By Paracamph.
MrE. L Hawkins, 123 West 27th
St., New York City, Says:
“I have used Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
immediate, relief. I have tried almost
every preparation that is now before the
a public, and find that Paracamph is with
out question the best remedy for Rheu
matism. I wish you success and heartily
recommed Paracamph ”
Mr 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 thi*» 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; the $1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.

DOO COMMITTED SUICIDE
Tkli Spaniel Could Not Stand Bnllp»
ins ot Kennel Mate, It Is Thought,
So Knds Life with Gas.
Mig, a pet spaniel owned by Lafay
: ette Heidell, of Rochester, N. Y., is
dead, and the manner of his shuffling
! oft establishes a precedent in dogdom.
He died by asphyxiation, and whether
the case is one of suicide or murder is
! puzzling the disconsolate owner.
In company with a bull pup Mig oc
; cupied comfortable quarters in Mr.
Heidell’s home for several years, and
1 his lot was happy, far beyond that oi
the ordinary dog. If his end was in
‘ duced by his own devices the cause for
the act is hard to trace. Motive for
j the murderous deed on the part of the
bull pup is equally difficult to find.
Therefore mystery surrounds the lam
entable case. But Mig is certainly
■ dead.
j Mr. Heidell was awakened one nighl
recently by a nauseating odor of gas.
Being familiar with the use of gae
jets, he was convinced that he had nol
blown out the gas before retiring, sc
he searched the premises to dlscovei
j the leak.
] The cause of the trouble was found
[ in the kitchen, where the gas rang*
wae discharging its fuel from an opei
pipe. Near the range were stretched
j the two dogs. Evidently they had be
| come restless and in moving arounc
I the stove had opened the stop-cock
| Both had been overcome, and Mig hac
! passed away to the dogs’ paradise
After some trouble the bull pup wai
revived and is still in the ring, thougt
weak.
Persons acquainted with Mlg’s diS'
position are inclined to bell we that
long suffering from the pup’* bullyini
abuse, he sacrificed bis life U a spiri

Catbirds Defeat Blackaaake.

snake bent on devouring the content
of their nest. At first the snake was in

as they fought to drive It away, but thi
blows of tbelr wings and bills became si
annoying that the thief had to seel

Ptelat of a Host Who Sees How Qli
Patroni Dltrtcard Decency
and Destroy Property.
In all the big hotels of New York there
are rooms that the guests never see or
hear of. Some of them are in the base
ment and some are on the roof, accord
ing to the convenience of the manage
ment. They belong to the carpenters,
engineers, electricians and other work
men who are kept busy every day all
the year round, says the Times. In
every hotel of pretensions a large force
Is required to mend furniture, do odds
and ends of painting, put on door locks,
repair broken water pipes, and do any
number of other things that are indis
pensable if the house is to appear in
good order all the time.
“It is my experience,” says the man
ager of a hotel in Broadway, “that men
and women who will put np with no
end of inconvenience and disorder at
home or in a cheap boarding house kick
mightily if they do not find everything
spick and span at a ^otel. A man who
will sit night after night in a frayed
chair in his parlor at Four Corners will
make an awful fuss if he finds a neglect
ed piece of tprniture in a hotel parlor
or bedroom. A women who has to light
the parlor stove every day when she is
at home and spend half her time in keep
ing the house warm, will say she Is cold
even if the steam is on at full pressure
in her room at a hotel, and she will
keep a man busy two or three hours a
day running around to see if there is
not something the matter with the
pipes.
“It seems to be a weakness with some
folks to ‘take it out’ of the furniture In
hotels in order to get their money’s
worth. A man who will not dare to
throw a burnt match on the carpet in
h|a own house, and who would as soon
thSik of flying ss of lying on the bed
with his boots on, will do these things
and worse in a hotel bedroom. It takes
two or three hours to put the room in
order after he has gone. Often we have
to send at least one piece of furniture to
the repair shop. If one of the small
furniture dealers scattered' around the
city could get as much furniture to
mend as is sent to hotel repair shops
every day he would begin to talk about
| *-r-w -
“Perhaps I am putting It strongly, bul
In all seriousness, carelessness and will
ful neglect of guests in great hotels—
j men and women from whom such a
thing would not be expected—puts ut
to great expense. Would a man spit to
bacco on a carpet or burn curtains and
bed covers with cigarettes If they were
his own property? These things are
done every day In a hotel. Some men
will not scratch a match anywhere else
If they can scratch It on the wall pa

