Barnum's description of the presen-
tation of Tom Thump to Queen Vic
toria was very interesting. On leav'
ing her reception room the visitors
were cautioned against turning their
backs to the queen, and SO they had
to back out of her presence. Barnum
said was the only time in his. life
when he ever backed out OF any en-
gagement. Tom Thumb, while back
ing OUT. found he was getting left,
and turning to catch up with his COM
panions, and then commenced back

her majesty.

making his museum attractive and in

in the Gulf of st. Lawrence, and

lived a couple of months. Two
more were caught and put in their

NOWOVERCOME
BY MIXTURE
Anyone Can Mix This Pre-
scription Which Is Said
to Relieve.

Recent hospital reports show that
the dread disease, rheumatism is
steadily increasing throughout the
country. All known means of RELIEF
are being. suggested to save the great
amount of suffering this winter, es-
pecially among those who are not in
position to pack up and visit the
noted health resorts to be treated.
Recent tests prove rheumatism not
exactly a disease in itself, but Sc
we're symptom of kidney trouble, a
condition caused by cIogged up pores
OF the eliminative tissues in the kid
neys which fail to filter the poison
Gus waste matter and uric acid from
the blood, permitting these substan-
ceS to remain in the veins and de-
compose, usually settling about the
joints and muscles, causing the in
tense pain, swelling and stiffness of
rheumatism.
A wellknown specialist, who has
probably treated more cases of rheu-
matism than anyone else, and who is
also the most successful, gives the
following simple treatment, which is
harmless and inexpensive, and so
simple that anybody can mix it at
home:
The ingredients are: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Go to any
good prescription pharmacy and get
these three vegetable ingredients and
mix them by shaking in bottle, TAX
ing as dose teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
There is nothing better in the
world for backache, kidney and blad-
der trouble, too. Such symptoms as
frequent and painful urination, sore
ness. weakness, general and nervous
debility are caused by certain acids
and poisonous waste matter, decayed
tissue, ETC.. in the blood, which the
kidneys will clear and purify after
few doses of ILLS prescription. =

RUDDER FOR BALLOONS.

Paris correspondent of the New York

rudder can be used to send the balloon

Its use VIII be attended with great
economy of gas, so that the airship
can continue on Its journey for a prac-
tically unlimited period.
Ballast hitherto has always given rise
to serious complications. To maintain
anything like stable equilibrium in
the air constant manipulation of gas
and sand has been necessary. When a
voyage of any length has been under
taken vast quantities OF ballast have
been used. II the sun has heated the
balloon, causing the gas to expand. it
has been necessary to open the valve
Then if the balloon has fallen too rap
