Lake Shore dummy train, who resides
near Colehour, n. Y, was early on
Wednesday morning the victim of fiend-
ish trick. Being aroused by some one in
his house, he grasped revolver and be-
gan investigations, when a tin cup full of
yitriol was thrown into his face, from
which he suffers terribly. He seems to
know the cause of the crime.
WHAT will doubtless prove to be an in
surance swindle has been developed at
Fillmore, Mo-, by the exhumation of the
coffin of James Riggan, who was said to
have committed suicide at North Platte,
Neb. The casket contained only Nebraska
sand, and the insurance policy was large
enough to force contest from the com
panies interested.

THE New York Tribune's London
correspondent telegraphs that there is
knowledge of the existence OF Irish
plots to destroy Woolwich, Plymoth,
and Hyde Park magazine and Windsor
Castle. In all these plccs the guard
has been doubled, and a strong force
of troops has been dispatched to defend
them, the police having full informal
ton of murderous designs. These re-
ports stimulate the anti-Irish feeling
throughout England and in parliament,
and are probably gotten up for that
purpose.

A Volcano by NIGHT

a correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives an account of the erup-
ton of Manua Loa, the only active vol
cano of the Sandwich islands: Describ-
ing the striking scene by night, he says:
A great smoke highly Illuminated, was
ascending over the southern slope of
Manua Loa, in the direction of Kill
auea. The clouds to the west of the
mountain We're almost aflame with light
reflected from the Kau flow, which
could not pc seen from this point.
Right in ourf faces, with not cloud to
obstruct our view, was the burning
mountain side. In the summit crater
the dense smoke, glowing with the light
of the molten material, was surging
back and forth like pillows of fire,
while now ard then a small fountain of
lava would be thrown above the level
of the brink, showing what a boiling,
seething mass was below. Lower down
were immense pits and openings, in
which the liquid lava itself could be
seen moving as though endeavoring to
break down the walls between, and
gather its forces for more destructive
work; while in various directions deep
assures could be marked by the spots
of light that were probably openings
in the crust above the fissure. One of
these was particularly striking, it being
a long line of faint lights from the sum
NIT, terminating in great ball of
burning lava, as though an evil eye
from the internal regions were glaring
at us across the black distance. Still
lower down and moving along the flank
of the mountain, at a very slight angle
of declination, was moder ately sized
lava flow that has since attained con-
siderable proportions. 1t was without
doubt five miles in length, and rs the
lava seemed to accumulate in a small
lake, | watched it all night, thinking it
might burst out III large stream di-
rectly down the mountain side. But
my vigils were futile, and the day came,
and with it hard tramp across the old
lavas to the new flow.

The Eject. OF Mental Exhaustien

Many diseases, especially those of the nervou.
system, are the products of daily renewed mental
exhaustion. Business avoeations often involve an
amount of wear and tear very prejndicisl to ply
steal health and the professions if arduousy pnr-
sued are no less destructive to brain and nerve
tissue. 1t is one of the NEST important attributes
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters that it eompen-
safes for this undue less of tissue aud that it inn
parts new energy to the brain and nerves. The
rapidly with which it renews weakened mental
energy and physical vitality is remarkable, and
shows that its invigorating properties are of the
highest order. Besides increasing vital stamina,
and counteracting the effects Of mental exhaus-
ton, this potential medicine cures and prevents
fever and ague, rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia
and constipation, kidney and uterine weakness and
other complaints. Physicians also commend il as

Put all into common sized teacup,
or vessel which holds about four
ounces, and pour half full of boiling
water, stir it well and then fill up with
good vinegar. Fit for use when it set

stick about the size of pipe stem,
notch one end and wrap string Of
cotton cloth around it. letting the
cloth project a half an inch beyond the
end of the stick, so as not to jag the
mouth and throat, and then tie it on
with strong thread.
Swab the mouth and throat well
every half hour if the case is bad.
When the patient gets better, every
two hours then when better. every
four hours, and when still better, two
or three times a day, till well, which
will be from two to seven days. Touch
every affected spot, the uvula, tonsils,
and fauces, the whole Of the back part
of the mouth, and top of the throat,
and let the patient swallow little of
the wash each time you swab. Swab-
bling causes no pain, though the
patient will gag, and sometimes
vomit, but swab we'll and feeling
of relief will follow every swabbing,
Let every patient have a separate
swab and wash, as the disease is I'M
doubtedly infectious. Keep the wash
pure, pouring what you use each time
into another vessel, and also wipe off
any matter or slime that may accumu-

zen. Franklin's Papers for Sale.

