It is Peculiar to Itself.

The Philadelphia Record tells a story of a physician of that city who was called to see an old Irishman and his wife, down with colds. He advised quinine and whisky as an antidote. "You must both take it," he said. "Take it every three hours-two grains of quinine and swallow of whisky" The next day he called again. The man was up and about, but his wife was in bed. "Did you follow my in- structions" asked the doctor.
 'To the letther," replied the hus- band.
 ''How much quinine have you leftY was the next question.
 Sure, Oi t'ink she have taken tn whole av it." said the man.
 "And didn't you take it, tool? asked the doctor.
 "Divil tn bit," was the reply. "Be- gorrah, it kept me busy takin tn whis- ky every toime she took pill, an sure she's in bed an Oi'm up.''

The Humorous Primate,

There is story told of candidate for the pulpit who was preaching au eX tempore trial sermon before the late Archbishop Tait and Dean Stan ley.
 In his extreme nervousness he be- gan in a stammering way, ''I will di- vide my congregation into two-the converted and the unconverted."
 This proved too much for the pri- mates sense of humor, and he eX- claimed, "I think, sir, as there are only two of us, you had better say which is which. ."-London Standard.

TESTS AT INDIAN HEAD.

Uncle Sam's Proving Grounds Located
 in Charles County, Maryland. | Most people have heard of Indian
 Head, but very few appear to know
 much about it or even it's location. That it is a tract of land owned by the Federal government somewhere in Maryland, where Uncle Sam fires off his big guns and smashes armor plate, ! Is the very general and mystical con- ception of the place.
 l Outside of the proving ground and smokeless powder factory features, however there are some interesting things worth knowing about Indian Head itself-that is, the town of Indian Head, if 1t may be so called. The fact is that there is no incorporated town of that name, but there are several clus- terS of houses twenty-five miles down the Potomac River from Washington, ou the Maryland shore, situated in Charles County, so designated. No one mas ever been accused of calling this place town, for it is not dignified with n town hall, or even a church. It has the distinction, though, of fostering four saloons
 The dwellings number about thirty. nearly all of which are lighted by elec- tricity, furnished with bathrooms and water, and supplied with the usual modern appliances found in city houses. There is one row of six brick houses standing alone, says the Baltimore Sun. A strong imagination might fancy them lifted up bodily from some city and de- pOsited here in splendid isolation. An other curious thing about Indian Head is line of trolley cars. These are for the exclusive use of the government, however. There are no railroad facili- ties for reaching Baltimore or Washing ton, the nearest railway station being La Plata, the county seat of Charles County. fifteen miles away. The only means of transportation is by river steamers and these facilities are not very ample.
 Indian Head has a special reputation for malaria and the cOncOmitant mos quito, some of which finger here all the year around, and in consequence qui- nine is staple drug in the community.
 Over 300 government employees make their homes in and around Indian Head. Society is divided into several classes, the naval officers, of course, having an exclusive society of their own. There are practically no private enterprises there.

A RinN trnm Rai,ind.

"One winter. when things were rath, CT slow in New York city-it was just before John L.'s t!me"-said the old pu- gilist, i've made up little party and hired hall in one of the fishing towns not far away. We advertised a prize of $fO for any one who could stay on his feet against our men for five rounds. It was safe money, although when two or three of the boats came in at the same time we had all we could handle.
 "But one night a fellow as big as the Fide of house came along, and we smelled trouble. We put him up against the heaviest man in our par ty, who, though he only tipped the scales at 1S0 pounds, had two good hands and a head that you couldn't hurt with a piledriver. But the stran- ger was no slouch, and at the end of the fourth round we began to worry about the tenner.
 'The ring was on the stage at the front of the hail, and at the rear of the stage there were two windows. So says to our man as I sponged his mouth, Work him over to one of the windows
 Ut wasn't no easy job. but he did It before time was half up, and as the duffer backed Up near the window he got a crack in, the head from behind that dumped him in Q heap. That's the way we saved our ten.
 'But the funny part of it is that our champeen lad caught the local guy on the jaw tie same moment. and we could never persuade him that it wasn't himself that secured the knock Out."-Ncw York Sun

Not Second Sight.

In happenings that savor of the su. pernatural there is often less rather than more than is "dreamt of in philos- ophy."
 In the English county of Wiltshire there lived a woman whose deceased husband had been pig dealer. After his death it was her habit to remark to chance visitors, without looking out the window:
 That's a nice lot of young pigs, those"
 "Where?" the person present was sure to ask.
 "Comin down the road" was the in. variable reply. They're in a cart, and, what's more, there's a fine fat SOW among 'em."
 And it would not be long before cart would appear and in it litter of pigs and among them the sow which the woman had perceived at such a distance up the road. One day a vis- itor, who saw in this exhibition an evidence of second sight, exclaimed:
 'How do.you do it? It is simply won- derfulp'
 "'Tain't no miracle" was the modest reply. "I've just got my ear trained to pigs-that's an."

Iron Melted in Five Seconds.

A European inventor recently per- formed a remarkable experiment in the laboratory of Thomas A. Edison at Orange, N. J. He placed a cup half full of a chemical in a crucible and covered it with a small quantity of powdered aluminium. He then placed an iron wrench about half an inch thick and six inches long in the crucible. Touching a match to the compound, the mixture blazed furiously, and in five seconds the iron wrench was melted. It was estimated that the heat evolved in the process was 5000 degrees centigrade, hitherto considered impossible to reach. The inventor keeps the nature of his chemical compound a secret.

SAN DARK SPOTS A Victim of BiliOusness and InflammatOry Rheumatism Tells How He Became
 Free From Disease

A recommendation that is not based upon experience is without value but | in the following interview the reader will at once recognize the force of ad- vice that is the result of personal knowledge.
 Mir. Ned Yerkes Hawley is a trav- cling man whose home is at 1926 w. Boone Ave, Spokane, Wash. He has recently had an experience of more than general interest and in an inter- view with a representative of the Spokesman-Review of Spokane, he said:
 'In June, 1899, I became bilious and subject to dizzy spells. l had no ap- petite, my heart seemed to flutter at times and beat irregularly, and dark spots seemed to float before my eyes. This continued for about six months. During that time I was troubled with lamencss in my back and pains over my kidneys. I was under a physi- clans care and he told me that my trouble was biliousnesS and inf1amma- tory rheumatism. I was in bed for over four weeks and did not seem to be getting any better.
 "One day I saw an advertisement in which it was stated that a case sim liar to mine had been cured by Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. I procured some of the pills and within two weeks the infammatory rheuma- tism, which had become very acute and caused me the most intenese suffering, was entirely cured.
 You will therefore realize that I am a firm believer in Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They cured me and I am so sure that they will prove equeally valuable in other cases that I have recommended them to a great many people.
 NED YERKES HAWLEY.
 Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataXia. par tial paralysis St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, after-effects of the grip, palpita- tion of the heart, pale and sa1Iow com plexions and all forms of weakness either in male or female.

Fatal Shooting at West Baden.
SHERMAN MYERS, OF BOONE TOWN.
SHIP, KILLED
In . Sslooa Fight.

Last Saturday night. Sherman
Myers, a young farmer of Boone
township, in this county. was shot
and killed ry a saloon keeper named
Hawkins, at West Baden. 1t is re-
ported that Myers had drank con-
siderable on Saturday before visiting
Hawkins saloon, and plainly showed
the effects Of it. Upon going up to
the par he called upon several 9TH
ers to drink with him, and told
Hawkins to set out his ''best whis-
key" After drinking he said the
whiskey was no account, and that
he didn't ord.r that kind and would
not pay for it. Hawkins replied
that he thought he al q d-n dead
beat, that he never liked him even
a little bit, but that il he would
leave the saloon, and not come
about it any more, he would not
charge him anything for the drinks
he had ordered. Then Myers cursed
him, and put his hand behind him,
as il to reach a pistol, when Hawkins
pulled his pistol from under the bar
and shot, the ball going through
Myers thigh, who fell to the floor
and bled to death before a physician
reached him. Hawkins was arrest
ed, charged with murder, taken be-
fore a j. p. and waived IN exam.
nation, and was committed to the
Jail at Paoli.
1t is said the difficulty ,vss the
result Of an old grudge Of several
years standing, when Myers father
was knocked down in a fight BY
Hawkins, who in turn was also
knocked by this son, and that bad
blood existed between them ever
since.
