We want this to reach the eyes of every reader
of this paper. MIR. II. l.. Trundle, Dixie, Ark,
is eighty-two years of age, as hale and hearty
man of his age ns can be found in the State of
Arkansas; In fact, he looks as young as q man
of sixty years. For more than fifteen years
Mr.. Trundle was slave to prostate disease.
You men who are afflicted know what It means
the days of unrest the nights of torture and
uneasiness, the pain, the frequent calls to pass
water and the inability to do so. He could
scarcely get about the house, feeble trembling
and rackeh with pain from head 90 foot.
In this condition he read the startling an
nouncement In his paper that n marvellous new
method for curing PROSTATE disease had been
discovered. He wrote TO the address given for
full particulars, and at once obtained the
remedy; in less than ten days more he had the
satisfaction of experiencing relief. His case
was chronic, deep-seated, AMI the chances of
recovery on account of his age were against
him. Yet sixty days of continuous use of the
famous SOlvent-Alterans method cured him.
You men who are afflicted can have the same
experience IL you do what Mr.. Trunde did he

FORESTS OF STONE.
They exist In Various Parts of the
World.

Ole forests are apt TO get into the
most impossible places and to turn into
the most preposterous shapes All our
cOalfields are ancient forests far under

hard mineral substance The are for
ests of plants which once grew as
mighty trees, for outside of fairyland
who would ever imagine a majestic
woodland of club moss and reeds and
the little sand weed called the horsetaill
In Greenland, right under the ice
fields, a buried forest has been found in
which the plants were all palms and
tropical creepers. proving that once the
arctic regions were as hot as the Indies
In the Wash, between the counties
of Lincoln and Norfolk, there is an old
forest under the sea, with stumps of
fallen oaks and elms still visible in
places when the tide is low. This was
all dry land in the days of the ancient
Britons
Out in the desert of Arizona there is
a dead forest on the surface of burning
rock and drifting sand, where ne plant
save the cactus can now find any wa
ter. When the place was first discover
ed, a negro cook thought it would be an
eAcellenI place 1or camping, 50 ne took
an ak and delivered a mighty blow
upon the fallen trunk of a big red pine.
His ak was ruined, the haft smashed
and his fingers so badly hurt that he
sat down and howled, for that tree
was changed to massive rock, which
looked as fresh as though felled but
yesterday. The whole PROSTATE forest
of big timber had been changed into
valuable and beautiful onyx. jasper
and agate. Chicago Tribune.

Treating LOckjayy.

Recently young man in New Jer-
sey was treated successfully for tetanus
by the injection of serum into the
brain. That is not the method of treat
ing lockjaw out in Missouri. Several
years ago citizen of Liberty, No, was
suffering from tetanus. Local physi-
clans failed to relieve him, and DIR.
Wood of Kansas City, gruff old gen
tleman, was called. Arriving at the
home of the patient he found the room
full of sympathizing neighbors The
physician proceeded toward the sick
man and remarked, "Why in --
don't you shut your mouth at the
same time giving him IL severe ''chuck'
under the chin. The effect of the blow
caused the mouth to close, and the
man soon recovered Chicago Post.

Egyptfnn Dancing In Egypt.

The genuine native dancing girls per
form in the little cafes that abound in
the Arabian quarter. These places are
usually small and about 80 men squat
ted around the seats that line the walls
make full house.
Here the Arabs come to smoke and
drink coffee and hear the music, while
in the center of the cafe the dancing
girls perform. The places are filed with
the smoke of the nargile and ciga-
rettes, and the dreamy natives who
lounge along the walls puff everlasting
ly ON, barely noticing the girls who are
weaving and swaying in the sinuous
undulations of the dance to the time of
a groggy tomtom and the mellow drone
of reed whistle. The dance is about
the same as the one seen at the World 8
fair in Chicago, Invested of most of its
offensive trimmings. There it was de-
signed to startle and shock and come up
to western notions of oriental depravity.
while here on its native heath it is sim
ply dance that is as old as the coun-
try itself, and to those who have been
accustomed to it through generations of
familiarity it is probably as tame as the
quadrille. 1t is only the dance prepared
for the tourist that disgusts you and
makes you think that the orient should
be raided.-Chicago Record.

Eggs and Germs.

1t was formerly thought that an egg
must be safe eating whatever the sur
roundings, since its shell covered COM
pletely the part eaten, but it has now
been shown Enthusiastically that germs of
disease can even find their way through
an eggshell For instance. the typhus
bacillus and the cholera bacillus have
both been found to make their way
through an unbroken eggshell in about
1G hours and locate themselves in the
nutrient contents.
This is clear indication, therefore,
that the greatest care should be exer-
cised in the storage and handling of
eggs, since they may thus be made We
hicles for most deadly poisons- Doubt
less the immunity from such evils which
we enjoy in our use of eggs as food Is
due to the fact that we generally cook
them in high temperature before we
eat them and thus deal death to the
germs and safety to ourselves. Good
Words.

FEELING BIG TREES.
The Methods by which the Woods
man Brings Them Down.

The chopper approaches the tree with
plumb line. If the top does not lean
| more than two feet in the case of a
large tree or more than four in the
case of a small one, he considers that
he can fell it in any direction he may
desire. He then views the ground and
selects the most promising ''lay out, .
and the undercut is made exactly fac
ing it. The ''undercut" usually extends
about one-third through, and then the
tree is sawed in from the back to meet it.
When the two cuts are within six
inches of meeting, the saw is removed,
and the tree is wedged up until the top
passes the center of gravity, when it
falls by its own weight, easily breaking
the strip of wood remaining.
Where the surface of the ground Is
such that it is necessary for the butt
and the top to strike the ground stimuli
taneously, the stump is snubbed off at
the undercut, which provides slant
ing surface, so that the butt has no
place to rest and perforce slides to the
ground.
If the tree needs to be rolled off to
one side half the undercut is slanted,
and a pile of chips is placed ON the fiat
surface of the other half The result
never fails to manifest the efficacy OF
this device. Again, by leaving one side
of the uncut wood between the under
cut and the saw cut thicker than the
other, the tree may be drawn consider
ably away from its natural course.
