interrupted the Golden Wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs s. A. Guignon, which interesting event
was to have taken place at Ste. Genevieve.
Missouri, on the 18th. Their children and
grandchildren and many friends had gather
ed about them to offer congratulations at
the consummation of fifty years of conjugal
felicity and to give them presents and crown
the day with mirtk. Yet the bride of fifty
years. beautiful still as the day she swore
her heart away, shrank with strange pre-
monition from the festivities of that bright
dav, perhaps coloring the present and the
future with the past drea6ing to wake the
memory Of her lost ones in the village
churchyard hard by, when sure enough her
darkest apprehensions were realized in the

ACCORDING to the trustworthy Travel
erS' Magazine, man was travelling on a
"mixed train" freight, with passenger
car attached) on Western road, when
he went to the conductor and asked him
if he couldn't hurry up, as his wife was
sick, and he wanted to see her before
she died. The conductor said he was on
time. Again the man came to the con-
ductor and said he guessed his wife was
dead by that time, and he'd give the
conductor something extra if he'd get
there before the remains were so bad he
couldn't recognize her. The conductor
only grunted, and in a little while the
man again assailed him. If the wind
wasn't dead ahead, he said, he wished
he'd puton more steam, because he wished
to see where his wife was buried before
the tombstone crumbled to pieces. The
conductor gave him no satisfaction.
Then he begged him torattle along lit
tie because he had note coming due in
three months. The conductor threat
ened to lick him, and so the passenger
sat down and got to talking and laugh
ing with another man, soon forgetting
his worry. By and by the conductor
coming along said to him: Don't feel
so badly about your wife's death y"
"Time heals all wounds, sighed the
man. "And you are not so particular
about that note." sneered the conductor
"Not now. That's all right. Don't
worry. I've been figuring up, and 1
find that the note has outlawed since ]
spoke to you last !"

the school population OF the State.
These schools encounter many Difficult
ties from shortness and variation III
length of terms; irregular attendance ;
frequent changes of teachers; lack OF
information as to work done by former
teachers; diversity of text books; inef-
ficiency of teachers, indifference OF par
ents, etc. The Superintendent suggests
that proper classification and course of
study would do much toward correcting
the evils referred to, and inspire both
parents and teachers with more conf.
dence in the schools.
There are All graded schools in the
State-an increase of % over the num-
Der reported in 1880. There were Is, l51
more children in their population than
been augmented by 10, 800 pupils. About
Al per cent. of the pupils OF the public
schools are enrolled in this class, and
the average length of time during which
school was maintained in them was 81
months. In them the courses of study
are being adjusted more and more to adj
NIT of greater freedom in the choice of
branches, while the harmful tendency to
hasten over elementary work at the ex-
pense of thoroughness is diminishing.
The subjects of libraries, teachers in
stitutes, and educational funds are all
clearly set forth, and the various tables
present at glance the largest amount
of valuable statistics in regard to the ed

The Freezing Cure.

BY means of freezing, parts may be
rendered wholly insensible to pain, so
that slight surgical operations may be
easily performed. When the freezing is
long continued, the frozen parts may
lose their vitality entirely, which will
cause them to slough away. By this
means excrescences, as warts, wens and
polypi, fibrous and sebaceous tumors,
and even malignant tumors, as cancers,
may sometimes be cured by repeated
and long continued-freezing. Their
growth may certainly be impeded by
this means. A convenient mode of APP
plication in cancer of the breast is to
suspend from the neck rubber bag
filled with powdered ice, allowing it to
lie against the cancerous organ. Freez-
ing may be accomplished by applying a
spray of ether, by means of an atomizer,
or by a freezing mixture composed of
equal parts of pounded ice and salt.
Mix quickly, put into gauze bag, and
apply to the parts to be frozen. In three
to six minutes the skin will become white
and glistening, then the bag should be
removed. Freezing should not be con-
tinued longer than six minutes at time,
as the tissues may be harmed, though
usually no harm results from repeated
freezing, il some care is used in thawing
the frozen part. 1t should be kept i'm
mersed in cold water, or covered with
cloths kept cool by frequent wetting
with cold water, until the natural feel
ing is restored. Felons may often be
cured, especially when they first begin,
by freezing two or three times. Lum-
bago and sciatica, as we'll as other forms
of neuralgia, are sometimes almost in
stantly relieved by freezing OF the skin
Immediately above the painful part.
We have cured some of the most obsti-
nate cases of sciatica by this means,
after other remedies had failed.

The region on the west side of the
Mississippi. between Vicksburg and the
Gulf, gives good idea of the Egypt
through which the British will have to
operate from Alexandria. 1t has the
same feature of an annual rise of the
river above all the country, which there
begins in July, reaches its height in the
latter part of August, and subsidies
through the autumn months. 1t has
the same features of banks of the main
river and all the branching streams
higher than the country, with the addi-
ton of canals, and OF more complete
banks, so as to flood the lands at will.
All these may be made the means of
obstruction and defense.

