‘ ‘ I have used. Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
immediate, relief. I have tried almost

II
vMr Hawkins is only one out of many
thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
removing the soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature’s plan.
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong
internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
refund your money. If your druggist don’t
handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
If he won’t do this send direct to us.
But don’t take any substitute because there
is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1.00 bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
much as the 25 cent size; thefi.oo bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.

IS LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
_
Charge Made Against the New Worn
sn—Considerations That Might 1
Lead Her to Admit It.
One of the charges that are
made against the “new woman” is
that she is less sympathetic than
is her sister who abides closely in
what is called “woman’s sphere,”
i saJ s the Portland Oregonian,
i Cat in the light of the above ar
raignment of sympathy as the vice
i that it not infrequently is, may
I not the “new woman” confess
i judgment upon this charge and
I strengthen her case and her posi
i tion by so doing? Woman has
i been called a ministering angel,
but would not a more practical
name better befit the women of
the twentieth century? Will
not the services of women to the
world be greater and of more en
during effect if they cast aside un
reasonable sympathy as a worn
out garment that discloses rather
than conceals the moral naked
ness of those about whom it is
cast, and substitute therefor the
armor of personal responsibility?
It has been said that there is a
woman behind the door of every
man’s success. “If there is,” says
the writer, “rest assured that she
isn’t a sympathetic woman whin
ing through the keyhole: ‘Give it
up if it’s hard,’ but a woman of
nerve and backbone who, like the
Spartan woman of old, is crying
out: ‘Come home with your
shield, or on it.’ ”
MOLLIFIED THE GRIZZLY.
Chief of Southern Utea Had an In
terview with a Bear at Close
Quarters.
“The most interesting story I
ever heard came from the lips of
old ‘Buckskin Charley,’ chief of
the sou*bern Utes,” said Mr. J. P.
Altberger, of Philadelphia, to a
Washington Post reporter.
“As told by a white man the
narrative is tame, indeed, lacking
the dramatic action and eloquence
of the red warrior. It was about a
meeting with a big grizzly bear in
the mountains of Colorado.
Charley was out looking for deer.
He was equipped with an old-fash
ioned, single-barrel, muzzle-load
ing rifle, which put him at a terri
ble disadvantage, when he was
suddenly confronted by one of the
biggest specimens of the grizzly
tribe he ever saw.
“ ‘I jumped behind big tree very
quick,’ he said, ‘and Mr. Bear came
close, rearing up on his hind legs.
I was scared to shoot, only hav
ing one barrel. Then I com
menced to talk. I said: “Mr. Bear,
I am your friend- I come out after
deer. I hope you go way and so I
kill deer and leave big piece of
meat for you.” Then the bear
seemed to get friendly, and he
dropped on his legs to the ground,
much as to say he’d like a piece
of deer, and then he run off into
the mountains.’ ”

Aunt Dinah Sings Two Verses of
Hymn for Soft Boiled and
Three for Hard.
Crooks are often accused of
want of method, but the Aunt
Dinah in Howard Paul’s new egg
story is not open to any such re
proach, says London Truth. In
variably when she put the eggs in
the saucepan she began singing
“Rock of Ages,” and sang through
two verses. “Aunt Dinah,” asked
Mr. Paul, “are there not three
verses in that hymn?” “Dar is,
massa, but I sings only two
when I wants ’em soft and three
; when I wants ’em hard.”
His other egg story is good, too.
He was traveling on a Pennsyl
vania railway, and when his
breakfast was brought the eggs
were underdone. “What time are
we making on this train?” he
asked the waiter. “A mile a min
ute, sir.” “Then boil the eggs
another mile and they’ll be quite
right.”

