Same Train with His Colin.
Robert Richmond, a young man from
st. Louis, was taken sick at Maria, a
small town 400 miles west of here on
the Southern Pacific railroad, says q
San Antonio correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Record. He grew rapidly
worse and became unconscious, and his
attending physician telegraphed the
patients parents in st. Louis that their
son was dying.
The parents wired instructions for
the body to be embalmed and shipped
TO St. Louis. There is no embalmer
and undertaken nearer than San An
tonic and telegram was sent there for
one. The young man was still alive,
but his physician was positive that he
would be dead in al few hours.
The San Antonio undertaken arrived
at Maria next morning and found the
young man still alive. He waited SO
hours and Richmond showed signs OF
improvement.
The undertaken left with the coffin for
San Antonio and Richmondwas brought
there on the same train, arriving at
night. The trip did SO much good that
he will leave the hospital in few days

SOMETHING TO DEPEND UPON

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm
of Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speak
ink of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with la grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden
and Pena could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having Dr. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took a bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed
to do this good work. Try it. Free
trial bottles at F. Kalteyer & Sons
Drug Store.

Thousands of women are cast-ip dead
on the shores of life because of their own
ignorance or neglect. No woman can be
free from pain, or safe from the ever-threat-
ening breakers of death, who neglects to
take proper care of the organs that con-
stitute her woinanhood. A woman who
neglects her womanly-self will be sickly,
nervous, pair-racked and fretful, and APP
preaching maternity will be menace of the
grave. 1t is easy for woman to avoid this
suffering and danger
Wise women know that DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is a marvellous remedy
for those troubles that make a woman's life
miserable, and fill the period of prospect
i've motherhood with fears. 1t is the dis
covery of an eminent and skillful specialist,
DR.. r. v. Pierce, for thirty years chief con-
sulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Over
10000 women have testified to the almost
miraculous action of this wonderful remedy.
1t works directly on the organs distinctly
feminine. 1t makes them strong and
healthy. It cures all weakness and disease.
1t prepares for wifehood and motherhood.
1t insures baby's health and makes its ad-
vent easy and nearly painless Druggists
sell it. Nothing else is Just as good"
Mrs c. A. Connor, of Allegheny Spring, Mont
gomery Co., Va, writes: My daughter, aged IS
years, had goitre coming on her neck and 1t
that it has disappeared after the use Of one bot
tie of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription"

What Causes Soft Butters

Answering this query, the dairy edit
or of the Northwestern Farmer says:
ut would be impossible to diagnose
his case, or suggest a remedy without
a more full description of the food of
the COW etc. There are essentially
three kinds of fat in cows butter.
Olein, resembling olive oil when separ
ated from the others; palmatin, resem-
bling palm oil, and stearine, resem-
bling beef tallow. AS the olein, palm
attn or stearine fat predominates in it,
the butter will be hard or soft. Stear-
inc, of course, is the hard fat, and the
greater percentage of this fat a butter
contains, the harder it will be. Win
ter butter usually contains a higher
percentage of Stearine than does sum
mel butter, and, consequently, a lower
percentage of the soft fats. l find that
the character of the feed very often
has Il great deal to do with the firm
ness or SoftneSs of the butter. Do not
give any feed containing much oil, and
feed only dry, well matured food.
Green corn, exclusively fed, often
makes soft butter, as does also oil
meal when fed in quantities. Try and
keep the cream in a cool place, say not
above 60 deg. F., while it is ripening;
II churn in a temperature that will
bring h butter in not less than thirty
minutes. Then, just as the butter is
breaking, add a little salt and about a
quart of very cold water to every gal
lon of cream"

Venus Long Day.

If the observers at Flagstaff are
right in their conclusions that Mer-
curry and Venus make but one revolu-
ton on their axis during their journey
round h sun, so that each day is IL
year long, these planets cannot be in
haDited by people constituted like those
on the earth. 1t has been supposed
that Venus at least was very similar
to the earth in its phenomena and
characteristics, and might be peoplcd
by much of the same kind of beings;
but a Venus period Of rotation is
nearly the same as that of the earth
it must have six months of uninter-
rupted sunshine and six of continuous
night-conditions which, in the cas- of
the mOon, have been accepted as imply
ing unbearable heat during the day
and uncomfortable cold during the night.
The Flagstaff observers have the best
opportunity for observing this difficult
planet that has yet been given to as
tronomerS, inc their conclusions are,
therefore, most likely to be correct;
but it may be noted that Schroter and
the two Cassinis have all calculated
its revolution to be accomplished in
about twenty-three hours and twenty
INK minutes. The phenomena on
which their calculations are based,
however, We're confesSedly few and m
certain, and if they We're incorrectly
traced the conclusions drawn from
them are necessarily NOTWITHSTANDING.

unwilling TO lose one of the most dis

to cut the nails in Il semi-circle; then

A STRANGE CASE.
Partial Loss of Memory After n Ter
ribIe Railway Accident.


One of the victims of the Atlantic
City meadows RAILROAD horror is Fran
els A. Morrell, who lives with his faith
er at East Orange, n. j. lie is 81 years
old, unmarried, and was, prior to the
accident, connected with the law office
Of his brother-in-laW, George Clymer,
in Newark.
The remarkable feature of the case
is Tic fact that. while slowly returning
to his normal ply steal condition, his
mental condition is such that he re-
calls nothing of the accident. When
spoken to upon the subject of the
collision he denies any recollection of
it, or that he was in it, and attributes
the pain in his head to neuralgia.
He was taken out of the wreck at
a point almost under one of the locOmo-
tives. He reads the newspapers, en-
ters earnestly and in%telligently into Il
conversation, and seems as clear-mind-
ed as any one else, except Oh the sub
ject Of the accident.
When Morrell was taken to Atlantic
City Sanitarium after the accident it
| vas found that he was practically
scalped on the left side of his head,
his ear was torn off with the scalp,
and the skin from the left side of his
face almost around to the point of
his jaw. His left shoulder blade was
badly fractured and the bones Of his
shoulder were broken. His left arm
| was badly injured, his legs were a
mass of bruised and lacerated flesh,
ana he was crushed about the lower
| part of the trunk of his body so badly
as to cause severe internal injuries,
