FALL FESTIVITIES.

st. Louis Extends Cordial Welcome to II
 The city of St. Louis has become famous the country over through the agency of her annual Fall Festivities, and from that source has gained the sobriquet of the Carnival City of America.
 For the season of 1892 all previous efforts in the line of entertainment will be eclipsed. The great St. Louis Exposition will throw it's doors open to tfe public Wednesday, September 7th. and will continue to entertain and delight thousands during the period extending over forty days. One of the chief attractions announced by the Management is the engagement of Col. r. S. Gilmore and his world renowned band, one hundred strong. The illumination by gas and electricity will extend over larger area and be on a grander scale than any sim liar exhibition ever attempted in the world. The thirty-second great St. Louis Fair and Geological Gardens, Oct 3rd to Sth, whose fame has been heralded broadcast, will be one of the main attractions of that week, and as b,.s been customary for the last thirteen years the Yelled Prophet will again appear in his favorite city, on the even ing of Tuesday. October 4tl. The ho- tel accommodations of St. Louis have been materially increased since last ye.r and strangers are assured of hos pitable treatment.
 The Missouri Pacific Railway and Iron Mountain Route, with their vast network of lines extending over the States or Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Indian Territory, Arkansas the West, South and Southwest, in order to encourage travel, have made emarkably low round trip rate from points on their lines to St. Louis and return during the Festivities.

The Modem Juiiet.s Bed.

From the London Standard.
 Next to chairs and tables, beds are about the the most important articles of domestic furniture. The European type of bed seems to have got itself fixed at d comparatively early date, and did not change till very late. The theory. apparently, was to make the bed sort of tent or fertilization against the winds of heaven. The medieval upholsterer knew something about the mediayal builder realized that when you want to sleep in room with no paper on the walls. and huge windows which cid not quite fit their frames. or little naIrow-siits with no glass at all, you wanted something to keep out the draught. Hence the tremendous timber canopy of old Dedsteads, and the yolUminou5 curtains and haBgings in which the whole structure WAS en- veloped. Long after there was any necessity for this tent like arrange ment it was kept mp just for the honor aud glory of the thing, sn as to speak because there was all air of luxury and costliness about these folds and lengths of silk or chiHtz which made the people reluctant to part with them. Even now in France and other parts of the Continent they will not willing y give up their elabordtely upholstered bedsteads fer the h .rsh looking struct- ure of iron bars and brass tubes which is gradually usurping the place Of honor in the bedrooms of AEglo-Sax- oDdom.
 It must be admitted that if the mod ern British bedstead is. ou the whole cleaner and possibly healthier. 1t is certainly less romantic. One hardly likes to fancy Juliet's bed provided with round brass knobs at the corners for it's sole adornment. At any rate the old-fashioned type of of hedstead lent itself very well to ornate artistic treatment, and nothing can be more magnificent than the bedstead designed for Marie Antoinette and other french ladies in the great age of furniture during tue latter half of the last centu- ". But that was a period when the sim plest objects of household use were trea- ted by master hands and it makes an amateurs mouth water to look at the pictures in MT. Litchfield's book of Boule cabinets. Risener bureaus, Gou- tbiere writing tables and Chippendale chairs which the workeshops of that happy period turned out. It is a. assdoubly melancholy reflection for tue collector of these days that in the earlier DOT tion of the present century these de- lightful objects could be purchased almost for song. The sol endor of the great decorative period brought with it d reaction. The taste for rococo and Louis QuiEce" and Louis Seize died out so completely that 40 years ago you could buy marqueterie tables and tortoise shell and ormolu cabinets by the best makers for soyereigns for which you would now have to give hundreds of pounds. But that was in the days before the great revival-be- fore everybody had become artistic and oaofbafto

The Blood In . Man's Body Makes the Ful
 Eouad Trip.

