Utterly Wretched
Nervous Prostration Long Endured
 Before Remedy was Found,

Miss Minerva Reminger, Upper Bern, Pa, writes: For several years I had nervous prostration, and was utterly wretched. l lived on bread and beef tea because my stomach would not re- tain anything else. 1 took many rem edies, but obtained no relief until I took Hoods Sarsaparilla, when began to gain at once. Am now cured"
 Pure, rich blood makes good, strong nerves, and this is why Hoods Sarsa- parilla, which purifies and enriches the blood, cures so many nervous diseases.

Tho Test of a Wedding Ceremony.

The Test of Wedding Ceremony.
 A certain young pastor was plan ming with young couple the steps in a marriage ceremony when the bride suddenly remarked, Don't you make me promise to obey him."
 "You ought to have some head to your family replied the minister.
 Then, turning to the groom, he asked, twill you promise to obey her?"
 'tNot much, I won'tP'
 What then? Do you expect me to tie you two together and leave you to fight 1t out afterwardT'
 Isn't that the way they generally do?"
 After moments thought the clergy man answered: q will tell you what will do. will use the same cere mony that was used at my wedding. Neither party promises to obey the other tn that and it has worked well in our case"
 q don't know" said the young man, sloubtfully gazing at the top of the minister's head. already becoming bald. elf it is going to work on my head as it has on yours I don't, believe that l want to try it."

The First Great Bank.

The first great bank in the world was the bank of Venice. established in 1157 when the queen city of the Adri- atic was the head of the commerce of the western world. At that time the great current Of the trade between Flu rope and Asia passed through the Per sian gulf and the Red sea to Alexan- dria, Egypt, and was carried in ships across the Mediterranean sea and through the Adriatic to Venice, wheHe 1t was distributed to various parts of Europe. Venice was a sort of auto cratic republic, founded and supported by it's merchants, who were famed throughout the world for their wealth and reliability. They founded their bank, which was guaranteed by the government and was held in high cred 1t in all the great cities on the routes of trade. The word ''bank'' was de- rived from the Italian word ''banco," a bench or counter over which the business was transacted.-Argonau

A Giant Amena pwarfs.

The intellect and genius of Franklin were perhaps never more manifest than when, as the colonial agent of Pennsylvania. he appeared before the British house of commons in order to undergo an inquisition into the taxa tion questions which were brewing g the trouble which subsequently result ed in American freedom. Not fewer than 300 questions were propounded to him by some of the acutest legal and political minds of the old coun- try. To each and every one of them he replied in masterful manner. Ed mund Burke in commenting on the matter said that Franklin reminded him of "a man being examined by a parcel of schoolboys," while Charles James Fox remarked that his inquisi- tors were ''dwarfs in the hand of a giant.''

4. .Iuckless WnrA-

Superstition dies hard, at least in the north of England. On Tyneside it is reckoned highly unIucky to hear or mention the word pig" and evil con- sequences can only be averted by touching cold iron. If that material is not at hand it's name must be uttered aloud as the next best thing.
 It is no uncommon thing to see a group of sailors or worknaen suddenly scatter to lay hold of iron railings, lampposts, etc. when by chance pig has slipped into their conversation.
 A stranger to the district was not long ago puzzled to see four little shoe blacks. sqllatted at game of cards on their blacking box, suddenly scram- ble to their feet, run to some iron posts several yards away, touch them and then return and resume their game quite unconcernedly. When he obtained an explanation his amusement equaIed his astonishment. The origin of the superstition seems to be unknown London Scraps.

cuItiuatina Ginoer.

Ginger is made matter of scientific culture in Jamaica. It is propagated by cutting up small pieces of the root, and, if possible, rich, cool soil from recently cleared woods is selected for 1t. It is a great 1mpoverisher of the soil and grows so luxuriantly that in short time little piece of root will spread so as to produce nearly pound of new roots. The sets are planted in March or April and get to their full growth about September. The roots are dug usually in Jamaica in January or February. They are washed, ex- posed to the sun until thoroughly dried and packed in parcels of about a hun dred pounds each. In order. to dry. them more rapidly they are first scala ed in a little copper pot in order to de stroy life, of which the roots are very tenacious. White ginger and black ginger are from the same roots, the difference arising from methods of curing. Roots for sugar preserving are dug while quite young, before the stems are more than five or six inches high.

