Buried Alive.

The following improbable story,
without any names, comes from
Wheeling;
One of those CHASTITY stories Of in
terment before life has become ex-
tinct, is current in the city tonight.
The victim-so the rumor goes--is q
young married ladyof 20 or 81 years.
In May, of last year, three months
after her marriage, she was taken
violently i'll, and after lingering for
ten days apparently died. There
were certain peculiarities about the
appearances of the supposed corpse,
however, which caused suspicion
in the mind of the attending physi-
clan that his patient might be in a
trance, but after keeping the body
a few days, with no signs of return
ing life, the remains were consigned
to the grave, temporary interment
being made in the family lot in the
old Sixteenth Street Cemetery. A few
days ago the body was disinterred
for removal to another cemetery. To
the surprise of the sexton the coffin
lid showed signs Of displacement,
and on it being removed, the grave
digger was Mortified to find the re-
mains turned face downward, the
hands filed with bits of hair torn
from the head, and the face, neck
and bosom deeply scratched and las
cerated, while the lining OF the coffin
had been torn into fragments in the
desperate efforts Of the entOmbed
victim to escape from her terrible
fate. The story is denied by some,
hut is insisted upon by the eye wit
nesses.

The SUN Cholera Mixture,
Chicago Herald .

Now that it has been ascertained
that the cholera has appeared in
Europe, prescriptions are in great
demand by correspondents, who
write to the editor as if he were a
personal friend and the family phys
ician. For years what is known as
"The Sun cholera medicinen has
stood the test of experience as the
best remedy for looseness of the
bowels ever yet devised. AS was
once vouched for by the New York
Journal of Commence, "no one who
has this by him and takes it in time
will ever have the cholera" Even
when no cholera is anticipated it is
an excellent thing for the ordinary
summer complaints, collie, diarrhea,
dysentery, &c, and we have no hes
itation in commenting it. Here it
is: Take equal parts of the tincture
of cayenne, tincture of opium, tinct
ure of rhubarb, essence of pepper
mint, and spirits of camphor. Mix
well. Dose, fifteen to thirty dscps
in wineglass of water, according
to age and the violence of the attack.
Repeat every fifteen or twenty min
utes until relief il obtained.

What'll You Take ?

From the New York Daily Nems. :. =.
The German takes his beer AS food.
He sips it leisurely as one would his
soup, and finds nutriment to the
physical man, without intoxication
OF the brain. The Frenchman takes
his light wine for the same pur-
pose and with like effect, and the
Englishman, when not a drinker of
malt extracts, mitigates the fierce
ness of his brandy by an infusion of
soda, and derives therefrom stimu-
lation, without an excess of excite
ment. With us we take ours "plain !"
or mixed" and hence follows the
fancy for "mixed drinks" in the
compromising of which Americans
have no equals and few imitators.
Experts in the preparation of such
have written books and have at
tanned celebrity. Mr.. Jerry p.
Thomas, President of the Gourd
Club, and well known as dispenser
of the most enjoyable compounds tc
the habitues of Central Park Hotel,
59th st. and 7th Ave, N. Y, writes
as follows: Last summer | suffered
fearful with neuralgia and could
not get any rest, night or day. A
TREND who had used st. Jacobs Oil,
thought so highly of its healing
qualities that he gave me some to
try. tried it and obtained the
first nights rest in weeks and was
cured. | have found it to be the
very best remedy. / keep it constant

recommended it to others and would

The Use Of Perfumery.

The absurdity, not to say vulgarity, Of
using the various cosmetics, hair dies,
ETC., and the injury resulting from their
continuous use, are pretty well UNDER
stood among intelligent people. Some
what akin TO this, though far from being
as hurtful. is the use of perfumery. II
it may not be said that the practice Is
more honored in the breach than in the
observance" it may at least be said that
it is greatly overdone. If sour love for
odors like our love for flowers, is an in
fallible sign of our nature what shall
be thought of those whose coming is
heralded afar by musk in some OF its
compounds and cheap, OF
uncommon and costly?" Some one has
recorded his opinion that such use Of
perfume is almost invariably intended
to hide an odor of different kind, which
would have received more correct treat
ment by the '.ounce of prevention.
When this is not the case, it may be only
an evidence of unrefined taste. True.
it may be said that more delicate per-
fumes, properly managed, are not liable
to that objection. But after all, is not
the value Of scrupulous cleanliness, in
person and apparel, greatly under-esti-
mated in this Connection 1t IS related
of one who for years was the leader of
fashion in London society, that his SER
want was once asked: "What perfume

reply was: ''Soap and water, sir. IN

December 2 is a remarkable day in

1904, Napoleon /. was crowned. The
same day in tho next year he won his
chief victory of Austerlitz. On Decem-

There is a tradition that the number 8

A Scotchrnan seldom lose his self
respect when in the presence of titled
men and weyaen. He is courteous, but
not obsnquious. The following anecdote
illustrates that his courtesy may be
tinged with sly humor:
During the stay of the Queen, some
years ago, in the vicinity of Loeb Ven

none of the love of her sex for shop
ping, drove into the town Of Callander
to get some velvet matched.
Having procured what she was in

when she discovered that she had left