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL.
Historic Ground on Which the Youn|
Men of Louisiana Receive
Their Training.
The Louisiana state university and
agricultural and mechanical college is
known as the military college of the
south, says the Baltimore Sun. It is lo
cated at Baton Rouge, and numbers
among its graduates many men who are
now officers in the regular army. Gen.
W. T. Sherman was the first president
of the institution before the civil war,
and, notwitstanding his espousal of the
northern cause, his memory is still rev
ered at this scene of his former labors,
and his life-size portrait in oils occupies
a prominent place in the handsome as
sembly hall of the college.
The site of the university is historic
ground. It was for many years a mil
itary post, and the garrisons of France,
England, Spain and the United States
have all at different periods occupied
it. After it was abandoned for military
purposes it was turned over to the state
of Louisiana for purposes of education.
The original buildings, however, still
stand, and, with the flag floating over
them, present a striking and beautiful
appearance.
Here, in 1779, Galves, the Spanish gov
ernor general of Louisiana, after an en
gagement that lasted for three days, cap
tured the British garrison. The Span
iards were in turn driven out by a party
of Americans, and this marked the
passing of west Florida from the do
main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder
ates captured the post, and the next year
a desperate battle, involving both land
and sea forces, was fought near by,
and the confederate ram Arkansas was
blown up in the view of the land bat
teries.
Many distinguished officers served
here while it was still a military post.
Among those whose names are associ
ated with the place are Wilkinson and
lUO ill at vv ouc nauiyiuu, muuwu otuw
and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and
8tonewall Jackson, McClellan and Joe
Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet.
Harney, Thomas and Beauregard, For
rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and
Hood, Hancock and Custer, Admiral
Porter and “Bishop” Gen. Polk. Among
the great civilians we recall the names
of Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun'
and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly
a place elsewhere in the south so rich
in historic associations.
The university is true to its traditions.
The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in
heritance, and while they revere the
cause for which their fathers fought, no
northern boys are to-day more loyal to
the flag which is lowered at sunset every
evening to the well-known strains of
retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca
dets stands on parade at attention.
Everything about the university is con
ducted on military lines, and by means
of frequent inspections a proper system
of discipline is constantly maintained.
CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
Tke Scribbling Microbe Never Leaves
One After It Gaina a
Lodging.
"The habit of writing is a curious
habit and one which may not be out
grown,” said an old scribbler, in the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. “It
seems to be born in the blood. It is a
part of the nature of some men to write
things. Early in life they begin to yield
to an inclination to jot things down; to
! scribble off a few thoughts at idle mo
; ments, and between times, as it were;
to versify a bit; to philosophize; to put
down maxims and axioms, and to scrawl
a thousand and one little nothings
which appeal to the fancy from time to
time. Once acquire the habit and it la
thine for aye. No amount of change in
life's course; no upheavals of fortune,
no sudden shifts of fate and destiny; no
nothing that may come with the fleet
ing years will ever once break the mind
from the bent which prompts it to trace
in the queer curling symbols which roll
out from the pencil’s point the little
I playful nothings about which the soul
la wont to dream.
“Dainty, delicate children are these
mue vagrants wnicn one luiy scrawis
into existence between times. Often
they are bright, deep, subtle and of the
verities; sometimes mey are morose,
gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feeds
the soul of the hungry pessimists; some
■ times as light and airy as the very foam
1 which bursts laughingly around the
ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light,
or profound, whether gay or sad, these
things of mental loafing, these little
pet nothings of mental vagabondage,
are scintillants which cheer and amuse
a fellow as he hurries on from one mile
post to another. Ah, for the habit of
writing! It pays when the bank fails
—pays in the sweet consolation one may
know from close communion with one’s
own soul, for man hath not known his
soul until it glare at him in such cheap
symbols as he may employ in efforts,
always short of weight, to speak its
weighty sentiments.’'
A Tall One.
An American in Paris wasi one day
looking at the Eiffel tower, when he
was accosted by an enthusiastic French
man with: “Ah! my friend, that is a
beautiful tower, and I doubt very much
whether you have anything to beat it
in America.”
“Wal, stranger,” replied the Amer
ican. ‘I guess it’s good for France, but
In America we have a tower so high
that we have to lower the top at night.”
“Lower the top at night?” replied the
Frenchman. “For what reason?”
“Wal, I guess it is just to let the moon
pass, stranger. Good-day.”—London

