Curiosity. A few day ago the Wil
mington and Weldon Railroad, while dig
Sing a well, found a large piece of petri
fied wood. The well Is located on a high
piooo of ground which Is rtd clay for
about fifteen feet. After the strattem of
clay was passod a marl-bed was reached
and in this was lotind tbe log. It shows
distinctly the grain and several small
crarks or wlndshakes and was evidently
an oak tree. A specimon has been sent
to Professor Kerr. It must havo been
for several hundred yoars in the place
where it was found, and would never
have been discovered but lor the fact that
the Railroad neoded a well Just where it
laid.
How to Teach Boys. Teach your hoys

that 0110 good honost trade, woll mastered

Teach them that honesty Is the best pul

point your precept by tho f X imp 0 of

Buchu has long beon knowu as oue of tbe
most valuable medicines attainab'e in
corlain classos, such as dyspepsia, chronic
rhematism, dropsy "cutaneous alfoctions,
of the urinury organs. As a diuretic, it is
superior to almost any other medicine in
use, and the great care with which it is
prepared, tho absolute purity of the prep-
artaion,and the diligence used in the
selection of the crude material, have made
it known far and wide as a reliable and
otTective preparation, and 0110 that can
always be used with safety and benefit.
The great success of Helmbold's Buchu
