Rough Policemen Sometimes Reveal Their

Better Selves.
, A sight which always attracts the attsn-
ton of the throngs in Fourth street Is that
of huge policeman leading little boy or
girl, who has managed to become lost, to
police headquarters, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette. The women take great
interest in such an incident of the street.
and the officer is frequently asked some very
funny questions about his tiny charge. One
hears now and then q great deal Of talk
about the brutality Of policemen. but the
public knows nothing Of the tenderness WITH
which the wandering waits are treated BY
the stern looking officers in blue.
1t often occurs that an officer carries lost
infant in HE arms many blocks, and not In
frequently the tot cries itself 10 sleep In his
arms. 1t is then that the coarsest officer en-.
hibits all the dormant tenderness Of his na-
tur., and some Of his critics might forgive
him If they could see the gsntlsnsas With
which he handles his charge.

corner of the ceiling an immense spider dis

is evidently of q reminiscent mind,
for over the mantel are two bits of literature
inscribed each upon white cardboard of

round the reptiles nose. The ceiling is
draped with huge fish net, oars are used in
place of curtain poles and an Indian canoe
is suspended from two corners and fitted up
for bunk. The woodwork is picked out in
Indian red, and fossils are scattered around
on everything, like cotton snow on a Christ
mas tree. That man will weary of it all as

Fashion seems likely to prescribe bustles
for some time to come. says Paris fashion
writer. The long, plain, sinuous skirts with
pleats behind, that make the more elegant
mondaines look like superior fantailed

pretty exaggeration of the day is the garter,
and daily it grows greater. Wide, shirred,

mime frivolities, but among such sterner
realities as walking sticks, and cravats, and

The arsenic scare is another big bug-a-boo.
The Boston Homeopathic Medical Society,
as recently published In THE DISPATCH, is
out with a proclamation that green wall
paper is full of arsenic likewise green every
thing-that the color depends upon arsenical
properties. The Philadelphia UphOlsterer
has interviewed every leading buyer in the
upholstery trade, and they all emphatically
deny this. They say that arsenic is too ex-
penSive, in the first place, to use so iber-
ally, aud in the next place that where 1t is
used it is Withdrawn by chemical process to
be used again, thus leaving nothing OF poi
SonOus character behind. Ten years ago it
was necessary to use arsenic but that was
before analine colors were discovered. Ana
line colors are made from coal tar. They
are beautiful and cheap, and it is not desir-
able to use an expensive arsenical color,
when just as good tints can be made for less
money. There is not an upholstery manu-
facturer in this country to-day using arsenic.
All shades of gray have had the frs
place for ladies' gowns for some time past,

A hundred years back it was customary
for :ussy people, old maids particularly,
God bless them. to hang little bags at the
head of their beds and put away things they
might want before morning. We have not
seen anything of the kind for years, says the
Philadelphia CpholSterer, but now we dis
cover that these bed-pockets are being sold
in England, although the extent Of their use
is not stated. They are arranged in fanclal
shapes Of brass, and hang by cords or rib
bous from the head of the bedstead. There
is a place for the handkerchief and place
for the watch; likewise place for the pocket
book and q sign to the burglar, "Step softly

keep here his cough mixture or bottle of

of these devices take the form of inches to

introduced and they certainly would sell.

Only few years ago you.i in search of lace
curtains, would 60 into a store and buy
either Brussels, Nottingham, tambour

the fashions change as in dress goods, A
novelty in muslins is in old gold tints, with
different-colored embroidery. The effect is
very swell. White muslin, with chic little
figures in colors, is catchy, too, and the en-
broidered hemstitch border is another new
feature. The Irish point a jour is an en-
tireIy new effect in lace curtain, the bor-
der being hemstitched with a wide "day-
light" stitch between the lace and hem. A
new feature in muslinIcurtains is what is
called the "Ho" effect, which adds largely
to the appearance of these goods. Muslins

The "sun" Cholera Cure.

