Mankind,s Greatest scouxes.

The ''two greatest scourges of man
kind" according to DR.. Lander Brunton,
are generally supposed to be phthisis
and rheumatism, but we are told by this
eminent authority that if any physician
were asked which is the worse of the two
he would probably decide for rheuma-
tism. It not only leads to as many
deaths as phthisis, directly or indirectly,
but causes a vast amount of loss of time
and power and immense pain. The
rheumatic tendency shows itself in a
great many other disorders, such as in
digestion and headaches. 1t produces
not merely pains in the joints. but in
fammation of the serous membrane, and
leads to the formation of ''clots" or
fibrous masses in the heart, which, be-
coming detached, are liable to be carried
to the brain and cause paralysis. DR..
Brunton stated that the old fear of caus-
ing serious damage to patients whose
hearts are weak by abruptly checking the
pain is now much diminished. This is
owing to the discovery that the well
known remedy, salicylic acid, may be
freely employed without risk, provided
it is absolutely pure.-London News.

Where Dirty Hands Are Allowed.

The most noticeable thing about the
American people, in the eyes of an Aus
tralian recently arrived, is the fact that
they wear their finger nails closely cut
and very clean. In Sidney or Melbourne
even the most aristocratic gentleman
never thinks of cleaning his finger nails,
and seldom cuts them. Even the lower
classes in the United States take good
care of their nails, which is something
an Australian can scarcely comprehend.
Americans are busy people, and one can
hardly imagine when they find time to
bother. with cutting or cleaning their
finger nails.
Another noticeable thing is your illu-
mination of shop windows at night.
After o'clock in Melbourne street the
streets are as dark as cavern, and one
can walk for block or more without
seeing light. Here in San Francisco
there are lights in every window. Even
after the shop is closed the proprietor
leaves electric lights burning to display
and advertise the goods in his window.
A Melbourne merchant would regard
this as needless expense
with an Australian.

TERRIBLY DECEIVED.
He Thought 1t Was Only Cold and
Found Out His Mistake Too Late.

OF all times, OF all seasons of the year this is
the most dangerous. II is time when the air
is filed with disease, when the wind watts
pneumonia. The deaths from this one trouble
alone are simply alarming. and in spite of all
warnings they seem to be increasing. Pneu-
monia comes suddenly; itacts quickly; it far
too often results fatally. II is all the more dan
gerous because it comes unannounced. tick
ling in the throat, a tightness of the chest, and
difficulty in breathing, an extreme feeling
OF languor, all may mean the beginning of
pneumonia. Being so sudden disease, 1t re-
quires, above all things prompt treatment
Every minute then becomes precious. If a
prompt reaction is brought about, the danger
may be over: If NOS, the end may be near. Any
physician who is called in a case of pneu-
monia prescribes stimulants instantly, but it is
always some reliable stimulan,, such as pure
whisky-all else is useless.
For years the standard, the reliable, the one
whiskey which can be depended upon has
been Dutfy's Pure Malt. IL has saved the lives
OF thousands who were on the high road to
pneumonia in its worst form, and ii has both
prevented and cured the worst forms of pulmon
ary trouble. 1t stands unrivalled. Be sure and
secure only Duffy's, no matter how much you
may be urged to try cheaper and inferior one,

Sitting Bulls War Club.

The killing of Sitting Bull, the famous
Indian chief, recalls the fact that Mr..
Max E. Dickerson is the proud possessor
of this great chiefs private war club.
Mr. Dickerson secured the club from
! Elroy Post, a scenic artist in the employ
of the Union Pacific Railroad company,
who received it as a present from Sitting
Bull himself. Mr. Post was doing some
work for the railroad company at the
time in and around Sitting Bulls head
quarters, and the chief took a great
liking to him, but would have nothing
to do with the rest of the men, although
there were six in the party. He took
Mr.. Post all through his camp, intro
duced him to different Indians, and
made things as pleasant for him as pos
sible.
In return for his kindness Mr. Post
painted for Sitting Bull two large pict-
ures of his two favorite ponies, Dry
Camp and Never Fret, which so pleased
to present him with something in return
for the compliment. Noticing large
war club hanging up in the chiefs tepee,
Mr.. Post said he would like to have it,
Sitting Bull mentioned the fact that the
club was an old relic, had been in serv-
ice over forty years, passed through
numerous battles, and because of its
curiosity he would give it to him. Upon
Mr.. Posts return to Aberdeen, S. D., he
shipped the relic to Mr.. Dickerson, who
now has it on exhibition in one of the
prominent business places of this city

A Grave Mistake.

"It is grave mistake" said the doc
tor, ''to eat quickly. Those animals in
tended by nature to feed hurriedly have
been provided with gizzards, or with
the power of rumination.
mo matter how good mans teeth
may be, if he bolts his food his stomach
must suffer thereby. When a person
swallows an imperfectly masticated
piece of animal food, the result is
that the food, instead of fulfilling
the purposes of nutrition, acts, on the
other hand, as source of irritation to
the stomach Thus, either the physi-
cal condition runs down or additional
food is required to maintain the general
standard of health. Americans are
called pie eaters Do you know why?
Because pie is something that may be
eaten ON the run, while the great Amer
ican enterprises may thus go on unim-
peded by loss of time Overhasty feed
ing is the bane of our American life.
We are all of Us becoming dyspeptics." :"

Characteristics of Hand dwriting.

