To Cure Grip.

When grip threatens, feet and throat
are the vulnerable points that need most
careful protection, with high buttoned
arctics and a broad silk muffler. A nour-
ishing and strengthening potion to be
taken by those who are convalescing from
the grip and find no tonic quite to their
taste is drink of cream and milk. I'm
der certain conditions and for weak diges-
lions cream is ordinarily too heavy when
thick and pure, but to bring L y pints of
milk almost to the boiling point, then re-
move it from the fire and hastily stir in a
fourth of pint of rich, sweet cream,
forms a drink not only very palatable, but
easily digestible and almost as efficacious
as cod liver oil. 1t should be. taken with
little bread and at least three times
day to prove its benefit to system that is
slowly undergoing the process of readjust-
ment.-Exchange

A dispatch from Tacoma, Wash,
says that five prophets have appeared in
that city who declare that the world is
coming co an end in 1897. They have
issued a warning to the people to be-
ware of false Christ, who will arrive
about that time. They are the Rev. Mr..
Jefferis, the Rev. Mr.. Price, Fl. G. Leu
tiers, Henry Baker and Mrs Cliff, all
evangelists. They declare that nine
tenths of the human race will perish
miserably by war, plague, famine, pes
thence, earthquake and hail during the
next five years. Christ will come with
his bride, and satan will be sealed up
in bottle for 1000 years. Heaven will
hang in midair all that time They
have seen hell, and it is 6, 900 miles
across and long enough to hold all sim
ners. One of the gentlemen, Mr.. Jefferis,
was formerly rector of a prominent
Episcopal church in Philadelphia, and
those who knew him in that city will
believe that the dispatch is mistaken so
far as he is concerned York Cor

y Portland young lady received
few days ago a letter from a friend
who appealed for aid in finding some
thing to restore the blackness of her
HAIR The friend had suffered almost
unendurably from neuralgia in the
head. and had tried many vaunted
remedies. Finally she was advised
to have her hair shaved or cut ex-
tremely close. and adopted this des-
perate measure The result of the
experiment has been that with it's
renewed growth the hair is appearing
perfectly white, though it had been
previously very dark, and the wearer
is terribly chagrined at the unex-
pected change. The effect upon the
neuralgia was favorable.

Cure For q Cold.

New York newspaper has secured the
service of prominent physician to pre-
scribe daily for the suffering public.
Here's his sure oure'' for cold in the
head: 1.-The cold is the result of an extra
pressure of blood in the head, which OBJ
structs the general circulation. The nos
trils are distended, the mucous membrane
is swollen, and the back part of the throat
becomes 'cuppy' and dry. Nothing Is
better than hot footbath and hot drink,
followed by dover's powder. All of this
is to stimulate perspiration. Then one
grain of quinine, with one-quarter of
grain of red pepper, should be taken every
two hours for "a hours. By that time your
cold will have disappeared. AS the
above prescription is written by one of the
best known nose, throat and ear specialists
of the country, it should be about as good
as the other sort which sometimes comes
high.

Imprisoned BY Dumb Waiter.

From Dexter, Maine, comes the re-
port of the painful experience of Mrs.
William Wagg recently. She had &C.
casion to go to the dumb waiter which
lowers into the cellar by means of a
rope running over pulley. As she
had her arms between the shelves
the rope suddenly gave away and she
was caught by both arms coming in
contact with the casing on one side
and the shelf on the other. The
waiter being heavy, she was obliged
to remain in this painful situation
fully twenty minutes until her cries
for help attracted the attention OF
some one passing by.

AIi11ionth of a Second Photographs,

Professor G. V. Boys says that to take
photographs of bullet as it is being
projected through the air at maximum
possible speed it is necessary to have re-
course to a method of illumination in
fnitely more rapid than given by an
electric spark. For this purpose a steel
mirror, so mounted as to reYolYe at the
enormous speed of 900 times per Sec
ond, is used. This mirror is not larger
than a silver % cent piece, and the
beams of light given off from it pass
across the screen at such an unthinkable
rate of speed that it enables the photog-
raphers to take pictures of the bullet
on exposures Of only one millionth of
second.

Employed by the Old Man to Send His
Daughters Beau Home.
A young man stood in the portico
of an apartment house in Washington
park, Brooklyn. the other evening,
and on the step above him stood
pretty girl, says the New York SUM-
It was late and the street was de-
serted Despite the darkness it was
apparent to the occasional passer-by
that the young man had the daintily
gloVed right hand of the young woman
within his own. while his left hand
rested over it like a cover to keep it
guarded. The young man was ap-
parently trying to say good night and
the young woman evidently could not
hear him, for she was bending her
head close to his. They stood in that
attitude for nearly fifteen minutes and
might have been discovered in the
same pose by the gray dawn of
the morning had not something inter
vened. That something was round
and bright and it came out of a
sixth story window. It descended
slowly, the moonlight shimmering
on its silvery surface and making it
conspicuous. Soon it could be seen
that it was on a string and was being
lowered by an elderly man. When it
dangled over the portico there was
sudden ur-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-ring and the
young man and young woman parted
like an Overstrained hawser. The
young man seized the round and
bright object, which was still ringing,
and held its face to the electric light.
The hands on the alarm clock were
clasped at midnight. He raised his
hat to the young woman, murmured
two words in a low tone and disap-
peared. The alarm clock was hoisted
up. but the young woman was up
stairs before it finally reached the
| open window

IN AN UNWONTED ROLE.
Untoward Res ults of Substituting Bull
for a Horse in ssMazeppa."

