Your Own Doctor.

Hemorrhages of the lungs or stomach promptly checked by small doses of salt. The patient should be kept as quiet as possible.
 Sleeplessness caused by too much blood in the head may be overcome by applying cloth wet with cold water to the back of the neck.
 For pains in the chest and stomach as much Dover's powder as will lie on a silver fve.cent piece.
 Wind colic is promptly relieved by peppermint essence taken in a little warm water. For small children it may be sweetened. Paregoric is also good.
 Chlorate of potash dissolved in water is 8 standard remedy for sore throat, particularly if the throat feels raw.
 Tickling in the throat is best relieved by gargle of salt and water.
 Indigestion is the prolific cause O cohcs, diarrhea, headaches, constipation and many diseases of the bladder. Food that is not digested ferments and be- comes powerfully acid, causing irritation and inflammation wherever it touches. Many levers are caused by it. Pepsin is the best remedy, if taken immediately after eating. If pepsin is not taken the acidity should be controlled by b;car- bonate of soda or potash.
 Sickness of the stomach is most promptly relieved by drinking teacup- ful of hot soda and water. IT it brings the offending matter up all the better.
 A teaspoonful of ground mustard in & cup of warm water is prompt and reli- able emetic, and should be resorted to in cases of poisoning or cramps in the stomach from over eating.
 Pains in the side are most promptly relieved by the application of mustard.
 Sprains and bruises call for an appli- cation of the tincture of arnica.
 Avoid purgatives and strong physics, as they not only do no good, but are positively hurtful. Pills may relieve for the time, but they seldom cure. Stom- ach bitters are snare and only create a desire for stimulants.

Truth was not Mighty.

A worn and weary tramp entered the office of banker. The clothes he wore were in bad state of disintegration. The face of the tramp wore a prema- turely aged expression, like that of the Bartholdi pedestal. He sighed heavily as he took of his hat, and said:
 "Please, sir, give me a few pennies; I am very hungry"
 Something in the mans voice caught the bankers attention.
 "You don't look as if you'd always been beggar," he said.
 '1 haven't, sir. Twas getting along very we'll once; but left my business to go into another which, according to what I read in the papers, never failed to make men immensely rich. I'm try ing now to get little money together, so as to go back into my old business. !"
 "What was your old business2"
 "I was portrait painter, sir"
 "And what was the business that you went into?"
 "I became plumber"
 The banker rose up and glared upon the tramp.
 "Get out P said he; ''you can't come and tell ne any such stuff as that. If you'd said you were plumber and went into portrait painting might have be- lieved you; but can't swallow that sort of thing. Skip P
 "That's just it" mumbled the tramp ss he went out; 'I could get rich if I'd only lie; but when I tell my true story no one will believe it. It's all owing to those confounded humorists. ."-Puck.

A Mine Caves In.

The Enterprise mine, at Port Bowkley, Pa. owned and operated by Andrew Langdon, of Buffalo, was on Friday morning the scene of the most extensive cave-in that has occurred in that region for years, nearly one hundred acres of ground settling from four to six feet. The Lehigh Valley Railroad tracks sank five feet, and traffic was stopped for some hours. The air in the mine was driven with the violence of an explosion and forced it's way out of the shaft, almost totally wrecking the inside workings. The ground is covered with seams and cracks for several hundred feet, and five houses belonging to miners in the employ of the company are wrecked. It is feared the mine is ruined
 A second fall took place at the Enterprise mine Friday evening. The cave-in now em- braces fully 250 acres. The fall of rock Friday evening is thought to have been enormous. Six mules were killed. It is difficult to estimate the loss, but it will reach fully $500, 900. Five hundred persons are thrown out of employ menk.

The GreeIy Party.
DIARIES THAT REVEAL WORSE STATE OF AFFAIRS THAN HAS BERN REPORTED.


