HIS GREAT REMEDY
I He Suffered From Rheumatism
Until Hudyan Cured Him.

Helena, Mont.
Dear Sirs: Your Hudyan not only re-
lieved me Of my suffering, but it cured me
entirely. For a long time I was victim
of chronic Rheumatism, and l tried SO
many different so-called cures in that
time that was about ready to despair of
ever finding cure. I read SO much about
your medicine that I concluded to give 1t
a trial, with the happy result that l am
now entirely rid of my complaint. Your
medicine acted like charm and ! am so
thankful that I gave it a trial. I suffer
no pains at all now, and have no evidence
whatever that I was ever afflicted. I just
wish to say to all sufferers from Rheu-
matism that Hudyan is the best medicine
on this earth. / would not make this as
serton if old not know to positive GER
tainty that it is true. I shall always be
a friend to you, for l feel that I owe my
present happiness to your medicine. l
feel like new man in every way. Yours
gratefully, RAY WESTRA.

WHY DO We Ya,xn9

There can be little doubt that one OF
the objects of yawning is the exercise Of
muscles which have been for long
time quiescent, and the acceleration Of
the blood and lymph flow which has in
consequence of this quiescence become
sluggish hence its frequency after one
has remained for some time in the same
position-for example, when waking in
the morning.
Cooperating with this cause is sleepi-
ness and the shallow breathing which il
entails. This factor, as we'll as muscle
quiescence, is apt to attend the sense OF
boredom which one experiences in listen
ing to dull sermon; hence it is that
the bored individual is apt to yawn. Az
in the case of signing, the deep breath
which accompanies the act of yawnine
compensates for the shallow breathing
which is so apt to excite it.-New York
Herald.

Theatrical "PrOps.'

Props comprise all the portable arti-
Giles required in a play. Guns and pis-
tols-which too often fail to 60 off at
the critical moment-are props; loaves
of bread, fowls, fruit, all made of a
rough papier mache, are also props We
may also include those wondrous gilt
goblets, only seen on the stage, which
make such a nonmetallic thud when
they fall and bounce upon the boards,
as among the achievements of the prop
erty man.
But it is at pantomime time that that
individual is at his busiest. Big masks
and make believe sausages and vegeta-
bles without which no pantomime
would be complete, are mingled with
fairy wands, garlands of artificial flow
ers, basket work frames for the accom-
mediation of giants and other articles
too numerous to mention.
How the right things are forthcom-
ing at the right moment is one of those
mysteries only known to property men.
Had one of these useful members of the
theatrical world the ability and inclina-
ton to write book what an entertain
ing volume could he turn out l-Cham'

General Chahee's Way of Giving a
Recruit Confidence.
A youth of IS who was in the trench
es at Ell Caney carrying gun was so
badly frightened under fire that he
went fiat on his face and was roundly
kicked by his companions. General
Chaffee came along and called to him,
"Well, you re fine soldierP' Then he
looked at the boyish face of the kid,
and his face softened. 81 suppose you
can't help it," he said. cit amt so
much your fault I'd like to get hold
of the fellow that took you into the ar
N.Y." By and by he put his hand on
the boys shoulder "There isn't SO
much danger as you think for, said
the general. Now, you get up and
take your gun and fight, and I'll stand
here by you.
The boy got up, shaking like leaf
and fred his first shot pretty near
straight into the air.
''Tbat's pretty high" said the gen
eral keep cool and try it again"
In three minutes that kid was fight
ing ike veteran ana COOL as cucum :
Der, and when he saw it the general
started on.
you're all right now, my boy" he
said. "You'l make good soldier. -
"God bless you, sir, said the young
ster. "You saved me from worse than
DEATH" And he was pretty close to cry
ing when he said it.
After a while the order came to re-
tire from the trench, and soldiers had
to collar that kid and haul him away
by the neck to get him to retreat with
his company. And at that he'd got a
bullet through the fleshy part Of his
shoulder an hour before. In the rest of
the fights there wasn't better soldier
in the company. Chicago Journal.

Private O'Mars' Tart RetOrt to His

Here is story told of Patrick O'Mars,
private in the Ninth regulars: Not
long ago he went to the colonel, who
was a severe disciplinarian, for two
weeks leave of absence.
WELL" said the colonel, "what do
you want two weeks furlough for2''
Patrick answered. ''Me wolfe is very
sick, and the children are not we'll, and
if ye didn't mind she would like to
have me home for few weeks to give
her bit of assistance. -
The colonel eyed him for few min
utes and said: Patrick, might grant
your request, but 1 got letter from
your wife this morning saying that she
didn't want you home; that you were
a nuisance and raised the devil when
ever you were there. She hopes won't
let you have any more furloughs -
''That settles it. l suppose can't
get the furlough them" said Pat
'tNo, I'm afraid not, Patrick It
wouldn't be we'll for me to do so under
the circumstances. -
1t was Patrick's turn now to eye the
colonel as he started for the door. Stop
ping suddenly, he said;
Colonel, can | say something to
yez?''
Certainly, Patrick What is it?"
"You won't get mad, colonel, if l
say it?''
Certainly not Patrick What is it?"

liars in this room, and I'm one of them

what Is n sienatureg

When Constable was requested to put
his signature to one of his pictures, he
answered, why, my dear sir. it is
signed all over. !" Let the preacher pre-
serve his personality, and his sermon
also will BIZ "signed all over" A num-
Der of Thackeray's pen and ink sketches
were sold not long since in London,
and, although they bore no monogram
or signature, no one disputed their gen.
uiDeness. A true preacher also cannot
be hid
That which John had seen and with
his own hands handled of the word of
life could never be to any other person
just what it was to him. A preacher
who puts himself into his sermon is as
readily detected in his sermon as any
where else. Even his apprehension of
truth, his way of looking at it, his fash
ion of delivering it, is all his own. Let
US repeat it. His sermon will be "signed
all over. "-Homiletic Review.

