The attention of the reader is
directed to the Republican ticket,

composing the ticket are not of
ficeseekers, but, prompted by
spirit of patriotism and independ-
ence, have volunteered their ser
vices in the effort to purify the
local political atmosphere and to
wrest BeXar county from the
grasp of self-constituted bosses
and designing politicians. The
ticket, composed of all honorable
men, merits the support of all
good citizens, regardless of party

THE FACE IN ILLNESS.

To the Trained Eye 1t Quickly Shows q
Patients Condition.
The face is a good index 10 the state
of ones physical being, and from it
symptoms of disease can be detected
almost before the patient is aware
that anything serious is the matter
with him. For instance, incomplete
closure of the eyelids, rendering the
whites of the eyes visible during sleep,
is symptom in all acute and chronic
diseases of a severe type; it is also to
be observed when rest is unsound from
pain, wherever seated.
Twitching of the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation of the tyeballs, or
squirting, herald the visit of convul-
sionS.
Widening of the OFFICES of the nose,
with movements of the nostrils to and
fro, point to embarrassed breathing
from disease of the lungs or their
plural investment.
Contraction of the brows indicates
pain in the head; sharpness of the nos
trils, pain in the chest, and a drawn
upper lip, pain in the abdomen.
To make general rule, it may be
stated that the upper third of the face
is altered in expression in affections
of the brain, the middle third, in the
diseases of the organs contained in the
abdominal cavity.-The Trained Nurse.

Very Profitable COMPUTATION.

There is great profit in wise COM
bination of the swine and COWS. There
is much waste of milk which cannot be
used on the farm in any other way.
The milk adds variety to the food of
the hogs and tends to afford a balanced
ration. No food is more palatable to
the pigs than milk. A vigorous diges-
ton is promoted and a disposition to
take on flesh is extended. For shoats
the sour milk is especially appropriate.
In the estimation of some practical
feeders whose conclusions are to be
respected, the acid in the sour milk for
the older pigs-those more than four
months old-is particularly valuable
and equivalent to using cooked food
in many Western Rural.

ornament the grounds without impair
ing their usefulness as Fairgrounds, to
give the children a knowledge of plant
growth. and to teach them to appreci-
ate common trees and shrubs.
First lay out the walks. To insure
their being used make them perfectly
straight. A gravel walk is cheapest
and is fairly serviceable in all kinds of
weather. A neat fence is an absolute
necessity to keep off stray animals.
The school is home for the children
for large part of the day, so the play
ground ought to be ample. Let the
general playground for boys and girls
occupy the space east of the school
house. The part marked lawn, is de-
signed for a stretch of velvety turf as
neat and well-l1ept as possible. This,
if beautiful, gives character to the
whole. While no keep off the grass
signs need to be placed there, playing
on that part of the yard must be re-
stricted. The space marked girls is to
be separated from the remainder by
shrubs and trees. A secluded spot is
thus provided where the gentler sex can
keep their treasures, and can play house
and other games suitable for young
girls. AS costly plants are out of the
question most of them must be small
and common. Native trees and shrubs
are generally about as attractive as
foreign ones, and are infinitely harder
and easier to make live. 1t is well to
have good variety of trees, though the
grounds need not be made a sort of
museum. Maple, oak, elm, beech, wal
nut, linden and tulip are all desirable
deciduous kinds. Oaks and walnuts
are best grown from the seed. For
evergreens, spruce, white pine and hem
lock in the order given are most suit
able. There are other desirable kinds
but those named should by all means

plan, places for the various trees are
indicated. Other varieties, however,

NAVIGATING IN FOG.
1t Is Made Possible by an InstrumeI

1t Is Made Possible by an Instrument
Called the Eophone.
Possibly there is no greater terror
among the many met with at'sea than
fog. The helplessness Of our harbor
boats and the clalnor of the bells and
Whistles during q heavy fog in New
York harhor give one some idea of this
nightmare of the ocean; but when Il
fog closes down upon a vessel at sea
the most reckless captain proceeds
cautiously and anxiously.
The probability of collisions and
wrecks due to fogs has been accepted
as a sort of unavoidable evil, which
must become greater as the number
and speed of vessels increase. Blu
the inventive genius of man could not
let such condition of affairs continue
without attempting to do away with
it, and there has been perfected lately
a simple instrument, called the CO.
phone, by which the direction from
which a sound proceeds can be deter
mined with absolute accuracy in Fog
or darkness.
The simplest description of the in
strument is that it consists of two bell
mouthed sound receivers, separated
by a central diaphragm. The sound
receivers are connected to the two ears,
and. when pointed directly at source
of sound. the noise is the same in each
ear. When turned away the sound is
heard in only one ear.
On shipboard the sound catching and
dividing part of the instrument ex-
tends above the top of the chart house.

Kansas City, ~ miles distant, by boa
that came up the river that night. The
cargo of the Twilight was very rich Il
was composed of 300 barrels of whisky,
hundreds of cases of wines, liquors and
canned goods and a large stock of gen
eral merchandise.
For several years she lay on the log
in the river, visible when the water was
low and again covered. She was Il
thing of fascination to country boys,
who dreamed of all sorts of exploits to
get the treasure out of her. There was
an air of mystery about her that thrilled
the farm lads like the tales of Capt.
Kidd or the stories of the adventures Of
wreckers.
Four years after she was sunk an un-
successful attempt was made to get the
cargo. Several years after that farmers
in the vicinity got two barrels OF
whisky out of her and when they went
for more she could not be found. The
treacherous river had shifted and she
was buried in sand bank. Then the
river cut in along the south bank close
under the bluff and the great rise of
1887 made a sand bar on top of her.
buried her deep and left her far inland
under 80 feet of sand, 100 yards from
the bank of the river at high water and
half mile from shore when the river
was down.
Last year a number of Kansas City
gentlemen organized company to re-
cover the sunlen cargo. By series of
ingenious mechanical devices they To-
Gated the wreck in 80 feet of water and
found the freight in comparatively
good condition. There have been many
interruptions of the work, but large
part of the merchandise has already
been recovered.
The 800 barrels of whisky in the hold
are in a perfect state of preservation.
One of them was tapped and the whisky
was found to be beyond compare. A
glass of is. which was poured out before
a company of men in the Kansas City
club. filled the entire floor with its
aroma. 1t was thick and oily, almost
of the consistency of New Orleans mo-
lasses, and after the glass was emptied

The whisky will not be- taken out
until the government officials shall De-
come satisfied that it is tax free. The
taxes were paid at the distillery where
the stuff was made more than 30 years
ago.
There is a rumor that abaft of where
the whisky was found is the purser's
cabin. and in it is a safe containing a
large sum of money, which was being

question, however, is forgotten for the
present in the joy of the wreckers at
the finding of the whisky. Speculation
is rife as to what will be the profits &C
the wreckers. Experienced dealers say
that the whisky will sell readily for at
least $500 a barrel.-St. Louis Globe
