A LOST ADDRESS.
A Trinidad Lady Writes to San Francisco
for It. tlu na'.

Mrs. Harriet Mcnamara of S19 State Street,
Trinidad, Colorado, while visiting in st. Louis
last summer. did not suffer with her usual sick
headaches and indigestion. But upon her re.
turn to Trinidad her old troubles came upon
her. 1t was not the st. Louis climate that did
SO much for her sick headaches. The secret Is
told in the following letter, received by Thomas
Price & Son, the well-known assayers of 524 Sac
ramento Street, San Francisco. Mrs. McNamara
writes:-
"Three months since was visiting In st.
Louis and obtained two bottles of joys Vegeta-
BILE ssarsaparilla 1t was of great relief to me in
my headaches and indigestion. Since my re-
turn to my bone in Trinidad feel the need of
it, and as have lost the address write to you

The Singular Fate of u Rat.

In the warehouse of 1ilton q Co., rice
dealers. is stored a quantity of rice in
bags and barrels and in bulk. The rat
family is numerous there. On shelf
near the door are placed conveniently a
dozen ordinary iron paper files for filing
dray tickets. On opening tho doors OF
the warehouse morning or two ago a
fine, sleek and fat rat was found impaled
on one of the files, pierced through and
through, resting on the dray tickets,
wriggling head and feet and tail in en-
deavors to free himself. 1t was believed
that in attempting to walk along the
projecting ledge of bricks near the cell,
ing to get under the floor the rat missed
his footing and fell, and trying, catlike,
to alight on his feet, struck on the file.-

jewelers. employ this method: Begin
at the end and wrap the finger tightly
with fiat rubber braid, cord or thread.
Hold the finger up few minutes; then
remove the wrap quickly and wrap it
again. The third, or at most fourth
operation will generally reduce the finger
so that the ring will slip off easily. jew

find that much depends on the idiosyn-

How to Preserve Natural Flowers.

Dip the flowers in melted paraffin and
withdraw instantly. The mixture should
be only warm enough to preserve its
fluidity, and the flower should be held
by the stem and given one quick turn in
the fluid to get rid of air bubbles. OF
course the flowers should be free from
all except the natural moisture.

tion.
He was in the Dortmund' prison await
Ing the arrival of the executione- to
carry out the sentence. He behaved in q
moody manner, but nobody suspected
the terrible design which he had evil
IDENTIFY formed.
The warden treated the man with the
consideration usually shown to those
about to die and paid for his leniency
with his life. The prisoner suddenly seized
the warden unawares, and, notwith-
standing the struggles of the latter, sue
ceeded before assistance could arrive, in
strangling him to death. When the
other keepers got to the scene the warden
was beyond help. One of the officials
was with difficulty restrained from
killing Michalski on the spot. He will

further repair the damage. There is a
curve at Mtddletown which hides train

his engine and apparently did all in his
power to stop his train, but the impetus

CURING A SNAKE BITE

One Case in Which Whislc- Proved Eff
cacious.
An old hunter had been shooting
prairie dogs, on which there was a
bounty of ten cents per head. In max
ing his morning round, says the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, he would pile up
the dogs he had killed in one place, go
on to another place and make another
pile, and so on until he was ready to re-
turn, when he would skin each dog and
take his skin to camp. A RATHER was
concealed beneath one heap of dogs,
and as the hunter was pulling out dog
the snake bit him on the arm twice. He
at once fastened toward camp, a mile
distant, having previously taken the
precaution to bind his handkerchief
above the place bitten and around his
arm, and twisted it as tight as possible
with his rife rod.
He was quite sick before he reached
camp, so that he was obliged to rest
several times. In his tent he always
kept cure for snake bites in demi-
john. On arrival, for once in his life,
he really had a good excuse for getting
drunk, and started in in earnest. When
he felt the medicine beginning to work
strongly on him he loosened the band
age on his arm, allowing the blood from
his arm to circulate, having the effect
of at once SOLDERING him up.
Letting the good work go on, he again
resorted to his demijohn, this time keep
ing it up till he was gloriously drunk.
Shortly afterward his partner, return
ing, wished to send for doctor, but no,
he said: IT am all right In few
days the swelling went down, and, ex-
cepting little sickness at his stomach
at times, he was as well as ever. Asked
If the bite of the snake was painful, he
described it as the singing of a hornet,
only hundred times worse.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 27.-George Craig

his escape by bullying the jailer's wife
He appeared at the residence of Nathan

and exclaimed

Conway looked at the blade a moment
and replied:
eyes. Where did you get itf"
For answer the negro struck him a
terrific blow on the head, laying open
the scalp and fracturing the skull. He
followed this up with other blows until
ne mad cut the young man all to pieces
and he fell to the floor of the porch
almost dead.
His father at this juncture came to his
assistance, but the black brute:turned on
him, and with the first blow split the old
1aan's skull open. He fell dead beside
his bleeding boy.
Old Mrs. Conway then came up, only
to be slaughtered by having her throat
cut from ear to ear with the negro's
seythe. She died last night.
Charles Conway, another son, aged %
years, arrived upon the scene and at
tempted to disarm the murderer He also
was attacked and nearly killed.
The other members of the family, all
women, ran to a neighbours house and
got two men, armed with guns and corn
knives. They rushed to the scene of the
murders, to find Charley running and the
negro after him. A shot was fred at the
negro from a rife, but the bullet, al
though striking his skull, glanced off
Two loads of buckshot were then fired
into his body.
He turned on his pursuers and showed
fight, saying that he had already XII lied
seven persons and that he was going to
kill seven more before he died.
The two men drew their corn knives
and the negro fed. He ran half a mile
to haystack, where he dropped dead.

no inklinR of the nature of the case could
be secured. A stovepipe becoming dis
connected in the room above the follow
ing details were ascertained:
Sidney Smith died in an asylum for
the insane in New York city in 1885. He
never realized that he was worth q
cent, but at his death left his heirs over
81 100000 in real and personal property
Adon Smith was appointed administra-
tor, and, as the compliments allege,
formed copartnership with his brothers
and co-heirs, ]. F. D. and Harlan P
Smith, and bought up all the other
claimants, alleging that they were not
heirs in full, and that the personal prop
erty only amounted to 1926, 900, Believ-
ing this the others settled for $50, 900 per
family.
The defendants claim that they bought
on speculation. They all live in New
