the compound known as La-cu-pi-a. 1t
is usually stated in works on the subject
that it takes from two to five years con-

directly or indirectly under my observa-
ton many are cut short in their career
by the use of La -cu-pi-a. For instance,
if La-cu-pi-a with proper local treat
ment, is begun as soon as tie first lesion
appears, the disease is often entirely
eradicated in the first year of its dura-
ton. and many of the otherwise tedious
history of symptoms prevented Old
cases that have been allowed to run
unchecked for number of years find
in La-cu-pi-a an unfailing remedy 1t
is the most perfect medicinal compound
ever yet devised for the treatment of
this terrible disease, for it is equally ap-
plicable to it in all its stages and after
effects (Sequelae), as well as the differ
ent ages and conditions of life which
the patient may happen to present. 1t
is wonderful the number of cures this
admirable compound makes every year,
saving g multitude from lives Of wretch

veyed by infection. Whether the poison
saturates the whole system first and
afterwards breaks out into sores, or
whether the sores are first, which poi
sons the system. are questions which
have been much discussed by the medi-
cal fraternity, but without any common
agreement. The conclusions which my
reading and experience have led me TO
are that it is an animal poison, not a
microbe, which first affects only the
part receiving the poison, and after
wards the sore (chancre) contaminat-
ing the whole system.
SYMPTOMS.
4 few days after an exposure one or
more small, innocent looking blisters or
water pimples make their appearance,
which disappear of their own accord.
For short time after the disappearance
of the blistefs no symptom of any sort
is noticed. and the patient quite COM
monty thinks all is over. After an in
terval, which varies in different cases,
the glands in one or both groins become
enlarged and painful These may break
and become running sores (bubos)
After these disappear respite from
all symptoms is had again, which once
more encourages the patient to believe
that it is ended. The next thing to be
looked for in the course of this dreadful
disease is the appearance of q rash on
the skin, congestion of pharnyx, hoarse
ness and alterations of the tonsils.
There is in some cases another interval
of entire cessation of the disease after
the above symptom subsidies, to be
again followed by popular eruption Of
the skin and muscous membranes, and
occasionally falling of the hair, pains il
tie bones, and iritis (sore eyes).
All these pass by sooner or later, anC
long time of comparative freedom i.
now enjoyed by the patient. But the
end is not yet Small gummy tumor:

of the tongue, bones, skin and otheI
organs of the body. A general vitiated

Closing Houses In midsummer.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.l
The Records of the patent otioe show that
there are about hundred improved vsri-
eties of parlor stoves, besides steam GALE
factors and hot air registers. II Is singular
that we have so few oontrivances for cool
ing our houses In midsummer. Professor
Gascar of Toulon has invented refrigerating
spparatus-a combination of ice boxes and
force veutilators-prstty effective, though
rather apt to scatter iced-water rs well as
ioed-air. Besides, his machine consumes as
much ice as New Orleans confectionery,
and for people of moderate means . cottage
architecture would practically servo the
same purpose. The plan recommended by .
British army surgeon, of East Indian expert
enoe, consists in arranging the halls In q way
to create through draughts from four differ
cnt points of the compass. In our Southern
country towns one story frame buildings of
four rooms and q verands are more frequent
than any other kind Of dwelling houses.
The protector proposes to separate those
four rooms by two halls crossing one another
at right angles 10 the center of the building.
The bedroom would be in the corner furthest
from the kitchen, aud on sultry nights the
beds could be removed to the center Of the
house (the crossing point Of the two halls

Professor Peters was the most unique Hg-
ure among American ssvanis. The story Of
his life reads like the biography of the Wan
dsrIng jew. He was born In Denmark and
was educated in Germany. Early in the
forties he went to Italy to study and travel.
He Joined the forces of GaribsIdi q few
years later. he was promoted to the rank of
major of artillery for bravery on the field Of
battle. he was severely wounded twice.
After the failure of Garibaldi's movement In

by the government. He was obliged to live
In the woods for weeks, with hardly any food
and no shelter, to escape capture and exeou-
tiou. He eventually escaped on O small brig
70 Constantinople, where the United States
minister to Turkey, George p. Morris, found
him in need several years later.
For thirty.two years he had been an hon
ored and well known figure on College Hill.
He was eccentric aud was csricatured more
than any other professor. His manner, his
gait, his near sightedness and his German
accent have been emphasized In all the hu-
morous publications sent forth from HsIii.

THE BO0MRHANG BOYCOTT.

Nothing more foolish has lately appeared
than the proposal Of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton that in the event of the passage of the
Federal election bill the South boycott the
North. Thoughtful southern men are hasten
ing to rebuke the Constitution, and men like
Senators Vance and German do not hesitate
to call its plan senseless. That is just what
IL is. It couldn't be carried ont, and II It
could It would hurt the South moro than
anybody else. The South can't get along
without the North yet. It needs northern
customers, northern market for it's pro-
ducts and northern capital for Its own devel-
opment. The boycott that is talked of
would simply check southern growth in
every direction and tend, In fact, to set the
section back into the poverty stricken oondi-
ton of the days of the war blockade. The
people of the South would realize this the
moment the experiment was fairly begun,
they would be the first to feel the disadvsn-
tage and would probably raise the embargo.
Another branch of the subject that has not
received much attention is thus touched upon
by the New York Herald And yet We might
as we'll say seriously to our friend In Atlan-
ia, who cannot dislike the Force bill or any
legislation akin to It more cordially than the
Herald, that If he wants to see every north
ern and western State go Republican let him
make 1t clear that the southerners mean to
introduce boyootting into their politics.
Upon that issue we can promise New York
to the next Republican candidate for presi-
dent by $4,000 majority. The northern pso-
pie will simply not endure 1t. Their opin-
ions are not for sale. Their goods, not their
principles, are in the market. To be told
that unless We vote a. was dictated down on
the Suwanee river there would be no south
ern markets for northern manufacturer
would make the most hidebound Democratic
pedler q Republican.
No, the proposed boycott wont do. The
best thing the southerners oan do Il TO try tc
have their elections 80 fair that they wont
feel the pressure of any law designed to Sc.
oure free and fair elections
