FROM the Herald of Faith, st. Louis. Mis-
souri,, August 10, 1887.
Referring to Shallenberger's Antidota
for Malaria, the business manager Of the
Herald Of Fdih would say, that he gave this
medicine personal trial, and was speedily
cured of an unpleasant Intermittent Fever.
He then recommended it to Il. J. Tefen-
braun, 1915 Papin street, and to police officer
Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both OF
whom were cured by it of chills and fever
of several years standing. Recently his
wife, after a fever of several days dura'
ton, took single dose and was perfectly
cured. In view of these remarkable cures
and remembering how much moneyis spent
for quinine, so little to be depended upon
and often so injurious, we can only wisf
that Shallenberger's Antidote would co1'
into general use.

the building of hotels upon the lines of

and picturesque lines Of structure commend

The American hotel has taken root in Eng

is as much dwarfed in comparison with her
new mammoth structures as is the case with
American hotels. Gu Trafalgar square, in
London, for many years stood the old resi-
dence OF the Duke Of Northumberland, with
q stone British lion over It's center. 1t was
venerated by Enslishnlen, but the march Of

reverence, and today in plnce Of the ducal

Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot, black breath Of the burnin'

Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And they oil had trust In bis cussedness,
And knowed he would keep bis word
And, sure's you're born, they oil got off
Afore the smokestacks fell.
And Bludso's ghost went up alone

A DYNAMITE THROWER.


Curious Military Engine Invented by Wal
ter f. Hicks.
Scarcely less novel than the contrivances
Imagined by Mr.. Frank Stockton in his story.
"The War Syndicate" arc some Of tho mill
tary inventions that are being seriously put
forth by various ingenious gentlemen Per-
haps one of the most notable OF these is WAL
ter T. Hicks machine for throwing dynamite
shells, which is here figured Mr.. Hicks in
veltion possesses ono feature which is 50 old
not having been employed upon large scale
since the days Of tho catapult--as to be quite
novel; the projecting Of the missile without
the use Of any explosive.
Every school boy remembers how he used
to stick apples or potatoes upon the end OF
long, light rod, whir the combination about
his head once or twice, stop the motion sud
denly, and III that way throw the apple
farther and swiftcr than he could by any
other method. We'll, Mr., Hicks machine
might readily have been suggested by this
hoyish eHpndient. In brief the machine may
be described about as follows
Thsre is wheel hung vertically upon L
horizontal axis. Upon the periphery Of the
wheel are receptacles for tho shells The
shells being placed within these rcceptncles
tho wheel is rotated with nn increasing We
locity When Il sufficiently high rate of
speed has Gcea attained. and when tho shell
is at the proper point il the circle, the shell is
liberated anil lilies of at II tangent precisely
as the apple or potato flies of the end Of the
stick. But the carrying power of slr Hicks
machine is OF course vastly greater than that
Of the school boys stick, in fact ono would
Imagine the limit Of distance to be fixed only
by the speed with which tho wheel can bo
practically rotated, and tho weight Of the
Charge would seem to he limited only by the
size Of tile machine The mud 0yin5 from
the swiftly turning wheels Of u wagon Is
another excellent illustration Of the principle
Of this machine

Simple and Orderly Government of the
Curious Republic.
The recent death Of NJ Herbenstein, presi-
dent of the Swiss republic, and the orderly
accession OF NJ Hammer, late vice president,
who will be president till tho close of 1889,
again call attention to the fact that there is
In the center of Europe an old, peaceful and
fairly prosperous little republic. Its system
Is curiously like that Of the United States.
and yet unlike 1t in important particulars.
Each of the twenty-five cantons has complete
self government, and until recently there
were twenty-five distinct codes OF civil pro
cedure; but necessity has, as In the United
States, produced sort Of assimilation, and
the law courts arc now much the same In all
tho cantona
In place Of senate and house, Switzerland
has council Of states and national council; !;
tothe former each canton sends two councillors,
to the latter one for each 10000 people. These

played by Mr.. John Hays Jim Bludso.