| “Again, a lot of room we should like
for other purposes is ocqupled with un
claimed trunks and other baggage be
longing to persons who have forgotten
to pay their hotel bills. Most hotels
keep rooms especially for this, and they
have anywhere from 100 to 150 trunks
on hand all the time. They are obliged
by law to hold them three months be
1 fore sending them to the auction room.
Many proprietors keep them a year.”
PICTURES FROM LIFE.
Writer* of the Present Day Deal Hers
with Fact and Less with
Fancy.
The number of capable writers whc
are telling the various truths of lift
in the form of fiction is much greater
than contemporary pessimists realize,
states the Detroit Free Press. There is,
Indeed, no corner of human experience
which cannot produce its able, enter
taining representative. Let us take
some traditional forms of the novel—
the sea story, say. GapL Marryat was
indeed a master, and yet W. Clarke Rus
sell and Conrad and Jacobs! In the
work of all of these men one has to ac
knowledge that romantic fidelity to the
facts rather than the fancies of the sea
1 which I have spoken of as the note ol
the modern romantic realism. In the
j case of Conrad we have also a writer ol
j me nrsi luerary importance—a novelist
• of action and serious vivid detail, who
1 does not scorn to write good English,
■ but who more than that. Pole as he is—
and there Is an additional marvel—
writes English of a quality so English
that incredible as it may sound, his
I words are no less exciting than his ad
| ventures. It may almost be said that the
fact of his being a “foreigner” using our
English tongue has possessed him with
a regard for classical English which
| fostered in him the journalistic impres
sion of such a vociferous English writer
as, say, Mr. Kipling—Mr. Kipling, who is
patriotic in everything but his language.
Barslar Beei.
To the person who knows nothing
about bees they represent the supreme
type of industry. But even the bee com
munities are disturbed by those of their
own kind who break through and steal.
Robber bees are always a source of
anxiety to beekeepers, and at this time
of the year the marauders seem partic
ularly active. Having gathered no
honey, or at any rate an insufficient sup
ply for themselves, they will descend
upon a hive, kill its industrious occu
pants and carry off the golden treasure
In an astonishingly short space of time.
We know of a recent instance in which
the attack was developed and the home
bees killed In a couple of hours. Some
times hive will attack neighboring hive.
In such cases the old straw “skip” vas
better than the modern arrangement,
for a knife thrust through the top would
break the comb and set the honey free,
at which the thieves would Instantly
return to seal up their own store. It is
not primarily In their Industry that bees
are human.—London Chronicle.

