an Up to Date Miracle.

This curious story comes from ceie-
brated shrine at Wilma in Russian Po-
land: In February Russian, who can
not now be identified, brought to the
parish priest Of the Ostra Drama chapel,
Father Franklewicz, several very large
wax candles, with the request that they
might be kept burning night and day as
a votive Offering before Our Lady S
image
The request excited no surprise, as
even the schisnatic Russians have a de-
votion to the Madonna, and frequently
bring offerings to the shrine, but as it
would have been imprudent to leave the
candles burning all night without
watching. the sacristan was told to sit
up in room near by the altar. About
midnight the watcher extinguished the
candles. Asked next morning why he
had done SO, the man declared that in
his sleep he had repeatedly heard the
cry, "Put out the candles!'' and with
some natural feeling of awe had done
SO.
Upon careful examination, the cam
dies turned out to be hollow and filed
with gunpowder. There is no doubt an
attempt had been made to destroy the
famous Madonna, which for so many
centuries had been looked upon, even
by the Russians, as the mighty protec-
tress of the Catholic faith London

ST. Bernard Dogs.

A St. Bernard dog is handsome pet
and SO Intelligent that it's owner always
grows fond of it. But it is care, es-
pecially as the warm months come on.
The heavy coat makes the poor animal
suffer intensely with the heat. Usually
it will take refuge in the cellar and lie
there on the stone floor, painting loudly,
with tongue lolling and an expression
OF suffering in the great eyes that is
piteous to see. It is highly dangerous to
try clipping the coat, as has been done
by rash friends of the much enduring
animal. The dog cannot stand less de-
gree OF covering and yet it is uncom-

The Story Of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, ri. D., IL. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which for several Gencr-
ations has furnished moro distin-
guishcd medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, Of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter OF the State
medical society, of which bo was for
thirty years % conspicuous member;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon IN Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College; ;
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discovcrcr of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including q new and
unique modesof reducing mctacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening Of alb
scess at hip-joiLt, etc, etc.
At the early are OF twcnty-four his
extraordinary Sill and succcssin over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention Of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery Of an original
method for pcrfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be-
come known as his "r-;-e formula"
and which, under TIE name CT Puri-
t2na, is legally protected.
The foundation OF this remarkable
medical discovery consists Of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scended to the long limo of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. It's peculiar vegetable compost
tion rendered it necessary TO brew it
Whenever needed in the early days of
its history, and after the scattering of
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where tho necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made TO put it up in permanent
form, all Of which failed until DIR. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure
compounded in the laboratory of
Common Sense.

er of summary punishment when an
offense is committed in the immediate
presence of judge; but in indirect
contempts such as violation of an in
junction, the bill provides that the ac-
cused shall be given a full hearing,
with opportunities to summon wit
nesses and offer defense. An amend
ment was made by Mr.. Cannon, of
Utah, giving the accused right to trial
by jury on application. In case of con-
viction, an appeal is provided for to
the Supreme court. Senators Hill But
Ter and Peffer supported the bill. and
Mr.. Platt opposed it as revolutioniz-
ing the judicial system.
Another general bin passed during
the day increasing the salaries of let
tafs paf fix~t1pr 4ha
ing to length of service The bill pro-
vides that after June 30, the pay of
letter carriers in cities of more than
$4,000 population, for the first year of
service, shall be 5000; second year,
$500; third year, $1,000 and there
after 81 200; and after June 30. 1896,
the pay of letter carriers, in cities of
a population of under $4,000 for the
first year of service shall be $500; sec
ond year $500; third year, and there
after 81 900.
The bill establishing a code of sig
nails at sea was passed.
