The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea" gets new Illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-pOOr appetite, diSOrdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head. limbs
and back, and every now and then right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine. just as he did from the
hrst-and so kept doing ali aiOng-until the
name of quinine sounds like the tolling of
the bell. Clearly between the two. her
hearth was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and it Is called some other inc in
place Of quinine, but it is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this diiema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey's Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen | tried them. They were sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health.

OF the House of Astor.

None of the ladies of the house of AS
tor are beautiful in the mere physical
sense of the word. They are all fair with
light eyes and nice figures, and they
bear, from the crown OF their heads TO
the soles of their well shaped feet, the in
delible and unmistakable stamp of good
breeding, innate refinement and all the
high and good effects of inherited blood
and culture. Mrs. William Astor has
but one son, a young fellow about 20
who is still at college.-Cor. New York

PAwNING HER BOYS CLOTHES FOR MED
ICINE. A poor woman in Wales, whose
boy had been very i'll for several years, had
expended all of her means to pay for medi-
cine. At last the doctors gave him up and
said he must die. He suffered so terribly
with rheumatism that he could not be
moved. One day some one told her about
the Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence
of the curative powers of their Extract of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothes TO buy bottle of the
remedy toiegel's Syrup, but now she feels
proud that size did So. for it was the means
of curing her son. The Shakers say that
this is the result of indigestion and that the
medicine cured the dyspepiia, and that the
was only a symptom of the
real disease.

Remarkable Collection of Pictures.

The university of PENNSYLVANIA has
just issued an important contribution to
science in the shape of a remarkable ex-
hibit of photographs, showing animals of
almost every known variety, in the vari-
GUS stages of lOcomotion. The work was
undertaken about four years ago by q
well known California photographer, who
gave his time providing the university
would foot the other expenses. BY the
use of series Of cameras brought to
bear upon the subject in quick succession,
the muscle movements Of animals in
motion, and particularly of men in the
performance Of feats of strength, are
brought out strongly. About every one
of the prominent pitchers in both the
League and American association have
been photographed in the act of pitching
and throwing the ball In all 90, 900
photographs were taken, including one of
John l.. Sullivan, the pugiIist In the
engravings made from the photographs
the faces Of the persons are not shown,
as nearly all the pictures were taken in
the nude, in order to show the muscle
and positions of the body at each success
sive motion. Before this work was under
taken it was not known just what mo-
made when in the act Of running The
work is valuable TO the scientist, but
most so to the artist in teaching him cor
rectness of posture when painting the
human form or the animal in the act of
locomOtiOn. The whole cost of the vol
ume has been $4,000. 1t is not for sale,
but was subscribed for before it was
undertaken. People all over the world
are among the subscribers-the khediye
OF Egypt, the British museum, the Bib
hotheque National of France, all the
royal societies of Berlin, Copenhagen,
Brussels and Vienna, all the leading Ii
braries in this country, and great num-
Der among the nobility of France and
England. The cost of each copy is about
800. The work has excited great inter-
est among scientific men all over the
world.-Philadelphia Cor. New York

A lady, dressed in deep mourning, was
riding in a Gloucester street car, when an
other lady, sharp of feature and inquisitive

think you have acted in u very manly,

preston OF certain unfortunate phrases at

(Signed) HERMAN G. DUNCAN,
Rector of st. james Church. Alexandria,
La, and Secretary of tho Diocese of Lou
isiana.
To tho Rev. f. S. DEMAITos.
I would say in regard to the ahoye letter
that Rev. MY. Duncan was an arbitrator in
the Episcopal church scandal here,
brought about by the disgracciul and dis
reputable language OF Il Mr.. +. s. beMattos
now acting rs Rector Of Grace church from
his chancel on Sth inst. Mr.. Duncan an-
proved OF the apology which was signed
by DeMattos and reluctantly accepted by
mo and expressed himself to inc and to
others to tho effect that the action OF De-
Mattos was ineXcusable and unbeconing
anyone and he could not understand such
an uncalled for proceeding. DR.. SAMSON OF
Vickburg, who was also here as an arhitra-
tor, expressed himself III stronger lam
guage oven than MIR. Duncan.
Now Mr.. Duncan from expressions i'll his
letter {written before he left Monroe and
now published i'll circular form by DeAlat
tos) contradicts himself and his actions
while here, by indirectly approving De-
Mattos' action, and DeMattos in publish
ing said letter reiterates the insult and
leaves the matter in the sane position as
before tho AFFECT apology was signed by
him. I have notified DeN1attos to this
effect and hold him responsible the same
as if no apology had been made, and
hereby proclaim him as not a gentleman
and a disgrace to tho church i'll whose min
istry he is supposed to serve.

With the first issue of the Telegraph from
its new quarters it enters upon its twenty
second year. During the twenty lone years
of it's existence it has had some ups and
downs, but we can safely say that it has
accomplished some good. 1t has always
been with the people in their struggle for
self government and white supremacy and
its proudest day was when those great ends
were accomplished. AS it struggled for
the views expressed above in the past SO
will it battle to maintain them in tho fu
ture. We shall, also, redouble our efforts
to make the paper an institution of useful
ness in the lettering of our educational and
social conditions, in developing the re-
sources of North Louisiana, and in advanc-
ing the interests of Monroe. Give us your
