The lncurable Cured-A Plain Statement
of Facts.
My mother, Mrs. Feathers, has had a.
cancer of the womb for many months.
Last winter the doctor told us it was can
Ger, and could net be cured. Five diff
ferent physicians in private practice have
said the same thing. Weloek her to the
woman's hospital of this city, and there
they repeated the same story. DR.. EN-
nett told us it was cance-, and she must
die. We then took her to New York
College Hospital, and they told us the
same thing there-that she had cancer
and could live but very short time.
she awaited patiently the coming of death
ment of the Swift Specific Co., and as
a drowning man grasps at straw" we
went tc the Office of the company, and
the physician told me to try it-that it
could do her no possible harm, and that
it would cure her. She had lost great
deal of flesh and strength, and it seemed
folly to give her medicine after what we
had been told. However, we commenced
the S. S. s., and kept 1t up month be-
fore we began to see any improvement.
From that time on her general health
improved, and she was soon raised from
bed. The discharge increased so much
that it frightened us, but we kept on,
and the cancer came away in great sloughs
and Jumps. For two months there has
been no hemorrhage, no sign of dis
charge. Thank God, my mother is we'll.
She is still at my house, and will be glad
to speak for herself at any time.

HOW TO ACT IN 4 TORNADO.

John P. Finley, signal service officer,
has published, in pamphlet on lorna
does. some useful directions concerning
the course to be taken to escape the
dangers of these terrible forces The
inhabitant of tornado requented dis
trict must be watchful in the season of
visitation, for he can never know when
the destruction will come upon him. On
the first sign of the approaching vortex,
he must run-always to the north, un-
less by going IN that direction he will
have to cross the entire path of the storm.
II he is nearer to the southern edge than
to the center of the probable path. lie
may 60 south, bearing slightly east; but
but in no event should he ever run d.
rectly to the east or northeast. 1t is
lie in the path of the tornado, or any
property that cannot be got out of the
way. No material, no method of con-
struction can be competent to resist
the raging destruction. Nothing rising
above the ground can escape it. The
most practical measure of precaution is
to construct dug out" at some suitable
point, within easy distance of the house,
to serve as place of refuge or shelter.
The retreat should lie entirely under
ground, with a roof at least three feet
thick, net rising above the earth, and
entered from the northern or eastern
side. A"cellar cave" may be constructed
from the cellar, if the house has one, to
serve as substitute for the dug out"
1t should be excavated from the west
wall of the cellar, toward the west, and
should be made as complete and secure as
the ''dug-out." If, however, the storm
can not be escaped, if no refuge is at
hand. or there is not time to get to it, the
safest thing TO do is to place ones self
against the west wall of the cellar, face
forward or against the south wall, as
near the southwest corner as possible.
The northeast quarter is in any case 4
fatal position, and should be avoided.
If one IS actually overtaken by the lorna
do, his only resource is to cast himself
face downward upon the ground with
his head to the east and his arms thrown
over his head to protect it. if stump
or large lstone, or anything heavy that
the wind will not blew over is near, he
may get tritle of protection by throw
ing himself to the eastward of it. If in
a house with no cellar, he should get in.
to the west room, on the ground floor if
possible, and away from stoves and heavy
furniture. The people of towns might
find it to their advantage to provide for
having watch, to be on duty on all days
when the air bears the premonit0ry sYmp-
toms Of violent wind storm, to give
signal to the whole population on the ap.
pearance of the first real threatening signs.
The signs of the formation and approach
of the tornado-cloud are distinct and
sufficiently suggestive to afford opportu-
nifty for timely and concerted action.

White and COL Costumes.

Shade hats trimmed with white null, &C.
cording to the fashion in India, are being
adopted by ladies at the seashore, and is very
effective in keeping off the suns rays.
The rage is for white wool frocks this sum-
mer. They are sold literally by the thou
sands, and are by this time dotting the shore
from Maine to Florida, wherever q beach
draws bathers or strollers or lazier loungers
under big umbrellas on the ribbed sea-sands
The materials preferred for white wool sea-
side suits are f1annels, fine or coarse, cheaper
than the white English cloths, of which some
are made for those who can or will afford
them; Isle of Wight serge, a new and hand
some non-crushable stuff; Bison cloths. can
vas of many kinds of weaves, and armure
and Grape veiings when q lighter fabric is
desired.
The plain, smooth and white nuns veilinps
and cashmeres are relegated to house wear
this season. Very pretty and tasteful, as
well as inexpensive, white dresses are made
of these materials, trimmed with the beauti-
full imitation laces which have come into such
extensive use of late years.
Sometimes these frocks are SO covered with
deep volantes, aprons Or tabliers and entire
fronts and back draperies, or both of these
Oriental or Egyptian laces, that they looK
mere like lace than a yelling of cashmere
dress.
White canvas cloth made over q colored
slip is very stylish and becoming.
White duck vests are very pretty when worn
with biack silk costumes, in which case the
trimming should be of gilt buttons, in one or
two rows.

daintiest thing for young girls to wear with

shade and Garden HINTS.

Among the new extremely broad brimmed
hats which society girls are again affecting
those known as the Alsatian peasant hats Of
white Manila or Dunstable straw, faced With
ruby or black velvet, and trimmed outside
with white crepe lisse scarfs and Immensely
long white pluules which droop above and
nearly cover the front and sides of the brirn.
White sailor hats, trimmed simply with q
scarf aud loops of white illusion. with q clus-
ter of white roses and pale green leaves in
tertwined, are the next modes in popular
favor for general wear with summer toilets
In the trimming of the picturesque shade
and garden hat new fancies have come out in
artificial flowers, and the manner in which
they are used is novel.
A rope, or a great torsade or twist of arti-
fetal grass of cord-like fibre now supplies
that place of the drapery or the ribbon band
around the crowns of many of the most
pleasing of the summer hats for watering
places and the country, the ends of the grass
forming stiff, pompon-iike tufts in front, Or
at the left of the front, supplemented by
cluster of fine, many-petaled roses, most
frequently without foliage.
A model garden hat is of white rough
braid, the broad, capricious brim faced with
plated point d'esprit net a torsade of succu-
lent-looking grass and large, full, fresh pink
roses, shading to red in the center, forming
the outside trimming.

Discovery of a Remarkable Temple
Beneath the Great Statue.

A great effort has at last been made to
solve the enigma which for ages has re-
NAMED mystery to man. 1t is the great
Sphinx which is about to reveal its secret
and why it was erected. & company of
explorers under the direction of Maspero,
have been excavating for some time back
around the base of the colossus. These ex-
cavations have disclosed temple which is
SAID to be the oldest in the world. 1t has
no resemblance to any of the other Egyptian
temples. For few months the marvellous
Sphinx of Ghizeh wRl remain, perhaps for
the FIRST time since the days of Moses, free
from the earth in which it was buried and
we Will perhaps discover the reason of its
existence. The figure which we reproduce
to-day Will not perhaps resemble the an
Gent dame we see in so many sculptures,
still it possesses merit of its own mas
much as it is copied from photograph re-