 A Washington dispatch says:-All the diaries kept by the members of the Greedy expedition are in the custody of Lieut.. Ray, and no other army officer is supposed to have read them. Some thing of their contents has, however, been learned by various officers, and it is asserted that when the whole is re- vealed by Congressional investigation the expedition will be proved to have been unfortunate in more than one sense of the term. Army officers who claim to know say that almost from the start the Greedy expedition was marked by lack of discipline, serious errors of judgment and bickerings and contentious that ought to have been avoided. While nothing is said against Lieut. Greedy personally, criticisms of his ability as a commander are heard more frequently. The diaries, say these military critics, show that Greedy was unable to control his men; that quarrels were frequent between the commander and his officers and men, and that as a result the party became split into two factions, each of which looked out for itself. Lieut.. Greedy was the nominal head of one party, but it's real head was Sergt Brainerd, who watched over Greedy when the latter became too weak, physically and mentally, to command. At the head of the other faction was Lieut.. Lock- wood. It is believed here that the diaries show that Lieut.. Greedy was mis- taken in reporting in effect that Private Henry was the only one accused of stealing rations, while the fact is that others engaged in the same sort of thieving. The diaries also, it is asserted, accuse Surgeon Pavy of having secured more than his rightful allowance of food, and that Dr. Pavy's body was not found by the rescuing party, because there was nothing left of it to be found. With all these things openly talked about in naval and military circles, it is not sur prising that the opinion is growing that Lieut.. Greedy was better student of soience than a commanding officer.

AN ARCADIAN VILLAGE.
The Simplicity nnd Peace of Life In Cana
 dian KinEsvIlle.

Within a radius of twenty-two miles of the city of Detroit, on the Canadian side of the river, there nestles among the trees a village that for Arcadian simplicity and for perfect Nespolitan in- dolence is perhaps unequalled on the American continent. Situated on the north shore of Lake Erie, and on rich walnut and oak soil, nature has been an equal factor, by her very productive ness, with the indolent, almost somno- lent disposition of the inhabitants, in making them the happy-go-lucky class of people they are. Kingsville appears as if it were a part of some medieval English village of fifty years ago.
 The village possesses a conservatism almost phenomenal, and yet they long ago banished the idea that any person was a stranger after soiourn of half a day there. So great is the feeling of fraternity among them that the utmost cordiality prevails, and such thing as theft or robbery by one of themselves is thing almost unheard of, even by ''the oldest inhabitant." Any day from early spring, basking in the sun, and throughout the summer, sitting in the shade of the stores, may be seen a group of half dozen to twenty men, smoking and listening to the latest story brought by the Toronto drummer, or to some wonderful hunting tale that hap pened in the long ago when deer were plentiful in those parts and could be shot any day before breakfast.
 Woe betide the man who 'goes mar. keting" in hurry and expects to get served at once. He is doomed to disap- pointment. He must wait till the story is finished, or go without the desired articles. Another characteristic of the people is their almost phenomenal love for the game of ''marbles." The soil is sandy and absorbs moisture very rapid. ly. The ground is nearly always in g good condition for marble playing, and so fascinating appears the sport that middle-aged men, and some even older, can often be seen playing marbles in 6 shady corner. Nor is the custom con. sidered undigniied because of it's com monness. Some of the younger mem. bers of the community are experts ir the manly games of cricket, baseball and football, but the greater luxury oI the majority of the people is to lay or the grass and smoke and watch others play.-Detroit Times.

Wants to be a Reporter.

|. In giving some advice to young man who wanted to be newspaper reporter, M. Quad says: The successful reporter will have temptations without number. Each day and each night will bring them. His professional duties carry him where he must be exposed. He will be asked to drink and smoke and gamble because he is a good fellow. Men who feel under obligations to him will pay the debt by holding out a temptation. He will mingle the misery and wickedness of a city with the charity and morality. If he is not on his guard one evil habit after another will creep over him, and few years viii add him to the numberless wrecks float ing and drifting and driving about on the sea of the lost.
 But you want to be a reporter. ] would not discourage you, but warn you that there is much of the dogs life in the profession. The salary, ranging from S15 to $25 per week, is we'll earned.  The reporter is like a soldier in front of the enemy. He can call no. time his own; his hours for sleep belong to the fire bell and accident; he must be alert, vigilant, careful, prudent untiring. There is a feeling of responsibility which he cannot throw of; there is a monotony in crimes, fires and accidents which rob them of all the romance you have thrown around them. But there is room for you. There is not daily paper in America which would not find a place for such reporter as I have written of. If you have the right stuff in you to start with it can be speedily recognized, and any city editor will gladly assist you to develop it.

