Some months ago a woman living
ON the banks of the Brazos, in Texas,
missed her three months old baby

infant, but no trace of it could be
discovered, and The whole affair was
wrapped IN profound mystery until
a few days ago. A party of gectle.
men were riding through a some

ond morning he was still ugly, but
late in the afternoon hunger and
pain mastered him. We brought UP
a cage, got three or four ropes
around him, and finally made him a
prisoner. His foot and leg were ter
ribly swollen, and he made but little
resistance.
We now mad opportunity to look
him over. He was certainly a man
Wolf-that is, a native child had been
carried off when young and brought
up with the wild beasts for twenty
years or more. This creature had a
human face and form, but the body
was covered with coarse hair, the
teeth were long. the hands out of
shape, and he had learned to go as
four footed animal. He was indeed
a horrible looking sight, but the
worst feature about him was his eyes.
No true wild beast ever saw through
q more ugly pair. There was vii
famous squint to them and the balls
seemed to be afame. We were con
graduating ourselves on his easy
capture when the head man replied:
"Wait a bit. Wait until his
strength returns. You will never get
him away from here =
He drew the cage to the village and
gave the beast food and water. He
readily accepted both, and his con
duct was as hum BILE as we could de-
sire. He was biding his time, however.
On the third day he infinitely ex-
amined The construction of the cage
and tested every bar. He did this
when he thought he was nobserved.
On the fifth day he began to snarl and
growl and show his temper, and on
the sixth we started off with him, the
cage being dragged by twelve natives.
Everything went well up to noon,
when we stopped for rest and a bite
to eat. AS all we're sitting down the
man wolf suddenly sprang out of a
corner, where he had been sulking,
seized bar in either hand, and with
a tremendous effort wrenched them
out. One he retained for a weapon
as he leaped to the earth. 1t was so
sudden that no one was prepared.
He did not seek escape, but revenge,
and before we could pick up our guns
and open fire he had killed three of
the natives and severely wounded
two Others. He was still laying
about screaming with rage when one
of the white men gave him a charge
OF buckshot and ended hiscaree He
had struck only single blows, and
vet each one had been hard anO,1oh
to cripple or kill. But for our guns
he would have killed every man in the
party.-New York Sun.

FULLY---ANSWERED
..subscriber,s,, ouery causes Comment.

Subscribers Query Causes Comment.
AS our readers will remember, a
letter was published in our columns
a few days ago, signed Subscriber
which dwelt at some length upon a
subject OF general interest, and which
contained several inquiries which.will
be found answered in the following:
TO the Editor:-Several days agoI
noticed a communication in your
paper from Subscriber" in which
considerable comment was INDUCED
in concerning the pamphlets which
are widely distributed by Messrs. 81.
81. Warner & Co., of Rochester, N.
Y. These pamphlets, as is well
known, are published in order that
the public may become conversant
with the symptoms and growth Of
disease peculiar to the kidneys, and
which is, it must be admitted,
the productive cause, in a
majority of instances, of other
organic disorders. The pub
fishers of these pamphlets are also
the discoyerers and manufac turers Of
the noted Warmers Safe Cure, which
is known to be the only means for the
prevention and cure of kidney dis
ease, as can be testified to in every
community In the pamphlets re-
ferred to there appear number of
testimonials from parties who speak
in the highest terms of how they
have in many instances been restored
to health by Warmers Safe Cure, aft
er having been given up by doctors to
die, and attached to those statements
are the fac simile signatures of the
parties themselves.
[ am personally aware that all the
testimonials published by this firm
are genuine and are the voluntary
statements of persons who are anx-
ious to manifest their gratitude
for the unexpected return of
health and vigor which Warmers
Safe Cure has brought them. To
make assurance doubly sure, it can
be added that Messrs II. II. Warner
& Co., have for years, published a
standing offer of 5000 to any one
who will prove to an impartial ref
cree that any testimonial published
by them is not, SO far as they know.
bona fde and absolutely true.
What more does Subscriber" desire
to convince him, in addition to his
own statement, that his neighbors
all tell him that Warmers Safe Cure
has done more good for them than
they have received from the doctors.
In view, Mr.. Editor, Of the many
persons who are sacrificed daily to
the bigotry and ignorance of physi-
clans who persist in treating patients
for symptoms, called consumption,
apoplexy, brain troubles, and nerv-
Gus disorders, when the real cause is
disease of the kidneys-which should
be detected and quickly eradicated
by the use of Warmers Safe Cure-I
maintain that the value of those
pamphlets, which place in the hands
OF the public the means of knowing
the truth, cannot be overestimated.
FAIR-PLAY.

