pit, also, during the funeral. MI.
Schultz made some very strange re-
marks during his discourse. He spoke
of his associations among young ladies,
and his various acquaintance, bring
ing in illusions very foreign to funer
al discourse. DR.. Bausman interrupt
ed the young minister, and the sermon
was speedily closed.
The Rev. Mr.. Schultz then went to
his boarding house and became like
person out of his mind. He made all
sorts of ridiculous requests: piled the
floor of his study high with books, and
requested his friends to make prepa-
rations for the coming of seven minis
tiers. This evening he ran out of the
house, and coming down town, got into
an alteration with number of roughs
who did not know him. He was very
beligerent, and was soon kicked into
the gutter by a fisherman. The minis
ter was severely beaten, and among
other injuries received blow on the
head from a billy.
After his identity was established at
the station, Mr.. Schultz was carried
home His rooms were found to be in
terrible disorder. He had smashed all
the furniture, pictures, ornaments, and
other decorations. His watch, eye
glasses, and slippers were found among
the debris. Moreover, he had played
havoc throughout the entire house
during the absence of the family
At a late hour tonight he was still
unconscious from the effect of the
blow he received on the head from the
billy in the hands of one the men he
attacked on the street. It is learned
that during his discourse at the funer-
al he alluded toseveral carriage drives
he had with several lady friends The
assembled mOurners were shocked,
and a number rose and went out.
Finally his rambling discourse was
stopped. Mrs. Gehman, with whom
Mr.. Schultz boarded, says that when
she came home and found the minister
in his frenzy he chased her and a
neighbor, a woman, quite a distance,
and struck at her with stick He then
ran back, and meeting man on the
sidewalk, the minister knocked him
clean into the gutter. Mr.. Schultz at
tackled q number Of inofensive people,
battering them considerably. Finally
he encountered the gang of roughs,
who treated him as said. At late
hour tonight he was not expected to
recover.
This recalls similar occurrence in
which a clergyman was concerned. In
Laurinburg, N. c., on the 9th inst,
Miss Alice Skirr, one of the beauties Of
the place, became raving maniac on
account of the action of her lover, a
young clergyman the Rev. John Rat
terling He recently determined to go
to China as a missionary. She refused
to go with him, and when he announc-
ed his intention to go without her she
became insane.

Poisoned Atmosphere.

And poisoned water, having lost their purity and
become contaminated with the rank effuvium and
noxious soluble products of decaying vegetation,
breed not only malaria in its various FORMS but
give rise to disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, always Of dangerous character. No an
tidote to malarial poison has yet been discovered
which has so signally demonstrated its remedial
value Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which breaks
up the worst paroxysms of fever and ague and
bilious remittents and prevents the first attacks,
or a recurrence of these and kindred malarial dis
orders. As a stomachic and general tonic. as n
recupcrant of vital energy and as restorative of
bilious regularity, active secretion and healthy
habit of body, this preparation is unrivalled.
Throughout those portions Of the United States
and in tropical countries where such disorders arc
prevalent, it is regarded as a standard anti-ma-
larial snpcific.

BabY,S Bow Legs.

These need not cause anxiety in all
cases. If the child is healthy. and has
good, nourishing food and pure air
the two great essentials for making pure
blood-it will probably outgrow its bow
legs naturally enough as its strength in
creases. Rubbing the legs with your
hand in the .morning may help to
strengthen and straighten them, hold
ing them straight as you rub them. If
the case is pretty bad, the two legs may
be bound together with comfortable
bandages during sleep. rubbing them
well before and after binding them. If
the child is still quite young, it may be
kept from standing on its feet for few
months, giving nature time to straighten
the crookedness while the limbs are
growing stronger. A carriage and high
chair are helps towards carrying out
this plan. All the things that have
been mentioned as curative agencies
may well be used us preventives. A
healthy child, with wholesome food,
and pure air to breathe, if kept from
standing and walking while too young
and weak, will not have bow legs.
Scrofulous children are more likely to
suffer in this way, and those that are
very fleshy. Don't take pride in your
fat baby. Excess of fat is really dis
case instead of a sign of health. Fatten
your pigs as much as you fancy, but do
not deliberately fatten your children.
Give them plenty of good growing food.
and they will be plump enough for
symmetry and not too heavy for COM
Portable activity. 1t is no wonder that
the little legs bend under the heavy
weight of some fat little toddlers. Such
children should not be encouraged to
stand or walk until they nave grown
strong enough to do so of their own ac-
cord. and then should not be allowed
to walk too much.

