a MYSTERIOUS SKELEToN.-While O
negro man was ploughing in field
near Dawkins, which had not been
cultivated for twenty years, his plough
struck something which attracted his
attention. On digging little in the
earth, he brought up the skeleton of
man. On investigator it was seen
that the back part Of the skull had been
crushed in as if by some heavy instru-
mont. There was no flesh OH tho
bones, which shows that it must have
lain there for somo length of time.

terry, as no one about Dawkins has

skeleton could have gotten there.

rho Questionable Prescriptions Published
by n Chinese Newspaper.


Smallpox Is due TO causes partly in
,ernal and partly external to tho suffer-
ng victim. The present season, being
he driost of the whole year is pecul-
arly trying to health. Some of the
conditions attendant on dry atmos-
1here have an all-poworful effect in
bringing on mankind Diseases espe-
tally smallpox As already stated in
;hese columns, smallpox has been rag
/ ng at Kongmun. in tho district of San
VI. At tho present time IL is prevalent
| n Canton and Fatshan. Sad to relate,
children in great numbers are seized
with the malady and deaths are fire.
lucnt The last circumstance has in
iuced a certain benevolent and philan-
1hropic gentleman to write us informa-
lion ON the following remedy:
I'm case of smallpox do not call
in doctor or resort to drugs, for the
incompetent among doctors are more
in number than tho competent, and
there is danger that the treatment adj
ministered will rather kill than cure.
Refrain. therefore. from sacrificing life
to the Ignorance of quacks, The true
remedy is to beat a drum in the pres
ance of the patient. No matter what
kind of a drum. Several varieties have
been tried, and always with the best re-
suits"
No sooner did this prescription reach
us than we determined to test its eff
fciency. One of our friends had
child afflicted with smallpox. The
child had leen under the influence of
the disease for several days 1t could
take no food worth speaking of. and.
moreover. the marks on the skin, in
stead of coming out, as they should do
when the disease takes favorable
turn. were beginning to disappear. A
fatal sign.
We acted on the advice sent us, and
proceeded to beat drum at the child's
bedside. The results were marvellous
The peck marks forthwith began to
show. the child's appetite returned.
and as the drum-beating was repeated
from day to day. recovery was rapid.
and finally became complete.
The advice contained in the letter
above quoted is not all given. There
is one important addition to be made
If tho patient himself beats the drum
$50 much the better"
