Women Who Drive Horses.

Any man who knows horses knows that It is a job for muscular and clear headed man to control a spirited animal in har. ness. Even fair quality of livery stable trotteT will give his driver stout work in an afternoon drive, and if he gets scared and takes the bit between his teeth he will Dtake ugly work of it. Yet in this city, and in the fashionable watering places, you will see women calmly perched on the box seat and handling the ribbons over animals which they could no more direct or restrain, if the animals did not wish it, than they could make the tides halt nr the sun stand still
 Whenever old Commodore Vanderbilt, who could handle the widest horses with hands of steel, was out behind his cracks, and saw woman driving toward him on the road, he used to draw out and give her plenty of room. There's not room for us two out here," he used to say and most horsemen would have agreed with him. You can create panic on the Harlem lane any day by sending a woman out 10 drive among the horsemen. Ioften stroll in the park, and it seems to me that | never do so without witnessing come furry in the dlive-a difference of opinion between a driving woman and her horse that results iii either an accident or narrow escape There are plenty of horses which women can drive safely, but these no woman with any prelensions to style wants to drive. The family horse has gone out of fashion with the jog trot. Society now wants to travel at Q high step and full speed The girl fresh from school requires Galway wall topper har- nessed to her phaeton, and her mother cannot enjoy her airing on wheels with put having an iron jawed, fiddlestring nerved, thoroughbred, that it would be hard work for life guardsman to handle, to haul her Even the fashionable child has outgrown the pony carriage and the Shetland, and goes in for mettled horse flesh that would scarcely be safe in the hands of his father. And still there are people, no doubt, who wonder when dis aster waits on folly. and accident accepts the invitation so freely offered it.-Alfred Tumble in New York News.

Don't Go Off Before You Are Ready,

Particularly on long journey. Be fully prepared. You cannot be, permit us to say, unless you are accompanied with the travellers and tourists 0ade Mec1tU, Hos telter's Stomach Bitters, most genial of appetizers, acclImatizers and promoters of digestion. Against sea sickness, ma laria, cramps and colics begotten of badly cooked or unwholesome food and brack- ish water, nervousness, increased by travel, chronic bilhousness and constipa- tion, the Bitters is a sovereign preventi- tive. It impatts a relish for food not altogether to your taste, and prevents il from disagreeing wi,h you. Never was there such a capital thing for the unfor- tunate dyspeptic who stands in dread of the best cooked meal. Stomachic trou- ble caused by i'll prepared viands aboard ship, or steamboats, and rations hastily boted at railway restaurants, is soon remedied by the Bltters, which gives a quietus also to rheumatism, kidney trou bles and insomnia.

ONCE FOES, NOW FRIENDS.
A Touching Story of Two Veterans of the
 CiviI War.

{ CIVIL War.
 Two veterans of the civil war keep bachelors hall in a pretty New England town, says the Des Moines Qa.) Leader. Both are heoroes but both are modest; so, out of respect for their feelings, they will be designated here as Federal Captain Thomas and Confederate Cap tain Williams. They had been college chums, and the three weeks preceding the first shot at Charleston were spent by Williams at the home of Thomas the same house where Williams now does the carving, because his host has but one arm, and where Thomas does most of the walking because his guest has but one leg. As soon as it was cer- tain that war was inevitable the friends separated and went to the front,eone donning the blue and the other the gray.
 The war was nearly over when they first met as foes. It was on the field of one of the terrible last battles. Early in the fight, Thomas, who had become a Captain of infantry, had his right arm shattered by a fragment of a shell that exploded above his head. In his excite ment he did not perceive how serious his wound was, but simply placed the wounded member in a sling made of his handkerchief, took his sword in his left hand and dashed to the front again. Tho battle grew hot and furious. A position at first held by the Confeder- ates was usurped by Captain Thomas and his company, who, by their au- dacity, were drawing a heavy fire from the men in gray. For quarter of an hour they were unable to advance one inch. and were constantly charged by a reckless company of cavalry, led, Captain Thomas soon perceived, by his friend Williams. Presently one of these charges proved disastrous to the Con- federate Captain. He fell from his horse midway between the opposing forces and lay motionless in an extreme ly dangerous spot, where shells from distant part of the field were dropping every minute. Captain Thomas saw that his friend was still alive and made up his mind in an instant.
 ''Come on, boys" he shouted, and dashed forward, followed by his men.
 Five men fell before they had ad- vanced fifty yards. Still shouting en- couragingly to his followers, Captain Thomas ran to where his wounded friend lay, raised him to his shoulder and darted toward a large rock which of fered shelter from the flying shells and bullets. The rock was only dozen paces distant, but once shell burst al most at his feet, covering both with dirt. When the coveted place of safety was reached Captain Thomas collapsed. A little later he was found by his vic toriOus comrades lying insensible be- side the man whose life he had saved.
 Captain Thomas carried away the stump of an arm and Captain Williams the stump of a leg as souvenirs of the fight; and when the war was over they laughingly agreed to form a pool of sound limbs and keep bachelors hall for the remainder of their lives

