The opelet, one of the most ex-
quisite wonders of the sea, is deadly
to fishes. 1t is about as large as a
German aster, looking, indeed, very
much like one. Imagine a very large
double aster, with ever so many petals
of light green, glossy as satin, and
each one tipped with rose-color. These
lovely petals do not lie quietly in their
place, like those of the aster in your
garden, but wave about in the water,
while the opelet generally clings to a
rock. How lovely and innocent it looks
on its rocky bed! Who would suspect
that it would eat anything grosser than
dew or sunlight? But those beautiful
waving arms, as you call them, have
other uses besides looking pretty. They
have to provide food for a large mouth,
which is hidden deep down among
them-so well hidden that one can
scarcely find it. Well do they perform
their duty, for the instant a foolish
little fish touches n of the rosy tips
he is struck with poison as fatal to
him as lightning. He Immediately be-
comes numbed, and in a moment stops
struggling; and then the other beau
tiful arms wrap themselves about him.
and he is drawn into the huge greedy
mouth, and is seen no more. Then the
lovely arms unclose and wave again
in the water, looking as innocent and
harmless as though they had never
touched a fish.

Mr.. Editor:-For the good OF suffer
ing humanity, and particularly those
suffering from that most dreadful dis
ease, rheumatism, we desire to inform
your readers that the only specific in
the world today for this disease is our
Five Drops" remedy. Five Drops"
is the name, and Five Drops" is the
dose. 1t is not only acknowledged q
specific by the many thousands who
nave been cured by it's use, but it is
now acknowledged to be such by the
medical profession, many Of whom use
this remedy in their daily practice, and
they state to us that it is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but it
never has failed and it never can fail
to cure any and all of the following
diseases: Sciatica, Lumbago, Neural
gia, Catarrh, Creeping Numbness.
Nervousness, Asthma, Heart Weak
ness, ~Toothache, Earache, La Grippe,
and diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Five Drops" is not a patent medicine,
but was perfected only after vast re-
search in scientific fields, and at great
expense. 1t never can be fully appre-
ciated until it is used. Many of its
cures border on the miraculous. Words
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human
1ty is daily deriving from the use Of
this most wonderful remedy. It's
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered
for sale as the mountain is above the

KEEPING HUBBY AT HOME.
Clever and Successful Ruse of a Young

Clever and Successful Ruse of a Young
Kentucky Wife.
Friends of William Wilson, a we'll
TODD farmer of Fayette county, are
enjoying a joke at his expense, at the
same time expressing general admira-
ton for the ingenuity of his pretty
young wife. Wilson, a genial fellow
and popular among his friends, had
contracted the more or less reprehen-
sible habit of staying away from home
a good deal of the time evenings, and
Mrs. Wilson set about putting a stop
to the habit. Something like a fort
night ago a story to the. effect that Mrs.
Wilson had shot and mortally wound
ed an unknown tramp who had in
suited her went the rounds of the
Kentucky press. Several times since
then the body of the supposed tramp
has been reported as found in swamps
and ravines and meadows in the vi
cinity of the Wilson home. Each
time the report has proved false. The
truth of the matter is that the
tramp" story was an invention. Mrs.
Wilson became enraged because her
husband continued his practice of
leaving her alone at home, and to pre-
vent his going away in the future she
~concocted a scheme which seems to
have the desired effect. She took
down the rifle from it's pegs over the
door and, enticing the house cat on the
front porch, shot it. The cat bled
profusely. She threw away the carcass
and left the blood on the porch. Wien
her husband on his return saw the
blood and heard the tramp story he
organized a party and went cunning
for the wounded tramp" Mr.. Will
son has stayed so closely at home since
then that his wife a hight or two ago
in the fullness of her pity unfolded to
him the story of her ruse to keep him
by the hearthstone.

Then the stern face quivered, the
fiery eyes lost their fierce blaze in a
gush OF tears, and M. Jean exclaimed
ruefully:

Count Beauvais, completely cured of
pride and o%bduracy, with tears of

daughter in his arms, and giving her
to Bernard, gave also his warmest and
most grateful blessing.

critical situation. To meet as preserv-

some way obtained a paper of poison,
which she had administered to him as
well as herself. What was speedy
death for her vas a slower process
upon his stronger frame. He died, pen
itent and hopeful, breathing his last in
the cavern, surrounded by his weeping
wife and forgiving son, and leaving
his papers to r~einstate Bernard in his
lawful position, if the bloody crisis of
the country should pass away. The es-
cape of the two counts was always a
marvel, but rapidly surging events
swept it away from the minds con-
stantly familiar with new and as des-
perate tragedies, and no one had been
bold enough to question M. Jean, the
noted Jacobin. No one either suspected
the existence of the wonderful cavern,
which he had enlarged and fitted I'D
for the secure retreat of his sister and
her child. There Violante and her
father remained in safety, until an OPP
portunity came through Christophe's
sloop to escape to England with Ber-
nard, his mother and uncle, who, upon
the fall Of Robespierre, knew that
France was no longer a safe retreat for
him.
When prosperity and peace, under
Napoleon Bonaparte, once more
smoothed away the agitation of the
land, among the first to return and
claim their estate and title was Count
Bernard Hugo German, with his young
and lovely wife and her aged father.
Count Beauvais. M. Jean was left be-
hind in an English grave. The spirit
that had burned so wildly and chafed
and fretted against the bars of fate,
was early exhausted and extinguished.
Need l add n of the dearest spots to
the young heirs Of both Germain and
Beauvais, was the romantic cliff that
leaned over so frowningly upon the
blue rolling Isere?

