IL as follows An anthill is sought,
and, when found, u sack is filled With
aus, ants eggs, and, IL it be consid-
cred necessary, a certain quantity of
the earth which composes the hill. The
sack is then clos d hermeticnlly and
carried to the home Of the sufferer. A
warm bath is already prepared here,
and the sack is plunged bodily into the
hot water. Soon this latter begins to
give off a peculiar pungent odor, char
acteristic of formic acid. The bath is
now ready for the patients immersion.
The action of the bath on the skin is
one of intense irl itation, and the result,
to be a drawing out of the evil,
and the consequent disappearance of
The rheumatic pains.

1t is not only in Prosperity, South
Carolina that sacred concerts excite
comment for the citizens Of Perth.
Scotland, are excited over a sacrt d
concert which was held in that city on
a recent Sunday. The town council
held q special meeting to consider the
matter. Speaking on behalf OF the
Sabbatarians, one member declared
that the respectable inhabitants had
been shocked by the occurrence. An.
o,her councillor maintained that it
was far better for young men and wo-
men to attend q sacred concert than
Ito be g~alivanting up and down the
streets on Sunday evening using strong
language that grated upon the ear"
Which remark does not seem compli-
mentary to they young people OF
Perth. He added the statement that
magistrates had done more good
In sanctioning the concert than all the
sermons preached In Perth that Sun
day.

in Dawson City this winter, the danger
being materially lessened by the sending
of hundreds of the inhabitants to Fort

said, would seriously affect the winters

started out once, but when the steamer

GAsHED HIS NOSE.
Counterfeiter Oxle's Plan to Mako Himself
Understandable to Witnesses.

Counterfeiter Oxles Plan to Mako Himself
Unacceptable to Witnesses.
The announcement that Miles Ogle Is
dying of paralysis in the penitentiary at
Columbus, o., recalls an incident that
occurred while the most noted of all coun-
terfeiters was in Jail in Memphis awaiting
trial in the United States district court
Ogle was caught in Cincinnati by the
United States deputy marshals in Deem
Der, 1891, while crossing the bridge from
Newport. He had with him at the time
about 81, 500 in good money, and, being
of how he came into possession Of it, it was
apparent that he obtained the money In
exchange for spurious coin.
Oele was taken to Memphis and was
kept In Jail until his case could be called.
While behind the bars Ogle sent out for a
half pint bottle of whisky. After drink
ing the contents he broke the neck OF the
bottle until q Jagged point presented It,
self, and with this he cut his nose all the
way down tho bridge. The organ and both
of Ogle's cheeks became swollen, and
this Disagreement, increased by large ap-
plications of adhesive plaster, caused Ogle
to become unrecognizable. This was his
object. He knew that with his head swol-
len, bandaged and covered with plaster no
witness could swear to his identity. Ogle
declared that turnkey had struck him on
the nose with one of the large keys, and
many believed this until an examination
Of Ogles cell revealed the broken and
blood covered bottle under the bed. Ogle
was kept in Jail until the swelling had
been greatly reduced and the bandages
and plaster removed.-Louisville Courier
