Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made. and that too by lady in this
country. Disease fastened it's clutch
es upon her, and for seven years she
withstood its severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For
three months she coughed inces-
sanity, and could not sleep. She
finally discovered way to recovery,
by purchasing of US bottle of DIR.

q Weighing Cock.

Camden says the Thames was once
called the Cockney, and therefore a
cockney means simply one who lives
ON the banks of the Thames. Wedge
wood says a cockney, or cockerney, is
one pampered by city indulgence. in
contradistinction to rustics hardened by
outdoor work. There is, however, n
legend. almost too good to be true
namely. that a Londoner who had never
before slept out of sound of Bow Bells
had occasion to go into the country and
was detained all night.
He was much disturbed by the low
ing of the cattle, the grunting of the
pigs and other sounds of country life.
which he could not understand, and in
particular he was frightened by the
growing of the cock. In the morning,
in response to the farmers INQUIRIES,
he said the sound of the wild beasts had
kept him awake. Just at that moment
the cock ,crowed again, and the Lon
doner said: That's the onel He's been
neighing like that for hoursl" Since
then Londoners have been called cock
neighs, or cockneys.

KeepinE Up Appearances.

A licensed pawnbroker" who doea a

that often defeats men of his kind
Backing mp his statement with actual
names and dates, he said:

is that people in difficulties who still
want TO keep up appearances can bor-

lenders to take away the main part, or
inside, of the instrument. One man in
the west end in particular does con-

Drummond Was ON Ton.

Professor Henry Drummond had
boyish spirit when a man. and at the
age of % invented a game for some
friends at a country house one rainy
evening He said: '''They play it in
America with bowie knives Four men
are locked in dark room, each in a
corner, and the survivor wins. Well
do without the knives; the door and
the shutters shall be shut. each of us
will stand in a corner, and the first who
gets on another mans back will be the
winner"
DR.. Smith was in the game, and he
says it was the most exciting one he
ever played. Nobody stirred from his
corner for 90 minutes. Then heard
scuffie between two of the others. felt
my way to fling myself on both of
them. when Drummond bounced on me.

snw How II worked.

A scientific demonstration which
caused some amusement is described in
a recent number of The Criterion: "a
certain physician had large ToepIer
Holtz machine which gave a spark like
Young streak of lightning. His wife
was much interested in it and watched
the doctor manipulate it until she fam
cied herself master of the apparatus.
One day a party of friends called when
the doctor was out. and the good wife
seized the opportunity of paraiyzing
them with her knowledge of science.
"She was n very dignified woman of
portly presence, and after leading them
into the Office, she began her explana-
tioa with all the impressiveness of Il
lecturer. She spoke briefly of the pre-
Hminary manipulation of the machine.
And then, she said, laying her hand
upon one connection, the electricity
goes from here to here whereupon an
angry white spark leaped ont from the
brass ball indicated with a report like
a horse pistol and smote her upon the
extended finger. causing her to sit upon
the floor with a violence that shook the
window panes-

attitudes, looking at their fallen hostess
in pardonable surprise. Only for q mo-
ment did that capable woman leave
them in doubt. 'Therei' said she, in
the most matter of fact manner, as
though events had simply followed the
usual course. You see how it works.

with woody stems, widespreading
branches and bright green foliage. Its
fruits are produced in clusters and are
of a yellow color. The seed pods are
soft and woolly in texture and contain
two or three black seeds of the size of
a Brazilian bean. Their flavor is little
like opium, and their taste is sweet !;
the odor from them produces sicken-
ing sensation and is slightly offensive.
TIE seeds, when pulverized and taken
in small quantities, have a peculiar
effect upon man. He begins to laugh
