A Qirrs Wild Midnight Ride. To warn people of a fearful forest fire in the Catskills a young girl rode horseback at midnight and saved many lives. Her deed was glorious but lives are often saved by Dr. King’s New Discovery in curing lung trouble, coughs and colds, which might have ended in consumption or pneumonia. “It cured me of a dreadful cough and lung disease,” writes W. R. Patterson, Wellington, Tex., “after four in our family had died with consumption, and I gained 87 pounds.” Nothing so sure and safe for all throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and $1,00.

G H«r Hair Saved Her, When th« steamer Tagus rose after dip Into an enormous wave while ■be was on her way from Bermuda to N«w York, a bride, the only bride on board, was floating about the deck like a biscuit The water was three feet deep and ah6 might have been swept from the deok had not M. Krelshlcr, a New Yorker, grabbed her by the hair and MTed her. So frightened was the TOOBg woman that she was carried to iUr stateroom In hysterics, and for |lh« hours she could not be convinced that the ship was not sinking. Although for two years past the Beef Trust officials have been persistent in declaring they had nothing to do with raising meat prices, the announcement by Swift and Co., of a surplus of $3,- 000,000 in addition to a 7 per cent, dividend shows that they at least knew how to profit by the rise. A Hero In A Lighthouse. For years J. S. Donahue, So. Haven, Mich., a civil war captain, as a light house keeper, averted awful wrecks, but a queer fact is, he might haye been a wreck, himself, if Electric Bitters had not prevented “They cured me of kidney trouble and chills,” he writes, “after I had taken other eo called cures for years, without benefit atd they also improved my sight Now at seventy, I am feeling fine.’* For dyspepsia, indigestion, all stomach, liver and kidney troubles, they’re without equal.

Author Compelled to Pose as Famous Soldier While the Latter Smoked Contentedly In His Private Car. Albert Bigelow Paine tells of the time when Mark Twain on his way to West Point to deliver an address found himself in the same train with General Sherman, who had been at tending a dinner In Hartford. **A pleasant incident followed, which Clemens himself used to relate. Gen. Sherman attended the banquet and Secretary of War Robert Lincoln. Next morning Clemens and Twichell were leaving for West Point, where they were to address the military stu dents, guests on the same special train on which Lincoln and Sherman had their private car. This car was at the end of the train, and when the two passengers reached the station Sherman and Lincoln were out on the rear platform addressing the multi tude. Clemens and Twichell went in and, taking seats, waited for them. “As the speakers finished the train s.tarted, but they still remained out' side, bowing and waving to the as> | sembled citizens, so that it was under * good headway before they came in. I Sherman came up to Clemens, who ' sat smoking unconcernedly. “‘Well,’ he said, ‘who toW you you could go in this cart* ‘"Nobody,' said Clemens. “ Tk) you expect to pay extra fareT asked Sherman. ** ‘No,’ said Clemens; ‘I ^n’t expect to pay any fare.’ “ ‘O, you don’t! Then you’ll work your way.’ *^Sherman took off his coat and mili tary hat and made Clemens put them on. “ ‘Now,’ said he, *whenever the train stops you get out on the platform and represent me and make a speech.’ “It was not long before the train stopped and Clemens, according to or ders, stepped out on the rear platform and bowed to the crowd. There was a cheer at the sight of his military uniform. Then the cheer waned, be came a murmur of xincertainty, fol lowed by an undertone of discussion. Presently somebody said: “‘Say, that ain’t Sherman; that’s Mark Twain,’ which brought another cheer. “Then Sherman had to come out, too, and the result was that both spoke. They kept this up at the dif ferent stations and sometimes Robert Lincoln came out with them, and when there was time all three spoke, much to the satisfaction of their audiences.” •—-Harper’s Weekly. Climate of California. *‘As each man steps his foot on shore,” wrote one adventurer of the period of the “Forty-Niners,” “h? sems to have entered a magic circle in which he Is under the Influence of ne\( impulses.” And, as additional testi mony to the extraordinarily stlmulat ing quality of the Californian air, Mr Henry Childs Merwin tells this d© lightful tale in his “Life of Bret Harte:” A popular flgure in the streets ol San Francisco was a black pony, the property of a constable, that stood most of the day, saddled and bridled in front of his master’s office. 'The pony’s favorite diversion was tc have his hoofs blacked and polished. Whenever a coin was placed between his lips he would carry it to a neigh boring bootblack, put first one foot and then the other on the foot reet and, after receiving a satisfactorj “shine,” walk gravely back to hh usual station. Even the dumb animals felt tlnat something unusual was expected ol them in California.—Youth’s Compan ion. Mebane M. E. Church South. Rev. B. T. Hurley, Pastor. N. H. Walker. Supt. S. S.

He finds in his body about two and a half dollars’ worth of fat; while of iron, so essential to I health and vigor, he discovers hardly j I enough to make a nail an inch long.

Ot phosphorus he finds enough to put the heads on two thousand two hundred matches, and there is magnesia enough to make a good fire works piece for the Fourth of July.

There is no Indian nation, and th« nations of India differ, not only In In- teresU, history and tradition, but they differ In regard to . race feeling, and there Is strong hatred and Jealousy be tween parts of India still. There la nothing that keeps the peace In India but British rule. Love and the Liner. A sentimental young lady from town was on the steamship quay, where she saw a youQg girl sitting on a trunk In an attitude of utter dejection and de spair. “Poor thing,” thought the romantic young lady, “she is probably alone and a stranger! Her pale cheeks and great, sad eyes tell of a broken heart and a yearning for sympathy.” She went over to the traveler to win her confidence. “Crossed in lovet” she asked sympar | thetically. "No,” replied the girl with a sigh, “crossed In the ‘Frolic,’ and an awful ly rough passage, toot” $100 Per Plate was paid at a banquet to Henry Clay, in New Orleans in 1842.
