No Land on Which the Sun Shines

Possesses greater natural advantages thar
our own, but there are portions of the great
grain bearing West and fertile South, where
atmospheric influences prejudicial to health
initiate against them, in some degree, as
places of residence. Heavy rainfalls, ard the
overflow of great rivers, which upon their
subsistence leave rank vegetation exposed to
the rays of the sun, there beget malarlal fe-
vers, and there also the inhabitants are pc
riodically obliged to use some medicinal safe
guard against the scourge. The most popu-
lar is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a prevent
i've that has for over a third of a century af-
forded reliable protection to those whom ex-
perience in the futility of ordinary RENE
dies for fever and ague, has taught to substi-
tute for them. Whether intermittent or re-
mittent, miasmatic fevers are conquered and
averted by the superb anti-periodic and for
tifying medicine as they are by no other
preparation in use. Useit and abandon i'm
pure local bitters.

He Saved His Pennies Until They Reached
One Hundred and Then Drew $4,000.
Philadelphia pa Herald, May g.
The mother of little John Kilgallon, of 2041
Fifth street, says her boy is a lucky child.
He was born on July 18th. 1879, and now has
$4,000 in bank. Johnnie earned five
cents every day by carrying dinner for a
neighbor to his work shop. The weekly saw
ings were deposited in a small bank at home.
Ten days ago the father went home and re-
marked to his wife: eff had a dollar now,
l would invest it in Louisiana State Lottery
ticket" The son heard the remark and
quickly said: Pop, 1 got a dollar in my
bank. Buy ticket for me-" After talking
over the suggestion with his wife, the hus-
band agreed to invest the dollar, and a one
twentieth of ticket No. 45, $50 was purchased
in the name of the boy. Luck smiled on the
investment, and on Thursday last telegram
was received announcing that the ticket had
drawn the first capital prize of $500, 900. He
soon learned that the money was on the way
to this city in the custody of the Adams Ex-
press company, and by giving proof that he
was the boys father, received the SO, 600,
that being one-twentieth of the capital prize.

Watching tho Railroads.

The Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion has decided three cases Of Proctor s
Gamble against the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton road and others In favor Of the
complainsnts. The opinion was written
by Commissioner veasey. 1t states in
effect that the complainant arc large
manufacturers Of soap at Cincinnati. In
the Official classification common soap
stands in tho fifth class In carload lots
The defendant railroad companies have
always given It the rate OF fifth class ar
ticles, but for many years prior TO May,
lss9, they charged tho complsinants for
only net weight, the gross weight being
one sixth more than net weight; but since
May, 1859, they have charged for gross
weight without diminishing tho rate pei
hundred pounds The effect Of this was
says tho opinion, to charge one-sixth more
:or tho same service than had before been
charged. Tho charge for transportation
Under tho net weight practice, the com
missioner finds, was reasonable aud Just
without complaint on tho part Of the ship
pers or carriers. 1t is therefore held thu,
the increased charge by the Device OF
charging for the gross weight, being ono
sixth advance for tho samo service, wss
unwarrsntcd, IS It operated TO make the
rate unreasonable.

A Brave Life Saver.

ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., July H.
Jack Williams, the life saver, again dis.
tlnguished himself yesterday, the life he
saved from tho cruel waves being that Of
IN eightyoar old boy nsmod Robert Lsh-
man, OF Philadelphia.
The boy had got beyond his depth and
was too much frightened to call for help.
Williams had been watching him, and
seeing that he WIS evidently drowning,
dashed into the water with his usual dar-
Ing plunge. A powerful overland stroke
brought the brave young life guard to the
drowning boys side in an incredibly short
time, while the parents of the little fellow
who now fully realized their child's peril,
stood on the beach in terrible suspense.
When Williams reached tho boy he was
sinking the last time. He was light
burden for the sturdy young life guard,
who quickly brought him to his now de-
lighted parents. Vigorous treatment soon
brought young Lehman to his normal con-
dition. His parents wero profuse In their
thanks to Williams.
