satisfactory Improvement by natural forces,
and where artificial means, such a. blasting
and dredging, are called in as aids, the diff
culties and expenses are largely increased.
The opinion is expressed that from Cairo
to st. Louis these impediments do not exist,
and the theory Of channel improvement
recommended for the river below Cairo
can be applied as far as St. Louis;
that above this point the most serious
difficulties will be encountered. The mem
beers of the Commission who have been in
communication with the Department, either
by letter or in person, favor active work
during the present season to cover the entire
river, SO as to be prepared to submit COM
prehensive report to Congress in December,
and thus close up their entire work against
probable contingency.

DIR. TANNER, of Minneapolis, who
claims to have accomplished the apparently
miraculous feat of going forty days and
nights without food, has submitted himself
to committee of eminent physicians in New
York City, who purpose testing his alleged
powers of prolonged fasting under the most
severe restrictions and with all the safe
guards that medical science can suggest.
The trial began at noon on June %. He was
first carefully weighed, his own clothing re-
moved, mis- person carefully inspected, and
other garments given him to wear. He is to
be under the constant personal supervision
Of one or more physicians, and the water
given him to drink is to be carefully tested
to guard against the Introduction Of any ali-
mentary substance.

4 Man of Nerve.

A thrilling accident occurred at the Amer
lean Iron Works, Pittsburg, the other day
While Robert Moore was at work at his rolls
his catcher failed to seize with lis tongs a
bar Of white hot iron, which had been placed
between rolls. The iron twisted itself thrice
around the roll, forming o collar" The
catcher struck the iron, when there flew off
piece in the shape of q ring, with stem
90 inches long running off at right angles to
the circle. The band few back and fell
around Mooris head, resting on his shoulders.
Quick rs thought he grabbed the long stem
with his tongs and the white hot ring with
his hand, and with steady nerve and gentle
movement lifted the fiery thing from his
shoulders. His face was badly burned and
the flesh on his hand was cut into the bone
After the iron had cooled he put the ring
over his head. 1t was but two inches larger
in diameter than his head.

better than 40 or 50 words per minute. The

Remedy for Diphtheria.

Inc recent diphtherial cases reported in th
HERALD have reached the eve of q lad
reader, Mrs. B. F. Sandes of Grinnell. low,
who takes pains to send us the letter printe,
below, clipped from the Plattsburg, N. Y
Republican:
MR. EDITOR: Allow me to say q few
words OF the greatest importance to the pub
llc' through your journal, in regard to tn,
terrible disease, diphtheria, which is raging
with great destruction of lives thrcughou,
the country. 1t has prevailed here to fear
ful extent, quite large number of cases prov.
ing fatal
There is a family by the name of Light
mlllers, who moved here from Rochester this
season. AIRS. Light said to some of her neigh
DOTS that recently she had an attack of diph-
liberia and cured herself by using kerosine
OIL as gargle, and swallowing some. The
remedy Wasso simple that our citizens didn't
think anything Of it until five of ,Josenh
Jelley's children were taken down with the
disease. Their throats became swollen and
cankered terribly. Mrs. Jelley sent after her
nelghbor, Mrs. Millette, who had lately lost
her son by the disease to ascertain whether
1t was really diphtheria or not. Mrs. Millette
pronounced it diphtheria in a very danger
GUS form. Mrs. Jclley said she would use
Mrs. Lights remedy, kerosine oil, which she
gave her children as q gargle, and also had
them swallow some. The children recovered
rapidly, and in few days were out in the
street
Another neighbor, by the name of Lusia,
railroad track-master at this place, had three
children i'll with diphtheria, and cured them
with kerosine OIL
William Emery had four children taken
down; he gave them the same treatment and |
they recovered.
Robert Gillette was taken with it. and |
cured himself with kerosine oil.
John Reynolds, Of Ingraham had q daugh-
ter and niece cured by using the oil. after
they had been given up for dead by the
DOCTOR
What is most astonishing is that no case
las proved fatal when this remedy has been
lsed. 1t is simple, cheap and always at
land i'll all families throughout the land"
Mrs. Sandes adds to the foregoing testi-
nony: know kerosinc oil is valuable in
iphtheria, and believe the above may be
rue"