FORTUNE IN PORPOISES.
Mmkj of the White Cetacean* Flo*
•neat the Gulf of St. Uwreaee,
and Are Valuable.
American tourists crossing the St
Lawrence from the mouth of the Sague
nay can almost always enjoy thej sight of
a number of porpoises disporting them
selves upon the water in the neighbor
hood of Tadouss&c, says the New York
Sun. The great white cetaceans appear
like shapeless masses of blubber as their
arched backs show from time to time
above the surface. They are doubtless
attracted to the mouth of the Saguenay
by the large number of salmon which en
ter the river throughout the season.
A large Industry Is expected soon to
spring up In various parts of the Gulf of
St Lawrence In connection with the
hunting of porpoises. It has already
been attempted upon a small scale, but
the difficulty of capturing any great
number of the animals has stood in the
way of success Now the difficulty has
been overcome through the observations
and experiments of Campbell McNab,a
Canadian hunter, who has spent many
years In the study of thaoe animals
The adult porpoise of the St. Lawrence
and the North Atlantic ocean is from
12 to 18 feet In length. It somewhat re
sembles a dolphin In shape, with large
dorsal fln and a mouth armed with many
strong and sharp teeth. Each porpoise
is believed to eat from one to three bar
rels of fish a day, so that it Is difficult
to estimate the frightful ravages which
they make among the salmon, the her
ring and the cod. They are largely gre
garious, though they often hunt their
prey In couples. Mr. McNab has often
peered over the edge of an overhanging
rock to watch them catch salmon at the
mouth of a stream and sometimes a long
distance up a river, where they follow
their prey. They chase a salmon Into a
shallow and then two approach It from
either side. The salmon appears un
able to move, as If paralyzed with fear.
u ne attempts to rusn irom one oi ms
pursuers he falls Into the open mouth of
the other.
The porpoise 1b equally expert In fish
ing for the slippery eel. Mr. McNab
opened one of these animals the other
day and found more than 40 eels in its
stomach. To prevent their wriggling,
and to aid digestion, the porpoise cracks
the skull of the eel between its teeth be
fore swallowing it.
Like the eel, the porpoise can live a
long time out of the water. In fact, it is
virtually amphibious. Some time ago
Mr. McNab shot a number of the ani
mals which had been hauled ashore and
bound together by their tails. After
skinning another lot at some distance
and taking out the blubber, he turned a
few days later to the lot which had been
last shot. Unknown to him one had not
been killed outright. As he passed In
front of it it growled at him “like a dog."
he says, and opened its jaws to snap him.
The porpoises are captured by being
Imprisoned at low tide on the shoals,
over which they have journeyed when
the tide was high, in pursuit of their
prey. Hitherto the difficulty has been to
find any barrier strong enough to retain
such enormously strong, heavy beasts,
and so many of them together as are
Sometimes enclosed. Mr. McNab has
made the Interesting discovery that tha
enormous nets through which they often
broke are not necessary to hold back
the brutes. They are unable to stand the
Slightest vibration in the water, and so
all that the hunter now finds necessary is
to fasten a long thin pole like a fishing
rod to a stake in the mouth of tha
stream, the bay or the estuary within
which It is desired to retain the por
poises. They remain to be stranded and
killed upon the shallows rather than ven
ture past the vibrating rod.
This sensitiveness is believed to have
Ns seat in the ear of the animal, which
has so small an opening that it might
almost have been made with a pin. For
years McNab has held firmly to this
theory, only to be laughed at for his
pains. He has now proved it beyond
peradventure, and has reaped the fruit
of his persistence. At one tide the other
day he secured 69 of the animals on the
rhoals of the Portneuf river a few miles
below Tadoussac, and next year will
. • _ XI__ . 1 •
pursue upciaituuo upvu
scale. He has secured a nine year lease
pf the shoal from the government and
has apparently a fortune within easy
reach. The skin and oil from a single
porpoise are worth from $30 to $50.
The utmost caution has to be taken
not to drive the animal? away from their
haunts. If any of the blood or refuse oi
their dead is permitted to reach the wa
ter. Mr. McNab declares, they will dc
sert the place entirely. This Is the ex
planation he gives of the present absence
of porpoises from the River Ouelle and
other places on the banks of the St. Law
rence, where a few years ago many of
them were annually killed. The por
poise, he says, Is one of the most Inteill
feat animals created.

