The American Adder.

A full-grown adder may measure
two feet in length and about six inches
around the thickest part of its body.
It's movements are sluggish, and of
course the universal idea prevailing
among the natives of this country that
it is capable of transferring its head
from one extremity to the other once
every six months is due simply to su-
perstition. The fact is that the tan Of
this snake does not terminate in a
point as with ophidians generally, but
is stumpy and resembles the head so
much that it is difficult for an OBJ
server situated at distance of few
yards to distinguish the one from the
other, hence the story of its being two
headed, the fallacy of which no intelli-
gent observer could fail to detect

DlSFIGURING SKIN HUMOR.
Impossible to Get Employment, as
Face and Body Were Covered with
Sores-Cured by Cuticura.

"Since the year 1894 I have been
troubled with very bad case of &C.
zema which I have spent hundreds of
dollars trying to cafe, and I went to
the hospital, but they failed to cure
me, and it was getting worse all the
time.- Five weeks ago my wife bought
a box of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake of Cuticura Soap, and am
pleased to say that am now COM
pletely cured and well. 1t was i'm
possible for me to get employment,
as my face, head and body were COW

peared on the top Of my head, and 1t
had worked all the way around down
the back of my neck and around to my
throat, down my body and around the
hips. 1t itched so l would be obliged

LONG TRIP ON HORSEBACK.
Man Waeers He Can Visit All State
Capitals in Four Years.

hington.-William K. McBeth,
who started from Scottdale, Pa, to
visit all OF the state capitals of the
United States on horseback, arrived in
Washington the other day.
His trip is the result of wager OF
$4,000 McBeth is not allowed tc
buy or beg anything for the susie
nance of himself or his mount, but
must depend entirely for funds and
shelter upon the presentation of souve'
mir post cards which bear his picture
and information concerning his trip.
He is not allowed to offer them for
sale, but may present them and re-
ceive in compensation whatever peo'
pie may care to give him.
His average ride must be 2S miles
each day, and should he for any rea'
son fail to cover this distance, he
must make it up the following day, as
he has only four years in which to
complete his trip.
No consideration will be made for
delays of any kind Even should his
horse become disabled or die McBeth
must endeavor to fulfill his wager to
the best of his ability, as no allowance
whatever will be made for him.

suit, trimmed with maroon applique,
and was thought at f1rst to be one of
the presidents many western friends.

Annie Orchard Made Money.

The Dover Sunshine publishes an
interesting story of success in orchard
ing in that rich irrigated section Of
Benton county. Eleven years ago, ac-
cording to the editor, one of the pres
ent prominent citizens began making
a home. He had spent rs years as a
railroad man, and desired a change.
His little tract of six acres was set to
apple trees. There were but two va
rieties, the pippins and Spitzenbergs.
In three years the trees began bearing
fruit. At the end Of ten years the
total income from that orchard was
S9,952. The land originally cost $55
an acre, and an additional s45 an acre
for clearing and planting.-Seattle

CALLS MEDICINE POOR SCIENCE.
Prof. Schweninger, of Germany, At
tacks Present Methods.

Berlin.-Prof. Schweninger's new
book entitled "The Doctor" will cre-
ate tremendous sensation in medical
circles. 1t is his revenge for 20 years
OF ostracism by the faculty, which
never has forgiven his intimacy with
Bismarck.
The book embraces the entire duty
of a physician to humanity, more es-
pecially his patient. 1t is a terrible
indictment of conventional methods.
Schweninger SCOTS at medical science,
its empiricism, its working in the
dark, its claim to the name of a
science. The medical science of the
present will be ridiculed a hundred
years hence, just as the science of the
eighteenth century is ridiculed to-day,
he says.
The work of the physician, he holds,
is not science so much as art. Science
is obscure, deceptive; art is reliable,
naked, serene, true The physicians
of to-day make the transit of the pa
tient from sickness to health bitter by
their raw ignorance, their lack of tact,
of art. They cloud over the transit
from life to death.
Schweninger attacks the system of
giving medical men a university edu-
cation. They load themselves in uni
versities with ballast of no earthly
use, he asserts. They grow selfish,
pragmatical and frigid. They think
only of gain and learn where and how
they can turn their so-called science
to their own advantage or fame.

The stone was raised to the memory

BEER IN PLUes'HIs INVENTION.
Kansas Man Discovers Way to Evade
Prohibition Law.

Topeka, Kan.-Here is the real
dope, fresh out of the dreambook. The
fOndest hopes Of the man who loves
his pretzels and beer are being real
lied.
A Topeka man has discovered how
to make and sell beer without coming
into conflict with the prohibitory law,
and also without having to pay a
share of the profits to Uncle Sans in
ternal revenue collectors.
This is the age Of concentration and
putting things into small packages.
One can purchase tin of beef broth
for Is cents that will feed a whole
family for a week
But this extract of beer is the real
thing. 1t is put up in plugs about the
size of dimes worth of chewing to-
bacco. 1t has strong resemblance
in looks to the aforesaid plug.
One plug will make from four to
six gallons of the finest beer ever
turned out of brewery. 1t can all be
done at home-no middleman's profits,
no trouble, no revenue stamps, no
danger of having an custer suit filed
against your mayor.
One gets as much refreshment as
one pleases, and all in the home, No
need to go to Joint" or drug store,
or club, or to an express office. Just
buy a package of concentrated extract
of hops and malt, take it home, and
make your own beer, five gallons of it
"a whole keg of beer in one bunch as
big as a cake of soap.
