LIZARD IN HIS STOMACH.
A Clinton Man Had One in There fo,
Three Years.

For number of years George C. Nc
Clusky of Sixth avenue, this city, SUI
fered terrible agony from what he SUD-
posed to be tum.or In his stomach. His
appetite failed him and he gradually fell
OF IN weight until he weighed but 1O5
pounds. He eou'' d find no relief in medi-
cine and finally went to the Marine hos
having an operation performed. He in
formed the physicians that for the past
three years he had been suffering untold
agonies from some unknown cause, which
he supposed to be a tunlor. He also stat.
ed that at times he thought there was
something alive in his stomach. He had
also made the same statement to his
friends here, frequently, during the past
two years.
The physicians at the hospital made
an examination and informed Mr.. Nc
Clusky that there was something alive in
his stomach and that it would have to be
removed or death would be certain within
a few months at least. They. also ad-
vised McClusky that the operation would
ing man replied that he would take the
chances. as he saw no hopes in his pres
ent condition
For three days, IcClusky did not take
any food. At the end Of this time, q
piece of bread, soaked in poison, was

such it proved to be. had become raven
Gus and during the three days it's mo-
tons could be distinctly observed.
A short time after McClusky had TAX
en- the poisoned bread into his stoma ch
he was given a powerful cathartic, and
a few minutes later passed lizard
which measured five and a nalf inches in
length. The poison was then removed.
For three days Mr.. McClusky's life was
despaired Of. Then he showed signs Of
improvement and commenced to gain
strength rapidly: He arrived home a few
days ago, and to a H erald reporter today
stated that he feels about as we'll as ever
and weighs $50 pounds.
Naturallsts who examined the lizard
stated that it was about eight years
years ago, while fishing one day, he
drank out of the river, as hundreds of
people are accustomed to do. when there
is no better method. He said he noticed
that some foreign substance passed down
his throat: but thought no more of the
matter. This was when he swallowed the
lizard, which he cared for so tenderly for
nearly decade.
He felt no effects from the intruder un-
til about three years ago, when his stom-
ach commenced to trouble him. He said
if he went without food for several hours
the pains became intense. and at times he
thought he felt something moving, but
attributed this idea to Imagination. He
said lie could find relief only by taking
drink Of liquor, This, undoubtedly, stu

From Deaths Door.

Hillsdale, ILL.,, April 29th.-Much in.
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in dying condition for several months
with an apparently incurable Kidney
Disease.
The leading physicians Of this place
had pronounced his case hopeless one.
and others from Port Byron, Geneseo.
and Davenport, Ia, had attended him,
and in consultation decided that he
could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
Of Mr.. L. F. Giles, local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to be
up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk Of the neighbor-
hood. and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that this
new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, will
cure any case of Kidney Disease. for
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and Dropsy
yield readily to Its remarkable influ-
ence. These forms Of Chronic Kidney
Disease have hitherto been considered
incurable, and have bafaed all medical
SKILL and yet this new remedy has
cured every single case In which it has
been used. IN this neighborhood. The
doctors themselves are amazed 1t the
wonderful work Dodd's kidney Ptlls
are accomplishing in Rock Island

Minnesota's dairy and food commits
sioner says reports received thus far by
him indicate that at least 100 new cream
cries will be opened in that state this
year. There are now 1872. The commits
sioner says: The plans for these
creameries do not come from any partic-
ular section Of the state, but interest has
been awakened all through the common
wealth. The interest is especially in
tense, however, at Hinckley and sur
rounding towns. This portion Of the
state is recovering rapidly from the eff
fects Of the big fires that swept it off
the man."

In race across the Atlantic from Liv.
erpool to Philadelphia to load a cargo of
water pipes for Sourabaya, Java, the
fonr-masted American ship Kenilworth,
Capt. Taylor, eclipsed all previous sail
ing records when she passed in the Della
ware Capes the other day, 1872 days
from the time of her departure from the
River Mersey. From sailing stand
point this passage has never been
equaled by vessel of the Kenilworth's
class, the nearest approach to it being
the trip made between Liverpool and
New York, in March, 1893, by the Amer
lean clipper ship A. J. Ropes, which CON-
pleted the passage in nineteen days. The
difference in time is somewhat over
twelve hours and besides the Kenilworth
covered 12O more miles in actual dis
lance.

The distances over which birds migrate
vary between wide limits and, are often
surprisingly great. The bo'bolinks, which
rear their young on the shores Of Lake
Winnipeg and go to Cuba and Porto Rico
to spend the winter, twice traverse a, dis
lance exceeding $500 miles, or more than
fifth of the circumference Of our earth,
each yeaf. The kingbird lays its eggs
as far north as the 57th degree Of lati-
tude. and is found in the winter in South
America. The biennial pilgrimage of the
little redstart exceeds 5000 miles and the
tiny humming bird 1000.

THE CAR TO HIS VALET.

The moon has left the sky,
The morning sun Is rising fast,
And so, T. faith, must I.
Get out my safest suit of clothes,
No garb Of flimsy cloth,
But rather one with steel begirt,
For l must sally forth.
This morn I walk across the yard,
Across the yard and back,
And on such fearsOme jaunt,
No proper garb should lack.
Get out my shoes of copper brown,
Get out my socks of mail.
Get out the double armored coat
That sports the iron tail:
l want shirt Of tempered steel,
=, pair Of pants to match,
A hat, SO firm and hard and stanch,
That bullets cannot scratch.
Ill button every seam with nails
And rivets use for studs,
And then I'll risk the molten bath
10 harveyiZe my duds.
Prepare the bath, o. Witchiswitch,
And do it quick l warn.
For who can tell, some Njniist
Might shoot me, while you're gone.
