A Ring Found at Bull Run.

Although more than thirty years have
elapsed since the first and second battles
of Manassas, interesting articles are
still found by the relic seeker. Only a
few days ago visitors found shells con-
tanning powder, pieces of canteens and
whole bayonets. A young man, Laws
Spencer, living on the old Logan farm,
(Catharpin Postof1ice,) picked up a ring
in the famous Deep Cut. The ring is of
good gold, with a bloodstone scroll intag-
Ito. The motto on it is, Sic itur ad
astra." Around the scroll is w. M. l., y
and at the base pen and sword crossed.
G. Henderson, July 4, 1850" Gen.
Scott Ship, superintendent of Virginia
Military institute, says: 20. G.. Hender-
son was classmate of mine, and was
wounded in the hand at second Manas-
sas." He sends also the register Of v.
NJ. l., and it shows that O. G. Hender-
son was captain of Virginia battery.
The Deep Cut witnessed bloody con-
tests. An officer who was in the engage
ment writes about the fight on August
80, 1862: Before the railroad cut the
fight was most obstinate. l saw a
Federal flag hold it's position for a half
hour within ten yards of flag of one of
the Confederate regiments in the cut,
and go down six or eight times, and after
the fight 100 dead men were lying TWEEN
ty yards from the cut, and some of them
within two feet of it. Some of the men
fought with stones, picked up out of the
cut, long after their ammunition gave
out. Line after line surged up the hill
time after time, led by their officers, bat
were repeatedly dashed back on one an
other until the whole field was covered
with confused mass of struggling, run
ming, routed Federals. "-Washington

SCARLET FEVER Settled IN THE BACK

Eighteen Years.

Eighteen Years.
From the Evening News, Newark, N. j.
About eighteen years ago, when Mrs. An

merry school girl, she was taken i'll with
scarlet fever She recovered, but she was
very different girl from physical stand
point. She was cured of the scarlet fever,
but it left her with an affection of the back.
AS she grew older the pain seemed to in
crease. Her sufferings were intensified by
her household duties, but she never COM

to her back she did her work about her
coy home.

and there the surgeons performed difficult
operation on my back, but it did no good; it

hospital to return for another operation, but

When Lydia E. Pinkham first sent out
the news of her great discovery, there
was no lack of harsh speech from those
whose practice and opinions she set at
defiance.
But when young girls by the hundreds
were absolutely cured by Lydia E. Pink
HAMS Vegetable Compound, then the
tongues of the traducers were stilled, and
faith was allowed to live in the hearts of
the people.
Young girls are subject to this trouble.
It robS them of the buoyancy of youth.
1t makes all effort distasteful.
1t causes retention and suppression of
menses, leucorrhoea, severe headache,
waxy complexion, depression, weakness,
loss of appetite and interest.
Certainly mothers ought to know that
these are all symptoms of the one cause
of nearly all the suffering that comes to
women; and to save their daughters
ought to begin treatment at once.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the surest and most natural
remedy for women ever compounded. 1t
will accomplish its work with certainty.

Glycerine in Unused Traps.

If glycerine is used to fill the traps that
lead to sewers before closing house, it
will be most effectual protection
against bad air and the germs that lurk
in it. Glycerine does not evaporate,
though it draws the moisture in the air
into itself, thus also preventing the ac-
ton of the air on the lead pipes. When
no water has been flowing through the
pipes for some time, it is not we'll to
drink any water that flows through
them until they have been thoroughly
flushed, and sometimes a day at least is
not too long to wait before drinking the
water, though when boiled it may be
used before that time.

Sheep Breeding in Patagonia.

Sheep breeding in Patagonia is prof
liable industry, Notwithstanding the raw
ages of wild animals. Down in Punta
Arenas, a port on the Terra del Fuego
island, a French company owns over
100000 sheep and the manager makes
about 2s6d per head, ''clear of all ex-
penses, from the sale of wool alone
The increase Of the lambs averages
about 80 per cent. of the ewes, and this
fetched additional profit. The lowest av-
erage of wool sheared is said to be seven
pounds per sheep. The drawbacks are
panthers, foxes and wildcats, which do
great damage among the focks. The
ordinary nights work of a panther is
to kill sheep valued at EDS; hence every
a good outfit and 1000 ewes Oh a Pata-
