Robert CARROTS father left him a fortune
of twenty millions He was from childhood
reared in luxury; he received a splendid
education with an especial training into a
thorough knowledge of railroad management
and was expected to succeed his father as a
railroad king.
Within three years after the responsible
| ties which his fathers death threw upon him
were assumed, he is reported a broken down
man, with mind and health permanently
shattered.
George Law is another young man left
with millions of money who is reported
among the wrecks" His father. bred a

came a great contractor, then a railroad
king and left half dozen millions for his
son to dissipate. The young man is a sue

were born in the most humble walks OF life,
grew strong, mentally and physically. by
simple living and honest labor and de veloped
into financial; giants. Their sons were reared
in the lap OF luxury and developed into in

YELLOW FEVER.


Prevention Better Than Cure.
The following statement speaks for itself:
''This certifies that was, with my family,
resident of New Orleans during the terrible
Yellow Fever epidemic which visited that
city in 1878. We were strangers there, and
unacclimated. but having previously used
Ayers Ague Cure for malarial disorders, !
fully believed it would prove preventive Of
the scourge. 1 took the Agus Cure myself,
and had my little girls take it daily,
but could not persuade my husband to use
it. He fell sick of the fever and died, but
my children and l were not attacked Our
exemption from sickness at this time was
considered miraculous, but believe it was
Ayers Ague Cure. and feel sure that we owe
to this medicine the fact that we survived
the epidemic. Mrs. L. E. Osborn, Prescott,

ALener As MhIte as SNOW.

Johnson. the leper, lies in room of
from the contagious ward, says the Chi
cago Kerdtd reporter who visited the
hospital. He is hideous. His hands
and hairless face are incrusted with
scale-like blotches of reddish-brown.
The face shows most distinctly the
ravages of the horrible disease. The
lower lids of the eyes are drawn down
and turned inside out. The lips are blue,
and the nose is swollen to twice its ma
tural size. His back aud abdomen are
covered with huge tubercles. These
scales slightly change color from time to
time. There is no known remedy for
leprosy. 1t has for all times defed the
efforts of physicians. But one important
discovery has been made of late years,
and that is that the disease is contagious,
and is not hereditary, as is generally
supposed. The germ Of the disease is
known to exist, and animals have been
inoculated, afterwards showing un
mistakable signs Of the malady. Still
no cure has been discovered. or even a
remedy to alleviate the leper's suffering.
Leprosy is a slow disease, and johnson
NAV live for even fifteen years. There
are two forms of the disease-viz. f: back
leprosy and white leprosy. In the for
mer the scales are dark and in the latter
perfectly white. Johnson is suffering
from the former The leprosy of the
ancient Jews consisted of shiny smooth
blotches on which the hair turned white
and silky, and the skin and the muscular
flesh lost their se1sibility. 1t was in
durable. It was not until about the
year 500 A. d. that the black leprosy
appeared. In time the toes and fingers
drop off, and when the eating process
reaches the vitals death ensues.

A Kentucky Child Wonder.

Fifteen years ago was born a son to
Mr.. Andrew Woods, q wealthy stock man
and farmer near Keene, Ky. After few
months the child seemed we'll developed,
but suddenly the body began to dwindle
while the head grew. The child's bones
were OF chalky formation. and at live
years of age dot" was regarded as a
marvel. lie grew in knowledge. had q
great curiosity, and was carried on a
pillow to every attractive meeting or
speaking within the adj joining counties
At zen he be anne aesthetic in taste and
dressed with great care every day.
Physicians despaired of his life, as the
limbs were but few inches long. The
chest could be seen in full play, the heart
beating and heaving ike a maiden's.
His living TO fifteen was regarded by the
people as miraculous, for he ate, said a
gentleman, hardly enough to keep a
chicken alive.
For years museums have resorted to
all sorts Of extravagant offers to the
parents. but they would never consent
10 having him exhibited The child's
death few days ago was painless, and
the remains were deposited in a baby
coffin and followed to the burial by a
great concourse Of neighbors. Precau.
tons have been taken against ghouls,
who might seek to profit by robbing the
grave. Little "Dot' complained, aad

The Ginger Plant Of Commerce.

The rhizome, or root, of Zingiber Off
cinale, is known as ginger 1t is reed
like plant, with annual leafy stems three
to four feet high, and flowers in cone
shaped spikes borne on other stems
thrown up from the rhizome 1t is ma
tive of Asia in the warmer countries OF
which it is universally cultivated, but Is
not known in the wild state. 1t ha,
been introduced into most tropical coun-
tries, including the West Indies.
Ginger occurs in two forms-dried
with the epidermis as coated ginger, aud
as scraped ginger when the epidermls is
removed. The uncoated ginger is
prepared by scraping and washing the
rhizome and then drying it in the sun.
Thus prepared, it has a pale buff hue
and breaks easily, exhibiting a short and
farinaceous feature with numerous bris-
tle-like tibres. When cut with a knife
the younger and terminal portion of the
rhizome appears pale yellow, soft. and
amylaceous, while the older part is finty,
hard and resinous.
Coated ginger or that which has been
dried without the removal OF the epider-
mis- is covered with wrinkled, striated
brown integument, which imparts to it
somewhat coarse and crude appearance,
which is usually remarkably less devel-
oped on the fat parts of the rhizOme
internally it is usually of less bright
and delicate hue than ginger from which
the cortical part has been removed.
Much OF it, indeea, is dark, horny, and
esinous.-PrGirie Frner.