Hints as to Shaving
Medical Classics.

Medical Classics.
Never fail to we'll wash your beard
with soap and water, and to rub ii
dry, Immediately before you apply
the@lather, which the more you use,
and the thicker it is, the easier you
will shave.
Never use warm water which makes
the face (of shavers) tender
In cold weather place your razor
.(closed of course) in your pocket,
or under your arm, to warm it.
The moment you leave your bed
(or bath is the best time to shave.
Always wipe your razor clean, and
always put your shaving brush
away with the lather on it.
The razor, as we have shown,
being onlya fine saw should be
moved in a sloping or saving direc-
tion, and held nearly fat to your
face, care being taken to draw the
skin as tight so as to present an
even surface, and throw out the
beard.
The practice OF pressing on the
edge OF the razor in stopping it soon
rounds it; the pressure should never
be raised from the strop. If you
shave from point to heel; but if YOU
begin With the point in shaving, then
strop it from heel to point.
Il you only once put away your
razor without stropping. it, or other
wise perfectly cleaning the edge, You
must no longer expect to shave well
and easy, the soap and damp so
soon rust the fine teeth and edge.
A piece of soft plane leather should
alwaps be kept with razors, to wipe
them with.

Wedding Fees,

Said a welEknown clergyman the
other day: II think the clergy have
too much to say about the smallness
of some of their wedding fees. There
is no earthly reason. in the first
place, why a clergyman should re-
ceive any fee for his services on such
an occasion. If fees are to be given
at all, they would be much more APP
propriate when a clergyman is asked
to officiate at a funeral, which in
some cases may consume several
hours of his time. But, granting
that a wedding fee is allowable, nay
experience is that such fees are as {,
rule too large rather than too small.
/ have officiated at the weddings of a
great many mechanics and work
lngmen, and in large majority OF
instances the grooms have given me
$40. Some of them have given $15
and even $40
Now, the lowest of these sums is
out OF all proportion to the average
1HCOule vi o. Iuecudu1C. LII is nluc0
more than they can afford for a SER
vice which a. Christian minister
should be glad to render for nothing.
And in my own practice / have al
ways returned the fee in such cases,
unless the groom was SO foolishly
proud as to refuse it. But in doing
SO [ admit that am running counter
to the almost universal custom OF
the clergy. My own personal
opinion is that is an age like this,
when the world is so ready to find
fault with the clergy, it would be
wise to abolish wedding fees entirely.
AT the same time | do not assume to
decide the matter for any one but
myself. New York Tribune.

Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO. June 24-There was little do
ing in wheat Outside orders were scarce
and local operators were content with
watchingtthe market. Fluctuations were
slight and the market ruled steady. There
was nothing il outside news to especially
affect prices Early the market eased of
&c for July and then advanced &c, clos
ing about the same as Saturday; August
closed &c higher and December 4 C higher,
with July and December selling at times
close together and the difference at the
close was only &c. The weather was an
5mproyement over that of the past six
weeks and was warmer and haZy. The
weather bulletin showed cloudy weather
and slight rains in the north
west and southwest, and clear
sn the west Mail advices
from the northwest are not altogether
favorable and some letters were shown to-
day which indicate a rather poor showing
sn the southern portion of Dakota and
Minnesota. Liverpool advices indicate a
firmer tone to the market and weather
fine, with Russian wheat quoted through
private sources Cd higher.
A large business was transacted in corn
which was fairly distributed throughout
the year and distant futures. The bulk OF
the trading, however, was in covering OF
shorts in July and in changing from July
TO September, the former being bought
and the latter sold. The difference also
narrowed slightly, being %6@24c. The fine
weather, fair arrivals and the quietness in
domestic markets made operations rather
bearish at the opening bu, the decrease
in the visible supply rather changed the
sentiment, and as offerings were small a
strong feeling developed and after a de-
cline of 1sc at the opening a rally Of 4@
&c followed. Numerous small recessions
rom outside prices followed the rallies,
but last sales were at tritle above Satur-
days.
Oats were quiet and easy and trading
was chiefly local.
\ very light business was transacted in
hog products. Receipts of hogs were con-
siderably larger than generally anticipat-
ed, and this had weakening influence on
the course of the market. However, the
offerings were light and buyers were back
