A Chamber of Torture,

Js the apartment to which the un- happy sufferer from inhammatory rheumatism is confined, If, ere the crisis of pain is reached, that fine preventive, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of a ,hsumatic tendency, much unnec- essary suffering is avoided. Nervines anodynes and sedatives while having nons but a specific effect are yet very desireahls at times. Yet car they produce no lasting effect upor Fheumatism because they have nc power to eliminate from the bloot the rheumatic virus. HostetterI Stomach Bitters does this, anc checks at the outset disease which if allowed to gain headway, it i pext to impossible to dislodge or t do more than to relieve. Rheumat ism, it should be remembered, is iisease with 2 fatal tendency iron its proasness to attack the heart
 A resort to the Bitters should, there fore, be prompt. Dyspepsia, kic aey complaint, malaria and nel
 yousness arc relieved by it.

Proof Positive.

It takes Eretty shrawd man to get ahead of 2 Mexican custom ofiic isl but the average Arizona cowboy comes about as near it when he turn himself loose as any other man. Some time ago Santa Cruz valley cattle man went into Sonora on bus jness and was, as is ths custom, re-
 auired to give bond at the Sasabe
 custom house for the return of his saddle horse. On the return trip and when within ten miles of Sasabe the horse died. Going into the GUS
 ton house he stated the facts, but it
 was no go and the officials demanded
 that he pay the amount of the bond.
 He then introduced witnesses who described the horse and testified that t bad died ten miles south. This would not do and the customs ofiic- jals insisted that he must pay. Now he hadn't been in the cattle business on the border all these years with out learRing trick or two. He quietly winked at himself and went of and hired q teamster to haul the dead horse up to the custom house door. The officials with an air of great dignity examined the corpse, found the brand and marks all right as described on the bond, and remar. ked "bueno." The thrifty COW man echoed back "bueno!' leaped into his saddle and rode off, leaving the now pretty we'll puffed up remains at the custom house door.--Nogales Herald.

The Propensity to Kill.

DR.. Hammond contends that murder
is natural instinct. "The propensity to
kill exists to greater or less extent in
the mind of every human being without
exception. In some it consists in the
desire to take the lifeof fish; in others
of birds; in others of deer and buffalo !;
and in still others Of larger and more
dangerous animals, such as tigers,
elephants and lions. In some, but few
as compared with the number of those
who delight in taking the lives OF the
lower animals, the impulse is shown
toward other men or women. II is,
however, very much matter of educa.
ton, the condition of life, or the attend
ant circumstances. The Prince of Wales
kills hundred pheasants before lunch
con; the King Of Dahomey kills half
dozen of his wives before breakfast. 1t
is to be supposed that each is actuated
by the love Of pleasure. If the acts in
question of either of these potcntates
caused him pain, it is quite certain that
neither the pheasants nor the wives
would be inundated. This desire to
destroy life is often exhibited during the
very earliest stages of infancy. In fact
it is Unborn, instructive, and no amount
of civilization or refinement is sufficient
to abolish it altogether. Some individ-
uals may succeed in keeping it down, but
even the mildest natured man that ever
lived posses it ready to domidate him
when a sufficiently exciting cause arises"
DIR. Hammond pictures state of
society in which human beings are in a
deprayed and degenerased state. This
killing propensity is certainly not nor.
NAL trait in human character. 1t is the
outgrowth of generations of education of
depravity by the slaughtering Of animals,
the execution of criminals, and the
wholesale butchery of human beings in
warfare. The disposition to kill, if 30
universally present as DR.. Hammond
thinks, must be the result of heredity,
and is as much a species of mental
deformity and disease as is insanity, or
any other mental defect. Moral agen-
cies alone will fail to eradicate this
homicidal taint. Here is a work for SAN
itary reform.

OIL OF Sassafras,

The manufacture of the oil of sassafras
is becoming an important industry in
some parts of the country, especially in
the Southern States where this tree is
common. Only the roots are used; they
are chopped up into small pieces by a
machine constructed for the purpose, the
oil being then distilled from the chips by
the aid of steam. About one gallon of
oil, weighing nine pounds, is obtained
from / 900 pounds of the chips. The
uses for which the oil OF sassafras can be
employed are numerous and varied. 1t
is favorite perfume for soaps and can
dies; it is used as solvent for different
gums, and as liniment. 1t is also very
largely employed in the manufacture OF
several popular proprietary medicines.
The Importance of this industry may be
expected to increase rather than dimin.
ish. as the sassafras and the persimmon
are the two trees which are spreading
Ioost rapidly over tile old and abandon
ed fields throughout the Southern States
outside of the pine belt proper; and at
present prices good wsges can be made
digging out the roots.-Gdrden ana forest.

New Kind of Detectives.