Secretary Evarts has communicated
to the house of representatives letter
from Benz. F. Stevens, despatch agent
of the United States at London stating
that he is authorized to sell to the
state department the Henry Stevens
Franklin collection of manuscripts and
books. The manuscripts are the
original papers, relating chiefly to pub
lie affairs, bequeathed by Benjamin
Franklin to his grandson, William
Temple Franklin. Among the manu-
scrips are the original records of Frank
Inns negotiations and official CORES
pondence in Europe from 1775 to 1875,
covering the time of his efforts toward
the raising ofmoney for the support of
the government oft the United States
and the pay of its troops during the
years 1916 to ITS, the recognition of

peace which ended with treaty. The
papers also include the original petition
of the Continental congress to George
III. in IVA, signed by all the delegates.
The price asked for collection is 5000

PrOmptness.

Among the qualities needed in busi-
ness. and in all work of whatever kind,
is the quality of promptness. He who
is always a little behind time can never
win the highest success. He is con-
stantly trying to catch up with himself.
and has neither the strength nor the
opportunity to make the most rapid ad-
vance.
Sydney Smith has well and wittily
said: ..In order to do anything i'm this
world that is worth doing. we must not
stand shivering on the bank, thinking of
the cold and the danger, but Jump in
and scramble through as well as we can.
1t will not do to be perpetually calculat-
ing and adjusting nice chances. 1t did
ali very well before the Hood, when a
man could consult his friends upon an
intended publication for hundred and
fifty years. and then live to see its sue
cess for six or seven centuries after
wsrd; but at present man doubts, and
waits, and hesitates, and consults his
brother, and his uncle, and his first
cousins, and his particular friends, till
one day he finds that he is sixty-iive
wears of age-that he has lost so much
time in consulting his first cousins and
particular friends that he has no time
left to follow their advice"
Napoleon was one of the most prompt
of commanders. ''It was exceedingly
dangerous" said his antagonist, the
Duke of Wellington, Ito make mis-
take in campaign against him. He
instantly saw it, and Immediately
availed himself of the advantages it
offered"
In business. in scholarship, in states

ready when the occasion demands. He

Things Money Can't Do.

Some boys and girls have an idea
| that money can do almost anything,
| but this is a mistake. Money. it Is
true, can do a great deal, but it cannot
do everything. l could name you
thousand things it cannot buy. 1t was
meant for good, and it is q good thing
| to have, but all this depends on how it
is used. If used wrongly, it is an in.
iurv rather than a benefit. Beyond all
doubt, however, there are many things
better than it is, and which it cannot
purchase, no matter how much we may
| have of it.
If man has not a good education,
all his money cannot buy it for him.
He can scarcely ever make up for h
early waste of opportunities. de may
| say, as / have heard men saying: 81
would give all l have if L only had a
good education and n well-trained
mind; but he will say it in vain. His
money alone can't obtain it.
Neither will wealth itself give man
or woman good manners. Nothing.
next to good health, is of more import
ance than easy. graceful, self-possessed
manners. But they can't be had for
mere money.
A man who is what is called ''shod-
dy," who has not taste and correct
manners, will never buy them, though
he would, no doubt. like it. Thes are
not to be had in the market. They
are nowhere for sale. You might as
well try to buy sky, or cloud, or sun
beams.
Money can't purchase good con-
science. If poor man, or boy, or q
girl-any one-has clear conscience
that gives off tone like sound bell
when touched by the hammer, then be
sure he is vastly richer than the mill
ionaire who does not possess such a
conscience. Good principles are better
than gold. All the gold of Golconda
couldn't buy them for man who
hasn't them already. Church Union.

Ole BULBS UtOpian Venture.

In the mountains of Pennsylvania are
the remains of three small villages that
have an interesting history. About
twenty-five years ago Ole Bull, the
great violinist, went far back from the
frontiers of civilization, and endeavorcd
to start Norwegian colony in these
mountains. He purchased forty square
miles of land, and brought over from
Norway five or six hundred of his coun-
trymcn to make settlement. The ex-
pertinent was failure. The houses
built by the settlers have nearly all
tumbled down, the clearings have grown
up with bushes, and the inhabitants
have sought homes elsewhere, many of
them returning to their native land. dis
gusted with their experience in the
New World. The principal of these
towns was Oleona, which was to have
been the capital of the new territory
that Ole Bull intended to govern, ard
near which he built his castle. He built
a hotel with a music hall attached,
where free concerts were given. but the
scheme was a failure, and the disap-
pointment Of the originator was great.
He buried himself in the solitude of the
mountains for nearly two years. At
last came an end to his Utopian dream,
and he left his castle on the hill, and
went to the old country to resume his
successful career as violinist, and, no
doubt, the public has reason to be
thankful that his attempt to found a
colony was unsuccessful. Men who
lived there with Ole Bull say that when
in trouble he would go to his violin,
and, taking it up silently. would play
such wild music as was never heard ex-
cept in his castle on the mountain.
There is story, too, that the night be-
fore he left his forest home he took a
favorite violin. and. after playing long
time in a sad. half-crazy way, broke its
strings and buried it on the mountain
at midnight. How much truth there
may be in the many stories told by the
imaginative inhabitants cannot be dis
covered, but Ole Bull evidently did
some strangs things in his famous cas-
tie, and they have grown more strange
and wonderful since his DEATH IN
