C. fi&anZan Phc Remedy RELIEVES WHEM OTHERS FAIL aw n RID DEATH IN TERRIBLE SHAPE One of the Most Horrible of All the Horrible Imaginings of Edgar Allan Poe. The wife of one of the most re spected citizens a lawyer of em inence and a member of congress was seized by a sudden and unaccount able illness which completely baffled the skill of her physicians. After much suffering she died, or was sup posed to die. For three days the body was preserved unburied, during which it acquired a stony rigidity. . The fu neral, in short, was hastened on ac count of the rapid advance of what was supposed to be decomposition. The lady was deposited in her fam ily vault, which for three years was undisturbed. At the expiration of this term it was opened for the reception of a sarcophagus; but, alas; "how fearful a shock awaited the husband, who personally threw open the door. As its portals swung outwardly back, some white appareled object fell rat tling within his arms. It was the skeleton of his wife in her yet un moldered shroud. A careful Investigation rendered it evident that she had revived within two days of her entombment, that her struggles within the coffin had caused it to fall from a ledge or shelf to the floor, where it was so broken as to permit her to escape. On the upper most steps which led down to the dread chamber was a large fragment of coffin, with which it seemed that she had endeavored to arrest attention by striking the iron door. While thus occupied, she probably swooned or possibly died through sheer terror; and in falling her shroud became en tangled In some iron work which pro jected interiorly. Thus she remained and thus she rotted erect. Edgar Al lan Poe. Did as He Was Told. Some years ago the Yankee schoon er Sally Ann, under command of Capt. Spooner, was beating up the Connecti cut river. Mr. Comstock, the mate, was at his station forward. According to his notion of things the schooner was getting a "leetle" too near cer tain mud flats which lay along the lar board shore, so aft he went to the cap tain and with his hat cocked on one side said: "Cap'n Spooner, you're getting a leetle too close to them flats. Hadn't ye better go about?" The captain glared at him. "Mr. Comstock, Jest you go for-ard and tend to your part of the skuner. I'll tend to mine." Mr. Comstock went for'ard in high dudgeon. "Boys," he bellowed out, "see that ar mud hook's all clear for lettin' go!" "Ay, ay, sir!" "Let go, then!" he roared. Down went the anchor, out rattled the chains, and like a flash the Sally Ann came luffing into the wind, and then brought up all standing. Mr. Comstock walked aft and touched his hat. "Well, cap'n, my part of the skuner is to anchor." Bluejacket. Governor Glassock, of West Vir ginia, while traveling through Ari zona noticed the dry, dusty appear ance of the country.

"The most merciless enemy I had for 20 years," declares Mrs. James Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., "was Dyspepsia. I suffered intensely after eating or drinking and could scarcely sleep.
