A Novel Cure for the Grip.

A good many queer cures for inf1u- enza were put forward during the epi- demic, but none of them equals the remedy described ill the following ex.. tract from the Journal and Corre- spondence of Lord Auckland" The passage was written from Madrid in March, 17S9. do not know whether the coincidence has been noticed be- fore, but the epidemic seems to have been as prevalent throughout Europe at the beginning of 1789 as it was at the end of 1889. ''There is a rew in fluenza of colds, accompanied with a degree of sickishness. The cure for the lower people here is to drink large quantities of warm water and to lie down upon the floor, and to prevail upon some friend to walk upon them for half an hour. have not seen this amiable ceremony, but I am assured that it is literally true, and that half a dozen of my servants have gone through it within week.

rhe purpose of . Medical school.


 The true purpose of medical school is not to turn graduates loose upon the world, but it is to educate young men in the science of medicine and fit them to enter upon the practice of their pro. fession. The medical profession diff fers from the law ill this, that where as young lawyers may safely be per mitted to acquire good deal of their education through practical experiences after being admitted to the bar, to do this in the case of young doctors would be to expose people to the risk of all sorts of malpractice. It is. 2 much lighter matter for man to lose his property through the blunders of g young and inexperienced lawyer than for him to sacrifice his health or lose his life because of the incompetency of some new fiedged doctor New Or leans Picayune.

A Tunnel Through the Fog,

The steamer on which Capt Sarah was working was coming through one of the Newfoundland coast foR6 some years ago, behind another steam CT, which was miles ahead. As the first steamer passed through the earth clouds, it tunneled as clearly and as cleanly as a gang of men would tun- mel through the earth. Seeing this, the commander of the second boat steered his steamer into the tunnel of mist, and could plainly see the steamer ahead, while everything on the sides de clouds for some hours, it closed in on the steamer, filling the decks, The steamer carried load of the fog into London, and thousands of people wis sited her while in port to see her phe- nomenal deck load -Baltimore Amer ican t5

PETERS SAYS HE CAN FLY.

He Says He Knows 1t >Becsuse He Has
 Already Successfully Flown.
 Patrick Peters has arrived from Prince Edwards Island, bringing a ma chine which he claims will solve in the most satisfactory manner the question, "Can man fiyT' MT. Peters claims that with his machine he ''can fly through the air with the greatest ot ease," that he has done itmany a time, and is perfectly willing to try again.
 He says that five years ago he made up his mind that he could make ma chine that would navigate the air. He objected to balloons, as they were too far beyond the control of those who risked their lives in them, but believed that a machine should be constructed capable of being as much under the management of the flyer as horse rake. What he wanted to do was to go up and down at pleasure.
 Peters likes to talk about his ''bird, l" as he calls his machine, and his talk goes a long way to make the listener have faith in his perfect honesty. He says he took the wings and motion of a bird for model. believing that if he could ''fly like bird" it would be quite enough. He did not succeed at first, and it was onlyoafter making re- peated failures that he brought his idea to point where he could say with any degree of confidence, II can fiy."
 At last he constructed ''bird" of the following dimensions: From the head to the tail, 16 feet; from point to point of the wings, IA feet, and from the body to the end of each wing, 3 feet. The seat was in the body, and the motive power used in the propel- ling of the machine was obtained by a combination of wheels. His first real trial of his machine was made when he passed over a forest, making two miles in four minutes. From his description of the way. things looked below it would seem probable that he went at. least 2, 900 feet up in the air, and perhaps more than twice that distance. He says he went up and down at will, managing his thirty eight pound machine without the least de gree of trouble. s.s <. u He is anxious to give public exhibi
 tion of what he can do, and has the machine with him, so he says. He is willing to Ego up anywhere, , but wants
 to make a little money by doing so He says he iswiliing to give any desired i test and can go any distance desired He can keep a few feet above the
 ground or go up into midair. He say
 it is g perfectly easy thing to fly witt one of his machines. Portland people
 who know him say he is honest, and ht ss.acts that wAy.-Po Portland Press.

