Mcintyre was somewhat bewildered
by excitement or by his fall, as he
rolled by his side, but did not rise,
he quietly put his foot on his breast
to keep him from rolling round the
deck, and thus finished the voyage.
The effect of this trip upon Rob
inson was decidedly marked. To
it, as he lived but few years af-
terward, his death was com monty
attributed. But this was incorrect,
since the disease which termina-
ted his life was contracted at New
Orleans at later day. HE was"
said Mrs. Robinson to the writer,
twenty years older when he came
home that day than when he went
out" He sank in his chair like
person overcome with WEAKNESS.
He decided to abandon the water,
and advised his sons to venture no
more about the rapids. Both his
manner and appearance were
changed. Calm and deliberate be-
tore, he became thoughtful and Sc
rious aflerward. He had been
borne, as it were, in the arms of
power so mighty that its impress
was stamped on his features and
on his mind. Through a slightly
opened door he had seen a vision
which awed and subdued him. He
became reverent in a moment. He
grew venerable in an hour.-Scien-
tific American.

Always Timely:

In these days of sudden changes
in temperature, it is important that
every man should look well after
his physical condition. A cold is
generally regarded as of little i'm
portance, and is frequently neglect
ed until it terminates in some alarm
ing disease. Men of strong consti-
tuition very often think that they
can keep down and work off any
slight indisposition. But how many
cases come before our minds ofmen
vigorous and strong being suddenly
stricken down and carried off in a
few days. In a great many cases
these results are due to a want of
proper attention in the first stages
of the trouble. When a cold is first
noticed, give it attention at once.
Don't wait to see how you feel to
morrow, but set about it at once and
get the mastery of it. While we
have the fullest confidence in doc
tors skill and experience, we have
no little faith in old-fashioned rem
edies in the first stages of a cold.
Put the feet in hot water, drink CO.
piously of hot teas-sage tea is one
of the best, and this herb should
be in the house of every family-go
to bed, and put rubber bag of hot
water by your side, and get up
free and copious perspiration. Don't
be afraid of homely herb drinks.
They are better and more safer than
"hot WHISTLES" Boneset or thor
oughwort makes a most excellent
drink when one has a cold. No
man, especially If he has others de.
pendent upon him, has any right to
neglect the warnings of nature as
indicated by a cold. A man may
be surrounded by a happy family;
the income from his labor enables |
him to give them all the comforts |
and many of the luxuries of life. |
That little family is dependent OH
him for their comfort and happi- |
ness. Now if from neglect of a cold |
he presently finds himself in the |
close grip of pneumonia, what anx-
.ous faces stand around his sick |
bed. Every symptom is watched
with the greatest solicitude, for
with the outgoing breath of the fa-
her come in the sad realities of ain
that soon learns to know
what the cold charities of the world
Ire. 1t is then the duty of every
nan to be watchful of first symp-
.oms, and if possible overcome them
or the sake of the family that de
oends upon him and lives in kind
less of his heart and the sunshines
# his smiles.-Editorial in the Lo-

The Secret of the Success of Patent
Medicine Manufacturers.

Says the Milwaukee Sentinel, in
a recent article on "Patent Medi-
cines:" "It is advertising that is
the secret Of success in the case of
patent medicines, if there is any Sc
cret about it. There is not a pat
ent medicine which is superior to
the preparations provided for by
the standard medical publications.
1t is much simpler, however, for the
person who wants a medicine to
buy bottle of patent medicine,
good for every human i'll, than to
go to physician. BY advertising
patent medicine extensively and
persistently the people are brought
to recognize certain common and
simple sensations as evidences of a
disease which this particular rene
dy will cure. About all that is re-
quired to succeed in the patent
medicine line is money and nerve
to use it in advertising. 1t makes
no sort of difference what medicine
it is-the com bination of drug items
is of least Importance.
1t is well, perhaps, to put the
drugs, if any are used, in spirits, so
that a man can take his whisky
with a clear conscience-indeed,
with sense of his own worthiness
in taking care of his health. Occa-
sional changes in the name of the
medicine and of the maker are de-
sirable, for after a few years the
public demand something new. The
same medicine may be used, but
change of name and of the charac-
ter of the illustrations is demanded.
After long run of a patent medi
cine as a cure for lung troubles, a
new run may be established by call
ing it a remedy for stomach troub-
les. When a fortune has been
made out of lung pads, they can be
cut down in size and another for
tune made out Of them as kidney
pads"

A California Bear Story.