Nature in COnvulSion

Is terrific. Volcanic eruptions, cyclones, earthquakes are awfully and tremend- ously picturesque, but scarcely desirable to emulate in action and effect by the administration of remedies which pro- duce Convul5ion and agony in the abnor- nal portion of the human frame. Such is the effect of the old fashioned violent purgatives happily falling more and more into disuse, and of which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the wholesome, pleas- ant and far more effective succedaneum. They weakened the intestines-the Bit ters invigorates them. They left the bowels inactive, because incapacitated by ensuing feebleness. The Bitters on the contrary, and because it enables, not forces, them to act-a vast and fortunate difference-perpetuates their activity and regularity. The liver is benehcially stimulated, as the kidneys also are, by this medicines, which easily conquers, also, malaria, nervousness and rheu- matism.

Perhaps the readers of the EPITAPH would like to know in what respect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better than any other. We will tell you When this Remedy is taken as directed as soon as a cold has been contracted and before it has become settled in the system, it will counteract the effect o the cold and greatly lessen its severity y if not effectually cure the cold in two days time, and it IS the only remedy thai will do this. It acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions, lique- fyIng the mucus and causing its expul- sion from the air cells of the lungs and restoring the system to strong ano healthy condition. No other remedy in the marketpossesses these remarkable properties. No other will cure cold as quickly or leave the system in as sound condition. SO cent and one

EXCELLENCE OF SALT.
Many Ways in Which It Can Be Utilized
 to Advantage.

Many Ways in Which It Can Be Utilized
 to Advantage.
 If the feet are tired or painful after long standing, great relief can be had by bathing them in salt water. A hand ful of salt to a gallon of water is the right proportion. Have the water as hot as can be comfortably borne. Inn merse the feet and throw the water over the legs as far as the knees with the hands. When the water becomes too cool, rub briskly with a f1esh-towel. This method, if used night and morn ing, will cure neuralgia of the feet.
 Carpets may be greatly heightened by first sweeping thoroughly and then going over them with clean cloth and clear salt and water. Use cupful of coarse salt to large basin of water.
 Salt as a tooth powder is bettsSthan almost any thing that can be boug&AIt keeps the teeth brilliantly white zzf4, the gums hard and rosy.
 If, after having a tooth pulled, the mouth is filled with salt and water, it will allay the danger of having hem- orrhage.
 To clean willow furniture use salt and water. Apply with nail-brush, scrub well and dry thoroughly.
 When broiling steak throw a little salt on the coals and the blaze from the dripping fat w1ll not annoy.
 Damp salt will remove the discolors- tion of cups and saucers caused by tea and careless washing.
 Brass work can be kept beautifully bright by occasionally rubbing with salt and vinegar.
 Wash the mica of the stove doors with salt and vinC gar.
 Salt in whitewash will make it stick better.

