knots, by which it annually advances
about an inch distant from the place
where the plant was first rooted. Every
year another knot is added, which drives
the plant further on, so that in twenty

The Dead Letter Museum.
Connected with the Dead Letter office
at Washington, says a letter to the New
York Telegram, is a museum of curiosi
ties received through the mail, and they
embrace articles of all grades, from a
gold encased miniature to a hand saw, a
honey bee or a horned frog. This old
miniature represents a gentleman and
lady of middle age, is painted in ivory
set in gold in the style of‘a century ago.
It has been for forty years in the office,
and despite its value men and women
come, and men and women go, but the
owner of the picture has never appeared
on the scene as yet. Further along in
this cabinet may. be seen a piece of
the floor of the room in which
Jesse James was shot, and which some
enterprising person had sent to a friend.
Above this, and with the upper lid partly
opened, so as to bring the contents pro-
vokingly near the observer, is a box of
choice raisins. Layer after layer; all
perfect and undisturbed. On the other
side of the museum, and evidently in
tended as a companion piece to the rais
ins, is a nice fruit cake. Then, in still
another cabinet, is a ghastly human skull.
In this cabinet, too, can be seen a box of
gold from California—gold in the rough,
and silver and cacti from Arizona. Then
above these Texas is represented by the
serpents she has sent, all received alive.
Some of them were sent in perforated tin
cans, and intended for a foreign mu
seum. But snakes were not “nominated
in the bond”—and were against postal
regulations—and so they rest here.
One of the greatest curiosities of the
dead letter office is not embraced in its
museum collection, but is shown in the
person of its oldest and most popular
colored, or parti-colored messenger.
She is rather a human curiosity.
Originally a very dark brown, she has
been growing white in some
spots until now she is known in Wash
ington as the “calico woman.” She
states ten years before a spot had made
its appearance on hands or face she
dreamed she saw one of her relatives
come in her room, and, after she re
moved her bonnet, so that her features
could be seen, she exclaimed, “Oh! Aunt
.Mary, you have got a calico face!” This
dream she holds as prophetic of what
she was to become.
There is still another curiosity con
nected with the office that must not be
overlooked in the museum collection,
and that is the record kept by Benjamin
Franklin when he was Continental post
master general. It embraces the years
from 1767 to 1778, and in the whole
eleven years there were only 375 valua
ble letters received. This volume is
yellow with age, but the writing is still
legible. It is regarded as one of the
most valuable possessions of the depart
ment
The Russian oil region covers an area
of over 14,000 square miles, with forty-
two oil wells in one district, over 100
in another and 400 in a third, while
there are still richer regions waiting to
be developed to produce still greater re
suits. One spouting well produces
2,000,000 gallons a day. The oil is
found in places at a depth of 100 feet,
ind no well has gone below 875 feet.
Cat hunting for the skins is regularly
carried on in Liverpool, and last year
1.500,000 are reported to have fallen
victims.
“We visited the celebrated floating
gardens,” writes a correspondent in
Mexico, “when a tract of vegetation
composed of reeds, water-plants and
bushes, interwoven and laced together,
becomes so dense that it will bear a
superstructure, strips of turf twenty
to thirty yards long by two yards wide
are cut from some suitable firm place,
floated to it down the canal and laid
upon it; this is repeated several times,
and thus an island is securely raised
two or three feet above the level of
the water, a little soil is spread, over it,
and it becomes a chinampa, or floating
garden, on which Indian corn, vege
tables and flowers are grown. The
gardens vary in size from 100 to 200
feet in length and from twenty to 100
in width, according to the nature of the
vegetation which supports them.
“To secure these gardens in. their
proper places long willow poles are
driven through them into the ground
below, where they soon take root. The
poles also throw out roots into the
beds of the floating gardens, and so-
hold them steady.
“VVe took a line of street cars and
were landed near an old Spanish
bridge, alongside of which we found a
number of miserable flat-boats covered
with awnings, with a seat on each side
covered with red calico. We held our
noses, as well as our breaths. Upon
leaving the city the canal is lined on
both sides with beautiful trees of the
species of the weeping willow, only
that they are quite tall. The City
Gate, or local custom house, is then
passed. Here are to be seen many
boats laden with lumber, firewood,
vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., wait
ing to pay toll. A large daily revalue
is derived from this source by the gov
ernment. The stalwart Indians swift
ly pole the boat up the stream for
about ten minutes more, and Santa
Anita is reached. This is an old In
dian village, which has undergone few
or no changes for the last 300 years,
if we except the public school for boys
and girls, and a small church. It is a
favorite pleasure resort for the inhab
itants of Mexico, especially during the
summer months, and is rendered doub
ly attractively by the numerous chi-
nampas or floating gardens found in its
vicinity, on which are grown in re
markable abundance vegetables of al
kinds and beautiful flowers, which are
sold for a mere trifle.
“The water in the canal was the
color of dish-water. At Santa Anita
we entered a narrow ditch just wide
enough for our boat. The little boy
who pulled the boat with a long pole
worked manfully. We passed by a
number of women washing clothes on
the banks, and using a flat stone as a
washboard. The gardens surprised
and pleased us. Here was a small
strip of land of, say, 20 feet wide by
100 deep, surrounded by water, pro
ducing the finest of onions, another
cabbages, another radishes, another
carrots, another flowers, and so on, for
at least a mile—a succession of the
best cultivated gardens I ever saw.
These Mexican Indians are the best
gardeners in the world aside from the
Germans. Their methods are rude,
but they know how to cultivate their
garden patches. On our return wt
met boat-loads of boys and girls sing
ing and laughing as they slowly glided
along. It was not a Venetian scene,
but it showed that the brown-shoul
dered, black-eyed Indian girl could
dream and talk of love.”
Beethoven’s Lock of Hair.
Beethoven took a keen delight in
practical joking. The wife of a piano
forte player and composer in Vienna
had such an ardent desire to possess a
lock of Beethoven’s hair that she in
duced her husband to ask a mutual
friend to endeavor to get the great
composer to gratify her wish. The
friend proved too fond of a practical
joke to be aloyal messenger. He per
suaded Beethoven to send her a lock
of coarse gray hair resembling his
own, but cut from another head—t
billy goat’s, and clipped from a billy
goat’s heard!
The lady, thinking she had the gen
uine article, was as proud as a peacock
but her joke was short-lived, for an
other friend, a party to the trick which
had been practiced, informed her ot
the deception.
The husband of the deluded and dis
tressed lady wrote an indignant lettei
to Beethoven, upbraiding him; and s
fairly was the composer shamed foi
the discourtesy and unkindness of the
jest in which he had joined that h
wrote a letter of apology to the ag
grie zed lady, enclosing a real lock o:
his hair, and thenceforth refused tin
visits of the instigator of such ungal
'ant practical joking.
Wonders Never Cease.
Prof. C. Donaldson, New Orleans, La.,
proprietor of Museums, who suffered
eighteen years with rheumatic pains,
states he has spent ten thousand dollars
to get cured. After trying doctors, fa
mous baths, electrict appliances and le-
gions of liniments without relief, he tried
St. Jacob’s Oil, which completely cured
him. Itis a wonderful remedy, he says,
and he has sold his crutches.
Girls look upon the engagement ring