We have all watched monkeys with
more OF less delight. live have thought
of them at all, it has been as creatures
created to amuse US. We have never
dreamed of them as being of use in the
administration of public affairs. 1t took
a clever officer in London to accomplish
this.
The truant officers went into one of
the poorer districts of London to hunt
up the children who did not attend
school. They knew there must be more
children in that district than appeared
on the lists at school, but as they visited
from house to house the parents denied
that they had children to send to school.
After the entire district was canvassed
and the officers were discouraged, one
of them announced that he would fine the
children. The next day the officers went
back to the district, and with them an
organ grinder with very intelligent
monkey. The children came pouring
out Of the doorways. The truant officers
went among them, soon learned their
names and addresses, and when the
organ and monkey had canyassed the
district two hundred children had been
found who did not attend school. The
parents and guardians of these children
were visited, and, knowing chat heavy
fine was imposed for keeping children
at home, sent the children to school
There, each day, arc the little ones foune
by the monkey.

A House Made OF Paper.

There is a paper house in Atlanta. No
wood, brick, iron or other material is
used about the building. Altos Decatur
street a neat little store, painted sky blue,
has attracted considerable attention re.
Gently. The gaudy color is not the
cause Of the little building being the
object of so much attention, but the ma.
terial of which it is constructed. 1t is
made entirely of paper. The store mas
built by Fren Gilman named Smythe
(spelled of course in French way, who
is agent for the paper Of which it is con.
structed. The rafters, the weather board
ing, the roof and the flooring are all made
of thick, compressed paper boards, i'm
peryious to water and as durable as wood.
The house cannot catch on fire as easily
as wooden building, because the sur.
face of the paper is smooth and hard
The building is used as store by Neal
Kelly, who says he finds it warm in cool
weather and comfortable when the
weather is warm.-At1anta Ga.( Journal

Remarkable ExploiS Of Female Sur
ge0nS.

1T see by yesterdays papers," remark
ed a young man about town. "that Chi.
cago women's medical college mas weaned
a couple of dozen young ladies NJ. DIS. I
wouldn't allow one of those lance;jugglers
to carve any part of my anatomy" he
continued with shudder. "Not that they
are unskilled in the profession, but they
are apt to overlook small bits, as it were.
The worst blunder in this line that ever
came under my notice occurred during an
operation performed in Chicago hoapi-
tal by woman, and which TO my knowl-
edge never has been equaled in the
history of surgery. The patient was
girl under treatment for tumor in the
stomach. After several months of
fruitless medical treatment, the female
physicians in charge decided to resort to
the knife. Accordingly, the victim was
placed under the influence of fan@sthetics,
laid out on slab in che presence of nu.
merous doctors and nurses of the female
persuasion, and the carving began. The
maiden was opened in scientific style and
the tumor successfully removed, as were
also several large antispetic sponges
which had been placed in the abdominal
cavity to absorb the blood during the
operation. Then the incision was neatly
stitched with silver wire; the boss surgeon
had rolled dowa her sleeves and was re-
ceiving congratulations, when a young
doctress, who had taken the precaution to
count the sponges before and after using,
suddenly exclaimed: 'oh, Doctor, you
have left sponge inside CT the patient 7
AT first the doctor secuted the idea that
she could possibly make such a blunder,
but as one of the Hponges was missing,
and which careful search of the room
failed to discover, she thought perhaps it
might have got loat in the shuttle. The
stitches we're removed, and sure enough
there lay sponge as big as q halfgrown
mud turtle snugly reposing among the
Eatin arrangements of the young woman.
The sponge was rescued, and as the sur
geon was sowing the girl together again.
she calmly remarked: ''I'm glad my at
tention was called to tho matter, as that
sponge is worth sixty.fve cents."-M Mica

fession. and lust 80 it is with many

fession, and just 80 it is with many
teachers and preachers. The faculty Of
imparting knowledge to the young is a
gift, just like music aud painting and
oratory. A fair scholar with good fac
ulty of teaching is far better than the
most profound one who has it not. ]
know lady who can gather flock OF
children around her like hen brooding
her chickens and teach them more in an
hour than some other teachers would in
a week. If teacher does not love his
calling be will never succeed in it. If q
doctor does not love his profession he
will never attain to fame. All the great
surgeons are enthusiastic-such as Agnew
and Mott and Battey and Calhoun
And so it is with teachers. we don't
want machine. We don't want man
who seeks the place solely for the money
that is in it. Teachers and preachers
should have higher ambition than the
average bread winner. I went to school
to Mr.. Gray who afterwards studied
for the ministry and stood a splendid
examination and was just about to be
voted a license when old Dr.. Goulding,
the moderator, leaned forward, and said
in solemn voice, "Brother Gray, do You
feel that the Lord has called you to
preach the gospel to The people ?"-"Yes,
1 do," said Gray, 'if they will pay me for
it." That reply ruined his prospects, for
he stuck to it and was rejected. But, of
course, neither the preachers nor the.
teachers can work without pay.
We hope to make no mistake in select
ing superintendent from this large
number of competent gentlemen, but if
we do, there is still privilege left us-the
privilege of paying taxes to public
school and paying tuition to q private
one.

Tie Dict of Different People.