A Queer Way to Sell Beer.

A party who went fishing from Wash. ington several days ago had an amusing experience in getting some beer near the edge of Montgomery county, Md. They were directed to n store where beer was kept, and the merchant said he had some bottles on ice. Two bottles were called for. He produced them, and said to the person ordering the beer, "Come on." The merchant passed out of his store, beer in hand, followed by the wondering Washingtonian. Two or three hundred yards were traversed, and just as the puzzled angler was beginning to think he had struck a madman the merchant stopped, handed over the beer and named his price. When the money was paid him, he said:-"You see. local option prevails in Montgomery county, and I have brought you over the line into Frederick county, where there is no law against selling liquor." The couple returned to the store, where the merchant produced glasses, saying that there was no objection to drinking the beer on his premises, since it had not been sold within the county.
 The merchant positively refused to sell any beer unless the party wanting it would accompany him ncross the county line. He owns large farm as we'll as the store, and speaking of local option he sHid:-"It's . good law and l won't violate it" His neighbors testified that he rigidly adhered to this rule of crossing the county line, even when his regular customers were purchasers. -

The Late Secretary Felser.

Charles James Folger was born in Nantucket, Mass, April Is, 1918. When he was twelve years old he moved with his parents to Geneva, in New York State. He graduated at the Gen. eva College in 1886, and soon after commenced the study of law. After three years he was ad- mitted to the bar of the Supreme Court, and immediately entered upon the practice of his profession at Geneva.

 When his Senatorial term expired in 1869, President Grant appointed him United States Sub Treasurer in New York city, and he con tinued to hold the office till 1870, when he was elected Judge of the Court of Appeals. In May, 1880, Governor Cornell designated him as Chief Justice to fill 8 vacancy, and he was afterward nominated and elected as such in the fall of the same year.
 In October, 1881, he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury. He qualified foI the office on Nov. IA, and filled it up to the time of his death. On Sept. 20, 1889, he was nominated at Saratoga for the office of Governor, and was defeated

Fifty Persona Iniured.

dreadful calamity occurred at Soclock Thursday afternoon at the Grand Army re- union in Fremont, Nebraska. Twenty thou sand people had assembled at the parade grounds south of the camp to witness the sham battle, which was to be the most exciting and most interesting part of the whole weeks programme. A large amphitheatre had been constructed to sc- commodate the throng, but before it had been thoroughly filled up it went down with a terrible crash, precipitating 2,000 people who were in the seats, into heterogeneous mass on the ground below. Assistance was promptly given by the Surgeons General, the wounded being first extracted from the timbers of the structure and removed to convenient DOT tions of the camp. It was found that more than fifty persons had been hurt, their wounds varying from sprained ankles and wrists to fractured limbs and serious in- ternal injuries. None of the unfortunates have yet died, but there are some whose con dition is considered critical. The best care possible is being given to the wounded. The sham battle was postponed until the next day on account of the accident

Killed by Her LOVer's Words.

Miss Alice McCiban, young and in- tellgent, but an exceedingly nervous girl, died in Cadiz, Ohio., after an ill., ness of thirty-six hours, during the whole of which time she was uncon- scious. Three men were required at times to hold her. Miss McCiban was engaged to young gentleman named Nash, resident of the neighborhood. On Saturday evening he called on Miss McCiban and remained some time. When taking his departure he said in jest to her that he had concluded to sever their relations, and that there could be nothing between them but friendship. The girl was so affected that she sank down in spasm that con- tinued until her death. Every effort was made to restore her to consciousness without result. Mir. Nash, who was frantic, was constantly in attendance. It is feared that he will become insane.