A Shot That Made Trouble.

An odd incident happened in the then Danish West Indies in the last century that nearly caused serious in- ternational complications. An Ameri- can marksman, paying visit to Char lotte Ama1ia, amused the governor by an exhibition of his skill with the rife. Sitting on the veranda of the government house, he said that he could cut with a bullet the signal hal- yards on the flagstaff of the fort and lower the Danish standard to the ground. As the lines were almost tn- visible in the distance the governor was willing to bet that he could not do it. The shot rang out, and the flag fell. Presently horseman dashed up. in- forming the governor that some one had fired on the flag. There was great excitement. The governor, none too popular, it seems, with the military, ruined his political future by admit ting that the affair was a joke in which he connived. Report being sent to Copenhagen. highly colored. of course. by the commandant, his excel Iency was summarfly removed.

Huao and Merinea

It is probable that with the excep- tion of Byron no great literary genius ever was greeted with such a storm of vilifcatton and abuse as Victor Hugo when he published Les Miser- ables.' While the book took the pub lie literally off their feet, almost all Hugo's rivals united in condemning it and it's author.
 Prosper Merimee wrote in reference to a dinner given to Hugo at Brussels:
 Have you read Victor Hngo's speech at the dinner given to him by Belgian librarians and other scoun- drels of Brussels? His statements were without depth, solidity or com mon sense. He is a man who intoxi- cates himself with words and does not take the trouble to think.,'
 Victor Hugo retorted by writing to a friend, 'EM- Merimee is a man natu- rally vfle''

A Courier In Blue Flannel.

A fine yacht lay at anchor awaiting a favorable breeze for her mission Of pleasure. The crew idIed about the deck. and a happy group of guests was aft conversing pleasantly. In the group was a handsome mother. Her romping boy of five years broke from her hand. clambered to the rail, rolled over it and was whiried down the tide. The mothers shrieks reused dozing- iounging sailor, who at once compre- hended the situation and plunged aft CT the child. Others promptly manned a boat and soon 6verhauied the sailor. who was now swimming with the lit tie fellow in his grasp. As soon as they returned to the yachts deck the mother, with strea ming eyes, threw her arms around the neck of the drip ping reseuer and fervently exclaimed: 'fOh. oh, sir. how, how can I ever re- pay you? Name your own reward for giving back my son and saving me from a broken heartp'
 Then she pressed a half score of kisses on the tar's weather bronzed cheeks.

Uses Animals Make of Their Tails.

Uses Animals Make of Their Tails.
 Horses, cows and other creatures use their tails as fly fappers. Cats, squirrels and many more twist them around. their necks for comforters. The rat has raised the use of the tail to a fine art, for by it's means it guides the blind and steals jelly, oil and cream out of jars and bottles. The macaco plays as merrily with it's tail as a kitten does, and the marmoset while it sleeps uses its tail as a sort of blanket. The raecoon catches crabs with it's tail. Every one knows how the monkeys journey through painless forests by swinging from tree to tree, while the fishes steer their way through the water by their tail fins. The ant eater puts up it's big bushy tail for an umbrella. The vanity of the peacock is fed by the beauty of it's tail.-Dumb Animals.

Notwithstanding the rapid advance of exploration in various parts of the globe it is estimated that about 2O,- 00O,OO0 square miles of the earth's surface remain yet unexp1ored. The largest unexplored area is in Africa, 6.5OO,O00 miles, but even North Amer iea contains 100000 square miles of virgin territory. Most persons will be surprised to learn that there is three times as much land awaiting the foot of the pioneer in North America as in South America.-Chicago Tribune.
