Merry Fraud on a Bank.

An impudent fraud was perpetrated
upon an English bank by one of its
customers. who opened an account with
some few hundreds of pounds. The
man, after a few weeks, drew two
checks. each within a pound or so of
his balance, and. selecting busy day,
presented himself at one end of the
counter while an accomplice, when he
saw that his friends checks had been
cashed Immediately presented his own
to a cashier at the other end. Both
cashiers referred the checks to the
ledger clerk. who. thinking the same
cashier had asked him twice, said
fright" to both checks. The thieves
were never caught.

Born Among the Bulrushes.

There is a variety of grebe (colymbus
minor which matches its young on
regular raft. Its nest is a mass of
strong stems of aquatic plants closely
fastened together. These plants con-
tain a considerable quantity of air in
their cells and set free gases in the
process of decaying. The air and the
gases imprisoned in the plant make the
nest lighter than water. The bird usu-
ally sits quietly on its eggs, but if any
Intruder approaches or any danger is
feared the mother plunges one foot in
the water and, using it as paddle,
transports her floating nest to q dis
lance, often dragging along with it a
sheet of water plants. A naturalist
who frequently watched this remark
able removal says: THE whole struc-
ture looks like a little floating island
carried along by the labor of the grebe,
which moves in the center of a mass

DeslroyIng Mosquitoes.

For several months past experiments
have been conducted at Sassari. in Sar-
DINA, by DR.. Ferni, DR.. Cossul- Rocca,
md DR.. Lumbar, for the purpose Of rid
ding that town of the mosquitoes with
which it is overrun. The doctors eff
fectually destroyed the larvae by dis
tributing large quantities of petroleum
In the swamps and other spots where
the insects bred, and the mosquitoes
were exterminated by chlorine and
other powerful destructive chemicals.
The doctors in their report considered il
possible to free any town infested with
mosquitoes by this means, provided the
place Is not too unfavorably situated.
1t is an economical remedy, costing
only about $3.50 a year for town pos
sessing population of about $4,000 in
habitants.

HIS FIRST FIRE ASSIGNMENT.

Excuse of New Reporter for Neglect
ing Duty.
"Say, hustle down to the stock yards
right away" said the city editor TO the
new reporter. There's a fire down
there. 1t may turn into something big,
but even if it doesn't we want a good
little story on it anyhow"
The new reporter shot out of the
door, with perspiration starting at
every pore. The fire did not turn ont
to be great conflagration, so no more
reporters were sent down to the yards
to take care of it. The city editor de-
pended upon his new man for the story.
But for some unaccountable reason the
reporter failed TO return to the office
and the paper had to go to press with
put the account of the fire.
The next day about noon the new
man strolled leisurely into the office
entirely unprepared for the thunder
storm that broke over his head as soon
as the city editor caught sight of him.
Say, what the dickens is the natter
with you anyhow" said the editor.

Primitive Methods I'm Corea.

Individual missionaries and mechari-
les have trained Corean carpenters in
the use of American tools, but as rule
they prefer their old-style planes
which they draw toward them in plan
ing, and like best to use their Own
saws, which necessitate the employ
ment of two men sitting opposite each
other on the ground and operating the
saw on the stick or timber, which is
held in place by the feet of the opera
tors. In spite of these apparently
clumsy methods the Corean carpenters
do very fair work.

GHOSTS ARE PLAINLY VISIBLE.
Some People So Constituted that They

Some People So Constituted that They
See Supernatural Beings.
There is no doubt that person may
apparently see objects and hear words
which another person close by cannot
see and hear. Such impressions are to
be referred not to actually existing OBJ
jects, but to the action of the subjects
mind. DR.. Abercromby tells us of one
patient who could, by directing his at
tention to an idea, call up to sight the
appropriate image or scene, though the
thing called up were an object he had
never seen but had merely imagined.
When meeting a friend in the street he
could not be sure whether the appear
ance was his friend or a spectral illu-
sion till he had tried to touch it and had
heard the voice. Goethe saw an exact
counterpart of himself advancing to-
ward him, an experience repeated by
Wilkie Collins. Sir Walter Scott re-
lates that soon after the death of Lord
Byron he read an account of the de-
ceased poet. On stepping into the hall
Immediately after he saw right before
him, in standing posture, the exact
representation of his departed friend,
whose recollection had been so strongly
brought to his imagination. After stop
ping moment to note the extraordin-
airy resemblance he advanced toward II
and the figure gradually disappeared.
Some of the cases narrated by Sir
David Brewster are particularly in
structive. The subject was a lady
Mrs. Al and her Authorizations were
carefully studied by her husband and
Sir David. On one occasion she saw
her husband, as she thought, who had
gone out half an hour before, standing
within two feet of her in the drawing
room. She was astonished to receive
no response when she spoke to him.
She remembered that Sir David had
told her to press one eyeball with the
finger when the impression of any real
object would be doubled. She tried to
apply the test, but the figure walked
! away and disappeared. The simple
scientific experiment diverted her at
tention from the creation of her mind,
and this, no longer being in sole possess
sion, could not maintain itself and was
dissolved. Another hallucination took
the form of her dead sister-in-law. The
figure appeared in a dress which Mrs.
A had never seen, but which had been
described to her by a common friend

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

By local applications, they can noc

There is only way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect
hearing, and when ii is entirely closed
deafness is the result and unless the in
Illumination 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.

THE ONE MEDICINE

in the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which afflict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body Any congestion of mucous
ne nbrane simply means catarrh of. the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.
