HONOR FROM EUROPE. 1t is conceded
on all sides that DR.. Ayers Pills are
above comparison with other medicines.
Uniting the best elements known to the
chemist they are particularly effective
against the numerous stomachic disord
ers for which they are recommended as 9
cure. These pills are so mild, yet search
ing, that they are often prescribed by
doctors who otherwise do not favor pat
ent medicines. Indeed, with the fruits
of DR.. Ayers genius in the shape of Pills,

Our Village Schools.

School began, for the summer term,
Monday April, 2sth. with an enrolment
of one hundred and six: Grammar school

Primary torty-one. The attendance for
the week was quite regular. Owing to
the prevalence of diptheria and other
diseases among the children, the attend
ance during the winter term was quite
irregular and consequently the work Of
the school somewhat interfered with.
Quite a number of the older pupils are
prepared to take up high school studies
and an examination will be held within
the present month for the purpose of de-

high school classes. Efforts were made
earlier in the year to have this examina.

of Redwood Falls contains some good
material and some of it should be Undue

The process is as fellows: He takes

ally manufactured al any paper mill
for the purpose. As many sheets are
taken az are required to make the
thickness of lumber desired. These
sheets are passed through a chemical
solution which thoroughly softens up
the fibre and completely saturates 1t.
The whole is then passed through
succession of rollers, dried and hard
ened during the passage, as well as
polished, and then comes out of the
other end of the. machine hard, dry
lumber ready for use. The inventor
claims that the chemical properties
hardening the fibre. entirely prevent
water soaking, and rendering the lum-
Der combustible only in very hot fire.
The hardened finish on the outside
also makes it impervious to water.

Discovery and Exploration Of .
Wonderful Hole In tho Ground
Near Nashville.
NASHVILLE, TENN, July 13.-News
reached this city few days ago of the
discovery of a new cave at Newsom's
Station, seventeen miles out ON the
North western Railroad. Many were
inclined to doubt the truth of the re.
port and the wonderful accounts Of
the interior. Yesterday, with four of
the neighboring farmers, newspaper
representative made visit to the cave
and a lengthy exploration. It is about
mile up the road from Newsom's, on
the farm of Mr.. Hutton. The en-
trance opens ON a rough country road
running around the foot of an i'm
mense hill four or five hundred feet
high. The opening is about four feet
by two, and is almost cOyered by a
large bowlder. Two men passing
along the road noticed the hole, aud
through curiosity enlarged it sufIic-
iently to admit Of passage and explor-
ed the cave some distance. They re.
ported their find at the Station, and
in day or two parties for miles came
to see the wonder. 5ai
To-day the exploration was made
under most favorable auspices. Pre-.
pairing themselves with lanteras, can.
dies and ropes, the party Of five start
ed on the expedition. For seventy
i've yards the passage was so email
that they had to crawl on all fours.
Then it grew larger, widening into
large chambers, the roofs of which
could not be seen nor struck with
rocks thrown upward. All along the
sides were beautiful formations, white
and sparkling in the dim light. A
mile from the entrance there was q
fork in the passage, one branch lead.
ing north and tho other south. Sc
lecting the northern route fret the
party proceeded something oyer a
mile, when they came to what seemed
to be the end. All along walking was
easy, and no idea could be formed as
to how high the roof was in places.
Retracing their steps they next took
the southern passage. A mile from
the fork it also divided into two
branches. Taking tho right-hand
branch, the explorers advanced some
distance, coming at last to . large lake
of the coldest and sweetest water. No
attempt was made to proceed beyond
this, but going back they started on
the left branch. which they explored
nearly q mile without fnding any
prospect of an end. The further they
advanced in the wider and larger was
the passage and the more frequent the
chambers. The finest formation of
stalactites was found in the utmost
profusion. Several specimens were
broken off and brought to the city.
The rooms were immense in size and
weird IN outline, fantastic formations
being scattered over the, floor and
along the walls. frequently running
streams of water were crossed, re-
markable for their almost more than
ICY coldness. This was the third par.
ty that had gone any distance in the
cave, and all who had been to the
Mammoth Cave declared that this
wonder rivaled it.
Some two hundred yards up the
road there is another cave, discovered
during the war. Ithas large entrance

DR.. WOODBRIDGE thus describes q
sun dance recently given by the Sioux
in Montana. There were about 5000
Indians present. the dance, which
took place in an arena 15O feet in dia-
ameter, enclosed by willow branches,
lasting % hours. During the time
the Indians feasted on 40 dogs, large
quantities of buffalo meat, and delica-
cies, while the participants in the
dance subjected themselves to horri-
BILE torture, such as having buffalo
heads suspended from slits cut in their
flesh, the weight of which constantly
increased the laceration. Some of the
braves tainted, and many had from so
to 200 pieces cut out of the living
flesh. Others were held to stakes,
about which they were forced to
dance, by cords fastened to their back.
The performance was varied by pray
ers to the Great Spirit for success at
the chase.
