Life In Bagdad.

John Punnett Peters. in his book, Nip pur, or Explorations oii the Euphrates," !" says:
 "One of the unpleasant features of life in Bagdad is the so called Bagdad date mark, the same which Fisc known else where as the 'Aleppo button. This is . boil which attacks the face or the extrem- ities. It appears in two forms, known to the natives as male and female respec- lively. Tho former is dry, scaly sore, the latter running open boil It is not pain full, but leaves ugly scars. Tho natives all carry somewhere on the face, neck, hands, arms or feet the sccTg of these boils which they have had as children European chill drcn born in the country are apt to be dreadfully dis1gured, us in their case the boils invariably appear on the face, and, whereas native children have as rule but one boil, those born of European par ents are sure to have several. Adult for eignors visiting the country are liable to be attacked, and women rarely escape dis fgurement. The cause of the disease has never been ascortained nor q cure found"

Baptist church held a seting after the services and condemned the murderers in very stormy language.
 The following resolutions were una ni- mously adoptsd:
 Whereas, in the first session of the Baptist congress held in the Columbus Street Baptist church. at Montgomery Ala, July 2S. 1897. a grand man, Prof. F. H. Patterson, was cowardly murdered. And, whereas, he. in his manful efforts to maintain clean pulpit, the sanctfty of our homes, the character of our boys, and the virtue of our women. lost his mo- ble life.
 Therefore. be it resolved that we, the SiNteerdh StleU Baptist church, now as- sembled, Co declare that he, in this manly cause, represent ed the better element of sthe Baptist omdnai lon in labama. r. Resolved, that We thank God for the | righteous sentiments which burned in his breast and for which cause he died Resolved, further, tflaG we deeply de- ploIe ihe loss of such a pcincvly hero, [ who, after eight wars of usefulness, laid down his valuable life for a noble cause.

JOE powNeps SEA SERPENT.

That's how the Chicago newspapers de. scribe it-Joe Downey' s sea serpent. Mir. Downey is a veracious citizen of North Chicago, and here is his story:
 My entire family was down on the beach back of the house Thursday night just about dusk. Suddenly from out tho gloom we heard an awful yelling, and, looking in the direction of North Chicago, we saw two men running down the beach attired only in bathing suits. One of them yelled, Have you seen itp' meaning, as l thought, a wreck of some kind. finally cooled the fellow down, and he pointed to the lake. There I saw big black some- thing-I won't attempt to tell what it was, for I never saw any animal like it be- fore-gliding through the water. It was somo kind of an animal, and big one at that. Oh, there Is no fake about it It was about 30 feet long, and the head and neck were black and out of the water most of the time, though it would disappear at times and then come back again. dis like to talk about 1t because all the papers treat 1t as big fake.
 "Yes, said Mrs. Downe7, "the papers think they have the joke on us, but we know that we have the joke on them. That animal will be heard from again. ''
 "We watched it for 20 minutes or half an hour, when it became too dark to see it any longer," continued Mir. Downey. "The last I heard of it was a splash of its tail, which mado me think that storm was coming up.
 "The lake was as smooth as glass until. that animal came along, and, although it was 200 feet away, the waves came in Is inches high whenever he'd make quick move. He was continually diving and reappearing.
 "One unusual thing that noticed par ticularly was that the water close to shore was alive with schools of large fish, some thing which never has happened before. They must have been scared in from the deeper water by this monster. Another thing that think is strange is the disap- pearanco of tho carcass of large mastiff which was lying on the beach Thursday night. The next morning it was gone. The sand was all scratched mp, but this could not lave been done by COWS, for there are barbed wire fences which would prevent them from getting to that spot.

Astronomy from saturn.

One often secs in articles on astronomy some reference to tho grandeur of tho Sa turnian heavens at night where, in addi tion to the starry host familiar to us all, would be the wonderful ring spanning the sky as an arch of goldon light and eight moons in their various phases. In meas ure this is true, but it depends upon cir. cumstances. During the summer half of the year in either hemisphere the illumi- mated side of the rings is, of course, visible perhaps even faintly so in tho daytime, us as is the case with onr iiioon-but when the twilight falls and tho golden arch shines forth in all it's beauty ngainst the darkness of the sky it must certainly be q sight which for grandeur surpasses any celestial phenomenon known to us, sdVe possibly a total eclipse of the sun. a..
 As soon as the sun has set, however, the shadow of the planet, where it falls upon tho rings, risos in the cast and mars the beauty of the arch as it travels across it during the short night and disappears in the west at sunrise. At the summer sol stice, though, tho sun rises high enough in the heavens, or, more correctly, the planet axis is inclined far enough toward the sun to bring tho outer ring clear of tho shadow, which then appears somewhat conical in shape and reaches across the in- ner bright ring nearly to the outer one.- Popular Science Monthly. e- e tts-

 Shortly after dark he was taken up to the rooms of Mrs. Warner. Ih moaned and tossed all during the night. , Early yesterday morning he told Mrs. Warner that he was surely dying He asked for ica several times and drank considerable cold water.
 Rev. P. A. O'Reilly was with him dur ing the night and yesterday morning. On the last visit Mr. Sewan received the : last sacraments of the church.
 About noon yesterday he arose and partly dressed himself saying that he would go down on the street. As he stood erect he gasped. then fell back ward across .he bed.