AN UNEXPECTED LOAN.
A Bit of Carelessness Which Was Simply
 Inexcusable.

Heard by Chicago Tribune man at club: I was on the street the other day with a friend when we met his wife, It was stormy day; she wanted pair of rubbers; said the price was dollar. He ran his hand in his pocket and said something about unfortunate" I saw the pickle. ''Let me lend you dollar," I said, and he replied that he would. That morning had put five dollars in one pocket for the necessaries of life. In the other pocket I had placed one dollar for luxuries with the boys. I handed him out the money and he led his wife away to appease her growing expectations. I soon discovered that had given my friend the five-dollar note. However, knew that he was honest and didn't worry. I met him several hours after. He was excited and fatigued. He said, in bated breath:
 You gave me five dollars instead of one.''
 said I had made that discovery, but knew it was all right.
 But it isn't all right" he exclaimed, growing more excited. ''See here," he
  store, see? I says to the man: Give me a pair of dollar rubbers, women's size.' He did so, and she put them on. laid down the bill you had loaned me. The clerk says: I will hand you the change That was the first intimation I had that the bill was more than one dollar in de- nomin ation. The clerk came back and laid down four dollars. My wife picked it up and said that was just the amount she wanted and walked out. owe you five dollars which I didn't mean to borrow, and I haven't it to pay"
 It put me in a corner, because it was the only five dollars I had, and I had promised that change to my wife. If can square it with her I am all right. But that's the difficulty.

ANIMAL TRAGEDIES.
A Horse Lives in a Creek Thirteen Days
 Without Food.

Last autumn, while Maine man was. wandering in the woods, he came upon the scene of a peculiar tragedy. He saw a COW, apparently alive, standing beside a tree. He watched her at intervals for an hour or more, and wondered that she remained motionless so long. Some thing peculiar in her position aroused his curiosity, and he went near.
 The COW was dead, her head and neck wedged into the crotch of low apple tree. The poor creature had probably been reaching through the limbs for ap- pies, and somehow got fast in the crotch. The hair and even the skin were worn from her neck, showing how she had struggled for freedom and escape rom slow stagv21ion. The apple-tree was in an isolated position, and the poor COW had not been discovered in time to save her life.
 A valuable horse of Troup County, Georgia, was lost a short time ago. Diligent search was made in vain, and his owner had about concluded that the horse had been stolen.
 Thirteen days after he was first missed negro boy found the horse in the bed of a creek. The animal was standing in the water, unable to escape because of the high banks of the stream, and the falls in the stream above and below him.
 The negro boy spoke to the horse and was answered by glad whinny.
 The lad at once reported his discovery to the owner, who summoned several of his neighbors and went to the horse's relief
 The bank of the creek had to be dug down, and while the men worked the animal gave whinnies of delight from time to time by way of evincing his sat- isfaction that help was at hand.
 When the incline was completed the horse rushed up to the top and then staggered and fell to the ground, but he soon recovered and proceeded to his stable.
 He had been in the creek thirteen days without food, except the little that he had picked from the, almost naked bank. The hair on his legs all dropped off from the long exposure, otherwise he was soon as sound as ever.

A Vigorous schoolmaster.

The old Bath (Mc.) academy once had vigorous master in the person of one Weston. who ruled in the year 1918, and the Times relates this instance of his method: ''One day boy named Russell was accused of some misdemeanOr and Master Weston tonce summoned Rus sell boy before him. The youth protest ed his innocence, but the indignant in- structor proceeded to give him a cow hiding that made him feel uncomforta- ble for a week. The next day the teacher was informed that he had made mistake, that it was not the boy who had been fogged that was guilty, but his brother. So a brother of the first suspect was called forward and treated to the same medicine as the first. Later 1t transpired that neither of these was the right one. The third brother was tall, stout fellow, much larger than the teacher, and the master declined to proceed farther, but declared that the demands of justice had been fully sat isfied."
