Giers and Gourko Are Dying, and wahnow
 sky Is Breaking Down.


 sky Is Breaking Down.
 Nicholas de Giers is dying in St. Peters. burg. Joseph Gourko is awaiting his end in Warsaw. Peter Wannowsky recently sought to restore his shattered health on the south shore of the MediteTfA Anean, but he has returned to his Russian home as he left it, broken down man. Each of these three remarkable men has been half century in the service of his coun- try. Each has exercised a mighty infln- tnce on Russian politics since the Berlin congress. Each approaches his grave, his breast covered with decorations sig nifying tfat he has enjoyed to the last the full confidence and even the friend ship of his sovereign.
 It is a trite saying in Berlin that Count von Roon forged the German sword, Moltke sharpened it, and Bismarck drew it from its sheath. In St. Petersburg it might be said with equal truth that Wannowsky forged the Russian sword, Gourko sharpenedit and Giers kept it in it's sheath.
 Wahnowsky has prepared for war, Courko has threatened 1t, and Nicholas de Giers has avertedit. On the contf- nent the statesman without war pelicy is usually condemned to the obscurity or the virtuous woman. NJ. de Giers ef- forts to preserve the peace have been so evident and so successful, however, that the ebbing of his life is watched with the keenest hopes and fears from Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Rome.
 Giers, Gourko and Wannowsky are the last of the celebrated Russians who survived the Bismarckian period of Eu- ropeah politics. They were contempo- raries of Gambetta, MacMahon, Disraeli, Gladstone, MoltlSe, Roon, Bismarck, Benedek and Andrassy, although nons of the three came into his fame until long after the names of those iaen be- came household words throughout Eu- rope. Of the famous statesmen and gen. erals of their day, only Francesca Crispi, the Italian prime minister, is still in of fee. or the soyereigns of great powers, only Queen Victoria and Emperor Franz Joseph still reign.

Recovery of a Man Whose Lfrgs were Ex-
 posed by Wood Saw.
 Gus Carlson, who was accidentally thrown against steam wood saw some four months ago and gash cut across his breastbone and ribs, exposing his lungs and other internal mechanism, has nearly recovered and will soon be able to go out. Thedoctors were much inter- ested in his case, or rather in viewing what was inside the case, as it is very seldom they get S chance to watch the expansion and contraction of q set of lungs.
 The most remarkable thing about it was to see how gradually the lungs were filled and how suddenly they collapsed when the breath expired. The doctors would have liked to leave peephole open in Carlson's thorax, but were afraid he might contract pneumonia through it.--Portland 0regonian.

Telling Trees by Electricity.

Trees are felled by electricity in the great forests of Galicia. For cutting comparatively soft woods the tool is in the form of an auger, which is mounted on q carriage, and is moved to and fro and reYolYed at the same time by small electric motor As the cut deepens, wedges are inserted to prevent the rift from closing, and when the tree is near ly cut through an ax or handsaw is used to finish the work. In this way trees are felled very rapidly and with but little labor. London Tit-Bits.

GOOD LOOKS SAVED HER.

A Young Woman With BeautIful Hair Had
 Peculiar Way of Stealing.
 A young lady employed by gold and silver smith in New York has only her good looks to thank for the fact that she was allowed to resign without being prosecuted for theft. She has an extraor- dinaTily fine head of hair, which she al- lows to hang loosely over her shoulders and nearly down 10 her waist From tame to time it was noticed that the gold used in the room in which she worked did not go as far as 1t ought in making jewelry and gem settings, and that even allowing for the filings, which arc in0at carefully preserved, there was 0 distinct leakage, Steps were taken to subject the employees to more rigid search, but DO discovery was made until the young lady with the long hair quar- reled with ner roommate over love af- fair, and in fit Of jealousy her rival gave away the most interesting story.
 The young lady had kept her hair well greased, and then while at work would frequently pass her fingers through 1t casually, as though it were & matter of habit By the process sie accumulated a good deal of gold dust in her hair and sometimes dropped some diamond chips as well. Every night she combed out her locks with the smallest of tooth combs carefully collected tie peculiarly purloined treasure troye and sold it with ont ahy difficulty. She broke down com pletely when taxed with the offense, made restitution us far as she was able, and her tears and promises were so pro- fuse that she was then allowed to depart in peace, although her employers some what inconsistently took measures to prevent her obtaining further employ ment iu the business in which sLe was an expert.-New York Cor.

Georgia and the Boys in Blue.
from The MINNEAPOLIS Tribune.

That was a graceful act on the part of
the city council OF Atlanta, Ga, in sending
an invitation to the Grand Army of the
Republic to make Atlanta the place of the
annual grand encampment of 1895. 1t should
be, and doubtless will be, received by the
Grand Army of the Republic in the same
fraternal spirit with which it was rendered.
1t will be exactly thirty years next May
since the Second Minnesota entered upon
the Atlanta campaign by routing the enc
my at Tunnel Hill, eighty miles to the north,
followed by the evacuation of Dalton on
the 18th and Resaca on the 18th. 1t will
be thirty years on the 2d~f next June when
the Second Minnesota was ordered to the
front to enter upon continuous siege and
succession of maneuvers and assaults, which
did not end until the batter of JOneSboro
on September LIST and the evacuation of
Atlanta the next morning Minnesota veter-
ans, who served under the gallant Thomas
at Atlanta, could not think, we doubt not,
of a more desirable spot for the annual en-
campment than the scene of the memorable
campment should come to Minnesota. It
st. Paul desires the encampment, as lnti-
mated in recent committee circular, Min
nesota Will stand by ST. Paul. Next to st.
Paul, Minnesota will elect the spot conse-
Grated by the siege Of Atlanta.

