The Scientific American gives
this receipt which the whole world
ought to know. At 1he first indi-
cations of diphtheria in the throat
of child, make the room close, then
take lineup and pour into 1t a
quantity of tar andturpentine, equal
parts. Hold the cup over the fire SO
las to fill the room with fume, and
the child will cough and spit out all
the membraneops matter and the
diphtheria will pass out. The fumes
of the tar and tuH,intine loosens the
matter in the throat and thus affords
the relief that baffled the physicians
skill.

a REMARKABLE CONFESSION.

How shall l describe to You what I
found in the New Testament? 1 had not
read 1t for many years, and was prejudic-
ed against 1t before | took it in hand.
The light which struck Paul with blind
ness on his way to Damascus was not
more strange, more surprising to him
than 1t was to me when | suddenly dis
covered the fultilment of all hopes, the
highest perfection of philosophy, the ex-
PLANTATION of all revelations the key to all
the seeming contradictions of the physi-
cal and moral world. l saw religion APP
pear at the moment most favorable 10 It's
appearance, and in manner most adapted
to its acceptance. The whole world
seemed to be ordered for the sole purpose
OF furthering the religion of the Redeem
er, and if this religion is not divine

no books on the subject, but in all my
studies of the ancient times | have al

thoughtful words are commended to those
who make light of the Bible and who
despise Christianity. There is no greater
fool than ne who regards the Bible as a
fable and Christ's religion as a delusion.

THE CRICknTs.
The Old Miner From Arizona Knows
How Fast They Can Travel.

How Fast They Can Travel.
The truth of the following tale can
not be vouched for. 1t ought to be
unexpectedly is, as it was told the
other day to small party in an up
town club by an old mining engineer
just from Arizona, who has hereto
fore always borne a reputation for
veracity
You know" he said, chat one of
the most troublesome qualities about
giant powder which we use in our
work is the fact that the conclusion
caused by one explosion, explodes any
other powder which happens to be near
at hand. Fatal accidents are often the
result. And yet this same quality al
lowed me to ascertain what 1 often de-
sired to know-just how fast cricIzets
migrated. They travel eight miles an
hour, gentlemen. I found it out this
way. Last summer an old miner and
myself were making our way across
one of the plains near Prescott to a
claim some miles distant. Night came
on before we reached our destination.
and we were compelled to build a fire
on the trail and fix ourselves until day
light came. We had with US three
sticks of gialld powder, which, for safe
tvs sake, we carefully laid on the trail
about 100 yards from our fire.
Towards 10 o'clock we began to be
disturbed by great number of those
big Arizona crickets, which were fol-
lowing the trail across the plains. They
came by thousands, solemnly walking
in single file. We knew that it was no
use to disturb them, and so let them
go by undisturbed. An hour passed and
still they came
"At length 1 reached out to throw
a stick of wood into the fire: and as
did so l brushed cricket into the
flames. Instantly there was a loud ex-
plosion that scattered ashes all over
me. Then came another-bang bang,
bang! My companion and I jumped to
our feet and gazed down the trail It
was simply a line of fire as explosion
followed explosion. 1t kept up until
we could trace the devastation by the
flashes of light. The last died away
in about twenty minutes We hurried
to where we had left our powder. and
found but a small stick, all gnawed
left. Then we knew the crickets had
dined on it as they passed The fire
and conclusion had done the rest.
ION the next day we kept along the
trail and found it strewn with the legs
and heads of dead crickets. The last
corpse was found just eight miles from
where we had camped. An hour had
between the arrival of the
head of the line and the disaster.
Hence my conclusion that crickets
travel eight miles an hour

