THE SHORTEST RoUTE.-Oscar
Ballieu was picked up near Aurora
Sunday night in AL unconscious
condition and taken to that burg
where medical aid was summoned
and he was restored to his senses.
He was brought up to Salem yester-
day by Constable VIM. Miller anf
given into the custody of Sheriff iI.
NJ Croisan. This is the same man
who was picked up in Salem one
night last winter in a similar con-
dition in front of the brewery. The
next day when he had recovered
his senses he was interviewed by a
JOURNAL reporter, and he told that
his home was in Providence, Rhcde
Island. After leaving Salem he
went to Albany and was picked
up in that city. He was then
sent back to the asylum. He was
confined there, so he says for three
months. He seems rational when
he has no whisky, but with a few
drinks he is a raving maniac, sub
iect to epileptic fits. He said this
morning that he did not want to go
back to the asylum, but would leave
the county by the nearest route. He
was given his liberty and crossed
the bridge into Polk county and
intended to make his way to Port
land.

The World Enriched,

The facilities of the present day fot
he production of everything that will
conduce to the material welfare and
comfort of mankind are almost unlim-

produced the world was enriched with
the only perfect laxative known, as it
is the only remedy which is truly
pleasing and refreshing to the taste
and prompt and effectual to cleanse
the system gently in the Spring-time
or, in fact, at any time, and the better
it is known the more popular it be

THE VIRTUES OF INDIANA MUD.

time TO drink large quantities of water
from the mineral spring. This circumstance
casts some discredit upon the pretenslons or

How Sister Margaret France, Of ST. victor's
Convent. Saved Her Deaf Mute Pupils.
Philadelphia Record
The latest heroine to come before the
public is Sister Margaret France, of St.
Nictors Convent. near Montreal, which
was burned at o'clock on Wednesday
morning. The convent contained large
number of deaf mute children as pupils,
but seems to have had no fire escape. al
though the children were lodged on the
sixth floor. AT an early hour in the morn
ing, when sleep is the soundest, Sister Mar
garet. in charge of the EXHIBITOR dormi-
! tory. ewoke. to find the room on fire and the
children fiOckiag around her. The stair
way was on fire, and the would-be rescu-
ers who came from the neighborhood had
no ladders. A worse outlook for success

She gather them in the corner of the
building furthest from that part In which
the flames were raging and, making rope
one. to the ground. She kept at her work
for half an hour and until the last child
was safely landed; then slipped down the
rope herself, with her hands and arms Bills
tered by the heat and the hair singed from
her head, and when she reached the
grOund-fainted.
That was like a woman. She can display
superhuman energy and courage in cases
of emergency. but when the crisis is passed
the reaction ia severe and her nerves can
not stand it; so she faints. Few women,
however. would have had the GOODNESS and
presence of mind displayed by Sister Marga-
ret in thinking so quickly and acting so
promptly in the midst Of confusing circum-
stance. She is heroine of the first water
and should be celebrated IA snch. Her de-
votiop to duty at the probable cost of life
was as striking and as finely displayed as
that of any of the herOines " hO stand high

In the big show-window of Maiden lane

1T took q long time to get this collection

the absinthe. the canary or yellow gem. the
pink the rose, and the coffee and the green

King Otto of Bavaria has of late shown
SOME lucid intervals. and there is actually
q hope of ut least partial restoration of
the unfortunate mon archs senses.
Two Sundays ago, after a day passed in
alternate spells of peeling potatoes and
standing on his head, the demented mon
arch was carried in an exhausted condition
TO his bed. He awoke at an early hour on
the following morning and began to weep
silently but bitterly. An attendant ap-
preached His Majesty and asked. as usual
by signs, If he were In pain. and to his
surprise received coherent reply from the
King that he was not suffering from bodily
trouble. but that his tears were caused by
his unhappy condition.
He then asked for his mother and per-
mitted himself to be dressed. and ate his
breakfast without giving signs of insan-
ity. He conversed for moment or two
diligently with one of his physicians;
and then suddenly relapsed iuto stupor and
sleep. When he awoke again his madness
was with him. and he sprang from his
couch and began TO walk on all fours,
growing like q dog.
