was crazy, but when brought back by
friends it was found that he was per-
fectly sane, but frightened at the APP
pearance of the train, as this was the
first time re he'd ever seen locomotive.
He was II years old. and had lived
for the last thirteen years

His name is Martin McCandless. In
1851 he emigrated from an interior town
in Missouri, journey edin caravan Of
twenty-one OK teams across the plains
through Utah and into the mining dis
trictS of California, theuce into Nevada
a few years later, and eventually to his
recent home in Idaho. He proved to be

The old man was finally persuaded to
take seat on the train, and passed
through here, bound for the Keystone

CHRONIC AND ACUTE CATAkRA.
Selection From Lecture by DR..
s. B. Hartman Delivered at
the Surgical Hotel, Col
umbus, Ohio.
Reported for the Press.

The first stage of catarrh of the nose
and head QrOntal SinuStS) produces dis
charge from the nHSe. sneeZlng, pain in
the eyes and forehead weak. sometimes
watery eyes, and occasionally loss of
memory. 1t the catarrh is principally
in the throat it produces raw feeling,
making swallowing painful, and The
tOnSilS become intlamed at the slightest
touch. The mucous membrane of the
throat is thickened, red. and frequently
liberated. Hawking with difficulty,
stringy mucous out of the throat, gag
giDg and splitting. are symptoms more
Or.leSS constant, according TO the sever
ity Of the case.
In the last stage the thickened and
swollen membrane become thin and
shiny and the Sputa thick, and Of very
offensive odOr. AS SoOn as this dread
full disease reaches the larynX hoarse-
ness and weakness OF voice manifest
themselves. Unless something is done
to prevent, the catarrh will follow the
mucous membrane into the lungs,
where it will be followed by cough,
night-sWeats, rapid loss of flesh, and the
other dread symptoms of consumption,
or the catarrh may pass through the
nSOphaguS u the stomach, and pro-
duce dyspepsia, with all its attendant
horrors. In my extensive practice of
medicine [ have treated vast number
of cases of catarrh in all stages of its
progress from its first appearance as
common cold to the last stage of con-
sumption.
Pe-ru-na is applicable TO caIarrh of
any mucous surface of the body aud in
all stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack, or cold, to the most chronic and
pronounced case of the hypertrophic
form, Pe-ru-na is a specific. Its opera
ton is, primarily, on the mucous sur
faces, by giving to each capillary vessel
its normal elasticity, thus reaching the
cauSe. Whenever the catarrh is located
where it Is convenient to make local ap-
plications they undoubtedly assist Pc
ru-na in completing cure, but this is
not always the case. and Pe-ru-na can
be relied on to perfect cure without
any local treatment whatever. Catarrh
of the kidneys. bladder, uterus, larynX,
bronchial tubes, lungs and frontal
SinuSeS, are all beyond the reach OF
effective local treatment, and internal
treatment is the only hope. Pe-ru-na IS
equal to the task, it cures catarrh wher-
ever located by removing the cause.

UNREST.

Sleep cometh not, sleep cometh not 10 me:
Thro' all the long and lonely hours of night
My lstless limbs lie YEARLY and STILL
Weary and still-but wild thoughts give no
rest
Nor wild desires. nor hopes / cannot kill.
NV aching heart beats sore within my breast,
And, like a love-bird flying TO its nest,
My restless spirit. longing for Thy sight,
In the long, lonely hours OF the night
Wanders across the woodland waste to thee.
Then, my sweet if thou art slumbering,
Dream for a moment am near 10 thee.
Or, if thou dreamest not remembering
That am thine, awake and think of me-
Yet if thou love me, love, | would not wish
That thou shouldst feel the anguish that
know
The fancies strange, the fevered tretfulness,
The great unrest. the storm that laws me low
Thou hast loves happiness: and would fain
Protect thee from the shadow of loves pain.

BUFFALO TO COMFY ISLAND.

