Doctor Curs-An.r

The field of nickel .in-the-slot ma
chimes is not exhausted yet. A Dutch
technical paper furnishes the deserip-
ton and picture Of a peculiar novelty Of
this kind. II is called the doctor
Cure-All," 5" and is constructed in the
form Of a man, upon whose body are
drawn a number Of squares. Each Of
these squares bears the name of an all
ment, pain or illness Of the par. of the
body it is on next to each name is a
slot 1.-THE coin, and just beneath a
drawer with handle which delivers
the article wanted-a medicine for the
respective ailment
Thus a headache cure can be had
from the forehead, and hair grower
just above; toothaehe can be cured by
drops obtained through one cheek, or
by diminutive mustard plaster for the
gum through the other. The mouth is
a receptacle for cough drops and a malt
tonic can be obtained at the throat. A
little farther below one finds various
porous plasters; then pepsin tablets,
seidIitz powders, aud so on down to
the feet. Within one foot is dispen-
ser of corn ointment, while the other
will deliver elastic cotton rings to pro-
tect corns from pressure.
Where the illness is OF a serious na-
ture-for instance heart troub,e--the
slot machine will deliver a card to the
nearest physician or specialist, but in
this case the coin placed in the slot
comes out with card, which is deliv-
cred free.

The Cost of News.

Should a war reported as this has
been continue two yearsi would bank
rupt the resources of every first-elass
newspaper in New York City. Every
newspaper of the first-class has run
so far behind since the outbreak of the
war. To one newspaper at least the
wr has meant an added expense OF
m IRE than $1,000 day-abou. 81 ,00O.-
600 a year-snongh to eliminate all the
protitsof the most profitable newspaper
in America-which at present is un-
doubtedly the New York Herald
Three thousand dollars per day has
bean the extra cost Of gathering war
news for the New York Journal. That
sum perhaps represents maximum.
Other newspapers have spent in pro-
portion to their available capital. For
a newspaper, as for a nation, war has
no reward save glory. 1t hurts the
commercial end of the newspaper as Of
the n-advertisements diminish
ing-and it adds greatly TO the expense.

Another great discovery has been
made. aud that too, by lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutch
IS upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severest test, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way to
recovery, by purchasing of Us bottle
Of DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved
on taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus write w. C..

Linooln's FaultIsss Diction.

The Philadelphia Ledger publishes a
letter written by Abraham Lincoln to a
Mrs. Bixby of Boston, which, the Led
ger says ''has been engrossed, framed
and hung in one of the Oxford Eng
land) University halls as a specimen Of
the purest English and elegant diction
extant.," The letter has an additional
interest. 1t is peculiarly appropriate
now, when so many mothers are mourn
ing their sons, who were killed in hat
tie or suffered the worse death, that
from disease. The letter follows:
Dear Madam:-I have been shown
in the sles nf the war department a
statement of the adjutant general of
Massachusetts, that you are the mother
of five sons who have died gloriously
on the field Of battle. feel how weak
and fruitless must be any words of
mine which should attempt to beguile
you from the grief OF a loss 50 over
whelming. But can not refrain from
rendering to you the consolation that
may be found in the thanks of the re-
public they died to save / pray that
our Heavenly Father may assuage the
anguish of your bereavement, and leave
you only the cherished memory Of the
loved and lost, and the solemn pride
that must be yours to have laid 80 costly
a sacrifice upon the altar Of freedom
"Yours very sincerely and respect
fully, ABRAHAM .LfNccLS."

What every officer Of regulars does,
if he is, or intends to become an efIi-
cient factor on the field Of battle, is to
attempt to win the confidence and re-
spect Of his men, says the Camp Wikoff
correspondent of the New York Sun.
He endeavors to become well aequaint-
ed with their personal peeuliaritiesa and
he studies how to instili into them that
spirit which, having no English equiv
alent for it, We call esprit de corps. A
captain usually has plenty OF opportH-
nifty for this, the other company OIL
GERS not quite so much so, and it some
times happens that a lieutenant finds
himself suddenly in command Of
company which has been somewhat
demoralized by the loss of the man to
whose leadership it has become aecus-
toned. Then is the time when be
must act swiftly and firmly, if he
would avoid disaster. Such a crisis
came to Lieutenant Newell, second
lieutenant of company a, Twenty-see-
ond infantry, at FL Caney, and the
choicest war "Reminiscences Of his men
is how he came out Of it. The firing
had been sharp where he stood, and
early in the fight the captain and the
first lieutenant fell, leaving the COM
mand to Lieutenant Newell, who is
young SOutherner. His men were ner-
vous and disheartened by their losses,
and their commander saw that unless
he got them in hand soon there would
be some happening that would not lock
well in the reports. Some Of his men
were out ahead, skirmishing, and one
of them, man who was popular in
the company, fell. The lieutenant or
dered his men forward to get the wound
ed soldier. They stood still. Again he
ordered them, but they did not obey.
Turning to a sergeant whom he implie-
lily trusted, Lieutenant Newell said
sharply:
sergeant, want you to go out with
me to get that wounded man."
''Yes, sir,n said the sergeant, salu-
ting.
The company stood and watched
them go forward. At the first glance
the lieutenant saw that the soldier
could not live more than few min
utes. He groaned out request to be
taken back to the lines to die.
"An right" said the officer. "We'll
take you in a minute. Just lie quiet,
and I'll stay with you.p
In two minutes, during which time
Lieutenant Newell and his sergeant
stood there under fire, the soldier died.
Then the two went back to the lines.
Nothing was said between the eompa-
ny and the officer, who had just proved
himself, but the nervous wavering Of
the line was over. The men stood like
rocks, and when the order came to ad-
vance, they went forward with a cheer.
In three minutes they had passed the
line that separates the tyro from the
veteran.
"That amt in the book, sir, - said the
soldier who told this incident to the
writer, 'but, by G., that's the sort c:
thing that wins baitlesr'

Good Roads.


Prof. J. a. Holmes, Of North Caro-
lima, has written letter on good roads,
in which he says:
"Dirt roads are the most expensive
roads that can be used
"Macadam roads, properly construct
ed, are the most satisfactory and the
cheapest roads yet discovered.
Trained labor and competent engi-
neeriBg supervision are as important in
building public roads as they are in the
building-of railroads, or any other spe-
cial business.
"COnvicts make cheap and satisfae-
tory road builders, and every short term
convict in North Carolina ought 10 be
at work on the public roads of the State.
"Hills and mud-hOles, both Of which
are avOidable, are the two most expens-
i've features about the dirt roads.
"All road work should be done with
a view to its pennaneney. A poorly
built macadam road is largely waste
of time and money.
"Good roads are expensive, but in
the long run they are far cheaper than
bad roads
'The bad roads in North Carolina to-
day cost her people in labor and money
bat little less than Si0,GO0.OO0 year,
and yet over two-thirds of the counties
in the State will refuse to levy a small
pittance Of a tax for good roads which
would help throw off this terrible bur-
den.
"This enormous bad road tax is to-
day the biggest factor in the industrial
depression from which our people are
suffering. 1t is as real a tax as any
man ever paid. 1t is the largest tax we
pay"
