J. R. WATKINS.
In the year 1868, Mr. J. R. Watkins first began
he manufacture of Dr. Ward's Liniment. For
ears he struggled along1 with limited means,
triving with all his powers and at times despair
ng of success, but at last established a living,
uying business, and made the name "Dr. Ward's"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ngall these long years of toiling and waiting,
•lr. Watkins little thought that men could be
ound so lost to every principle of right and
ustice as to undertake to despoil him of hisbus
ness, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
ruitsof his life-long labors. However, in this
natter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
arious parts of the country, sprang up bogus
itcents offering medicines said to be Dr. Ward's or
•just as good as Dr. Ward's," frequently leading
aistomers into thinking they had the genuine
vrticle. Therefore, in order to protect his busi
ICSS and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
.vorid-wuie right to use his name as a trade
nark for a full line of medicines, and caused the
-ame to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
So. 23585.

HIS ATTEMPT TO DESCRIBE A RAM
FIGHT IN RING VERNACULAR.
The Bride Ventured a Suggestion Which
Caught On—The Preacher Didn't Fnll^
Succeed I Appearing: Unsophisticated
The Little Ram's Ring Tactics.
A preacher told this story at a wed
ding snpper on the South Side the othei
evening:
I was riding along a country roac
near Bloomington," he said, "when]
noticed a group of sheep in a pasture.
There was a large open space in the
midst«of the flock, and at either end ol
the space stood a_ ram. In the center,
but standing a little at one side, was
third ram. The two rams had evident!}
had a falling out about something, oi
£lse they had come to settle in a friend
ly contest which was the better ram.
Bam No. 3 seemed to be acting as—
judge, umpire—what do you call it!
Referee? Yes, that's it, the third ran:
was the referee. I don't know undei
what rules the meeting took place. Ii
may have been Queensberry or Rosebery.
You see I am not up to these technical
matters.
When all the preliminaries had beer
arranged and both contestants had beer
cautioned apparently that there was tt
be no 'fouling'—I think I hxvtr seer
that word in the newspapers occasional
ly, and therefore I suppose it is a cor
rect word to use in this connection
each backed off to the farthest limits oi
the circle, which, by the way, was not
a squared circle. The referee stepper
out of the way, and the rams dashed to
ward each other. When their head
came together, there was a terrific crash,
and the force of the concussion threw
them as far apart as the length of thi
table."
All the guests looked the full lengtl
of the table from the passion flowers ai
one end to the brido's cake in the fai
perspective, and then at the preacher ii:
the middle distance, but nobody iu
anything.
"Then," continued the preacher,
"they took their places, apparently none
the worse for the encounter. Again, evi
dently at a preconcerted signal from tin
referee, they clashed together. This time
the shock was even more terrific thar
the first, and I noticed that as one ol
them went back to his—ah, what dc
they call it, corner?—he was a little un
steady on his legs.''
"Groggy!" ventured the bride.
I believe that is the technical term,''
replied the preacher, "although, as 1
have iatimated, I am not at all familial
with sporting phraseology. When time
was called for the third round—ahem—
that is, I mean to say when the ramf
had recovered strength for a third col
lision— there was another rush, a
crash, and one of the rams, the one you
so aptly described as 'groggy' (with an
acknowledgment to the bride) fell tc
his knees. His adversary did not seen}
inclined to follow up his advantage, bul
possibly he may have been restrained by
the rules of the meeting. At any rate,
after contemplating his fallen foe grave
ly for a moment he walked back to his
place. The other ram, after resting
briefly, struggled to his feet. The third
ram—the one I have called the referee
—looked at him rather inquiringly, as
it seemed to me, but the warrior show
ed no sign of recognition. He ambled
to his side of the ring and faced about.
A murmur of some sort seemed to go
through the flock. The odds were ap
parently 3 to 1 in favor of the other
ram—that is to say, it seemed to be the
general opinion that the ram with the
weak knees had been outclassed, as the
other one was decidedly the heavier of
the two.
