A few days ago Mr.. W. E. Parrish of
Greensboro, KY, found new So bill
ON the floor in his store, at the end OF
the wall paper counter. He put it into
his pocket and waited for the owner OF
it to come around on a search for 1t.
On q recent Monday morning lady, a
stranger to Mr.. Parrish and all the
clerks in the store, went into the store
and asked Mr.. Parrish if he had found
q SIS bill in his store at any time since
Friday. He told her that he had and
asked her to describe the bill, which she
did SO we'll that Mr.. Parrish was salts.
fed and gave it to her.
She said the reason she went to the
Parrish store to find her money was be-
cause she went to fortune teller, who
told her that she would find the money
at q store where she had purchased two
small articles, and as she had bought
only two there she knew it was the
place to get her money. The salesman
who waited on her remembered that she
purchased only two articles-a roll OF
wall paper and one other small article.
She was very much elated over her good
fortune in recovering her lost cash, and
she went away from the store with faith
in fortune tellers very much increased

How to Get Stout.

Not very many people want to get stout,
but those who do want to DO stout very
much Hero is what practical physician
says is the best plan to follow; Avoid ex-
element and keep your mind as much as
possible in state of repose and free from
worry. People of nervous temperament
should learn to control themselves. Learn
to sit quietly for a long period and don't
rush about, consuming muscular tissue by
unnecessary movements.
Eat all you can and as often as you can,
avoiding hot things, such as hot bread and
that which is made from the finer grades
of flour. Stale bread made OF flour con-
tanning q portion Of the chaff Is far more
nutritious than light, freshly baked bread
The diet should consist OF such articles OF
food as are largely composed OF starch and
sugar and oil. Meat in large quantities
should be avoided. All things should be
thoroughly cooked, In order that raw ma.
terial can undergo the chemical change
that otherwise would have to be done by
the stomach. Lastly. sleep as long as you
possibly can and as much. These rules
and suggestions will soon add all the flesh
to your frame that you want "-Cincin

Passing Of "Fort Thurber."

Fort Thurber, the sentry box which the
private secretary Of President Cleveland
erected in front OF the White House three
or four years ago to shelter the guard OF
policemen that was always on duty in
front of the executive mansion, Is now
standing In the corral of the local army

Knocked into kindling wood. President
Mckinley does not require the police pro-
lection that was thought necessary for
President Cleveland. For the last four
years, and until March 4. 30 patrolmen,
sergeant and two detectives were detailed
for regular duty at the White House. Dur
ing the Harrison administration there
were only six patrolmen. At present there
are ~, which allows four men 60 be on
duty constantly-one upon the street In
front Of the White House, second on tho
portico and two or more on the grounds
back of the mansion. These men are on
duty eight hours at stretch. While Gen.
sral Harrison was president there was one
patrolman on duty, ut the portico day and
night, and another patroled the grounds
In the rear. President Cleveland had eigb
men outside and two inside the Whit,
House at all times.-C Chicago Record.

Chri.tma. In the Year aooo.

optimistic view of Christmas In the Year

There Is something that appeals to the
sense of fitness In this idea of making the
celebration of the day simultaneous In ev

first note of the trumpets, whether 1t be
midnight, dawn or evening, II will be that
moment Christmas morning everywhere

THE ONE WEAK EYE.
A Simple Experiment by Which It May
lie Discovered.

n simple Experiment by Which IL May
lie Discovered.
Eyes, " said the doctor in moment OF
unprofcssional confidence 1.-THE makers OF
optical instruments are turning out some
wonderful appliances nowadays for dis
covering imperfections OF vision but I'll
tell you Of plan for testing the respective
strength of your eyes that is as simple as
1t is trustworthy. All you need is stereo-
scope and photograph. That arrange
ment in which the picture holder slides
up and down q fat frame trombone fash
ion, is the best sort of stereoscope for the
purpose. although any will do, and the
photograph that will give the best results
Is cabinet size view of some locality with
people in it. The modus operandi is sim
plicity itself.
Put the photograph In the holder and
focus 1t just enough SO that you can see
the faces clearly Then close the left eye
and look at the picture intently with your
right eye while you count 80 slowly. Now
close the right eye and look at the picture
with the left eye for the same space Of
time. Then open both eyes and look at
the picture without changing the focus
Something queer will happen. The fig
ures on the one side of the picture will
themselves with those on the other side,
and-this is the point of the experiment
the figures will always move away from
the weak eye Moreover, they will move
with very precise relation Of speed to
| the weakness of vision. II the left eye,
| for example, is quite weak, the figures will
move very quickly across the plane of
! sight to the right side, while IL there is
| but a slight defect the movement will be
| gradual, and SO on.
"A queer thing about this experiment
| Ia that, simple as it seems, it will bring
! out defects of vision that have never been
suspected, and another queer thing is that
| 1t will demonstrate the cases in which
| both eyes arc of equal power TO be sur
| prisingly exceptional l have tried it in
q score of mixed gatherings and never yet
without having the experimenter observe
some movement OF the figures. There
was one old lady, remember, up at Port
| jefferson. who persisted in saying that
she saw precisely with both eyes as She
did with one eye, and well she might for
| when examined her eyes closely found
| she was stone blind on the left side and
| didn't know ii. "-Ncw York Sun.

Miss M. w. Board, the first woman

rience.
my party will go overland to Taco

by sailing vessel to Orca. Never heard
of Orca? Most people have not. 1t is 20
miles west of the Copper river. l am
led to believe that that region is even
richer than the Klondike, and ! expect
to find other sources of wealth than
gold.
"That region is 90 degrees south of
the Klondike. The climate is good, be-
cause the coast is washed by a warm cur
rent from the Indian ocean. We shall
60 up the Copper river, not too far, but
until the engineer and my advisers de-
eide o site has been reached that will
prove perfect for town that in the fu-
ture will be of importance. l intend to
be near enough to Orca to facilitate

FOOTPRINTS IN A ROCK.
1r.ces Of Prehistoric Race Found ON IN
Indiana Farm.

Srsces OF . Prehistoric Race Found on m
Indiana Farm.
A ledge Of rock cropping out on q
small water course ON the farm of Hi
ram Staen, near Henryville, Ind, was
recently washed of by the rains, and
curious thing has been exposed. Upon
the rocks appear Is footprints exactly
as IL made by a man walking barefooted
in the mud.
There are most remarkable and con-
vincing traces that man existed before
the formation of at least some of the
underlying strata. The rock is solid and
the prints just as solid and plain as
though it was o cast of iron. There are
many interesting traces of aborigines in
the rocky water courses of southern In
diana. Over in Franklin county there is
a stream that when running very low
or very clear reveals the footprints of a
man in the rocky bottom. 1t was in
southern Indiana that the prints of dogs
and other animals were also found in
the flint strata. These strata were of
period prior to the glacial epoch. which
covered them with aliJvial deposits,
and in the northern section, where there
was no disturbance, completely covered
all of the traces of race prior to those
Of history.
The footprints which are found in
the rock of the Staen farm indicate that
the owner of the feet was monster.
He would require No. IL shoe to COW
er the understanding which left the i'm
preston in the mud which afterward
became rock. Some months ago while
making blast quarrymen near this
point opened solid rock which con-
tanned pocket, and in this pocket was
