One of the queer occupations of inan- kind is that of dragging for lost anch- ors. It ie carried on in bays and riv- ere, and even in the open sea along the coast. Several eloope and schooners are exclusively engaged in this pur- suit- The hunters are as fatntiiar with the ground where anchors are to be found as fishermen are with the favor- ite haunts of the living inhabitants of the sea. The manner of flebfiiing for lost anchors is most simple. A chain is let down in a loop long enough to drag along the bottom, and the vessel goes on her way with all hands on board alert for a bite. and a bite usual- ly 'ende in of catch. The recovered anchors are generally sold again at a price of about twopence per pound, which a halfpenny under the market price for new anchore. A big anchor will weigh 6,000, so that the fishermen make 250 out of it. More often, how- ever, the anchors fished up weigh from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds, and there is a pretty profit in the business even then. -London Tit Bits.

Silas Huffman, the obstinate eccen- tric, who remained in bed for over fif- teen years, true to a strange vow he took, in the old Huffman homestead, on the I;edmineter road, near Far F Ills N. .(.; is dead of senile degeneracy, caueed by his long, self-inflicted con- finement itis end was peaceful but to the last the determined man refused to leave his bed, even though he was told that the open air and a change of residence might lengthen his life. He was buried in the family burying - ground, within sight of the room'of which he was so long a constant in- mate. His demise removes one of the most remarkable characters that section of New Jersey has recorded. Fifteen years ago Silas was one of the popular young men near Bet nardsville.' He owned fast horses, and spent a small fortune left by hie parents in a free and liberal manner, leaving himself almost penniless on his 83rd birthday. In his extremity he mortgaged the old home- stead to his brother, who was method- ical and saving, and fox some months longer continued to lead a gay and careless life. The end came a hen the interest was demanded on the mort- gage, and it was when his brother threatened to foreclose that he uttered hie strange oath. "If you sell me out, gol darn ve, I'll go to bed and stay there forever" The sale took place and Silas kept his word. Ile retired to the attic of the house and lived until his death in a spare bed which he put. in order in a corner of the room, to the discomfiture of his family and many friends, who, later on, made periodic attempts to make hint change his quarters. He subsisted on food which he sequestered during the night on weekly visits to the farm house pantry. Ten years ago, when he had become one of the celebrated characters of the country side, extreme methods were adopted to cause him to leave his room, or bed. He was told that his end was approaching, but he waived away his suppliants, not deigning to speak. An old companion of his gay days was brought in, and Silas was told of the many wonders taking place in the City of New York, a town that he had dearly loved to visit during his career. He was told of the opening of the Brooklyn bridge, of the ;many handsome new buildings in course of construction, of the telephone, hof the phonograph, of the recently -perfected electric light, but to the recital of all these Interest -awakening myste ies he merely grunted. Cloth was burned on a lower floor and he was told that the house was afire. He sniffed bisidisbe- lief. To all attempts to dislodge him he gave uniform and effective opposi- tion. Force was not used, as he was Still a powerful man; and it was feared that such procedure would lead to a tragedy. Besides this, Silas was now clothed in all the dignity of an exalted and celebrated personage, in whom the entire community was interested, and forcible removal would have been re- sented. In the yearrs� that followed, the changes that tithe brings about made rapid inroads on the recluse. The hair of his head grew until it covered half the bed. His beard was over four feet long, both beard and hair being white as snow, when he at last was carried from his long-time resting place. His one time,powerful and vigorous frame became ellasaciated, until he resembled a freak ,skeleton man, and his ruddy complexion assumed the tint and tex- ture of parchment. Five years ago hie mind degenerated in accord with his physical being. He lost all memory of former pleasures and friends but still held fast to his deterrnination to re- main in bed. That idea was fastened by some occult power of his oath, and from it he never deviated. MRN TRAVEL MILES FOR HEALTH AND WEALTH AND ARE DISAPPOINTED—Ds. AONEW'e GREAT CURES BRING HEALTH AND LAY IT AT YOUR FEET—SURE, CERTAIN A ND PERMANENT —AND HEALTH IS WEALTH. The Heart -Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart is a peerless remedy. In thonsands of oases where sure and sudden death seem- ed imminent its wonderful curative powers have been demonstrated, and in most acute forme relief hasmnme in thirty minutes. Some of the most pronounced symptoms of heart disorder are shortness of breath,smo- thering spells, palpitatation and pain in the left Bide. Mrs J. L. Hillier, of Na hitewood, N. W. T., writes: "I feel that Dr. Agnew's Care for the Heart has saved my life. I was affected with heart trouble in a very bad form. I could not sleep,and could not lie down for fear of suffocation. I could not sleep, and could not lie down for fear of suffocation. I tried many of the best physicians without relief, until one of them recommended Dr. Agnew's Care for the Heart. 