And Still Another Schlatter.

Just now Vermont seems TO be ri
valing the "wild and woody West
in the way of producing healers who
heal by the laying on of hands, and
Windham county is taking first place.
Our neighboring town of Jamaica is
the proud possessor Of the latest phe-
nomenon of this character in the per-
son of Manly Rawson. Mr.. Raw
son is a farmer, past the middle of
life, who resides midway between the
village and Rawsonville and is well
known 10 this section from the fact
that in times past he devoted consid-
erable time to peddling. According
to accounts that reach us Mr.. Raw
son has effected some remarkable
cures among his neighbors. One in
stance is reported of neighbor who
came to him SO badly afflicted with
rheumatism that he was unable to
take his coat off or put it on. The
first treatmetnt gave him entire re-
lief and he has had no touch OF it
since. Other remarkable cases are
reported. Mr.. Rawson, unlike New
ell. is free to assert that he can effect
cures. He makes positive claims
that he can cure rheumatism, neural
gia, affections of the head, diseases
resulting from colds, including pneu.
monia, etc. Rawson claims that this
is no new thing with him as he has
possessed this power for q number OF
years and has practiced it occasionly
but kept it from the general public
owing to opposition in his family.
Perhaps there are more things in
heaven and earth than are dreamed
of in our philosophy but we will walt
and see.

A man we'll known in Windsor county,
LIVING in Gaysvlle, Vt, says:
''It gives me great pleasure to testify
for Smiths Rheumatic Cure. My
moi her-in-law, Mrs. Geo. w. Colston Of
Woodstock had been troubled with rheu-
matism for twenty years or more, and be-
ing on visit there, told me she was TAX
ing the third bottle and that she had not
been so well for years, so / bought four
bottles and began taking it. There had
not been day or night when l was free
from pain for more than one year. After
taking your Cure three days the pain was
all gone and l could rest nights. | had
taken many remedies before but none
ever gave me such relief"
w. G. SAWYER.
Another one says:
''About two months ago I was suffer-
ing with rheumatism or neuralgia which
caused such pain in my side that l was
obliged to apply hot water bags every
night TO obtain rest. I have taken one
and one half bottles of Smiths Rheumat-
ic Cure and the pain in my side has al
most left me. and my health is better
than for the past two years. The medi,
cine gave me a good appetite and l can
see that am gaining daily.

An Idea.

All people of broad. strong sense
hsye an instructive repuguance to the
men or women Of maxims, because such
people early discern that the mysterious
complexity of our lite is not to be en-
braced by maxins, and that to lace
ourselves up in formulas of that sort is
to repress all the divine promptings and
inspirations that spring from growing
insight and sympathy. And the man
or woman of maxim is the popular rep.
resentative of the minds that are guided
in their. moral judgment solely by gen.
eral rules, thinking that these will lead
them to justice by ready-made patent
method, without the trouble OF exerting
patience, discrimination or impartiality.
Without any care to assure themselves
whether they have the insight that
comes from hardly-earned estimate Of
temptation, or from life vivid and in
tense enough to have created wide
fellow feeling with all that is human.

NAPOLEON The FOURTH.

A boy Who May Some Day Become EN-
peror of the French.
Ina big old chateau justoutside of Par
is lives 14-year-old boy who may some
day be the emperor of France. The
latter country is so unsettled in it's poll
tics, and there are so many of its inhab-
itants who would rather be ruled by an
emperor than by president elected by
the people, that it is not wholly impos-
sible that the youth here described may
not some day be an imperial successor
to the throne of the great Napoleon l..
Indeed, the boy is none other than Ma

prince imperial.

.asion Oilers, says the New York Mail and
Express.
The attention OF the New York nospl,aI
surgeons has been called to tho large num-
Der Of bartenders that have lost several
fingers OF both hands within the past few
years.
The first cAse was that OF nm employe Of a
Bowery concert-hall. Three fingers OF his
right pand and two Of his left were rotted
away when he called at Bellevue one day
and asked the doctors to explain the reason
He said his duty was to draw beer for tho
thousands who visited the garden nightly,
The man was In perfect health otherwise
and 1t took the Young doctors quite time to
arrive at conclusion. But they did finally,
and IL nearly took the beer mans breath
away when they did.
"Your fingers have been rotted on" they
said, "by the beer you have handled"
Other cases of n similar nature camo
rapidly after this one, and to-day the ply
ncians estimate that there is an army OF
employees OF saloons whose fingers are being
ruined by the same cause. The acid and
rosin IN the beer are said to be respon-
sible.
The head bartender OF weil-known
saloon says he knows a number OF cases
where beer-drawes have. in addition TO
losing several fingers OF both hands, lost
the Use OF both members.
''Ijeer will rot iron, believe" he added.
