REMARKABLE INCIDENT.
A Lecturer Discovers Hts Danger and
Loses His Life A Tcrrioia Warn
ting to Others,

Itisa scene In the lecture-room OF n
medical college in New Orleans, The
professor is lccturing before an intelh-
gent class of medical students. He is
describing the human body, its defects
and the danger by which il surrounded,
In order to illustrate It he has fluids
from the human body, which he is sub
iecting 70 chemical tests,
"Gentlemen,' he said, al have de-
scribed 10 you the appearance of the
human fluid in q diseased state; | will
now show YOU how the same fluid ap-
peaN in n healthy state and he sub
iected his own TO the test, As he held
it up 10 the light for u moment, his hand
tremhlcd, he caught his breath, he paled
and exclaimed: "Gentlemeu, have just
made most horrible discovery | my
sell have Brights disease OF the kidneys" ="
In less than one year he was dead.
The above dramatic and strictly true
incident shows the terrible danger and
mysterious nature OF this modern disease,
which may well be called the demon of
the present century. Ii steals into the
system like thief, maniieSts its presence
by the Commonest. symptoms and ias-
tens itself upon the system before the
victim is aware. 1t is nearly as heredi-
tary rs consumption, quite as common
and fully ms fatal. Entire families, in
heriting it from their ancestors, have
died, yet none OF the number knew or
realized the mysterious power which was
removing them. Hundreds OF people
die daily by what is called heart disease,
apoplexy, paralysis, spinal complaint,
rheumatism, pneumonia and other COM
mon diseases, when in reality it is
Bright's disease OF the kidneys, These
are solemn facts, but all the more serious
because OF their solemnity.
There has never been but one remedy
known for the cure OF Bright's disease,
or even for its relief, and that remedy
has become the most popular of any pre-
paration known TO the world. II is
Warmers Safe Cure. 1t has taken men,
and women, too, who were in the lowest
stages and restored them to perfect
health and strength. II will inyaribly
check the first stages OF this terrible dis
| ease, il taken in time. 1t is indorsed by
physicians, approved by scientists and
used by the best people in the land, IL
is a scientific preparation and owes its
popularity wholly 70 its power. 1t can
| be procured OF any reliable dealer, but
great care should be exercised to secure
the genuine and not permit any un-
scrupulous dealer to sell anything in its
place.

No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder. The Royal"
is shown by all tests, official scientific, and prac
tcaL stronger, purer and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manutac-
turers and we'll known by all dealers,
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the Royal" it is because OF
the greater profit, This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the Royal" To give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
inferior materials and thus, though selling for the
same, give less value to the consumer
LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off
upon you any baking powder in place OF the

A Tramp's Joke Drives Little Girl
Into Insanity.


Into Insanity.
A young girl was taken to Freeport,
Iowa, by her father few days ago for
treatment for most interesting and
odd complaint. A tramp some months
ago happened along the road near the
farm OF Walter Halliwell, and while
eating a dinner which had been given
him by Mrs. Halliwell, he noticed the
little girl Ada.
She seemed TO be afraid of him, and
in spirit Of fun he told her that il
she did not stop cycling him so he
would turn her into rabbit which
was always afraid of everybody. This
frightened the girl still more, and her
fear became so great that finally she
fell into a convulsion, which nearly
caused her death.
When she recovered it was noticed
that she had received great shock
and that her mind was impaired. She
imagined that she was rabbit and
seemed afraid of every one, even the
members of her own family, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph.
She got so that she refused TO talk,
and would shun every person who
came near her. She would whimper
and cry. and at last her case became SC
pitiable that her father determined &c
take her to Freeport for treatment
When seen at DIR. Crawford's Office she
exhibited every evidence of fear at the
approach Of every one, and her whole
appearance showed that she was labor
ing under some great mental strain.
Her eyes and face showed that sh
felt some change, and while it ma.
seem strange to say, yet they had til
appearance of the eyes Of a rabbit

Here is what La Petite Gironde, a
Bordeax journal, has to say of Ire
lands fair pleader:
"a brow crowned by halo of golden
hair; large eyes, which are now fired
with indignation, now bathed in tears
of pity; a graceful, slender and supple
! figure, the gesture large and noble, the
whole appearance stamped with
character of supreme elegance-such
| is Miss Maud Come. Miss Come has
made it her mission to gain the at
tention of France and through France
of Europe for her tale of lrelands
sufferings and wrongs. Her patri-
4 otto efforts have been crowned with
success, attended by large subscrip-
tions to a fund for the relief of Irish
/ distress. Miss Come possesses true
oratorical instinct-she knows at once
how to inform and how to per-
suade, Each great epoch Of
Ireland's history is summarized in a
few brilliant and clear-cut sentences
which sometimes glow with passion as
she recounts the more tragic episodes
of that unhappy story"
After completing her tour of Europe
it is said to be Miss Comes intention
to LEI ture in the United States in sup
port of the Irish cause.

END VIEW OF THE wINANs BoAf.


Winans, the great Baltimore engineer,
wasted much money, time and ingenu-
ity. Harper's Weekly Of Oct 20, 1858,
gives space TO an elaborate exposition
OF the hopes that rested on Mr.. Winans'
efforts to make fast vessel.
The winans boat was a queer object.
II had no masts, no keel, no deck. II
was literarally cigar-shaped, the ends
tapering to a point and the whole de-
sign being simply that Of a metallic
cylinder. If this cylinder had been
equipred with pair Of
screw propellers it might have
been truly pioneer whalebaclz in
its general aspect Instead. however,
MIR. winans rejected both paddle
wheels and screw and sought to Sc
cure propulsiye power by combining
both principles.
Around the middle Of his cigar Mr..
Winans ran a huge continuance that
can only be described as 4 propeller
ring. This ring was fitted with pad
die blades set at an angle in the frame.
These were relied upon TO secure swift
/ propulsion. The vessel was sixteen
| feet in circumference and $50 feet long,
with spade-like rudders at either end.
The steersman was enseonsed in sort
Of prompters box midway between the
center and the bow. il was not a sue
cess, and the coming on of the war
stopped further expci imenting.
Mr. Winans' ideas were in line with
those of the whalebackers. Speak
ing OF what he was trying to accom-
plish, he said:
Experience has shown that steam
power on sea-going vessels when used
in aid of sails insures to great eS
tent dispatch, certainty of action and
uniformity in the time of their voy
ages. Now we believe that by discard
/ ing sails entirely and all their neees
