From Despair to GIadness.

Mr.. Giles Carter, well known citizen o Roch-
ester, n Y. has just given the following card to
the public: For about two years my wife has been
troubled with something and we could not i'm
aglne what: she had frequent flashes of heat,
followed by severe sweats, both night and day;
her back troubled her great deal, and any exer-
ton seemed to utterly PROSTATE her She drank
large quantities of water without seeming 10
quench her thirst in the least, and kept getting
worse and worse ali the time. We employed the
services of physician, but without benefit, not
even learning what was the matter with her.
Finally, noticing popularity in her urine | had
1t examined, by boiling reduced it to n0LdSSes,
about half in quantity to the amount of water
used. at once wrote to her brother, a physician
in the East who pronounced it "Sugar" or
(SaccharineJ Diabetes. He said he knew of no
cure for it, and that she probably could not get
well; that she might live for a few years, but
would get worse and worse all the time.
At this time, and when we were in despair
saw Warmers Safe Diabetes Cure advertised, pur-
chased bottle and my wife has continued using
1t until she is now perfectly cured and as well
she has been in years. consider Warmers Safe
Diabetes Cure q blessing and boon to humanity.

Remarkable Cures of Kidney Diseases.

told me he was using the third package. and that
the night before he laid all night without getting
up to make water, a thing he had not done before
for more than fifteen wears. He says ii has done
more for him than all he has ever taken before,
and he has paid out more than thousand dollars
for medicine 1t is evident from these facts, that

New YOrk'S Mosquito Curse.
Correspondence Rochester Democrat.

Seldom has it been felt to greater
degree than during the present season.
On Staten Island they have appeared
IN immense numbers, and have been
known to suddenly take possession of a
house and break up a dinner party.
One evening long cloud appeared ris-
ing out of the swampy shore near the
city, and it proved to be entirely COM
posed of mosquitoes. Naturalists say
that the lancets which this insect us es
are as sharp as needles. Experience.
however, teaches us this better than
the naturalists. The scourge thus suf-
fered is beyond all description. and
even the use of mosquito bars does
not always afford protection. A friend
of the writer who lives in the lower
part of Brooklyn found that, though
the windows We're fenced with the
above mentioned protection, the an
nOyance was still undated On close
examination he discovered the horrid
insects appearing from behind picture
which hung against an Orifice in the
chimney. This mode of entrance Ger
talnly showed great power Of instinct
The immense numbers Of these insects
suggest that they find it difficult to
pick up Il living, and hence it is a great
piece of luck to get square meal of
fresh blood. They, no doubt. suffer
the consequences of over population
but what consequences do they not oc-
cation to others? Wherever one NAV
go, the mosquito is ready for attack.
The difference in the mosquito season
is variously explained, but, no doubt.
the intense hot weather is favorable,
while the incessant destruction of in
sect-consuming birds increases the
nuisance.

young ladies employed in the Rochest-
er Telephone exchange, opened the
circuit to aswer a call, there came a
binding flash of lightning, and Miss
Bassett lay insensible upon the floor
She suffered severely for some time and
temporarily lost her eyesight, but has
now fully recovered.
An advertisement appeared in Phil
adelph1a for "a young man as ticket
seller to travel with a variety troupe"
The hundreds of applicants were each
told that an advance of 81 to buy a
ticket to Boston, where the company
was to gather, would be necessary.
After collecting a large amount of
money in this way the swindlers fled.
In one ofthe Rondout, \. Y. churches
on recent Sunday, the supply, a min
lster from New York, after listening to
the fine singing of an anthem, said:
Now that the choir have had their lit
tie fun, we will commence the worship
OF God by singing the 91lth hymn"
The queerest feature of Salt Lake life
to the stranger is the habit which seems
to attach to the people of speaking in
low tone. If man has anything to
say to another, he draws up close and
makes the statement in d whispering
voice. 1t is as though Years had been
spent in the atmosphere of spies, and
men no longer felt safe to say anything
aloud.
James Gordon Bennett. Jr., owner of
the New York Herald is no longer a

America for happiness does not seem to

Mrs j. V. Alexander, of Big Sandy.
Tex, found that her II month-old i'll

ing behind the door an unusual time,
she looked for it, and was Mortified to
see the child patting a very large black
snake upon the head and dividing its
bread with it, and the reptile showing
its appreciation by wagging It's tail. The
snake came into the room from hole

Navarro county, Texas, has popu-
lation OFF,, 900, composed ofimmigrants
from nearly all the western states, some
of the New England, and all the south
ern states. The people are Industrious,
polite and hospitable. They come to
make homes and always welcome a
stranger who strives to secure their re-
spect. Heretofore, there has been some
difficulty about educating their children,
but now nearly every neighbOrhood has
its schoolhOuse and church, and good
teachers are secured regardless of ex-
pense.

New Street Solicitations.
London Daily News.

The little town of Freiburg, famous
for its university, and more famous still
for its beautiful cathedral, whose spire
almost rivals Strasburg III height, is at
present the scene of a strange crusade.
1t is a struggle to put down an old fash
ion and substitute new one, and the
curious element in the case is that the
innOvators are the professors of the old
university. Every one who knows the
German nation knows the fOndness for
the ceremonial of street salutatiOns.
The friendly nod by which an English
man condenses a great deal of meaning
into a very slight gesture Is quite for
elgn to the steady salute of two gOssips
meeting in Il German street. We are
content to raise our hats to ladies and
crowned heads, and are a little intol-
Grant of the Difference of continental
usage. The professors of the Fret
burg university are for substituting the
English fashion, or at least for modify
ing it to German notions. They pro-
pose that in future the military be sub
stituted for the civil salute, and that
two fingers should touch the brow, in
stead of the whole head being uncov-
cred when friends happen to meet. 1t
seems strange that of all persons i'll so
ciety university dons should be the in
stigators of a movement against what
is called in university towns Gaping"
But it is stranger to learn that the Fret
burg professors, bent on carrying their
point, have applied to the municipal
council for support. The Burgomaster
has considered the point, and he and
the local doctors, who take a hygienic
view of the question, are resolved that
at one town in Germany the bonnet
should be for its right use, which, as
Hamlet told Osric some centuries ago,
is for the head=nOt for the hand.

Why the Cash of Boston BamE Was
Short

Says the Boston Journal: Zone of
the Boston national banks was 5000
short i'll its cash account the other day,
and all attempts to trace the missing
money were for the time unavailing.
A day or two later a teamstcr living in
Mattapan came to the window and
asked the teller if they corrected mis-
takes. He was told, when i'll error
we do" He then passed over a 81 900
BILL remarking that he only owed 500
of it. He had drawn check of about
$500 two days before, and did not dis
cover the teller's mistake until he
reached home. The bank presented
him with $50 for his trouble.

Girls, when your mothers attempt to
give you taffy, by coaxing to learn to
cook, think of that young lady of Chi
cago who took cooking lessons, and the
night before she was to be married
fried soft, shell crabs for her Adolphus.
The hot fat spattered in her face and
she had to be painted before she could
be married. It's the fat we warn you
against, for it would be useless to say
any thing against the painting.
