calculations head of fair hair consists
of 143,0 600 hairs Park hair is coarser
and only totals 10000; while those
who boast red must be content with a
total OF 29,200 1t is estimated that the
hairs on fair head" would support
the welsht of 500 people.

three or four square meals every day." and
his appearance gave evidence that this was
