iNCIPlENT CONSUMPTION.
How One Woman Cured Herself With a
Homemade Sirup.

How One Woman Cured Herself With q
Homemade Sirup.
"You would not believe that was once
elected to die Of consumption, said a very
robust looking woman at the o'clock tea
"Yet such Is the case / had had lung
trouble for four winters, and when I start
ed In on 1t for the fifth the doctors said
there was no hope for me unless succeed
ed In getting the better of 1t at once
was young and gay and very far from
wanting to die, SO set myself to work and
by dint OF persevering Unremittingly In
two simple remedies gained the victory,
and would advise some of you who are
suffering from cold aud coughs to try at
least the simpler Of these two cures. The
first requires such constancy of purpose
that / am sure no one would keep it up un-
less pretty far gone, though 1t Is nothing
more than daily sun bath. All that win
ter long, every day that the sun shone
found me sitting, stripped to the waist, for
two hours In the morning sunshine Some
times my back was almost blistered, but I
knew that the warm rays were bringing
me back to health and happiness, SO never
once yielded to my inclination to skip a
day.
The other remedy was mullen sirup,
which have since found effectual In many
cases Of chronic coughs.
Take two quarts of compact mullen
leaves picked from stalks that have never
howered. Place these in stewpan and
put enough water on them to just cover
them well. Let them simmer, not boil,
until the strength is all out of the leaves.
Strain this juice add cup of brown sugar
and simmer again until a sirup Is formed;
then add pint Of jamaica rum. Take
tablespoonful of this sirup three times
day, or, II thought better, take less guam
tity whenever obliged to cough ATLANTA

4 Man-o1-wnz4s Mans Experiencss In Fish
M While st Anchor.
Agroupo Of officers stood on the after deck
| of tho monitor Terror as tho vessel lay In
the Horseshoe down at Sandy Hook one
afternoon apd discussed whether there was
time to fish from the deok for awhile be-
fore dinner. The discussion Brought for tn
lot Of naval fishing experiences When
the grist Of stories had nearly run out, an
officer, who had been silent up TO that
time, cleared his throat and said:
II suppose some of you will laugh and
sneer at my statement, but want to de-
clare that have seen fish that could and
did catch bullets We have all heard of
magicians who catch bullets fired at them
by members of squad. can go that bet

did catch bullets fired in volley into the
water from a man-of. war. 1t was on my
latest cruise i had just been ordered to
the ship. The day that arrived my fellow
officers said that they had part Of the crew
drawn up for revolver practice. At the
close of the practice volley was fired at
an imaginary enemy,

fish for pleasure, and several fish were
caught. In each of them was found bull

idea and asked why they told such things
when there were no marines ON board.
Then they said they would try 1t again.
The squad was brought up and another
volley was fired into the water. We all
went to fishing right away. In less than
half an hour we had two fine bass. We cut
them open, and there were the bullets.
"Of course I saw what had happened.
The bullets went skipping across the water
and finally sank after having lost their
force. They were bright, and the fish
darted for them as they do for anything
bright that goes by Nevertheless had to
see it to be convinced.
Certainly we believe what you have
told u.s." spoke up fellow officer of the
Terror, "for we've all had these odd expe-
riences In fishing from a man -of-w war
Still, there's one thing you haven't ex-
planned. You haven't told us how you sent
word to those fishes to come up to the ship
and be caught. New York Sun.

THE PAINFUL FELON.
How It IL Generated and How 1t should
be Treated.

| How It IL Generated and How It should
BE Treated.
Felons occur most frequently on the last
joint of the fingers or thumb Of the right
hand. They are localized acute inflamma-
tions, resulting from the presence beneath
the skin of certain poisonous organisms
which have gained admission through a
wound. This wound is very likely a
scratch or prick SO slight and insigniH-
can't that one cannot remember having 70.
ceived IL.
The first thing that attracts ones atten-
tion Is small redeemed and swollen spot,
which Is painful when touched. In the
beginning the Inflammation Is just be-
meath the skin, but II not interfered with
1t frequently works It's way deep down be-
low the surface and burrows along the
bone or tendons of the finger.
The superficial felon Is the less painful.
This Ia located, as a rule, around and un-
der the finger nail 1t may appear on one
or more fingers at the same time or In
succession, particularly II the bodily sys-
tenn is debilitated. The Inflammation may
be slight and subside quickly, but fire.
quently it Is more or less severe and re-
suits In tho formation of small absoess.
In the case of enfoebled persons the in
hammation may cause considerable swell
Ing and intense pain and result In the loss
of a part or the whole of the finger nail
The deep felon usually starts on the un-
derside of the finger. Within day or two
the finger becomes painful, tense, hot and
throbbing. The pain ant tension rapidly
increase-especially when the hand hangs
at the side-and the suffering continues
without abatement until an abscess has
gathered and 10 contents have discharged
through an opening In the skin.
For q superficial felon nothing Is usual
ly required but rest Of the affected part
and q cold application. II an abscess has
formed, however, hot applications should
be applied and the pus completely removed.
The application of the tincture of iodine,
carbolic acid or u blister affords little or
no relief
In the deep variety of felon the forma-
tion of an abscess is almost certain, and
therefore hot applications or poultices
should be employed from the beginning.
IL at the end of two or three days there
Is no marked relief the abscess should be
opened.
The incision should be deep enough to
insure the complete evacuation Of the CON
tents of the abscess. Immediate relief
from oil suffering follows the emptying of
the absoess, and the wound quickly heals
II care Is taken to keep 1t absolutely clean.

 Chicago. July T...-After session of con- siderable irreguarity, in which there was some strength and much weakness, wheat closed today with a slight percentage of loss from Saturday. The opening was quite buoyant, with prices about 1ac higher than the final quotations of last week, in connec- tion with which the wet weather and pre- dictions of further showers for the winter wheat sections were quoted. September wheat opened at 59A q60c, declined to 5S$4c, closing at 594d59asc, a shade under Satur- day. Cash wheat was irregular, but in the main steady.
 Corn began the day fairly well under the guidance of the early improvement in wheat, but it was soon evident that the tone lacked stability. Good crop reports, heavy receipts and lower Liverpool cables combined to discourage buying. Prices suc- after the expiration of the first half hour the tone was uniformly weak. September corn opened at 25zsc, sold between 26 and 253s@251ac, closing at 251ac, ss4l2c under Sat urday. Cash corn was weak and AQ1sc lower.
