 Resist.
 TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Jan. 20 Q-Sensa- tional stories are afoat here. Gov. Mitchell, at the request of the war de- partment in Washington, has ordered Adjt Gen. Houston to see that the Florida militia be placed in readiness to take the field at moments notice. The governor. it is reported, will call out the militia to-day. In the mean time the adjutant-general is quietly is- suing orders. Similar requests, it is reported, have been sent to the govern ors of other southern states. The story has become generally known, and is causing great excitement throughout the south. Gov. Mitchell and Adjt. Gen. Houston were asked in regard to it. but they refused to talk. Gen. Houston was in his office all yes terday, and has sent telegrams to all battalion commanders in the state. Maj. Turner, of Jacksonville, com. manding the First Florida battalion, has received several messages from the adjutant-general. The battalion com manders at Pensacola and Tampa have also received messages from Gen. Houston during the day.
 It is stated as coming from the execu- tive office that the Washington author ities have reason to believe that a deal is pending between Spain and Great Britain for the sale of Cuba to the latter. and that the United States is preparing to resist the transfer of the island, and that the flying squadron is coming to American waters to be ready for the war with the United States that will inevitably follow the attempted cession of Cuba.
 Dispatches from various cities in Florida report that the troops are gathering and that the war fever is higher now than the day after Presi- dent Cleveland's Venezuelan message

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O The an- nouncement of the appointment of Gen. Valeriano Weyler as civil cap- tain-yeneral of Cuba was received at Cuban headquarters here as confirma. tory of the view they had already ex. pressed upon the news of Campos' retirement, that there has been a radical change in the policy of the Spanish cabinet and that henceforth there is to be a reign of blood and terror in Cuba. Gen. Weyler is a veteran soldier and has had his own experience in revolu- tions, for he followed the fortunes of the Spanish armies in Cuba for years during the last revolution. with the rank of colonel and earned for himself dreadful reputation as man of blood md iron.

making Animal Specimens to order.

L remember a peculiar instance OF
what can be done by modern taxider1ny
and of the skill III particular that falsi-
fed the old saying, You cannot have
your bird and eat it, = A friend made a
savory stew Of the flesh of a bird of
what species [ have forgotten, and ate
it. He then articulated and set up its
skeleton and afterward constructed an
artificial skeleton on framework, upon
which he shaped and modelled its skin
SO that from one he practically obtained
three birds
At another time, having a tiger rug
to make up, and also tigers head
to furnish for q trademark, he ingen-
iously supplied both from a single pelt
Cutting off the head, he constructed an
other from the white hair upon the I'M
der parts of the ANIMAL which in such
a rug as he designed would otherwise
go to waste. Spots from which the hair
had been worn away he rehaired by
fastening individual hairs, hair after
hair i'll due order, with some adhesive
preparation to the bare hide. After he
had shaped the second head and dyed
1t and co1ored in the black markings
he fastened it to the remaining skin,
and the rug was complete and in every
way fine looking piece Of work I
have only to add that there was no de-
ception i'll the matter, as the purchaser
of the rug knew how it was made

INFLUENCE OF DOORS UPON
THE VOICE.

It is well-known to singers that
perfumes influence the voice. The
violet is regarded by artists as the
flower which especially causes hoarse-
ness. The rose, on the contrary, is
regarded as inoffensive. Nj. Joal, who
has studied the subject, says he does
not believe that the emancipations of
the violet prevent free vibration of
the vocal chords, and thinks that If
this flower has any injurious effect
upon the voice, the rose and other
flowers must have the same action.
There is, in fact, nothing fixed or
regular in the influence exerted by
the perfume of flowers. 1t is
matter of individual susceptibility.
Some are affected by the lilac; others
by the mimosa. Others, again, are in
no manner affected by flowers, musk,
amber, civet, or the various toilet
preparations, but experience obstruc-
ton Of the nose, hoarseness and OPP
preston, from the odors of oils, grass
es, burnt horn, and the emanations
from tanneries and breweries.
1t is very difficult, adds M. Joal, to
furnish an explanation of these pecu-
liarities, and we must content our
selves by regarding them as examples
OF olfactory idiosyncrasy. 1t cannot
be denied that odors may occasion
various accidents and vocal troubles,
especially in persons of nervous tenn
permanent and excessive sensib-lity.

Dig down to the cause of your sickness, If
you want to get well and stay well. Most
likely it's Indigestion The irritating poisons
of fermenting, putrid food left in the stom-
ach by indigestion, cause headache, neural
gia, nervousness, dizziness, stomach ache,
nausea, irritabi1ity, and all other well-known
symptoms of Indigestion.
They also cause many pains and disorders
which are often laid to other causes and hence
are not easily cured. But soon as the
poisons are removed, all these symptoms and
disorders disappear, because there is nothing
left to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it pre-
vents the undigested food from fermenting
in the stomach and helps the stomach to di-
gest it's food.

LADIES' COLUMN.
ETIQUETTE OF WEDDINGS.

A card to the church never entails
gift. If you have cards to the house,
either for the breakfast or reception,
dep ends upon your intimacy with one
or both of the party whether you
send a present if you are unable to
attend
When intimacy or past courtesies
demand present, send one; if your
purse can afford but small amount,
invest that in the best possible way.
But always respond to the church or
to the house, with card, if you are
unable to go. Enclose your visiting
card in an envelope and mail it. No
word is written on it.
This card is addressed to the person
in whose name the invitation is is
sued, whether it be mother, father or
aunt.
The gift is to be sent to the bride.
Do not mail it if you live in the same
town And do not go to the wedding
as guest, with the gift in your hand.
IF you live in the same town it is
better to allow the shopman, from
whom you purchase the intended gift,
to send it to the brides house. Leave
your card with him. He encloses it
with the article in neatly packed
box, and his bearer deposits it at the
BRIDES residence the day before the
wedding.

A NEW METHOD FOR CHLORO-
FORM.

DR.. II. L. Northrop has discovered
reform, which, it is asserted, is less
dangerous than the old, and is not
accompanied by the nausea and other
evil effects that have made its admin
istration so unpleasant.
He says: 1t is vapor of oxygen
passing over into a bottle of chloro-
form and then conducted to the pa
tient, who inhales the gas mixed with
the vapor of the chloroform. 1t takes
three and half minutes to bring
about Inconsistencies. When two
drachms of chloroform are used a
patient will remain unconscious long
enough for the performance of half
hour operation. To resuscitate the
patient pure oxygen is administered,
and consciousness is brought back in
minute with not single evil effect.
The patient feels just as we'll as if
there had been no chloroform admin
istered. When the chloroform is adj
ministered by this method the respi-
ration is scarcely accelerated, and the
breathing is strengthened by the use
of the oxygen. The pulse does not
vary four beats from normal. Ordi-
narily it has been considered danger
Gus to administer cbloroform to pa
tients with slight heart trouble. Ad-
ministered in this new way it does
not seem to affect them at all.

Today we stand with the stigma remov
