Here is one of those astonishing results made by Dr. E. F. Butterfield in five weeks’ treatment of P. Maine, a substan tial farmer of North Wilna, N. Y. Let him tell his own story: My Dear Doctor— When I came to you five weeks ago I had given up all hope of ever being well. My neighbors had all given me up as even beyond all hope of even relief. Some of them told me to try Dr. Butterfield. I had become very emaciated, was coughing a good deal and severe racking pains in my stomach, a good deal of sickness of stomach, urine scant and high colored, pain in back of head. On examination you did not say you could cure me, but that you could help me. After taking your remedies three weeks there has been a wonderful change; my appetite has become splendid, I sleep like a child, and, strange to say, my own neighbors did not know me. They would not believe such a marvelous change could be wrought in three weeks. I nave been splendid ever since. I have had one pull-back and that was when I ate a chicken pie dinner. Pros pects seem good that I shall obtain both health and strength. Refer anyone to me. Yours truly, P . M a i n e . North Wilna, N. Y ., March 14, 1900 TAKE NOTICE.

Not every Apache can get his fill of blood before sun up and his fill of mes cal before noon. Yet Coyote That Bites had managed to achieve both those de lightful ends, ami of all the happy sav ages on the Colorado desert he was the most riotously, tumultuously happy. With what keen delight he had drawn his sharp blade across the throats of Jose Sanchez and Ills wife after he had stolen Into their wagon in the gray dawn, and what thrills of joy shot through his breast when lie silenced the yells of their two little children with the butt end of their father's own rifle! And then, when he had taken what gold was in the Mexican’s bag, what mescal was in his demijohn, and had strapped Jose’s rather loose fitting car tridge belt about his sun brown belly, with what fierce pleasure he stole away from the scene of his blood)7 work and with the Mexican’s rifle on his shoul der had wandered far down the dry arroyo, sipping from the demijohn the stupefying juice of the agave from time to time until he felt that he was grow ing drowsy! Then he had dragged his uncertain way along until he had come to the railroad track. He stared stupidly at the bright steel rails and looked up at the humming wires in an awed sort of way. He would like to lie there be hind the rocks, he thought, until some one should come along the track and then try a shot at him with his newly acquired weapon. The demijohn was growing light, and the rifle was grow ing heavy. Well, it was getting toward noon and rather warm even for an People’s national Family Newspaper.

The humming of the wires Is a sooth ing sound, and no sooner had his head touched the earth than sleep took a mighty hold upon him and wiped out his realizing sense of joy, as sleep has a way of doing with everybody that has anything to be joyful for. And so he lay, with the rifle by his side and his unspeakably hideous face turned up toward the blue that arched the desert. It was quiet there and restful—no sound save the music of the wires. Stay; there were other sounds, but they :ame some time after Coyote That Bites had throivn himself upon the sand and gone off to the laud of Nod. They came faintly at first and mingled with the murmurlugs of the wires. Surely they were the voices of children. Had the red beast been awake he might have Imagined that they were the haunting voices of the wee Mexi can children whose blood he had so ruthlessly shod that morning, but he heard them not. They xvere very far from being ghostly voices anyw7ay, those tones that nowr piped forth so merrily as Dubs and Gay trudged down the line. They were walking to the scoop out along the roadbed, not on the track, for that was forbidden. There were other things that were forbidden, too, and one of them was straying so far away from the station, but Dubs was “taking good care” of his three-year-old sister, and in the pride of his six full years lie was equal to the care of half a dozen such as Gay. “ ’ F on'y had sum matches to build a fire w iv,” sighed Dubs, \I’d burn off vese prickles jus* like ve Injuns does.” “O-oli!” came suddenly from under Gay’s sunbonuet. “ Wot s dat?” “ W'y, it's a jug!\ And Dubs left the “ toonies” and started toward the pile of rocks where lay the Coyote’s demi john and where also lay the Coyote himself. The two trudged up the little slope, and Dubs grasped the handle of the demijohn, only to let it drop again and spring back quickly with Gay in his arms, for he had caught sight of the Coyote, and he was smitten with a sud den desire to go home. But he saw’ the Indian did not move, and so he suddenly became very brave. He w7as certainly sound asleep and no more to be feared than papa when he lay on the lounge in his midday repose. too. Dubs was quite sure lie w-as a “ worky” Injun, like the Yaquis, who shoveled and picked on the railroad, and so his mind became wholly at ease. The Coyote’s cartridge belt, which had been so loosely strapped, had fal len off and lay by his side. There were a hundred very interesting bits of brass sticking In it, and the children soon had these scattered all about in the sand by the snoring Coyote. In the scramble for her share of the innocent toys Gay let one of them drop, on the Coyote's leg. Perhaps ihe mescal’s in fluence was on the wane, for a big brown knee was thrust quickly up from the sand and a big brown hand clutch ed the ugly knife at the Coyote's side, but the hand foil and the noble red man snored on. Dubs tried on the cartridge belt and became an Indian, all but the indis* pensablc knife, and he concluded to borrow7 that from the sleeper, whose fingers had lost their grip on the buck- horn handle. “ It’s bigger* n mommic’s butcher knife, ain’t it. Gay?\ the young savage asked as lie grasped the handle of the devilish looking blade. “ Now, you ’tand over vere, and I’ll get ’ hind vis week, Veil you turn along, I’ll jump out and kill you.” Gay demurred. “ Oli, it’s on'y make b’leve, Vese kind 0’ Injuns don't kill nobody.” And he stuck a contemptuous finger toward the innocent Coyote. “ It's on’y 'Baches | 'at kills, an’ vey’s none yound here, mommie says. I’m a ' 1 ‘aclie, so you better look out.” It w’as a dubious sport for Gay, and when it came to the killing nnrt she Consumption la a disease of civilization.

