All ffe can do is giro advice.
Of course that's easy.
Bttt our advice Is really worth a little
mors to you than most people's, for we
offer to give you the first bottle of our
medicine free, if It fails to help you.
We could not afford to do this unless
our medicine was good. Such an offer,
on the wrong kind of medicine, would
put a merchant prince in the poor house.
Dr. Miles' Nervine, however, as years
of experience have proved, is a medi
cine that cures the sick.
i Those whom it cannot benefit—less
than one in ten thousand—we prefer to
refund their money.
All we ask of you is to try Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine for your complaint.
If you suffer from sleeplessness, nervous
exliaustlon. dizziness, headache, mus
cular twitchings. melancholy, loss of
memory, weak stomach, poor blood,
bilious troubles, epilepsy, St. Vitus'
Dance, etc., we will guarantee to benefit
you or refund your money.

GLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
Only One Pair Was Ever Made and
That Waa Very Small—Inter
esting Glove Lore.
A report comes from Copenha
gen that a great rat hunt has been
organized there, and that the
skins of many thousands of the
victims are to be used in making
gloves. If the rat hunters In the
Danish capital cherish any such
hopes, says the Pall Mall Gazette,
they are doomed to disappoint
ment.
Rat skins cannot be made into
gloves tit for commerce. The be
lief that a valuable raw material
is being neglected here survives
only in the minds of the inexpert.
The glove maker knows much
better. A Norwegian merchant
once came to England and in
formed a well known glove maker
that he had collected over 100,000
rat skins and was prepared to re
ceive offers for them. He was
fully convinced that the skins
were suitable for glove making.
But the manufacturer found that
the largest skin was only some
six inches long, and he held up a
kid skin for the smallest size of
gfove, a child’s, which was eight
inches long, and asked how he was
to cut such a glove out of a rat
skiu.
Then he took up the smallest
kid skin for a lady’s glove, 11 inch
es long, and when he asked bow
that was to be cut out of rat skin
the Norwegian merchant laughed
at the idea <and went away disap
pointed. The best offer he got
for those skins, which he had col
lected with so much care, was five
shillings a hundredweight from a
man who was vyilliug to boil them
down for glue.
A famous glove making firm has
a collection of curiosities relating
to the trade, e 1 one of them is
the largest pair of gloves ever
made out of a rat skin. The be
lief that such skins could be made
into gloves was laid before the
managers so confidently that they
resolved to put it to the trial, and
they ordered a number of skins of
the largest rats which could be
found in Grimsby. But the rat is
a fighting aninial, and bears the
marks of many battles on his
body, and it was found that the
skins, were so scarred and torn
f ll U f !t ti ll LI lA'lfK tll/A AA 4- TA-I /ACI+ /I ! ft l
culty that perfect pieces large
enough for the purpose could be
obtained. In the end, after ten
skins had been used, a pair of
glovps was cut and made, and
they are retained in the collection
to this day. But they are so small
that they would only fit the small
est of small hoys. Thus it was
shown that, however cheaply rat
skins might be obtained, they
would offer no advantage to the
glove maker. The rabbit skin is
equally useless for the purpose,
and humane people may also dis
miss from their minds the fear
that the skins of pet dogs are
made into gloves. The dog skin
glove of which we used to hear is
made of nothing but the skin of
the Cape goat.

Cuban Cave-Fishe*.
An interesting addition has re
! cently been made to the Natural
j History museum, South Kensing
ton, London, by the receipt of
specimens of some of the blind
; cave-fishes of Cuba. The special
interest of these fishes lies in the
fact that their alliance is with
salt water forms which exist in
the neighboring sea, and not with
fresh-water fishes, as is the case
with Amhlyopsis and its allies of
the great cave of Kentucky.
There can be little doubt that (he
Cuban caves in which the blind
fishes are found were formerly in
communication with the sea, and
that the ancestors of these fishes
; entered the caves from the adja
cent ocean.
Children Labeled for Traveling.
The practice of labeling chil
dren and sending them across the
! Atlantic, addressed as parcels,
would appear to be getting rather
general. A number of children so
labeled have passed through
Queenstown from time to time
lately. From the Dominion liner
New England, which has arrived
there from Boston, was landed a
little boy not quite nine years old.
j He was addressed to his uncle at
■ Kilkenny. He had traveled from
Chicago unaccompanied, and had
been transferred just as a parcel
would be by the various forward
ing companies through whose
i hands he passed.
