hag~In the Clinical Record DIR. Hol-
land relates that one of his lady patients
once called on 'psychometric healer
who greatly impressed her by his pre-
science in telling her that she suffered
from occasional headache and pain in
the side due to the fact that her liver
was bound back to her diaphragm.
The lady thought that only man of
diabolical inside could have discovered
her syptoms without an examination and
she fastened nervously to her physician.
There she was informed that almost
every woman patient doctor has is a
sufferer from headache and sideache,
and that she would be in bad way in
deed if her liver were not anchored in
the manner stated by the charlatan.

Alleged Successful Treatment of
HydrOphObia.

A native surgeon, M. Nursimula, has
written a letter to the editor of the
Times of India, from which it would
appear that he has treated successfully
a case having all the symptoms of hy-
drophobia. The treatment adopted
was the subcutaneous injection of a
sixteenth of a grain of atropia. The
breathing became infrequent (I2 per
minute), and the pulse slowed to the
rate of 50 per minute. A quarter of a
grain of morphia was injected hypo-
dermically as an antidote to the afro
pia, and this was repeated several times.
The symptoms disappeared the third
day after the onset of the malady.
The patient was soldier, aged twenty
four, who had been bitten by dog the
week before the symptoms resembling
hydrophobia. If the case were one OF
hydrophobia, it must be allowed that
the period of incubation was very short ;
the dog is not stated to have been
mad, and it must not be forgotten that
the presence of symptoms closely re-
sembling, if not identical with, hydro
phobia does not br0ue that the case was
one of genuine rabies.-Lancet.

waist ribbon, with long streamers in
front and behind, anklets and kneelets
of colored fax, and small netted bag

Story Of a Vision.

CENTRALIA, I'LL, June 19.-Particulars
singular adoption have been published
here, and ale doubly interestly in Centralia
owing to the social prominence of the fos-
ter parents, Col. and Mrs. l.. F. Casey
Having no children, they determined to a.
dept baby girl if suitable one could be
found. One night two years ago, Mrs.
Casey and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas
Casey, of Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, retired together,
and before going to sleep chatted about the
proposed adoption. When the CONVEX
sation had ended Mrs. Casey was electrified
by vision of childish loneliness at her side.
A baby girl with large brown eyes and
auburn ringlets, lay there sinking and
cooling, and silently supplicating for good
night kiss. She stopped over to caress the
beautiful vision, and it vanished. Being
wide awake, the incident made deep i'm
preston on her. Not many days later a
stranger appeared, bearing a little girl in
his arms. He explained his mission. He
had heard of the desire of Col. and Mrs.
Casey to adopt child, and he had come to
them with this, his only daughter. He
was anxious that she should receive good
education and all the advantages of cheer
full home, which he felt unable to give her.
Thus speaking, the stranger placed the lit
tie one on the floor. Mrs. Casey, from the
moment of the strangers entrance, had
been staring fixedly at the child IN his arms.
The baby had the large brown eyes, the
auburn locks and the smiles of her vision.
When released the little one rushed fearless
ly into Mrs. Casey's outstretched arms
"This is my little child" she exclaimed
rapturously. "There is the one want.''-
The baby returned the kisses and caresses,
and Mrs. Casey explained the cause of her
emotion. The adopted daughter was nam
ed Vision. That was two years ago. 1t
has recently been discovered that she is the
great granddaughter of Commodore Oliver
Perry.

suspension of the consequent suspension Of
the production of iron in that section are
driving the trade in that article to the South,
where the iron industry, like grace, grows
day by day. The manufacturers of iron
whose plants are in the South are steadily
enlarging them and increasing their product
in order to supply the rapidly growing de-
mand for it that is induced by the low rates
at which they can afford to sell it by reason
of the superior natural facilities they enjoy
for it's production. With tariff that would
not enable Northern iron manufacturers, by
the protection it affords them, to continue

no YOU KNOW HIM.

eThere was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise,
For when he marked his prices down,
He then did advertise"
"And when he saw his trade increase,
With all his might and main,
He marked still lower every price,
And advertised again."

And when he advertised again,
His rivals stamped and tore
To see folks rush with might and main,
To patronize that store.
And while they sat in solitude,
Not selling even pin.
That man behind the counter stood
And raked the shekels in.
And when he raked the shekels in,
And saw his fortune rising.
He took goodiy lot of ''tin"
And kept on advertising.
Each day a genuine sum he'd seek,
And demonstrate full plain
The more one pays for printers ink,
The greater will be his gain.

Read it and be made wise,
For If you are business man,
You certainly will advertise.

on the stove. The oven was filled with

awaiting on a brown dish its turn to be
baked. But the pig never entered the oven,

pen, the animal made for it open-mouthed,
when the locust flew into it's mouth, and
stopping the hogs wiz pipe, killed the

death was so mysterious as to induce a

in the investigation that the sow's death

ONE Of the things that comforts us great
ly in Mr.. Cleveland's mode of dealings with
Republican officeholders who want to play

which he and his subordinates have pigeon

did Huidekoper, the nom partisan postmas-

a file of the Richmond Wing for the last

as he does not mind changing his mind in
