It was arently of no value, but he thought there might be some perts that he could use in his business. When Mr. | Roberts and his assistant took the pump to one of the wells they' were| drilling and started breaking it up, they surprised to see| gold coins drop out of the holes they made. They at once finished the job, and found $4,000, nearly all in $20 gold pieces. Whom the pump belonged to he time the money was hidden, or h g it had been there, is a! mystery. The latest date of one of the coins was 1588. Mr. Roberts at once deposited his find in the Farm-| ers’ and Merchants' bank at Watkins.

Sothern, and concerning his acting in this play an amusing story is told. He was ac- corded a “benefit” one night, and se- lected “David Garrick.” In this com- edy, it will be remembered, Garrick feigns drunkenness,and in the draw- ing-room at Ada Ingot's he disgusts the guests at the tea table, and plays havoc with the tea service. Just be- fore this scene it was discovered that the stage manager had forgotten the necessary crockery, and a messenger was dispatched to a neighboring house to borrow some teacups, etc. The | Charles Richards, rich mine owner in the far west, had died and named his i nephew William of New York as sole heir. There could be no mistake, the law- yer assured him. They had carefully investigated this matter and had found him after diligent search. The thing for him to do now was to enjoy his good fortune. And enjoy it he did with all that money could buy. His house and Its turnishings were his of the finest, | stables were well stocked and many servants did his bidding. Life to him pleasant thing. He mingled with the best soclety and soon became one of the most popular young men in the city. After o time he met her, the beau- tiful woman who became his wife, and shared with him his strangely acquir- fortune He had long since ceased to wonder Hia life was a round of gayety and enjoyment.

Four Hundred of Them Are Said to Dot the Little Island. “A park without a deer,” Richard Jeffries, “is like a wall with- out a pleture,” and it is something to know that in England there are 400 parks containing deer; that they aver- age hundreds and some of them thou- sands of acres, and that Yorkshire, Gloucestershire, Straffordshire, Nor- thants and Sussex have more inclosed land given up to deer than any other counties. There is something peculiarly na- | tional about our deer parks, for soon after the Conquest the barons began to inclose parks within the forests and to include within them all the wild animals that could then be secured. Of these the 2,500 acres of park at Eridge is the only one mentioned in Domesday book as containing deer then as it does now. In that mow scarce book, Shirley's “English Deer Parks,” 48 park: ‘mentioned which no longer contain deer, but since that book was pub- lished in 1867 several park stocked which did not th deer, and there are others in w the deer have been given up.—L Daily Graphic. | — R | | Aesop Up to Date.

Why Physicians Recommend Castoria ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, C pharmaceutical socicties and medical authorities. It is used by physi- cians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—Itis an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not con- tain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. Itis CHILDREN. Exact Copy of Wrapper, since its infancy.

Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignbrance ought to end. To our knowl- edge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall’s Journal of Health. Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. H.,says: “I use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family.” Dr. Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says : ** As the father of thir- teen children I certainly know something about your great medi- cine and aside from my own family experience, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. Howard Jimes, of New York, City, says : “*It is with great pleas- ure that T desire to testify to the medicinal virtue of your Castoria.

Halstead Scott, of Chica- g0, IIL, says : “I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land, Ohio, says : “ Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything thatso filled the place.” Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says : I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren’s troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but T always see that my patients get Fletcher’s.” Dr. Channing H. Cook, of Saint Louis, o., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years past iamy own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by chiidren, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most n.edi- cines of this char.cter are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything that I ever prescribed.” Dr. L. O. Morgan, of 8o. Amboy, N.J. suys: “I prescribe your Casto- ria every day for children who are suffering from constipation, with better effect than I receive from any other combination of drugs.” Dr. H. J. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: ‘I have used your Casto- ria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and priv- ate practice for many years. The formula is excellent,” Dr. Wm. L.

I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family.” Dr. F. H.