sometimes the surges beat over us, but our souls are still in accord with those who are gone, and they ring down to us and we ring up to them, and there is a sympathy between us that cannot die.
 THERE IS HOPE FOR ALL.
 "Oh," says some one, ''the crook in my lot you have not mentioned, and l sit clear outside of all the consultations you have offered" We'll, will take after you with gospel comfort and reach you beforeI close. Do you think your wound is so deep the divine sur geon cannot treat it2 Have you @ trouble that overmasters God9 Is your annoyance of such nature that you must suppress it9 An, that is what is killing you. Trouble must be told, or it stings to death the one who carries it. If there is no man or woman that you can trust with the secret you can trust God. Hie away to him. Tell him all about it. Lock your door and tell him aloud, and if you do not get relief you will be the first soul in the six thousand years of the worlds existence and the only one of the hundreds of millions of the human race, who ever called on God for help and did not get it. In all the universe, in all eternity there is not an exception. Stop breeding and commence praying.
 bless my God that, while there are so many crooked things in life, there are some things so straight God himself could not make them straighter. Divine help comes straight to those who will have 1t. The angels of mercy fly straight when they undertake 8 rescue. The hour of your final deliverance marches straight out of the eternities. And as the carpenter puts down his rule on 8 piece of timber, and with his axe hews away until the last inequality and ir- regularity disappears, so when God in the last great day shall put down his unfailing measuring rule beside that event which seemed the most twisted in our lives or in the world, it will be found out that the last discrepancy has vanished, and the last wrong has been lighted, and the last crooked thing has been made straight.

A RARE PICTURE OF NAPOLEON.
Taken Nineteen Years After the GenerAlas Death. When His BOdy Was Exhumetl.

N1n6Ce0n Oeo9rAAO
 Death. When His lsody Was Exhumsti.
 w. H. Green, of this city, has ill his possession an exceedingly rare and curious portrait of Bonaparte, which was made after his body had been ta- ken from the grave at St. Helena in 1S4o, after it had been buried for nine teen years. This is remarkable pie ture, showing how perfectly the fea- lures were preserved so many years after death, and giving striking view of the strong lines of his face.
 The history of the picture is also le- markable. The portrait was made by an eminent French artist by order of Louis Philippe directly after the body had been exhumed at St. Helena. The original was a medallion about four inches in diameter, set in pearls. When Louise Philippe lost his throne and was obliged to leave France, one of his officers, who departed ut the same time, took the medallion of Bo- naparte and carried it away with other articles of value. The officer, whose name has been lost, came to Bath with Capt. William Drummond. The off, cer remained in Bath for over year, and then went back to France, leaving the medallion ill Capt. Drumnond's care. Some years afterwaN Capt Drummond received letter from the officer asking that the picture be sent over to Paris to him. Dr. Isaac Ilsley Cummings, of this city, was commits stoned by Capt. Drummond to convey the medallion to Paris N
 When Dr. Cummings arrived there the city was again in confusion and he could not find the owner He there fore retained the picture and brought it back to Portland He returned 1t to Capt. Drummond, first having daguerreotype copy of it made by the captains permission The original iS now supposed to be in the possession of Capt. Drummond's daughter, who is an inmate of some religious institu- tion in France, near Paris. The copy was kept by Dr. Cummings for thirty five years or more, and was then given by him to William H. Green, of Princes express, in this city, who still retains possession of 1t. ga ,isk The daguerreotype is as perfect as the day it was taken, and shows not Q sign of fading. The original may not be in existence, or it may possibly have been returned to the French government by Capt. Drummondx daughter. This does not appear likely, however, for if it had been some one would have sean it before this and reproduced it among the other portraits of Napoleon which are .extant. os ay a- fa tss
 The picture has been shown to . number of Frcnchmen; among others, to one who saw Napoleon's body in 1840, when it lay in state at Paris. They all pronounce it remarkable and striking likeness. (Me.) Cor. Philadelphia Press.

He Could Carry . Trunk.

The Earl of Stradbroke arrived on the Umbria dressed in light suit of clothes. The earl is a nice looking young man who hasn't figured much in English history yet, but he hopes to get there some day. He distinguished himself in the Cunard pier shed. By some mistake one of his large trunks was placed in the 70" section of the pier instead of the IS" section. The customs inspector who, was attending to the trunks of the "O's'' would not examine the earl's trunk and told him that it would have to go over to the ''S". section. .il
 The earl was in a hurry and there was nobody around to carry his trunk for him, so he bent down, got 8 firm grip on his trunk, lifted 1t to his shoul- der, and walked off with it through the crowd to section 'sS."
 ''That's the first time I, ever saw an earl carry @ trunk" said one of his fellow passengers, land he seems to know how to do it, too. ."-New York Times.
 A writer in The St. Louis Globe Democrat reports that he has solved the problem of keeping pantaloons in shape. His plan is to have separate pair of suspenders for each pair of pants, and hang the garment by the supporters on two pegs about as far apart as a mans shoulders. Try this, he says, and you will notice that the pants never bag at the knees.