"However, the smaller ram seemed
to have wonderful recuperative powers.
When the proper interval had elapsed,
he came up smiling, as it were. I even
thought I could see a twinkle in his eye,
for I was quite close to the fence, and
this thing took place only a little dis
tance away. As the referee stepped back
from the center of the ring, where he
kept his position between the meetings,
the other two rams drove at each other
pellmell. At the very instant when
their hard horns would have met, how
ever, the smaller ram suddenly changed
his course to the right, and the other
went through the ranks like a catapult.
"Just as he turned about, evidently
boiling ever with indignation at the
trick which had been played on him,
the other one, with the added force given
by a longer run from one side of the cir
cle to a point several feet outside of it,
where the larger ram's momentum had
carried him, shot at him like a cannon
ball, striking him full in the face and
driving him several feet away, where
he lay limp and helpless. The third
ram, who was promptly on the spot, as
I suppose every competent referee should
be, nodded his head several times—in
deed it looked to me as if he was count
ing—and then the fallen ram failing to
rise the whole flock marched away to
ward a knoll in another part of the
meadow with the victorious ram at the
head. Presently the defeated ram got
on his feet and made his way to a se
cluded spot down by a little run, where
I saw him reclining in the shade of a
large willow tree as I rode away."
"What an interesting study natural
history is," said the bride's grandmoth
er as she adjusted her glasses.
"It is indeed," said the groom's fa
ther, coughing behind his napkin.—Chi
•ago Tribune.
A Irish Student's Reply.
An Irish student, who some years ago
attended the university of Edinburgh,
called upon one of the most celebrated
teachers of the German flute, desiring
to know on what terms he would give
him a few lessons. The flute player in
formed him that he generally .charged
3 guineas for the first month and 1
guinea for the second. "Then, by my
soul," replied the cunning Hibernian,
"I'll come in the second month."
The Wonders Tha May Seen Therein
Through a Microscope.
To the ordinary^mortal a drop of wa
ter is what the primrose was to Peter
Bell, a drop of water and nothing more,
but to the student of nature, armed
with a high power microscope, it imme
diately becomes a world teeming with
living creatures, the most minute repre
sentatives of animal life. These thoughts
were suggested by reading Professor
Grace's description of a battle he once
witnessed while examining a collection
Of rotifers, which were amassed in a
single drop of fresh water. Among oth
ers, Mr. Grace noticed a fine specimen
of infusorian, which was swimming
back and forth among the rotifers, as if
intent on mischief. On the following
day it was noticed that the rotifer col
ony had lost several of its members, and
that the infusorian's form had rounded
out until he resembled a miniature St.
Louis bartender. Mr. Grace now re
solved to watch thj mfusorian's move
ments and ascertain if possible the
modus operandi whereby the capture
of such expert swimmers as the
rotifers are known to be was effected.
A few minutes' wait sufficed. Soon it
was noticed that the infusorian was
slowly and continuously working his
way around the foot of a rotifer, which
was resting on the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
as a mouse in an oats bin, and when he
had finished it was noticed that the
rotifer's foot was firmly cemented to the
glass. The infusorian, seeming to know
his victim was secure, began to goad
the tethered creature and torment it in
all the ways that devilish ingenuity
could suggest. He would jump upon its
back and bite it in several places with
lightninglike rapidity and then spring
off and seize a leg and pull it almost,
from its socket. Mr. Grace says that he
watched this unequal combat for nearly
a half hour, when it was noticed that
the rotifer was dying from exhaustion.
Noting the death of his victim, the in
fusorian proceeded to devour his prey, as
he doubtless had done the others that
were missing.
Mr. Grace next examined a small
body of water, consisting of four drops,
in which there were several infusoria
and rotifers. The former proved the
enemies of the latter, just as in the sin
gle drop previously examined. It was
also noticed that the infusorian, having
devoured a victim, would almost imme
diately divide into two or four new ani
mals, each of which would quickly
swim away in search of prey, just as its
parent had done before.—St. Louis Re
public.
