A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

In the year 1899, Charles Best of Pol
lock, Pa, was accidentally shot in the leg
near the ankle. Six inches of the smaller
bone was removed from the leg, leaving
him in serious condition. Two doctors
insisted on amputating the leg. Mr..
Best said: mo, l will try ASlATIC
BALSAM first" Three bottles healed
the wound entirely in two weeks time.
ASIATIC BALSAM is the wonder OF the
age for healing Cuts, Burns, Scalds and
Frost. bites and has stood the test for 30
years. Try 1t for Muscular Soreness or
Stiffened Joints on man or beast; for
horses Sore Shoulders, Sore Backs,
Kicks or Cuts. Progressive Liverymen
and farmers keep Asiatic Bslsam on hand
for the many injuries their stock is liable
to. 1t never fails. Try 1t and be con-
vinced.
MIR. J. l.. Findley, proprietor OF the
Ford City, Pa, livery stables, says under
date of 1899: ave had lame horse be.
come entirely useless. We tried every
thing under the sun to cure this lameness
and failed; we considered the horse
total loss. WeisLe'ds Asiatic Balsam was
recommended to us. After using a short
time all lameness disappeared and the
horse was entirely well. consider it
my duty to recommend Asistic Balssm to
all horse owners"
MIR. II. T. Farley, livery and sales
stable owner. OF Kittsnning, Pa, says:
"After giving your Asiatic Balsam trial

Bruises have over used One of my
men while clppinga horse bad his lip
cut entirely through. We applied the
Balsam which healed the cut almost i'm.
medistely. One of my horses received q
deep cut on his leg, lameing him badly,
A few applications of your Balssm re-
moved the lameness and healed the cut in
very short time"
Mr.. +. X. Weaver, of West Penn Jnnc-
ton, writes under date of Jan. /, 1899:
Il have used Asiatlc Balsam for years
aud II is the best remedy for cuts, burns
and bruises known. 1t is healing, reliev-

The Queens Coachman.

There is one person, or rather per-

part in the coronation, and he is the
driver &C the state coach. A kings
coachman is usually aware of the
dignity which surrounds his flee.
CentGinly the coachman to he. late
Majesty Queen Victoria had no mean
misgivings on that score. AT the 1884
jubilee this functionary was asked if
he was driving any of the royal and
imperial guests who were at that
time quartered in Buckingham Palace.
No, sir" was the crushing reply.

Snakes Driven by Fire.

People residing in the Pine Creek
Valley. which is contiguous to the
wild lard districts that were burned
over recently, report a terrific influx
of snakes driven into the valley by
the gre area of fire that ran over

The rattlesnakes are taking refuge
in outbuildings, chicken pens and the

Regular Habits,

1t is good plan to have a regular
time for reading. One accomplishes
so much more in this way, and be-
sides establishes a kind of intellectual
habit that is good thing in itself.
In an hour, or even half an hour given
regularly each day to reading, a great
deal may be accomplished. Do not
confine your self to serious books. Al
ternate light with heavy reading and
do not attempt heavy reading when
you are tired, Do not read merely to
be amused. Treat your books as
friends. Do not follow blindly the
teachings of any book.

He stated that Roosevelt had in effect the Square deal" Of which he prates so much.

THE TiTANlc's EQUIPMENT

This paper has been in re- ceipt of several queries as to what was the actual life saw ing equipment on board the Titanic at the time she was wrecked. We can give those of the Olympic, only. Figures for the Titanic are not avail able, but as the ships are al- most identical in size, it is not likely that their equipment materially differs.
 The Olympic has IS life- boats and four rafts calculated to accommodate i,t7i persons This means about one- third of the total number of passenger and crew together, which is 3,447, can be accommodated It is said at the bureau that no ship is required to have suf- ficieht boat room to accommo- date all it's complete passen- ger and crew list.
 The Olympic carries 3,445 life preservers and 48 life bouys, and these equipments are made in compliance with the regulations of the British board. The bureau has no power except to see that each ship meets the requirments of it's home government.
