A Strange Case .

Last evening about o'clock young man
was riding bicycle at Third and Y streets,
when he heard strange noise issuing from
the willows on the bank of the slough. 1t
was of such distressing nature that he dis
mounted and proceeded to investigate He
discovered woman in the slough, some
distance from the shore, and calling to
Chinaman who was passing for assistance,
they soon brought her to the shore. She
was about forty years of age, had no shoes
on, and apparently was demented. She
gave her name, which the young man in
his excitement forgot, said she had left the
hospital, and had valise at hotel in this
CITY, where there was good looking, gray
haired proprietor, but could not give
the name of the hotel. She appeared
to be thankful for her preservation from
drowning. The bicyclist, after getting her
TO shore, told her to remain with the China
man and he would go and get hack and
take her to comfortable quarters This
she consented to aud the young man
rode rapidly to the police station. After
leaving her some eight blocks this
side he met a number of young men
to whom he detailed the circumstances,
and they at once went TO the place desig-
mated. When they arrived they found no
woman nor no Cinnamon. AS soon as the
police were notified they went down and
with lanterns they searched the country
all around, but were unable to find any
thing but her hat. The police are of the
opinion that the Chinaman ran off and
left her, and that she then drowned herself.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
Sales Made Yesterday In Chicago An
New York.

new YORK.
A telegram from Chicago yesterday SAYS {:
!" On the Fourth of July there was no auc-
ton sale Of California fruit here, but the
sales for Monday, Tuesday and to.day have
aggregated twenty cars, of which sixteen
were green Bartlett pears. the bulk of
which were too green for Immediate use and
had TO be stored by the buyers This great
quantity of pears, coming into the market
upon the heels of the heavy shipments of
last week, has depressed prices SO that
pears were selling TO day at from 81 05 to
81 10 per box. 1t is hoped that the sup
plies can be better regulated, so that this
market will receive all the fruit it can bear,
but no more. The prices realized for
other fruits were very satisfactory,
early peaches selling for 81 80 to 81 80
Early Crawford peaches 81 % and purple
Decane plums at from 81 50 to 81 25" A
telegram from New York gives the follow
lowing account of the sale there yesterday
" At p. II. to-day four carloads OF fruit
were auctioned here, one sent by the Cali

party. Prices ruled high as the fruit was
all in very good order. Bartlett pears, So 10
to So per box. Hale's early peaches, So 45
prunes, So 05 TO So so, and plums. 81 IS to
81 30. One mixed car sold for about 81 600
gross. The attendance was the largest of
the season, and as the market is entirely
bare OF all California fruits, except Bart
let's, bidding was lively. Peaches, especi-
ally, were in strong demand and will be

With such prof as the following letter
from W. II. Dean, of No. 27S Seventh
street, New York. it Is not necessary to
make the bare assertion that ALLCoCK's
Porous PLAsTERs cure lumbago. Mr..
Dean says:
Some ten days ago l was taken with a
very violent pain in the small of my back.
1t was SO severe that l could hardly
breathe; every movement caused great
agony. 1 finally found ont it was lumba-
60. Being entirely helpless, a friend sent
to a druggist and got two ALLoocK's Po-
EoUs PLAsTERs; these were we'll warmed
and applied to my back, one above the
other. In half an hour, to my great delight
and surprise, 1 found the pain began to
abate. In two hours l was able to walk
out and attend to my business, the pain be-
ing almost gone. Next day l was all right
but continued wearing the plasters for a
week.

Referring to the paragraph that ap-
peared in some Of the daily papers last
week of the restoration to sight through
a fash of lightning at WOlverhampton
of a collier who some time ago lost his
sight through an accident. we think,
says the London Electrical Rcriew, that
this Is a matter which should occupy
the attention of those medical gentle
men who are interested in the applica-
ton of electricity for curative pur-
poses. Some time back DR.. Lawrence
was trying some very interesting ex-
perIments with regard to reducing the
thickenlng of the albumen of the eye
by passing light currents of electricity
through the ball to reduce it to fluid.
He tried his experiment by heating in
water the white of an egg, and after
having caused it to set %reliquefed 1t
with great success by passing currents
through it. The medical profession
might now institute a series Of exper-
iments upon the influence of electric
shocks in cases OF partial or total blind
ness, and we will undertake to say that
the results would make the study well
worth pursuing.

