Chills aud Fever.

The sovereign remedy in the treat
ment of intermittent fever is quinine,
and the most common forms in which il
is employed are the sulphate and bisul-
phate, and the Boston Journal of Health,
says that, owing to its greater solubility,
the latter is preferable. Several meth
DDS are employed in giving quinine.
Some advocate the use OF single large
dose to ward off an expected attack;
others prefer to give the remedy in small
doses, repeated at intervals of two or
three hours. The weight of evidence is
in favor of the latter method; still, in
some cases, the former will be more eff
fective. Ii the disease has existed but
for short time, five grains of quinine
should be taken during the sweating
stage, or as near as possible. to the par
oxysm which has passed, and repeated
every four hours until ringing noises
in the ears are experienced. Even if by
this method the second occurrence of y
paroxysm is prevented, the use Of the
drug should for several weeks be per-
sisted in, and be given three or four
times daily in decreasing doses.

The HOLSTERS for the Paciac.

Joseph d. Redding. United States
Deputy Fish Commissioner, who has
received the shipment OF Holsters for
propagation on this coast, stated that
the Holsters temporarily placed in the
fish cars at Monterey had apparently
recovered from the fatigue of their long
Journey overland from Woods Holl,
Mass. they had fed well on fish given
them and become strong and were not
quarrelsome in confinement; that one
half OF the number, or 160, had been
placed in the water of Monterey Bay,
near Point Pinas, and that the Holsters,
on being liberated, showed great vigor
in swimming away TO places Of conceal
ment in their new home. The Holsters
in coming across the continent were at
tended to by an experienced Norwegian
fisherman, who, ON examining the water,
rock, beach, and temperature of the
Bay, declared all the conditions forsuc-
cess were equal to the most favorable
places on the Atlantic coast and Norway
that he had seen. Mr.. Reddipg stated
that he had notices printed in Chinese
and Spanish warning all persons from
taking the Holsters, as they would in
snch case be prosecuted for violations
of law regarding immature fish. Also
that the property at Chinatown belong
ed to the Pacific improvement Comp

Banking Methods In St. Louis.

They are doing business on the same
old plan in st. Louis to-day that was in
vogue there when the French squatted
down on the levee. A Chicago lady, who
was there recently, relates the following:
~ went into one of the banks and
told the gentleman at the window that
wanted to buy a draft. He asked me if
J. had any one to identify me. Thinking
he had misunderstood me I laid down my
money and said: Il presume that is
sufficient identification. He said it
wasn't. then repeated that I wished
to buy draft, not get one cashed He
said he understood me quite, and begged
leave to assure me that must BIZ iden-
titled before could get what l wanted.
l asked him if that WASH t something I'M
usual. He said it was one of the early
customs of banking in st. Louis, and
they had to keep it up. ST. Louis people
were accustomed to it, and it wouldn't
do to try and put up any new tricks ON
them.
This reminded my informant of some
thing that had also occurred in ST. Louis.
An old and very wealthy man of the
town, whose constant companion was a
white and black dog, had been in the
habit of coming to the Sub. Treasury at
certain periods for the purpose of get
ting coupons of his bonds cashed. One
day he presented himself for that pur-
pose and the cashier refused to give him
the money. The old man demanded to
know why.
81 don't know you," said the cashier.
"But l have been here before and
never was denied, the man answered.
The cashier looked at him moment
and then said: "Where is your black
and white dog that always comes with
you, if you are the same man2'
The old mans eyes filled with tears as
he told the cashier that dog was dead.
"Well, replied the cashier, 81 am sor-
ry to hear that, but you'll have to bring
something here to identify you now. I
don't know you without the dog

Don't XIII the old Hens.

