The Lessons of "Unscr Fritz" Case.

The greatest doctors in Europe don't seem to known what ails "Unser Fritz"
 Thus are the Garfield and Grant episodes repeated, and public confidence in ''oxpert" medical knowledge is Q gain shaken.
 The efectis g revulsion.
 Since the fatal days of 1883 many of tie doctrines of the schoolmen concerning OK tensive medication havo becn abandoned, and all schools of practice are more and more relying upon oldfashioned simple root and herb preparations and careful nursing-the only reliances known to our ancestors.
 These methods and reliauces are illustrated to-day in a series of old-fashioned roots and herbs preparations recently given to tho world by tho well-known proprietors of Warmers safe ecure-preparations made from formulas possessed by many of our oldest families, and rescued for popular use, and is- sued under the happy designation of War ner's Log Cabin Remedies.
 My son, exclaimed a venerable woman to the writer when he was boy, "My son you're yeller and pale and weak like lookin', you're needin' a. good shaking up with some sasparir."
 A jug of spring sarsaparilla was just as necessary in the "winter supplies of fifty years ago as was barrel of pork, and a famous medical authority says that the very general prevalence of the use of such prep aration as Log Cabin Sarsaparilla explains the rugged health of our ancestors.
 While Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla is OA CAS0AtClu 1eIiIouy 1OI dll S0dSOuS OI UQ0 year, it IS particularly valuable in the spring, when the system is full Of sluggish blood and requires a natural constitutional tonic and invigorator to resist colds and pneumonia, and the effects of long winter. Philo M Parsons, clerk of the City Hotel of Hartford, Conn, was prostrated with cold which, he said. seemed to settle through my body. neglected it and the result was my blood be- came impoverished and poisoned, indicated by infianned eyes. I was treated, but my eyes grew worse I was obliged to wear shade over them. l feared that I would be obliged to give up work"
 "Under the operation of Wlner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and Liver Pills" he says, 'the sore and inflamed eyes disappeared. My blood, I know, is in healthier condition than it has been for years. I have a much better appetite. I shall take several more bottles for safety's sake. Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla is great purifier and 1 most heartily recommend it."
 few bottles of Warmers Log Cabin Sar- saparilla used in the family now will save many a week of sickness and many a dollar of bills. Use no other. This is the oldest, most thoroughly tested, and the best, is put up in the largest sarsaparilla bottle on the market, containing 120 doses There is no other preparation of similar name that can equal it. The name of it's manufacturers is e guarantee of it's superior worth.
 While the great doctors wrangle over the technicalities of an advanced medical science that cannot cure disease, such simple prepa. rations yearly snatch millions from untime- ly graves.

After COOns in New Jersey.

These cold moonlight nights are the best ill the year for coon hunting. Hun dreds of men and boys in Atlantic and Cape May counties are out every night now after coon. Their shouts and the noise of their guns can be heard over Q region of nearly sixty miles. Dogs are used to trail the creatures. When these dogs, which are usually the little keen scented beagles, are started out at night they know that it means coon or nothing, and that no variation in the chase in the way of running rabbit is permitted. With short, shattered, cres cendo barks, the hounds dash into the woods after perhaps indulging in brief scrapping match or two on their own ac count. If there be 8 coon within a quarter of mile of them the hounds are quick to find it out. The coon at once begins to double and twist, in the hope of throwing his pursuers off the trail. But the hounds, as unerring as the hand of fate, follow him in his woodland pill grims progress, here, there and every where. Once in Q while with almost human intelligence, the coon will take to the tree tops and travel from limb to limb for mayhap fifty yards. Then it IS
 likely that the hounds will search in vain for the missing animal. Again the coon will chamber up big bush, and, clutching hanging branch, swing backward and forward few times until he has gained enough momentum to cast himself across wide brook. But old coon hounds know these little tricks.
 The leading dog regains the trail and the others scatter on each side and run abreast of him. It is not long before the dogs get close up to the fugitive animal. The coon soon reaches its abode and has hardly whisked it's tail in out of sight before the baying dogs are at the foot of the tree. There they sit and bay until the arrival of the hunters. Sounding the tree by striking it with an ax, the men are able to tell how far down it's trunk the hollow extends. At it's base is the coon's nest. Just above it axmen begin to cut hole and the coon, frightened by the noise, deserts his nest, takes to the dead limbs above and Is readily picked off with shot from skillful marksman. -iMaI and Express.

