A Remarkable Cure ofScrofula

William S. Baker of Lewis, Vego-
County, Ind, writes as follows =
My son was taken with scrofula in
the hip when only 2 yaars old. We
tried several physicians but the boy
got no relief from their treatment.

some of it of you in the year 1862,
and continued taking it till the

that your medicine did him so much
good when he used it, we want to
try it again in another case, and
now write to you to get some more
of it.

Natural Wonder.

The most interesting point on the
Cover coast of Wales is Il rock prom
ontory called Worm head. They tell
us that sailors who see it from the west
ward perceive III it resemblance to
great worm crawling with head upliitcd
IA thing they naturally would do if
they already knew its name, which is
probably "a corruption. From other points
Of view the head is thought to resemble
other objects, as a great mile stone, a
lion couchant, camel, etc. The prom.
ontory runs more than mile out to sea,
and at half.aood becomes an island, the
isthmus connecting it with the mainland
being then submerged by the tide. lis
sea-iront is some three hundred feet
perpendicular A series of strange
phenomena characterize it. There are
times, in quite calm and bright weather,
the sea lying almost without ripple,
when the waves of the ocean come
climbing mysteriously up the sides of
this precipce in dense volume, sur
mounting it, and breaking over its sum-
nit in vast cascade. The fisherman
say this strange performance is the
result of a meeting of opposing under
currents, and is the sure precursor of a
storm.
The head is hollow; inside is great
cavern, very dangerous to enter but
which has been entered, nevertheless
by one rowing boat within on quiet
summer day, and rowing out again with
some haste. The winds and waves ha-
bitually hold such dissolute revels inside
the cavern of this naughty head that a
boat which should be caught in there
by SO much as wandering zephyr from
the sea would have very hard time of
it, The winds become transformed to
furies in this roaring abode of chaos.
Long before storm has really arisen,
the most terrific turmoil is raging inside
the head, and through an opening in
the rock above--a little crevice no wider
than mans two fingers, and no longer
than his arm-there rushes torrent Of
tempestuous wind, with a noise like the
blowing of furnace. This noisy moni-
tor utters warning of an approaching
storm. Science has dubbed it the
Rhossilly barometer Rhorsilly is the
weather-beated little village hard by;
The people call it simply the Blow Hole;
and if ever snakes head should attain
such dimensions as this Head of Worm,
its hiss would perhaps be as loud as the
noise of this Heads blow-hole. The
cause of the noise is of course simple,
aud needs no explanation it has abuu-
dant parallels at many points on the
Welsh coast.
The head is haunted by many wild
le8end-of great door in the depths of
the cave, studded with mighty nails,
and which is heard to bang and slam
noisily in storms; of terrible ship wrecks,
centuries ago, of proud Spanish gall
cons, which Went down laden heavily
with treasure, sowing tho sands with
golden coins, which men still dig up
rom time TO time of the ghost of the
lord Of the manor, who was stabbed on
the shore, with his hands full of Spanish
gold, and who haunts the Head o'nights
in phantom chariot drawn by four
black horses. .-Hmper'S liagazine.

unprotected farmers, especially the
women who are 30 often left alone.
Little Sut was in the barn, with his dog,
sorting potatoes, when his attention was
called by hearing one of the girls scream,
and looking out, to his surprise and
terror, he saw man rush out at the
kitchen door in pursuit OF one Of the
girls. With boyish impulse Sut ran
out with a small basket OF potatoes In
his hand followed by the dog, which he
urged to fierce attack on the man.
The little dog went gallantly into
the fight and set his teeth 80 vigorously
into the legs of the tramp that the girl
was enabled to escape from him and run
to neighbours for assistance. Little
Sut realized that there was work for him
to do. The screams which came from
the house plainly indicated that the one
man was not the only enemy on the
place, and with shout little Sut rushed
in to find another tramp on the point of
overcoming Mrs. Pitkins and the other
daughter in fierce struggle, in which
he had almost torn their clothing of.
The noise that little Sut made and the
vigorous fusilade Of potatoes that he
hurled at the tramp so disconnected him
that it allowed the two women a chance
to escape and lock themselves in room
upstairs. Poor little Sut aud his dog
were left alone to contend with the two
enraged tramps; the fight was uneven
and short, the dog was driven from the
field, and little Sut alone stood at bay.
Suddenly one Of the tramps, who had
been keeping an eye open for danger,
saw approaching the farmer, to whose
house the other daughter had fled, and
giving the alarm the two desperadoes
rapidly made their escape to the thick
woods near by.
They had done their work cruelty and
we'll. Little Sut lay in the corner mo-
tionless where he fell, and the neighbor
laid him on the bed, while Mrs Pitkins
and her daughters bent over him and
frantically called his name. There was
a gurgling sound in his throat and lit
tie stream of blood tricked down the
side Of his mouth and stained the white
ruffled slip of the pillow. Just then
Sut opened his eyes as Mr.. Pitkins re-
turned from selecting another boy to
take his place, A little cut on SUITS
breast showed where the knife bad pen
etrated his lungs and the gurgllng sound
was the blood that was forcing its life
tide inside.
'Did l drive them off?'
That was all little Sut ever said, but
with smile on his face and the blood
streaming from his mouth he died in
the arms Of Farmer Pitkins, who had
gone to swophim off because he was too
small to do anything.
A little grave down at the village
churchyard, kept green by three CRATE
full women, and fragrant with perfumes
OF flowers, is all now left on earth of lit
tie Sut but somewhere We know he has
gone where they do not think him too
small.