Untoward Res ults of Substituting q Bull
for Horse in ssIIazeppa."
Jim Larkin was a noted character
of Cheyenne in the '7Os. Larkin was
one of those harmless, officious fellows
and had his nose into every thing.
There was never a dog fight but in
some way he got bitten; never a fire
but he got burned, and never an &C
cident but he was there in time to
get hurt. Larkin was some thing of
Snowman. During his residence
in Cheyenne a co1ored tragedian
filed an engagement in the city,
playing Hamlet and "Othello."
Larkin saw in the colored man
great opportunity to make money and
induced him to play 'Mazeppa,"
using a wild bull instead of a wild
horse. The tragedian fell into the
idea and rehearsals for the great
event were had. The performance
was given in a large hall, which was
crowded to the doors. The play went
off lovely until it was time for the
wild bull of Tartary to be brought on
and then there was slight hitch.
The bull had suddenly become re-
luctant about going on the stage.
Manager Larkin got behind him and
gave the animals tail a twist. 1t had
the desired effect. The bull rushed
upon the stage and tore out every
foot of scenery and then jumped off
into the orchestra, landing on top of
the slide trombone player. The audi
ence stampeded and jumped through
the windows and doors. and in very
few minutes the bull had everything
to himself The ''Mazeppa" engage
ment closed that night.

why Tunnel Rains Wear Out.

Steel rails are known to have a
short life in tunnels and other places
into which the fumes of locomotives
are discharged. This appears to be
due to the conversion of the sulphur
in coal into sulphurie acid, and the
subsequent chemical action of the
acid upon the steel.

THE SIMPLE SAVAGES.
How They Bunkoed Whisky Pirate on
OF His Sloop Loaded With Liquor.

OF HIS olOop LOa0ed win Liquor.
The Indians Of the west coast of Van
couver island have adopted novel and de-
cidedly effective method of dealing with
white whisky pirates who frequent their
villages, as James johnson of Victoria
formerly master Of the sealing schooner
Kilmany, knows to his cost. He had come
to the conclusion that there was big money
for the man who made a systematic tour
of the west coast with bottled samples Of
gin and whisky.
Accordingly he purchased a small trad.
ing sloop, loaded her with a cargo of stim-
ulants and sailed for Barclay sound some
three weeks ago. There, for a few days,
he did q rushing business retailing his low
grade intoxicants at s5 to s1O per bottle.
The Indians knew they were being robbed
and demonstrated, but no reduction in the
price was made.
Then they held council, and great
plan was evolved. The aid of tho Indian
police was secured, and while the master
Of tho sloop slumbered he was surrounded,
made prisoner, handcuffed and led In tri.
umph to the village. In vain he pleaded
for release. He was told he would be held
until the coming OF the police patrol and
then delivered to the officers for supplying
liquor to Indians. This meant n fine Of ut
least $500 and the conflscation Of his craft,
SO he determined to suggest terms, and
his offer of the sloop and its cargo for his
freedom was quickly accepted. The cargo
was consumed in single night by the
dusky diplomats In celebrating the success
OF their Napoleonic stroke of generalship.

Governor Atkinson Does Kind Act For
Poor Woman.
A sorrier looking turnout than one
which picked its way along Whitehall
street, Atlanta, the other day has never
come from the home Of widowhood OF pow
erty. A jaded and sprained mule, with
stiff and knotty limbs and thin sides,
toiled painfully alon% drawing behind
him battered, ramslHckle old buggy that
seemed to have stood the service OF many
years. The harness was tied together In
many places and seemed in momentary
peril of coming to pieces again. The old
buggy tottered along as If 1t might collapse
at any moment. A patient IL ling wom
an, in faded poke bonnet and a home
spun dress, sat In the frail vehicle and
guided the wavering steps of the wornout
mule Suddenly the mule stopped and
one Of the sl&fts dropped down-a piece Of
the harness had broken. The poor woman
gazed ut the wreck with calamity written
In her face. For full minute she sur
veyed 1t without moving, and then looked
around for some friendly face. The side
walk was crowded with people and the
street was full, but all were hurrying on,
and no one paid the slightest attention to

from her seat.
Just at this moment passing carriage
halted and a gentleman alighted. He
spoke to the woman in a kindly tone, and
offered to assist her. She gratefully ac-
cepted the offer and stood by almost trem-
blingly while he worked away repairing
the broken harness. twas hard job and
took quite awhile. But the gentleman
who had offered his service was deter
mined, and as he worked he got down on
his knees that he might get at 1t better.
Finally II was completed, and the gentle
man stepped into his carriage and drove
on. A man who was passing noticed the
almost fearful gratitude Of the poor woman
as the carriage drove away, and stopping
up to her he said:
"Do you know who that was that fixed
your harnessY'
The woman shook her head.
"That was the governor of the state

The woman was too greatly astonished
to make any reply, and as she continued
her way down Whitehall street she was 80

that she came near colliding with num-
