It Saved his Life and in a Few Short Weeks he Was a Well Man, and his cure was wrought by Kickspoo Indien Sagwa only, the Greatest Diseovery the Medical World has ever Known.

for her: “its value is priceless,” she

says. Here is her !eiter in full:

Horrors of a Fire Room.

Daring the last voyage of the North German Lloyd steamship Spree, which arrived in porta few days ago,two of the stokers died from suffvcation in the fire-room,

The fire-rooms of some of the steam- ships are not, it is sail,what they ought to be, and there is room for considerable improvement in the line of ventilation and other matters. Air is supplied through a ventilator on deck, which is supposed to be turned to face the direc- tion of the wind. Sometimes this turn- ing is neglected. Then ensues a ter- rible state of things down below in the already overheated fire-room. The air becomes stifling, the unfortunate stok- ers gasping in vain for a breath of fresh air. Thesmeil of the oil and the abominable odor of the bilge water are enough to knock out the strongest man.

No pen can describle the horrors of life in the fire-room during these times, and the wonder is that scores of the stokers do not drop off instead of the few that are reported. The coal trimmers and coal passers are just as badly off as the strokers, having to obreathe the same poisonous atmosphere.

Another thing which makes the life of astoker a very unhappy one is the fact that the floor of the fire-room on which he stands is always red hot. The, floor which is composed of steel plates,retains the heat, nnd as a cousequence blisters the feet of the stokers, who can scarcely stand up at times, they are so much tor- tured in this respect.—New York Morn- ing Journal.

Explain This Miracie.

But I am concerned to press this mat- ter home to those who reject all miracle and all inspiration, and who deny that there is any world other than this material sphere of which we take cogni- zauce of our five senses ; and who afiirm that there are no intelligences with which man can communicate other than those he can see with his eye, hear with his ears, and touch with hishands. To them I would say, account for Jeanne d’Arc, Explain the miracle of the Maid of Or- leans! On her own hypothesis, which assumes the existence of a world which you deny, and of intelligences which you ignore, 1t is not difficult to account for what occurred, Some spirit, or spirits, of higher than mortal intelligence, with @ capacity more than human of seeing into the future, were in constant com- munication with her. She spoke their words and acted upon their counsel. We have, in short, not to deal with Jeanne d’Arc as a single personality, but Jeanne d’Arc inspired, divected and controlled by ahigher mind, or minds, of whose existence and whose influence upon her she was coustantly conscious. a that assumption, her bypothesis explains everything. But deny that assumption, and what remains? A manifest mira- cle, an inexplicable incredibility, in which, nevertheless, with the facts of history before us, we must believe.— *-Miracle of the Maid of Orleans,” Review of Reviews.

The Interval Dog.

The most exasperating vf atl unim-

unded canine nuisances is not the one that barks all night or howls till morn- ing. Itis what is known as the interval dog. It barks at intervals. It barks just anthe weary human being who lives next door is dropping into a sweet sleep. Then, the sleeper being thoroughly aroused, it is silent for a while. It

guesses exactly when the wretched be- |

ing will again attempt to slumber, and again explodes its bark. As often as the party in bed may try to catch on, the interval dog makes him let go. And 80 the night wears away and a savage, ill- natured citizens rises from that couch to snap and snarl throughout the day, as is he, too, were a dog.—-St. Louis Post-Dis- pe.tch,

The feasibility of laying an electric cable 500 miles in length slong the Colo- rado River, with which to drive small boats through the Biack Canyon and other svenic points, where cliffs over a mile in height overhang the stream, is being investigated. The poweris to »e generated by water wheels driven by the current of the river, or the water will be diverted into canals and dropped into the river again. A copper wire cable will be suspended over the center of the river, which is for the most part about 300 feet in width, and electric power will ve con- veyed to small boats similar to the man- ner of running electric railways. The idea is that this will become the most popular route for tourist travel. —St. Louis slobe-Democrat.