A Missing Link.

Mr.. Farini is now exhibiting at the
royal aquarium in London strange
hairy little creature named Krao. Krao
is described as q very bright looking,
Intelligent girl OF about 7 years of age.
She was caught, according to theaccount
given of her by Mr.. Farini, in the forest
near Laos in southeastern Asia, and
brought to England by Carl Book, a
Norwegian. Hearing in various quarters
of the existence of race OF hairy tailed
men similar in appearance to a family
kept at the court f Mandalay, he offered
a reward for the capture of specimen.
a man was caught, and with him the
child now exhibited, and a woman of
similar appearance then allowed herself
TO be taken, When the little one
attempted to wander, her parents called
her back with plaintiye cry, "Kra o."
and the call has been adopted as her
name. The iather died at Laos of chol-
era, and the king refused to let the
mother go but Mr.. Beck succeeded in
getting the child to Bankok, and OBJ.
famed permission from the king OF Siam
to take her to England. The eyes OF
the child are large, dark an lustrous
the noseis hattened, the nostrils scarcely
showing the cheeks are fat anil pouch
like, the lower lip only rather ,hicher
than is usual in Europeans; but the
chief popularity is the strong and
abundant hair. On the head it is black,
thick and straight, and grows over the
forehead down to the heavy eyebrows,
and is continued iu whisker like locks
down the cheeks. The rest of the face
iseevered with fine, dark, downy hair,
and the shoulders and arms have COW
ering of hairs from an inch to an inch
and a half long There is, it is said, a
slight lengthening of the lower vertebrm,
suggestive Of caudal protubcrapce, and
there are points in the muscular confor-
nation and otherwiso which will pro-
woke discussion. Krao has already picked
up lew wor.ls OF English. She is said
to be of frank, affeciiona,e disposition,
and shows truly feminine delight in her
jewelry and ribbons. Mr.. Farini
exhibits her as 'the missing link"

What The Field Said.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down;
The night mist shroudeth the sleeping town;
But if it be dark or il it be day,
If the tempess beat Or the breczcs play,
Still here on this upland slope lie
Looking up to the changelul sky.
Naught am but fallow field;
Never crop my acres yield.
Over the wall at my right hand
Stately and green the corn blades stand,
And hear at my left the flying feet
OF the winds that rustic the bending wheat.
Often while yet the morn is red
list for our masters eager tread.
He smiles at the young corn's towering hight,
He knows the wheat is goodly sight,
But he glances not at the lallow field
Whose die acres no wealth may yield.
Sometimes the shout OF the harvesters
The sleeping pulse of my being stirs,
And as one in dream l seem TO feel
The sweep and the rush of the swinging steel,
Or catch the sound of the gay refrain
As they heap their wains with the golden grain
Yet Omy neishbors, be not too proud
Though on every tongue your praise is loud
Our mother Nature is kind TO me,
And nm beloved by bird and bee,
And never child that passes by
But turns upon me grateful eye.
Over my head the skies are blue;
have my share OF the rain and dew;
! bask like You in the summer sun
When the long bright days pass, one by one,
And calm rs yours is my sweet rcpose
Wrapped in the warmth oil the winter sno VS..
For little our loving mother cares
Which the com or the daisy bears,
Which is rich with the rpening wheat,
Which with the vioct's breath Is sweet,
Which is red with the clover bloom,
Or which for the wild sweet-iern makes room.
Useless under the summer sky
Year alter year men say lie.
Little they know what strength OF mine
lsive TO the tlaing blackberry vine;
Little they know how the wild grape grows,
Or how my liie-blood flushes the rose.
Little they think of the cups fill
For the moses creeping under the hill;
Little they think of the feast spread
For the wild wce-creatures that must be fed;
Squirrel and butterfly, bird and bee,
And the creeping things that no eye may see.
Lord of the harv 81, Thou dost know
How the summers and winters 20.
Naver a ship sails east or west
Laden with treasures at my behest,
Yet my being thrills to the voice of God
When lgive my gold to the golden.rod.