So, after turning over and burying his hatchetlike face in the sand, he lay quiet again. When he had thus turned over, was brought into view the rifle, which had been concealed by his dirty blanket. Dubs eyed the weapon with covetous eyes. He could not withstand the temp tation of feeling It all over, standing it up on its butt aud trying to shoulder It, but this last feat he could hardly accomplish. Just wliat it was that kept his fingers off the hammer and trigger and prevented a sound that would surely have brought the Coyote to his feet with a yell, I am sure I can not tell, but Dubs played wdth that fascinating weapon nearly an hour, while Guy poured sand over the car tridges, hiding nearly all of them from view. By this time the sun’s rays were on the long slant, and the children were very hungry. By this time, too, the Apache was growing restless, for the mescal had nearly lost its grip upon him. A train thundering by, or. much less, a “sw ift” brushing against ids black foot, a spider dropping on Ids leg, or even a big fly buzzing at his car—any of these would have set his demon force into play again. But tlie children could not wait for such demonstrations as these, though why it did uot occur to Dubs that the Coyote’s ear needed tickling with a grease wood twig the Lord only knows. The wind was up, and the wires were murmuring louder than ever. The w-ec ones had sported in the black shadow's long enough—had played with the fangs of the deadly serpent until they were tired and their stomachs were empty. So they set off on a trot for home. Just as they turned the bend and came in sight of the low roof of the station a “dust devil” swept by the rocks where lay the Coyote That Bites. He jumped to his feet, grasped Ids empty sheath, gave a mad whoop and started about in feverish rage. There w'as his knife, half covered by the sand, and there w*as his rifle, far from his side. Here w'as the cartridge belt empty, aud all about him in the sand were countless little footprints. A bewildered look stole over his face, but it passed aw'ay wlieu his eyes rest ed on the empty demijohn. The ex pression that replaced it wras one of de moniacal ferocity, and the lust of slaughter lay heavily upon him. But the cartridges—wrhere were they? He saw Gay’s mound of sand and, kicking it, gave a grunt of delight to see the brazen capsules that were scattered right and left by his foot. lie picked them all up, grunting over each one. Filling the belt and grasping his rifle, he started off in the direction in wdiich the small footprints led. Like a bloodhound, he chased along the track. His eyes scanned the plain at every turn, and his breath was hot and strong. But When he turned the big curve and sawr the station he knew that he was late—too late—aud he gave a grunt of disgust and was off like the wind over a side trail that led toward the sunset. In the low roofed station house the mother crooned to tired little Gay, ly ing so soft and limp in her arms. She looked out over the desert, sawr the sun touching the tips of the solemn giant cacti with purple dots, saw* the prickly pear shrubs holding their grotesque arms above the great sweep of sand that ran down to the low horizon and felt the inspiration of the scene, as she had often felt it before, for the desert has a beauty that Is all its owfn. She knew that other women in the great cities and in the cool, green valleys might pity her in that desolate spot, but she felt that she needed not their pity. Dubs came and leaned Uls head against her arm w'here she sat, and lit tle Gay nestled dowm w'itlra tired sigh. Yes, there was much, she thought, for W’hich to be thankful. And In truth there was.

