Triumphs of -Modern Surgery.
Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be removed '
entirely; bpnes are spliced; pipes take'
the place of diseased sections of veinc; i
antiseptic dressings are applied to!
wounds, bruises, burns and like injur-
ies before intlamation sets in, which !
causes them to heal without rnatura-1
tiou and in one-third of the time re
quired by the old treatment. Cham-j
berlain's Pain Balm acts on this same
principal. It is an antiseptic and when |
applied to such injuries, causes them
to heal very quickly. It also a lavs
the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle I
of Pain Balm in your home and it will
save vou time and money, not to men- j
tion the inconvenience and suffering
which such injuries entail. Kor sale !

Milwaukee Man Owns Po sibly Only
One in Existence.
I A J4 gold coin, probably the only
me of its kind in existence, is on ex-
! libitum at the Germania National
j >ank. It belongs to Dr. Charles J.
uange, and is valued by the bank of-
j flcials at J200, although this Is only
I ipproximate.
| The piece of gold is of the same dS
j imeter as a $5 gold piece, but thinner.
| 3n its face is the well-known "lib-
| Srty head." without the cap, however.
| Around this are 13 stars, intersperse*
I with (he letters "6 G 3 S 7 C T
i 3RAMS." The exact meaning of these
letters none of the bank officials have
iscertained.
On the reverse of the coin is a fivfr
sointed star, into which is cut the in.
icription: "One stella—400 cents."
Around it are the words: "E Pluribui
Dnum. Deo Est Gloria." And around
these, forming the rim of this side of
I ; e coin- are the words: "United
states of America. Four Dol."
I About 15 years ago this coin was
sent to Washington by the Merchants'
I Exchange bank of this city, but the
>nly Information obtained was that
l he coin is genuine. It is believed
j hat the coin was minted as a design,
JUt that the design was rejected be-
j cause of its similarity to the $5 gold
[ piece.—Milwaukee Sentinel.
Failed to Recognize Hi« Own Beard.
j Lynn was favored not long ago with
• visit from Representative J. Adam
Bede as a banquet guest there. He
was facetious, as usual, and in the
course of his post prandial remarks
spoke about the folly of jumping at
conclusions.
i "Let me illustrate," Mr. Bede con
tlnued. "I never knew but one locomo
tlve engineer who had a long flow
lng beard. He was a friend of mine
and lived in a certain Western state.
One day he was running about sixtj |
miles an hour, with a straight track 1
(stretching ahead.
{ "This engineer poked his head out
of the cab and the wind whisked his
long beard back in his face. Obey
lng his first thought, that it was a
haystack, he called for down brakes,"
and while his audience was laughing
at this Mr. Bede sprinted away to
another ludicrous observation.
Articles Served Good Purpose.
Senator Cullom dropped in to see an
editor friend of his and while they
were chatting the man who knows
how a paper ought to be run made his
appearance. He complained that
some articles from his pen had not
! been published, though they had been
sent In weeks before. The editor
smiled sadly. "I'm holding them," he
replied. "And they serve a very good
I purpose, too. Now and then I get to
thinking that perhaps we are not of-
fering the public as good a paper as
we ought to. At such times I look up
j your articles and see how much worse
j the sheet might be. So I become real
cheerful again. Please don't take them
from me!"

To Abc'Uh Standing Armies.
i The smaller Countries of Europe
are finding that standing armies are
; too expensive to maintain in time of
j peace. A captain in the Bulgarian
J armj. willing in the Independent,
says that the thinking men of Europe
are in f&vor of abolishing standing
armies acd substituting the American
plan of state militia.
In Bulgaria, for instance, there are
not so many people as there are in
Greater New York, yet it has a
standing army of 4S 000 in time of
peace. Roumania, which has a mil-
lion fewer people than the state
of New York, has a standing army of
130,000.
If the American standing army
were as large as the Turkish, in pro-
portion to our population, we would'
have 700,000 soldiers to support. The
cost of these standing armies is bog
paring the people in half a dozer
European countries.
The Life-Ways.
Feller slngin' at his toll,
Hilngln' Kruss to hay;
Nut nor on a river hank,
Dreamin' life away.
But—whn 's the use to reason?
Life it never Ion#?;
Every man his season;
His sorrow, or his song.
I'eller howlin' on the heights
For the break o' day
i"J hfr,.wh"" 'he valley's lights
Lead the sweeter way.
But—what's the use to reason?
Lire is never long*
Every man his season;
His sorrow, or his song.

Hermit Who Has Plan'ed Himself
Through Patriotism.
Many peasants are setting out 'rom
•11 parts of north Russia to visit ihe
remarkable hermit, Prokhor , Sele-
nlteh, otherwise known as the Hairy
Man of Archangel."
Seleniteh has long been known for
his eccentric ways of proving his pi-
ety. Five years ago he cut off all the
fingers of his left hand In a fit uf re-
ligious frenzy.
On hearing that the Russians had
suffered disaster Ih the far East lie de-
clared that this was the result of their
•Ins. which could only be atoned for
by a "sacrifice to mother earth " He
professed at first not to know the
j meaning of this.
On St. John the Baptist's day, how-
ever, he had a revelation, ordering
him to "plant himself in darkness in
the first earth he trod on, there to re-
main until the Infidels were beaten or
until birch-leaves sprouted from his
mutilated hand."
As Senelitoh s cabin had an earthen
floor, he understood this to mean that
he was to plant himself where he
stood He blocked up the windows,
and had a double door fitted to his
hut so as to exclude the light, and
then dug a hole and planted himself in
the earth up to his knees.
There he remains, attended only by
a little granddaughter. He fares well,
as the pilgrim who visit him fill his
hut with offerings of food and drink.--