REMARKABLE WEAPON.
Bltwplpc lied bp () e Indian Sharp
aboatcra of Galana Ulcrlr
Conatracred.
There are two kinds of blowpipes in
use among the Indiana of Guiana. The
first, called the poocoona, is made of
the oorah reed. This remarkable reed
is found in the Orinoco river only,
and then only at certain spots. The
oorah grows to a height of at least
30 feet, and the basal joint, of which
the blowpipe is made, is 14 or 15 feet
long, straight as an arrow and without
a knot, says Longman’s Magazine.
The inside of the reed is as smooth
as glass, hence the facility with which
the dart traverses it. Very little of
the reed is cut away, so that the pipe
is about 12 feet long, and is so strong
that when held horizontally there is not
the least bend in it
The reed, haring been carefully se
lected, cut and prepared, is Inclosed
in a small, thin palm trunk, which is
split open for the purpose, scraped
thin as a wafer, and then rejoined with
the reed in the center. This palm, for
length, straightness and lightness, is as
remarkable as the reed. The whole pipe,
when finished, never weighs more than
11/2 or 1% pounds. Both the mouth, or
muzzle, and the breech are bell mouthed,
the bell pieces being fixed on.
There are front and back sights, the
latter formed of the curved teeth of the
dasyprocta acouchi, g, species of rodent
somewhat larger in size than a
wild rabbit. Two of the insicors of
this animal are fixed on the breech of
the pipe by means of wax. The teeth
being placed parallel to each other and
very close together, the sight is taken
between them. Sometimes the fore
sight is made in the same way, but it
more often consists of the single sharp
tooth of a fish. It is placed about a
foot back from the muzzle, the back
sight being affixed four feet along the
tube, so that it is a considerable dis
tance from the eye when aiming.
The missile used with this tube is
misnamed an arrow. It is really a
dart, scarcely larger than a large
darning needle, and with a point quite
as fine. The dart is made of the rib
of the coocooreete palm leaf, and is
so heavy that it will sink in water.
ii is auuut seven incnes in lengrn, mn
thicker than a large needle, and the
usual number that an Indian carries
with him when shooting is from 350
to 500, ready poisoned, but not pre
pared with the necessary cotton plugs.
These darts are strung together
something like the reeds on which
soft cheeses are placed, and then rolled
on a stick and carried in a quiver,
points upmost, it being requisite to
protect them from every chance of
being broken or dulled. To protect
the hand when handling them the top
of the stick is furnished with a small,
wheel-like shield.
The fine points are given to the darts
by means of the teeth of the devilfish
(serrasalmus pivava), and the cotton
with which they are plugged before
use is found growing wild. It is
bound to the base of a dart with
thread made of silk grass; this thread,
with wax obtained from several trees,
being largely used also in making the
blowpipe.
GROWTH OF INSANITY.
(a the Large Cities It Is Increasing
and Experts Demand a
Change.
What change can be made in city life
to stop its enormous production of in
sanity, yearly increasing?
Here is a question which is yet to be
solved, says the New York World. The
medical fraternity is at a loss for a gen
eral remedy; puzzled to find means of
overcoming the baneful effects of a
city’s activity on the general medical
condition.
London produces 70 lunatics a week
and New York is almost as bad, and its
increase is greater proporionately. Ex
perts say that If it were not for the fact
that nature stt:ps in and generally re
fuses to grant children after the fourth
or fifth generation conditions would be
I far worse than they are.
“The outlook for the future Is not
Dright according to medical opinion, un
less the minds of the city people are bet
ter able within the next few generations
to adjust themselves to their progressive
complicated environment, unless bal
ancing interests and mental habits are
developed to overcome the unnatural
nervous tension of city life.
80 complicated is the enviornment of
those who live in great towns, so many
and so varied are the calls upon the
self-control and upon their effort-mak
ing powers, that their mental machin
ery is apt to become more complex, its
parts require more construction and ad
justment, and the whole machine Is
more apt to get out of gear and to suffer
derangement than in the more primi
tive and less emotional life of even half
a century ago. It is not overwork that
Is the determining cause of the disturb
ance or mental equilibrium, but carking
care, worry and anxiety.
To the rich insanity is brought by in
dulgence in sensuous luxuries. To the
poor, who are at the mercy of every
economic crisis, whose financial circum
stances spell indifferent nutrition, over
crowding and unmoral surroundings,
the condition of modern life bring de
pression and despair. The natural re
sult is that they attempt to drown their
| sorrows In the flowing bowl. Alcohol is
! the cause of one-fifth of the insanity in
males and of more than half of that in
| the, weaker sex.

NEGROES SANG AT

The French opera singers were specta
tors of a picturesque street scene a night
or two ago in the vicinity of the old
French opera house, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat. Bourbon street
was being paved with asphalt, and the
work was being hastened So as to have
that portion of the street neJtr the opera
house accessible for carriages by the
time of tjhe_qp.§nipg.p.f the McfiDUh fan*

On this account an unusually largi
force of workmen were engaged, and in
order to push the work to an early com
pletion the men worked at night, huge
torches being used. In one block, be
tween St. Louis and Toulouse streets,
more than 100 men were working.
Every one familiar with the negro
knows that, in so far as he is able, he
3ets his work to music. It is a fact often
marveled at that the negro, wham he is
singing or chanting in a sort of rfaythmic
mood, works with more ardor than^under
different conditions. And if an extrk^de
mand is made on the negro workman he
sings or chants the louder.
The members of the French opera, or
at least many of them, heard for the first
