About 60.000 old soldiers attended this
encampment. This is only a melancholy
fraction of the men who came out of the
four-years' struggle with their lives, and
yet it is n great number when one re-
fleets that it is thirty years since that con-
test ended. These gatherings are better
attended than were those held ten years
after the war closed. when the number
of veterans was SO much greater than
now. This is not because railroad rates

COUNT AS A PRIZE.
A French Dignitary Offers Himself on the
Lottery Plan.

A French Dignitary Offers Himself on the
Lottery Plan.
These are the days of schemers. A
Frenchman, signing himself Count de
Clerico de Saint German, has written a
letter to one of the St. Petersburg
journals, proposing lottery, with him
self as the prize. There are to be one
million chances, each ticket to cost one
rouble. Any young woman who wishes
to pay that amount, in the hope of be-
coming a countess, is entitled to one
chance.
The n drawing that 'lucky" num-
Der Count Clerico promises to marry
and install as the c~hatelaine of his
French chateau. The proceeds of the
lottery he proposes to divide as follows:
Two hundred and fifty thousand
roubles for himself, two hundred and
fifty thousand for his bride, two hum
dred and fifty thousand for the journal
which conducts the lottery, and two
hundred and fifty thousand for the poor
of Russia. The count argues that this
will be the lowest price-one rouble-
ever paid by any woman for a bona fide
title of countess.
He declares that he belongs to one of
the oldest families in France, has a
character and unsullied name, and that
he will furnish documentary proof of
his claims. His fortune, however, he

WHIPPED BY THREE WOMEN.

and Feathers.

minnesota Teacher Adorned with MOlaSSes
and Feathers.
John Welna, a school-teacher at Hold
ing Ford, Mimi, came to town the
other morning and reported a case of
Enolasses and feathers in school district
No. SO, in which he was the victim.
Three strong women visited the school
at once and poured a pail of molasses
e Welna's body and then emptied a
big bag of feathers ove~ him. Welna's
hands were pinioned behind him in the
presence OF the scholars by one of the
women, and he was also struck on the
head and face with a pail, leaving ugly
cuts. Welna began his term a few
weeks ago, and found warning pinned
on the door of the schoolhouse that it
would lot be healthful for him to teach
in that district. The only motive for
the action on the part of the women is
h a Welna was arrested last fall for
whipping a child named Halieck, but
the evidence showed the punishment
was not v severe and Welna was dis
charged.

Recent discoveries nave demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con.
troll of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyZed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve >tenters will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
.TwO-thirds of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base. of the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it.
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR.. MILES, the celebrated spe-
cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connec ton with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness, dizziness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, ST.

matter how caused. The wonderful success OF

New Species round Recently In Africa
Their Distinguishing Points.
Honey ants have recently been dis
covered IN Natal. They belong to a
genus different from those of our west
ern states, whose honey-producing
erl1ers have spherical, enormously
swollen abdomens filled with honey.
In the Natal ants there are very few of
these workers in proportion to the en-
tire colony; and while a few had very
large, round ab1omens, others had alb
domens in various degrees Of disten-
sion, showing that the degree Of abso-
lutte distension is gradually arrived at,
This is the first African honey ant yet
discovered. Besides our western spe-
cies, others occur in South America,
southern Australia, and, it is said, in
India.
