The Features of the Camel.

Apart from differences in species, to
enumerate the parts of the camel is to
catalogue instances of evident design.
His long neck, giving wide range of
vision in desert marches and enabling
him to reach farto the meager desert
shrubs on either side of his pathway.
The cartilaginous texture Of his mouth,
enabling him to eat hard and thorny
plants-the pasture of the desert. Ears
very small and nostrils large for breath
ing, but also specially capable of closure
by valvelike folds against the fearful
simoom Eyes prominent, but protected
by heavy overhanging upper lid,
limiting vision upward and guarding
from the direct rays of the monday sun.
Cushioned feet, peculiarly adapted for
ease of the rider and the animal alike.
Five horny pads to rest on when
kneeling for burden or repose on the hot
sand. His hump-nota fctional, but a
real and acknowledged reserve store of
nutriment, as we'll as natures packsad-
die for the commerce of ages-have you
ever thought of the relation between
your morning cup Of Mocha and the
hump of camel in Yemen? His wa
ter reservoirs in connection with the
sto1nach-not, as in the occidental sara
bian Nights" for thirsty travellers, but
for the animal himself, and enabling him
when in good condition to travel for five
days without water.-Rev. S. M. Zwemer

serpents and Their Skins.

In tropical countries serpents are
known to shed their skins at least twice
q year, and / have heard that some ex-
foliate four times. In the United States
the farther south we go the earlier we
find the period, and in Florida I found
SONS species shedding in March, at a
'time when Michigan snakes had not left
'thesf winter retreats. North Of the
forty-sec6nd parallel the innocuous
snakes genefally shed In june, but some
individuals get rid of their old eyercoat
and come forth In spring style in the
month of May. All Of the nonpoison-
GUS species change before the breeding
season, and I presume the massasauga
does also, but cannot assert positively,
as have yet to find an old one accom-
panied by young. AS near as can as
certain, our massasauga always exfo-
liates in July, at least during the heated
term.
/ # ones knowledge of snake habits is
alone from observations made on speci-
mems in captivity but little credit should
be given unless q study has been made
covering period Of several years, and
even then at best much ID lacking. !
am well satisfied that much that is writ
ten on the subject is copied from the
writer's Of the marvellous or presented

Tho Old Way of Baking.

Bake kettles to supplement the brick
ovens to this day are used on southern
plantations. These kettles or ovens are
placed upon the Goals in huge fireplaces,
on the covers Of which were put Goals
SO that both top and bottom would bake
alike.
Johnpycake and shortcake were often
baked upon board tilted in front OF
the fire upon the hearth. The turning
of these cakes required sleight OF
hand trick incomprehensible to my
youth, but my mother always did 1t
deftly enough. Small tin bakers, closed
on three sides, were afterward sub
mitted for the johnnycake board. Troy

You can't believe
some dealers always. They want to
sell the medicine that pays them the
largest profit. What you want to
buy is the one that does you the
most good.
Which one is it?
Sometimes, it may be matter
of doubt. But, in the case of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
there's no room for doubt. It's a
matter that can be proved.
With the facts before you, it's
an insult to your intelligence to
have something else offered as
"just as good"
And here's the proof Among
all the medicines that claim to cure
woman's peculiar weaknesses, irreg-
ularities, and diseases, the Favor
ite Prescription is the only one
that's guaranteed.
If it doesn't do all that's claimed
for it, if it doesn't give satisfaction
in every case, you'll have your
money back.
There's strength and vigor for
every tired and feeble woman,
health and new life for every
delicate and ailing woman and if
there's no help, there's no pay.

yyhv ARMY poppsr ,yas So POOR.

Why Army Popper Was So Poor.
There is an old weather beaten shed
that stands on the brookside, near the
road leading from the West Shore rail
road station ut Highland up to the viii.
iage, in which two men during the re-
bellion made snug little fortune.
The building is in the shadow of over
hanging boughs and directly behind a
mill that stands at the point where an
other road leads up hillside and to
the Bellevue villa.
/ was driving by there few days
ago when the driver of the vehicle, in
which l was the solitary passenger,
turned around to me, and indicating

''Those two fellers just looked at that

that grindstones was bein hauled into

the next thing the people knew there
was a rollin of them grindstones and
piles of powdered slate were carried out
and put in wagons and carted off.

and if they asked, the two men just
smiled and replied, 'Nothin,' or else ex-

bein used all over for soft film for

A Flag srade OF Undershirts.

Perhaps the most interesting war relic
in Maine is Union flag made from the
undershirts Of the prisoners at Salisbury
prison. The prisoners had set a day
upon which they intended to rise and
overpower the guards. The flag was to
be used as rallying signal. But before
the day arrived orders came for them to
be exchanged. The flag was brought
home by Lieutenant George B. Kennis-
ton. of Boothbay, a member Of the Fifth
Maine, whose property the flag now is.