The Blood In . Man's Body Makes the Full
 Eouad Trip.
 Medical workers have made many curious experiments, but none more wonderful than that by which they ascertained the exact time required for the blood to make one entire trip through the system, which all students of physiology know means complete circulation through the lungs, veins, arteries and the general capillary ar engagements. Professors Dalton. Her ing, Poissonville, Mattucci and Blake have been the chef investigators in this line, the first named having be. come more eminent in this particular branch of research from having the ex- perience of others to fortify himself with.
 All the old school anatomists believed that considerable time elapsed, say from three to nine minutes, from the time when the blood left the right side of the heart, traversed the whole sys tem and then again returned to the starting point. Dalton has shown that the time IS much shorter than was for merly generally supposed. The chief agent used in his experiments was salt known to chemists as ferrocyanide of potassium, which can be readily de- tected in the blood on account of it's chemical reactions.
 Prof. Dalton describes the operation in the following manner: Blood was drawn from the jugular vein of tue op- pOsite side, and the interval which elapsed before the appearance of the foreign salt in the blood drawn from the second opening indicated the time required for the blood to pass from the point of injection through the vena cava to the heart, from the right side of the heart through the lungs to the left cavi- ties, from the left ventricle through the carotid artery and the capillary vessels of the head, and thence downward to the jugular vein on the opposite side. Dozens of carefully tabulated tests of this somewhat extraordinary subject shows that the blood of man makes complete circulation once every fifteen to twenty five seconds. according to the physical conditions of the subject ex- perimented upon.,'

The Sun Cholera Mixture.
Atlanta Constltutlon

Atlanta Constitution.
 The veteran editor of the New York Journal of Commerce pays editorial tribute to the medical prescription which has come to be known as the Sun Cholera Mixture. and the Constitution desires to join it's esteemed eoBtempo- xry in making the remedy known.
 MT. Stone says that the remedy was given to the public by the Sun more than twenty years ago, but this IS a slip of the pen or of the types. 1t was given the public more than fcrty years ago, and since that time 1t has done world of good, not only in ctiol- era epidemics. but in all Arrangements that possess the cholera symptoms in cases of morbus and in dangerous attacks of diarrhea.
 The prescription was drawn up by a number of eminent physicians of New York and published in the Suns edito- rial columss. This fact has given the remedy the name of the Suns cholera mixture. The editor of the Journal of Commerce has 1t in constant use for nearly two score of years, and found it to be the best remedy for bowel troubles ever yet devised. To this he adds: No one who has this by him, and takes it in time, will ever have the cholera"
 The writer of this has seen this rem edy employed for more than twenty years and it has never failed in any case of bowel trouble when taken promptly. He has seen it give almost instant relief in the disease (almost as violent as genuine ch0lera) which en- sues when the deviled crab and the milk punch meet in the bosom of the careless epicure. It is remedy that ought to be in every household, wheth- er there is danger from cholera or not. This is the prescriptions:
 Take equal parts of tincture Of cayenne pepper, tincture of opium. tincture of rhubarb, essence of pepper mint and spirits of camphor. Mix well. Dose, fifteen to thirty drops in a little cold water, according to age and violence of symptoms, repeated every fifteen or twenty minutes until relief is obtained.
 It will do no harm if an equal part of fine brandy is added to the rest. In violent cases of cholera morbus or gen tune cholera, it is best to prepare two doses, so that if the first is thrown off the stomach the second can be given immediately. There need be no fear of collapse when this medicine is given promptly.

It will be a matter of qualification to the friends of Col. Iverson A. Jones to know that at the congressional conyen- tion, last Thursday, he received the votes of Van Buren and Boone coun- ties; remained ahead of Peel for sev eral ballots, and had four more votes when withdrawn than when he went into the convention. His numerous friends in Boone and Carroll counties who voted for others because "he had no show" should realize that they made serious mistake. Had he been disposed to join COTS piracy to thwart the expressed will of the people he could easily have been noUinatcd. But he isn't that sort of a democrat. Harrison Times.

The Poisonous Oleander.

Few people know how DO isonous the oleanderis. Children have been known to die from sucking its flowers; whole family has been poisoned by using meat skewers made of oleander wood; an infusion of it's leaves is sure death to all forms of insect life, and its bark powdered and administered in flour is certainly fatal to rats and mice. In Bermuda, where the oleander grows as hedge plant, the farmers say that it poisons the grass beneath its foliage and that animals will die from eating herbage growing beneath its branches. While it is possible that this may be mistake and that animals die from eat ing the oleander leaves which have fallen among the grass, it is certain that the plant itself is so noxious that it ought to be banished from every house.

The word quarantine" from the French quarantaine or the Italian quarantine, strictly means forty days, for which period in the middle ages all intercourse with the shore was prohib- ited to vessels arriving from infected or suspected ports. History relates that quarantine regulations for mari time intercourse were first established by the Venetians in the year ll27 of the Christian era, but the practice must have been greatly older on land from tiers. The ancient Jews had species of quarantine against leprosy.

Many people think that cholera is a contagious disease; yet we have the authority for stating that no case of it was ever transmitted by contact; it comes and goes in the air; influenced by climatic conditions, and nothing so much hastens it development as dirt, impure food. impure water.
