Bays : “Being fully convinced of the gen
uine merit of Paracamph, I therefore
recommend it. For three weeks I suffer
ed with a severe Cold, the chest becoming
painfully sore. I bought a bottle of
Paracamph and before retiring rubbed
the throat and chest thoroughly and cov- ,
ered with absorbent cotton as directed.
One application gave me perfect relief,
the result being all the more astonishing ,
because it was least expected. Since then
I have had the privilege of seeing it used
in cases of cuts, bruises, etc., and in al
most every case the sufferer has been
afforded instant relief. It has been a
source of blessing and I therefore recom
mend it.
Paracamph is a cleati, safe home rem*
edy. Mothers will find it excellent for
quickly relieving Croup, Sore Throat,
Sore Chest, Sore Muscles, Neuralgia and
all forms of Swellings and Inflammations.
Paracamph is a combination of Camphor
and cooling, soothing, healing oils. Trial
size 26c ; family sizes 60c and $1.00. If
you have never used Paracamph we will
send vou a trial size free. Write to

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Hteheps on a British Battleship Thai
Caused Fear Anong
the Crew.
While the British battleship Thun
Jerar was off Milford Haven, Wales,
not long ago a curious accident to
one of her guns caused much alarm
among her crew. A target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechloading guns. When one was
fired by electricity only a portion of
the projectile was discharged, ths
base plate of the shot and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun.
When the plate was removed the prep
are of gas forced a portion of the
projectile from the breech of the gun.
Dn, the second gun being fired a hole
About three inches in diameter war
blown through the projectile, the
other part, of the base plate being left
behind. The base plate was in this
jase separated from the rest of the
projectile.
Such accidents are believed never
previously to have occurred on board
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting of the guns was for • time
T f *u anrrrrojiiitd f k a f ettke*
the powder in the projectiles was
damp or there was water In the guns.
Bo far as can be seen both gun# are
sound.
FINDS BOOK OF MORMON.
Illinois Farmer Makes the Claim Thai
Be Dr.# Up the Original
Manuscript.
Interest has been created at Carbon
dale, III., over a discovery made by
Marshal Penrod, who liven an a farm
near Dongola. Recently Penrod
grubbed a black oak stump out of a po
tato field close to his residence and
found a stone about a foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled s
poeketbook, attracted his attention,
and, upon close examination, he found
carved on its face In the English lan
guage the following worda: “This
stone contains the original manuscript
of Moroni (Mormon).—Joseph Smith.”
The ravages of time had apparently
made but little headway on the stone
and upon closer examination he found
the sioue was hollow and a hole drilled
entirely through it and at both end#
red cedar plugs had been driven in :
Upon removing one of the plugs several
sheets of parchment were found con
taining writing in hieroglyphics that
sould not be deciphered.
Islqa* Cosmetic.
The cashew nut serves a unique pur
pose as a cosmetic in the West Indies,
where women, desiring to remove the
excessive tan, anoint the skin with aa
•11 from the outer surface of the raw
ant. For two weeks the patient must
retire from society, for the face and
hands so treated turn black. At the end
of & fortnight's seclusion, however, the
woman who has undergone the cashew
treatment emerges, observers stats,
"with skin and oompUaloa as fair tm»