MY LADY NICOTINE.
The Alleged Effects of Tobacco ant
Its Enormous Consumption.

The Alleged Effects of Tobacco and
Its Enormous Consumption.
Probably no pleasure of life has had
its praises SO much sung as smoking.
Here is the other side. Doctors say
tobacco used in excess produces:
Palpitation of the heart, muscular
tremblings, weakness and paralysis Of
the legs, dizziness Of the head, noises
in the ears, cold perspiration all over
the body, colicky pains in the stomach,
inability to exert the mind, congested
and sore throat, burning of the tongue,
dry and parched mouth, tartar and
blackness of the teeth, confusion of
sight, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
of the throat and nose, sallow complex
ion, very bad dyspepsia, lopsided
mouth, nervous anxiety, cancer of the
lips, diminished appetite. pale and
anemic gums, loss of memory, omis-
sion of every fifth pulse beat, ruin of
the will power, irritability of temper,
extreme and incurable melancholy, rest
lessness and sleeplessness, blindness and
deafness, apoplexy and paralysis, con-
vulsions and death.
In the case of children it stunts their
growth, when a person is consumptive
it hastens his death, when the heart is
weak it almost completely stops the
beating, when you have cough tobac-
co keeps it going for weeks, and it in
terferes with singing and swallowing.
Yet about 1000, 100000 pounds Of
it are smoked every year. New York

THE SIX HUNDRED.
Some Incidents of That Mad Ride to
Death at BaIaklava-

Some Incidents OF That MAD RIDE TO
Death at BaIaklavR-
OF that mad but heroic charge hun
bred incidents are preserved-thrilling
humorous, shocking. The Cornhill
Magazine tells of man of the Seven
teenth lancers who was heard to shout,
just as they raced in upon the guns, a
quotation from Shakespeare, "Who is
there here would ask more men from
Englandr"
The regimental butcher of the Seven
tenth lancers was engaged in killing q
sheep when he heard the trumpets sound
for the charge. He leaped on horse.
In shirt sleeves, with bare arms and
pipe in mouth, he rode through the whole
charge, slew, it is said, six men with
his own hand, and came back again,
pipe still in mouth
A private of the Eleventh was under
arrest for drunkenness when the charge
began, but he broke out, followed his
troop on a spare horse, picked up a
sword as he rode, and shared in the
rapture and perils of the charge. The
charge lasted 20 minutes, and was ever
before such daring or such suffering
packed into space SO brief? The squad
rons rode into the fight numbering 673
horsemen; their mounted strength when
the fight was over was exactly 1876.
1t was all blunder, but it evoked a
heroism which made the blunder itself
magnificent. And as long as brave deeds
can thrill the imagination Of men the
story will be remember of how
Stormed at with shot and shell.
Boldly they rode and well

Farming In olden Times.

The Romans were the first people to
practice blowing between the rows Of
wheat as we do between corn. The idea
was suggested in singular manner. A
warlike tribe, having ravished section
of land at the base of the Alps, under
took to destroy the growing crops by
blowing them up, but instead it was
found that the rows accidentally hilled
were twice as large as those that were
not. The harrow or hoe used by the
Chinese farmer is of the rudest con-
struction. The pillow is usually drawn
by women of the lowest classes
Two hundred and fifty years ago,
when the corn stolen from the Indians
by our Puritan ancestors was planted in
the sand OF Cape Cod, the only instru-
ment used was a ponderous and ill
shaped Dutch hoe, which required a
heavy man to handle at all, Our first
processes were not much in advance Of
those Of the barbarians Of central Eu-
rope. Today we number several hun
dred tools, from the most delicate to
the splendid specimen of the combined
reaper and thrasher, which cuts,
thrashes, winnows and bags grain at
the rate of hundreds of bushels per day.

One Of the results of the Zionist con
gress at Basel is the temperance of the
Hebrew flag. At the meeting place of
the delegates a flag was hoisted which
bad two blue stripes on a white field,
and between these the six pointed star,
or sign of David. 1t was explained at
that time that similar flag was used
as the standard of the Hebrews in the
days of the Hebrew nation. Pictures
and descriptions of the flag came to the
United States with accounts of the pro-
ceedings of the congress, and jewellers
in the New York Ghetto began to look
for Hebrew flags. The consequence was
that the American Flag company turn
ed out quantity, for which there was
ready sale. New York Tribune.

How HIS Phase OF Lunacy Was De-

"That calls to mind queer expert
ence of my own" said a lawyer who
had listened to story. "Some years
ago 1 defended fellow for murder in
little southern town, and the worst wit

A stack, by the way. is merely another

''The old fellow was perfectly honest

whispered to me to ask him how high
he could build a stack. What do you
