Cures Rheumatism.

My experience with the hMechest-
nut as a cure for rheumatism" said a
New York Bishop to Star reporter,
was all on the side of the horse
chestnut, and it has been the same
witha number of persons to whom |
recommended it. l had often heard
OF the value of the horse chestnut,
but had never tried it myself until
during the first term of President
Cleveland. l was spending the day
at the White House, and just before
dinner with the President took a
walk in the grounds Immediately
south of the Executive Mansion. 1t
was during the first week in October.
Passing near chestnut tree, l picked
up two or three handsome buckeyes
and was about putting them in my
pocket, intending keep them for some
Children up in Albany, to whom had
promised to take some souvenirs of
Washington The President noticed
my action and remarked, Those
nuts, they say, will cure rheumatism,
and many people down this way have
great faith in them l answered that
l had often heard of their value in
that connection, but that my purpose
in gathering them was to give them
to some children who l knew would
appreciate them, from the fact that
they grew in the White House ground.
At the time l was suffering from a
rheumatic attack which though mild
in comparison with some l had had,
was sufficient to remind me that l was
not free from pain. On the suggestion
of the President l picked up some
more and put them in my pockets
1t was week or more before l re-
turned to Albany but by the time l
got there my rheumatism had disap-
peared. l gave all The nuts away ex-
cept two. which l carried for some
months, one in each trousers pocket
Since then l have never gone a day
without a horse chestnut in my pock-
ct getting a fresh supply each year
from n clerical friend who resides
there. Physicians have told me that
the virtue in them is from the sui
phur they contain, and that the sui
phur is absorbed into the SYSTEM

SHOPPING.

She screamed in terror when her
purse
Was snatched from out her jeweled
hand
And hurled modest semi curse
Toward the fleeing bold brigand.
And when the copper caught the thief
She seized the purse with anxious
air,
And breathed sigh of sweet relief
To find her treasures all were there:
A penciled note
Her fellow wrote,
A sugar plum,
A wad of gum,
A hair pin (bent),
A copper cent
A button hook,
With broken crook;
A safety pin,
A curlin' tin,
A powder rag,
A sachet bag,
These were the treasures which she
bore
Around with her from store to store,
While on a shopping tour to see
The many pretty things which she
Would love to buy II she but had
1he cash, and with a smile SO glad
1t almost made the copper sneeze,
She thanked him, and with sprightly
ease
Tripped on to seek another store
Or two where she could shop. some
more.

What Becomes of the Pins.

Every individual who lives to grow
up has in all probability asked, at
time in his life, what becomes of all
the pins that are manufactured and
lost. An old gentleman in London has
prepared himself to answer the ques-
tion. By series of experiments con-
Quoted in his garden he has discover
ed nat they go the way of all flesh,
and are resolved into dust. Hair-pins
which he watched for one hundred
and fifty four days disappeared at the
end of that time, having been resolved
into a ferrous oxide, a brownish rust,
which was blown away by the wind as
it formed; bright pins took nearly
eighteen months to disappear; pol
1shed steel needles, nearly two years
and a half; brass pins had but little
endurance; steel, pens at the end of
fifteen months had nearly gone, while
their wooden holders We're still intact
Pencils, with which he also expert
mented, suffered little by exposure;
the lead was unharmed, and the cedar
almost as good as new; but then no.
body has ever asked the question
about pencils, and he might have
spared himself his pains.-Harpers

The Worlds Wheat-SunnIv.

Sir William Crooke's declaration be-
fore the British Association that the
world is fast outgrowing it's wheat
supply has not been everywhere ac-
corded the respectful credence that
the calculations of so eminent a
scientist might be expected to obtain.
Sir Villains opinion is that in an
other thirty-three years population
will have SO increased that, unless ag-
ricultural processes are greatly i'm
proved "a good many persons will
have to go without bread. His fig
ures are disputed in two particulars.
1t is held that the population of the
earth won't increase as fast as he
fears, and it is also held that his es-
Inmates of the total possible wheat
lands of he earl. is great deal to
small. There will be a great deal
more wheat, his critics say, than he
thinks, and very much fewer folks to
eat it. Secretary Wilson, of our Ag-
ricultural Department, is one of the
experts who dispute his conclusions,
on the ground tnat he has upderrated
the capacity OF the United States for
rr--oducing breadstutfs to meet any de-.
mand.
Sir Williams scientific prophecies
are especially Interesting because the
time fhteir fulillment is so near at
hand. The majority q US grown-ups
will be careless Of wheat crops before
1881, but general scarcity prevailing
as soon as that will be matter of
real Importance to our children. But
after ali, the most Of the worry
OF the world is about things
that don't happen. There Is enough
wheat to last US another year, any
how, and prospects Of more after that.
Thirty years! What shall we care
or wheat then! BY that time the
Standard Oil Company will have ac-
quired control of such parts OF the un-
iverse as it still lacks, and all Of us
who are at all capable will be working
for it, and the responsibility of keep
ing us alive will rest with our employ
er. Let Mr.. Rockefeller brood over
Sir William Crookes predictions; it's
no funeral Of ours.-Harper's Weekly

We WANT TO TELL YOU
Why Your Back is lane-Why II
Aches and Pains, and How to
Cure tI.