It is very important in this age of vast material progress that a remedy be pleas- ing to the taste and to the eye. easily taken, acceptable to the stomach and healthy in its nature and effects. Pos- sessing these qualities, Syrup of Figs is the one perfect laxative and most gentle diuretic known,

“Well, now, I don't know but what there might be something in this moon theory,” said the man with the tan shee . “The moon causes the rise and fall of the tides, vou know, and if it has an in- fluence on the water why shouldn’t it have on the land?’

“Not a bit of it,” snorted the chunky, man, “I tell you I have tested this thing an’ there's nothing in it.

Russian Barbariem.

A number of women, chiefly the wives of peasants, have been cited before one of the district judiciary courts of Sara- toff on the charge of creating a noctur- nal disturbance of the peace. Tle in- dictment goes to show that a certain village was being decimated by the spot- ted typhus, an epidemic disease less dreaded in Russia than the cholera. The women of another and neighbor- ing village, wishing to protect them- selves from infection. arranged a mid- night rendezvous, They first cat with a plough a furrow completely around the village. After this a procession was formed, which traversed the inner edye of the furrow. First came a woman carrying a domestic iron and chanting a prayer. The next carried the decorated sku!l and horns of an ox, The third came astride an oak sapling—as a boy would ride cock-horse, hind, in long single file, followed a number of women, singing a lialf heathenish exorcist dog- gerel. The accused, who will probably be punished with merely nominal fines, stoutiy maintain the efficacy of their preventive rites. It is noticeat e that whenever the women of a Russian village perform any of these supeist tious nocturnal ceremonies, the male inhabi- tants lie very ciose, ani have an in- stinctive dread of interfering or even witnessing the mysterious orgies, But the next day some recaicitrant husband generally sneaks away clandestinely to inform the Yuriadnik, The Bohemian Slav kindred of the Russians are equally superstitious. Some days , at a smal! place in the comitat of Arad, there were public rejoicings after the funeral of a reputed witch, These were shadowed by the startling intelligence that one of the merrymakers’ cows was bewitched, thus proving the posthumous evil power of the deceased. A stallion horse and rider were immediately hunted up to destroy the dead witch's further machina- tions by jumping across her grave. The horse shied and could not be induced to leap. Some of the village elders were then consulted, who advised the opening of the grave and the piercing of the woman's body with red-hot hay forks, and this was accordingly done,—Odessa Letter to London Daily News.

The Mother Grown Old,

Grown old, the mother is sometimes sorrowfully clear-sighted and freed from the b illusions of youth, When her children were little things playing about the door, and tucked inte at night, alleafe and sweet and rosy, she bad her dreams of their future. There was nothing too bright, too brave, too beautiful, for her imagination and ler hope as she looked at her darlings,asieep or waking. to school and to college, or into the shop and the counting-room, the mother sti’) dreamed and planned, still wove her enchanted etories, in the center of which she saw her children, heroes. professurs, scholars, benefactors, champions of the weak, defenders of the helpless, orna- ments of the , and renowed-to-be Her Frank, her Charles, her Sydney, whatever others might do, they were

bound to excel, to stand in the van, to | reap the rewards, to scale the heights, to | discover the iong-hidden secrets. | But there dawns a day upon the mother when, grown old, ss wrinkles and gray hairs testify, sie renews the wonderful keenness and acuteness of childhood ; she eees the drooping of | many masks; she comprehends things j}asthey sre. Past thehour of dream- ing and castle-building, past the clouds |}and the mirage, her vision is like that }of one of God's angels.—Harper’s Ba- | Zar.

Avoid all Injurious Habits,

Tea drinking is an injurious habit, and nervous people should be careful in the use of it. It is pot a food, it is nota tonic, and if drunk strong it may be as baneful in ite effects as brandy would be. Anyone who feels as if they were a bundle of nerves should give up both tea and tobacco, and use Membray’s Kidney and Liver Cure, which will help them to exist in comfort without them