1 procured a bottle.. One dose gave relief mad a few bottles completely oared me." Catarrh -'Chia dread disease fastens with inveterate hold upon the linings of the nos- trils. A simple cold in the head neglected willinduoe it. It is estimated that 80 per cent. of the population of the oontinent are in a greater or lees degree subject to its ra- vages. One vase has yet to be cited where the faithful use of Dr Agnew's Catarrhal Powder hue not effected a perfect onre. The Rev. Mango Fraser, D. D., of Knox Church, Hamilton, Ont., who has a con- tinental reputation as a olivine and scholar, was a martyr to acute catarrhal affection. This great remedy being brought to his no- tice he used it, and he writes over hie own signatureehe strongest words of commenda- tion of its curative powers, and reeom- mende it to all sufferers alike. Bold by Watts & Co. Under a Fiery Stone Dr. P. M. Smith, of Hagerstown, Md., and a party of mining meta from Ripley report that a meteoric stone covering two acres of groundfell on the 9th near Ripley, burying udder its red-hot mass a Mexican herder, his wife and three children, his house, cor- ral and about 1,200 sheep. Major Thomas Hayes, of Louisville, Ky., who was of the party, was over- come by the phenomenon. "It was the most brilliant, grand and awe-in- spiring sight I ever witnessed,"be said. "It is simply beyond the power of tongue or pen to accurately describe it. The heat from a meteor is so intone() that it will be several days before the mound can be examined closer." As described by the party, the me- teor came down red and smoking. The air tor miles around was filled with sulphurous gas, and the earth for many miles trembled under the shock of the fall. The stone seems to be im- bedded hundreds of feet in the earth. It rises from the earth like a great mound. The scene of the descent is in the vi- cinity of Hall's Ranch, about 00 miles from Tucson and about 40 from Globe. A large number of people have gone from here to see the stone. Fashion Journals Call At- tention to Brown Shades. You GET THE BEST COLORS FROM DLA - MOND DYES. The fashion journals are agreed that the beet shades of Brown will be in favor as Fall colors this year. Thoueande of women eretnot in a position finanoially to purchase new dresses each season, and so have to content themselves with very oheaplmateriale that rarely come in the new shades, or wear their old cos- tumes. For the benefit of women generally, it may be stated that last season's dresses can, with little work or trouble, be trans- formed into stylish costumes for Autumn wear. The first grggt essential is to get the right dolor. Titie part of the work oan be done with the never -failing end reliable Diamond Dyee, which produce the newest and rioheet browns, such as Seal Brown, Milan Brown, Red Brown, Olive Brown, and Amber Brown. No trouble to have a drawl equal to new, if yon aee the Diamond Dyee. Do not ex- periment with the common imitation dyes, that some dealers sell. The Liamond Dyee give the best colors, and they cost no more than the poor and deceptive dyes sold for the sake of large profits. Ask for the "Diamond;" refuse all others. Just Think Of It The boiling of water would seem a simple accomplishment, and yet is rarely done properly. It should never steam or simmer, but should cook quickly and be used the instant it has boiled. That is most important, as important as the constant scouring of the kettle. Food cooked with water which is not properly boiled, or which is boiled in a kettle coated with dregs, has not the same flavour, and is not as wholesome as properly cooked food. At this season of the year, when humidity asserts itself, gloves are found by many to be a most expensive article of the toilet, perspiration ruins them so quickly. Elands may be kept dry, hoWver, by rubbing on them a little fine j' powdered lycopodium. A good wash for the hands, and one that will retard perspiration, is made of one gramme of tincture of myrrh and one- half a pint of rain water. Wash the hands in this several times a day, and occasionally rub them with a little la- vender water. WHEN BUOULD A MAN SWEAR. Man ie not only a reasoning but a swear- ing animal. Sometimes hie feelings are ex- preesed andinly, and at other, they eo deep down in his nature that nothing less than a volcano would thrust them to the surface. If man should swear at all, when ehoald that time bel The church is silent on this matter and the law gives no Banc - tion to ones words.
