Lost by . Toy Balloon.

Diamonds and other jewels have been lost in all sorts of queer ways, but in none more unusual than the accident mentioned in the Boston Transcript, by which a diamond brooch was snatched from the owners dress and left some where on the great plains.
 A young woman was travelling by rail through Kansas. At Kinsley, where the train made q considerable stop, q fair was in progress. Here the young woman bought of peddler toy bal loon for little girl who had won her fancy.
 The child was delighted with the plaything. and as they rode along she chatted with her new friend and pulled the balloon up and down. At length she playfully fastened the string to the lady's diamond brooch
 The train was rounding a curve at the moment. and strong gust of air came through the car. The balloon was carried out through the open window. The sudden jerk on the string lOosened the brooch, and away 1t sailed.
 The jewel was so valuable that the young woman offered reward of $500 for its recovery. Spurred by this in. centive, cowboys secured the plains for days in all directions, but without success

A Tough Negro.

Stories of brute toughness and Ho, merle endurance are tenderly preserv. ed in the folklore of the water front how, for instance. Scipio Flanagan, "the biggest nigger in the basiness," supported the entire weight of an i'm mense packing case. weighing upward of 1,S00, on his prostrate body. The negro held the hand truck to receive the case, which In the hands of half a dozen men was being balanced at just the right angle to slip into place. But it hit the edge of the truck and knock. ed it away, and the negro unluckily lost his footing and fell flat with the great box On top of him. He shrieked in terror and groaned, it was said. like siren whistle, but when gang of fifteen men lifted the thing bodily and pulled him out all he did was to screw his fists into his eyes like big child. stretch his long limbs grotesquely and return to work. Of course he talked about this feat for many a Gay.-Frank Leslie's Monthly.

Balxnc's Way.

Jules Sandeau relates that one time while living in Paris Balzac locked himself up in his room for twenty-two days and twenty-two nights, refusing to see any one and keeping the cur. tains closed and the lights continually burning even in broad daylight. The only human being he saw during this time was his servant, whom he rang for when he felt the need of food and which he washed down with numerous cups of coffee. He would throw him. self on his bed only when entirely ex hausted from lack of sleep, and he re- mained in complete ignorance of what was transpiring outside. the state of the weather and even of the time and day of the week. He only freed him. self from this voluntary captivity when he had written the word End" on the last page of the manuscript he began when he entered his prison.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 12l7 West 33rd St., Minneapolis, Minn., as follows:
 W Suffe red for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. 1t interferred often with my domestic and social duties and never sup posed that would be cured, as the doctors medicine did not seem to help me any.
 Unfortunately me Der of our Or der advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that 1 decided to try it. Although started in with little faith, felt so much better in week that felt encouraged.
 "i took 1t faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing could wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy that now. "--Minnie E. MeAi- lister.
 The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many peo- pie to initiate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found Tn many drug stores. These remedies can be pro- cured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist ran get it cent cheaper.
 Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap limitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without doubt.

The Co3rn of India.

Among the true cobras of India the naja is found all over India and Cey- lon. Burma. the Andaman islands, southern China and the Malay benin. sula and archipelago. It ascends the Himalayas to an altitude of 5000 feet. It extends also over Afghanistan and through Persia to the eastern shore of the Caspian. It may attain q length of nearly seven and half feet. but it is usually not more than q little over five and half feet long. Najas vary much in color and markings. but have generally the spectacle mark on the back of the neck, which they always distend before making an attack.-- Quarterly Review.

A Pleasant Prospect.

A young man named Mooney enlisted in the army. After he had been in h. dia for about five months he received q pathetic letter from his parents which said that if he did not send them some money they would be forced to go to the workhouse.

Effect of the Sun on Monuments.

The perpendicularity of monument is visib!y affected by the rays of the sun. On every sunny day a tall monu- ment has regular swing leading away from the sun. This phenomenon is due to the greater expansion of the side on which the rays of the sun fall. A pen dulum placed inside, say, Nelson's col umn, in Trafalgar square, would be found to describe on every clear day an ellipse of nearly half an inch in dt- umeter.-English Mechanic.

A RIVER OF LAND.
Astonishing Amount of Earth That
 Flows Down the Mississippi.

FAOVS ASO"" AHC "AASoASbARRAs
 "The capacity of the Mississippi for filling up canals and old channels is something awful" says John Swain IF Ainslee's. Government engineers have found that the amount of solid matter annually carried past Vicksburg in sus pension is enough to make block of earth 300 feet high and mile square. Fifty feet off the top of this is spread around on the valley between here and the sea. and the rest goes out into the gulf of Mexico to build up more conti nent.
 "rhink what that means. Instead of a river of water this is q river of land. It would make d solid stream of earth five feet deep and nine feet wide, flow. ing night and day as fast as man can walk, four miles an hour, all sliding down off the northern half of the coun. try toward the sea. Year in, year out, that endless line of earth goes on. Il would take force of more than 50,000 men working in eight hour shifts to throw the dirt into the stream, suppos. ing the river bed were rigid and an in. exhaustible supply of dirt on the bank. It would make 25.00O,000 wagon loads every year.
 "But here-what are the use of such figures? Below Vicksburg-and above 1t, too, to an eXtent-we have the earth itself to speak for it. Except for the occasional fragments of the line of bluffs along the eastern edge below here which bob up at Fort Adams, at Natchcz. at Grand Gulf, at Baton Rouge, at Port Hudson. there is noth. ing about the level of the high water river except the artificial levees. These are in places miles back, great earthep banks, sometimes thirty feet high or more, sodded and free from trees, which protect the wonderfully fertile region behind them.
 And all this level country which the river overhows and fertilizes is constantly increased by this river of dirt which the Mississippi brings down from the inner region. gathered all the way from the Rockies to the Allegha. nies. Sometimes the river starts to eat away this land that it has made. In q single summer. if it will. 1t eats away half mile of it out of some bend. It cuts 1t out sometimes an acre at a bite and takes with it forests, houses. levees and all else.
 "The river is not uniformly moving stream. One side or th~ middle moves swiftly; the other parts are still or sluggish. Sometimes even these run up stream. The swift part is the chan. nel current and runs in the deepest sec. tions. It makes crossings whenever driven off shore by promontory. These crossings are dumping places for the surplus earth the river has picked up in the bend it is eating."

CATARREID

Catarrh has become such a common disease that person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, it very soon becomes SO.
 The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
 Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. S. s. S.. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar- rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases.