These boats are tossed about by the

THE AMUSEHIEHT WONDER
THE WORLD’S FAIR PIKE.
Dnnnavant tc Williams’ Marvelous In

Imagination and Realism—The One
Unique Feature In a Mile of Shows—
Remarkable Journey awaits World’a
Fair Visitors.
In the history of World’s Expositions,
perhaps In no division does the publlo de
mand greater progress than In Its amusement
features, and that this has been the para
mount and successful endeavor of Dnnnavant
A Williams, Inventors and builders of Under
and Over the Sea, one needs hot take pas
sage and be oonvinoed.
In this great production on the Pika,
scientists, Inventors, artists, mechanics
and electricians have vied With each other
toward a common goal, “ originality.”
Neither time nor money haa been spared,
and the public demands have been met and
exceeded, in the full realization of a sub
marine voyage to Paris, and return by air
ship, Can you Imagine the sensations of
such a trip? No; then embark with mel The
hatchway through which we have entered
this monster Iron fish is hermetically sealed;
our 498 fellow passengers (the capacity of our
boat Is 500) comfortably seated; the captain,
by a secret code of signals, Issues his com
mands; the well-trained crew make ready
for our novel journey; the huge hull of the
submarine monster quivers gently, and then
gradually but surely we feel our strange craft
sinking, sinking down to the lowest beds
of the ocean. Prom the powerful electrio
search lamps, suddenly, light breaks at each
side of the cabin, through the two oblong
crystal plates, separating us from the sea.
The obscurity of the cabin shows to advan
tage the brightness outside, and what a
spectacle is revealed to our bewildered
vision—flowers, fungi, polypi, plants, shells
and rock, a veritable kaleidoscope of green,
yellow, orange, violet and blue. With ex
cited exclamations of wonder and admiration
we gaze through the crystal plartes, at the
aquatio army surrounding us. The boat’s
manometer Indicates our depth now—X,040
fathoms below the surface—and our captain,
a careful, brave and experienced submarine
skipper? skillfully manipulating the eleotrlo
swltohboard at which he standS-selways and
ever alert to the dangers of the deep—stops
our downward course and points his vessel
straight ahead; the pressure of an electrio
button Is simultaneous with a convulsive threb
as the mighty engine responds, the giant pro
peller churns the sea Into a foaming fnry and
with a leap and bound, as of a frightened
thing of life, we plunge forward through the
transparent watery mass to explore the un
known depths.
The denizens of the sea startled into an
activity they have Beldom known, so engross
our attention, the approach of a mammoth
narwhale or unicorn of the sea Is quite unnoticed
until almost upon us. The at first startled pas

There is no danger; our armament has been
well looked to in the emergency of attack,
but as the monster fish playfully circles
around us*, strangely familiar and pleasant
sounds fall upon our ears; presently the mas
sive Jaws of our friendly inclined escort open
and reveal a seml-earthly being, contentedly
seated on Its monster green tongue, and in s
fine basso voice is singing the lay of the deep
blue sea; the torpedo-like velocity of our
craft, however, soon leaves the serenader,
far in our wake, the echoes of this presum
ably Jonah’s voice, have hardly died away,
when fart ahead and immediately in our
course is seen the mermaid’s play-ground,
various kinds of Isis, clusters of pure tuft
coral, and prickly fungi form a beautiful gar
den on the ocean’s bed; a shoal of mermaids
appear to our now thoroughly delighted
visions, the delicately tinted gold and silver
be-scaled bodies gracefully bounding over,
under and around the boat, as if imbued with
earthly vanity, they would rival each other’*
brightness.
With never-ending and tireless energy, onr
great speed undlmlnlshed, we rush madly on;
our goal is soon at hand; the pumps are set
in motion—the water drawn from the tanka.
Our now buoyant vessel speedily finds the
surface, and the thrilling subterranean pas
sage has ended. Disembarking, we are
guided to the base of Eiffel Tower; immense
elevators take us to its summit, where a mas
sive airship restlessly tugging at its moor
ing awaits to carry as back over land and
sea. All aboard I Cast anchor; and the bird
like wings moving up and down, the flight
through space has commenced. Paris soon
fades from view as with the speed of light we
rush along the pathless wastes; meteors,
comets, beasts of the Jair, and lightning
storms are encountered, but undismayed is
the captain of this weird craft, and emerging
from a bank of clouds, our astonished and
bewildered senses are now completely dazed
at the vision that greets our eyes—the W orld’a
Fair is spread out immediately below us;
gently the airship descends and discharges
her precious cargo of mystified and delighted
passengers at the Pike landing dock, we have
enjoyed a marvelous experience and come
pleted our trip, under and over the sea.