It began to thunder and lighten when I was about half way there, and the rain fell In sheets. I stopped under a big tree. I knew that wasn’t safe, but 1 thought I’d risk It. “ In a few minutes the lightning struck a tree about ft hundred feet jnvajr, and I fell down, either from the shock or from fright, I don’t know which to this day.

She hated the weed like poison. ‘What if I had been killed and that plug of tobacco found in my pocket?’ I thought. 1 think I had the worst fright right then that I ever had in my life.” “ Well?” “ Well, before the next flash came I took that plug out of my pocket and throw it ns far ns I could send it, nnd I have never chewed tobacco since.”— Youth’s Companion. Paradoxical as It may appear, the perfection of a gem is largely due to some imperfection in its make. Some little mistake made In the laboratory of nature produces a defective stone which is perfection itself from the lap idary’s point of view. Ninety-nine out of every hundred emeralds dug from the mine arc almost white and of little value, but tlie hundredth one is of a rich velvety green and, if without oth er flaws than its color, sells for $300 a carat or 240 times as much as its col orless brother. The reason of the rich color which gives the emerald its value is that nature, in making the stone, put in too much oxide of chromium, just as the cook sometimes gets too much sal- era! us in tlie biscuits. The standard of perfection in the laboratory of nature is the colorless emerald, and her deep green ones are some of her failures; failures which, nevertheless, delight mankind, however much they may dis gust nature. You could buy a ton of oxide of chromium for the price which, half a grain of it gives to a cheap and common crystal. When nature makes mistakes in man ufacturing diamonds, the results are equally remarkable. Her standard for a diamond is a pure white stone, but sometimes a foreign substance gets into the crucible, and the result is a rod or blue diamond. A fine white brilliant of one carat can be bought for $ 125 , but a blue stone of that size would be cheap at $ 3 , 500 . A red diamond is of even greater value, a red stone of fifteen grains having been sold for $ 5 , 000 . Y'et the little particle of foreign material which nature carelessly let fall Into the mixture when she was making that stone down in the heart of some prime val volcano Is of less value than a grain of common salt and only got there by mistake. Nature manufactures In her laborato ry a material called spinel. You can buy a block of spinel as large as yon can carry for a few dollars. Sometimes in making spinel small quantities of chromic acid get into the material and color it a deep red. The pieces so col ored nature rejects as spoiled In the making and throws them in the dust bin, from which men dig them out and call them rubles. A ruby of thirty-two carats recently sold for $ 52 , 000 . Yet the material of the cheap spinel and the valuable ruby are practically the same, save for that small fraction of chromic acid which got Into the ruby by mistake. When nature starts out to manufac ture opals, she endeavors to make them without any cracks in them. In this she seldom succeeds, coming nearest to perfection in tlie Mexican opals, which have few cracks in them aud therefore little luster. The fiery glow of the ori ental opal and the play of light in the depths of that exquisite stone are due entirely to the numberless cracks which seam the surface of the gem. It must give nature a poor opinion of mankind when she sees him selling the Mexican opals, which are nearly per fect, for 12 cents a carat and paying $25 a carat for her failures, the cracked tire opal of the vast. Not only in gems, but iu many other things, does nature make mistakes and failures, the results of which are high ly valued by man. The chunk shell, a •1 shell much like the couch shell of these shores, is one of the commonest shells on the beaches of India, and millions of them are gathered and burned for the lime that is in them. Yet iu a tem ple near Kandy, Ceylon, are two chauk shells which hold the place of honor in a shrine covered with gold, and no amount of money could buy them from their guardian priests. Their value consists in the fact that nature was not quite herself the morning she fabricat ed these shells and gave a right hand ed twist to them instead of a left hand ed one, such as has been given to all other chank shells, so far as man knows, since the beginning. Baron Rothschild once paid $300 a dozen for some Schloss Johanuisberg wine, aud it is admitted that, taking everything into consideration, it was not an exorbitant price. Yet the wine of the same year from the vineyard di rectly adjoining the Johannisberg vine yard, on the same bank of the Rhine, a vineyard whose soil Is, to all appear ances, the same, only brought $5 a dozen. And there is no special secret about the manufacture of Johannisberg wine or about the variety of grape used. Its great value comes from a little joke of nature. In the soil of the Johannisberg vineyard there is an Infinitesimal amount of a certain salt which is found in the soil of no other vineyard. The admixture is so slight that no chemist has ever been able to Imitate it, yet it is worth many thou sands a year to the owner of the vine yard. W h e n G o ld L o o k s G r e e n . Gold can be beaten out so thin that it allows light to puss through It, in which case, though it still appears brilliant yellow by reflected light, it Is green ns viewed by transmission—that is, by the light that passes through it. This curious effect can easily bo ob served by laying a piece of gold leaf upon a plate of glass and holding it be tween the eye and the light, when the gold will appear semitransparent and of a leek green color. mo % ■ Ui c '-V C'l otaiWK ciwt$ CATARRjj ar* 9 i iMEYS i l M I \ l \ fl f DANCERUUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED Peruna Creating a National Sensation in the Cure of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys, Mr. John Vance, of Hartford City, Ind.