Handwriting has its characteristics,
and is a study in itself to those who want
to become familiar with its peculiarities.
1t can very easily be told whether a per-
son whose writing you want to identify
is man or woman, a minor or adult.
1t is very seldom handwriting assumes
its permanency before the writer is %
years old. The age of the writing can
approximately be determined by various
methods. If it has Spencerian appear
ance you may know it was written after
1882, as at that date the Spencerian sys-
tenn was introduced. If it is the black
aniline ink that is generally used every
where now, you may know it was writ
ten after 1878. The older inks had iron
or some diluted dyestuff for basis, and
preceded the aniline. An analysis of the
writing will most generally determine
the date of the writing.-St Louis Globe

A Goat.Protective Association.

n VVot@F rOtectlve AsSochathVns
Out in that part of the northeastern
section of this beautiful city Of magnif-
cent distances where the festive goat
blossoms as the rose of Sharon and the
lily of the valley, and his fragrance fills
the soft Swampoodle air, goat protec-
tive association has been formed to the
discontinue of Poundmaster Einstein
and the defeat of the ends of justice.
One of the rules and regulations govern
ing the internal economy of the glorious
capital of 81, 1895, $50 people, more or less,
provides that goat which wanders un-
licensed upon the purple hills of Swan
poodle, and browses on her luscious to-
mato cans or masticates her esculent
old boot legs, may be apprehended by
the minions of the law, and being duly
impounded, its owner shall pay the sum
of 81 in the coin of the realm for its res
toration to the empurpled heights and
the enjoyment of the tomato cans afore-
said.
But the people affected hate this tyran-
nous restriction upon the liberty of the
goats and their own property rights, SO
each mans castle is a house of refuge to
the innocent kid or the rancid old butter.
and when the minions of Einstein ap-
pear every door is opened, and the fee
ing goats escape pursuit and are hidden
away until the danger is averted By
this means the goat population in the
northeast is rapidly increasing, while
the poundmaster's goat fund is actually
dwindling away to invisibihty, and the
poundmaster refuses to be comforted.-

A Cannon Exploded in His Mou5h

1t is on record that German called
Bucholz lifted with his teeth cannon
weighing about two hundred pounds
and fired it off in that position. While
performing at Epernay, in France, the
same feat the barrel of the gun burst.
Miraculously he was not killed, although
several of the fragments were thrown
over fifty yards. At Berlin two strong
men appeared, one of whom performed
the same trick as Samson, and his rival,
Sandow, of bursting iron chains by con-
tracing, and so enlarging, the biceps Of
his arm. Chambers journal.

Old Shoes of Royalty.

In Dresden there is said to be on view
number of boots, shoes and slippers
once worn by emperors, kings, queens
and princes, which should be of much
interest to relic hunters and shoe col
lectors A citizen of New York is said
to have in his possession a shoe and a
sandal which were worn by Queen
Elizabeth more than 300 years ago. The
shoe is in a wonderful state of preserva-
ton. Americans who show such weak
ness for royalty may be interested to
learn that from the latest accounts one
of our princesses has in her wardrobe q
couple of pair of shoes to match every
dress, and a. lot of colored Russia leather
morocco and black shoes.-Chambers

To Prevent Paint Prom Scaling.

To prevent the paint on iron or wood
from scaling off when exposed to the
weather, first thoroughly wash the parts
to be painted and then brush over the
surface with hot linseed oil. By follow
ing this method, especially with iron
articles, no scaling of the paint will oc-
cur. In cases where the articles to be
painted are small and can be readily
heated, it is better to heat them and
plunge them into the oil. The thin
liquid oil when hot enters into the pores
of the metal, absorbs the moisture, and
the paint then applied so firmly adheres
that frost, rain or air cannot effect a
separation. n.-Philadelphia Record.

over, the proportions between its height,

SLASHING WIlHAKNIFE
4 Vicious Negro Runs Amuck In
the Streets Of Peoria.
THREE VICTIMS At DEATHS DOOR
The Villain BrosGhs 70 hay as Last
Thrssss Of Lynehing II Asy of the
Wounded Dis--A wild sesas
Along the Dsspsr sds's rraii,

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 25.-George Berry,
. negro, ran amuck Ia the streets of
Peoria today and viciously stabbed and
slashed three persons, all of whom are
IN . critical condition tonight. This
afternoon he quarreled with . negro
woman in q house on Wster-st. Tne
woman fled when the fiend drew his
knife, but he overlook her, knocked
her TO the ground, and began cutting
her IN a savage manner, when two po-
lice officers appeared on the scene.
Sergeant Sloan. knowing the desperate
character OF the negro did not propose
TO take any chances and tried to shoot
him, but his revolver missed fire.
Berry then sprang on him with all the
fury of wild man and seriously cut
the officer about the face and head.
Policeman Campbell, who went to
Sloan's aid was also seriously injured.
Leaving his three victims, weltering in
their blood, the desperado ran up the
street thrustlng viciously at every one
whom he ran across. He was inter-
cepted by Officer Slever, who succeeded,
IN knocking him down and arrcsting
him. If any one Of his victims die the
murderer will probably be lynched.
