CNCINNATI.-The TInes-Star says:
ga remarkable discovery made last win
ter, is attracting wide spread interest. As
it involves a most important question
that Of public health, it is being dis
cussed by eminent physicians and pub
lie men. 1t Is shown COnclusively that
throat and lung troubles can be cured
without resUrting to the use of morphia
or Opium-especially dangerous in the
case of children as arresting develop
ment, and poisoning the system. The
Governor Of Maryland and all the Off
Gals of that state endorse the remedy;
the state chemists Of Delaware pro
nOunCes 1t the purest and most effective,
and hospitals and charitable institutions
in Philadelphia and other cities use it
with remarkable results. This remedy
which is only twenty-five cents a bottle,
Is Red Star Cough Cure. It is purely
vegetable; it contains no poison or mar
cotics, and is positive cure.

Skeletons.

Every physician, writes a Cincinnati
Enquirer correspondent, must have a
skeleton as part of his outfit, and there
fore their preparation is an important
feature Ia the profession Medical timer
ants have neither the time nor the IA
cilities for this work, and hence It nstur-
ally falls into the hands of the college
janitOr. Skeletons with him are an
article Of merchandise, the quotations be-
ing $50 for a very fine specimen while
an ordinary article Is offered for $50.
The important but difficult task is to
clean the bones without marring them
or leaving the marx Of the knife. It Is
not necessary TO ten how this is done.
but the process is very simple. Each
janitor may get up twenty-five skeletons
IN q season, sometimes more. This forms

very important perquisite. and indeed,
If rightly improved, his birth can be
made very profitable. There is also a
constant importation Of skeletons from
Paris, which Is carried on by the dealers
ia surgical instruments. The French
have the art Of whitening the bones in q
way never attained In this country, and
the prize is generally from $50 20 $lO0.
The Partisan establishments excel in
turning out the best skeletons Of chill
dren, and even of infants, and some Of
the latter look like dear little doll skels-
tons that one might want &c handle In
his arms or rock in the cradle. They
are very cunning looking things, these
dear little baby skeletons.

When a storm is coming don't wait for
rain before getting under cover, and don't
carry metal tools when thunder sounds
over head. Better leave the hOeing and
the hay and get into safe quarters in time
and don't sit in barn in a storm. Close
the windows Of the house, let the fire 20
down and keep out Of the room where
there Is fire. Sit in the middle Of the
largest room you can choose, away
from stoves, stOve-pipes, pillars, mirrors,
iron chairs, registers or gas hxtures-lst
alone telephones or electric lights. In 8
storm, any Of these things may conduct
lightning, and it is just IS foolish TO de-
spise these precautions as to be careless
about loaded guns. At night draw the
bed out from the corner Of the room as
far from the wall and chimney as pos
sible. Out Of door, keep away from
walls, trees, streams or wells and tels-
phone poles Seek shelter IN an open
hollow, or under bushes, choosing the
valley rather than the hilltOps or sides.
ION don't want TO take chances with
lightning, but tak5 every caution, keep
as free from fear as you can, for the
chances are in your favor. People who
take care Of themselves are not the ones
who are injured by lightning. These
precautions are condensed from good
authority.

A PICKED PORK 1u2yER.

The BossHOg Story From Col County,
Illinois.
NATION, Ill, Octocer 17.-Among all
the startling discoveries reported Of soap
mines and other rich domestic finds Ia
various quarters, none can come nearer
being an actuality than a lead struck by
some ditchers in Coles cOuntrylast week
They did not exactly find g picked pork
mine or a lard and sausage vein, but
they found the next thing to it, as viii
be seen by the following:
Five years ago Patrick Nicholson pur-
chased a farm seven miles southeast OF
of this city and has lived upon it since.
Some men were cutting a deep ditch
through a portion of his farm, when the
spade of zone struck q soft substance
eight or ten feet under ground, which,
upon investigation, proved to be the we'll
preserved body of q hug. To say lthat
they were astOunded at the find is ex-
pressing it very mildly. Some Of the
men thought they had struck a pork
mine, while others were Of the opinion
that some lOcal-optiOn dealer had run a
corner on picked pork, and the price
going down on him, had buried his stock
on hand till the market should rise to
his figure. The subject Of forming q
stock company to develop the lead was
discussed, and a handsome sum agreed
upon as the amount Of capital. 1t was
suggested that Mr.. Nicholson, the owner
Of the land, should be let into the secret,
and also made a member Of the company
out Of courtesy if nothing more. He was
summoned to the spot and questioned
about the hog, but could give no light
upon the question of how it happened
to get 50 far under ground, unless ii
might, In its animate days, have been
a scion of the famous CahOzia stock
that are trained TO root into the bowels
Of the earth.
The mystery continued to grow until q
number Of Mr.. Nicholson's neighbors
who had lived there ten to fifteen years
heard of the find, and calling upon their
retentiVe memories, we're able to explain
the cause of the hogs body being found
in the condition and place it was.
seven years ago the man from whom
| Mr.. Nicholson bought the farm Wasfeed-
/ ing eight or ten head Of hogs in a lot ad-
Joining an old abandoned well, when
| one day some person poured a cOnsid
cradle quantity of salt brine into the hog
| trough. Hog like, the greedy animals
| proceeded in short order to drink it up
| Of course, they all died from the effects
| Of the beverage; and, as the easiest
means Of getting rid of the Carcasses, the
| farmer threw them into the well and
| then filed them up. The salt in the
/ brine had picked the flesh, and the fat
/ and lean meat was plainly distinguisha
/ bic when the ditchers brought in to the
/ surface. The CarCasses Of the other ami
mails are supposed to be deeper in the
earth, but the men will 90 on ditchine

