Highest of ill in Leavening Power.--Latest IT. S. Gov't Report From the Evening Polk. Chicago, 111. ' : William II, Theel, wlioj is employed by the Title, Guaranty and Trust Company, in the Stock Exchange, Chicago, was seen one evening last week at the residence of hig parents, li58 East BlaekhaWk street. His experience is an interesting one in­ deed* which will prove more interesting in allowing him to tell it in his own words. . He says: "Some time ago 1 had an attack of typhoid*-fever which kept me in bed for several weeks. Having from child­ hood always been in very delieate Tttea.1 th, my physician and also my parents feared that I must surely succumb' to the disease. But I gradually passed the danger point and after soine time became convalescent, and in due course of time became strong enough to go down town and attend to my clerical duties. But for Dme reason I could not get back my strength and I "found that the effects of the malady were still present in my system. I had no ap­ petite! and the most tempting dishes which my anxious mother could prepare had no attractions for me. I became pale, lan­ guid, gained no strength, and, ,in fact, became weaker day after day. I became morose and peevish, and added to this state of my "nervous system there was ey- ery. evidence of quick consumption--such as short bceathing, a deathly pallor, re­ lieved only by hectic flushes and, in fact, a general breaking^down of my whole sys­ tem. • My condition was such that my parehts became' very much alarmed, al­ though of gourse tlley aid not commyni-? cate their fears to me. The fact is that while I saw their alarm and felt myself surely; auid slowly losing my hold on this life, I really did nut .care, for life had be­ come a burden to me the way that I felt. ' "It was: while I Jwas in' this desperate frame of inhid that, one dny, my fellow clerk handed me a pamphlet .and two boxes of Dr. Williams' Fink IMJls which he brought me'from the drug-'store across the street., I took.both the boxes and the. pamphlet home, and. showed them to my mother. She was.of the opinion that if the medicine would do- as it was claimed, it might save my life, and she advised me by all means to give it a fair trial. I did so, and the result exceeded my fondest hopes. Although 1 Have so far only used three boxes of the pills, the improvement of my general condition is almost marvel­ ous. The severe headaches from which I suffered untold torments have wholly dis­ appeared, my appetite is again good, I eat hearty meals now three times a day and digest the food splendidly, and my strength is returning. .My complexion, as you can see for yourself, is quite clear. My lungs are sound and, in fact, I am now a healthy and strong man." Dr. Williams' Pink I 'ills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements neces­ sary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu- uia'jstn. nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood.

One of tin? most peculiar vegetable- products of Brazil is the Sloqultea uti'.is, or pottery tree. This tree attains a height of 100 feet, and 1M*S a very slen­ der trunk, which seldom exceeds a foot in diameter at the base. The wood is exceedingly hard, and contains a very large amount of silica, but not so much as does the bark, which 'ts largely em­ ployed as a source of Silica for the manufacture of pottery. In preparing the bark for the potter's use it is btirned, and the residue to then pulver­ ized and mixed with clft,T in the proper proportion. With an eqttul quantity of the two ingredients a superior quality of earthenware is produced. This is very durable, dnd is capable of with­ stand ing any amount o* heat; The na­ tives employ it for all kinds of culinary purposes, When fresli the bark cuts like soft Sandstone,, and the presence of the Silex may b« readily ascertained , by grinding a plec^of the bark between the teeth. When dry it is generally brittle, though scSSxetimes difficult to break. After being Isirned it can not, if of good quality, b* broken up be­ tween the lingers, .a nT?)t»tar and pestle being required to crush it--Public Opinion.

[ Denver, Sept. 10.--My journey from i Chicago was over the Chicago, Burling-: tan and Quiney Railroad, one of the best' managed'systems in the country, I shoulil say, judging by the civility of the em-i ployes, the comfort I experienced, the! excellence of its roadbed, and the punc-. tuality of arrival. I actually reached] Denver ahead of'time, The.Burlingto»| Route is ajgo the best to St. Paul, Min-J neapolis,. Omaha and Kansas City.

Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas­ ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax­ ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid­ neys, Liver and Bowels without weak­ ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

This is, the same production which created so much kindly comment last season in New York, where it attracted prosperous at­ tention at the Fifth Avenue Theater. "While distinctly Southern in tone and sentiment, as its title suggests, the play is said to furnish an original and inge­ nious treatment of an exceedingly inter­ esting story, full of heart and home, and absolutely void of sensationalism. It con­ tains all the. essential elements of dra­ matic intensity, and the comedy scenes, of which there is a generous supply, are utilized with fine discrimination. Mr. Whytal has been heartily praised for his admirable work, and indeed no play by an American Author in recent years has re­ ceived such cordial indorsement.

The Dog Answered. The steamer Forest Queen, Sunday, had an excursion party from Bidde- ford on board, and at the request of some of the excursionists Capt. Oliver ran out by Wood Island. As he passed the light lie saluted M with the custom­ ary three whistles. Scarcely had the echoes died away when a dog dashed out of the lighthous? and ran at full speed toward the fog bell. He was fol­ lowed by a man. Jt is needless to say that the dog arrmnVat the bell first, and lie immediately began to jump into the air as though trying to reach some­ thing. When the n'an arrived on the spot it was readily seen what the trou­ ble was. The bell rope was hung upon a nail and the dog could not reach it. However, as soon as the man removed the rope from the nail the dog seized it in his teeth, and with a great deal of apparent satisfaction answered the steamer's salute. The dog knows his business, and never fails to return a steamer's salute.--Daily Eastern Argus, Hall'e Catarrh Care. Is a constitutional cure. I'rico 75 cents.

Hood's Pills Women know the influence of beauty 'On men; men rarely admire a beautiful Invalid, but they do admire a'woman in whom is blended good features and per­ fect health. There is no secret about a woman's beauty; it all lies in the care she devotes to herself, to removing from her system all poisonous, impurities, and keeping at bay those fearful female diseases. The flashing eye, elastic step, and bril­ liant complexion are never companions of a womb trouble; only the distressed expression and aches, pains, blues, faint- ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling, etc., keep it company.

SAPOLIO that, to give satisfaction, the pin must hold the hat in place steadily, in spite of wind, weather and all other condi­ tions, and this, it is said, the ordinary hat-pin does not do. Here? is something, however, that will do all that: at least its inventor makes that claim for it. It is a spiral grip, which is fastened on both sides of the hat. and hold in position by a little^hp.

A pure and simple tonic, which aids the circulati-on. makes hard, smooth, firm flesh, and prevents wrinkles, is compounded by the following formula: Two ounces of spirits of .camphor, two ounces of spirits of ammonia, one cup of spa salt, two cups of alcohol.

A father, talking to his careless daughter, said: "I want to speak to you of your, mother.* It may be that you noticed a careworn look upon her face. Of course it has not been brought there by any act of yours; still it is your duty to chase it away. I want you to get up to-inorrowr morning and get breakfast. When She Hides the Key. It is a singular instance of the sim­ plicity of the average mind to watch the entire good faith in which the coun­ try housekeeper, when she takes her walks abroad jahd locks up. her house, hides the key for its discovery by any other member of the family. As . matter of course, she tucks it away uu dor the doormat. It never seems to en­ ter her dear, motherly head that every other woman in the place does, pre­ cisely the same thing, and perhaps ev­ ery other woman in every other subur­ ban town. She never seems to think that that is one place that anjr student of human nature who has burglarious inclinations would seek entrance to the house by simply lifting the doormat. He would be sure to find the key ready for him there. . "•.' <> To Make a Belt Stay Smooth. An unhygienic but fashionable way of making a ribbon belt stay smooth, and one that is taken advantage of by many of the fashionably gotten up women, is to wear a belt of stout can­ vas or even kid under the dress waist. The ribbon will keep in shape over this when it wrinkles over the best corset. The kid belts should be perforated. Otherwise they collect and hold the insensible perspiration going on all over the tkjefy all the time, and after a short time are wet enough on the inside to ruin underclothing and be uncomforta­ ble to boot . , ^ T LIKE A GOOD TEMPER, SHEDS A BRIGHTNESS EVERYWHERE."