AN Ohio farmer having lost all his
savings swore that he would never have
anything to do with bank again. Re
Gently, having come into possession of
$500, he put it in the bottom of an old
barrel III the wood-shed, and filled it up
with rubbish. On top of this he put a
dozen eggs and a setting hen. The hen
attended closely to her business and
brought dozen yellow chickens into
the world. The farmer thereupon ex-
amined the barrel only to find mis- treas
ure gone. He cannot explain the mys-
terious disappearance, as he supposed
that nobody, not even the old hen, knew
of the deposit of money. Perhaps it was
all in gold "eagles" which took to them
selves wings and flew away, in resent
ment at being set on by an old hen.

The DOg.Fat Cure.

Two boys were carefully skinning and

what are you doing that for ?" was
asked
For consumption, replied one of
the boys. "For so BILL" said the
other.
1t was finally explained that many res
idents of the east side of the city firmly
believe that dog fat is an infallible cure
for consumption.
1.-The boys told you the truth" said
DIR. Ennever, the veterinary stationed at
the pound, who was next questioned.
ga great many people believe that dog
fat and even the flesh of dogs is sure
one dog week is taken from here and
reduced to medicine"
"Who comes after them ?"
Generally women, either Germans
or Jews. They come up here, and,
after carefully examining all the dogs,
select one that seems to be healthy and
fat. They then point out their selection
to an attendant, who ties string round
its neck or marks the animal in some
way so as to identify it. The woman is
told on what day that particular beast
will be drowned; she returns at the time
specified, gets the body, and turns it
over to some of the hoodlums round
here, who for dollar or two skin it and
take off the fat. If she wishes the car
cass they dress it for her just as butch
er would lamb or a calf. No, yellow
dogs have no value in this way; black
dog is always chosen in preference to
any other color, il he is fat and healthy"
"How do they take the medicine, as
suppose they call it?"
"In different ways. Some reduce it
to oil and take it as liquid by the
spoonful others fry it out, and then af-
ter it gets cold spread it on bread as you
would butter. and eat it So"
"Do they eat the meat, too ?"
."Yes and, as matter of fact, it's
not bad eating. I've tried it myself,
though l was not aware OF it at the time.
II looks like young veal. :"
"Have you any regular customers ?"
eve have one, Mrs. Farley, who
used to live at the corner of Avenue A
and Sixteenth street. She was pretty
far gone in consumption, but she used
to come every other week for i've or six
months and get nice fat dog. L have
not seen her for some time, but don't
think she's dead. Some one told me she
was living over on Ninth avenue. But
as general thing we don't know our
customers names. This superstition is
80 general on the east side that many of
the drug stores keep dog fat or oil in
stock. There are any number of these
household remedies for different dis
eases. Through Vermont and New
Hampshire the fat of skunks is used as
cure for Group and rheumatism. Then
at the South negroes use dogs flesh as
cure for rheumatism. The dog must be
jet. black or the medicine is without eff
ficacy. When the animal is chosen it is
fed on nothing but the lungs and livers
of raccoons until it is so fat 1t can hardly
walk, when it is killed and eaten. After
that, if the patient is not cured, he is
pc fectly assured that his pains and
aches are attributable to some other
cause. "-NeW York World.

THE fiction that French brandy is
distilled from French grapes is pretty
thoroughly dispelled by the American
Consul at Rochelle, who has made tour
of investigation through the wine re-
gions of France for the purpose of en-
his Government on this point.
He says that the variety of grapes which
once produced French brandy are now
almost unknown. The vines have died
out, and but very few of them are now
to be found in the entire grape growing
district. The failure of the grape, how
ever, has not led to failure of the
French brandy crop, as might naturally
be supposed. That article is now dis
titled from potatoes and beets, or is
made by "doctoring" cheap American
whisky, which is sent to France in large
quantities to be thus transformed. The
Consul warns Americans against this
compound, and thinks it should be ex-
cluded from the United States for sani
tary reasons. The proper thing for
American tipplers to do, apparently, is
either to join the prohiDitionists or stick
to native liquors.

BESIDE inveSting Jumbo and various
other humbugs, including himself, Mr..
P. T. Barnum has got ont patent
burglar alarm, which he unselhshly adj
vises everybody to use. 1t consists of
number of gongs fastened on the outside
of the house, from which wires run into
every sleeping.room in the house. A
bell-pull is arranged conveniently near
the bed, and any inmate of the house
disturbed by suspicious noise can just
set one of the gongs going, thereby
arousing the whole neighborhood to a
knowledge of the threatened danger.
Mr.. Barnum thinks this would have an
admirable effect on people of burglarious

IT was tobacco cancer that killed
Senator Ben Hill, of Georgia. This sort
os skin cancer is disease of middle age.
1t is occasioned by the constant applica-
ton of an irritant of some kind to the
skin or mucous membrane, where the
disease Is located. 1t was Senator Hills
habit to hold a cigar in his mouth,
with the nicotine coated end against the
left side of his tongue, and there is no
doubt that this was the exciting cause in
his case. Cancer was hereditary in his
family. About three years ago it devel-
oped in Mr.. Hills tongue, and there is
long history of treatment, which proved
unavailing.