“That Miss Jones is a nice-looking girl,
isn’t she?”
“Yes, and she’d be the belle of the town if
it wasn’t for one thing.”
“What’s that?”
“She has catarrh so bad it is unpleasant to
be near her. She has tried a dozen things
and nothing helps her. I am sorry, for I
like her, but that doesn’t make it any less
disagreeable for one to be around her.”
Now, if she had used Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, there would have been nothing of
the kind said, for it will cure catarrh every
time.

Thousands Hastened to their Graves/
By relying on testimonials written in vivid
glowing language of some miraculous cures
made by some largely puffed up doctor or
patent medicine has hastened thousands to
their graves; the readers having almost in
sane faith that the same miracle will be per
formed on them, that these testimonials men
tion, while theso called medicine is all the
time hastening them to their graves. Al
though we have
Thousands Upon Thousands!!!
of testimonials of the most wonderful cures,
voluntarily sent us, we do not publish them,
as they do not make the cures. It is our medi
cine, Hop Bitters, that make the cures. It
has never failed and never can. We will give
reference to any one for any disease similar
to their own if desired, or will refer to any
neighbor, as there is not a neighborhood in
the known world but can show its cures by
Hop Bitterrs.
A Losing Joke.
“A prominent physician of Pittsburg said
‘to a lady patient who was complaining of her
‘continued ill health, and of bis inability to
‘cure her, jokingly said: “Try Hop Bitters!”
‘The lady took it in earnest and used the Bit-
‘ters, from which she obtained permanent
‘health. She now laughed at the doctor for
‘his joke, but he is not so well pleasel withit,
‘as it cost him a good patient.
Fees of Doctors.
The foe of doctors at $3.00 a visit would
tax a tnan for a year, andjin need of a daily
visit, fiver $1,000 a year for moHibni nttor»rL
ance alone! And one single bottle of Hop
Bitters taken in time would save the $1,000
and all the year’s sickness.
Given up by the Doctors.
“Is is possible that Mr. Godfrey is up
and' at work, and cured by so simple a rente-
dyi”
“I assure you it is true that he is entirely
cured, and with nothing but Hop Bitters,and
only ten days ago his doctors gave him up and
said he must die, from Kidney and Liver
trouble!”