1t VIII Cure Hiccouahs.

Atlanta, Ga, February 14.-Editor Con-
stitution: On reading in The Sunday Con-
sttutlon of the case og John Carberry, of
New York, who is suffering from an acute
attack of hiccoughs, l was reminded of a
Simple remedy IOf this very distressing
complaint, which L learned OF some ten or
twelve years ago. AT that time / was fore
man in the w eStern Electric Company's
shops i'll New York. one day | had a Sc
we're attack of hiccouShs and one OF my
men, alls old EnGlshmdu, told me he could
relieve me in one minute. He did so and
others on several occasions since then and
always with success. 1t might be termed
an electric cure, and is operated as fol-
lows:
Let the person afflicted hold out his or
her hands just in front, the palms of the
hands upward the ends of the fingers turn
ed slightly UP. Now let another person of
the opposite sex hold his or her hands over
the other ones, palms downward then low
er the hands TIL the tips of the fingers
OF each person lightly touches the wrist of
the other This completS the circuit. In a
few seconds Il prickIng sensation will be
felt by each person like a slight shock
from Il galranic battery, and the hiccoughs
will stop. 1t may not be successful in eV-
cry case but l have never seen it fail
Should you think this deserving of a space
in you valuable paper, it might be the
means of relieving some of this truly dis

DIR. HARTMAN ON CATARRH.
The FaIlacy Of Cntarrh Cures LA

The serious mistake which so many pep
ME make in the treatment of calarrh IL.
that chronic catarrh is regarded as a lecei
disease and not systemic disease. IL lne
patient has catarrh of the nose OF tnroat'
sprays and gargles are used; II the catailh
is in the larynx or bronchial tubes, lnhai-
ents are used; if the catarrh is in the stolii-
ach, medicine is swallowed, II the catafrh
is in the bladder or urethra, injections are
resorted to; hoping in each case to cure the
disease by applying the medicine to the eA-
act spot where the disease is located
While it is a fact that sprays, limitations
ear"les and injections are often heip1ul IN
the treatment of a case of catarrh, they CAN
never accomplish cure. Catarrh is DIS

persistent use of Pe-ru-na according to the
directions on the bottle will remove the ca
tarrhal faint from the system, after which
the diseased part, wherever located, will
soon recover. That this IS the correct the
cry of tibet reatment of catarrh is amply
proven by the multitude of testimonials that
are constantly pouring in from all parts Of
the country
1t is needless to attempt to give only the
YagCest outline of the wonderful success
wren Pe-ru-na has met with in the cure Of
catarrh This success is entirely due to the
tact that Pe-ru-na eradcates the disease
from the system, instead of temporarily
renewing some disagreeable symptom Not
only IS catarrh IN all stages and varieties
cured promptly, but also colds, coughs,

many OF the cOlored men of the south are
solving the problem for themselves. Among
the latter is Augustus Garter, who was
freed by the civil war and now lives near
Isabella. Like many OF the ante-beI um
slaves, he has developed the thrift and
energy OF his white neighborS, and made
useful and trustworthy citizen. lie has
raised a family OF over twenty children and
is, while now in his SiXty-fourth year, hale
and hearty and seems good for several
years more.
Five years ago he settled in the piney
woods at his present home, and despite his
age has paid for his place, has two good
mules and a years supply ahead and is
building Il handsome new residence. A
singular fact in connection with his family
is that his mother died at the age of eighty
years with a full set of new teeth in her
head that she had cut few years previ-
ously. and his little siX-year-o!d Srandchild
recently had two complete rows of front
teeth in her lower jaw, enc row of which
was extracted by an Albany dentist last
week.

ATLANTA AND ST, PAUL.

st. Paul. Mimi, February Z, 1S94.-CIark
Howell, Editor Constitution. Dear Sir: Your
telegram asking an expression concerning
the meeting of the Grand Army of the Re-
public in Atlanta came while / was out of
the city. [ can assure you that (speakng
both for The Globe and myself personality
nothing would give US greater pleasure than
to see the Grand Army select Atlanta as it's
place Of meeting in 1895, provided it does
not come to st. Paul. St. Paul is an ac-
tive and aggressive applicant to secure that
notable gathering, and, most naturally, we
most earnestly desire to obtain it for our
own locality.
While other candidates are in the field, I
think the real contest lies between st. Paul
and Atlanta owing to their respective geo
graphical localities. 1t is friendly rivalry
between a northern and a southern city
and the kindhest Of feelings are entertain
ed here towards Atlanta. Ihe decision WILL
Undoubtedly, very largely rest upon the
question OF going south or coming north,
and, whatever the result. it will be no re-
Election upon the hospitality or hberallty
OF either Of the COnteStlnS points. We
hope to obtain it for st. Paul, and shall
do our best; but Speaking for The Globe
and mySelD il we cannot secure it here,
l can say We would most surely favor
Atlanta.
Atlanta has 80 many of the characteristics
OF ST. Paul that much admire it. l can
best emphasize my view by stating that
when health considera tons required, a por-
ton of my family, spent two winters in
that city, the stay being so delightful that,
In one instance, it was prolonged for nearly
a year, residence on your famous Peach
tree street being 50 charming that they
We're loath to leave. During my only brief
visits, / was greatly impressed with the
enterprise of your citizens, well as with
the fact that your railroad lines make
Atlanta q great distributing center. l per-
sonally know the hospitality of your peo-
pie and If you succeed in the friendly con-
test with st. Paul, will extend you congrat-
ulations as hearty as though | We're in "A
position to be an original Atlanta supporter.