NOVEL CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

Police Justice Morrison of Rockfort, ILL.,.
has hit upon a novel scheme for dealing
with drunkards fitch is not likely to be
adopted in this city, says the New York
World. In his town, as in every town
where liquor licenses are granted, are
ing drunk and disorderly. This stereo-
typed method of dealing with them is to
send them up for ten days if they are
unable TO pay the fine imposed Few
nave money with which to pay fines and
thus their families are deprived of even
the wretched support they could give
during the ten days. When such an in
veterate appears before the Illinois justice
he looks him over and says:
If / let you go will you promise upon
your honor to report at police head
quarters three times day to show that
you are keeping sober?"
The prisoner will promise to do any,
thing rather than go to Jail. He appears
at police headquarters morning, moor and
night, where an officer with powerful
nose for whisky smells his breath. If he
is sober he is allowed to go his way, but if
he shows traces of intoxication he is
taken as a sign that he has lapsed, and
ne is searched for throughout the city.
When found he is landed in jail and made
to serve out ten days sentence
The plan is working like a charm Rare
ly does a Rockford drunkard fall during
the period that he has promised TO re-
port at police quarters. Another and a
good result has been the breaking I'D of
the fixed habits of desperate old topers.

WALL STREET..

New York, May 9.-The usual cover
ing movement incident to the half hol-
iday was noted today in the stock mar
ket. There was absolutely no news
bearing on the financial situation, but
the appearance of very moderate COM
mission orders helped a. cheerful senti-
ment. The market opened higher, but
soon eased off fraction under real
izing orders. The inquiry from the
shorts, however, served to sustain
values, and on the subsequent opera
lions some sharp advances were scored.
The absence of foreign selling and a
slightly higher tendency in American
stocks in London was favorahly re-
garded. The Industrial list furnished
the chief movements sharp rallies be-
ing noted in some of the shares which
had suffered severely in the depression
early in the week. The grangers and
other leading railway shares were fea-
tureless. The export probabilities were
but lightly touched upon, but bankers

All my fair correspondents seem to dread

Gentle readers, you need not be in the
least alarmed. or, rather, you may recog-
nize at once, for your comfort, that there
are many things in which husband
must have his own way, and as many in
which you must have yours. Consider, if
you please, that the man is out and at
work all day long; in the evening he
wants calm, we'll regulated home or a
little society. Remember also, that the
most ideal of all men will still retain
the masculine love OF dinner daintiIy
served and well prepared never yet
knew a man worth his salt who was IN
different to his dinner-and remember that
the most ideal husband in the world will
still retain masculine desire that his wife
shall be always well dressed and looking
her best and brightest. If he is successful
1t is his wife who receives the harvest of
his labors. Remember what he does for
you-it is his obedience to you that makes
him work SO hard and then, 1 think, you

NEW YORK, May 9.-The New York
Financier says this week: The state
ment OF the associated banks of New
York City for the week ending May 8
is in marked contrast to the one pre-
ceding it. The change is due mainly Ito
the continued exports of gold, which
have drawn from the banks large
amount of funds which otherwise would
have been counted in the excess re-
serve. The noteworthy expansion in
loans of SO, 1893, 200 was also an appre-
ciable factor in this connection, and
was one Of the most favorable features
Of the statement, indicating, as 1T does,
a demand to a great extent from mer-
camille sources. The market for loans
during the week was on steadier ba-
sis, despite the gold shipments, and the
demand for commercial paper is, with
out doubt, increasing, and the business
of the banks has taken on a broaden
ing character. Another event which
has had a bearing on the situation has
been the payment of several millions
in the sub-treasury by the government
depository banks, so that altogether
the weeks operations prevented an &C
cumulation of interior funds. which are
still moving heavily in this direction,
and reduced the apparent surplus re-
serve of the preceding week. The pres
ent condition of the market is more
normal than at this time last year or
the year previous. The surplus reserve
on May II. 1895. stood at S31. 100000, and
on May 70, 1894, at SS0,O00,000, which
shows the changed conditions to a
nicely The Immediate future of the
New York money market rests largely
on the continuance and amount of
gold exports, the disposition of the re-
manning government funds in national
banks, and the extent of the move
ment of interior funds. The apparent
growing demand for loans is also
certain factor. 1t IS doubtful whether
the statement reflects in full the real
changes of the week. The reported loss
in legal tenders was 81, S35, 200 and the
increase in deposits was 81, 400 The
banks gained in specie S135, 800, and the
excess reserve stands at S20,243, ass.

market. The Ohio crop reported the