The vagaries of the appetite are far
beyond the explanatory science of physi.
ology. What ne call tolerance in medi.
cine is in itselfa mystery. We cannot
tell why this thing agrees with this in
dividual, and at the same time utterly
destroys his brother. The trite old say.
ing that cone mans meat is another
mans poison" must be accepted empiri-
cally. Still less can we account for the
variations of taste. Why one mans
gustatory nerves should respond agreea,
bly, to salt, while another's repel it with
violence, we cannot understand. Doubt
less education has most to do with it, and
yet the manner in which education oper
ates continues mystery. The preference
of the Chinese for food that seem to our
appetites absolutely disgusting is well
known. In Canton rats sell for fifty
cents a dozen, and dogs hind quarters
command higher price than lamb Or
mutton. Fancy eating BIRDS nests worth
thirty dollars pound! That is what q
mandarin revels in. The French beguil-
ed US into eating frogs legs, which were
once tabooed in this country, and we
have even come to esteem diseased goose
liver in the form Of pate deJois gras. The
writer has met Brazilians who rave over
boa constructor steaks and count monkeys
and parrots very good meal. In the
West Indies baked snake is common
dish, as the reptiles abound, and it isa
good way Of getting rid of them. But
when it comes to frying palm worms in
fat, one would think the stomach would
rebel. 1t is not SO, however, though, by
a strange inconsistency, stewed rabbit is
looked upon with disgust. On the Pacif.
ic coast the Digger Indians eat dried
locusts, and in the Argentine Republic
skunk flesh is a dainty. Our own favor
ite bivalve, the oyster, is very disgusting
to Turk, while the devil-fsh, eaten in
Corsica, is equally 80 to US. We cannot
understand, either, how the inhabitants
Of the West Indies and the Pacific coast
can eat lizards eggs with relish; still
less how the eggs Of the turtle and alliga-
tor can become faSorite article of diet.
The Brazilians eat ants, probably to get
rid of them, for they literally ;nfest the
country and are of an enormous size. 1t
is easy to pick up a handful ofants almost
anywhere, though the weary do not 60
about it in this way, as the pessiferous
insect bites in a most vicious manner.
A curry of ants eggs is great delicacy
in Siam, and the Cingalese eat the bees
whose honey they have stolen. The Chi

ostrich, eat the chrysalis of the silkworm,
after unwinding the cocoon. Spiders are

Paralyzed a Whole Family.

New YORK, April 23.-At Pond
Ridge, one of the small towns in West
chester County, Saturday night, Leverda
Adams was visited by his uncle, Noah
W. Brown, aged eighty years, and the
latter's scp, both Of Danbury, Conn.
The members of Mr.. Adams's family,
including his wife and six children and
the Messrs. Brown, were seated ut the
dinner table when the thunderstorm
broke over the togn. They were sud
denly startled by terrific clap of lhun.
der followed by bolt of lightning,
which struck and ran down the chimney.
The dining.room was badly wrecked, the
stove being knocked over and ell the
persons in the room rendered insensible,
Edward Adams, the eighteen.year old
son, was the first to recover from the
shock, and found that the house was on
fire. He at once set to work to rescue
the others. He dragged their insenaible
forms out one by one and carried out his
infant brother, who was sleeping in a
cradle. The infant, though stunned,
was apparently not injured. After he
had rescued all those in the diniDg.room
he succeeded in extinguishing the flames.
By this time some of the neighbors came
to his assistance, and the iusensible per-
sons were removed to the nearest houae.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Adams and all
her children, with the exception of her
ten-year-old daughter, had recovered
from the shock. Mr.. Browns son was
also out of danger. MIR. Adams was in
critical condition, being badly burned
from head to foot. His clothing was nearly
all torn from his body. Little Nellie
recovered consciousness and lived until Z
o'clock Sunday morning. She had made
preparations to observe Easter Sunday,
and for the event gathered a lot of choice
flowers. A few moments before little Mel
lie died she asked her mother what had
caused her injuries, and when. she was
told that it was Lightning, she said "Oh,
ma, how it did hurt me. I guess I won't
need the flowers" The child then died
in her mothers arms.
Mrs. Brown died during Sunday night.
Last night MIR. Adams was still in very
critical condition, and but very little
hope of his recovery is entertained.
The house, which was an old.fashioned
frame structure, is total wreck. The
lightning, in passing down the chimney,
struck the hearth and seemed to separate
iuto three electric balls, which played
sad havoc through the building. The
furniture was badly wrecked, the doors
and windows smashed and the beams and
raflers in the attic we're snapped or spin.
tered. The kitchen cooking utensils
were melted and twisted into different
shapes by the electric current.
During the same storm the barn OF
Mrs. D. L. Park, near Bedford Station,
was struck by lightning and set on fire.
Two COWS and horse perished. The
same night the lightning played curl.
GUS freak in the building known as the
Old Clubhouse, at Milton Point, in
which Stephen Gaunung resides with his
family. A bolt of Lightning ran down
the chimney, and after zig-zsggiDg
around the room, upsetting chairs and
knocking Mr.. Gaunung down, ran out
the door and struck dog, instantly kill
ing the animal.
