Ben Wade's Strong Prayer.

A story told me by Senator Hender.
son about the late "Ben" Wade, Of
Ohio, sounds enthusiastically true
to the popular portraiture Of that
sturdy old abolitionists. Chief Jus.
tice fancy was in feeble health about
the close of Buchanan's administra,
ton. 1t was feared in Washington by
the abolitionists that he might die be.
fore Lincoln was inaugurated and give
Buchanan the appointment OF his sue.
cessor. In fact, he lived along until
near the close of Lincoln's first term.
At his death Lincoln, it will be remem-
bered, appointed Salmon p. Chase,
who had just been nominated for pres.
ident by a convention at Cleveland,
and was thus a rival. Some time il
1868 Henderson was sitting beside
Wade at the capitol when Chief Jus
tice fancy walked by. Wade spoke
up with much vigor: "Just look at
that old sinner-how erect and firm
he walks. Why, along in 1859 and &C
I was praying night and day that he
might live over into Lincoln's term.
Say, Henderson, it strikes me I must
have prayed too strong, eh?"-Nev

Cocaine for Hay Fever.
Hay fever, which a few years ago was

nay lever, WHICH, d1eW years ago was
supposed to exist only in the inn
agination of would-be invalids, seems
now to be an established fact. In
deed at this season of the year hun
dreds of people in the city are affiict-
ed with the aggravating malady. By
some it is called cold, and by others
catarrh, but under whatever name it
is known it is most distressing and
seemingly incurable ailment. Ply
sicans have been puzzled to suggest an
adequate remedy Professor Roberts
Bartholow, of Philadelphia, has, how
ever, stated with confidence that a
peculiar mode of applying cocaine
answers the requirements OF cure for
the disease From an editorial in the
New York Tribune we clip the Pro
fessor's views on this subject
AS soon as the remarkable function
of this agent in allaying the sensibility
of nerves of the mucous membranes
was ascertained, physicians began to
apply it to hay fever, but only within
different success except in mild cases.
The substitution of carefully prepared
tablets, orpellets, in place Of the usual
solution has apparently been singular
ly successful in England, where some OF
the most obstinate cases have yielded
to treatment. The tabloids, as they
are called there, contain one sixth of
grain of hydrochlorate of cocaine,
and are inserted in thenasal passages,
the nostrils beingclosed until the drug
has time to dissolve and affect the SEN
sitive parts generally. The Lancet has
published several accounts ofcomplete
cures effected by this treatment. The
attention Of the medical profession in
this country has already been attract
ed by these favorable results. Suffer
ers from hay fever may, therefore, be
encouraged to hope that means have
been devised for their permanent re-
lief.

Homeopathic Perfumes.

The odoriferous molecule of musk
must be incomprehensibly small, when
we are told the particles one grain of
musk had, in radius Of ninety feet
disengagedin one day. No microscop-
ical power has yet been conceived to
enable the human eye to see one Of
these atoms; yet the organs Of smell
have the sensitiveness to detect them.
We cannot imagine their smallness. as
it is stated that the same: grain Of
musk undergoes absolutely no dimi-
mutton in weight. a single drop Of the
oil OF thyme, ground down with q
piece ofssugar and a little alcohol, will
communicate its odor to twenty five
gallons OF water. Haller kept for forty
years papers perfumed with one grain
OF ambergris. After this time the odor
was as strong as ever. Bordenave
has VALIDATED molecule of camphor
sensible to the smell to 1920, $751;
OOOth Of q grain. Boyle has observed
that one drachm Of assafoetida ex-
posed to the open air had lost in six
days the eighth part Of onegrain, from
which Keill concludes that IN one min.
ute it had lost SO, 12Oth Of a grain.

finds it's way back into the bank. You
know it is an old saying that a bank
never considers itself loser, no matter
what is drawn out, but simply loan-
ing the money to the lucky individual,
to be paid back to him. A short time
ago there was q dealer who tackled the
game from the opposite side of the
table from where he is used to sitting
and cashed i'm $500 off a fve-dollar
bill
"He went out with the boys that
night and blowed it in. The next

Another thing: There are q number
of persons here, as elsewhere, who are
in the habit of stalking gamblers, who,
as a rule, never pay them back, even
if they win. They will pay back one
of their own class, but hardly ever an
outsider.
! "You see, although there are some
gamblers who are honorable, the ma

smooth it over as they will, most men
who depend upon gambling for a liv-

''It is Lilla,' I thought, and reach

she did not answer, only twined her
two arms about my neck. "Why,

The country adjacent to the creek was COM

one only one person was drowned but is is
feared that many have persisted above and

than ever known in this section. The city
water-works were submerged, and it is
feared are total loss The damage at the
