A DOUBLE RESURRECTION.

Each of the Generals Thought That
 the Other Was Dead.
 General Barlow of the Union army fell wounded and, 1t was thought, dy- ing during the first day of the battle of Gettysburg and within the Confederate lines. General Gordon, cantertng by, saw him and recognized him. Dis mounting, he approached the prostrate man and inquired what he could do for him.
 "I am dying" said Barlow. "Just reach into my coat pocket, draw out the letter you find there and read it to me. It is from my wife"
 Gordon read the letter.
 "Now, general" said Barlow, please destroy that letter. want you to noti- fly her-she Is in the town over yonder what has happened to me-"
 "I will" replied Gordon.
 He sent for Mrs. Barlow, giving her safe conduct through the southern lines. and then rode away. certain that Barlow's death was a question of only a few hours at most.
 But Barlow did not die. His wife came promptly and had him removed to the town of Gettysburg, where she nursed him so faithfully that he recov- cred.
 Many years passed until one night both generals were guests at a dinner in Washington. Some one brought them together and formally introduced them. Time had altered the personal appearance of both.
 Are you any relation to the General Barlow who was killed at Gettys- burg?" asked Gordon.
 "Yes; very near relation" an swered Barlow. with laugh. 'I am the very man who was killed. But I have been informed that a man named Gordon lost his life in battle later on. He saved my life at Gettysburg. Are you any kin to that man"
 "I am he." was the reply.
 Both heroes laughed as they gave each other a heartier handshake.- Pittsburg Dispatch.

Turner Go. has been we'll known throughout New England for over fifty years for the elegance and exclu- siveness of it's stock of interior decora- tions, and this sale affords an oppor- tunity to buy rich upholsteries and other artistic home decorations at less than the usual prices of ordinary goods.

GARDENS Or
IAZAR,

One of Their Greatest Charms Is the
 Apparent Lack of Cultivation.
 The garden of the AlcaZar is one garden composed of several, each open ing into the other by steps descending from a terrace or through arches in marble or living green.
 All the gardens are surrounded with wonderful hedges of myrtle. juniper or box. If the gardens of the AlcaZar should be stripped of all but their hedges, palm trees and magnOlias, they would still be most wonderful. In some places walls about eight feet in height separate the gardens, and against these walls are trained orange and peach trees, with tangle of jas mine and roses climbing among them as they will. In fact, the flowers grow in such careless and natural prOfusion and there is seemingly so little cultiva- tion that one might almost think the hoe of a gardener had not visited the place for q hundred years. This very carelessness was one of the greatest charms of the place and added to the effect of age that clung to everything. Modern gardeners world stand aghast at such apparent neglect.
 I recognized that the very lack of modern care was artistic and suitable and yet wondered, if the place were mine, whether I could forbear the use of shears, trowel and hoe. The hedges were trimmed. These, with some or ange trees growing in solid mass of green along some fifty feet of palace wall and reaching to the very roof, alone bore signs of the gardeners shears.
 The flower beds were of intricate. shapes, filled with tangled mass of flowers and always surrounded with box. And such box! My heart sank within me when I thought of the box in my garden at home, where not even a hundred mild winters and hundred rainy summers could give growth like the smallest of that at the Alcazar.
 The bouquet that is considered, in Se- vile as a model of beauty and elegance In shape like a pyramid, about four teen inches high, 1t was formed by fas- tening a magnolia bud to the top of smooth, round stick and then winding flowers tightly around the stick, each succeeding row becoming larger, so that at the bottom the bouquet was probably two feet around. It was a frequent sight to see two men carrying pole between them with from six to a dozen of these bouquets swinging, heads down, from the pole.-Scribner s.

CONSTIPATION CURED,
A Barrytown, N. Y., Mans Experi-
 ence with Cal.cura Solvent,
Dr. David Ksnnedy's Wonderful New Medicine Cured Him Promptly. Your Money Back h t Does Not Cure.

Constipation leads to worse. Often it is the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads to dangerous chronic disease. It should not be neglected, nor should it be tempor- arily relieved with drastic purgatives. Here is case in point:
 Mir. o. s. Osterhoudt, of Barrytown, N. r., was distressed with indigestion, chronic constipation and kidney trouble for four years. He tried many medicines without relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, Dr. Kennedy's sseU medicine, used it and began to improve rapidly. All of his old com- plaints have disappeared and he owes everything to Cal-cura Solvent.
 If your druggist does not have Cal-cura Solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company, Rondout, .Y.; but ask your druggist first. @1.0O bottle. Only one size.
 Guarantee: Your druggist will return your money if Cal-cura fails to cure, and The Calcura Company will pay the drug gist. Remember, Cal-cura Solvent cures 9s9S of all cases of Kidney, Bladder and Liver disorders.

Crops, Gixzards ana stomachs.

Insects are oddly constructed atoms of animated nature, as a rule, and it depends altogether on the species as to internal makeup. In bees the crop Is called the honey bag" Insects with mandibles usually have a modified form of the "gizzard" so typical in the common barnyard fowl. In some cases this miniature "gizzard" is a perfect wonder shop, it's inner surface being provided with pads covered with "horns" and "bristles" in great profu- sion. The grasshopper's "gizzard'' is lined with innumerable rows of teeth, very minute, of course, but well devel- Oped, true teeth, nevertheless. The same may be said of crickets and other insects of that ilk

Age of Mother Earth.

An eminent scientists estimate of the age of the world is mot so great as 4O,OOO,OOO years, possibly as little as 2O,OOO,OOO years, probably 3O,OOO,OOO years.' As not even the greatest sci entists have been able to find out with in 1O,OOOO0O or 15,OOO,OOO years how old Mother Earth is, it must be con fessed that she keeps the secret of her age quite as well as do her charming daughters. The scientists may at last come to the conclusion that, like the others. she is ''only as old as she looks. ."-Baltimore Sun.
