3: August
Flower

The Hon. ]. w. Fennimore is the
Sheriff of Kent Co., Del, and lives
at Dover, the County Seat and Cap
ital of the State. The sheriff is a
gentleman ffty-nine years of age,
and this is what he says: II have
used your August Flower for sew
"eral years in my family and for my
own use, and found it does me
" more good than any other remedy.
l have been troubled with what I
"call Sick Headache. A pain comes
" in the back part of my head first,
and then soon a general headache
until 1 become sick and vomit.
AT times, too, have a fullness
after eating, pressure after eating
" at the pit of the stomach, and
sourness, when food seemed to rise
up in my throat and mouth. When
" | feel this coming on if I take a
little August Flower it relieves
me, and is the best remedy have
ever taken for it. For this reason
I take it and recommend it to
" others as great remedy for Dys-
"pepsia, &C." q

About three years ago, two French
chemists succeeded in producing rubies
artificially. The crystals obtained, how
ever, were small, and since then the in
ventors have been occupied with the
problem of increasing the size of the
rubies obtained To this end consider
able changes have been made in their
methods of operating. Instead of using
pure alumina, as formerly, alumina aka
linised by potassium carbonate is en-
ployed. This addition of an alkali does
not alter the purity of the crystals OBJ
tanned, while it facilitates their regular
formation. In the original experiments
the operation was completed in twenty
four hours, but the reaction is now ex-
tended over several months, with the re-
suit of obtaining much larger crystals.
AS much as seven pound weight of rubies
is said to have been obtained at single
operation. Although the crystals are
still relatively small, they are sufficiently
large to mount, which was not the case
in the first essays of the inventors.

SNOW TWO MILES DEEP.
N. B. Lazard's Experience While
Prospecting in Alaska.

eyes, have been in country where
the snow is two miles deep" said N. B.
l.azard, a mining expert from Tomb
stone, Ariz., at the Palmer House recent
ly. Mr.. Lazard was in the East during
the recent snowstorm, and was talking
about what the people in Pennsylvania
called blizzard.
"They thought the two foot fall of
snow was something to talk about" " con-
tinued the visitor, ''but if they would
visit Alaska about two hundred miles up
the Yukon River they would find snow
that for miles is so thick that the banks
almost reach the skies. If it keeps on ac-
cumulating as fast as it has during the
last ten years scientific men will not be
able to say truthfully tho earth is round.
~ was in Alaska in the Consoflake
regions in 1885, and that year the snow
fall was quite heavy. Snow that falls
there remains, for it never melts. A
prospector named Jim Thomas was with
me during the trip, and one beautiful
morning he fell from glacier about 100
feet. The fall broke both his legs, one
of his arms, and crushed in several ribs,
besides injuring him internally. He was
conscious when l reached him, and he
told me he knew he was going to die. He
begged me to see that his mother and
sister in the East received all the prop
erty he had left in Harrisburg. l prom
ised, and have fulfilled the trust
"Just before he died he asked me to
pray for him, and, for the first time
since i had knelt beside my mother
when little boy, 1 got down on my
knees and asked God to receive the soul
that was about to depart. prayed as
never have prayed since, and meant all
| said. There was smile on poor
Thomas face when | said Amen and,
with most peaceful expression on his
countenance, he breathed his last. |
buried him in the snow, and to day, if
his body could be found, know it would
look as natural as the moment he died,
peaceful expression and all. :"
Mr. Lazard also had some thrilling ex-
periences with the Apaches. While hid
ing in a chaparral and not daring to move
for fear of his own life he witnessed
atrocities upon mother and her daughter
the recital of which explains why army
officers prefer to shoot their wives rather
than to let them fall into the hands of
the savages. "Afterward," said Mr.
Lazard, II had the satisfaction of shoot
ing down two of the wretches and of
sticking knife into them. / tell you
the only good Indian is a dead Indian"

A Hairless Horse.

Now and then very curious specimen
is found among the desert horses of
Australia. The oldest of these that |
ever saw was a huge, ungainly beast
without hair upon it. 1t was cut out
of wild herd and roped in by a station
hand, who sold it for drink and plug
of tobacco to some man riding along the
road past the homestead. The latter
tanned the hairless horse taught it few
commonplace tricks and showed it all over
the colonies. He was said to have taken
800, 900, though he spent it as fast as
he got it. l saw the animal many times
1t was rather well shaped when it filled
out, and having no name but high neck
and crest, it had something of the ap-
pearance of horses in antique sculptures
or bronZes. Its skin was perfectly
smooth and shiny and a dark mottled
brown in color, and the poor thing
seemed very intelligent and docile.

Ericsson's Exactness.

