A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Foiled.


The following graphic statement will be
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
the numb, creepy sensation thateXisted in my
arms, hands and legs. had to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in a measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession Of them. In addition, L had a
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling In my stomach. Physicians said IL
was creeping paralysis from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
relief OEce it fastens upon a person, they
say, 1t continues its insidlOus progress until
IL reaches a gital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect had been dOCtoring
"a year and half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit, when / saw an advei tsement
OF DR. Miles Restorative Nervine, procured

may seem, but Few days had passed before
every bit OF that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
indication Of its return. L now feel as

A Bloody Battle Between Gamblers

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 24,-Town
Marshal Phil % and a posse of officers
raided q notorious gambling den at
Pratt mines at midn, gbt last night.
AS the officers broke open the door tn,
lights in the room went out and the
gamblers opened fire, which was re-
turned by the officers. A regular bal.
tie IN the dark followed, the gamblers
refreshing from he place as rapidly an
possible.
When the confusion was over ant
the lights were turned on again, d
bloody scene was presented.
Henry Sherman, one Of the gamb.
lers, lay dead on the floor, with bull
let in his heart.
Isaac Milten and Sam Sterne, two
other ga nblers, were fatally wounded.
One of the officers, whose name
could not be learned, was seriously
shot.
The remainder OF the gamblers,
twenty-five in number, made their es-
cape. 1t is thought several Of them
were hurt, as drops Of blood were
found in their tracks.

Chinese Undesirable Servants.

We often hear housekeepers in their
hottest moments, just after Diminishing
the insolent servant, uttering interrOga-
tives, as to who and where the next one
was to come from. We venture it will
not be from China if the following can be
relied upon.
AS servants the Chinese are very capa-
BILE in many respects, and very undesira-
BILE in others. They never gossip about
the affairs OF the family that employs
them. They learn whatever it is desired
they should know, acquiring skill with
apparent ease by means of their wonder
full power of imitation. They are per-
fectly willing to do every sort of house
hold work, and the average servant will
act as cook, chambermaid, launderer
and waiter all at once for one salary.
They can not bear to be ordered about
by women. They will take any amount
OF scoulding or fault-fnding from a man,
and none from a woman. In two cases

Some Soft Wood Picture Frames.

Home made picture frames when made
by an artistic person, are not only at
tractive but are also cheap. They may
be made from pine, 80 the originator
says, and we believe Our Florida woods
will make pretty ones. A pine board
left with the saw marks upon its surface
answers nicely. Such surface when
gilded with the gliding that comes in
small bottles or packages presentsa very
attractive appearance. Another may
be cut from single piece OF board, pre-
ferably piece that has distinct grain,
and to secure this, other wood than pine
can be selected if desired. The square
frame may be made in four pieces, the
outer part of the surface being made flat
and smooth, while the inner portion is
concaved or simply beveled. The added
lines at each corner should be only light.
ly cut in the wood. II a handsome wood
is used and left in it's natural state-that
is, unstained-.hese lines may be burn
ed with red-hot point of iron.
Another frame has its corners covered
with thin plates of black iron, or bronze
composition, firmly secured by round
headed bolts, riveted upon the back Or
secured by nuts. An inside molding of
bronze or gold can be used, if desired,
but these are difficult to join at the corn
ers, if one has not a very fine saw and
correct mitre box, or a :nitreing machine,
unless perfectly plain strip of bronze
or gold is used, and if these are used, let
me say, let the best quality be secured,
not the cheap, tawdry stuff that is some
times seen. If only the latter can be
obtained, the frame will look better with
none at all.

for extra occasions it is quite nice. Peel
IL large pineapple and take out all the
eyes; chop the pineapple very fine and
place layer in glass dish; on this
layer place one of sliced oranges, then
one of sliced bananas with powdered
sugar sprinkled between the layers.
These layers are carried up in order,
pineapple, oranges, bananas, pineapple,
etc., until half dozen oranges and as
many bananas are used with one pine
apple. Theiuice of one lemon may be
squeezed over the top and the dish con-
tanning the whole; set away on the ice
for four or five hours before it is served.
The last thing to be added before this
reaches the table, is fresh cocoanut,
freshly grated and piled high on top Of
the salad. This should be in glass
dish or the beauty OF it is lost. It is
delicious as you may we'll imagine, and
is a dish fit for any occasion. For a
company it is dainty and eleR ant.

