county ciricut court. During all the
hours of her visit and while writing she
always occupied this plain poplar

with her book the chair was preserved

from Mrs. Fishback to Mrs. Grant and
Mrs. Swing, then to Miss Miller; from
her to Mrs. G. Anderson, who left the
chair in charge of Mr.. Lou Buerkle, in
whose possession it now remains

TREATMENT OF HIVES.
An Annoying AiIment Which AHlicts
Children in Summer.

An Annoying AiIment Which Amicts
Children in Summer.
About this time of year children are
apt to be troubled more or less with
hives. Usually they are not a menace to
life, but they are IA great discomfort to
the child and it's mother. All are IA
miliar with this condition so it need
not be described at length. They sud-
denly flash out on seemingly healthy
skin and as suddenly disappear. They
are at first of a pinkish red color, soon
changing to deep red. If rubbed they
become surrounded by whitish ring
which has given to them the appropriate
name 'wheals." They are intensely
itchy and almost drive a child frantic.
The most urgent indication is 10 allay
the irritation; this may be done with
varying degrees of success with various
applications. A favorite remedy is a
saturated solution of bicarbonate of
soda-ordinary baking soda. Possibly
a better remedy is pulveriZed boracic
acid dissolved in glycerine or cosmo-
line and lightly rubbed over the surface.
A remedy have used with satisfaction.
though it has very disagreeable odor,
is solution of carbolic acid. tea
spoonful to pint of water, the mix
ture to be shaken for Is minutes to get
the acid thoroughly broken up. A good
authority gives these directions for the
relief of this affection. Wash the child
with soda water, then dip the finger in
castor oil and battle each individual
hive. rubbing the oil well into the skin.
The cause of hives is generally found
in the digestive tract, so the diet and
bowels should be carefully looked to.
One of the saline purgatives should be
given to carry off any undigested mate
rial that may be present, then all rich
and heating foods should be withheld.
The child should be kept. as still as
possible to avoid overheating the
blood.-Home Monthly.

The Famine in india.

In an article on the Famine in In
dia," in the North American Review,
Sir Edwin Arnold states that 115,000,-
900 of people in that vast country de-
pend on the rainfall upon l26,500.00
acres which falls upon the whole dur
ing two seasons in the year. If it fails,
there is a failure of crops over the en-
tire area. In this country no drought
covers the entire country; there it
does. Equally interesting to us is the
further statement that all the good
ground has been taken up in India-a
fact which should silence the fears of
wheat growers that India has many
millions of uncultivated wheat lands
Besides. the customs of the people pre-
vent larger and better cultivation. The
farmer uses a pointed stick as pillow,
as did his ancestors 5000 years ago,
and tills only as much land as can be
easily reached from his village resi-
dence, morning and evening, by his
slow-moying cattle.

ence from British Hands.
The capture, invasion and burning Of
our national capital by British forces
under Admiral Cocl1burn are graphical
ly recalled by Clifford Howard. Mr..
Howard lucidly tells of the incidents
leading up to the invasion, and
pictures the terror and excitement
of the people of Washington, who
fed, shouting, screaming, jostling
one another under foot, into Vir-
ginia as the enemy approached.
President Madison had gone to the
front, andhi wife was anxiously await
ing his return, in fear for his safety.
The white house attaches had nearly
all deserted their posts, but Mrs. Madi-
son had packed all her husbands papers
and records, and as she was about to
abandon the house bethought herself
of Gen. Washington's portrait. The
heavy frame inclosing it was broken
by a servant with an ak, and she re-
moved the canvas with her own hands,
keeping it from falling into the hands
of the enemy.

"iust as she was in the act of hurry

with an inspiration that will ever cause
her name to live in the heart of every
true American. She stopped to think.
What if the white house should be
burnedf Did it contain anything of
value to the government that she had
neglected? The declaration of in
dependence? In a fash she called to
mind this most precious of all docu-

apart from other papers 1t had been
overlooked in the worriment and con-
fusion. 1t must be saved at all hazards
without a moments hesitation she
turned and rushed back into the house.
'Stopl for heavens sake, stop' cried her
friends, vainly endeavoring to intercept
her. Regardless of their commands,
regardless of her danger, the brave
woman sped to the room containing the
treasure for which she was willing to
sacrifice her life. Without attempting
to open the glazed door of the case she
shattered the glass with her clenched
hand, snatched the priceless parchment,
and, waing it exultantly above her head,
hurried to the door. where she entered
her carriage and was rapidly driven

Representatives in Germany of Amer
lean manufacturers and the United
States Consuls in this country have no.
ticed lately a great deal of dishonesty
upon the part of German manufact-
urers, especially at Chemitz, Frankfort,
Sonneburg and in the Rhine districts.
Consul Monaghan of Chemnitz has just
sent a report to Washington, giving the
facts and Names not only in regard to
initiating United States goods and pat
ent infringements, but also regarding
incorrect invoices Mr.. Parker, a pat
ent lawyer of Chicago, has begun suits
in the German courts against a number
of the worst offenders. Robert Grim
shaw, representing a number of Amer
lean iron and machine concerns, joins
in the complaints.
The favorite methods of these dis
honest German manufacturers and
dealers is to obtain first by contract
the exclusive representation of valua-
bic American machines, and to secure
specimens of these machines. Next,
they abandon all effort to sell any of
them, but instead they initiate them
closely and place machines on the mar
ket at two-thirds of the American
prices. Some of these manufacturers
have even had the boldness to enter the
counterfeited articles, and even the
American articles themselves enameled
over, at exhibitions here and elsewhere.
One case is recorded where some
Bridgeport lock stenciling was re-
moved and enameled afresh, and they
were entered into competition for
prize.