A Telescoping Car Step That FIJI n
Long Felt Want-How Pictures of the
Voice May BE Made-New Use for
Fibre of the Pineapple.
New Use for p,peapD,s F,,ro.


Interest has recently been aroused in
the question of using pineapple fibre
as a substitute for fax, and it is
claimed by many that this material
not only possesses all the essential
characteristics of flax, but that it has
in addition advantages of its own. a
numDer OF years ago British spinners
made an attempt to use pineapple
hbre, but did not meet with success,
and in Burmah also, where the plant
Is very abundant, no serious attempt
mas ever been made to spin the fibre.
In the Philippines a variety of cloth
is made from pineapple fibre which is
celebrated for it's fine hair-like fibres,
but the plant from which the fibre is
obtained is thought to be of a differ
ent species from the usual form. In
singapore a test was made a few
months ago with some pineapple fibre,
and IL was found to sustain $50 pounds
as compared with 260 pounds supported
by an equal amount of fax. The pine
apple fibre is said to be impervious to
moisture, and ropes made of it can be
used continuously in water without
rott1ng, and it is used in India for
threading the beads of the necklaces.
1t is claimed that in fineness and luster
the pineapple fibre is superior to fax,
and the process of bleaching is suffi-
Client to destroy the adhesion existing
between the bundles of fbres so as
to render them available for spinning.
1t is also believed that the fibre can be
used as a substitute for silk in mix
lures with wool and cotton, and for
such purposes as sewing-thread, twist,
trimmings, laces, and curtains it is
considered particularly suitable. The
fibre can be obtained from both the
wild and cultivated varieties of the
pineapple; and If textile-workers car
make use of it in spinning with any
success, there seems to be no reason
why it should not enter into a number
of manufacturing processes. However,
the outcome of numerous recent
schemes to utilize various kinds of
tibres has been rather unsuccessful in
the majority of cases, and pineapple
fibre must undergo extensive trials
both in manufacture and actual use
before 1t will be used by the spinners.

Remarkable Magnetic Disturbances.

The Russian province of Kursk
proves to be one of the most remark
able areas of magnetic disturbances
yet known. M. Moureaux reports that
the differences between theory and OBJ
servation are so great that it is not
possible to draw isomagnetic lines, and
the magnetic force is as great as it
would be in the immediate vicinity of
the magnetic poles. The dip of the
needle ranges from forty-eight to sew
enty-nine degrees. At two points,
about $50 yards apart, the destinations
are minus eleven degrees and plus
forty-five degrees, and the variation at
two places about a mile and a quarter
apart is from minus thirty-four degrees
TO plus ninety-six degrees. Nothing
near the surface to cause these an
omalies is known to exist.

Queen Victoria's will is described as
engrossed on vellum, quarto size, and
bound as a volume. When the queens
death makes the document a practical
issue, will some one rise to offer the
stock objections of "unsound mind"
and undue in%fiuence?" The process
would be no more absurd than the
proceedings in our probate courts,
where the wishes of testators are so
often ignored. One almost infers that
it has become an axiom in probate
that a man who has shown good sense
and a sound mind in the sccumula-
ton of wealth is quite unequal to the
task of directing what disposition shall
be made of his money after his death,
The wise way for men to do is to give
their property in trust before death
deprives them of option in the dispo-
sition of it.

" On N occasion Hartley CoIeridge
had listened with deep apparent inter
est to the voluble discourse of a we'll
known Irish enthusiast, who spent
much of his time travelling about Eng
land and enlightening the English
mind on the subject of popish errors,
especially in Ireland. After dinner
Hartley requested to be presented to a
man so remarkable. On the presenta-
ton he took the far-famed traveller and
philosopher by the arm, while a few
of the guests gathered around, and ad-
dressed him with awful solemnity:
"Sir, there are two great evils in Ire
land" There are, indeed, sir" re-
piled the Irish guest; but please to
name them" 'The first" resumed
Hartley, "is-popery!" 1T is" said
the other; but how wonderful that
you should have discovered th@,! Now
tell me what is the second great evil"
Professionalism was Hartley's rnply,

screaming with laughter: His new ac-
quaintance remained panic-stricken.-

Snobbishness is held up to ridicule
by London Truth. A recent occurrence
in England prompted its derision. The
children of an orphan asylum at Derby
were invited by sympathetic friends to
attend a local concert, and were, OF
course, delighted at the prospect. But
the children of the poorhouse were
also invited, and intended to be pres
ent, whereupon the manager of the or
phanage declined to permit the chill
dren of that institution to share il
the anticipated enjoyment. His pro-
hibition was based on the ground that
the children of the poorhouse were
paupers, with whom he did not wish
the inmates of the o~rphanage to asso,
ciate. AS both orphanage and poor
house are charitable institutions, this
attempt at drawing the line and in
ducing one class of unfortunates tG
look down upon another as their social
interiors seems, to Truth, like "snob-
bishness gone mad"
