For the cure of epilepsy, or the falling
sickness, numerous are the charms that
have been invented. A very common
remedy among the poor people about
London and particularly in Essex was to
cut the tip of a black cats tail in order
to procure three drops of blood, which
are to be taken in a spoonful of milk and
repeated three days successfully. If the
patient was informed of the composition,
it lost its efficacy. The patients also were
to creep head foremost down some three
pairs of stairs three times day for three
successive days-London Answers.

A Civil Word.

A French king once said, "If civil
word or two will make a man happy, he
must be a churl indeed who would not
give them to him." If this feeling were
acted on, how much happier the world
would be! We may say of this kindly
temper that it is like lighting another
mans candle by ones own, which loses
none of its light by what the other gains.

zone of the most remarkable captures
in the history of my experience" said
well known detective, happened some
years ago, and 1 need not mention the
place nor the circumstance in connection
with the case. 1t was in a case where
$4,000 had suddenly and mysteriously
disappeared from a bank. The money
was in a package and was near the pay
ing teller's window. The bank was open
and doing business, for the money disap-
peared before it was time for the bank to
close.
"In the rush of business the teller had
left his post at the window for a minute,
and it was while he was gone that the
roll of money disappeared. He was dunn
founded when he discovered that wad
of money amounting to 100000 had dis
appeared from the amount he had on the
counter behind the screen. Diligent
search was made. The money was gone.
There had been no one in the wicketed
Enclosure but the teller. He was fearful
" distressed. He did not know what to
make of it all. The bank officials were
badly puzzled.
can examination of the outside of the
wooden framework revealed a very small
triangular scar on the woodwork, as if
some person had attempted to climb up to
q position where the money could be
reached. The money was back several
feet from the window. The scar was
freshly made, and it looked very much
like the imprint of a peculiarly shaped
tack in the heel of shoe. Probably
twenty days later member Of the detec-
tive force happened to be passing through
q prominent hotel. A stranger was sit
ting in the lobby and he was striking the
heel of his shoe with pencil with brass
on the end of it which he had in his hand,
and it made a sort of clinking sound. The
detectives attention was arrested. He
made inquiries of the clerk with refer
ence to the man. The clerk knew nothing
about him except that he had been at the
hotel for some time.
''The detective concluded that he would
take long chance. He arrested the man.
His trunk, valise and room were search
ed. No money could be found. The pris-
oner all the time was giving out excited
protestations. Finally the officers thought
they would make a close examination of
the mattress. 1t was a happy thought,
for they found the money, and the $780,
600 was there, and the paying teller was
the happiest man in the world. New

scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows that
if her churn is sour it will faint the butter
that is made in it. The stomach is a
churn. In the stomach and digestive and
nutritive tracts are performed processes
which are exactly akin to the churning of
butter. Is it not apparent then that if
this stomach churn is ''sour" it sours all
which is put into it? The evil of foul
stomach is not the bad taste in the mouth
and the foul breath caused by it, but the
corruption of the pure current of the blood
and the dissemination of disease through
out the body. DR.. Pierce's Golden Dis
