SUMPTION. How many of us can date
the cause of our last sickness to either
a crowded room, and then coming out
in the cold air, or wearing damp
clothes, causing a cough which settles
upon the lungs, producing seated pains
in the chest. A good remedy to have
at hand is Aliens Lung Belsam. 1t

to the system, II only used in time.
Remember and call at the Drug Store
for Aliens Lung Balsam. Every fam

AurOraI Phenomenon.

AtPoughkeepsie last night at quarter
to ten, two distinct auroral rings We're
visible in the heavens. The first en-
circled the moon, the second tapping
toward the first and stretching toward
the northern horizon. The northeast
ern edge of the second shone brightly.
and at times dim waves OF auroral light
flashed overall. Both rings were trans
parent, and the stars were very plainly
visible through them. The spectacle
lasted about twenty minutes, and then
gradually faded from view The ring
around the moon was apparently 200
feet in diameter, and its mate 800.
The sky was perfectly clear.

ST. CRIsPIN never had a more ingenious
follower than james A. Hamilton, whose re.
cent escape from Pennsylvania prison is
the most marvellous work on record. Ham
ilton was an old prison bird, and one of the
most dangerous convicts in the Lancaster
prison. Assigned to a solitary "iron-clad"
cell, he was set to work at shoe making.
Some time ago he complained that his bench
was too low, and asked for couple of short
pine planks to put under the legs to raise it a
few inches. For weeks he worked under
these boards at night, cutting hole through
the floor, and in the daytime covered his
tracks with the boards. Having cut through
the flooring, he reached solid masonry. and
worked upon that with such success that,
eventually, enough was removed to admit The
passage OF his bvdy. Having cleared The ma
son work Of space foot thick and about
three feet broad, he att acked the solid prison
wall from his narrow crevice under the floor.
and although it was three feet thick, be made
a breach and passed safely through, and let
himself down Two stories by very thin but
exceedingly stout Shoe-thJ cad. Breaking in
to the washhouse and carpenter shop, he
procured a change of clothes and lumber to
construct ladder with which to pass over
the jai.yard WALL This ladder is a model of
ingenuity. None of the lumber was STOUT

slender pieces together with bed cord, and tied

the peculiarly shaped hole through which he
had escaped.
