piphtheria and Group cure.

In a report to the French Academy
of Medicine, DR.. Delthell stated that
the yapors of liquid tar and tur-
pentine would dissolve the fbrinous
exhalations which choke up the
throat in Group and d%iphtheria. He
describes the process thus:
"Take equal parts (say two table,
spoonfuls) oil. turpentine and liquid
tar, put them into a tin pan or cup
and set fire to the mixture, taking
care to have a large pan under it as a
safeguard against fire. A dense
resinous smoke arises, making the
room dark. The patient immediately
seems to experience relief; the chok-
ing and the rattle stop; the patient
falls into a slumber and seems to in
hale the smoke with pleasure. The
fibrinous membrane soon becomes
detached, and the patient coughs up
microbiedes. These when caught in
a glass may be seen to dissolve in the
smoke. In the course of three days
the patient entirely recovers.n
The above information has been
quite largely copied into the papers,
and with it the relief and cure of
Ruth Lockwood, a 9-year- old child,
who was dangerously sick with diph-
liberia, but the disease readily yielded
to the above mode of treatment, and
the child was cured. A case occur
ring in Boston recently is worthy Of
note at this particular time, when the
two forms of disease are quite preva-
lent. The facts in the case, in brief,
are as follows:
Jennie Brown, a child of some 5
years of age, was dangerously sick
with diphtheria; her attending physi-
clan had no hopes of her recovery;
he declared to a person that out of
the many cases under his treatment
three were beyond cure, and little
Jennie was one of that number. The
father of the child had read of
the above treatment, and, on his own
responsibility-and that, too, without
consultation with the attending ply
sician-he obtained the mixture, tax
ing two tablespoonfuls of each, but he
now considers that one of each would
have been sufficient, and there would
have been less danger of burning the
carpet, etc. The child was in bed,
breathing SO loud that it could be
heard all owe the house, but as soon
as the tar and turpentine began to
burn she was relieved, and breathed
quite freely, and soo commenced to
cough and raise; and to the fathers
great delight she commenced to gain
from that moment. He followed up
this treatment for three nights, the
attending physician approving, and
the child to-day is well. The other
two children alluded to above did not
have this form of treatment, and they
are numbered with the dead.
This remedy may not be an infalli-
BILE cure in all cases, and with all per-
sons, but surely it could do no harm
in cases that have been given up as
by the medical men. The
father said that he would advise the
removal from the apartment where
this treatment is to be applied of all
articles that would be likely to be in
jured by the smoke of the Ingredients
setting fire to the mixture.

The secret of health is to keep the
blood pure and full of strength.
When a man or woman loses flesh and
vitality, there is something wrong in
the blood. The start of it is likely to
be in the stomach or bowels, and if
they are put in order the trouble
gradually stops. Consumption is a
germ disease, but if the blood is good
and keeps the lungs strong and healthy
the germs cannot find a place to lodge
and are cast off. If there's a weak
spot the germ will find it. Even after
that, strong and pure blood will
strengthen the lungs SO that they can
gradually rid themselves of the germs.
1t is by creating strength and purity
that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery cures consumption and other
diseases. 1t makes one gain flesh
not iabby, oily fat, but sound, firm,
useful, healthy flesh. Hundreds of
patients have testified to its wonder
fully beneficial effects in many dis
eases and especially in incipient con-
sumption.

Excitement in Austin.

1t was reported in town last Sunday
forenoon that a large body Of water had
been tapped in the main tunnel at Cliff
ton and that all the men had quit work.
The flow of water in the tunnel had in
creased somewhat, but not to tile extent
that Mr.. Wiseaker said it had. and as
the drift is now in the vicinity OF the
larger bodies of water and the supply
to Law off that afternoon in case the WA
ter should be found.

wi lie the buritigh men drilled a round
of deep holes which were fired that even
ing, but the flow OF water did not in
crease.
1t is thought hy many of the old mil :
era here that the water will be drained
off steadily, that the driitings in the old
workings on Lander Hill have come to-
gether and that there is no danger
whatever OF the water coming with a
rush.

been tapped was the means OF drawing

We learn the following by persuing
the daily Journal OF the Sovereign Grand
Lodge:
Legislation has been enacted at this
session whereby a Sister, member OF
a Rehekah Lodge, may make herself
known as member OF IA Subordinate
Lodge.
In all branches prosperity has pre-
vailed to AN unlocked for extent.
In the subordinate lodges, the net
gain has been a.l90,
In the Patriarch Militant Branch,
there has been large increase, the ag-
yregate of which cannot be given with
accuracy--owing to delays in making
returns.
In the Rebekah Branch the growth
has been phenomenal, there being net
increase in membership of 27.S54. This
Is in no inconsderabl e degree attribnta-
able and traceable to the opening the
door to all unmarried ladies of good
moral character.
This last Branch is rapidly outstrip-
ping all of the others and the prediction
that not in the far future it will lead
them all in membership, in labor and
efficacy, seems probable OF realization.
The order owns in real estate some
$50 900 900.

