The great French physician, DR.. BROWN
SEQUARD, processes to have discovered an
all-wool elixir Of life.
This eminent Frenehmal' g discovery is
a substance which is capable of making the
old young and the weak strong. It is
composed of the living cells Of young and
healthy animals, reduced TO pulp in e
mortar with distilled water and injected
into the system with a hypOdermic syringe.
Doctors sire generally sverse TO taking their
own medicines, bat the great French
specialist has administered this rem
edy Tor old age on himself and, if accounts
are correct is delighted with the result.
Though born nearly seventy years ago,
he feels IS vigorous as man Of fifty. Two
injections Of this elixir of life transformed
him. Before b used it he had little sppe-
lite; was unable to sleep more than an
hour at 8 time and was tired after working
a few minutes in his laboratory. He was
discouraged sud disheartened. Now he
can work for hours without being fatigued.
His appetite is good ard his sleep sweet
and refreshing He can prosecute his
studies better than he could thirty years
ago. He is again ambitious and hopeful.
All this has been given as actual fact
and has not yet been contradicted. Well,
in this remnant of the Nineteenth Century
we cannot sfford to doubt anything, no
matter how improbable it may seem.
But we trust that DR.. BROWN -SEQUARD
will not pus his elixir of life upon the
market 1t would not prove sn unmixed
blessing. There are too many people in
the world who have already lived too
long, and these would, of course, be the
first ones to purchase bottle OF Dr..
Brown SEQUARD's elixir. Just think Of
the number Of Oldest inhabitants, and OF
those who nursed GEORGE WASHINGTON,
there would be in a little while, if Dr..
BRowN-SEQUARD's elixir were sold at
every drug store and conner grocery!

This Is True.
Petersburg Jolrn0L


A few days ago two street labOrers at
Wheeling had an ordinary knOck-dOwn.
The next day the Cincinnati and Pitts
Pittsburg papers published a sensational
telegram from Wheeling to the effect that
there was great street riot in which five
hundred men were engaged and which the
entire police force was hardly able TO
quell.
Nearly every day there comes from the
Great Kanawhs Valley a startling and
sensational report of some awful deed done
by some outlawed desperate. Of course
nobody is expected to believe them.
enthusiastically the wires take out
from Parkersburg similar sensational and
unfounded reports. 1t is to be hoped that
nobody believes them either.
This is not legitimate newspaper work
and is as disreputsble SIS prizs fighting.

An African Slave-Raid.

From a Description by Cardinal Lavigerie.
The men who appear the strongest,
and whose escape is to be feared, have
their hands tied, and sometimes their
feet, in such fashion that walking be-
comes torture to them; and on their
necks are placed yokes which attach
several of them together. They march
all day; at night, VIXEN they stop
to rest, few handsful Of raw
"sorgho" are distributed among the
captives. This is all their food. Next
morning they must start again. But aft
er the first day or two the fatigue, the
weakened a great many. The women
and the aged are the first to halt. Then,
in order to strike terror into this miser-
able mass of human beings, their con-
ductors, armed with d wooden bar to
economic powder, approach those who
appear to be the most exhausted, and
deal them terrible blow on the
nape of the neck. The unfortunate
victims utter cry and fall to the ground
in the commissions of death. The terri
fed troop Immediately resumes its
march. Terror has imbued even the
weakest with new strength. Each time
some one breaks down the same horri-
bic scene is repeated. At night, on ar
irving at their hating place, after the
first days of such life, not less fright
full scene awaits them. The traffick-
ers in human flesh have acquired
by experience knowledge of
how much their victims can en-
dure. A glance shows them those who
will soon sink from WEAKNESS; tn en- to
economic the scanty food which they
distribute, they pass behind the wretch
ed beings and fell them with a single
blow. Their corpses remain where
they fall, when they are not suspended
on the branches of the neighboring
trees; and it is close to them that their
comrades are obliged to eat and to
sleep. But what sleep it may be easily

The Bulldogs Mistake.

The donkey is lazy, harmless look
ing bird, the synonym of stupidity, says
the Dallas (Tex.) News, and would new
er be suspected of possessing fighting
qualities by those imperfectlv acquaint-
ed with him. Yet when his Irish is
once aroused he is holy terror. Near
the entrance to the Geological Garden,
at Cincinnati, there is to be seen
the stuffed hide OF DON
key which killed lion which es-
capped from its cage, and sprang
upon him. This equestrian statue OF
the donkey is pointed out to all visitors
to the garden. The story now comes of
a fight between burro and bulldog
in Fresno, Cal. Burro is California as
well as Texas for donkey. The burro
was browsing on cookie burs by the
roadside, SO the story runs, when the
bulldog trotted along, stopped and with
growl seized the donkey by the shank
bone of the hind leg. The donkey i'm
mediately brought its hindquarterg
into action, and its legs and the dog
flew through the air in a most active
way, for the latter refused to let go.
The burro laid down on his back,
brought his hind legs up to his head,
and seized the dog with his teeth.
Then both hung on. The dog let 60
first. The burro arose and rubbed the
dog back and forth over a barb wire
fence until it was dead.