REPRESENTATIVE MCCREARY, who is a
member of the democratic national
and who is known as a very
close observer of things political, says:
81 have talked with the managers in
New York and have looked about gen.
orally for the purpose of finding out as
much about the situation as possible.
Such devotion, earnestness land enthu-
siasm as found among the democrats
of New York was surprising. 1 could
find no resentment, no holding back or
want of interest, but the democrats
seem to be united and deeply sincere
and earnest in their support of Cleve-
land and Stevenson. In Massachusetts,
our people are very hopeful. They are
working as if they expected to carry the
state, and they say that Cleveland will
run right along with Russell"

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

THE scheme evolved by Chairman
Carter for raising money in the depart
ments differs from the old assessment
plan and, he thinks, it will bring the
national committee more money. Every
republican clerk is informed that while
the committee has not made anything
like an assessment it will be glad to re-
ceive voluntary contributions" and
that list of the contributors in each
department. will be placed in the hands
of those officials who recommend and
those who make promotions. In plain
words, no contribution, no promotion.

CHOLERA DECREASING.
A Better Condition of Affairs Reported
Iu the Infected Districts.

Iu the Infected Districts.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.-The official
cholera report issued to-day shows better
general condition of affairs in the cholera
infected districts. According to the. re
port there were 6,903 new cases of the
disease yesterday throughout the country
and =, 376 deaths. That is a decrease of
974 new cases and !, JOG deaths, as COM
pared with the figures for Friday. 1t
also shows n large decrease in the proper
ton of deaths to cases.
The Governor of Mini Novgorod has
caused $50 strokes with a rod to be adj
ministered to hospital attendant who
had spread false reports about the cholera.
In addition to this punishment the attend
ant, together with six other persons
who had also spread false reports con-
corning the disease, was sentenced to three
months imprisonment.
The Governor announces that similar
action will be taken in all cases where
false reports are circulated for the pur-
pose of frightening the people. The dis
ease continues to abate at Mini NOvgorod
and many strangers are now in attendance
upon the fair.
imported into Siberia by patches of con-
victs. No sanitary precautions are taken
in the cases of convcts. No examination
is made of them, and if they are suffering
with the disease or carry the contagion
with them, no attention is given. They
are not even isolated.

CASHIER MURRAY'S SHORTAGE.
1t is Said to be $75, OOO-- His Whereabouts
Still a Mystery.

NEwBuRGH N. Y.,Aug. 22.-The short
age of Cashier William NJ. Murray of the
Goshen National Bank is placed at $75,-
900. Notices have been sent out by the
reorganized bank of an assessment of 40
per cent, payable Nov. 1.
The deficit in capital is placed at $49,-
500, and with loss of $50, 900 of surplus,
the total loss is figured at 1000. The
ass essment is not relished by the stock
holders
Although n committee of the Board of
Supervisors has had the examination of
the county funds in hand for weeks they
have not yet told the taxpayers of the
county whether Murray, who was County
Treasurer also, is Il defaulter or not to
that fund, and there is Il great clamor to
know.
Murray was one of Goshen's Four Hun
dred, and his fall was felt by nearly all
the old aristocr;ltic families there. He is
still missing and his whereabouts is kept
from the public.

PROVES TO BE MURDER
Veteran Loveman Was Killed
for His Money.
HIS FRIENDS THOUGHT 1T SUICIDE.

Investigation BY the Coroner Reveals
Bullet and Stab Wounds ON the Body
He Had just Received n Large Sum OF
Pension Money.
TRENTON, N. j.. Aug. 22.-William
Loveman, an old soldier, who was found
dead in his home at Cranberry Park, Burl-
ington county, on Friday, was supposed
to have committed suicide, and the police
made no investigation and simply notified
the coroner. AS consequence the latter
did not go at once to the scene, and the
matter remained uninvestigated.
Yesterday afternoon Coroner De Worth
drove to the house, impaneled jury and
proceeded to make a formal post-mortem
examination. He was startled by the re-
suit. Loveman had been shot and stabbed
in several places. The shots had entered
his abdomen. On his breast was deep
stab wound. There were two stab
wounds in the neck and one in the back
of the head.
The coroner after finishing the post
norton adjourned the inquest until to-
day at Cookstown, when q rigid investi-
CATION will be made.
Loveman was veteran of the late war
and for some years he had been in receipt
of a pension. He took advantage of the
recent acts of Congress and applied for a
back pension. Some weeks ago his appli-
cation was favorably reported upon and
a large sum of.noney was paid him. A
search of the house fails to reveal any
trace of this money, and it Is thought by
some that Loveman was murdered for it.
1t is not known that he deposited it in
any bank and he is supposed to have
kept it about him as a means of greater
security.
Cranberry Park is small place, and
Loveland's house was situated some dis
lance from the village. Although every
one in the village believes the old man
W as murdered and is ready to assign q
cause for the crime, no one has been
able to advance any clew to the perpetra-
tors

