EFFECTS OF COFFEE.
An Iowa Woman Sick with Delirium
Tremens from II.

Here is a sensational coffee story
from Fort Dodge, Iowa:
Mrs. Sarah Murdock, living near
this city, was attacked yesterday
with a severe attack of delirium tre-
mems, caused by the excessive drink
ing of coffee. For a number of
years she has been addicted to the
use of very strong coffee, taking as
many as a dozen cups at a meal, and
never fewer than six. A few days
ago she resolved to make a desper-
ate effort to give up the beverage,
and for two days she fought the in
satiable craving. AT the end of the
second day came the collapse and
she suffered every symptom exper-
fenced by heavy drinker of alco-
holic liquors when deprived of it af-
ter a'prolonged debauch.
The physician called stated that
she had delirium tremens and could
hardly be convinced that the patient
had never touched alcoholic stimu-
lants in her life. When the case
was explained he pronounced it the
most remarkable one he had ever
heard of.
This case doubtless will become
famous to the medical world.

Iron, The Kansas CITY Z.mes.)
For years, one Of the best known men in
Bates and Vernon counties has been Mark
81. Wocdson, now postmaster at Panama,
and brother of cx-State inspector of Mines,
&: e. Wocdson, Of this city. The people Of
Rich Hill, where he formerly resided, and OF
his present home, remember well the bent
form, misshapcn almost from the semblance
OF man, which has painfully bowed its head
half 20 earth and labored snail-like across
the walks season after season, and when one
day last month it Strengthened to its full
height, threw away the heavy butt Of cane
which for years had been its only support
from total helplessness, and walked erect,
firmly, unhesitstingiy about the two cities
people looked and wondered The story Of
the remarkable case has became the marvel
OF the two counties. Exactly as MIR. Wood
con told IT " u Times reporter, it is here
published:
In 81 the rheumatism started in nv
right knee, and after lingering illuess i,
settled generally in my joints, was finally
able to arise. but for the past five years could
only walk with the aid Of crutches, and my
body was bent half toward the ground.
went TO the best dispensary in Kansas City.
where l was treated for six weeks, and with
out the slightest good. / then tried a strong
galvanic battery, with the same result. ]
then went to the City Hospital at st. Louis.
where the best physicians treated me-(in.
GLIDING Drs. Kale and Mudd)-but withoui
result, and | came home, weak, doubled with
pain and respondent.
About this time my attention was called
b. the account of a remarkable cure by Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People of loco.
motor ataxia, rheumatism and paralysis.
ordered some of the pills as an experiment.
When l began to take them, the rheuma-
tism had developed into a phase of parai
ysis; my leg from the thigh down was colo
ell the time and could not be kept warm. In
q short time 1 was able to attend to my Office
duties, and could enjoy sound and restful
nights sleep, something l had not known
for ten years. To-day am practically, and
! firmly believe, permanently cured of my
terrible and agoniZing ailment. No magician
of the Far East ever wrought the miracle
with his wand that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
did for me.
To verify the story beyond all question Of
doubt Mr.. Woodson made affidavit to the
above.
Subscribed nd sworn to before me this Sd
day Of March, 1894.

knowledging that many of them would
have to be written off as bad.

Accordingly, the next Sabbath morn

Their go, and where formerly a woman
had two or three bags at most she now
counts her possessions of this sort by
dozens.
The empire workbag is made Of blue
plush or corduroy. Take a square of the
material of any desired size, round off
the corners and line with rose colored
silk, adding an interlining of canvas,
which keeps the bag in good shape. A
half handkerchief piece of rich pompa-
dOur brocade, with the lower corner
rounded off, and the whole edged with
gimp OF frill of narrow lace, is
draped around the bag, straight across
On one side, the ends fastening under a
short pocket of the brocade, which is in
tended to hold thimbies, emery and wax
or other small conveniences. On the op-
posite side is an escutcheonlike tab of
plush or velveteen, crossed diagonally
with gimp, lined with channels and fin
ished on the edge with ruche of frill.
1t is fastened only at the top and serves
to hold pins and needles. The bag is
drawn up by ribbons run through gilt
curtain rings sewed to the edge at dis
tances of three or four inches.
The smallest illustration shows one
of the most complete and convenient all
around workings ever devised, while it
is also enc of the prettiest. 1t is made
of ribbon, either a wide sash ribbon or
plain and brocaded ribbon overhanded
together. The model bag is of plain vio-
let satin ribbon with violet brocaded
ribbon-between. A disk of bronze mo-
rocco, inches in diameter, bound with
narrow ribbon of the same color, forms
the bottom and is overhanded to a rib
bon covered disk Of cardboard, just as
the favcrite little pocket pincushions are
made, and when the bag is finished the
seam is stuck full of pins.
A strip of 2 inch violet ribbon sur
rounds the lower edge of the bag inside
and is divided by lines of dainty feather
stitching into tiny pockets for thread,
silk, buttons, etc. The bag should be
scanned up first, finished around the top

Story Teller.
One man in Gentryville, Ind. a Mr..
Jones, the storekeeper, took a Louisville
paper, and here Lincoln went regularly
to read and discuss its contents. All the
men and boys of the neighborhood gath
cred there, and everything which the
paper related was subjected to their
keen. shrewd common sense It was not
long before young Lincoln became the
fayorite member Of the group and the
one listened to most eagerly. Politics
was warmly discussed by these Gentry
vile citizens, and it may be that sitting
on the counter Of Jones' grocery Lin
coin even discussed slavery. 1t certainly
was one Of the live questions of Indiana
at that date.
Young Lincoln was not only winning
in these days in the Jones' grocery store
o reputation as debater and story tell
er, but he was becoming known as a kind
Of backwoods orator. He could repeat
with effect all the poems and speeches
in his various school readers, he could
initiate to perfection the wandering
preachers who came to Gentryville, and
he could make political speech SO STIR
ring that he drew crowd about him
every time he mounted a stump. The
applause he won was sweet, and fire.
quently he INDUCED his gifts when he
ought to have been at work-so thought
his employers and Thomas, his father.
1t was trying, no doubt, to the hard
pushed farmers to see the men who
ought to have been cutting grass or
chopping wood throw down their Sic
kles or axes to group around boy when
ever he mounted stump to develop a
pet theory or repeat with variations
yesterdays sermon. In his fondness for
speechmaking he attended all the trials
Of the neig95orhood and frequently
walked Is miles to Bonneville to attend
court.
He wrote as we'll as made speeches,
and some Of his productions were even
printed through the influence of his ad-
miring neighbors; thus local Baptist
preacher was SO struck with one of
Abraham's essays ON temperance that
he sent it to Ohio, where it appeared in
some local paper. Another article, on
National Politics." SO pleased a law
yer Of the vicinity that he declared the
"world couldn't beat it. Ida NJ. Tar

Trained Nurses In Germany.

A noteworthy innovation in Germany
is the Introduction of trained nurses such
as other countries are blessed with.
Heretofore the caretakers Of the poor
and the sick have for the most part been
lliiterate, incompetent and awkward, if
kindly, peasant women, who have taken
but a three or six months course in
nursing. Even the deaconnesses of good
families have had to contend with a
sadly insufficient knowledge Of the du-
ties and responsibilities connected with
their calling. Now, nurses training is
to extend over two years, with the best
OF opportunities for medical and surgi-
cal study in the clinics and hospitals.
an unreasonable gain for both physi-
clans and patients.

increasing amount Of work each year is
that Of newspaper and magazine Illus

Is amply attcsted to. In the Art Stu

them are devoting themselves exclusive

mony of those most competent to Judge
that women will soon do as good work