manure, as well as of animal matter in
all stages of decomposition. Rabbits,
rats, mice and various sorts OF reptiles
are not unfrequently drowned in wells
and remain there for many months.
The location of most wells that supply
water for household purposes is most
unfavorable for the purity of their con-
tents. They are, in many cases, near
the center of space that has an out
house, pig-pen, cow-yard and the outlet
of sink-spout on the several corners.
There is no drain for carrying of the
surplus water, saturated, as it is, with
every variety of filth. The earth through
which the well passes may be tenacious
clay and in that instance it may be so
nearly impervious to moisture that little
of the surface water, with the various
substances dissolved in it, ever enters
it. In many cases, however, the earth
through which the well passes is sand,
or largely composed of sand and gravel,
which allows surface water to pass
through it with the greatest readiness.
The location of wells from which
water is drawn for the supply of dOmeS-
tic animals is infnitel y worse than that
of wells for furnishing water for human
beings. These wells are ordinarily in
some portion of the barnyard and are
often in che center of it. On every side
Of them are pools of stagnant surface
water-the washings of the barnYard.
The walls, platforms and curbings OF
these wells receive less attention than
those Of the wells from which water is
obtained for the use of the household.
The well from which water is drawn
for stock is rarely cleaned out till the
water it furnishes becomes so vile that
animals will not drink it unless they are
compelled to do so by being deprived
from access to a well or stream.
Still this water becomes converted
into milk, which, as q matter of course,
contains all the impurities taken up by
the COWS with their drink. These I'M
purities pass into cream and from that
into butter. This being the case, it
should be no marvel that most OF the
butter made on farms, and especially
that made during the season that COWS
are kept in close quarters, has an un-
pleasant odor and flavor. The wonder
is that its taste and smell do not cause
it to be rejected altogether as an article
of food. 1t is quite time that the inter
est in the matter Of the water supply,
that has been recently awakened in
large cities, should extend to farms
from which the people of towns obtain
their supply of food. Not only the peo-
pie who live on farms, but those who
reside in cities, are interested in the
matter of pure water in the country

Fraud in Coins.

"God hath made man upright" said
the preacher, "but they have sought
out many inventions" If the wise King
had lived in these days he would have
found in the devices of Swindlers illus
trations of mans "many inventions"
The amount of punched" silver
coins in circulation shows that some
body is stealing from the money that
belongs to the people. Silver dollars,
half dollars and quarters are frequently
given in change, in which holes have
been made so that from ten to fifteen
per cent. of the metal has been punched
out. One hundred silver dollars thus
mutilated pay the swindler at least ten
dollars for two or three hours work.
These "punched" coins are taken at
restaurants and retail stores when Of
fered by regular customers. The per-
sons who take them pass them off on
other customers. The banks refuse to
receive them. Out Of three thousand
dollars in silver sent to New York
broker, sixty-seven dollars were found
mutilated The simple remedy for the
prevention of this crime is for every
body to refuse to receive a mutilated
coin. Then the swindler will find his
occupation gone. As no one but an
ignorant person would receive a gold
coin with hole in it, unless at a dis
count, the swindlers do not mutilate
cold eagles, half eagles, or quarters,
But they tamper with them in other
ways. A new twenty-dollar gold piece
weighs five hundred and sixteen grains.
The minimum weight at which they are
received by the Government is one-half
of one per cent. less, which is the al
lowance made for legitimate wear. The
swindlers take advantage of this fact.
They buy new gold coins, shake them
up in buckskin bag and thus wear
them down. Then by burning the bag
in a crucible they get the gold that has
been rubbed Off by the shaking. Some
times they bore hole into five dollar
piece from the edge and taking out the
gold insert a copper wire. The coin is
of the true weight, but it will not ring.
Another mode of operating is to take
off one face of a twenty dollar gold
piece and bore out the gold until mere
Shell remains. 1t is then filled with
platinum, the other face added, and the
edges remilled. Only a first-class ex-
pert can recognize these coins, which
pay the swindlers about sixteen dollars
for each twenty dollar piece thus ma
nipulated. Youths COntpa1liOn.