BISMARCK'S BIG HEAD.
Measurements Showing That the Space For
Brains I I Is Extraordinary.
Bismarck's head, says a correspond
ent of L'Anthropologie, has been care
fully measured according to the rules of
anthropometrics by the sculptor Schaph
of Berlin, who made the statue of Bis
marck set up at Cologne. The measure
ments prove that Bismarck has a head
of extraordinarily large size. Measured
horizontally from the frontal bone to
the occiput the head is 212 millimeters,
or more than 8.35}^ inches. The dis
tance from temple to temple is 170 mil
limeters, or a trifle over 6.69 inches.
Bismarck's cranium has a capacity of
1,965 cubic centimeters, and his brain
should weigh 1,867 grams.
These figures become especially sig
nificant when compared with the meas
urements of other heads. Of 2,500 heads
measured at Baden Baden only one ex
ceeded 200 millimeters horizontally
from front to back, and that one meas
ured 206 millimeters, or six millimeters
less than Bismarck's. The mean meas
urements of 30 members of the Natural
Science society at Carlsruhe were 195
millimeters from front to back by 155
millimeters from temple to temple. The
biggest of these heads measured 205 by
162 millimeters. The cubic measure
ment of 245 German heads was nearly
500 cubic centimeters under Bismarck's,
while the estimated weight of Bis
marck's brain is 35 per cent above that
of the average adult European brain. In
fact, Bismarck is a man not only of
blood and iron, but as well of brains.
He Kne Her Perfectly.
The outspoken ways and caustic say
ings of Dr. Jephson of Leamington, cel
ebrated in the forties and fifties, have
furnished the kernel of many anecdotes.
One day he was called on by one whom
Brantome would havj called "une
grande dame de par la monde," the
Marchioness of Having listened
to a description of her malady, the ora
cle pronounced judgment:
"An egg and a cup of tea for break
fast, then walk for two hours a slice of
cold beef and half a glass of madeira for
luncheon, then walk Ugain for two
hours fish, except salmon, and a cutlet
or wing of fowl for dinner, with a sin
gle glass of madeira or claret to bed at
10 and rise at G, etc. No carriage exer
cise, please."
"But, doctor," she exclaimed at last,
thinking he was mistaken in his visitor,
"pray, do you know who I am? Do you
know—ahem!—my position?''
"Perfectly, madame," was the reply.
I am prescribing for an old woman
with a deranged stomach."—Nineteenth
Century.
The Poitou Jack.
From the day he is born to the day of
his death no brush or comb is ever al
lowed to be used on him, and as, from
the unnatural condition in which he is
kept, he is prevented in a great measure
from shedding his coat the functions of
the skin become suspended, and the ani
mal gradually assumes year after year
an accumulation of coats, all matted
together with stable filth, till at length
they almost trail on the ground When
he has assumed this extraordinary and
bearlike appearance, he is pointed to
with no little pride by his owner and is
termed bourailloux, or sometimes guen
illoux. Such is ignorance and prejudice.

Work Easily Prosecuted in the Tumult of
a Thunderstorm.
''Speaking of cinches," said there
tired burglar, "the easiest, softest,
smoothest snap I ever struck was in a
house in a small town in Rhode Island
There was a thunderstorm coming up
as I went along toward this house, and
just as I got there it began to sprinkle.
By the time I'd got inside it was com
ing down pretty hard, and I was glad
to be under shelter, for I hadn't brought
any umbrella with me. I hadn't had
any supper either, and when I got into
the dining room I thought I'd get some
thing to eat. The sideboard was locked
and the key carried up stairs, but a lit
tle jimmy opened the door as easy as a
knife would open a pie. I set out a lit
tle snack on the table and sat down and
ate it comfortably, with the rain pour
ing down outside. If there's anything I
like, it's to hear a storm a-raging outside
when you're settled down all snug and
comfortable within.
"But here was something I hadn't
counted on. The thunder was roaring
and plunging like a dozen earthquakes
busting down through the sky, and it
kept the house in a tremble all the time.