10 Prevent Burial alive.

unfortunate enough to have been buried
alive. The peculiarly Of the "csrCuell
perfeCtionne" is an ingenious piece Of

alive. The pressure Cf the earth thrown
on the coffin hbsrates g sort of stilett0,
which is 50 placed that on being olsen
gagged it pierces the heart Of the occu-
pant. An idea prevails in France that
the mistake Of burying g living person is
by no means so rare an occurrence as
could be desired. Had the "cerCueH

time he need not have asked his friends
on his death-bsd, as he did, to bury him

Wheels Not Made of Pulp.

1.-The statement that the most deli
cate watch wheels are now made of pa
per pulp in Germany is a hoax, l
think, said a prominent jeweler and
matchmaker on Broadway to a Nail
and Express representative. Il have
been in the business over forty years
and work on German. Swiss, English,
French. and American watches every
week. repairing or taking them apart.
and have not seen a wheel made OF
pulp, not even among the latest watch
es from Germany. Then from my
knowledge of machinery necessary to
years l do not think that pulp by any
process whatever can be made hard
enough to be of use. Brass and steel
are chiefly used to make watch wheels.
Platina is too hard to work and too
costly, and gold will not do for many
reasons.
Paper buckets and boats are made,
but they have no special friction COM
pared to that of watchwheel, which
runs in cogs all the time. Suppose q
process was discovered to harden pulp
to degree equal to steel; then the
question is, would it last as long as
steel? l think not. Car wheels are
made of paper, but they run them
merely on exhibition and not every day.
Steel and brass are metals formed by
natural processes during the course OF
many hundred centuries. Paper or
pulp hardened by artificial means when
not subject to constant friction may be
equal to steel or brass for certain pro-
cesses. but l imagine its durability
would be uncertain. Hard wood, OF
course, can be used for time as cog
wheels in watches. and many other
temporary tough materials, but they
are simply for exhibition and not utili-
ty. So many watches are made in
Switzerland l wonder they have not
substituted some cheap material for
steel and brass, but l didn't expect the
Germans to start at it first. Indeed,
my firm opinion is that it is mistake
about pulp being used even for big cog
wheels, much less small, delicate
ones. "--NeU York Mail and Express.

woman who, as she said herself, was saved
only little over year ago, took charge Of
the meeting and prayers, e1hortations and
testimonies followed each ether in rapid sue
cession, the singing Of hymns from the

Of which . new edition was received
last night, forming a considerable part o: the
exercises. The newly-made "recruits" at
upon the stage and assisted. One Of the
hymns sung from the "War Cry" begins:
"We are the Springfield Soldiers, 70 noble
and trse, our message 10 'salvatisn,' 90
freely offered you, y the chorus running: "Tm
Sawed, l am; know l am" in which the
audience joined as they caught the tune. The
leader read the parable of the "tares and
wheat" and expounded it with startling eject.
Then followed short prayers through the usual
programme. The writer was obliged, by calls
else where, to leave the meeting soon afte: it
was fairly under way. As he passed one of
the numerous saloons within sound
of the singing in the hall, the
shirt sleeved proprietor was standing
in the open dsor, revealing an empty house,
but for his presence. Just then the keeper of
the saloon next door east came to the door
of his place, which Was empty also. Said
sslooniss No. l to his neighbor: "Does the
Salvation Army help yomr business any?"
Said No. In reply: "Nawl should say it

thought. Tue bawdy house dances which