Do You know what it is to have a
back that is never free from aches and
constant pain, Il lame back, a sore
back, an aching back, in fact, back
that makes your life burden? What
have you done for it. and does it still
keep you from the happiness that per-
feet health brings to all? We know
full we'll If such is your condition

lnent won't do it, for while it may give
temporary relief it does not reach the
cause. The cause. there's the point,
there's where to make the attack.
Most backaches come from disordered
kidneys; therefore you must correct
their action II you would be cured.
People in Marietta are testifying that
Doan's Kidney Pills cure bad backs, .
and it is not hard to prove their state
ments. Here is one of them:
Mrs. C. Stuffis bean, of No. $50 Third
street, says: Trouble with my kid
neys extends back or S years, the
pain being mostly down in the small
of the back, where it hurt to stoop
over, or to lift anything. was al

Rockefeller & Rice,

New York Oct. 13.-There was an
exciting climax to yesterdays session
of the John D Rockefeller eXamina-
tion by the Ohio commission. The
formal proceedings of the day were
dull, but came to an end at seven
O'Clock last mig. when Mr.. Rockefeller
finished his testimony. AS the as
semblage was about to disperse, Mr..
Rockefeller walked to a corner of the
room and was addressed by an elderly
gentleman who has attended all the
sessions of the examination He is
George Rice, the head of the Ohio oil
company. The first few remarks that
passed between them were inaudible.
Then Mr.. Rockefeller slapped the old
man on the back, saying cheerily:
"Pshaw, you are wrong. | tell you
we are getting to be old men now and
you should not say such things. In
fifteen years we will both drop out"
Il will keep right on" replied Mr..
Rice. IF it had rot been for you
would have been better off,
"Oh," exclaimed the multi-million-
aire, "if it had not been for your end
less TRADES you woul have been bet
ter off. You trifle and talk your life
away"
At this the old man became much
excited. Eyes, John D. Rockefeller"
he sad, you and your people ruined
me and my business and you know it,"
Nonsense" replied the oil magnate
and he thumped a table and walked
away.

The Politician,

Washington Oct. 14.-The War In
vestiation Committee has about COM
pleted the taking of the testimony in
Washington for the present and will on
Sunday start for Jacksonville, Fla,
where the testimony of some of the
officers and men under Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee will be taken. 1t has been very
clearly shown that much of the sick
ness among the volunteers, the lack Of
supplies and other troubles was the
result of ignorance and inexperience
on the part of regimental officers.
Many of these officers did not know
how to take care of their men nor
how to obtain supplies for them, and
few of them could not be made to
understand the necessity for the sani-
tary regulations which the medical
officers asked them to enforce While
these shortcomings were unfortunate,
it would not be possible to escape
them in putting large army of civil
ian volunteers in the field on short
notice, as this government was COM
PEELED to do. 1t does not reflect in any
manner upon the War Department,
but it should be lesson to all the
states to encourage the National
Guard, in order that there may always
be an ample supply OF trained officers
who can be called into service by the
general government when they are
needed.
The news from Paris concerning the
Peace Commission is receiving no
serious consideration in Washington,
because that which is not based upon
guesfes is sent out BY Spanish agents
for the purpose Of influencing public
opinion in this country, with the hope
that 1t may result in a modification in
the instructions Of our Peace Com
rnissioners. There is no anxiety in
Washington about the treaty of peace
because every one is absolutely sure
that it will be exactly what we de-
mand it to be.
Gov. Holcomb lodged the job OF Sc
lecting which Of the two Nebraska
regiments Of volunteers-the first
which Is at Manila, rthe third
(Bryan's) which is at Jacksonville,
Fla.,--should be mustered out OF SER
vice which the President very clever
ly transferred to him. He suggested
to the War Department that neither
regiment should be mustered out, but
that all the companies of both should
be reduced to the minimum of 81 men,
which would allow quite a number of
men to secure discharges. and his
suggestion has been adopted and the
orders to put 1t into effect issued
This suggestion of Gov. Holcomb's
has added to the number who believed
that Col. Bryan is glad he is where
he cannot take part in the present po-
htical campaign.
In report just received by the De-
partment of State the following inter-
esting business statistics are gwen !
concerning the principal city of one of
our new possessions: "In Manila
there are many large cigarette fac
tories, some of which employ as many
as 1000 hands. A few German, Swiss
and English firms have entered that |
field. There is also sugar refinery,
steam rice mill. Spanish electrical
plant, Spanish telephone exchange;a |