The Cliabo Uiba, a dwarf Japanese pine tree, was recently sold for $1,200. It Is six feet high ami alleged to be 850 years old. It has long been supposed that the process by which Japanese gardeners succeeded in dwarfing forest trees was a long and costly one. It is now said that it is a simple process and that any one can do the trick. The fol lowing directions are given for produc ing a miniature oak tree: Take an orange and scoop out the pulp. Fill the interior with a rich mold and plant an acorn in the center of it. leaving the hole in the rfaid for it to sprout through. Put it in a sunny place and water it frequently. Soon after the first shoots have appeaued the roots begin to break through the orange skin. Take a sharp knife and shave these off carefully and keep them shaved. The tree will grow about five or six Inches high and then stop. In a year it will be a perfect miniature oak. When the roots cease to grow, the orange skin should he varnished over and imbed ded in a flowerpot. The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees and make them live to a great age*. Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo* Hiba, are well known, and their own ers have documentary evidence attest ing their great age. The older they are the more valuable, of course, they are. In Japan certain families follow the calling, trade, art, or what you will, of growing dwarf trees from genera tion to generation, aud you can buy a. miniature oak 500 years old from a de scendant of the man who first planted the acorn. Not only forest trees, but fruit trees and flowering shrubs, are- dwarfed by these clever gardeners.

In this way the muscles of the body work in conjunction with the lungs, aud no- energy is wasted. In salt water, which, of course, is more buoyant than fresh water, a man who has trained himself in this way should have no difficulty in keeping afloat, say he were shipwreck ed, until sheer weakness from hunger and thirst would force him to suc cumb.”—Philadelphia Record.

Their greatest pleasures are singing, (lancing and playing on the “ lmrmoiv ikn,” a musical instrument like a con certina; or on the “ballnilnikn,\ a na tional musical instrument something like a banjo, which will keep them amused for hours. If he can only play two or three tunes, Ivan Ivnnovltch will be able to enjoy himself rnptur* ously. Singing, however, is his greatest pleasure, and chorus singing Is n great feature in the Russian army's accom plishments. The number of songs an ordinary soldier knows is beyond be lief. Singing is encouraged by the of ficers, and the men with tlie best voices are specially rewarded. Among illit erate people the singer will always be able to exert a great influence. One has only to see a Russian regiment on tlie march to understand what moral power the singers can give the soldiers. Ivan Ivauovltch stands greatly In need of cheap forms of amusement, for he is wretchedly paid. lie Is the worst paid soldier in Europe, and therefore lias a very hard time during his four years of service unless Ids good folks at home are Inclined to be generous.