THE COLOR LINE. The Episcopal Church in the South is Excited Over It.

Intense interest centered in tho Episcopal Easter elections at Charleston, s. C., to choose delegates to the Diocesan Convention, which meets in May. Most of the churches are di- vided, the cergymen being in favor of the ad- mission of colored delegates and the laity .op-- posed to it. Bishop Howe recently published take active interest in the election and elect delegates to the Convention who would uphold the clergy. The Bishops pastoral seems to have been without effect. All the delegates who seeded from the last Convention were re- elected It is understood that the delegates will not attend the May Convention unless the clergymen agree to compromise, which was promised some time ago, and they propose to dispose of the negro by establishing . sep lrate stationary dlocese ol ooiorsd ehuruhss under n oeo4re3 e& Wh1is 1sxhaps.

WHAT THE WOMEN WANT. Equal Opportunities for Education
 and Equal Pay for Work.

The following official statement has been issued by the International Council of Women:
 It is the unanimous voice of the council that all institutions of learning and of profession al instruction, including schools of theology, law and medicine, should in the interests of humanity be as freely opened to women as to men
 That opportunities for industrial training should be as generally and as literally provided for one sex as for the other; and the representa- tives of organized womanhood in this Council will steadily demand that in all avocations in which both men and women engage, equal wages shall be paid for equal work; and, finally. that an enlightened society should de- ma nd the only adequate expression of the high civilization which it is it's office to establish and maintain--an identical standard of personal purity and morality for men and women.

TO SAVE HIS SON.
MT. Brooks Appeals to the People
 to Help Him Save Hugh.

Samuel W. Brooks, father of Hugh Nj. Brooks, alias ''W. H. L. Maxwell, , has written a long and touching appeal to the American people to help him save his boy from the gall lows. The St. Louis Post Dispdtch prints the appeal, which fills nearly seven columns. The elder Brooks gives his reason for asking pub lie assistance in this way. The injustice of his sons trial and the hardships of the Mis- souri State laws, which operate entirely in the defendants chances, the incompetence of two jurors, the errors in the criminal Judges instructions, the failure of the Court to admit proof of the prisoners good character, the sup pression of evidence, and, particularly, the which an alleged confession was gotten from Brooks through detective incarcerated in the same jail in St. Louis. are all urged in, meas ured and respectful, but strong language.

How to Stamp a Letter.

'Out of the millions of persons who stamp letters daily, but few know the way ..to do the licking" remarked 8 stamp purveyor at the post-office.
 (Which is the right way?" queried a listener2
 "Why, the envelope ought to be licked, not the stamp. If you lick the envelope and then apply the stamp, it will stick, sure. If you lick the stamp you arc liable to carry away all the mu cilage on your tongue, or so much that the stamp will fall off. Many letter has reached the Dead-letter Office be- cause the sender licked the stamp instead >of the envelope"

GERMANY'S ARMY.
The Emperor Describes His Ideas
 of Its Needs.

In 3 rescript addressed to Gen. von Schel- lendorff, the Minister of War, Emperor Frederick says:
 Like his Majesty, my father, I shall devote my immediate and unremtting attention to my army. The infantry drill regulations in- trodueed by the late Emperor and King, and subjected to repeated changes to suit the times, have, up to the present, proved satisfac- tory, but they now require alteration in order to meet the demands upon the soldiers arising from the progress made in the art of manufac- turing firearms, and to provide time for a more thorough individual drilling and a more uniform and strict training of the men.
 With this view desire especially to draw attention to the expediency of doing away with the system of formation in treble ranks. It Is not used in war and can be dispensed with in time of peace. desire also to see the alterations thns required 30 arranged that men ann wifhout speoial traini1g adapt thcmsslves
