A Wonderful Task.

John Curzon, Polish mechanic, who
was presented with a gold medal for
his inventions, performed a most extra
ordinary thing when he succeeded in
manufacturing complete watch in
the space Of eight hours, and from ma
terials ON which another matchmaker
would have looked with contempt
1t appears that the Car Of Russia
hearing of the marvellous inventive
genius of Curzon, determined to put
him to the test, and forwarded him a
box containing a few copper nails,
some wood clippings, and piece OF
broken glass, an old cracked china cup,
some wire and a few cribbage board
pegs, with a request that he should
transform them into a hmepiece.
Nothing daunted, and percelving q
golden opportunity Of winning favor
at the court, CurZon set about his task
with enthusiasm, and in the almost
Incredibly short space of eight hours,
had dispatched wonderfully con-
stTucted watch to the Car, who was SO
surprised and delighted at the work
that he sent for the maker. conferred
Tpon him several distinctions and
granted him a pension.
The case of the watch was made
of china, while the works were simply
composed of the odds and ends accom-.
panying the old cup. Not only did II
keep good time, but only required wind.
iag once every three or four days. This
remarkable watch is believed to be still
in the possession of the Russian royal
family.

Tropioal 1ntOxlcants.

Genuine palm wine Is made from the
Palmyra palm, and is far superior to

Captain Burton, Of Burton & Speke,
says that the juice Of the oil palm
makes q drink that Is unapproached
by the liquids Of civilization. 1t is Of
delicious color and flavor. and Its ef-
fects are exhilaration unmixed with
the dread Of a headache next day. Liv-
ingstone makes mention Of an intoxi-
cant, brewed BY the Majenga tribe of
the Zambesi. It is made from the
grain Of the country, sun-dried and gen.

which leaves no III effect. Indeed, 1t
is an antifebrile Of remarkable power,
and 1t was when stricken with Jungle

Quainted with 1t. Despite his protests,
the kindly natives poured It down him
until he saw visions and dreamed

An Overworked Brain.

From the Record, Pierceton, Ind.
Determined to rise In his chosen pro.
fession as an educator, Ernest Kemper, OF
Pierceton, Ind, overtaxed himself men,
tally and physically. He was ambitious,
his mind was always on his work. From
early morn until late at night he contin-
ually pored over his books.
Few persons, even with the strongest
constitutions, can keep up under such a
strain.
In addition to his studies, Mr.. Kemper
was teaching a school some three miles
from his home. Finally, his excessive study
and the exposure of going to and from
school in all kinds OF weather undermined
his health.
He was taken to his bed with pneumonia
and his overworke ed brain almost collapsed.
For several weeks he was seriously Ill.
Catarrh had taken root In his system and
his mind was In a delicate condition. He

prove. When he had taken nine boxes he
was completely cured. This famous blood
and nerve medicine had accompl plished what
all his former expensive treatment failed
to accomplish. Mr.. Kemper says his ca
tarrh has entirely left him; he Is strong
again and weighs nine pounds more than
he ever did. He gives the pills the entire
credit. He is starting teaching again and
feels abundantly able to continue the
work. To prove that the above is true in
every respect, Mr. Kemper made an af1i-