THE BORDEN MURDERS.
Sentiment in Favor of the Police-ThG
Examination Begins To-Day.

examination Begins Today. .
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 22.-The au-
thorities are now awaiting with much
interest the return of George w. Hatha-
way from his trip on the cape, for a veri-
fication of the story he told at Craigville,
that Lizzie Borden had said she wished
that her father was dead.
The sentiment in the city, which early
in the week was on the side of the de-
PENDANT, has, during the past few days,
rapidly drifted to the support of the po-
lice officials. Lizzie's supporters are not
doing much talking of late, but are
working under cover and in conjunction
with Attorney Jennings, in building up
a defence. Part of the governments
case will go in at the examination to-day,
but the best part of it will probably
not
The defence will not produce any evil
dence, but depend upon an argument
that the governments case does not war
rant the holding for the grand jury.
Emma Borden and ]. o. Morse are
now making preparations to leave the
old house on Second street where the
murder was committed, and will move to
a much more modern house on June
street. 1t is pleasantly situated on a hill
above the main streets, and is much more
congenial than the Second street house.
The old house will be offered for rental,
and, if not capable of being let, eventual
ly will be torn down.
About 35 witnesses have been summon
ed for the examination. District-Attorney
Knowlton will conduct the case for the
State and Andrew J. Jennings will defend
the prisoner The defense has secured the
services of Melvin o. Adams, the we'll
known Boston criminal lawyer to assist
Mr.. Jennings.

oJlEr AT coAL GREEK.
Miners Awed by the Teoops--Trouble
Feared at Jellleo.

oAEeu AT OcbACOs
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 22-Abso-
lutte peace reigns throughout Coal Greek
valley to-day, and but for the move
ments of the soldiers the village. that for
nearly week has been the scene of
fierce conflict, is as quiet as a New Eng
land farm town. There are great many
strangers in the place visiting the scene
of the riots.
The trains leaving here yesterday car
ried large numbers of Knoxville people
anxious to view the ground where two
OF their fellow citizens fell in battle. On
arriving at Coal Creek and properly iden-
tifying themselves they were given
passes and allowed to go inside the lines.
Fort Anderson and the scene of Friday
mornings fight were visited by hun
dreds.
While General Carnes is of the opinion
that the miners cannot again rally a
sufficient force to do much damage, he
will not advise the recall of his troops for
few days, as there are several punches
of miners in the hills who still show an
inclination to be ugly, and it is
claimed that they are responsible for
the numerous alarming reports of the
gathering of large numbers of miners and
the threatened attacks that reach here.
The latest reports from the Jellico dis
trict are not, it is believed, exaggerated.
The report says that all the miners in the
Jellico district, including those from
mines at MiddIesboro, KY, are massed at
Jellico. A great deal of whiskey is beng
used, and the leaders are endeavoring to
organize force sufficient in size to take
Coal Creek. About eleven hundred of
them were at a meeting which was very
enthusiastic until volunteers were called
for to make the attempt to capture the
fort Only 200 volunteered. Less than
three hundred guns were found in the place,
and they will not attempt further trouble
unless they get re-inforcements.
Fort Anderson is on hill overlooking
the stockade and the valley below, and
could not now be attacked by the miners
without great loss of life on the part of the
invaders. In addition to the large supply
of ammunition already on hand there are
40, 600 rounds in the depot in Knoxville
awaiting shipment to Coal Creek.
Some of the men arrested were set at
liberty by Gen. Carnes after the presenta-
ton in evidence that they were quiet and
peaceably disposed persons.
After the prisoners are all gathered in it
is probable they will be placed in Jail at
Clinton, the county seat, and guarded by
a military force until the authorities have
dealt with them.
The force will be large enough to make
strong resistance in the event friends of
the prisoners should make an effort to
rescue them. There are threats from the
miners but it is not believed they will be
so foolhardy as to rush into the face of
certain death.
Despite the assurance that the State
troops are i'll full command at Coal Creek,
the volunteers of this city are still ready
to be called together at short notice.

THERE are two farmers in Midtown,
Pa, who have gone into the business of
extracting the poison from bees. They
catch the bees, and either immcrse
them for eight days in a bottle of alco-
hol, having previously arranged them,
so as to cause the poison to exude from
the poison sacs, or else they kill them
and squeeze the virus into glass tube.
The virus has a local repute as u cure
for dropsy, chills and fever and all
kinds of insect stings.
