PRETTY sTRYCHNINE EATERS.
The Innocent-LookingS Silver Bonbonniere
often Contains Poison Nowadays.

The Innocent-Looking Silver Bonbonniere
often Contains Poison Nowadays.
From the New York Sun.
The pretty, innocent little silver trinkets
ladies carry so invariably and universally to the
theatre or concert, and even to church, are filled
with something besides the perfumed French
bonbons and sweets they are designed for.
Tiny Misunderstanding gray lozenges are hidden
away among the candies in the bonbonniere,
which contain the tiniest bit of strychnine,
about one-thirtieth of a grain. They aren't
pleasant to the taste, but just what the gin
cocktail or sip of absinthe is to a man the
strychnne lozenge is to a woman. 1t is tonic,
a sedative, a bracer, an eXhilaratol all in one
Three day is the allowance but if my lady is
very tired, if the sermon is unusually dull, If
the escort to the play proves to be bore, IL she
wants her eyes to shine for some one whose ad-
miration is dear to her, the cleaning bonbon-
Mere is opened more than the regulation num-
Der of times. SO accustomed do the sweet
creatures become to the nauseating bitterness of
the drug that they swallow it as smilingly as a
baby does sugar plum

ROUGH ON THE BABIES.
Treatment to Which They Are Subjected by
Patagonian Doctors.

Treatment to Which They Are Subjected by
Patagonian Doctors.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
When a child in Patagonia is sick a messenger
is despatched for the doctor, and never leaves
him until he comes with him. AS soon as the
doctor arrives he looks at the sick child, and
then with much ceremony rolls 1T up in a piece
of skin. He then orders clay plaster, and by
this time the child has ceased crying, soothed by
the warmth of the skin. and so rendering still
more solid his reputation as wise man. Yellow
clay is brought and made into thick cream
with water, and the child is painted from head
to foot, causing him to cry again. 1.-The devil is
still there" says the doctor sagely, and undoes
two mysterious packages he carries; one con-
tains rhea sinews (ostrchl and the other rattle
made of stones in gourd decorated with feath-
ers. He then fingers the snews mutterlng
something for few minutes, then he seZes the
rattle and shakes it violently, staring very hard
at the crying child Then wraps it in the skin
again and it ceases crying. Again it is painted,
ratified at, and stared at and again it cries. This
is done four times, and then the cure is consid-
cred complete. The doctor leaves the child quiet,
EMBODIED in the warm skin, and goes his way,
having received two pipefuls of tobacco as a fee.
Strange to say the child generally recoverS. but
if it docs not the doctor gets out OF the difficulty
by declaring that the parents did not keep the
medicine skin tightly around the child and so let
the devil get back again. This is the only treat
ment sick children in Patagonia are ever known
to receive.

MANAGING A HORSE.
If He Gets Cranky Give Him More of the
Enncies Than He Intended to Take.

If He Gets Cranky Give Him More of the
Fancies Than He Intended to Take.
"When horse stops and proposes to turn
arolnd,'' said liveryman the other day, "don't
resist the turn, but give him quiet horizontal
pull in the direction he wants to turn, so as to
carry him further around than he intended to
go, and, if possible, keep him going around half
a dozen times In most cases this will upset all
his calculations, and he will go quietly on with
out much ado. If six turns will not do give him
twenty In fact, if he will keep on turning to
your rein you are sure to conquer, as enough
turning will certainly confuse him and leave him
at your command. If he will not turn and will
back to the rein keep him going backward in
the direction you want to go. He will soon get
tired of that and prefer to go with the right end
forward but before you let him go give him de-
cidedly more backing than he likes.'

SEVENTY BABIES A MINUTE.

The Worlds Annual Crop in Cradles Would
Encircle the Globe.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
1t has been computed that between SO, 100000
and 81, ,000, 600 babies are born in the world each
year. The rate Of production is, therefore,
about seventy per minute or rather more than
one for every beat of the clock. With the one
a-minute calculation every newspaper reader is
familiar, but it is not every one who stops to
calculate what this means when it comes to
years supply. 1t will, therefore, probably
startle good many persons to find on the au-
thority of a well-known hospital writer that
could the infants of year be ranged in line in
cradles the cradles would be overhowing, and at
the same time extend around the world. We
have the ingenious conclusion also that sup
posing the little ones grow up and the sexes be
equally divided we would have an army one
hundred times larger than that of Great Britain
and wife for each soldier besides.
The same writer looks at the matter in a still
more picturesque light. Heimagines the babies
being carried past given point in their mothers
arms, one by one, and the procession being kept
up night and day until the last conner in the
twelfth month had passed by. a sufficiently
liberal rate is allowed, but even in going past at
the rate of twenty minute, the reviewer at his
post would only have seen the sixth part of this
infantile host after they had been passing at the
rate of 1,200 an hour during the entire year
In other words, the babe that had to be carried
when the tramp began would be able to walk
when but mere fraction of its comrades had
reached the reviewers post, and when the
years supply of babies was drawing to a close
there would be a rear guard, not of infants, but
OF romping six-year-old boys and girls.

