Will a Maidstone DO Good!

What is in the maidstone idea anyways
That is the question many people have
asked, since reading MemI his dispatch
telling of death from hydrophobis
there.
"Answer the question, doctor, won't
you2" said Constitution reporter to
DR.. Virgil 0. Hardon.
1.-The medical profession is a unit in
pronouncing it superstition, said he.
81 have never yet heard of a person
being cured of the dread disease by its
application, and never expect to. The
idea of thinking that stone applied to
Che wound caused by the bite of mad
dog will cure it, and ward off hydro
phobia, is simply preposterous. The
notion is about on II par with the one
which some people have that pan of
water placed under the bed will cure
night sweats. l don't believe there is
one intelligent, respectable practitioner
in the land who believes in the maidstone
theory. ."-Atlanta Constitution.

Examples Of Long Life.

The recent death of George Bancroft
IN his seventy-frst year, and tho con-
tinued prominence and activity of Won
Moltke in Germany at the age of ninety,
and Gladstone in Great Britain at the
age of eighty -one, recalls other examples
of long life. Lophocles was ninety years
old when he was summoned before the
board having control of the dramatic
performances at Athens on the charge
that his intellectual faculties had de-
cayed. His triumphant answer was the
reading there and then his just completed
and greatest tragedy, "Edipus at Colo
nus"
An esteemed contemporary gives the
following list of nonogenarians and cen
tenarians: Isecrates, the 'old man elo-
quent," was ninety-six when he wrote his
celebrated "Panegyric" oration, and he
lived to be over 100. Gorgias, the
famous sophist, died at 10S. Hierony.
mus, the historian lived to be 104, with.
out any loss of mental energy. Zenoph.
anes wrote his memorable elegy at ninety
two. Theophrastus composed his "Char.
acters' at ninety-nine. Agathocles,
tliuhl VI pJlu'SuoCs hCpO u HIll SIuSD OU
on that city until he died at the age OF
ninety five.
Passing to the Romans, we find thai
Juvenal died at 100; that, according te
Pliny, Lucia, the comic actress, acted Oh
the stage when a centenarian, and tha
nj. Valerian Corvus was in full possession
of his faculties when he died in his one
hundredth year. Coming to relatively
modern times, we note that the penci
fell from the hand of the immortal
Titan only when he was smitten by the
plague at the age of nearly 100; and that
no diminution of Michael Angeles i'm.
aginative capacity was observable at the
age of ninety-fve.
We might add that similar instance
are on record in ancient and moderl
French and English history; Will
Whittier and Oliver Wendell Holmes, il
America, are already walking close i,
the steps of George Bancroft. Loui

Railroading in the Himalayas.

''The magnificent scenery IN the Grand
Canon in Colorado is nothing when COM
pared with the view from a railroad
coach when passing over the Himalaya
Mountains, said Colonel Tanner, of Cal
cutta, to a Chicago Tribune reporter, the
other day. "The Bolon railway runs
over the Himalaya Mountains 1000 feet
above the sea level, winds in and out OF
gorges and passes over bridges spanning
streams flowing 1000 feet below. The
sight is enough to turn a mans hair gray.
But accidents there are not frequent.
The road-bed is the best in the world,
and the engineering work is marvel"

Needle Works Monstrosities.

In the garrets of old country mansions
are great hair trunks that hold the relics
of the past. Examining the contents,
one can see what hideous monstrosities
grew beneath the fingers of the ladies of
the day, says Mrs. Dallas. What crude
horrors in "cross-stitch," what flat,
wishy-washy" ''flower paintings" what
alarming baskets of wax fruit, what
queer shell grottos. The fashionable
girls of this generation are artistic even
in their "fancy work" They under
stand the principles of decoration, they
have systems of color, and where the
girl of the past daubed and tinlSled they
s'study art' and learn music thoroughly.
Women are educated to day; then they
were accomplished" Is not the pres
ent system bettera think so.--Boston

there's a good deal On
guarantee business in the store

excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth

This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with

TRADE CIRCLES OF 1890,
Review OF the Year aud Outlook foi

weekly review of the trade says: The new
year opens with go much uncertainty, it is
natural disposition to dwell upon the crowd
iug records of the year just closed, which
show an extraordinary volume of business
and in many lines surpsssing all precedent.
The iron. cotton, leather. boot and sloe
and meat production Is larger than any
previous year. The clearing house ex-
changes show the volume OF all business
for 1890 to exceed any previous year By at
at least 10 per cent. though 10 par, the in
crease is due to a higher range of prices
during the greater part of the year. The
advance in prices on all commodities
compared with yesr ago 10 6 per
cent, and will average about o.
per cent. higher for eight months.
This unprecedented Volume of business is
not altogether successful and the record of
failures hal been in number and the
amount of liabilities larger than any pre-
vious year since 1884, though in number
only a trifie greater than 1859. the average
liabilities ST. ,io6 for the year against si5,-
672 the year before. The average liabili-
ties for the last quarter were greater than
at any other fourth qusrtsr on record,

Hostile Band Surrounded by Uncle
Sans Boys.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. "a Bees special
from Rushville says tha, II is definitely
known that there are about iIo0 hostiies
fortified near the mouth of White Clay
creek. Gen. Brooke with detachments Of
troops is swinging round to the north OF
them. Gen Carr 10 supposed 10 be sp-
preaching from the west and Gen. Miles
will make dash from the south. The
force thus engaged is thought to be ample
for snnihilafing the entire band. Embas-
sadors from this hostile camp were today
again suing for peace and offering the sur
render Of arms. II is not known whether
their terms will be granted or not. gem
eral opinion prevails that in view of the ac-
ton of the rebels 10 slauahtering the
troops while under the flag Of truce, not
much weight will be given to their pre-
tended repentance. Thst the bostiles have
been largely re-enforced within the past
two days there is no longer any doubt.
There seems to be reasonable sroupd for
the rumors that Indians from other agen-
oies or the British possessions hsve joined
them. The report has reached here that q
foraging party of Indians from the main
camp on the White Clay attacked the
ranch Of Douglas Points. few miles west,
last night. killed him and drove away 400
