A op of tea, comforts thesnul ami piros I penile stimulus to liniiu sunl body, of many a hard working man and woman, to whom its loss would come as a real calamity. Happily there appears to he no danper of any such disaster. The Chinese supply holds up well, and if it should fail, why perhaps tea could lie prown in this country. Commissioner of Agriculture J.el ur thought it could lie, ami llioupli a, lor the expenditure of many thousand dollars of Government money he didn't r:n-e a crop sufficient to allow President I laves and the rnemhersof hiscahinet to ask f r a second cup a-pieee ; Btill some future c...nmissioncr may have better luck. None 1 these conditions, however, ever dis t rhed Mm. Willis Mapill, of 217 West !':-rk street, Sandusky, Ohio,-bo much as severe attack of rheumatism, with which die was fo badly atllicted that she could n-it raise a cup of tea to her mouth or pass : ny of the soothing drink to the members l' the family. How she suffered and how :-!i.. was cured she tells in the following :. 'count of her own andfof other cases: " My rheumatism brpan in my left hand : .i I arm about two years ai;o and by Spring it had complete control of nio. I was quite i'loken down. I tried .-.11 the liniments and everything else that was ever tried or n:. 'd. Finally a New Y jrk paper was sent II-. in which we saw u.i advertisement of Athlophoros. As we were spending money f ir medicines all the time and nothing was doing any good, I thought a trial of the new remedy could do no harm. Kvenif it l id no good the money might as well go that way as any otiier, and so wo sent for the Athlophoros. I began with a tea spoonful three times a day and I immedi ately began to feel better. ''Iliad not been able to touch a li,li eloth or lilt anything, not even as much as the weight of a cup of tea to pass it arross the table. In one week's time after beginning to use the remedy 1 could do both almost as well as ever. There were no more aches or pains. 1 used one bottle and began on another, when 1 found 1 had used enough. I kept what was left in the Indite, and last week one of my neighbors '".line in to ask me about my cure. 1 told her just how the Athlophoros acted iion me, and said that if she was not afraid to try it she might have what 1 had left. This was on Wednesday, and on the following Sunday she called in and said that her li:ines did not ache at all any more. 1 told h -r another bottle would euro her and she said she would get it. "Another lady came to me after I had i.sed the Athlophoros about a week and wanted information concerning it. She bought a bottle and it acted on her like a charm. She says that it benefited her more than anything she ever tried. A colored washerwoman, to whom I recommended it, said to me : ' I done think it is dretl'ul ex pensive, but 1 am going to keep on using it for it is cheaper than n iliytor.' Sheused t hree bottles and says that if she did not have to wash, by which fahe gets heated and chilled, she would be entirely cured. My elbow still lets a little lameness and I suf fered foin the rheumatism bo long that I do not think the arm will ever beasstrong as it was before. I did every bit of my house-cleaning last Spring after using Athlophoros only a few days." If you rnnnnt get ATinoPMortos of yonr dm. pist, we will send it express paid, on receipt .t regular price one doliiirper bottle. We prefer timt you buy it from yonr druggist, but if lie htisn't it. do not be persuiuleil to try something else, but order at once front us, as directed. ATHI.oeHOKoH Co.. Ill Willi Street.

Its Habits, Uses, Nature and Training. 1'igcon-ll) in is of -such ancient ori gin that il is hard lo say where it be gan. In Egypt .Iheir domestication goes back a far as .'1,1 I'd years before Christ, and in a coronation .scene of" Kaiuesis 111., the Mng is represented ns having assumed the crown of Upper aud Lower Egypt, and a priest lets tl' four pigeons, commanding ihem "to announce lo the soul h, the north, the) oast and the west that the sou of Iris has put on the splendid double crown of thu upper and lower country.'' The Uouiatis at one limit had the pig eon craze. l'liny says of it: "Many persons nri" insane in their love of these birds.'' White ones were the rugj if they were good flyers, and that they were highly prized may be judged by the prices which were usked for them. There is one instance where u good price was olVnrcd for a line pair, but the owner refused to take less liian 400 denarii for them, a sum equal in our money to about &(. It was their cus tom lo curry pigeons to theaters and w hen out w alking, aud throw them into the air, rivals betting heavily ou whose bird w ould get home lirst. To become good and reliable they must be taken from thu nest as soou as they are able to lly, and carried a short distance away, probably a quarter or a half mile. All those that get homo quickly are further trained, and the slow ones are killed. In this way tho best are preserved. When they find their way home from short distances they arc taken further and further, un til they cover any distancu within the limits of power. They can lly about thirty miles an hour, but more is some times claimed. Instances are known where they have llowu 1,000 miles without a rest. As soou as they are thrown into tho nil' they go to a considerable height, and lly around and around iinLil some familiar landmark is seen, from which they take their course and start in a straight line for home. If uo well known mark can be seen they are lost, aud often cume back to the starting place. In instances where carriers were let go from balloons and could uot lind their way, they have returned to the balloon, us the dove diii to Noah when it could find uo place to rest. ( It is through no love of Hying or keenness of racing that makes the car rier return to its cote, but its love of home. It is this iustiuet that makes it fly with untiring wing for hours and hours, to rest ut last in familiar places and among friends. Among the Rouiaus, aud the Asiatics before them, it was thu custom to tie letters around the leg or foot, and many a letter from distant friend and absent father or lover was carried in this way. Travelers going from Rome in olden times, or soldiers departing for distant wars, frequently "carried pig cons, releasing them at intervals, that they might lie the bearers of cood tid ings to the folks at home. Tyiug the message arouud the ueck or wing had been tried, but bolh were found to im pede the bird's; llighf. At present, when they aro used, the message is tied around the leg, high up, where it does not interfere ut alii In England and France, old writers speak of thefrequeut use of these birds, both for private correspondence as well as public, especially in time of war, when cities were besieged and there were no other available means. At such times the attacking party kept a large stock of falcons, aud it was the duty of tho falconers to keep a sharp lookout for carrier pigeons. As soou as oue would lie observed tho falcons were let go, and away they rushed in hot pursuit. It is described as intense ly iuterestiug to see both pursuer and pursued cleaving the air like arrows; one Hying for his game aud the other for his life. The falcons frequently proved victorious, aud would bring the dead dove buck with information of great value. To circumvent this the besieged some times let lly live or six birds at a time, which bore no message, aud when the falcons were either engaged with these or too tired to lly fast, another bearing the letter would be let go, aud run the gauntlet w ith ease. During the siege of Paris this was a very common way of bearing news, anil many were thu letters which reached outside friends aud military leaders fur beyuud the walls. Sharpshooters were ou tho lookout for them continually, but as a usual thing were of no avail. It was in this way lhat much news reached other coiiuliics of the condi tion within the city. The French, uot wishing to encumber tho pigeons any moro than necessary in order that they might enhance the chances of their gtgtiug through all right, lnado very small micro-photographs of newspa pers, letters aud military orders, the eutire budget weighing but a few grains.