Everyday Dish Rags.

A contributor to Home and Farm gives
some very valuable hints to us on the
subject of dish rags. She says she man
ages to have nice, clean dish rags during
the long hot summer when it is almost
impossible. She cuts out and hens
several good sized clothes and marks
them one for every day in the week, one
for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.
and uses one for each day. She certainly
must be very systematic little
housekeeper. She says too that she
always makes it point to use the one
that is marked for the day that dawns.
She says she has her washwoman, to
wash, boil and rinse them the same as
she does the napkins. All very good
ideas aren't they?

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT.
FOR ALL THE SUN IS SHINING.

There's @ deal OF Joy in this weary world
II we only knew how to find it;
Laugh when fate's arrows are at you hurrd
And you'll hardly ever mind it,
But II the arrows are poison tipp'd
And your soul grows sick with sorrow,
Say, many a cup of Joy I've sipp'd
And another may come tomorrow.
There's deal OF good in this wicked earth,
II we'd only eyes to find it;
But we constantly pass by modest worth,
In looking for those who show it.
There are ills so deep no mortal can heal
But Others are not past mending;
And the woman who gives to the hungry meal
helping hand is lending.
There's deal OF beauty all 'rouud us spread,
If we're not too blind to see it:
In our struggle for gold or daily bread,
We seem to try to flee it;
The sweet wild iow'r that mods by the way
Makes the gloomy day seem brighter,
And the merry laugh OF q Child at play
The burden of care grows lighter.
Why should we fill up our days on earth
With funeral chants of repining?.
There's melody for lis that's full OF mirth.
And for all bright sun shining;
While the God who rules below and above,
The good and the ill has given
And over US all are the rings OF love
That shelter the angels of heaven.

me tired" One lady in Victoria told me
that she moved from one house to an
other and employed a new servant. He
staid an hour. The next one staid an
afternoon, the next laid one day. Puz-
zled and worried, she persuaded one who
was about to leave her, to tell her why
he was dissatisfied. He took her to the
sink in the kitchen and showed her pc
culiar mark in chalk under the sink. 1t
was notification by one servant to all
the others that the head OF the house was
net kind or honest in his dealings with
his servants. She explained that she had
but just moved into the house, and the
servant took off his street apparel and
remained with her. But he told her that

someone tells us the following bit of

self much mistaken. Dinner begins with
cake, pudding and confectionery and ends
with soup. Lemonade is always hot as
hot can be. If friend sends you let
ter, he often sends only an empty envel-
ope addressed to you, and the bearer
delivers the message orally. But what
seemed to me one OF the oldest of all the
odd customs of the Chinese was the mode
OF resenting an injury. There is very sell
dom real fight. Sometimes they resort
to hair pulling, and they pull with ven
geance; but, as q rule, when one feels
deeply injured in any way. he goes right
out on the street and begins to tell the
story of his wrongs "at the top of his
lungs" shouting all sorts of family Sc

Dor who has wronged him with all the
hard words and hard names he can
think of. have seen women On low, fat
roofs of their houses screaming all sorts
OF horrible things about their husbands,
and men sitting in the streets, with their
backs against the wall shout till they
were dark in the face and too hoarse to
speak, telling everybody about their
cross, obstinate wives. The most curious
part is that no one seems to listen or
care anything about it. and, really, do
not think that the people who are howl
ing care either, whether anyone listens or
not. Out upon country road | once
came upon man who was ventilating
his wrongs in this way, and [ am sure
that. except his own family, there was
not another mortal within sound of his
voice, yet he was rafting on at a great
rate concerning the treatment he re-
ceived from his family.
