him They were seen 70 strike the man on
the head several times with their revolv-
ers. After Selling him they did not carry
him 10 FL Paso, but crossed the Rio Grande
by fording holding the prisoner between
them The officers said the prisoner was
an escaped Mexican thief, and although
the Sante Fe workmeu knew the MeXicans
had no right 10 pursue the fugitive into
Texas. they did not interfere. because the
fugitive was an alleged Mexican. Now
comes the discovery that the fugitive was
an American, Columbus Brown, born and
raised in California, who had been charged
by store keeper in Pa,o del Norte. with
stealing shawl. Brown vehemently

try are greatly excited over the announce
ment that Mgr. Capel who came hero

Pain.

Pain being the result of too much blooC
in part as a very general rule, the remedy
in severe and pressing cases, is TO apply Z
mustard-plaster near that part, which draws
the blood sway as is seen by the reddenine
of the skin.
The most agonizing pains are often remov.
ed in the twinkle of an eye by dipping a BIZ
of cloth (woolen, flannel or cotton) in mix
ture of equal parts of sweet oil, chloroform
and strong spirits of hartshorn, just shaken
together and spread over the spot, with a
handkerchief wadded in the hand and held
over the cloth so as to retain the more VIOLA
tile ingredients; to be removed the moment
the pain ceases.
The safest and most comfortable applica.
ton in nature for the relief of all pain, espe-
cially that arising from inflammation, is a
wooden cloth kept very warm, even, hot, by
the steady addition of hot water, or a stream
of warm water, where the painful part adj
mits il. When pain is severe, sharp orihrill-
ing there is inflammation, and arises from
there being too much blood in the arteries ;
If dull and heavy, it is caused from there be-
ing too much blood in the veins
The pain of inflammation gives heat {;
hence headache with hot head is from too
much blood in the arteries, and there is
lhrobbing draw it away by putting the feet
in very hot water; this often removes pain
in any part of the body above the ankles.
When there is too much blood in the veins
of the head there is a dull pain or great de-
preston of spirits, and the feet are always
cold, 1t is this excess Of blood in the veins
of the head or brain which always induces
the dependency which so frequently causes
suicide. When this is attempted by cutting
the throat the relief is instantaneous and the

laughter or a terrible burst ofpassion, by dis.
persing the blood to the surface from the
centres, puts the blues and megrims to flight

Faith Cures of Other Days.

There is the story of the French criminal
who died because he believed that lie was be.
ing bed to death, when in reality his arms
were only pricked, and sound of trickling
water made to initiate the noise of the blood
flowing forth. In the same way it is record.
ed how Mr.. Loutherbourg cured large num-
bers ofpatents by attacking the imagination
Among those who visited him was man
who had been troubled with great pains and
swelings, particularly about bis loins, so
that he could not walk across the room. On
entering Mr.. Loutherbourg looked steadfast-
ly at him, and said: II know your complaint,
look at me-" They continued looking at
each other for some minutes; then Mr. Lou
therbourg asked if he did not feel some
warmth at his loins, whereupon the man re-
piled that he did. Then you will feel in a
lew moments much greater warmth"
After a short pause the man said II feel
as if person were pouring boiling water
upon me-"
Still looking in his face, Mr. Loutherbourg
said: Glow did you come here, sir ?" ain a
coach" "Then go and discharge your coach
and walk back TO town" The coach was
discharged and the patient walked back to
town, and the next day he walked five hours
about town without fatigue.
Similarly, Sidney Smith relates how the
banker poet Rogers caught bad cold simply
from imagining q window to be open, but
which all the time was shut. 1t was at din
ner party, and the great sheet of plate glass
had deceived Rogers, who was sitting in
what he thought to be- dangerous draught.

An AnecdOte for Architects.

! Architects are fond of telling an amusing
story which tends to illustrate the difference
between house builders and members of their
| own profession. 1t appears that Mr.. Alex
ander, an eminent English architect was in
n certain lawsuit under cross examination
by q distinguished barrister who wished to
detract from the weight ofhis testimony, and
who, after asking him his name, proceeded
you are builder, ! believer"
mo, sill" was the reply, II am not build.
er; am an architect"
"They are much the same | suppose?'
81 beg your pardon, sir; | can not admit
that; consider them to be totally different"
ooh, indeed perhaps you will state where
in this great difference exists"
IAN architect, sill" replied Mr.. Alexander,
"'conceives the design, prepares the plan,
draws out the specifications-in short, sup
plies the mind; the builder is the bricklayer
or the carpenter. The builder, in fact, is the
machine; the architect, the power that puts
the machine together and sets it going"
Oh, very well, Mr.. Architect" said the
lawyer; land now, after your ingenious dis
linction without difference, perhaps you
can inform the court who was the architect
of the Tower of Babel ?"-to which question
MIR. Alexander made the prompt and telling
rejoinder:
There was no architect, sir, and hence the
confusion."-S. NichOIaS

Ancient and Modern Bellies.

The belle ola century ago was born as bellies
are now, but at birth the similarity of the
ancient and modern belle ceases.
The ancient belle was rocked in rough
wooden cradle and was warmly clad with
buffalo robes and wolfskns and the rocking
was done by mothers foot while she washed
sewed and mended.
The baby belle of to-day is daintily clad in
purple and fine linen, and is rocked to sleep
by the hired girl while the mother plays soft
music on the grand piano.
The girl belle OF IL century ago wore dresses
woven by the brawny hands of mothers
love, and shoes fashioned and made on q
home made last
The modern belle wears dainty store shoes
and silken hosiery. The young lady belle of
century ago had dimpled rosy cheeks paint
cd by nature in imitation of the rose.
The modern young lady belle has red dim
pied cheeks painted with brush in imitation
of Dutch barn.
The belle Of century ago could be found
by her mothers side in the Kitchen washing,
wringing, cleaning and cooking, while the
belle of to-day is found sitting on an easy
chair at the parlor window, watching the
dudes, while the mother is watching the tub
and wringer in the cellar kitchen.
The belle of century ago was strong,
grand and good. The belle of TO day is weak,
puny and good for nothing.
AS woman was created to be the compan.
ion and wife of man, SO the belle or dudess
was made for the companion and wife of the
dude. c. NJ. l..

The Welsh Leek.
Chambers Journal

CndtnDcfS journal.
The little kingdom Of Wales, early unit
ed TO her more powerful neighbor ofEngland,
has distinctive badge drawn from the vcge-
table world. The origin of the Welsh leel is
traced back to the seventh century On ST.
David's day, GAO, the Welsh under Cadwaler
were marching against an English army, and
wishing to adopt badges which might distu-
guish them from their enemies, they availed
themselves of those most easily obtain
ed Each man plucked a leek from the
field through which he was passing and stuck
it in his cap. The Welsh arms were victor
ious the leek was adopted in the grateful
memory of the event as the national emblem,
and was long worn by loyal Welshmen on
every anniversary ofSt. David's day In
Shakespeares play of Henry ", that prince
claims the right by birth at Monmouth to
wear the eek 1t would appear, also, that
the Welsh contingent Of the English
army had worn this emblem at the battle of
Poicters We recollect that leek in da-
monds occupied a prominent place in pres
ent given by the ladies of the principally of
Wales to the Princess Of Wales on the occa-
sion of her marriage
