They know how to cure rheumatism
In Pennsylvania Mr.. j. F. Meigan,
q pittsburg cigar dealer, awoke one
morning with an attack of rheumatism
In his right arm. Working around the
store during the forenoon made it
worse. BY noon the pain was so severe
that he could not raise his hand to his
head and had to carry his arm in q
sling. One of his customers, on learn
ing the facts, went across the street to
E. E. Heck's drug store, and at his own
expense procured a bottle of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm and persuaded the
cigar dealer to try it. 1t ceased the
pain and reduced the swelling SO that
by the next morning he could use his
arm. and by the second morning was
entirely well. This is only one Of the
many severe cases of rheumatism that
have been cured by this valuable rem

HICKS Predictions for june.

The first two or three days of June
will be cool and clear. On entering the
first storm period about the Sd it will
turn very warm and culminate in some
hard storms about the 4th, 5th and 9th.
On or near the 10th or 1lth there will
be hard reactionary storms, with much
rain. in all probability continuing into
a storm period from the l4th to 18th.
This is the summer-solstice period and
much continued rain with holenights
of continuous lightning and thunder,
is very probable. Do not be alarmed;
if it occurs it will be grander than
dangerous. Mercury on the 25th will
prolong the reactionary tendency from
the 2lst, so that a continued "wet spell"
may fill the gap up to the last period,
beginning on tho 26th and running up to
3Oth. Upon the whole we calculate
that June will be very wet month.
with many active and some dangerous
storms.

As described by Mr.. James Mooney,
the training of the Cherokee bsll-players
includes course of precautionary meas
ures. ''They bathe their limbs with a
decoction of Tephrosia Virginiana, or
catgut, in order to render their muscles
tough like the roots of that plant. They
battle themselves with decoction of the
small rush, which grows by the roadside,
because its stalks are always erect and
will not lie fiat upon the ground, how
ever much they may be stamped and
trodden upon. In the same way they
battle with decoction Of the wild crab
apple, or the iron-wood, because the
trunks of these trees, even when thrown
down, are supported and kept from the
ground by their spreading tops. To
make themselves more supple, they whip
themselves with the tough stalks of the
wataku, or star-grass, or with switches
made from the bark of hickory sapling
which has grown up from log that has
fallen across it, the bark being taken
from the bend thus produced in the sap
ling. After the first scratching the play
er renders himself an object of terror to
his opponent by eating rattlesnake
which has been killed and cooked by
the shaman. He rubs himself with an
eel-skin to make himself slippery like the
eel, and rubs each limb down once with
the fore and hind leg of turtle, because
the legs of that animal are remarkably
stout. He applies to the shaman to con-
jure a dangerous opponent so that he
may be unable to see the ball in its
fight, or may dislocate wrist or break
leg. Sometimes the shaman draws
upon the ground an armless figure Of his
rival with hole where the heart should
be. Into this hole he drops two black
beads, covers them with earth, and
stamps upon them, and thus the dreaded
rival is doomed, unless land this is al
ways the saving cause) his own shaman
has taken precaution against such re-
suit, or the one in whose behalf the
charm is made had rendered the incanta-
ton unavailing by violation of some
QUE OF the interminable rules of the gak-
tunta ~ Popular Science Monthly.

A Wolf in a Snakes Embrace.

There was great commotion near tho
wolves cage in the Philadelphia Zoo one
night. A long, deep chest toppled over
on its side, the lid flew open, and big
yellow snake, with open mouth, glared
around. Seeing that no enemies were
tormenting MIN, and recovering his lost
temper, ne dragged himself lazily from
the box.
j With the dim Pickering light of the
pickering gas-jet glinting on his shiny
back, the snake made his way toward the
wolves den. Embracing one of tho
wheels, he gradually made his way up
ward, and was just dragging his tail
across the iron bars to the top of the
wagon when one of the wolves spied it.
With suarl, he lesped for the bars and
took firm grip of the snake with his
/ teeth.
In an instant the scene changed from
quiet to pandemonium, the other wolves
bowling and dashing themselves against
the bars in fury of rage, while the long,
1.-THE body of the snake waved and
| twisted like willow wand in the hand
of drum major It's body was useless
below where the wolf had grlpped it, but
quickly looping itself around the iron
brake-rod, it managed to get coil
around the VOLTS neck.
By this time, which was not more than
three seconds from the time the first / 1ise
was heard, the head keeper cried:
Bring the ether!" to the Waterman.
There was no time to be lost. The VOLTS
eyes were protruding from his head, and
| the bones could almost be heard to crack
as the snafHc -xerted its great strength.
The snakes eyes glittered and its jaws
moved nervously from the pain the wolf
was inficting, but both were nearly
motionless. A sponge saturated with
ether was applied on the end of pole to
the nostrils of each combatant, and in a
few seconds the snake fell in an inert
heap on the floor, just as the wolf re-
leased his grasp, reeling from side to
side.
The snakes wounds were dressed aud
he was hustled back into his box and the
wolf, who was weak but unhurt, was
allowed to recover at isure.-NeW York

Some Extraordinary FrescOes

The walls of the former palace of the
Bey OF Constantine are adorned with ex-
traordlnary frescoes OF the rudest and
most inartistic designs The story of
their origin is curious enough. Ahmed,
the last Bey of Constantine was anxious
to have the walls of his palace decorated
with oil-paintings, but, notwithstand-
ing the most diligent search in the city
and neighborhood, no native artist could
be found who was capable of carrying
out his wishes. In this dilemma it oc-
Cured to him to intrust the execution of
this difficult task to French prisoner, a
shoemaker by trade, who was employed
as slave in the palace. He promised
to restored him to liberty. The poor
wretch, who knew well how to ply the
awl and the "wax-end," but had not
the faintest notion how to mix colors or
handle brush, humbly aud piteously
declared over and over again that he was
utterly unworthy of the great honor. 1t
