PORTLAND AND VICINITY.
Great Excitement at Congress Hall
over Or. Smiths Wonderful
Magnetic Healing OF the

The most interesting, instructive and entertain
Ing exhibition that ever took place in Portland is
the public healing of the sick by DIR. Smith at
Congress Hall every morning from 10 to IL
O'Clock. Saturday morning an old lady who had
lost the use of her right hand by having needle
accidentally driven into II, went upon the stage
and in less than five minutes time she could open
and close her hand with ease. An old lady who
was so deaf that she could not hear the loudest
tones was made TO hear common conversation. A
man who suffered from paralysis OF the left side
received magnetic treatment and after the treat
ment he stated to the audience that nothing ever
did him so much good as the treatment he had
just received from DIR. Smith. George Hill who
resides on Cousins Island had been afflicted for
long time with most distressing form Of head
ache. The pain commenced in the back part OF
the head and extended to the top Of the head,
forehead and eyes. He complained of a most dis
tressing pain In the eyeballs. He could not move
the eyes without experiencing the most agonzing
pain. His countenance wore a pinched express
sion which was indicative of extreme suffering.
The liver, stomach and bowels became inactive.
He had consulted several physicians without re-
ceiying any benefit. He finally decided TO call on
DIR. Smith at the United States Hotel He did so
and was cured by two magnetic treatments. Dr.
Smith viii continue to heal the sick free Of charge

at the United States Hotel and may be consulted
from a. m. Til p. M daily except Sundays. DIR,

A USEFUL COMPOUND.

WATERPROOF Composition for the Floors
and Walls Of Buildings.
Apatent has been granted for water
proof compound adapted to be applied to
the floors and walls of buildings, to
prevent the access of water and damp
ness, and which will alsowithst and
extreme and varying temperatures of
air. and which will be practically in
destructible.
The composition consists of the fol-
lowing ingredients. combined in sub
stantially the proportions stated, viz. ::
New Zealand cement, 100 pounds;
cream of tartar, ounces; pulverized
ivory, l ounce: quicksilver, l ounce;
isinglass. 4 ounces; marble dust, 5
pounds; sand, 200 pounds; rain water.
pail.
In compromising the ingredients a
small quantity Of cement. for instance.
one pound. is mixed with the cream of
tartar, quicksilver and isinglass, and
water enough to make a very thin
paste, and the composition is let stand
for about twenty-four hours. If the
weather is cold, the composition should
stand in warm place. The remainder
of the cement. the pulverized ivory,
marble dust and sand are mixed dry,
and the standing compound is there
upon added, together with enough
rain water. about half pail. to pro-
duce plastic mass capable of being
readily laid with trowel or similar
implement
Instead of New Zealand cement,
Portland or other cement of similar
nature may be employed. If Portland
cement is used. the proportions of the
remaining ingredients should be in
creased about one-haf. After the
compound is laid upon a suitable
foundation, such as wood earth, brick
or metal. it becomes very hard, equal

ABOUT FODDER CORN.
When 1t Should he Cut and How !
should He Cured.

When 1t should BE Cut and How It
should He Cured.
If fodder corn is cut as fiber in the
green state, six tons weight will
shrink to two in the dry. Solids only
make flesh and fat. Liquids in abun-
dance help to fill the milk can. First.
When should it be cut? Before growth
ends, in the early stages OF maturity,
before its spirit evaporates in the sun
and wind. The best place to cure it is
in the open field. in large, upright
shocks (twenty per acre). with their
tops small, tied at the peak to keep
dry and sweet, allowing the water in
it to dry out to save human labor.
Second. How cared for? When dry
enough to handle it should be drawn
together (on low-wheeled wagons, be-
cause easier), and stacked steep. be-
cause water runs down hill, will follow
the stem it strikes TO the end, then
drop off. The coarser and longer the
stem the better it keeps its stack dry,
so it is more self-supporting in the
stack thus than in the shocks. Sweat
ing will not damage it, if sunshine and
rain is thus kept away. Heat and
moisture in ample supply at the same
time will make manure of it Third.
If profit is wanted as result, in feed
ing this fodder, the more we let the
forces of nature do the necessary
drudgery the more cost will shrink. so
swelling the profit. Every sound ami
NAL that has a good will of its own
that it can easily use, will take the
lean fiber after it has had fats to sat-
isfy the craving OF its system, and not
until then, if possible; because ''they
are built that way" The same is true
of bipeds, too.-Farmers' RevieU.

the rocks and hunted for shells. Re-
turning. sudden squall came up, and
if little Miss Prim had not been well
versed in the art Of sailing all would
have gone to the bottom After that
event the dress-maker was doubly dear
to all, and Mrs Laurence would not
hear of her leaving her. So she
stayed and was treated as one of the
family.
September, with her gorgeous sun
sets. her ripened fruits and soft moon
light nights, came. 1t was Miss Chat
tvs birthday. Dressed in white, with
pale pink blossoms in her silver hair
and on her bosom, the little dress
maker looked as pretty and smiling as
a girl. She had received rich gifts
from the Laurences and many other
friends. for every one loved the gentle
woman. Sitting in the twilight alone
in the great garden at Pleasant Park.
for the family had callers, and the lit
tie woman, thinking over the past
was glad to be in the solitude of the
shadowy park. with nothing to disturb
her reveries but the signing of wind
or the twitter of a sleepy bird. sudden
ly step approached. then a man APP
peared. and standing before her, re-
peated her name. saying very softly:
Charity. little darling Chatty! Do
you know me?"
For a moment the startled woman
thought a visitor from the other world
confronted her, but when she felt the
clasp of the warm hand. and heard
the almost forgotten tones, she knew
her long lost lover was before her,
and she nearly tainted with JOY. He
told her of his voyage to Africa, of his
ship being taken by pirates, how he
was sold to a chief of tribe in the in
terror of Africa, of the long years of
bondage, of his saving the life of the
principal wife of his master. and when
the dusky warrior died, Ackla, the
grateful widow, gave her slave his
freedom. also bag of diamonds. and
after twenty years he had returned to
the love of his youth. He soon found
out where his gentle betrothed was.
and the once humble little sewing-girl
became Mrs. William Morris, the wife
of one of the richest men in Paramount,
and the future will be bright for little
Miss Prim.-Boston Budget.
