Esercise, Not Medicine.

Boorhaave, the famous physician,
declared that man was more likely
10 get well by climbing tree than by
drinking a decoction made Of ifs
leaves; that is, he thought exercise
bctter than medicine. II is on this
principle that the queen Of Sweden,
whose nervous condition has given
rise 10 much anxiety, is being treated.
She Is ordered TO make her bed and
sweep her room, besides taking large
amount Of walking exercise. This

| The appraisement came in too late for re-

and it is problematical whether thew will

The counsel for respondent is not dis

spectors revoked the license of Capt. BouIi-
neau, master of the vessel at the time of the

put the blame on the bridge tender, and the
| United States inspectors, in making up
their report, gave no reason for attaching
blame TO Capt Boulineau and revoking his

To-day will determine the future course

be forthcoming or not. AT any rate, the

and file with corn-cob handle.
There was no lock to the musket, but the
long-haired child of the swamps considered
that but trifie. True he figured on having
lock put TO his musket but 81 was a sum
beyond the bounds OF reason, according to
his view, and he left the city with his lock-
less gun.
At Bryan street gunsmith shop he was
asked how it was poSsib BILE for him to use the
musket without a lock, and he promptly
solved the mystery. The lock space of the
STOCK was filled with a composition of bees
wax and talIow, and the hunter said that
all he had TO do was to put percussion cap
on the tube, take aim, and with the ak helve
strike the cap, which would explode, and as
he was man of iron nerve the aim would
be deadly. II peradventure the muskes