A Remarkable Description. j The New York other day a duly 'oi'ttf .-'a t that the was deploring the ' di'tilh of an acquaint ance with one ot tho I. lifer's most iniintale friends. Dur ing th" coiii s'c of their conversation the sun of the dot cased gentleman t utored thu loom and conversation became general. On his ih puiliirc, however, tree and personal comment was passed upon him. Said lady No. , "That boy has his mother's eyes.'' "Ye," sub scribed No. I, reflectively, "and I noticed that hit had his father's um i brclla." 'I bis rcniarkabl'! description I has stin k lo him ever since, and ho is ' known as the boy with his mother's eyes and his father's umbrella. Gnawing the Nubbin. Among the iuuuuieiablo things one notices while traveling, none are queer er Hum the sight tit Americans eating their far-famed native vegetable. At one hotel fable we saw a red-faced man of heavy frame and features, with shag gy eyebrows umi grizzled moustache ferociously attack au ear of corn, as if it was a premeditated act of vengeance. Holding it in both hands, ho rapidly ate from end to cud of the ear without a pause, beginning over again on tho next row until the whole was methodi cally and cll'eetually finished. His nose, chin, jaws, moustache and eyebrows vigorously worked in nuisou like a piece of connected, patent machinery, warranted to crush a large amount of kernels in a short space of time. He was very conspicuous, yet unconscious of the ridiculous spectacle presented, like hundreds of others who adopt Hie same voracious method. The most surprising part of the picture was his beautiful wife, whose persoual appear ance and elegaut table milliners indi cated extreme refinement and delicacy. Willi her reddish gold hair coiled high on her head, her pretty features and complexion, her dress of pale lilac In dia silk under a polonaise of real aud rare white lace, diamonds blazing at her cars, aud on her while neck aud hands, she was a sinking contrast lo the man who sal beside her. liercely grinding corn and piling up layers of cobs on the table cover. If this, with many oilier table ollcuses lie uatinally perpetrated as the meal proceeded, disturbed the sensibilities of the lady, she concealed any outward sign cf 'it beneath a cool composure aud appar ent indifference that showed a remark able power of self-command. Such women are capable of heroisms if their capacities wore directed into higher channels. Hut would any number of Paris dresses, any amount of real lace and diamonds, induce you, Heleu, to speud your life with a "man who ate corn on the cob like that!' I think not, even if he lavished Kohiuoors and steam-yachts upon you beside. Hart ford 'iltlttS. Shying Horses Are Near-Sighted. "Why it is that shying in horses should be set down to an ugly disposi tion I don't know," said a prominent veterinary surgeon yesterday. "It must lie bceaii.se horsemen don't know what else to lay il to. The fact is that it seldom is met with unless thu horse is near-sighted. 1 have tested scores of shying horses for near-sightedness, and iu nearly all cases found what I ex pected. Aud now when 1 am asked to give points on buying horses I give this as oue of the requisites. Never buy a horse which is near-sighted. There are, however, two exceptions to this rule. If the horse is to have a mate, then it doesn't make any dillercuce about the sight. One horse can go blind if the olhcr is clearsighted. If tho horse is to he used for riding to saddle bo careful that he is not near sighted, for he will throw you sooner or later. "The reason why a uear-sighted horse shies is very simple," the surgeon continued. "Of all auiiuals the horso is the most gentle, and even timid. He sees a strange object, aud his suscept ible mind magnifies it into a mouster that is going to destroy him. A piece of white paper at the roadside iu the night is a ghost, ami au old wagon in the ditch is a dragoii. Every horse man knows that if you drive the animal close to the dreadful object tho horso cools down at once. It is supposed that it is because the horse makes a closer acquaintance with the object. That is true, but not iu tho sense in which it is generally understood. Tho nuimal has not been able to see it from a dis tance. He is uear-sighted." New York n.
