JOHN DALTON, NAIL CARRIER.



In frontier town Of Nebraska lived
John Dalton. This name had fallen into
such a state of neglect and non-lse that il
would scarcely have been recognized by
the old associates of its lawful owner, and
even TO him, doubt not, would have
sounded strangely
He was better known. particularly on
the borders, as Captain Jack.
After his own simple fashion he was a
character with ahistory. His title he won
calamity. and wore easily. One day in
the Rocky Mountainsa small party of mi
ners, surrounded by an overpowering
number of Indians, retreated into can
yon. For three days and nights. with
little intermiss.on, the combat continued.
On the first day the leader of the gallant
little band fell. and Dalton, then a mere
youth. was selected on account of his cool
'deternllLed bravery, TO carry on the de-
tense.
When relief came, he was found behind
an extemporized barricade, at the entrance
Of the canyon. his companions either dead
or wounded, holding his post with des-
perate courage which would have abated
with death only.
His lines had not fallen in pleasant
places. He had been a participant and
leader in the wild scenes of adventure and
danger. which. like so many throes, at

words always carried weight. His life

bore the marks Of many struggles, but his
nature had escaped without blemish. A

Upon the recommendation of Schnee-

has been extensively practiced in Germany
during the past ten years. with the view Of
Lowering the temperature and fastening
the desquamation. DIR. Bayles suggests,
in this connection, the employment of
cocoa butter, "a producing a more cooling
and refreshing effect upon the patient. and
emitting a more agreeable odor in the sick
chamber. This agent. on account of its
solid consistencc. Is more readily applied
than either fat or oil. and is more easily
absorbed by the skin. Furthermore, IL is
thought 10 afford the system a certain
amount of nourishment.
In severe fevers, the entire surface of the

every hour. or at least once every four
hours. Its application Is also recommend
