For the relief of pain, for sick stomach, for
acute general weakness, for hysterical manifes
tations and for Inconsistencies these plasters
are of great service. Pain in the head often is
relieved by mustard plaster on the back of the
neck or temples Pain in other locations gener
ally calls for the application of the plaster to the
painful part In sick stomach apply the plaster
to the region of that organ. Shifting the plaster
from place to place adds to its usefulness. For
the relief of acute general weakness, as when a
person may swoon, apply the plaster to the re-
gion of the heart, stomach or spine. If it is at
tempted to rouse an unconscious person by the
use of this remedy move the plaster from place
to place, paying special attention to the region
and legs, always keeping in mind to shift the
plaster adult every ten minutes and on a
child as soon as the skin may be redeemed.

Clerks Who Are Under Surveillance at All
Seasons.

Pittsburg Leader.
While standing ON Fifth avenue few even
ings since Leader reporter was aecosted by a
young man who is employed and holds a respon-
sible position in of our leading business
houses, and who saluted the reporter thusly:
Come and take a walk with me, and | will
show you something that will make story for
your readers. The scribe, anxious and willing
to take hand in anything that would lead to an
item of interest, accompanied the young man
down the avenue, and as the pair passed along
the clerk in a sort of whisper, babe the reporter
look back and observe a little man dressed in
dark clothes skulking along the sides of the
houses. The man didn't minge with the throng
on the sidewalk, but kept certain distance be-
hind the scribe and his friend You see him do
you" said the young clerk NOW, let me tell
you who he is. He's detective employed in
private capacity and | am the one under sur

of anything that may make you ashamed to
walk with me, and for goodness sake don't look
back again or he will tumble that l am onto
him Now let us go into this bilhard-room and
see if he follows me- The clerk and scribe en-
tered the room, and sure enough, in abont five
minutes, the man followed and took seat some
distance away He seemed to interest himself
in the game that was going on, but kept one eye
in the direction of the clerk all the time The
reporter asked the reason of this strange pro-
ceediug, and the clerk replied: 'Oh, it's not
strange; am used to it now. That fellow is
hired by my employer to shadow his clerks ey-
cry night He watches how much
we spend, in fact watches every
thing we do and makes his report to the boss
daily. The scheme is, as you can see, to tell if
the employees spend great deal of money, and
if they do then the employer knows that their
clerks are getting the best of him in some way,
and the offender is accordingly discharged This
detective business has got to be common thing
and it's done every night" The scribe with

watcher in the room. is this thing of employees
being logged by detectives hired by their en-.

a private detective whom he met shortly after.
'ANell, I should say so" was the reply of the
sleuth hound, with a knowing wink. That's
where the best part of our work comes from.
But how did you manage to tumble to it" The
scribe refused to give this away and the detective
started of, saying, Il am on that lay now"

About Mustard Plasters.


Philadelphia Times
The person who first pointed out the useful
ness of the matter in question is dust loug since,
no doubt and his name forgotten. But this is
really not very strange, seeing that our knowl-
edge of mustard extends back over two thousand
years, and that, as the world goes, homely rem
edies like homely people, are often Sighted.
Some people probably know all and Others moth
ing about mustard plasters. For the edifcation
of the last it will now be told what these are
good for, how they should be used and how they
may be made, taking occasion to say just here
that a frst-class mustard plaster can be bought
ready made in any good drug store for quarter.
One tablespoonful Of ground brown mustard
seed, mixed with two tablespoonfuls of luke
warm water will make very efficient plaster.
Lay this between weli-worn muslin and fold the
edges, that the linen of the bed or person may
not be soiled

WISE AND JOHN BROWN.
a Strange Change Caused by the War-Wise
Opposed to Slavery.