RUSSIA'S NAVY.
Baltic and Black Sea Works Turning Out
Ships.

Ships.
The Russian navy continues to grow
apace. A few days ago the Admiral
Oushakoff, the first of q new class of
vessels, designed especially for coast
defense, had her steam trials in the
Baltic, maintaining speed of Is knots
for 12 hours. Although Of comparative
ly small displacement, she carries O
powerful armament, consisting of four
ten-inch breech-loading gums placed in
two armorcd turrets, four 120-mm. cali
ber new pattern quick-fring guns, "a
small-caliber Hotchl1iss, and four tor
pedo-launching tubes. A complete belt
of armor and an armor deck from stem
to stern protects the vitals of the ship,
all machinery, boilers, etc, being placed
below the protective deck.
At St. Petersburg there Is constant
activity in naval affairs. The cruiser
Rurilk, built and engined by the Baltic
works, is at anchor in Cronstadt roads,
having satisfactorily completed her
steam and gun trials. The battle ship
Navarin, built and engined in St. Peters
burg, is about to make steam trials.
The battle ships Poltava, Sevastopol
an Petropaulovsk, all built in govern
ment dock yards, have their machinery
on board, and will be ready for trial
next spring. The Sissoi Veligy and Adj
miral Senyavin are both practically
ready for trial at sea. The Admiral
Apraxin is almost ready to be launched.
The two last-named vessels are of
the Admiral OushalSoff class. The triple
screw cruiser Russia is being rapidly
constructed In the new building she'd
of the Baltic works and is expected to
be launched next year. Besides these,
there are several new vessels just begun
or to be soon laid down.
In the Black sea the battle ships
Catherine, Tchesma, Sinope, Twelve
Apostles, and George Pobedonosetz are
completed and fully equipped. Tho
latest addition of the same class is tho
Three Saints, now in an advanced stage
of construction and awaiting steam
trials,-Boston Herald.

World.
about the meanest storekeeper
ever traded WITH" began Farmer Jones,
meditatively, "was an old chap named
Abe Davis, out at Cranberry Corners.
Abe is dead and gone to his reward,
so 'twon't do any harm to tell the story.
"One day when l was settlin' up my
monthly bill with him ran across the
following items of which I had no &c
count:
September /. Credit by 25 pounds
at 20 cents, SIS.
September IS. Debit to e5 pounds
butter at 80 cents, $780,
"When 1 asked for an explanation he
said:
"'Didn't I ask you the LIST of Sep
tember If you had any butter to spare
and you said you recl1oned so and you'd
bring in 25-pound crock of it the next
time you come?
"'AIebbe did, said I.
"'All right says he; 4 knew your
word was good for 25 pounds of butter,
so give you credit for it on that date
The next time you came in, Septem-
her Is, asked you how about that but
ter and you said the cows were dry
ing up so on their milk you guessed
you'd halter keep the butter for your
own use, so 1 changed it back to you
on that date to square up the transac-
ton
"I see you did, says 1; but there is
mistake in it, anyhow. You've got
the price 80 cents on the debit side and
only 20 cents on the credit side
"That's all right says he; the price
of butter riz between September and
IS. 1t may seem like quite jump, but
1 always buy my butter at wholesale
rates, and when sell it of course I've
got to have the retail prices.
81 paid his bill without sayin' any"
thing more, but that was the last money
he ever got out of me. 1 didn't mind
tal1in' that butter back, seein' had
never parted with ii, but there was
most too much difference between
Abe's wholesale and retail prices to
suit me, so hunted up another store
to do my tradin' with after that. IN. Y.

We ask for space in your columns to
call the attention of the public in gen.

what we deem an unfair and misleading
system of advertising, adopted by a
certain manufacturer who has on exhi-
vDition in Mr.. Nichols art store, a
medal and diploma which was issued
by the Chicago Worlds Fair Commits
sion for work produced by skilled union
workmen in factory which was at that
time all right. At the present time it
is strictly non-union, employing a

with much favor by the working class,
and who are in no way entitled to the
benefits likely to result from impress
sjons made through the exhibit that
the goods now produced are of kind
or character such as those for which
the awards were made. We, in justice
10 our members, earnestly protest
against their awards of merit being
used TO boom the product Of non-union
concern, and hope to see the medal and
diploma retired from sight until they
can he exhibited to represent the char
acter OF goods for which they we're