Where Log Cabins Flourish,

A party of American gentlemen, VINO
had been camping out on an ISLAND IN
the great Lake Nipissing, Canada, last
summer, were returning in u saiSDoat
and we're yet seven miles from port
when the sun went down, and with IL
the sailing breeze.
A d~iscouraging situation, truly.
"Never mind, L can row you there
inside of two hours" said the guide
who had charge OF the party. as their
murmurs arose
"why, man, 1t is sever miles, there
are four of as in this heavy boat-its a
big job you undertake" said one.
"No matter. 1 have done the likes
before and can do it again, /" chesrfully
replied the broad shouldered Irlshman.
as he slowed away the sail and bent to
the oars. He was a splendid oarsman
aud the boat was Don under Roadway
again.
"What would / not give to enjoy
your health and strength" remarked
the Professor.
Eyes, I am pretty healthy, and
though 1 am past sixty / feel as strong
as ever" replied the guide. But
only three years ago / stood at
deaths door, and never thought to
pull an oar again. You see, 1 was in
the woods all winter, logging, and l
got into the water one day and caught
cold. 1t settled on my lungs and !
had a bad cough which hung on Till
ran down almost to a skeleton"
"Call in a physicianp"
Eyes. 1 went twenty miles through
the bush to see a doctor; he gave me
some medicine, but it didn't help me
much"
"How was the cure effected?"
San old Scotch lady. who had come
over from the States, gave me a prep
aration Of balslms and herbs, which
she said the early settlers in America
used, and it soor stopped my cough and
put me on my feet again."
One has but to travel along the from
tier to learn how easy it is to get along
without doctors. and how effective are
the natural remedies which the old
grandmothers know how to prepare.
They often cure where the best physi-
clans fail.
Every mother Of a family knows how
coughs and colds are quickly and radi'
cally cured with syrups and teas made
from balsams and herbs which "grand-
mother taught us how to make"
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con-
sumption remedy was, after long inves-
tigation into the merits and comparison
with other old time preparations, Sc
lected from them because proved to be
the very best of them all. 1t has
brought back the roses to manO a pal
lid cheek-there is no known remedy
its equal as a cure for coughs and
colds.

According to all accounts the new
''Lebel rifle" ia a wondrous weapon,
and is destined to do terrible things In
the hands of the French soldiers. The
members of the Academy Of Medicine,
wishing to diagnose the physical con-
sequences Of wounds inflicted by the
bullets of the gun. recently had exper-
iments made on twenty corpses, prob
ably those of paupers whom nobody
owned. or those ill.fated waits picked
np at the morgue. The bodies were
placed at the original firing distance
from 200 yards up to a mile or so. The
bullets whizzed through the bones and
pierced them without fracturing them,
as is done by the bullets of the 'Gras
rife.n The wounds, If they may be
called so, which were inflicted, were
small in their punctures, and conseQu-
emily very dangerous and difficult to
heal. Injuries inflicted at short dis.
tances were SO considerable that, in the
opinion of the surgeons, they would be
almost incurable. AT the longest
ranpe-2OO0 meters a poplar tree was
hit. but the bullet did not go through
the tree. At 1900 meters the tree was
pierced through. The discharges of the
fife are accompanied by smoke, and
the reports are comparatively feeble.

Log Cabin Grandmothers.