A. PARKS, in On. Y. Tribune.
Some interesting "reminiscences of Henry
Wise, given in the Broadway Note Book of July
20, called to my mind the following story that
was tolda short time ago by F. II. Perpoint
the loyal War Governor of Virginia;
There was an amusing encounter between
Gov Wise and myself in the summer of 1865,
after went to Richmond as Governor of the
restored Government of Virginia Meeting him
one morning we shook hands very cordially and
| remarked, Governor, l suppose you have been
rusticating as have missed you from the city
for some weeks"
YES" was the reply, 1--WE been down to nay
farm in Princess Anne county, and what do you
suppose found there2'
answered.: II don't know. When L was
there in 1868 I saw large number of freedmen
cutting your timber. What did you ind
General|
"Why, sir, I found John Browns daughter
teaching a negro school in my Mansion House;
and they would not permit me to go into my
house."
At this laughed heartily Gen. Wise looked
me straight in the eye and demanded: What
are YOU laughing atF
said General, you must excuse me, a lu-
dicrous idea struck me that in less than seven
years after you hung John Brown for his sup
posed attempt to steal the negroes from Virginia
his daughter was teaching negro school in
your mansion, and you were a fugitive not per-
mitted to enter 1T
John Brown exclaimed General Wise, was
a great man, sir he great man. Yes" he
added raising his right hand and assuming his
most majestic attitude, John Brown was
hero; John Brown was a hero. sir!7 Then turn
ing suddenly he walked off, seemingly in solemn
meditation. This the only time John Brown
was alluded to in our conversations He told
me one day in a long conversation, in which he
set forth all his reasons, that the rebellion had
not proceeded six months until he had promised
before God that if the Confederacy should be es-
tablished he would spend the residue of his life,
if necessary, in advocating the freedom of the
slaves. He favored the apprenticeship system,
and declared he never would consent to hand
down to his posterity an element of such
national weakness as slavery

HANS MAKART.
The Interesting Career of the Great Austrian
Painter.


Boston Advertiser,
Hans Makart the leading artist of Austria,
and one of the most famous OF Europeanpainters
whose death occurred Saturday morning, was a
native of SalZburg, Austria and was forty-four
years of age. His reputation dates from 1868,
though his most celebrated picture, the En-
trance of Charles V into Antwerp" was not ex-
hibted until ten years later, at the Paris inter
national exposition. He was a pupil of Piloty
at Munich but subsequently made Vienna his
home, and became one of the lions of that
brilliant metropolis. Among his early works
are THE Seven Capital Sins" 1.-The Pest at
| Florence" "The Dream of a Man of Pleasure,
| "Nymphs Coming to Touch the Lutte of a Sleep
| ing Singer" Later he produced Gifts OF the
| Sea and Earth, Entrance of Charles into
! Antwerp" Cleopatra" Modern Cupids," and
''Ledad His Romeo by the Body Of Juliet is
| in the Belvedere gallery, Vienna, and his Cath
| crime Cornaro" is ia the Berlin National gallery
He received the medal of honor Paris 1868
and was medaled at Philadelphia, 1876 As an
artist, Makart was brilliant but cratic
crandose but unframed, voluptuous but
| theatrical A critic recently said of HIM: 1--WE
can get an equal amount of pleasure and
| pleasure Of the same kind That we experience in
| looking at his 'Catharine Conaro' his Entry of
| Charles into Antwerp his Hunt of Diana,
| i n looking at pile of velvets, and silks, and
artificial flowers on a handerdashers counter; at
the best, his pictures are only tableauX such as
the stage of our day produces at so much cost
His subjects are chosen only for the opportunity
they give to make display Ofhs technical ability
and he makes no account of historic truth if by
disregarding it he can gain the opportunity he
needs. A good example of this is seen in his
Entry of Charles V into Antwerp where the
main motive was to introduce the figures of the
high-born ladies of Antwerp, who displayed their
naked charms and quarreled for the honor of dis
PLAYING them in tableauX ranged along the sides
of the street throughlwhich the procession passed.
Well-born ladies of Vienna are said to have sat
to AIakart as models for this and other pictures"
Makart has been called the "Veronese of Wen
ma, and another critic once said of him: 1T is
more than doubtful, if Paul Veronese had not
enthroned Venice Crowned by Glory whether
Herr Makart would have ever painted Venice