Her Own Artist.

From the Youths Companion.
Artists sometimes have amusing eX-
periences with some of their patrons
who have no knowledge of the art and
no love for it, and who buy pictures
simply because other people have them.
One of the best known Eastern artists
says that he was once visited in his stu
dio by a showily-dressed, and loud
voiced woman, who said: ''You give
lessons in painting, don't you"
The artist said that he did, when his
visitor, seating herself for further con-
ference, explained herself thus:
"Well, I'll tell you what l want: My
husband is building a big, new house,
and we haven't half enough pictures for
it; and you artists ask such outlandish
prices for your pictures that [ thought,
as I've got plenty of time and nothing
else to do, that I'd learn how to paint
my own pictures. 1 used to draw we'll
when | was girl"
Another artist says that while in
Vienna he was once waited upon by a
woman who said she wanted three
paintings for her parlor.
81 am not particular about the su b
jects, but want them.to be about two
by three feet in size, and they'd better
have a good deal of red in them, be-
cause, you see, that's going to be the
leading color in the carpet and furni-
ture. and the pictures ought to match
the rest of the furniture"

French Crown Linen.

The representative organ of the
blanchiseuses of Paris seems inclined to
think that after all there is some use
in royalty--at all events from the trade
point of view. While lamenting the
dwindling off of the stock of official lin
en- in France, the Bulletin states that at
Fontainbleau alone were 1000 pairs of
sheets, 900 and odd dozen napkins,
and 900 tablecloths. The other royal or
imperial palaces were even more
literally supplied. And beside all
this there was the crown linen, which
existed up to 1870, and generally in
cluded $4,000. sheets, large number of
bath-gowns, peignoirs, napkins and tot
lette covers, aprons, teacloths, ETC..
amounting in all to between $4,000 and
10000 pieces, entailing yearly washing
bill of some 81 800.
The Bulletin also furnishes us with
the interesting details that Napoleon I.
invariably slept between Holland
Sheets. but strange to say his angus;
nephew did not follow mon oncle in
this particular, pre- erring ordinary linen
sheets; Louis XVIII. and Charles X,
on the other hand, could only repose
between sheets of the finest of cambria.
But. alas the glorious days of off cial
laundrvdom have been banished by M.
Carnot and his predecessors.

Something About Boils.

A boil may be defined as limited
area of inflammation situated in the
loose tissue which binds the skin to the
deeper structures, says the Youth s
Companion. Generally it starts IN or
around a sweat gland, and approaches
the surface as it grows.
Many theories have been advanced to
account for the origin OF bo1ls, but 1t has
now come to be pretty well established
that they are caused by the growth OF
the tissues of certain minute organisms.
These are found in every such abscess;
they can be cultivated, their life history
can be studied, and when they are
placed in the tissues again, under favor
able circumstances, another boil, pre-
cisely like the first, is produced.
How these boils lind their way into
the system it is sometimes not easy to
say, but probably it is through some
slight break in the skin which has es-
capped notice. Some persons seem to
present a more suitable soil for the Gull
tivation Of germs than others, and GER
tain conditions of the system are very
favorable to their development.
A lower vitality. sea bathing, changes
of diet. especially during athletic train
ing. and convalescence from certain
fevers, are not uncommOnly followed by
boils. Children with scrofula and rick
cts are apt to suffer. Excessive sweat
ing, lack of cleanliness, the long use of
poultices, the application of irritants to
the skin, and especially the chafing of
clothing, seem to favor their formation.
Any part OF the body may be affect
ed, but they are most frequently seen
on the back of the neck, In the arm
pit and on the lower part of the trunk.
Where the skin is firmly tied down, as
in the passage of the ear, the pain and
tenderness becomes intense; in the
looser structures it may be but mod
crate.
Ii left to itself, boil will break in
four or five days, and discharge pus,
and generally some dead tissue known
as the CORE It is usual to apply
poultices till the abscess nears the sur
face, and then make an opening; but
often, if free incision is made at the
beginning, the process will be arrested.
Poultices are of benefit only to relieve
pain; they should not be continued
after the incision is made, since they
serve but to prolong the discharge.
More than that, DR.. Pye Smith, of
London, in the course of recent dis
cussion, declared his belief that the
crops of boils which sometimes are
seen in the case of school-children are
due to the transfer of germs, by means
of poultices, from an open sore to the
glands of the healthy skin.
The rational treatment, then, is an
early opening and washing out of the
boil, using fluids that are destructive to
the germs. At the same time the gen.
eral health must be seen to, in order
that it may offer sufficient barrier to
further lnroads.