I knew nobody could sleep in that thun
der. They'd be sure to be all awake,
but here I was, and I hated to lose a
night, and after I'd waited a little and
the storm didn't show any signs of let
ting up I thought I'd go ahead an see
anyhow. The very first room I looked
into up stairs settled the whole busi
ness.
"Over in one corner jjE this room, be
yond a bed, I saw a woman standing in
front of an open closet door. Two chil
dren hopped out of the bed, and the
mother pushed them into the closet, and
then crowded in herself and pulled the
door shut tight. It was all very simple.
Husband away, no help two children
sleeping in another room, woke up by
thunder, come into their mother's room,
all scared mother puts children in
closet and gets in herself, as lots of folks
do in thunderstorms. And then I walk
over and turn the key in the lock, and
there you are. No danger of their com
ing out till the storm is over anyway,
but just as well to be sure about it, and
then I just quietly go through the house.
It isn't big, and it doesn't take long, and
I come back before the storm is over and
unlock the closet door again and skip,
and that's all there is to it."—New
York Sun.
THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG.
Two Famous Poets, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and William Cullen Bryant.
Oliver Wendell Holmes received the
degree of doctor of medicine in 1836,
being then 27 years old, and in that
year he also published his first volume
of poems. Nothing of Dr. Holmes' has
been more popular than "The Last
Leaf," contained in .this early collec
tion, and none has more richly deserved
to please by its rhythmic beauty and by
its exquisite blending of humor and
pathos so sympathetically intertwined
that we feel the lonely sadness of the
old man even while we are smiling at
the quaintness so feelingly portrayed.
Dr. Holmes was like Bryant, who
composed "Thanatopsis" and the
"Lines to a Waterfowl" long before he
was 20, in that he early attained full
development as a poet. Although each
of them wrote many verses in later life,
nothing of theirs excelled these poems
of their youth. In their maturity they
did not lose power, but neither did they
deepen nor broaden, and "Thanatopsis"
on the one side and "The Last Leaf" on
the other are as strong and characteris
tic as anything either poet was ever to
write throughout along life. What Bry
ant was, what Holmes was, in this, his
first volume of poems, each was to the
end of his career.
To neither of them was literature a
livelihod. Bryant was first a lawyer
and then a journalist. Holmes was
first a practicing physician and then a
teacher of medicine. He won three
prizes for dissertations upon medical
themes, and these essays were published
together in 1838. In 1839 he was ap
pointed professor of anatomy and phys
iology at Dartmouth, and the next year
he married Miss Amelia Lee Jackson.
Shortly afterward he resigned the posi
tion at Dartmouth and resumed practice
in Boston. He worked hard in his pro
fession and contributed freely to its lit
erature, and in 1847 he went back to
Harvard, having been appointed pro
fessor of anatomy and physiology, a
position which he was to hold with
great distinction for 35 years.—St.
Nicholas.
Domestic Architecture I Chicago.
The inhabitants of Chicago are the
least curious and observing people in
the world. According to their own news
papers, they permitted one H. H. Holmes
to construct in their city a house so ex
traordinary, so full of hidden doors and
secret passages and acid proof vats that
it would have attracted thousands of
curious visitors had it been built any
where else. But the guileless Chicago
ans suspect nothing. Neither the man
who issued the building permit nor the
men who did the building saw anything
unusual about the house. What is the
matter? Is all Chicago blind, or are
acid proof vats and secret passages part
and parcel of the ordinary Chicago
dwelling? Perhaps there is an interest
ing chapter to be written about domestic
architecture in Chicago. Milwaukee
Sentinel.
Suiting the Action.
"Jamie," sharply called out his
mother, "you've been loafing all day.
Satan always finds some work for idle
hands to do. Take this basket and bring
in tome kindling."—Chicago Tribune.
The fool is always dead sure that hia
own way of doing things is the best, if
not the only way, but. the wise man
wonders, it there isn't abetter way than
the one he has adopted.