LIVELY LUCY BRADBURY.

Mrs. John Bradbury, whose elopement with the Englishman Ward has been the talk of the Pacific coast, is not more than a2 years old, and yet she is probably the best known woman on the Pacific coast. Her beauty and toilets, her horses and her entertainments and her romantic ad- ventures have made her the subject of newspaper notoriety for years. She was the youngest child of John Banning of Los Angeles, California pioneer, who made fortune.
 She is unquestionably ono of the most beautiful blond women in tho world. Such is the generous climate of California that

made in the open. There are some dis eases that are like pickpockets. They are siieaks. If men only knew it, these sneaking diseases are more to be dreaded than small -pox or yellow fever. The sneaking disease begins with some slight disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac- ton of the bowels. The blood becomes disordered and the body receives insuffi- cient or improper nutriment. Emacia- tion follows and the sufferer is troubled with nervous prostration, brain flag, and debility and very likely falls victim to that dread destroyer, consumption. All this happens before the sufferer fairly realizes that he is ill danger.
 These sneaking diseases that undermine a mans constitution, and rob him of his health are conquered by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It puts strength into every fiber of the body and replaces the'lethargy of sickness with the buoyancy of health. It is the best blood- maker and fesh-builder known to science.
 MT. A. ". caynes, of Elkhart, Elkhart O.. Indiana, writes:t"I send you testimonial in regard to pr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and what it did for me in acute inflammation of the liver. about six years ago, when had an at. tack in Los Angeles, Cal, and also one since came here. consider Dr. Pierce s Golden Med ical Discovery one of the best medicines offered to, a suffering people today.

 when Lucy Banning came back from Paris, where she had finished her educa- ton, at 16 she was D grown woman in ev- cry respect. At this time she was engaged to the son of Wall street banker whom. she had met in Parie but that did not pre- vent her from becoming the belle of Los Angeles immediately. Conspicuous among her admirers was John Bradbury, the richest catch of California
 There was some talk of marriage soon after the two met, but parental objections on the score of short acquaintance and ex- treme youth postponed an engagement for year. Lucy Banning wont to visit friends in San Francisco, and John followed. A certain restaurant in San Francisco is noted for its private supper rooms, delicate cooking and an air of fascinating wicked ness Miss Banning had heard many stories about this resort and persuaded John to take her to quiet little lunch at the place. She slipped away from her hostess and met him clandestinely. After the lunch they both sat at the tablesin si- lence Finally each urged the other to tell what he or she was thinking of, and after some hesitation they exchanged gSnotes across the table. Both notes read, e'Let us run of and get married" It was then about 4 o'clock, but by a liberal use, of the telegraph and cab hire n license was secured, minister found, and Mn and Mrs. John Bradbury returned to his rooms in the Palace hotel. go
 In the morning Mrs. Bradbury lacked even the necessary articles to make her toilet. John stepped across the way to the Tiffany of the Pacific coast and returned, followed by two men with a silver toilet set big enough to fill a trunk. After they came home and were forgiven he bought small but elegant house, engaged highly bred old Spanish lady as duenna and housekeeper and settled down.7ai4ssf

T
 chair is painless He thus describes his sensations in an interview in a local news paper:
 "A sudden shock is first felt as if some one has struck you on the head with heavy mallet. There is no pain. The brain feels benumbed Bright lights dance and flash before your eyes. Your head feels abnormally large, somewhat like that of person when troubled with vertigo. A heavy weight seems to be bearing down upon yonr head The pulse Is high, and an exhilarated feeling takes possession of you You feel as If you were treading the air with everything around you in a blank You are alone-the only being, the only object, the only tangible thing. in the universe You gradually sink into in sensibility.-
 "A fierce shock suddenly passes through your entiro system. You are again struck on the head with the nallet the same bright lights dazzle before your eyes, and then all is blank. This second shock is caused by the withdrawal of electrifioation, or, as commonly expressed, the turning off of the current.
 The tests which MT. Tyler made were as thorough as lie dared to undertake. Tho head olectrodc only was used The current was gradually and cautiously turned on. He was electrified to about one-eightieth part of an ampere. Another subject upon whom 1t was tried was made insensible. A number of physicians took part in the experiments. 4tt
 .''In these tests electrif1cation was very gradually increased" said Mir. Tyler, "but in cases of execution by electricity the identification is instantanoously max mum, consequently it is safe to assume that the subject experiences none of these sensations. Ho is instantly rendered in sensible. '
