BENEFITS OF SEA-SlCKNeSS.
Physical Advantages of the Natural In
ternal Turkish Bath.
IL Ior,r.r
[Ladles' Homo JOuTnal.

Hundreds If women-and men, too. for
that matter-who intend going abroad this
coming summer, dread the possibility of
being sea-sick. Every precautlon ever
thought of. printed, or told, is borne in
mind, and many women 60 on board ship
with q quantity of so-called remedies"
enough TO kill ten ordinary persons.
The simple fact is that no malady Is so
little understood by the doctors as sea-
sickness, and no matter what they may
recommend to quiet the fears of intending
yoyagers there is no such thing "a O RENE
DIV. Is their any cause for unessiness in
this? Not particle. There is nothing in
the world so productive of good results as
seasickness. True it is unpleasant, but so
is any good medicine. If women would
anticipate seasickness less they would be
more comfortable.
A good dose of seaslckness Is the best in
ternal Turkish-bath imaginable. You may
feel as if you are going to die, but depend
upon IL you will not, AS rule two days
is the limit. and then it is over, and never
will YOU feel 80 well. Lemon, oranges,
champagne-all these are recommended,
but the best recommendation, the most
practical and common-sense, IS to let the
seasickness have its way, and then you are
over with 1t.
You can modify any possible attack by a
little care as to diet day or two before
sailing by avoiding greasy and rich foods,
and this is wise. But don't 60 on board
with the settled idea that you are going to
be sick, Dismiss the thought. Keep on
your feet the first day out. Walk up and
down the deck continuously. BY this me-
thod you get accustomed to the motion of
the ship. tire yourself out, and, if you are
any sort of a sleeper, you will sleep sound
~ the first night.
Then the worst is over. But if not and
you do get sick, just accept 1t philosophi-
cally. Of course you will feel miserable.
But let the spell run its course and it Is
done. And you are better for it and GER
tainly wiser than to try to cure it by mix
ture of things. which, instead of remedyilg
matters, irritates the stomach and gives it
O reason for continuance of proceedings.
One of the leading medical authorities in
the world says that fifteen grains of sui
phate of quinine, administered two hours,
or four hours at the most before embark
ing, will completely free even sensitive
subjects from the horrors of seasickness.
The experiment is worth trying. In any
event it will do no harm. What good it
will do remains for every person To decide.

NHE MAN OR WOMAN WHO

HHE MAN OR WOMAN WHO
lives O hundred miles from
MUSIC, as Sidney Smith declared
that he lived "12 miles from a lemon, "
will hardly be tempted by what we have
to say regarding some new and beauti-
full Pianos just received from the we'll
known makers, @. G. Briggs & Co., OF
Boston.
But scarcely any other person can es-
cape the temptation TO call at our ware
rooms and see the latest production of
American art and craftsmanship in the
form of an 1891 Piano.
The BRIGGS instruments are
equipped with the Patented Soft Stop.
which makes practicing possible at any
time or in any place without disturbing
ones neighbors or making the whole
house musical.
In other respects they are finished in
struments of the finest quality. They
have that wonderful and rare tone which
makes them notable as the best accom-
paniment to the human voice.
We shall be pleased to exhibit these
choice Pianos to any whose business OF
curiosity may prompt them to call al
our. warerooms. Visitors and pur.
chasers equally welcome.

shARK-TEETh WEAPONS.
Pacific Island Natives Make Virtue OF



The natives on some Of the Pacific islands
being provided with neither metals nor
any stone harder than the coral rocks, of
which the atolls they inhabit are composed,
would seem badly of, indeed, for material
of which to make tools OF weapons were it
not that their very necessity has bred an
invention no less ingenious than effective,
says the Chicago Times.
This 10 nothing less than the use of
sharks teeth to give cutting edge to
their wooden knives and swords. The
mouth OF the shark contains 800 teeth ar
ranged in FIVE rows. all closely lying upon
each other, except the outer row. and so
constructed that as one tooth is broken or
lost another takes its place.
The teeth are not only pointed and
keen-edged, but are finely and regularly SER
rated. so that tho cutting-power is greatly
increased. Indeed. so great faculty have
these teeth for wouuding that the nipple
ments and weapons upon which they are
used have TO be handled with great care.
The KinemiE islanders make many
strange articles Of sharks teeth.

BoTEToURT's GRAND JURlss.
A Curious Phase OF the Boom Problem
Trial Of EikburR Nurd erers.

Correspondence Of tho Richmond Dispatch.1
BEssEMER, Va, May 1.-THE County
Court of Botetourt convened to-day.
Lawyers from Roanoke, Buchanan, and
other neighboring towns we're present, in
all nearly twenty.
A special grand jury brought in true
bill against James Wray for burning
stable and then was adjourned until to-
morrow, when other cases will be passed
on by il. In the matter of grand luries
Botetourt takes front rank among the
counties, there being one called, special or
regular. at nearly every term OF the Coun-
ty Court.
ADJOINING ASSESSOR.
A somewhat curious phase Of the boom
problem was brought out at the present
term OF the court on q motion to correct
an erroneous assessment of a tract of land
near Iron Gate. The property has hereto
fore been assessed at 81 900, but last year
in view of the anticipated increase in the
value of real estate the assessor valued 1t
at $4,000. AS the owner would be unable
to realize "a price even approximating these
figures be naturally is desirious of having
the original assessment restored.
SEPARATE TRIALS.
The trial of John Stevens. who, together
with Dudley Williams. stands indicted for
the killing of Gus Eisburg, was begun to-
day. Williams elected to be tried sepa-
rately. An account of the killing has al
ready appeared in the DISPATCH.
Williams was arrested near Covington,
Va, and Stevens, who had very foolishly
return I'd TO his home in Kentucky. was
captured by Deputy Sheriff Heck, of this
county. in the midst of his friends and
relatives.
