The Royal Month andthe ROya

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con
sumptive. The progress of scrofula dur
ing anormal October is commonly great.
We never think of scrofula-its punches,
cutaneous eruphons, and wasting of the
bodily Instrumentation thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world
There is probable not city or town
where Hood Sarsaparilla has not prov
ed its merit IN more homes than one, in
arresting and completely eradicating
serofula, which is almost n serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.

TOUGH BUcKSKIN.

and All,

Everybody knows that the early
pioneers and plainsmeh wore clothes
of buckskin. They did it not only be-
cause cloth was hard to get, but be-
cause buckskin, although soft and
comfortable, will stand great wear and
tear. One may be pardoned. however,
if he doubts the story of the strength
of buckslxin told by one of a group of
old settlers, who were discussing the
degeneracy OF the present age, says
Youths Companion.
II was breaking sod in northern
Texas" he said, with four yoke OF
oxen. Something frightened them and
we started on dead run straight for
a large sycamore stump which was at
least three feet in diameter.
"The plow struck it about in the
center, and split it wide open. l was
still clinging to the handles of the
plow, which went clean through the
stump, dragging me after. The stump
flew together aga.n and caught me
by the seat of HAy bucksl,in pants"
"What happened them?" asked one
of the listeners.
well, sir, would you believe it? We
pulled that stump cut by the roots"

EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKES.
erIand, West Indies, Spain
and Algeria.

During the shock which occurred
in the canton of Vlais, Switzerland,
in 1855, the owls, which are, as a
rule, the most timid and suspicious
of birds, gathered upon the trees
nearest to the houses, while other
birds, such as swallows, took their
fight toward other lands, says Les
lies Weekly. 1t has been noticed
in the West Indies and elsewhere
that, during an earthquake, domestic
animals, such as the OK and the
horse, will get close to each other
and tremble all over. During the
series of earthquake shocks in Ca
labria a hundred years ago the dogs
hOwled so loudly and dolefully that
they were killed, and the same was
the case at Philippeville in 1856;
while at Bougie, in Algeria, the very
nightingales and other song birds
were SO struck with terror that none
of them uttered a note for more
than a week.
During the violent shocks which
occurred in Spain during December,
1884, some enormous crevices were
formed, and houses were swallowed.
Along the tableland of Quito in 1877
several cracks opened and closed in
such a way that some people were
able to escape by stretching out both
arms. Many persons on horseback
and mules laden with merchandise
were swallowed up while others es-
capped by moving rapidly backward.
Alexander Won Humboldt relates that
on this occasion many houses sunk
into the earth with so little damage
that the occupants, safe from all in
jury, were able to open the inside
doors, and await their deliverance
for two whole days. They went
from room to room, with lighted
torches to see their way, cooked
their food and discussed with one
another the chances of their being
rescued.
Among the curious effects of earth
quakes must be reckoned the deep
wells, which open instantaneously
and which are found to be full of
water or sand to their mouth, the
latter being, as a rule, round and
convex, and nearly always surround
ed with a layer of slime. The most
celebrated of these basins, in respect
to number, dimensions and ym-
metry, are those at Rosario, in Gala
bria, which had their origin ir the
two earthquakes of 1888. Immedi-
ately after the shock most of these
wells bad the shape of funnel in
side, and looked like small ponds,
some filled with water and others
with sand, which came right up TO
the surface. This fact might possi-
bly, be explained by the large quanti-
ty of earthly substances forced up to
the surface, which, accumulating.
produced an obstacle which the wa
ter, raised from the depths of the
globe, could not surmount. .nWi

A SLUMP IN CATFISH.
The Disappointing Outcome OF an
Ingenious but Very Imprnc-
ticabIe Scheme.

