had switched of to make brief stop, and James,
eludiDg the vigilance of his custodian, slipped
from the car, and, though pursued, effected his
escape The surgeon Immediately came into the
city and reportedThe circumstance at police he ad-
quarters, and several officers were accordingly
sent cut to hunt Tor the fugitive. In the mean
while James had wandered to Colgate's creek and

For Thirty years there has been noimprovement
in the composition Of porous plaster. The re-
cent discovery Of Capcine and its addition to an
improved porous plaster has introduced to the
consumers and the public an article Of progress.
The objection 10 the ordinary article is its slow
action. BENsoN's CArCISE Porous PLASTER
overcones this great objection by eifecting in
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster &C.
complishes in days and weeks Of continuous wear.
BENsoS's CAPCINE PORoUs PLAsTERs are pre-
ferred TO all others on the following grounds:
First-Their composition Is OF an improved na-
ture, and combined with the recently
discovered vegetable principle-Cap-
cine-which, as q powerful and unerring
specific, has never been equaled In the
history of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing yigor, bring almost i'm
mediate relief, and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than any
known plaster, liniment or compound.
Second-They possess sll the merit of the ordi.
nary porous plaster with above addition,
and will cure all the various difficulties
for which they have been esteemed in as
many hours as the ordinary article
effects in days and weeks Of continuous
wear.
Third--Tbey are a genuine pharmaceutical pre-
paratioD, skilliully combined, Of the
hig hest order OF merit, purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral
pOisons, indoTscd by physicians, and are
In no sense patent medicine.

How Coal-Oll Sellers Dsctiye.

Professor +. J. i55udreauy said recently in a
lecture at St. Louis, as reported by the Globe ::
"A good point. which was very much TO the sat-
isiaction Of the people, was made by the lecturer
concerning the pretensiOns of the men who travel
round the country selling preparations for pre-
venting explosions in cOa!-oil lamps. He said that
these men often removed the cover from an Oil
lamp and by taper exploded the little gas which
always remained On the surface of the OIL and
then, when that was gone put in their compound
and in vain endeaVOred to bring about an explo-
sion. 1t was clearly shown that the cause OF this
noR-eXplOsion was the absence OF gas. which had
all been burned al the rst explosion and req uired
some time gain TO !OEm in the vessel. lie also
declared the compounds in question TO be an un-
adulterated fraud, AID cautioned his audience
agains: having anything 10 do with them. since If
people believed IN their efficacy, the result was
probably with fatal results"
