WHERE IDOLS ARE MADE.
English. Steel Rails.
In tearing up a siding on the Straits-
ville division of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, the other day, the sec-
tion men discovered that several of the
rails had been made in 1863. Subse-
quent investigation revealed the fact
that these rails were part of a lot that
were bought in England during the war
at a cost of $125 per ton in gold. The
rails were still in very fair condition
and for light motive power would last
ten years longer.

Birmingham, England, Has a Factory
for Manufacturing Heathen Gods.
It has recently been discovered that
there is in Birmingham, in the very
center of Christian England, a factory
where idols are made for heathen na-
tions, says the Pottery Gazette, Lon-
don. Many attempts have been made
to obtain admission to the factory, but
a strict watch is kept upon outsiders
anxious to pry into the secret chambers
where the heathen gods are made, and
journalists especially are prevented
from entering the works.
A few facts were, however, to be
gleaned concerning this extraordinary
industry. Idols of all kinds are turned
out, representing the gods of all heath-
en nations, from Tokio to Timbuctoo.
The export trade to heathen countries
is a fairly large one, although more
gods are sent out to foreign dealers in
curios in the bazaars of Cairo, Damas-
cus, Colombo, etc., for sale to unsus-
pecting travelers anxious to take home
some mementos of their stay abroad.
The price of gods varies greatly. You
may get a Birmingham made one in a
London curiosity shop for half a crown,
or you may run up the pretty bill of
£20 for an especially ugly one,
“stolen,”* according to the dealer, “by
a sailor during the Chinese war.” In
the Cairo bazaar, however, the price
of a first-class god of this kind may
run from £20 to anything. A traveler
informed the writer that there was lit-
tle difficulty in detecting a god of na-
tive make from one of Birmingham
manufacture. The first generally dis-
played some slight irregularity or
change of design due to the native
Working by hand, while the Birming-
ham god was superlatively correct in
form as the most immaculate dandy is
in dress. The trade in idols is kept
such a close secret that it is difficult
to estimate the output, for in the board
of trade returns the gods would
doubtless be classed under the humil-
iating title of “works of art or cur-
ios.” But there is no doubt the trade
is a fairly large one, and that some
cute Birmingham men do very well in
the business.
grained paper. After the paper has
been cut to a pattern, the different
parts are sewed together and hemmed
and the places where the buttonholes
j are to be formed are strengthened with
calico or linen. The stuff is very strong
and at the same time very flexible. Af-
ter a garment bas been worn a few
hours it will interfere with the trans-
piration of the body no more than do
garments made of fabric. The stuff i3
not sized, nor is* it Impermeable. After
becoming wet the paper is difficult to
tear. When an endeavor is made to
tear it by hand it presents almost as
much resistance as the thin skin used
for making gloves.—Answers.

blood diseases is always the same—
mercury or potash. These drugs bottle
up and poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints give way to a stiffness, the rack-
ing pains of rheumatism. The form
gradually bends, the bones ache, while
decrepitude and helplessness prema-
turely take possession of the body, and
it is but a short step to a pair of
crutches. Then comes falling of
the hair and decay of the bones,—a con-
dition truly horrible.

A Valuable Fi-ancliise Secured.
The franchise of easy digestion—one of the
most valuable in the gift of medical science—
can be secured by any person wise enough to
use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, either to
suppress growing dyspepsia, or to uproot it at
maturity. Bilious, rheumatic and fever and
ague suffers, persons troubled with nervous-
ness and the constipated, should also secure
the health franchise by the same means.

SlOO Reward, SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at Je.ast one
dreaded disease that science has been able
to cure in all its stages and that is Ca-
tarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitution-
al disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as-
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One Hun-
dred Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of Testimonials.

A Recent Discovery That Is Working
Wonders.
The most prevailing afflictions that
for a century have been engaging the
most scientific skill of the medical
world are rheumatism, neuralgia, ca-
tarrh, asthma, la grippe and their kin-
dred ailments. The country is full of
sufferers from these complaints. Al-
though the most learned experts of the
medical profession have labored for a
century to produce a curative, until
quite recently no positive results were
effected. To the Swanson Rheumatic
Cure Co., 167-69 Dearborn street, Chi-
cago, belongs the credit for having
produced the new remedy. It is being
extensively advertised under the
trade mark of “Five Drops.” The
trade mark is self-expla.ntory. Five
drops make a dose. The effect is mag-
ical. In days gone by other alleged
cures have been marketed with the
promise to take effect in thirty days
or more. Five Drops begins to cure
at once. Immediate relief is felt. In
order to more effectively advertise its
merits the company will for the next
thirty days send out 100,000 of their
sample bottles of this positive
cure for 25 cents a bottle by mail pre-
paid. Large bottle, 300 doses, $1 (for
thirty days 3 bottles $2.50.) Those suf-
fering should take immediate advant-
age of this generous offer and write
them to-day.

PLAYING A FUNNY GAME.
Why the Lambs Are Always 71«eced or
the Stock Exchange.
The use of chips and counters is a
great convenience in such games as
poker, faro and the like, says the
Arena. The business, so called, of the
stock exchange in Wall street and else-
where is carried on by the use of tok-
ens ©r bits of paper designated as
bonds and stock certificates, which are
supposed to entitle the holders of them
to certain dividends to be declared by
managers of railway and other corpor-
ations, or to certain interest install-
ments payable at stated times. Th6
I croupier at faro . guarantees prompt
payment In cash to the chip holders at
.the end of the game. The seller of
stocks and bonds in the game in “the
street” guarantees nothing except tha
title and the genuineness of the chips.
The purchaser buys under the rule
.caveat emptor as to price and value.
The value of his purchase depends up-
on the volume of railway traffic, trans-
portation rates, the state of the money
market, the ability, the honesty or dis-
honesty of corporation managers, the
manner in which corporation reports
and accounts are made and kept,
whether these reports and accounts are
fair or cooked,” whether the officers
wear “smoked glasses,” and the like.
Now, it is plain that the so-called
“lambs” are at a disadvantage in this
business, or game. In faro the
“splits” give the dealer a small per-
centage of advantage, but this the
player understands and may calculate
on; the contingencies and rascalities in
the stock-dealing game, however, are
incalculable.
BEAUTIFUL CRETAN CUSTOM.
Men Ready to Protect and Succor the
Girl Forever.
One of the curious Cretan customs
which prevail on the eve of every in-
surrection is known as adelphopoiesis,
or fraternization, says the Fortnightly
Review. One of its immediate results
is the cessation of all feuds, enmity
and rancor. It is carried out as fol-
lows: A number of individuals choose
a young girl, who must be pretty—no
difficult matter in Crete. They inform
her parents of their intention and the1
needful consent is never withheld. I
Then the priest is sent for and told to'
begin the ceremony. He takes a very
long girdle and joins all the men with
it in a circle, in the center of which
the young girl is placed. Then the
clergyman recites a number of prayers
and winds up by giving his benediction
to all present. The moment he pro-
nounces the last amen the circle and
its center stand in relation of brothers
and sisters to each other to all relig-
ious and social intents and purposes.
Each and every one of the males is
bound in honor—and a Cretan knows
no more sacred obligation—to protect
the girl throughout her life, but none
