Got Into the Wrong Room.

During the excitement of physical examination of candidates for places on the police force recently in city hall, mild-mannered man wandered into the room and somehow got mixed up with the aspirants for places on the force. He was instructed to re- move his clothes partly, and in few minutes was hard at work with the other men in the room, raising dumb. bells, infating his chest and undergo ing general physical examination.
 "Run around the room," he was commanded, and, on trot, he made the circuit of the room dozen times. Almost out of breath, he stopped then, and inquired:
 Look at here, what else have I got to do to get my license?"
 "What licenseT queried the surgeon in surprise.
 "Why, my marriage license. That's what came in for" was the reply.
 Say" said the surgeon, you're in the wrong room. thought you want ed to be policeman. The License bu- reau is downstairs"
 The man was mute for moment and then said: 'T'd rather never mar " than take this examination again." Philadelphia Record.

Old Soldiers Story

Sonoma, Mich, June l3.-That eve n in actual warfare disease is more ter rible than bullets is the experience of Delos Hutchins of this place. Mir. Hutchins as Union Soldier saw three years of service under Butler Barke in the Louisiana swamps and as re. suit got crippled with Rheumatism so that his hands and feet got all twisted out of shape and how he suffered only a Rheumatic will ever know.
 For twenty I've years he was in mis- cry, then one lucky day his druggist advised him to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Of the result MT. Hutchins says:
 "The first two boxes did not help me much but got two more and be- fore got them used up was great deal better. I kept on taking them and now my pains are all gone and I feel better than I have in years. I know Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Rheumatism.

WORDS WITHOUT RHYME.

Some Difficulties tho Poets Cannot Overcome.
 In well known musical comedy the kingly poet of a mythical state makes 8 frantic demand on his subjects for rhyme with sarsaparilla. The question calls to mind the surprisingly few words there are in the comparatively harsh English tongue, with its plethora of consonants, for which there are no rhyming equivalents. Sarsaparilla as a manufactured nams is hardly fair example, but there are said to be only three familiar words of everyday speech which loom up ferociously be- fore the student of metrical possibili. ties. They are silver, month and car. pet. Of these silver alone remains ab- solutely unassailable, for Swinburne has in one of his poems word of Greek derivation which may be said at pinch to rhyme with month, and w. s. Gilbert of "Pinafore" and "Mi- kado" fame has in the "Bab Ballads" ingeniously conquered carpet as fol. lows:
 One day that Turk he sickened sore,
 Which threw him straight into sharp
 pet,
 He threw himself upon the floor,
 And rolled about his carpet.
 The same author has also establish ed a record in Patience" for rhyming unfamiliar words that look extremely formidable to the novice. The verse runs:
 When from the poets plinth,
 The amorous calocynth, etc., which, although 1t be very beautiful, is hardly intelligtble.
 But silver is still obstinate. and the young Musasn who ends his first line with that fatal word had better stick to blank verse.-Philadelphia Record

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con. dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which ie nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous services.
 We will give Ore Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall 8 Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. free.

There i nothing So kinylv a. kindness,
And not hing 50 10y al :iN truth.
, We get back our mctc we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right;

The bush for the robin and wren:
But always the path thar is narrow
And straight for the children OF men.

Though he that makes court ship to Glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile
But when from her heights he has won her
Alas. 1t is only to prove
That nothing's SO sacred honor.
And n"thinS'S so loyal as love.
We cannot make bargains for hli$scS

And sometimes. the thing our life misses
Helps more than the things which we get.

Whose winnings are less than his worth
For he who is honest is mobile.

A Remarkable Watch.

The descendants of Mary SetOun, one
of the four maids of honor to Mary
Queen of Scots. have i'll their possession
curious watch, which was given Lv
that queen tn her favOritc. The watch,
which ism the shape OF miniature skull,
is about two inches and half in diane
ter. 1t is supposed Ia have been pur-
chased by Mary herself when on a visit
to BloiS with her husband, the Dauphin
of France, as it has the name of cele.
bratcd Blois manufacturer engraved on
it
The entire skull is curiously engraved.
On the forehead there is a picture of
Death, with the usual scvthe and hour
glass and sand glass. He is depicted as
standing between palace and hovel,
to show that he is no rcspecter of per-
sons, and underneath is the familiar quo
tation from Horace. Pallida mors rquo
pulsat pede pauperum tabernas Re
gumque turres. At the back of the skull
Is another representation, this one being
ofTime devouring everything. Time also
carries a scythe, and beside him is the
emblem of eternity-the serpent with it's
tail in its mouth.
The upper section of the skull is divided
into two pictures. On one side is the cru.
citixion, with the Marys kneeling at the
foot of the cross, and on the other side
are Adam and Eve surrounded by ami
mails in the Garden of Eden
Below these pictures, running right
around the skull, there is an opcnwork
band, to allow the sound of the striking
of the watch to be heard. The opcnwork
is a series of designs cut to represent the
various emblems of the cruci6xion, such
as scourges, the cross, swords, spears,
the lantern used i'll the garden, and so
forth. All of the carvings have appropri-
ate Latin quotations.
by reversing the skull and holding the
upper part in the palm of the hand and
lifting the under jaw on its hinges the
watch may be opened, and on the plate
inside is a representation of the stable at
Bethlehem, with the shepherds and their
tlocks in the distance.
The works of the watch are in the
brains of the skull, the dial plate being
where the roof of the mouth would be in
a real skull This is of silver and gold,
with elaborate scrolls, while the hours
~
works are remarkably complete even to
a large silver bell with musical sound,
which holds the works in the skull when
the watch is closed
This curious old watch is still in per-
feet order and when wound every day
keeps accurate time. 1t is too large to be
worn and was probably intended for
desk or private altar. Kansas City

Knew How 1t Was Himself.

They had just been married, and were
on their way to Niagara Falls to spend
the honeymoon. The bride was indiffer-

resting on his shoulder. The bridegroom
was also perfectly satisfied openly to
squeeze her hand or cncirclc her waist
when the inclination seized him. A little
old man sat in front of them, and he
looked around and smiled at the happy
couple SO often that the young husband
finally said:
