Paid In Oysters,

When the collier Brutus of the navy
reached Mare Island navy yard the
other day, after voyage to Manila,
her bottom was found covered with
mature oysters, and the commandant
of the navy yard has forwarded to the
bureau of construction and repairs a
box containing samples of the shells.
The painting upon the plates below the
water line was in good condition, and
there was no unusual corrosion, but
from stem to stern she was covered
with these oysters, which became at
tached to her while lying in Manila
bay. On one occasion, when all the coal
in her hold had been removed and a
large part of her bottom was exposed
above the water, the plates were clean
ed by the natives without expense on
condition that they be allowed to keep
the oysters, which they consider a great
delicacy.

Wonderful Results.
People Tell What Has Been
Done For Them.
The Testimony of Well-Kn0wn Citi-
zenS Ought Surely to Con-
vince You.

If we publish the recommendation
of some person in Ohio, who has
used Morrow's Kid-ne-oids for back
ache and kidney disorders and has
been cured, you have no reason to
doubt. We give you the names of
people living right here in this State,
so YOU can consult them. We make
no false statements nor claims for
Kid-ne-oids, but give you the evil
dence of people whom you know. If
Kid-ne-oids did not do as we claim
they do, people would not give their
testimony, Here is what Mrs. De-
lilah Hill, % N. Enterprise street,
Bowling Green, Ohio, says: "For
several years 1 have suffered with
pains across the small of my back
and in my head, also rheumatism
and was extremely nervous. / took
several kinds of remedies that were
recommended to cure my troubles,
but they gave me no benefit until [
tried Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. | had
only taken them a little while until

Morrow's Kid-nesoids are not pills,
but yellow tablets and sell at fifty
cents box at all drug stores and at

A Hnt Experiment.

A gentleman who visited a pumping
station of the Philadelphia water
works was shown into the engine
room. What | am proudest of here
is my draft" said the engineer. Here
it is" He raised Il trap door in the
floor, disclosing black hole about
foot square. and the visitor looked in
eagerly. Nothing was to be seen, but
a tremendous draft sucked in his silk
hat. "Ha! ha." cried the engineer,
joyOusly. Now this is an interesting
experiment Just watch that tall
stack over there" He pointed to the
lofty stack, and as he did so the silk
hat shot straight out of it, so feet up
in the air, and then like big black
bird sailed slowly away. Grand ex-
pertinent indeed" said the visitor,
land l thank you for it. l will now
endeavor to secure the remains of my
hat" So he chased away after his
property. while the engineer looked on
with an amused smile.

Proved HI. Theory. but Died.

The acme of realism was reached,
though by accident, in a criminal trial
a few years ago at Lebanon. O.
Two men had personal encounter.
One of them, after vainly trying to
draw his pistol from his hip pocket,
turned to flee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small of the hack. One
chamber of his pistol was found to have
been fired. His assailant was tried for
murder.
The defense contended that the man
had shot himself while trying to draw
his pistol. which had become entangled
in the lining of the pocket, and that the
prisoners shot had not taken effect.
The prosecution contended that such a
wound could not have been self inflicted
The defendants counsel. Clement L.
Vallandigham. undertook to demon
strate to the jury just how the dead
mans pistol had hung in the pocket and
just how possible it was to infiict such
a wound. Suddenly there was loud
report. and the lawyer sank to the floor.
The ball had entered the back almost in
the identical spot where the dead man
had been shot
The defendant was acquitted. Mr.
Valandigham died. - Cleveland Plain

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
