thirty miles through a country where
there were no trails, and then they were
met by the mems brothers, with a ply
stefan and everything necessary. They
reached the railroad Tuesday evening,
and after seeing their unfortunate
friends off for the East, Messrs. Still
well and Ingram came on here. The ply
stefan said that Davidson would prob

less, while he was inclined to think that
Roberts would remain helpless para

The Painful Experience of a Fisherman
in the Lake District of the Northwest.
H. e. Stillwell and James Ingram,
members of a party of four who lett
Des Moines, Ia, something over a month
ago for a hunting and fishing trip iii
the Northwest, arrived here the other
day. The other two members of the
party met with peculiar misadventures
and are now on their way home in care
Of relatives One of them is T. A. Rob
erts, who is perfectly helpless and para
lyzed from stings of hornets, and the
other is William Davidson, with pistol
bullet buried somewhere under his left
shoulder blade, where the doctor has not
vet been able to find it. He was acct
dentally shot by a companion in a fusil-
lade at a deer.
Roberts went fishing and caught a
number of fine trout, but as soon as the
sun was up about an hour and it began

him with great fury. He had slid into
the water. but, of course, could not
keep his head under, and he had been
stung all over his head and face until
he was nearly dead, and his head swelled
to twice the natural size. The stings
on the back of the neck, at the base of
the skull seemed to have affected the
SPINAL cord and the nerve centers and
rendered him completely helpless and
paralyzed.
AS soon as camp was reached the

Lighted His Cigar with Ice.

Recently a prominent lawyer arrived
in Washington for consultation regard
ing some patent cases. During the con-
versation a match to light q cigar was
lacking, and the Washingtonian re-
marked that piece of ice would do just
as well. The lawyer laughed and was
incredulous and wager was made. The
Washingtonian took piece of clear ice
about an inch thick from the water
cooler, whitfield it into the shape OF q
disk, and with the palms of his hand
melted its two sides convex, thus giving
the form of double convex lens or burn
ing glass. With it he focused the suns
rays on the end of his cigar and lastly
set it on fire.-Albany Journal.

TOBACCO KILLS CHOLERA.
Germs of This Disease Can't Live Five
Minutes in Smokers Mouth.

Germs of This Disease Can't Live Five
Minutes in Smokers Mouth.
Defenders of tobacco smoking fail to
make use of the most powerful argu-
ments in its favor. Hitherto the most
that has been claimed in favor of smok-
ing was a certain subtle, beneficial eff
feet on the digestion and a soothing eff
feet on the nerves.
1t has been learned recently, from the
report of investigations Of the effects of
tobacco during the epidemic of cholera
at Hamburg, that cholera microbes
could not exist in the mouths of smokers.
There We're no living bacteria after
twenty-four hours in cigars made up
with water containing 100000 cholera
germs to the cubic inch. There were no
traces of microbes to be found in any of
the cigars manufactured az Hamburg in
the time of the epidemic. The microbes
die in a half to two hours exposure to
smoke of Brazil, Sumatra or Havana
tobacco. The smoke of any cigar kills
the microbes. Experiments show that
in five minutes after beginning to smoke
the microbes in the mouth are killed.
Another fact established is that none of
the persons employed in the tobacco fac
tories at Hamburg contracted cholera

Coke and POncoru

People who are planning popcorn par
ties for this winter will do well to lay in
supply of coke. A coal fire deadens
down whe. it is opened, but coke burns
bright and hot. Gas is excellent also,
but people in the popcorn business use
the coke, because it is cheaper. Pop
ping corn is one of the few things that
will remain handwork for some time to
come. Small machines have been in
vented but they are not an Improvement
upon the old method. Where corn is
popped in large quantities, regular fur
naces lined with friedrich are built for
the purpose. The peppers are huge af,
fairs, holding half bushel of corn when
popped. The weight is sustained by
wires suspended from the ceiling, and
the workman has only to keep the corn
moving, and when it is ready he unhooks
the pepper, lifts the cover. and pours
out the contents. Summer is the season
for corn from commercial standpoint.
AS long as the shore resorts and places
of amusement are open the popcorn man
is kept busy over his big furnaces and
in molding the crushed corn into cakes

OSMAN PASHA IN THE KITCHEN.
The Hero of Plevna Now Employed to

The Hero of Plevna Now Employed to
Seal Up Abdul Hamid's Food.
During the turbulent times that have
come upon Turkey in recent months,
there have been many inquiries among
foreigners for Osman Pasha, the hero
y of Plevna. What was he doing? What
would be his place in case of domestic or
foreign war? How were his talents be-
ing utilized to keep the shaky fabric
Of Turkish empire together? These
questions were asked, but they were
asked in vain until three weeks ago a
German correspondent found that Abdul
Hamid had promoted this lion of the
field to his own palatial kitchen. Os-
man was, and is, the ''sealer of the i'm
perial food"
When all the dishes have been pre-
pared for the Sultan, the hero of Plevna
proceeds to the kitchen, the corresponds
ent says, and seals them up, to prevent
any possibility of their being poisoned.
The seals are kept intact until the dishes
reach the table, where they are broken
under the Sultan's own eyes.
