=SNIPE HUNT
Fn Which a We'll Known Young
 Man was the Victim.

lContibutedl
 This is a most important and interesting story. It Is worth read ing and thinking about.
 Last night when the streets were erowdedwtth breeze-searching prom enaders, bfessrs Joe and Jake Dante, Wm Morris Rosenw ciz, Jake Roches- tein and Joseph Gobn having no other sport to indulge in, made a suggestion that they go snipe hunt ing sam Nichols, young boy about IS years old-snid he would like to accompany them This was mo more than the crowd wanted, it was time that real good fortune knocked at their doors. Nichol who has been in tifis country only three or four years, never had the pleasure Of going on a snipe hunting expedition.
 The necessary articles were se- cured, consisting of a large bran sack and 9 small wax candle. The crowd having told Sam: that they would stay together, because the woods was full of wild eats. They repaired to q place about two miles back of the Catholic cemetary lit the candle and told sam to hold the sack open, which hedid. The others in the party stationed themselves at different places in the woods.
 Occasionally some one wo,dd cry out mee-owl mee-ow! until fnall, Sam's hair stood on end. Thinking he would be devoured by wild cats. he yelled. and yelled, for his com panions, but to no avail. He said Co himself, "a good run is better than had stand" SO away he went, splitting the wind at mile a minute gait He says he asked an old negro woman tine way to town and she told him one mile and half He also says he ran at least two hours without stopping, and when he reached his home he was almost exhausted and could hardly speak.

Or. SHRADY ON VENTILATION.
Some Venerable THEORIES on This Subject
That Have Been Exploded.

The effect Of expired air upon animal
life is the subject Of an interesting arti-
Gle in The Medical Record by DR..
George f. Shrady, its editor. "We need
not" says DR.. Shrady. "emphasize the
evil effects Of what is usually called bad
ventilation. 1t Is perhaps true that
acute diseases are not to be traced to
the same. but it may be safely stated
that there Is a distinct deterioration Of
vital forces in those who are constantly
subjected to the impure atmosphere Of
badly ventilated rooms. The cause Of
the sickening sensation which comes
over US upon entering an atmosphere
contaminated with many breaths or Of
the gradual deterioration Of the vital
forces which follows confinement in such
an atmosphere Is not known. For a
number OF years prior to 1888 the view
prevailed that the discomfort and dau-
ger to health and life in badly ventilat.
cd rooms were largely due to organic
matters contained In the air expired,
and that the increase in carbonio acid
due to respiration has but little effect in
producing the bad results. Recently,
however, several experimenters have
concluded that the organic matters In
the exhaled breath are not harmful, at
least to animals. "
Referring to recent experiments on
the subject, DR.. Shrady says: 1.-THE re.
suits justify the conclusion that the dis.
comfort felt in crowded, Ill ventilated
rooms Is not due to excessive carbonic
acid or to bacteria or in most cases
to dusts Of any kind. but Is in reality
due to excessive temperature and I'M
pleasant odors. Nothing in these ex-
periments shows tho cause Of the I'M.
pleasant. musty odor of an unventilated
room, and attention is called to the
curious fact that cases Of fainting in
crowded rooms usually occur in women
and are connected, the authors think,
with defective respiratory action due
to tight lacing Finally these investi-
cations. the authors declare. 60 to prove
that some Of the theories upon which
modern systems Of ventilation are based
are either without foundation or doubt
full. and that the problem of securing
comfort and health in inhabited rooms
requires the consideration of the best
methods Of preventing or disposing Of
dust of various kinds. Of regulating
temperature and moisture and Of carry
ing Off poisonous gases derived from
heating and lighting apparatus rather
than Of simply diluting the air to GER
tain standard Of proportion of carbonio
acid present."

A Delicious Dish.

The remains Of rare steak NAV be
made into an excellent DISH Chop the
meat fine, and for each cup of meat add
tablespoonful of chopped ham and hall

No matter how busy one may be, it il
quite possible to always find time to al
tend to ones toilet at night. One should
not simply drop ones clothes and tumble
into bed, else neither ones self nor the

dash of cologne, and give your face Il

refreshing as an hours sleep. Brush the
hair for twenty minutes; it will be CLOS
sier and thicker for the trouble, and your
nerves will be soothed by the process.

First a Mole,
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter
ror in its path as Cancer-and well
may this dreadful affection be regarded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
life's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is powerless,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resorting TO the knife Tor
a cure of this terrible disease. Can
Ger is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-rine cases
out of hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not i'll the same place, in
the same locality. and is far more ma
lignant than before. The same is true
of attempts to remove the cancer by
means of caustic plasters, etc, and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is cure for cancer-one
which gets at the scat of the disease,
and removes its cause. :. $. s. is the
only real blood remedy, and cures cam
Ger and all other blood diseases, even
after other treatment has failed.
One of the well-known residents of
Macon, Ca, is Mr.. II. Powers, the con-
tractor and builder. who lives at SIS
Ross street. For twenty years Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely from
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope of
ever being cured.
