From J. c. Petmecky reporter OF

ing narrow escape. Not long since
several members of the Austin gun
club were out hunting and came upon
anegro cabin standing in a grove OF
timber. They approached the cabin

and Ia RUNS. to all appearances, and
When they knocked at the door they
received no response. Hardly had
they left the hut when the dogs
started bevy of birds, and they flew
between the hunters and the cabin in
such a manner that, to shoot, the
hunters must fire towards the house
This they did not hesitate to do. as it
was supposed to be deserted. One Of

in front of the door. There was j

CheaD Paint.

The Iowa agricultural college folks
recommend the following as an excel
lent paint fer outdoor work: To
three parts crude petroleum and one
quart linSeed oil add sufficient min
eral paint to give the desired body,
and apply with q brush. For better
buildings white lead may be added in
the proportion of one pound of lead
to five of mineral paint. Crude p,-
troleum costs only from to s cents
per gallon, by the barrel, ard can
be easily obtained through any drug
gist or dealer in oil in any town or
village.

Injurious Effects of Ice Water.

Many persons who have ice houses
would do we'll to bear in mind the
fact that its free use often results in
direct injury. The Lancet, leading
medical paper, IN recent issue, says :
"Cold drinks are often depressing.
and the peculiar form of indigestion
just now very prevalent, in which
food is retained an unreasonable time
in the stomach, is in Il large proper
ton of instances the direct effect of
persistent chilling of the gastric
organ by copious draughts of cold
drink"

Hot Water for Sickly Plants.

A corresponds mt calls our attention
to the following, from the Garden,
and inquiries whether there Is any
| thing in it: 1.-The Florist asks has any
one tried hot water as restorative
for Sickly plants, and then proceeds to
say that M. WillermoZ some time
since related that plants in pots may
be restored to health by means of hot
water. Ill health, he maintains, en-
sues from acid substances in the soil,
which, being absorbed 10y the roots.
act as a poison. The small roots
Wither and cease to act, and the upper
and younger shoots consequently turn
yellow and become spotted, indicative
Of their morbid state. In such cases
the usual remedy is to transplant into
fresh soil, in clean pots, with good
drainage, and this often with the best
results. But his experience of sew
eral years has proved the unfailing
efficacy of the simpler treatment,
which consists in watering abund-
antly with hot water, at a
temperature of about 1855
Fahrenheit, having previously stirred
the soil of the pots so far as may be
done without in ury to the roots.
Water is then given until it runs
freely from the pots. In his expert
ments the water at first came out
clear; afterward it was sensibly
tinged with brown, and gave an ap-
preciable acid reaction. After this
thorough washing the pots were kept
warm, and the plants very soon made
new roots, Immediately followed by
vigorous growth"
To our mind there is great deal in
it. We know to a certainty that sick
ly peach trees are often restored to
vigorous health by the old-fashioned
German farmers of Pennsylvania BY
pouring boiling water on the ground
about the peach tree. 1t cools, of
course, somewhat before reaching
many of the roots. Here, however,
it is believed to be beneficial by de-
stroying parasitic insects and para
site fungi. rather than chemically, as
suggested by the extract. But let
the reasoning be what it may, we are
willing to indorse it as good practice.

Your "Hepatozone" as a gentle

the bowels without making the pa
tient feel sick, weak or languid. 1t
is often the case that we feel little
bilious, have some headache perhaps,
and are feeling unwell generally, and
only need an easy purgative to relieve
us; your "Hepatozone" is the medi-
cine for that condition. | relieved a

G. E. Fisher, M. D., of Austin. is
about to begin the publication of a
medical journal called the "Texas
Homeopathic Pellet" 1t will con.
tain original articles upon medical
subjects, condensed reports of the
transactions of medical societies
gleanings from other journals, com
parsons between homeopathic and
other forms of treatment, medical
news items, book reviews, etc.
A special feature of its contents
will be the presentation of articles
controversorial in nature upon medi-
Cal and sanitary topics of inteies to
the whole people, and suitable for re-
print by the press of the State.
No effort will be spared to make
the pellet" spicy, readable, and
valuable publication. Contributions
will be sought from prominent
homeopaths throughout the United
States, and especial effort will be
made to present to the profession OF
Texas, and to the laity as well, class
of information not found, generally
in the homeopathic journals of the
day.
TO the profession of the South and
Southwest it will be particularly val
liable, being the only homeopathic
publication south of st. Louis or Gin
cinnati. The hearty cooperation OF
the fraternity in Texas and the
Southern and Southwestern states is
earnestly solicited In the way of med
ical contributions, news items and
medical memoranda.
The doctor is fully able to make
this publication all it promises to be
as the field in Texas would seem to
be rich one, and we know Austin
is the place for its publication.

within Four Inches of Death.

In our midnight notes yesterday we
gave brief account of the shooting
between the officers and the Mexican
horse thieves. Just how near the
officers came to a hit or a miss with
the Mexicans is not known, but they
came within four inches of ending
the earthly usefulness of an aged ne
gress. This eolored lady lived in the
vicinity of where the shooting oc-

firing. She went to the window to
gaze into the nisht to ascertain
whence the reports came. As she
stood looking through the blinds a
ball struck the stats not four inches
from her head and buried itself in the
side of the house beyond. Officer
Oberwetter, from whom our reporter
gained information of the foregoing
facts, had forgotten the name of the
woman who thus narrowly escaped.
He made diligent search to find her,
but all the colored people were absent
celebrating and he failed to obtain
the desired information. We hope
that the next time the horse thieves
are seen the officers may get the drop
on them. They are bad and ought to
be in the service of the state.

woman, whose name is Margaret