That old chestnut bobs up periodically,
sometimes as cure Tor cholera and some
times for diarrhea. 1t is said to be the CON-
bined wisdom of several learned physicians.
Let us examine this product of so much
medical talent. The prescription is this:
Equal parts of tincture of opium, tincture
of cayenne, tincture of rhubarb, essence of
peppermint, and spirits of camphor. Mix
we'll; dose, 15 to 80 drops. Cayenne pepper
is stimulant that acts upon the mucous
membrane of the intestinal canal. increasing
its action. Opium paralyses the capillary
vessel of the whole alimentary canal, decreas-
ing its action. Cayenne pepper and opium
antidotes to each other. Rhubarb acts upon
the muscular coat of the intestinal canal,
increasing its peristaltic action, thus forcing
out it's cor tents. Peppermint is added on
account of its pleasant flavor. Camphor acts
upon the brain and spinal cord, and is di-
rect antidote to each Of the other ingredients
in this great product of medical science.
1t is sometimes useful in cholera or in
cholera morbus. It is rule among physi-
clans that remedies that antidote each other
should not 'be mixed together. This rule
commends itself to the common sense OF ev-
cry one but has been forgotten by the tai
ented authors of this prescription. ii.

The Great MiddIetOWn Wreck,
A Heavy Freight Train Butts
Into a Train of Excursion
lists, Kills Three and
Injuries Forty.

As train of 15 loaded cars on the @. Il. q d.
started Saturday on its return trip TO Wood
Vile draw bar broke and the train was stop
ped to patch it up for the run to Dayton
The work was done as rapidly as possible, as
the 25O people aboard all knew that train No.
A composed of 35 loaded cars was fol-
lowing them up at great speed. The con-
ductor and brakemen we're anxiously COM
planned to who advised all to jump in case
the train was heard to approach. Red lights
were placed on the rear and fagmen sent
back to hail the approaching train, but all to
no avail.
The excursion train was pulling out when
the Mogul engine with heavy train behind
went blowing through the two rear cars load
ed with human freight; were hurled into the
ditch and the customary horrible scene at
tendant such wrecks took place. legs, arms
and heads could be seen through broken win
dows or pinned under the wreck.
Means of the helpless sufferers, moans of
the dying, mingled with the frantic cries of
mothers in search of children. the deafenIng
war of the hugh engines rendered the scene
one of the most horrible in the chronicles of
wrecks.
All that was possible to be done was &C
complished.
William Matthews, aged IS: Lydia Freir,
aged %; and Frank Simoner, aged II years
were killed, while at least 40 we're seriously
wounded.
The cause of the wreck can be laid at the
door of no one, as engineer Schwind reversed
his engine and applied the sand as soon as he
saw the train. Both he and the fireman
saved their lives by jumping.

AYouthful Ananias.

Thursday of last week a young tramp
made his appearance and inquired the road
to Wood county. He was directed to Marshal
Burns who upon questioning him found out
that he had skipped his parental roof. He
first said that he lived in Holland, Lucas
county, and when the marshal was about to
telegraph he said he lived in Wood county,
and then again all but swore that his resi-
dence was in Toledo. One lie followed an
other SO fast that the air was clogged with the
youths wickedness.
He was arrested and taken to the city pris-
place. Finding himself free when the court
house corner was reached he darted away.
The marshal "unsheathed his long form" and
gave chase. The kid is yard high while
the official is #. Ain. and the righteousness
of the situation can better be imagined than
described. He was at last caught and later
taken before the mayor who was no more sue
cessful in getting at the boys true story than
the officer.
Saturday morning Inirmary Director Bos-
lehman received word that a young fellow had
stolen S. from his parents near Deshler and
ran away.
Asking the boy if he was not the fellow he
readily admitted that he was; that his name
was Jaky McCord; that his father, Sherman
MoCord lived in Wood county near Deshler
and that the cause of the theft was 'licken
from his dad;" that he went to Florida and
have the money to some boys there.
This is narrated to merely demons trate the boys

Tloped later on that it was all lie with no foun-
dation whatever.
The true story is: The boy was taken from the To-