Henry Finn, of Inskip, Califor-
mia, let his three-year-old daughter
ride upon a horse that he was tax
ing to pasture, and after she had
ridden about four rods from home,
he lifted her off the horse and told
her to run home. On returning he
found the child had not reached
home. Going to the spot where he
last saw her, he saw bear tracks in
the sand. Search was made all
night for the lost child. In the
morning as the searchers were pass
ing a swampy spot where the un-
derwood was thick, they heard her
voice. They called to the little
girl, and told her to come out of the
brushes. She replied that the bear
would not let her. The men crept
through the brush, and when near
the spot they heard splash in the
water, which the child said was the
bear. They found her standing up
on a log extending about halfway
across a swamp. The bear had un-
dertaken to cross the swamp on the
log, and being pursued, left the
child and got away as rapidly as
possible. She had received some
scratches about the face, arms and
legs, and her clothes were almos,
torn from her body; but the bear
had not bitten her to hurt her, only
the marks Of his teeth being found
on her back, where he had taken
hold of her clothes to carry her
The child says the bear put hel
down occasionally to rest, and
would put his nose up to hel
face, whereupon she would slaT
him, and the bear would hang hi:
head by her side and purr and rub
bed against her like a cat. The
men asked her if she was not colo
in the night, and she told Them the
old bear lay beside her, and put hi
''arm" around her and kept he
warm, though she did not like his
long hair.

A Deserted Citv,

1t is not often that an American
town is doomed to defamation, but
Virginia City, Nevada, affords an
instance at least. Eight years ago
Virginia City and Gold Hill, ad-
joining each other and practically
one town, had 10000 population.
1t was the largest community be-
tween Denver and San Francisco.
There were merchants doing bust
ness with a million of capital
There were stamp mills and mining
structures that cost 100000 each.
There were private houses that cost
100000 to build and furnish.
There were three daily papers, and
a hotel that cost 100000. 1t was
a teeming, busy and money-making
and among the people
were a score or more worth 100000
to $3O,OOO,O00. Mackey and Fair
both lived there. There were three
banks, gas company, a water COM
pany, a splendid theater and cost
ly court house.
Eight years have passed and the
town is a wreck. The 10000 peo-
pie have dwindled down to 5000.
The banks have retired from bust
ness. The merchants have closed
up and moved away; the hotel is
abandoned; the gas company is
a bankrupt, and scores of costly res
idences have either been taken to
pieces and moved away or given
over to the bats. Real estate will
not pay the taxes. Nothing can be
sold that will cost its worth to
move it away. The rich men have
Ill gone. Those who remain are
their superintcndents and
,he saloon men and gamblers. The
after are usually the first to come
20 a mining town and the last to
cave.
The cause of this decadence,
which has swallowed up millions OF
capital and wrecked the worldly
of thousands of persons, is
,he failure of the Comstock mines

The Banner gives this good re-
port from the capital: 1t is not as
it once was in Nashville. Formerly,
when whisky saloons remained
open on Sundays, the streets were
filled with drunken men and impu-
dent loafers, and the disturbances
and the fights on Sunday made a
regular picnic for the recorder on
Monday mornings. Not so now,
since Sunday laws" have been en-
acted and enforced. Not an arrest
was made yesterday, not a drunk
man noted.

The annual report of the commits
sioner of agriculture says: The
total value of the forest productions
of the United States for the census
year is $700,0O0,00o. In other
words, the forest products exceed
the value of our hay, rye, oats, bar
ley, buckwheat, potatoes and tobac-
co. Taken together, they amount
to ten times the value of the gold
and silver of which we make so
much account, and to more than
three times the value of our precious
minerals, coal and other minerals
combined" :"

Asubstitute for TRANSMISSION Of Blood.


William 7. Bull, NJ. D., Surgeon
of the Chambers Street and New
York Hospitals, says the use of sa-
line injections in Asiatic cholera in
the early part of this century dem
onstrated the safety of such a pro-
cedure, and likewise its ineficiency
in checking the career of that dis
ease. Within a few years, however,
this method has risen to the level of
life saving measure, as a substi-
tute for the tranfusion of blood in
conditions of acute an@mia and col
lapse. OF nineteen patients who
have been subjected to the opera
tion, when at the point of death,
thirteen have entirely recovered; in
three death was averted, but oc-

Jones Island, in Lake Panasofikee,
found, few days since, a hole cut
in a bay tree near his home,
and having some curiosity to know
its origin, he cut into the tree and

were also in the tree beads and some
Spanish silver, some of which had
been beaten out of shape. One
dime was dated 1909.

MANY farmers do NOT know. whe1

Many farmers do not know, when
they put corn in the crib, just how
to ascertain the exact quanty there
in. The following rule is said to
be entirely accurate; Multiply the
length, width and height of the crib
together, then multiply this by 500
and then cut off three figures to the
right, and you have the number of
ears of corn.

his seed corn thoroughly, and then
smokes it as he would his hams for
three or four days. He says it be-

smoke that neither gophers or any
thing will take it after being plant
ed. The one great good that would
surely be gained would be the GER