A Tramp Is Locked for Five Days
in Box Car Without Food or
Water.
New York Sun.
Conductor James O'Neill, of the Gull
vers Coney Island railroad, this even
ing had his attention attracted by q
peculiar noise on the inside of box
ar, which was loaded with lumber,
consigned to A. d. Buschman, hotel
keeper at Coney Island.
When the train stopped the noise in
the box car increased. and the trainmen
were startled by groans proceeding
from the car. When the car was un.
locked colOred man was found lying
on the lumber in a Semi-consci0uS con-
ditiOn. lie was taken out of the car
and removed to a place where he re-
ViVed somewhat on receiving Stimu-
lantS.
When the man finally recovered suffi-
GENTLY to be able to speak, he said his
name was Henry Johnson, and that he
was twenty-five years Of age, and a ma
tive of Troy. He had been locked in
the car for five days and nights, he COLI
tinued, during which time he had had
nothing to eat or drink. On Monday
last he had crawled into the ear at Buff
falo. and the door was locked before he
realized it.
After the train started toward New
York johnson had hopes that the car
door would be opened, when he would
have a chance to escape. Twelve hours
passed and, although the train stopped
a mum ser Of times. the ear door was not
opened. After Johnson had spent
hungry and numb from the cold. The
train had travelled over 200 miles when
johnson pounded and kicked on the
door, but no one apparently heard him.
AT certain points on the road the
train was sldetracked and stood still for
time, which seemed like hours to
johnson. While imprisoned in dark
ness he could hear the whistles of loco
motives sounding and bells ringing, but
did not hear human voices. He slept
considerable of the time, and when he
awoke he was usually weaker.
He suffered greatly from hunger and
thirst, and yesterday and today he had
become IN such an exhausted condition
that he had given up all hopes of es-
Gaping from the car alive. This after
noon, when the car was finally switched
Oh the side tack to COney Island, John
son made the final effort to attract the
attention of some one by pounding on
the side of the car. He was oyerjoyed
when he heard the voices of Conductor
O'Neill and the other trainme as they
proceeded to unlock the car.
1t is probable that johnson would
have persisted had he not succeeded in
attracting the attention of the trainmen,
as it was not the intention to open the
car until Monday or Tuesday.

Too Much.

He had trundled welghty triplets when his
wife was wrapped in Slumber;
He had got up every morning and had bull
the kitchen fire;
He had pounded on her carpets and had
sawed up cords Of lumber.
And had stretched with endless patience sew
eral miles of stiff clothes wire.
He had sworn off on his smoking just to help
her on her Missions
And had matched whole coils of ribbon with
no thought of the disgrace;
He had eaten several samples of her cooking
exhibitions.
With moaning in his stomach and smile
upon his face.
He had worn the shirts she made him, and
his courage ne'er forsook him;
He had stood the socks she darned him,
though the agony was keen;
He had worn her colored neckues though
his dearest friends all shook him,
And the clothes that she selected he displayed
with humble mien.
Butw one night she showed him some
pajamas she had made him.
And Informed him she expected that in
them he would abide;
He quaied before this torture, and the
thought OF it dismayed him,
And he gave one look remorseful, and he
laid right down and died.

In Il Day.

Only a few people can afford 10 put
off the duty OF the present hour and
they are geniuses who can do two days
in one.
Sir Edward Landseer was once en-
gagged to paint picture representing
lady and two spaniels. Although he
was paid on the spot, the picture was
delayed for two years. AT the end of
that time an unsatisfactory sketch was
allowed TO be engraved, but the result
proved to be so poor that Landseer be-
came immovable in his determination
not TO finish the picture at all.
AT length, however. he agreed to
send 10 certain exhibition of paint
ings new picture which the owner of
the Lady and Spaniels" might accept
IN the place of that unfinished piece of
work.
The time arrived for sending in the
pictures and the keeper of the institu-
tion received from Landseer only an
empty frame, with promise that the
canvas for it should be delivered in
good time.
The hanging committee finished its
labors and the empty frame was hung
| on the line. Vanishing day came, but
with it no picture. A friend of the
| artist FASTENED to London to see him
| and at II o'clock found him busy in his
studio. Landseer pointed TO the I'M
finished canvas on his easel.
Il shall send that to the exhibition
tonight, finished picture" he said.
Il have given orders not to be dis
tur bed. for it depends on that whether
l can complete the task have set my

Next morning. when the friend ar
rived at the gallery. there hung the
promised picture two of the dogs
which bad been >krlcned for The Lady
and the SpaneiS" now placed on table
| with a cavaliers hat.
1t was fine piece of work and was
thankfully accepted by the gentleman
who had given the first commission
and who professed himself as only too
glad TO receive picture painted in a
day in place of the one that had been
SO many years on the road. YOUTHS
