Maiuon-Esis Strange Disappearance.
Oae of the most mysterious alsaI5-
pearancas ever reported to the Nov Iofi-
police is that OF Frank MCGOWAN. who vas
las. seen en- January Is, when he boarosd
a Christopher street car OF his way to mis-
home in Orangs, NJ. Tor ten ycars &c

BILE series of adventures that befel : e cz-
pedition sent to South America by Edison
IN search of apcculiar species Of enboo
to be used in his electric ligb system.
MCGOWAN, who vas a protege O. Tho great
inventor, endeared himself to Edison by
succeeding il q dangerous undertaking
where other agents had failed. So indis-
pensaple was this rare variety OF bamboo
fibre that Edison sent two expeditions to
scour the world in search of it. Wien
they both returned unsuccessful MCGOWAN
volunteered to head a party. After q hunt
of two years, during which he endured
hardships enough to kill q dozen men, he
located the growing place of the bamboo
and returned home, after traversing nearly
the whole Of South and Central America.
His health was nearly shattered and he
felt somewhat discouraged, for, while his
search had been successful, it was SO pro-
tracted that Edison's fertile mind had had
time to invent a substitute for the peculiar
c,,oo;oc of Jo ,,t,oo fho$ ho bo1 voO{1rn1 Eo

achievement by q present Of $4,000 and a
block of stock in his company. On Jan.

tory of Ernest Rau, 131 Clinton Place,
and after transacting some business
there left for his homo. Since
then nothing has been seen OF

Frank than anyone else, but he is alto
gether III the dark as to the reason of his
strange disappearance. He is also Of the
opinion that the man has been murdered
romance in his life which / paid little at
tention to at the time. but now I see that
it might perhaps account for his strange
disappearance. He contracted o fever while
in South America. and when he was lying
at the point of death a beautiful native
girl took pity on the young American and
nursed him back to life. Frank never tired
of speaking of the devotion of this girl.
He said he had seen many beautiful women
during his voyages around the world, but
he had never met one quite SO lovely as his
little nurse. l used to laugh at him for his
sentiment, but he merely smiled and went
on singing her praises. It might be that
be felt a longing to see his preserver again
and started off OIL the spur Of the moment,
but that is very improbable"

TO BE DEAD.
A St. Louisan Makes His Rcarrcnrance
After Burial.

After Burial.
The st. Louis press is puzzled over the
case Of John j.. O'Connor, which is GER
tainly q most remarkable one. 1t was
claimed that he had died, ana that his
body was taken to the morgue, where he
was identified by his wife, who had him
buried in Calvary cemetery. A few days
later it was claimed that O'Connor was
alive, that his wife had been mis-
taken, aud that the man who was taken
to the grave was not her husband. 1t
now t%ranspires that there is every
reason to believe that O'Connor was
not buried by proxy, but in his own
proper person some time between the night
of Monday, Feb. 10, and the afternoon
of Wednesday. O'Connor vas seen and
stated most emphatically that the grave in
the cemetery is empty and he exhibited a
cut which had been made half way across
the abdomen. He is Of the opinion that
he was really buried and that his body was
taken up and conveyed to a dissecting
room while in a state Of suspended ANNA
ton, and that when the first incision was
made it caused o flow of blood which re-
stored him to CONSCIOUSNESS. He stated
that he went to q lodging house Monday
evening and that he knew nothing more
until Wednesday night, when he found
himself seated on the courthouse steps in
a dazed condition weak and sick.

In the commons Leng the member for

American cattle justified q regulation pro-

landed. Chaplin, head of the agricultural
department, replied that the American gov
ment is not complying with the conditions
of the act of 1878, and therefore the pres
ent restrictions could not be relaxed. In
1889 forty-seven cattle from America af-
fected with pleuro.pneumonia arrived in
England.

pills Won't Cure Dyspepsia.

Dyspeptics are ever hopeless. They seek
relief from their distress of stomach and of
liver, and find it not. Indigestion, heart
burn, vertigo, extreme lassitude, loss of
energy, .peevishness, etc, is the bane of
their existence and mars the complacent
feelings Of others around the family fireside.
Why won't dyspeptics come and be cured
1t can be done. There is one sure way Of
strengthening the digestive organs and re-
moving every symptom of general debility
caused thereby. But this cannot be done by
the taking of pills and other cathartic mix
lures. Such treatment while seeming to
give temporary relief at first, in the end
aggravates the disease and Increases the
suffering, fol-. it is like whipping tired
horse, it irritates and urges, but the
strength to move at last gives out entirely.
Thousands OF former dyspeptics are now
happy, in health and strength of stomach
brought about by the use of the finest of
strengthening and healing tonic alternatives
known as DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla, the
condensed virtue of many excellent herbs
1t is the biggest and the best Sarsaparilla
sold.

Regulating the Feed of Fowls.

A hen is said to consume We pecIs of
grain food in one year, or forty quarts.
Hence, If one hen eats forty quarts of
food in 365 days, then 365 hens should
eat forty quarts in one day. or about
one quart day to nine hens. 1t has
always been the rule that one quart of
corn is the proper allowance for ten hens
in one day, giving pint in the morn
ing and pint at night This, however,
is the estimate of the total quantity of
food required. If green food or meat
be given, the amount Of corn must
be reduced proportionately. How can
this be done, as it requires very nice
calculation to equalize the difference
between a pint of corn and a head OF
cabbage, there being no standard by
which the two foods can be compared,
to say nothing of the fact that in some
fiocks one hen will eat more than an
other, and one will eat largely of one
kind of food while another hen will pre-
fer some other kind. 1t is wise poul-
tryman who can estimate in advance
the exact quantity to give, as the hens
may eat more to-day and less tomorrow.