An Indiana doctor has recently dis
covered in a common weed whose
medicinal qualities have neve before
| been suspected, a valuable remedy foi
bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
out this fact.
abNothing.
And vet the very simplicity OF the
new discovery would, with some, seem
to throw Just doubt upon its power.
To make it one has only 10 pour hot
water over the leaves of the plant. In
It's preparation no vast chemical WORKS
and appliances are required.
Is 1T to be wondered at since such
plainly prepared remedies are account
ed as of such great merit in these days,
that such wonderful results attended
our grandmothers, whose teas and In
fusions OF roots and herbs and balsams,
have exerted so great an influence in
the maintenance OF health and lifeY
Certainly netl
The greatest pieces of machinery
strike US most by their exceeding SIM
pllcity.
The secret OF the success OF grand
mothers remedies was their freshness
and simplicity. Every autumn found
the little Log Cabin abundantly sup
piled with fresh leaves, roots, herbs
aud balsams, which were carefully
dried aud prepared and laid away for
use. Dreading to call a doctor because
of the expensiveness of his far-made
trips, they Immediately gave attention
to the disease and routed it before 1t
had gained a foothold.
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in
dgo and high tucked gown, and per-
chance bes~pectacled in rough silver,
her weary feet encased in ''hum made"
| slips, is the dear sweet nurse who rises
to the view Of many a man and woman
to-day as the early years of life pass in
retrospect.
The secrets OF grandmother's medi-
clnes were rapidly being forgotten and
the world was not growing in the grace
Of good health. To restore the lost art
Of log cabin healing has been for years
the desire of Il well known philanthropy
ist in whose ancestral line were eight
good physicians' OF the old style,
men who never saw a medical college
save In the woods, nor a medical dip
Iona" except that inscribed on the
faces of healthy and long lived patients.
Much time and money was expended in
securing the old formula. which to-day
are put forth as LOG Cabin remedies, y
-sarsaparilla, hops and buchu, cough
and consumption, and several others,
by Warner, whose name is famous
and a standard for medical ex
c~el,ence all over the globe. These old.
est. newest and best preparations have
! been recognized as Of such superexcel.
lence that to-day they car be found
with all leading dealers.
When Col. Ethan Allen was making
history along our northern frontier dur
ing the revolution, Col Seth Warner,
the fighting Sheridan of that army, who
was a skiliful natural doctor, used
many such remedies, notably like the
Log CABIN extract, sarsaparilla and
cough and consumption remedy, among
the soldiers with famous success.
They are a noble Inheritance which
ae of to-day may enjoy to the full, as
did our i~orefathers, and using, reap, as
did they, the harvest of a life full OF
usefulness.

Cider In Various Forms.

"Sweet cider? Yes sir. Here you
re-"
A tourist was spending a day in a
primitive New Jersey hamlet, and H.
quired at the village inu for a glass of
that famous Jersey beverage.
THAT'S good. just made, wasn't
it?n
"Lemme see. John, when was this
cider made?"
John replied from the lower end of
the room that it was made q little over
two years ago.
"Guess your right, JOHN" returned
the innkeeper. You ought to know, as
you put it up yourself"
''IIow did you manage to keep it
sweet SO long?"
EASY enough, 1 put into a barrel of
sweet cider a quart of milk, about a
half a pint of mustard seed-the black
scotland six eggs. Mix them all up
together and pour them in the barrel.
Cider will keep sweet that way for a
half a dozen years. l think 1t gets bet
ter and sweeter the longer you keep it.
| have another kind of cider you may
want to taste.
The tourist did want to taste it, and
the innkeeper fished out from the
gloomy and cobwebby depth of a sub
counter closet, a quart bottle which
bore such marks of age Is would have
made the mouth of an %epicurean wine
bibber water with anticipated delight.
The cork came out with a mighty pop,
aud a fine spray filled the air with mist
and the aromatic fragrance Of cham
payne.
Try a glass of that" said the inn.
keeper, as he filled two glasses with the
sparkling fluid. The tourist needed no
urging.
"Why, that dosn't taste like cider,
neither is 1t champagne, exactly. What
do you call itp"
"Cider,"
How did you make itp"
Il bottled it three days ago. 1t was
fresh, sweet, strained cider then. l
put in each bottle a couple of raisins
and a small lump of rock candy, and If
you can find any champagne that will
beat that 1 will buy a thousand cases
of it,"
II should think it could be sold in
some country places for champagne?''

The Revue Scientgfqne gives an &C.

SCIENCE IN THE HOUSEHOLD. -
There is heat enough wasted around an
ordinary kitchen range-to say nothing
of the f~urnace-to furnish all the pow
or needed to run a sewing machine,
pump water for an elevator. and light
the dwelling by electricity. The same
waste of heat Of the cooking apparatus
might be made to cool the house in
summer and to dispense with the Ice
bill. When nitrate of ammonia, for
example, is dissolved in water it alb
serbs an enormous amount of heat and
the principle is readily applied in the
construction of re%frigerating chambers.
Properly elaborated and located these
could be so arranged as to keep meats,
etc, better than the ordinary Ice box,
to cool water for drinking more whole
somely than the average ice supply, and
to send volames of cold air down
through shafts to registers in the cell
ings OF rooms so that the heat OF SUM-
mer might be tempered as certainly as
the cold of winter. The same supply
of the ammonia salt may be used re-
peatedly by evaporating the water, for
which purpose the waste heat above
spoken Of could be utilized. The pos
sibilities of applied science N the
household have not been even nibbled
at.