A Great Soldiers Tenderness.

The Duke of Wellington frequently
exhibited an almost unparalleled gener.
osity. His thoughtfulness, too, and
love for his soldiers were marked traits
IN his character. When the terrible day
at Waterloo was over, it is said that the
dukes feelings, SO long kept at the high.
est tension, utterly gave away, and that,
as he rode amid the groans of the
wounded and the reeking carriage, and
heard the cries Of the vanquished and
the shouts of the victors, fainter and
fainter through the gloom of night, he
burst into tears. Soon after he penned
q letter, which concluded thus, 81
have escaped unhurt; the finger Of
Providence was on me-" And later on
he wrote the words, "My heart is
broken by the terrible loss have sus-
tanned in my old friends and companions
and my poor soldiers. Believe me,
nothing except battle lost can be half
SO melancholy as battle won. The
bravery of my troops has hitherto saved
me from the greater evil but to win
such battle as this of Waterloo, at the
expense of so many gallant friends,
could be termed only heavy misfor.
tune, but for the result to the public"
On the following morning DR.. Hume
fastened, by tn Dukes orders, to his
tent, there to read 10 him the terrible
list of the dead and wounded. He
found the duke asleep, but, not daring
to break his commands, awoke him.
"ln an instant" we are told. "his
grace, dressed as he was in full regi.
mentals, was sitting on the bedside.
Read was the significant command.
For more than an hour had the doctor
read aloud the narrowing list, and then
his voice failed, and his threat choked
with emotion. He tried to continue,
but could not. Instinctively lie raised
his eyes to the duke Wellington was
still sitting with his hands raised and
clasped convulsively before him. Big
tears were coursing down his checks.
In n moment the duke was cor scious
OF the doctors silence, and, recovering
himself, looked up, and caught his eye.
Read on, was the stern command and,
while his physician continued for four
hours, the Iron Duke sat by the bed,
side, clasping his hands and working
his body to and fro with emotion. Such
was the man his contemporaries charged
with want OF feeling"

Automatic Register.

A Swiss engineer, named Fodor, at
present employed on railway in Fin
land, has lately perfected a discovery
which, if all that is said of it be true,
will prove an immense boon to railway
companies The invention consists of
an indicator, of easy application to all
existing wagons and locomotives,
eieby their speed, the number of
stoppages they make, the duration OF
the stoppages, and the times at which
they are made are exactly and automati-
cally registered. The apparatus has
been tried and its efficiency proven on q
railway in Finland and on a part of the
line between Moscow and st. Peters
burg.

On recent night Capt. Allaire of the
New York police, tried new measure
with the tramps. As they came in, their
names, trades, ages and nationalities,
were taken, and, instead OF being sent
to the lodging room, they were taken to
the cells and made prisoners. The next
moruing Capt. Allaire marched sixty of
them to court. Out OF the sixty but q
few were unknown. They were dis.
charged. The others were sent to the
workhouse for terms varying from one

At Faenza all the stores were closed,

Italian universities the students draped

The fact that the Italian police track

They say that he played the shameful

II is stated that the weight OF the

average mans brains is fifty ounces,
while that of the average woman is about
forty-fve ounces. Yet many a woman
with ten ounces less brains than q man
will completely upset him, and prove to
an impartial world that she knows more
than he does when she's asleep. 1t is a
lovely sight to see forty.oz. woman get
caramels out of sixty-oz. man, and
make him believe she adores him, while
she is negotiating with another man to
