Associated Press Dspatch by Special y, ret
LANSING, MICH, June "a. Mrs.
James Parish of this city had terrible
experience with a ferocious bull dog
last night in attempting TO drive the
animal away from passerby whom he
had attacked. She was set upon by the
brute who jumped at her throat.
Mrs. Parish left hand was bitten
in nine places The dogs teeth were
driven entirely through her left wrist
and the 1ieshy part Of her right arm
below the elbow was chewed to pulp.
In her efforts to keep the dog from her
throat the plucky woman finally thrust
her hand into his mouth and grasping
his tongue, hung on. The animal soon
became exhausted and gave up the
struggle and was killed short time
later. Mrs. Parish is suffering severely.

There's a patent medicine which is not patent medicine-paradoxical as that may sound It's discovery the golden discovery of medical science It's the medicine for you-tired, run down. exhausted, nerve-wasted men and women; for you sufferers from skin or scalp, liver or lungs-its chance is with every one, it's season always, because it aims to purify the fountain of life-the blood-upon which all such diseases de- pend. The medicine is Dr Pierce's Col den Medical Discovery. The makers of it have enough confidence in it to sell it on trial. That is--you can get it from your druggist, and if it doesn't do what it's claimed to do, you can get your money back, every cent of it.
 That's what It's makers call taking the risk of their words.
 Tiny, little, sugar coated granules, are what Dr Pierce's pleasant pellets are. The best liver pills ever invented; active, yet mild in operation; cure sick snd bilious One dosei

An Excellent Substitute for the Real
 Article-1ts Competition.
 Attempts have been made to produce a good artificial substitute for ivory, Hitherto none have been successful A patent has recently been taken out for a process based upon the employment of those materials, of which natural ivory is composed, consisting, as it does, of tribasic phosphate of lime, calcium carbonate, magnesia, alumina. gelatine, and albumen. By this proc ess, quicllime is first treated with sufficient water to convert it into the hydrate, but before it has become com p1etely hydrated, or ''slaked," an aqueous solution of phoshoric acid is poured on to it; and while stirring the mixture the calcium carbonate, mag nesia, and alumina are incorporated in small quantities at a time; and lastly the gelatine and albumen dissolved in water are added. The point to aim at is to obtain a compost sufficiently plastic and as intimately mixed as possible. It is then set aside to allow the phosphoric acid to complete it's ac- tion upon the chalk. Tho following day the mixture, while still plastic, is pressed into the desired form in molds, and dried in a current of air at a temperature of about 150 degrees c. To complete the preparation of the artifi- cial product by this process, it is kept for three or four weeks, during which time it becomes perfectly hard. The follow ing are the proportions for the mixture, which can be colored by the addition o1 suitable substances: Quicklime, 10C parts; water. 300 parts; phosphoric acid solution-1.o5 SD. gr., 75 parts; calcium carbonate, 1e parts; magnesia, to parts; alumina, precipitated, parts; gelatine, 15 parts.

Only a violet-a chaste little violet!
 Only flow'r, yet the flow'r Of my choice. Who can be dead to the lesson thou teachest. Symbol of purity, nodesty's voice: Why dost thou ever fin racokness so placid
 Seek to keep hidden thy tc uty so raro, Dropping thy head in the shade of the forest, Solitude's mysteries seeming to share? Ask of the stars when o'erhead gently gleam-
 ing,
 Shining so softly, yet brighter than gold Ask of the twilight CT dawn of the n nrning
 Why in all these is there grandeur untold Ask of the brooklet whose song ever mingles Sweet with the many fair voices of earth. Why doth it's rippling so calmly impress US Why midst the thicket its murmuriEg mirth. iAsk of the rocks and the peak dim and distant ' Why wonder hills clothed in purple and ! blue
 Why do they fade from our sight when most { lovely, Why as we near them pales faintly their hue Is not then beauty more beautcous when
 hiding, 1 Modesty lending O charm with her veil? Gem of the woodlands, the violet, then give me [ Flow'ret the sweetest thy beauty all hail!

sentry" as the inventor happily calls it. Briefly described by Jerrold Kelley, in Harper's Weekly. it consists of an in- verted wooden kite, which can be trailed from the stern of yes sel at any required depth down to forty-five fathoms. It is slung by a span-a triangle of wire-and is lowed by thin steel line which has a tenac- ity of one hundred and twenty-nine tons to a square inch of section. From the forward lower end of the kite trigger descends. This is functioned by a spring working in a slotway, and in such a manner that when the bottom is struck the trigger releases the span and allows the kite to capsize, and. by it's buoyancy, to rise instantly to the sur face. What is more, at the instant of striking the tension of the wire is so re- faxed that the reel holding it flies back the inboard winch which governs the action of the machine. But besides this quick warning of danger it gives the depth attained upon dial attached to the winch, and thus, within certain linn it's, affords an approximate estimate of the distance off shore.
 It is not proposed to employ the ma chine with speeds greater than thirteen knots, though the inventor claims it could be readily adapted to higher speeds. He argues that anything be- yond thirteen knots would be useless, as captain, doubtful of his position and anxious about the depth of water, would hardly go at a higher rate. The sentry is, however, by no means per feet, though, perhaps, next to Sir Will liam Thompson's sounding-machine, il is the most important contribution made in late years to navigational purposes

A Chnnco for Inventors.

A well known railroad man declares that one of the most useful inventions that can be thought of in connection with operative railroading is one that will automatically take the rear brake man by the nnpe of the neck and shoot him back from the train sufficient dis tance to protect it, when for any reason, an unusual stop is made. He declares, as the result of conSidSrsbl ble experience with the genus brakeman, that nothing short of this will suffice to make it at all sure that trains will be protected under such circumstances, because noth. ing short of some such device can com pei braHom to go back proper dis tance with the flag or lantern.-Indus trial World

A benevolent looking woman stopped in crowd where a man was playing a hand organ, with a monkey dancing on the sidewalk. "Poor little man." she said pityingly, and taking out a well-flled pocket book, she gave the monkey dime. Then everybody else gave something and the organ-grinder, having reaped his harvest, bowed low to the kind woman and moved along to the next street corner where the same play was enacted, the benevolent wo- man going snacks with the musician Detroit Free Press.

 The Swiss watch trade has under gone a complete transformation during the past fifteen years, owing to the work being done in large manufactures instead of at the homes of the watch makers The result is that there are much better watches at less cost, and greater sales. There are schools for teaching matchmaking at Geneva, Neu- chatel, La ChauX des Ponds, Locle, Bienne, St Imier and Porrentruy. In the last six years the numb Der of watches exported from Switzerland has in creased from 2,784, 234 in 1885 to 4,431,- 8O1 last year, these figures not including the works and cases exported sep arately. Altogether, the value of the exports last year is calculated at $2O.- | GOO O0O