"Just below the cabin was bayou
connected with the Mississippi river by
a ditch" pleasantly began our south
ern tramp, says the Detroit Free Press,
"and as | stood on it's banks with the
squatter / asked him how many cat
fish he thought there were in its wa
ters.
"'Not blamed one he replied,
with considerable heat.
"'But they can run in here from the
river said.

when this bayou was chuck full of
catfish, but 1 went and made a pesky
fule o. myself. A feller cum along

fish and gin me powerful lot O. CAB.
He'd been up moth and diskivered that
all high-toned folks was cryin' arter
catfish. They wanted it boiled, baked
and fried. They wanted catfish roe,
and they wanted catfish smoked.
They'd dun got tired of oysters, quail
and duck, and they had turned to cat
fish as the best thing to be had

$50 he said, sub, and he figured that
1 ought to make hundred dollars a
day if follered his advice
"'As to what?'
GAS to cuttin' that yere ditch from
the bayou to the river. The idea was
to let mo- catfish in-heaps mo-. Cat
fish was to cum in till they crowded
each other out on the banks ana L
could lift 'em into the cart
"'And how did it work?'
'Dawg-gone it, but how should it
hev worked? exclaimed the man as he
jumped up and cracked his heels to-
gether. 1T took me three months to
dig that ditch and diskiver what an
idiot L was. Instead of mo- catfish
comm in from the river, every pesky
thing that could swim went out of my
bayou through that ditch into the big
waters, and not so much as a frog
has BIN seen yere since
1T seems as if the catfish should
have come in said.
"'Yes, but they went out instead,
and drat my hide and durn my but
tons, but the next man who comes
along with a scheme will want wings

NEwsY NOTES ON DRESS.
Various hits of FInery That Are In
Evidence I'm the Seasons
Costumes.

A narrow red leather belt and bag
are as smart and simple as may be.
Skirts and entire garments of accor-
dion-plaited silk are among the novel
ties, says fashion authority.
in the new silk and linen handker-
chiefs for women the most attractive
are in shades of lavender, with dots
or stripes in white.
The use of colored semi-precious
stones in working out embroidered de-
signs for dinner gowns is on the in
crease, as the effect is rich and pleas
ing.
ore of the fads now is to have flow
ers tied with wide ribbon of mousse
line de sole or a violet silk cord with
little silk balls or tassels at the ends.
An interesting fob is in the form of
an old silver coin with an old tavern
upon ii and an old-fa shioned coach and
four, the latter in enamel, yellow and
blue.
Simple in effect is a pair of corsets
finished with wide white satin ribbon
at both upper and lower edges. This is
simply facing put on plainly, and is
more effective than many frills of lace.
There is nothing that cannot be
found in pongees, plain and embroid-
cred. A small embroidered figure in
brown is one of the best combinations,
but no one will say that pongee made
up with black is not smart.
Such things as there are in muslin
underskirts, lace trimmed! They
came with white ground and colored
dots of different kinds upon them, are
well shaped, and have fiaring founces
with insertions and a lace edge. They
are charming to wear with some light
gowns and are comparatively inexpen-
sive.
Deep cream with red is always
good combination, and broad band of
heavy cream lace outlines the neck
and front of bright red silk waist
made by one of the leading tailors.
The bodice is cut low at the throat,
pointed slightly in the front, and this
broad band of lace encircles the neck
and extends down the center of the
front.

CABBY'S CLEVER DEVICE.
Had a Scheme for Attracting Pat.
rOnage That Was n Four
Time Winner.

The young man walked by the ham
som drawn up in front of an uptown
hotel, took a quick look at the Interior
of the vehicle, hesitated for a moment,
and walked on a few PAGES. He halted
on the |lge of the surb and seemed
to be considering some deep problem.
The driver perched ON the back of the
horizon in search Of a prospective fare,
says the New York Mail and Express.
The young man gulped down swell
ing in his throat and approached the
hanson from the rear. He took an
other glance at the interior of the
vehicle and asked nervously:
''How much to-er-the Grand Cen
trail depot?"
''Dollar n half" said cabby, with
due disregard to legal rates.
"All right. Go ahead, quick" said
the young man, clambering into the
hanson.
Arriving at the depot the young
man nervously thrust the fare into
ca5by's hand and disappeared in tie
big waiting room.
And cabby surveyed the interior of
the hanson and smiled. From one of
the cspacious pockets of his coat he
produced cheap wallet stuffed with
paper and bound by stout elastic.
This he deposited carefully upon the
seat in plain view of passersby.
That's the fourth sucker to-day"
he soliloquized, as he elambered to his
perch. Them pocketbooks cost me a
nickel apiece, an it's considerable
trouble to stuff 'em and make 'em look
natural-but they do bring trade.
