Marvellous Miracles.

As day succeeds day there is no abatement in
the crowds OF afflicted people that flock to the
parlors of MADAME MATHIEU, the divine heal
er, TO avail themselves of her healing ministra-
tions. Since her advent in this city she has
demonstrated beyond all cavil, all question, that
she stands crowned queen of the entire medical
world. She has graphically portrayed the power
OF healing disease, as patient remarked on
Saturday after being treated and finding herself
able to walk to the cars without her crutches,
being the first step she had taken for years
without them. Wonderful, miraculous, incom-
prehensibe, glorious triumph achieved. No
other endowment is so great as the gift to con-
quer and dispel diseases by simply laying on of
hands, This gift this lady possesses in degree
never before known ince the apostolic days.
1t seems there are no infrmities terrible and
no case so hopeless as to be beyond the reach of
her marvellous skill. People wonder what man
ner of woman she is and marvel at the strange
power she possesses The wisest and best edu-
Gated and most enlightened people of the coun-
try visit her and are daily being made converts
To her new principles and methods which are
supported by the most convincing evidences
sustained by the accomplishment daily of cures
which no other medical agency has ever ap-
preached, proof of which no reasoning mind can
dispute she essays to do nothing she cannot
no, and the people gaze in raptuous admiration
at what she does perform Her works are not
the relics of bygone ages, but substantial facts
of today and yesterday, irrefutable and living
truth of the present. Her field of action Is not
in foreign climes, but within the gates of your

which is not without it's pathetic side.

How Far Can ouail Flye

A number of spOrtsmen have been
discussing the question of how far a
quail can fly. There are a good many
contingencies to be considered in arriv-
ing at definite conclusion of the ques-
tion, the which cuts no inconsiderable
figure in the distance one of these birds
can fly. If there is a stiff wind blow
ing and the birds course is with the
wind, full grown quail could certain
~ go more than mile with ease and
doubtless a much greater distance.
Those who have noticed quail trying
to fly across the Missouri river, where
the distance is about mile, recall that
not all the birds make the trip safely.
They usually pick a spot where they
can make halt on sand bar in mid
stream, and thus cross the river in two
flights. But sometimes they make the
distance at a single flight, and this
seems to be their full limit under nor
NAL conditions, for when they aligbt
they are completely exhausted.
1t is generally believed that on an
average mile is about the limit of the
flight of quail where it is neither ia
vored nor retarded by the wind. 1t hap
pens very often that in crossing the
Missouri river at single flight quail
drop exhausted into the water. Proba-
bly, these are young birds. Louis
