Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of ulceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
ON the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle,

Where the Pot of cold Is hurled.

How many women are fretting and
struggling along on q very little money
when good sized yard or adjoining patch
of ground is going to waste Yet that very
piece of ground may contain all sorts Of
ossibilities-olothes, furniture, books,
medicines, luxurles and even necessities
otherwise impossible.
Clear, plow, fertilize and plant. This
DONE the great beginning is made, and
perseverance and attention will secure the
rest. Onions, tomatoes cabbages, celery,
a small poultry farm, violet or rose
farm-any one of these may add several
hundred dollars to ones purse every year.
Small fruits hops, tuberoses and grapes
are also very profitable. With some intelli-
gerce blooming garden can always be
made paying one. Make it a principle to
have no more waste In the garden than In
the kitchen.
If there is only very small place and
just enough raised for ones own family,
try, after the table is supplied, TO prepare
what vegetables and fruits are left over
for sale for winter use. There Is always a
demand for good homemade canning and
preserving. Do not let valuable scrap Of
ground be idle.-Annetta Halliday-An'
tona in Woman's Home Companion.

Another Maryland Murder

Sandy Springs, Md, July 25.-Rich-
ard Lewis, 26 years, was shot and
killed at a picnic at Hopkins Chapel
Saturday night. Evidence before the
coroner's jury yesterday showed that
one Richard Bruce and Lewis had
quarreled. Robert Anderson gave
Bruce a razor with which to defend
himself, to which Lewis took excep-
tions, and attacked Anderson. The lat
ter shot Lewis through the abdomen.
All three are negroes. Lewis was said
to be one of the most desperate men
in Montgomery county, and was a
fugitive from justice, having some
years ago shot and seriously injured a
deputy sheriff who sought to arrest
him for a murderous assault upon a
merchant at Brighton.

Conventions For Discussion.


Conventions For Discussion.
The Hague, July 25.-The general act
embodying the results of the interna-
tional peace conference which adjourn
ed yesterday, after enumerating the
names and qualifications of all the
delegates. says:
"In series of meetings In which
the above delegates participated the

proval OF the respective governments
the series of conventions and declara-
tions appended:
Convention for the pacific settle
ment of International disputes. Con-
vention concerning the laws and GUS
toms of war on land. Convention for
the adoption of laws against the use
of asphyxiating or deleterious gases
from balloon projectiles, and for the
prohibition of the use of bullets that
easily expand in the human body"
The general act contains five ex-
pressions of opinion, as follows:
THE conference considers that linn
itations of the military charges which
at present oppress the world are
greatly to be desired for the increase
of the material and moral welfare of
mankind.
"The conference expresses the opin-
ion that the question of the rights and
duties of neutrals should be inscribed
on the program of conference to be
held at an early date.
1.-THE conference expresses the opin-
ion that questions relative to the type
and caliber of rifles and naval artil-
lery, as examined by 1t. should be sub
ject of study by the different govern
ments, with view TO arriving at a
uniform solution by future confer
ence.
THE conference expresses the wish
that an early convention be called TO
revise the Geneva convention.
1.-THE conference has resolved that
question relating to the inviolability
of private property in war on land and
the bombardment of towns or villages
in naval war be reserved for future
conferences"

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE.

The Long Pending Treaty Between
the Nations Finally signed.
Washington, July 25.-The long
pending reciprocity treaty negotiations
between the United States and France
were brought to a successful close at
the state department late yesterday af-
ternoon, when Ambassador Cambon,
in behalf of France, and Commissioner
Kasson, in behalf of the United States,
affixed their signatures to the reci-
procity treaty. 1t iSSIy far the most
important treaty concluded under the
reciprocity provisions of the Dingley
law, and the only one affecting the
trade with a large commercial nation,
The negotiations were marked by
rather sharp and long continued dis
cussions, which continued up to the
time the signatures were placed on the
document. In the end a spirit of COM
promise prevailed, and each side yield
ed something. The general effect of
the treaty will encourage commerce
between the two countries.
The concessions granted by France
embraced most of the articles in what
is known as the French minimum tar
if. This comprises 644 heads, the
rates being on an average about 20 per
cent below those in the general tariff
on France 1t was found necessary,
however, owing to protests from the
French agrarian interests, to except
from this minimum list about "a ar
ticles, chiefly agricultural products. 1t
was on this point that the negotiations
were in doubt for several days.