When hens are shedding feathers they often
stop laying and grow fat. Most people consider
fat a sign of health. The fattening of moult-
ing hens, however, as with some people, pro-
duces debility rather than health. Many Of
the worst cases of roup ore contracted, while
the hens are moulting.
Inc fo'd OF moulting hens, If largely vege-
tablets fat-forming, and not required for grow,
ing feathers. Therefore corn-fed hens get very
fat. They need more nitrogen and phosphate
elements in their food when moulting, which il
not supplied they stop laying, because tho
growing feathers have used all, and left no nj
trogenous matter to form eggs. At this season.
killing old hens and relying on young pullets Is
great mistake, where people have few hens
and late pullets. Because if properly fed the
hens will have their new plumage and lay well
all winter; while the pullets unless specially
treated may not commence laying until spring,
when high prices for eggs have fallen one-half.
Again an old hens egg will hatch moro Wig
orous chickens than pullet's egg.
John r. Jones, Sufiield, Conn. breeder Of
prize winning notified Javas, says:
Il find Sheridan's Condition Powder fed once
daily in the food, very valuable for inoultinR
hens. have used it two years for exhibition
birds. 1t assists in growing new feathers,
makes the combs bright red, and gives rich
gloss to the plumage. 1t will also make hens
lay and the eggs hatch well. find when the
other egg-foods are used in quantities to force
egg, production the eggs do not hatch"
nusing Sheridan's Powder. II fed to Young
puiiets now as directed, they will begin to lay
before six months old. Commence at once
through moulting, and gets the pullets in lay
ing trim before the season Of high prices Eggs
will sell very high this fall and winter, There

A BANK BURGLARS BOLD TRICK.
In the Guise of Pinkerton Detect
i've He Kidnaps Bank Cashier,

Iowa Cry, IA.-One of the most dar
ing exploits of gang of burglars which
narrowly escaped success has just come
to light here. For few days previous
to the bold attempt to rob the Bank OF
Wellman, town near this city, four
suspicious persons were seen about the
streets, but it was not dreamed that they
had their eyes on the bank, which has
but recently been started. The cashier
is young man twenty three years OF age,
who carries the keys to the bank, and
with the President of the institution is
the only person who knows the combina-
ton of the valuts. A few nights ago
while Mr.. Moore, tho cashier, was
spending the evening with his prospect
i've bride, q carriage drove up the house
and a stranger knocked at the door. He
demanded with an air of authority to see
young Moore, and taking him to the
buggy grasped him by the shoulder and
said: "You are my prisoner.
The cashier was much astonished, but
he was informed that he was forger
and that the stranger was Pinkerton
detective, and the best thing that could
be done was for the cashier to go along
with him. Said the alleged detective
IF you want to go to the bank to get
any money or papers that you need /
will go with you, but I am in great
hurry Moore said he would not go to
the bank, but that he hal friend that
he would like to see to borrow some
money from if he had to be taken away.
A this point country doctor came up,
and, being friend Of Moore, asked to
see the papers on which the latter had
been arrested. The bogus detective
said II am Pinkerton man and
don't have to show my papers.
Then Moore was taken to the friend
he wanted to see, who proved to be the
President of the bank, Mr.. Nicholas,
who wanted to know why Moore was ar
rested and who finally said that ii
would be best for Moore to go with the
officer. The pretended detective started
out to take his prisoner to Iowa City.
The arrest aroused some half dozen peo-
pie in the small town, and the detective
seemed in hurry to get off. Finally he
Started and when little way from the
village he gave Moore something to
drink from bottle. In few minutes
he was taken violently i'll. He is still
sick from the influence of the drug that
was undoubtedly administered to him.
When Iowa City was reached the man
told Moore he was sorry, but he made a
mistake. He had found telegram at
the livery barn informing him that q
mistake had been made, and that he was
the wrong Moore. The men then
separated, Moore going home and the
pretended detective taking a train
North.
From Investigations made with
in the last few days it is pretty certain
that Moore was in the custody of burg
lar 1t is believed that had the bogus
detective succeeded in getting his man
off without arousing the President OF the
bank and SO many other citizens he
would have taken him to the bank and
forced him to tell the rest OF the gang
the combinations of the vaults which
then held over 1875, 900.