John Ericsson, the inventor, had not
only genius but the ''immense capacity
for taking pains" which sometimes ac-
companies it. All his work was so ex-
actly done that he could demand from
workmen the most rigid observance of
details in the drawings furnished for
their guidance, without fear that they
might go astray.
When the steamer Columbia was built,
its engines were put in according to his
designs. 1t was customary at that time
to get the length of the piston-rod from
the engine itself, and a man was, one
day, engaged in measuring it with long
baton. Captain Ericsson CHANGED to go
on board, at that moment, and going up
to the workman, he roared:
"What are you doing there, sir2"
"Getting the length Of the piston-rod,
sir.n

eyes, sir"
"Then why do you come here with
stickss Go and get the length from the
drawing, sir! / do not want you to
bring sticks, when the drawing gives
the siZe."
At another time, workman was en-
deavoring to put in the engines of a
steamship, and found great difficulty
with small connection which is des-
cribed as being CROOKED as dogs
hind leg" Finally he went to Ericsson,
and informed him that the rod could
not be put in place.
SIS it right by the drawing" was his
query.
"Yes, sir"
"Then it will go in"
And on another trial, it did. The
master brain had left nothing to be sup
plicd by the ingenuity of others

Salt for Stock.

1t is scarcely necessary, at this late day,
to question the advisability of giving salt
to farm stock. 1t is true that they may
live long time without, but what de.
priyations our animals may endure is not
the way We should look at the subject.
In European countries, where they have
not only the longest experience but have
conducted their experiments with greater
care than has ever been attempted in this
country, salt is generally considered as
essential to the health and comfort of all
herbivorous animals. In France, an OK
is allowed about two thirds OF an ounce
of salt per day to every two hundred
pounds of his weight, while slightly
larger amount is given to pigs and sheep.
The Germans have proverb that "onc
pound of salt makes ten pounds of meat"

Intoxication by ether is quite an old
fad which is still prevalent. The prac,
tice came into use in England in 184l,
and was at first kind of reaction
against the temperance movem ent which
has been inauRurated by Father
Mathew. The drinker first washed out
his mouth with draught of cold water,
and after that tossed off wine -glassful
of ether nate" as it was said, drinking
it quickly, almost at gulp. Both men
and women took part in this indulgence,
and were speedily brought into a state
of intoxication more or less complete.
The intoxication differs from that pro.
duced by alcohol. 1t is more rapidly
induced and more rapidly dispelled; in
fact, the effect of one dose may be de,
veloped and cleared off in fifteen or
twenty minutes. The delirium is sharp
the stupor, for brief period. deep; and
the excitement, so long Us it lasts, hys-
terical.

me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "Jenks' Dream.o Imag-

recommendation to use DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
great sufferer from sick headache, l
determined to try them, and, to my great
joy, found prompt relief and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
AS pleasant laxative, take one each

ITs OUR WAY.-We understand that
Judge Rich feels very bitterly toward
us because we said in The Kicker last
week that he got only his just deserts
in the row with Maj. Baldwin. It's our
way to state facts. The two gentlemen
were disputing as to the color of jack
rabbits eye. The Major was the soul
of good nature until the Judge pulled
his nose. We stood close by and saw il
all, and distinctly heard the "spat" OF
the bullet as it struck the Judge in the
shoulder. The fact that Maj. Baldwin
subscribes for five copies of The Kicker,
while Judge Rich won't have it in the
house, does not bias us in the least. We
say that when man pulls another
mans nose in malice he should be pre-
pared for the worst. If the Judge wa
not prepared it was his own fault He

A PEASANT physician named Rieger, of
Glogau, in Silcsia, announces cure for
diphtheria which an agent of the EN-
peror has examined and reported very
favorably upon. 1t is thought to be
mixture of extracts from two or three
common weeds and an oil. The salve
resulting from the mixture is liquefied,
and applied with brush to the interior
of the throat The remedy was discov-
cred by Rieger's father. shepherd. 1t
was applied by him only to external
wounds. Once, when young Rieger's
whole herd was dying of diphthera, he,
in despair of all other means, began
treating their throats with the salve.
The favorable effect was apparent almost
Immediately, and in few days every
head of cattle was well again. Shortly
afterward diphtheria became epidemic
in the village. Rieger was invariably
called to give his remedy in the most
severe cases, and almost without excep-
tion it was followed by recovery. Grad
ually its fame spread, till to-day he is
receiving calls to cure persons of diph-
liberia all over Germany. The cures that
have contributed most to his reputation
were effected few weeks ago in the
family of the Freiherr Won Falkenhausen,
in Bielau.
AN experiment for the solution OF the
tramp question was begun in Germany

was to give relief to those vagrants in ex-

twenty-one of them admitted 6,231 per-
sons. If tramp refuses the work pro
