States for the illegal act and the surrender
by the government of Mason and Slidell
are all we'll known matters of history.
Rear Admiral Greer was born in Ohio

has been in the navy ever since. His first
ship was the sloOp Saratoga, and he was
promoted to master midshipman in 1858

NO DOG IN HER HOUSE.
A Boarding House Keeper Tells Why She
Has Made This Rule.


Persons with dogs and other pets
meet with n cold and clammy reception
in New York boarding houses. They
may occasionally steal into fashionable
flats, where the landlord or agent has
no direct means of circumventing them,
but when it comes to the boarding house
things are little more definite.
A nice looking married couple went
into Twenty street boarding
house the other day and were made com
Portable. After the first dinner the lady
was observed scraping together some
dainties from the board to take to her
room. The landlady. who is woman
of great decision of character heard OF
it. and her knock was shortly afterward
heard at the door of the new boarders
The latter were Immediately notified
that either they or the dog must vacate
at once.
IF | cannot keep my darling Keno
phon, We'll move" protested the owner
of the dog, who practiced the principle
of Love me, love my dog.
"Then you'll have to move, " said tho
landlady firmly. I'm not keeping n
dog kennel. "
How in the world they ever got that
dog in here without my seeing 1T, said
she, after the obnoxious XenOphon had
been disposed Of lis more than | can
understand I've had all want of dogs
A gentleman used to keep a small buG
ferocious bulldog in his room where |
once lived. He was the ugliest brute L
ever laid my eyes on-the dog, not the
man. That dog wouldn't let anybody
but his owner tamper with him. The
man used to lug him around with him
everywhere he went One night, when
the man came in, he was feeling SO OBJ
livious to earthly things that he left his
dog locked III the vestibule. The next
boarder who came III got no farther than
the vestibule and landed down the steps
with a square yard of trousers missing
He was soon joined by another boarder
who wanted to come to bed They rang
the bell until several of us came down
to see what was the matter. On opening
the door the dog sprang for us as if he
hadn't been fed for week and wanted
anything that came handy, but we
slammed the door TO again just III time.
As we could not awaken the owner we
had to leave the dog there till morning,
and those who were outside had to go to
hotel In the morning everybody had
to go and come by the servant entrance
until the owner of the animal came
down and got us out of the fix "
What did he say"
Say Why, he abused us all as a set
of brutos for keeping his dog locked up
there and gathered it up under his arm
and took it up stairs as if had been a
piece of Dresden chinal And the board
ers who had been locked out left the
house for good the next day. We got rid
of the dog, but not until it had half de-
populated the establishment. Chi

Business Depression In Berlin.

The Berliner Zeitung enlarges upon
the present condition of starvation in
German industries. Workshops which
usually furnish employment to 90 men
have been obliged to reduce their forces
to two. The depression is felt most Sc
verely i'll the building trades, including
carpenters and caDiuetmakers, but it also
extends to others. The Christmas sales
are reported by the shopkeepers to be
small beyond parallel, only the cheapest
goods finding buyers.

A NAIL IN HER BRAIN.

Kansas Furnishes What Is Said to BE tho
Most Remarkable Case on Record.
For six weeks Mrs. Frank Roadson of
Abilene lived with a sixpenny nail in her
skull. Remarkable as this story may
seem, it is nevertheless true, and Mrs.
ROadson, who is in her fifty-nilth year,
will recover from this terrible ordeal
About eight weeks ago physician was
called to see her, she being apparently
suffering from paralysis or some kindred
trouble. One side seemed deadened, and
no amount of will power on her part
could cause normal action. Electric bat
teries were applied repeatedly, and eff
forts were made to induce the paralyZed
nerves to act once more, but with little
avail, until the physician, thinking per-
haps better results might be attained, or
dered her thick hair cut off.
She objected, but it was done, and on
examination a sore spot was discovered
with the head of nail imbedded there
in upon the very crown of her head. An
operation was performed, and to the
surprise of the physicians present six
penny nail 2 inches long was removed.
1t had penetrated straight into the brain
its full length, and an abscess had
formed upon the brain because of its
presence there. Two days later another
operation was performed. the abscess
was removed, and the patient is getting
along well, apparently about to regain
full control of her muscles.
The most remarkable part of this
strange story was the discovery of the
cause of its being there. AT first she
stoutly denied any knowledge OF 1t being
there, but at last admitted that she had
herself driven the nail into her skull,
pounding it down with stone, for the
express purpose of ending her life. Ply
sicians say this is the most remarkable
case on record.-Topeka Special to st.
Louis Republic.

EXHIBITS HIS HEART.
This Is What the Subject of Peculiar
Surgical Operation Does,


Physicians of this city are receiving
visits from an unfortunate citizen of Buff
falo who has had u peculiar experience.
Recently he called on professor in the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, who
explained to Il reporter yesterday the con-
dition Of his visitor as follows:
1.-The man had disease Of the chest
some time ago and was operated upon by
physician IN Buffalo, who found it nee
essary to remove Il part of the chest on
the left side, exposing the heart. The
wound healed, but the opening remained,
SO that now there is considerable hole
in his chest There is of course some
covering Of skin over the heart, otherwise
the man could not have survived, but the
action of the heart is observable, and one
can put his hand through the opening in
the chest and feel the heart at work"
The professor was unwilling to say
much about the case, which he said was
of special interest only to medical men.
He said it was an extraordinary case
and was worthy of being made the sub
ject of a medical treatise. He under
stood that the man was travelling about
the country exhibiting himself to physi-
clans for small consideration.
He came to me, he added, land |
examined him and gave him a small
sum. He then went away, and | do not
know where he is now"
Another physician said that The hole
was about inches square and that three
ribs had been cut in the operation. He
said also that an opening similar to the
one III the chest existed i'll the mans
back, under the heart.-New York Sun.

SELF PRAIS r.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man will
doubt his word. Now, to say that ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs are the only gen.
uine and reliable porous plasters made is
not self praise in the slightest degree.
They have stood the test for over thirty
years, and in proof of their merits it is only
necessary to cal attention to the cures
they have effected and to the voluntary
testimonials of those who have used them.
Beware of limitations. ASK for ALL
COCKS, and let no solicitation induce you
to accept q substitute.

HE HELD UP THE TRENT.
Rear Admiral Greer's Men Arrested Ma
son and Sliden In 1861.

Rear Admiral Greer, United States
navy, who was recently retired, was a
prominent actor in one Of the most sensa-
tional incidents of the war He was one
of the two lieutenants who, acting under
orders from Captain Charles Walker OF
the United States steamship San Jacinto,
forcibly took Mason and Slidell and their
secretaries from the British mail steamer
Trent Nov. :, 1861. When the Trent was
brought to by a shot across her bows,
Lieutenant Fairfax boarded her in the sec
ond cutter, and Lieutenant James A.
Greer, in command Of the third cuttcr,
was ready to support the second cutter at
moments notice. When Mason and
Slidell refused to leave the Trent, Lieu
tenant Greer's armed crew and marines
boarded the Trent, overpowered the Con
federate commissioners and took them
aboard the San Jacinto. The protest Of
Great Britain, the apology of the United

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh, which in some
respects resembles the former. The individ-
uals suffer severely with pain about the fore.
head eyes and ears, with soreness in throat
and stoppage of the nasal passages, and IN
fact, are incapacitated for work OF any Kind
for days at time. These are catarrhal sui
fercrs. Ely's Cream Balm has been used with
the best results in such cases. The remedy
will give instant relief.