A Statue With Pretty History.

From the Liverpool POST.
The Queen has received a pen-and-ink sketch
of statue just raised in Germany which has
pretty history 1t is set up at kaiserslautern
to the memory of the late Emperor Frederick.
Some years ago, while still Crown Prince, he
paid visit to the hospital at Kaiserslautern,
where a number of Protestant ladies care for
sick children. The Crown Prince went about
in his kindly way, STOPPING his tall form to
talk with some of the little ones Among them
was little cripple, son of an infantry sergeant.
The Crown Prince asked his name, and when
the little fellow shyy said it was Frederick the
Prince took his little namesale in his arms and
caressed him. The little boy was attracted by
the stars and crosses which the Grown Prince
(who was in uniform) wore on his breast and
began lingering them while the Prince chatted
with him. This little episode was never forgot
ten at Kaiserslautern, and when the Emperor
died they raised his statue with the little boy in
his arms playing with the medals on his breast.
The statue, which is of bronze and little over
life size, stands in the quadrangle of the hos
pital close by the spot where he took up the
little cripple

Hot Weather Causes Bad Temper.
From the Evening World.

From the Evening World
The season of hot-blooded wrangles over
small things is upon us. The police claim that
nearly all of the minor squabbles which occupy
the petty courts and take up the time of the
policemen without doing any particular good
are as much the result of high temperature as
of anything else. A man who is oppressed by
the heat and sickness of his fiat or rooms pulls
on his coat, lights cigar, and strolls up and
down the streets in the evening. He takes a
drink or two, feels irritable and quarrelsome or
unnaturally gay and falls into wrangc with
anybody, from policeman to one of the young
women who make it a point to parade the
principal uptown thoroughfares after dark.
In the winter the same man would spend his
time quietly at home, go to the theatre with
his wife, or play billiards quietly in respecta-
BILE place. In summer the mischief which Satan
finds for idle hands to do is in full and active
demand

Ayers
Ell air Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. 1 am ready to certify to this
statement before q justice of the peace."-
II. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after severe attack of
brain fever my hair all came out. 1 used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
scians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. l then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in q few weeks. / think 1
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as restorative, but liked iG
as a dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. l believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

Wonders

Are wrought by the use of Ayers Hair
Vigor in restoring gray hair to its original
color, promoting new growth, prevent
ing the hair from falling keeping it soft,
silky, and abundant, and the scalp cool,
healthy, and free from dandruff or humors.
The universal testimony is that this prep
aration has no equal as a dressing, and
is, therefore, Indispensable to every we'll
furnished toilet.
"I have used Ayers Hair Vigor for some
time and it has worked wonders for me. L
was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly
becoming bald; but since using the Vigor my
head is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair
has ceased coming out and 1 now have
good growth, of the same color as when L
was a young woman. l can heartily recon-
mend any one suffering from dandruff or
loss of hair to use Ayers Hair Vigor as q
dressing" = Mrs. Lydia o. Moody, East
Pittston, Me.
"Some time ago my wife's hair began to
come out quite freely.

A TEaRIBLR CATASTROPHE.
Isaac Denton Killed, and others
Injured.
From Saturdays Daily.

Prom Saturdays Daily.
About ESQ o'clock this morning a
loud crush startled many Of. our citi-
zens, and every mi was Mortified upon
seeing the cause thereof. The rear
part of Fargo & Dickover's mammoth
block is now in ruins, and one mans
life was lost iu the catastrophe. II
seems that the workmen were pre-.
paring to put in place the iron pillars
TO support that part of the building,
one of the props then used in support
ing the Second Acor was knocked out.
This left too little support for the
weight overhead, and the whole floor,
with some stone on top. came crashing
down. There were three carpenters
working below, aud three masons and
two tenders working above, One Of
the carpenters, Isaac Denton was al
most instantly killed; being pinned
down by the fallen floor, which lay in
"V' shape. Ncls Finn. had his leg
broken, and the remaining workmen,
Theodore johnson, NJ. Nolan. Frank
Woods, Chas. Stevens and j. 8. Jones
were all badly shaken up, and more or
less injured, but not seriously,
and we learn this afternoon that all
are getting along nicely.
A coroner's inquest was held to-day
over the body of Isaac Denton. but was
adjourned to Monday, at 10 o'clock, at
which time the jury will render their
verdict.
Mr.. Denton came to Hot Springs sew.
eral months ago. He is an old soldier,
but where he came from, or where his
friends are, no one seems TO know.
