AS MANY LIVES AS A CAT.
An OctOGenarian Who Has Figured
In a Long List of Accidents.

Eleazer Chase is now over eighty years or
age. He is q man most highly respected Dy
all who know him. His has been a life of
accidents. Some of his experiences in that
line, given to the Wilmington Oel) News,
are as follows:
II was sliding on the crust when boy
and slid over a fence, running stake into
me and making a bad wound. Once. when
my mother was making soap, saw dip
per of what l thought was water and drank
three swallows. 1t proved to be strong lye.
My mother melted some tallow and gave il
TO me, and the doctors said that was all
that saved my life. -Four times / came near
getting drowned, twice breaking through the
ice into the river, once falling from u raft
into the mill pond, and once fell out Of q
boat into a river. l was nearly killed twice
by being thrown from horses, fell from d
loaded team to the frozen ground and was
picked up for dead, and fell out of a wagon
and had leg caught between the smokes
of one of the wheels. Once l was driving a
covered wagon when the stanchion bolt
came out, letting the body down. The rein
hook caught me in the forehead, tearing a
great cash, and when 1 fell out struck my
head on the axle. Twice / fell twelve feet
from staging, once fell down O trap in
carriage house on pile of boards below and
started n rib. / stepped on scythe and eut
my foot badly. and Il cake of ice fell on my
foot and burst open one Of my toes, cut my
ankle very badly with an axe. broke

l was badly hurt once with n circular s,w

eighteen-inch belt when 1t was running and
on top of a four-foot gear when that was
running: twice have fallen down stairs in

badly, the second time starting rec of INV

Fowls in summer.

As the weather begins TO get warmer
the lice will appear. To rid the hens of
them is but little trouble, for the hens
perform the work themselves with the
dnst-bath: but unless the houses are
kept free Of the lice it il useless to at
tempt to give the fowls comfort, as the
yermin operate both day and night
Young chickens are often doctored when
they begin to droop, simply because the
breeder is not aware that lice are at
work. But the question is how to eff
tectually drive them away. Persian in
sect powder will do it wherever it is
applied, but unless all portions of the
IoWl house are busted with it, in order

Ioal OIL enectually prevents their depre-
dations, but this substance is NOT n safa
one to Use, for in the course of time the
wood becomes saturated, and the drop-
ping of a match or contact of candle
may cause 4 confagration. A solution
of some kind should be used-something
that can be poured into the cracks and
creyices-and the best substance for
such purposes is carbolic acid. A table
spoonful of crude carbOlic acid in

Extra Session of Congress Called
for August 7th1 1898.

President Cleveland has issued a call for ar
extra session of Congress. to convene at IL
o'clock moon, Monday, August 9TH, 1893. &c
take into consideration the finances of the coun-
try, and to enact such legislation as the times
seem to demand.
This, from the concensus of opinion from
CoDgressmen and their constituents of pretty
nearly every class, means that the Sherman law
is to be repealed, and stop put to the issuing
of over 81 100000 of silver certificates every
month, thereby arresting the distrust engender-
ed in financial and commercial circles arising
from the present status of affairs.
The act of the President meets with the COM
mendation and approval of the solid men ol
the country.
s. Whatever legislation is needed it is apparent
that the Sherman law is not safe enactment to
be longer allowed a place in the Federal stat
utes. 1t has created widespread distrust, and
given rise to an apprehension among certain
classes. that the paper currency of the country
may yet come to a discount. Whether the fea1
be well grounded or not, it exerts disastrous
influence, ruinous to the country at large. The
action of the British Government in abolishing
the free coinage of silver in India, undoubtedly
had much to do with strengthening the demand
for Congressional relief in the strained situation
and already the effects of President Cleveland's
action are seen in returning confidence. and
activity in stocks and monies, that make the
prospects brighter each day.
The President performed plain duty, fol
which he is entitled to, and is receiving the
thanks of all classes of thinking people.

ANOTHER example af Republican consistency

I Whether this law of the Palmetto State be
good or bad, wise or unwise, how does it be-
come the Republican Buckeye press to select
the enactment in subject for text in which to
preach against an unholy union between the
State and the liquor traffic. Have they forgot

overlooked the fact that they have been and are

lay in the revenue it would yield to the State.
Incidental to this they praise it for the effect it
has in regulating the traffic.
These two points have been harped upon so
much by Republican papers, that any further
reminder Is useless. But 10 and beholdl A
Southern State adopts a measure that will GER
tainly result in a much more effectual control
and limitation of the traffic. and one that at the

The point is, is it any better to license an evil
