of Allegheny City; with every change of

fail and | realized something, must be

Our good old family physician, DR..

If l was determined to try patent medi-
cine's he would advise me to begin with
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because he knew
what they contained and he had heard

from their use, and furthermore that
they were perfectly safe containing no
cocaine or opiates.

enough in praise of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
These tablets contain extract of Euca-
lyptus bark Guaiacol, blood root and
other valuable anti-septics combined in
pleasant tablet form. and it is safe to
say that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
far superior in convenience, safety and
effectiveness to the antiquated treatment

They are sold by druggists everywhere

Mr. S. T. Willfcng in speaking of the

says this is the only year since he has
been farming that he had his wheat all
sown and corn gathered by the first day

The sweet potato crop is surprising the

last year, but it is turning out splendidly,
and some farmers say they have as good

out the sweet potatoes. They have grown
more during that time, some say than

The Way This SvvtndIe Is ArtfuIIy
Worked In Mexico.
Mine sailing nowadays has devel-

gineer and assayer who has lately re-
tnrped from the inspection of some
properties in old Mexico. "In former
times it was done crudely A rascal
who wanted to give fictitious value to
q worthless prospect hole generally
bought or stole a sack of high grade
ore and simply scattered it about the
excavation, where the victim would be
likely to pick up few pieces for sam
ping. Ii an exposed ledge was to be
dealt with, he sometimes filed up $40
goldpiece, loaded the dust into a shot
gun and fred it against the surface
from which specimens would be taken.
But at present greater finesse is
needed. The up to date purchaser in
sists upon having fresh ore blasted out
from beneath the surface, where it
could not possibly be tempered with,
and seals it up in little canvas sack
for the nssayer with his own hands.
1t Is then that the latest development,
the hypodermic syringe. comes into
play. The scientific mine salter has
one Of these handy little implements
in his coat pocket, charged with a solu-
ton of chloride of gold.
He watches for an opportunity, and
when one presents itself quietly thrusts
the tip of the needle through the can
vas sack and gives the piston gentle
push. The consequence is that a few
drops of the liquid are discharged over
the surface of the ore. The quantity of
gold in the solution is almost infinitesi-

say $1,000 IL ton.
Meanwhile the victim is tranquil in
the knowledge that he has selected the
samples himself and has them safely
sacked under his own private seal.
