Poor Slnncr'n Rell.

The poor sinners bell Is bell in the
city OF Brcslau, In the province OF
Silesia, Prussia, and hangs in the tower
of one OF the city churches. 1t was
cast July II, 1886, according to historic
records. 1t Is said that great bell
founder of the place had undertaken
to make the finest church bell he had
ever made.
When the metal was melted, the
founder withdrew for few moments,
leaving a boy to watch the furnace
and enjoining him not to NEEDLE with
the catch that held the molten metal,
but the boy dlsobeycd the caution, and
when he saw the metal flowing into
the mold he cailcd the founder.
The latter rushed in and seeing as he
thought his work Of weeks undone and
his masterpiece ruined, struck the boy
Il blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and the
mold was opened, the bell was found TO
be not only perfect, but OF marvellous
sweetness of tone.
The founder gave himself up to the
authorities, was tried and condemned
to death. On the day of his execution
the bell was rung to call people to at.
tend church and offer Il prayer for the
unhappy mans soul. and from that 1t
obtained the name of the poor sinner $

Fishing For Ducks.

In India an ingenious scheme is prac-
ticed for taking ducks on line. which
Is attached at one end to a flexible stick
stuck up in the mud. the other extrem-
ity having n double pointed needle OF
bone attached to it. The latter is bait
ed by stringing upon it some grains OF
corn. Presently along comes Mr.. Duck,
swallows the needle and finds himself
A captive the moment he tries TO fly
away. In oIden times the Cape Cod
fishermen depended largely for bait up
IN the seafowl they took on their vOy-
ages. To catch them they threw out
ishing lines with hooks on the end. to
which were attached chunks OF cod

born was strangely interviewer with
the days of birth and marriage Of his
wife and some of his children and their
wives. But James was an old fool who
made love to young buckingham, who
laughed in his face aud robbed him Of
his jewels.
Napoleon was superstitious about the

One of the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.
is this 81 owe my life to DR.. Pierce"
These women have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians. They
have couuseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was just to keep them aaoat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, In the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found.
woMAN's APPEAL. ANSWERED..
Hundreds of thousands of women
have appealed to Dir, Pierce. for relief
from womanly ills and not one has APP
pealed in vain. The use of DR.. Pierce's
Pavorite Prescription supplemented by
the medical advice of DIR. Pierce has
been the means of cure to this vast army
of women suffering from diseases pecul-
lar to the sex.
uI wish to tell You the benefit re-
ceived from using your remedies.

Harrison Street, Chicago. Ills. "Two
years ago was taken with severe pain
in the left ovary and side. Tried several
different remedies, but nothing helped
me. I got so bad could scarcely walk
across the floor or do work OF any kind.
One day an old neighbor lady came in
to see me, and told me to try DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. She
said she knew 1t wowld help me, as it
had saved her life. When the doctors
had given her up and said they could
do nothing for her she said she began to
take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and it cured her. So got bottle of
the Favorite Prescription and one of

taking them. Before had taken one

a Curious Palm of south America

One of the most curious palms in the
world Is called the ita aud is very
abundant on the banks of the Amazon
Rio Negro and Orinoco rivers. In the
delta of the latter it occupies swampy
tracts. which are at times completely
Inundated and present the appearance
OF forests rising out of the water. The
swamps are inhabited by tribe of In
dams called Guaranes, who subsist al.
most entirely upon the produce of the
tree. During the annual floods they
suspend their houses from tops of the
tall stems of the palms. The outer skin
Of the young leaves Is made into cords
for hammocks, and the soft inner bark

A QUEER FREAK.

We have a friend who is the owner
of a fine farm and in every way a very
successful farmer. The fit has taken
him that he would like to sell his
farm and go into the dry goods bust
ness. Men get queer freaks OF bust
ness matters sometimes, but not often
as bad a freak as this. If there is
any business on earth which a man
needs a special training for it is the
dry goods business, and hardly a
single thing which our friend has
been learning the past twenty-five
years on the farm would be Of any
use to him in the buying and selling
of dry goods. The radical change of
employment from the farm into COM
merclal lines is hardly eve a success,
and in all too many cases men stel
from the peace and prosperity Of farm
life into the fret, turmoil and ultimate
failure of mercantile life. This may
be said to be the rule almost withou'
exception.

French in Algiers. Here the scene
changes after an elapse Of twelve
years to new characters and new

Miss Amiee Evans plays the part and
is admirably qualified for the work.
An attachment gathers in her wild
nature toward the Englishman, Cecil.
As a corporal he cannot resent the
bitter insults of his enemy, the col
