MIDDLETOWN. y. Y. April "a most
remarkable case Of healing by faith aHd
prayer is reported from Highland Falls.
The truth OF the story is vouched for by
residents OF this city who are familiar with
the case. II Is declared thai Miss Annie
PascOe, who had been unable to walk a
step unassisted for more than FIVE years.
has suddenly recovered the use OF her
limbs.
Miss Pascoe asserts that upon recent
morning a peculiar sensation cSme over
her. as if Heaven had opened before her
and she says she distinctly heard a voice
commanding her 10 rise ana walk She
hesitated and a second command came.
She then arose and walked two or three
times across the room, With no assistance
whatever save her implicit faith in the Al

walking out into the hallway, called 10
some members Cf the family Seeing he's
standing alone and able 10 walk. they
stood app, led.
The young woman says it had been her
constant prayer 20 be able TO walk. and
she had faith that her prayer would be
answered. She has had a trained nurse
attending her for two years. The nurse.
with four physicians, agreed the case was
a hopeless one
Miss Pascoe's alleged recovery aston
ishes the physicians who have been at
tending her and all who were acquainted
with her previous to her Illness Some
are inclined 90 s-oh at the idea Of tine

prayer. bur even The most skeptical are
unable TO account for her changed con

The young woman relat-s her remarkable
experience with tears Of gratitude cours-
ing down her cheeks. and declares that

her cure.
Some persons. however shake their
heads and declare the cure is more imag-
mary than real and fear IL will not De

Rocking Chair Bathtub.

In the words of the inventor, Otto
A. Hensel of Pittsburg, Pa, the essen
tial object of this rocking chair bath
tub is to provide tub that will fill a
long-felt want in hospitals, SANTA
RUNS and other institutions, as
well as in private residences,
which will agitate and throw the wa
ter with more or less violence against
the body of the person in the tub,
"for a purpose we'll known in the art
of medicine" The tub is of ordinary
cast-iron constructions, mounted on
trunnions and bearings. By means Of
small spiral springs any abrupt move
ment is prevented, giving the tub,
when rocked. a gentle, easy motion.
The TOP of the tub is covered by
waterproof apron having an opening
to fit neatly about the neck of the
person while sitting in the tub, and
an opening of sufficient size to permit
the body Of the person to pass through.
The opening is afterward closed by
lacing or other suitable means. Hot
and cold water inlets are made through
the hollow bearings, upon which the
tub is supported, while the drain is
formed of a flexible pipe. The rocking
or oscillating motion given the tub by
the bather, or patient, causes the wa
ter to whip, to come in more or less

Potato Bug Picker.

Most methods for the determination
Of potato bugs reminds me of the old
recipe for making hare soup, which
began, first catch your hare; so that
about the only effective method of get
ting rid of this little pest is to first
catch your bug, and then kill him.
A Western inventor, hailing from
Lone Tree, Iowa, very seriously Of
fers recently patented device for as
sisting in catching the bugs. 1t
consists of gas pipe frame
wheelbarrow, the handles of which
are supported by straps pass
ing around the shoulders Of the user.
At one side of this frame is wind
mill arrangement, operated by crank,
the idea being, of course, to push this
barrow alongside of the individual
potato plants, and by turning the
crank to beat the foliage with the pad
dies and thus dislodge any bugs that
may be clinging to it. 1t is assumed

Practical.

An American farmer in Mexico had
no difficulty in convincing his neigh
bors that oxen would do more work
under American yokes than under the
Mexican. which latter are fastened to
the animals horns. A New York ex-
change gives the story: The Amer
lean bought some modern yokes from
the States, and the curiosity of his
Mexican friends being aroused, they
proceeded to ask questions. well"
said the American, when you lasso
a steer, and the rope gets around his
neck, what do you do?" Turn him
loose was the reply. "Why?" BE
cause he is too strong for us that way"
"That's it, said the American. His
strength is in his neck, not in his
horns The Mexican saw the point,
and now yokes of United States man
ufacture are generally used in that
neighborhood.

To prevent stock from jumping over

which prevents lifting the head high

AND INVENTION.
Precipitation Is Peculiar to Men, Mon
keys and Horses = Potato Bug

Inventions,
Precipitation.

Precipitation is almost peculiar to
men, monkeys and horses. Horses
sweat all over the body, and so do
human beings, but monkeys, 1t is said,
sweat only on the hands, feet and
face. The use of perspiration is main
ly to cool the body by it's evaporation,
although it is generally believed that
waste materials are also excreted
through the sweat glands when the
action of the kidneys is interfered
with. In animals that perspire but
little, the cooling of the body is eff
fected by evaporation from the lungs,
as we see in the case of painting dog.
The amount of perspiration varies
of the surrounding air, the condition
Of health, the degree of exercise taken,
the amount of fluids imbibed, etc. The
average amount of perspration is
thought to be about two pints a day,
but this is of course much increased
in hot weather. In damp weather
evaporation from the skin is lessened,
and so one seems to perspire more
profusely than in dry weather; but
this is only apparent, for really trans
piratiOn is lessened when the atmos-
phere is charged with moisture. Hy-
perhidrosis is the medical term used
to denote an abnormal increase in
perspiration. This increase may be
general from the entire body, or con-
fined to some particular part, as the
face, the hands or the feet. Profuse
sweating is very common in cases OF
debility and in excessively stout per-
sons. 1t occurs also in connection with
(night sweats). pneumonia. inflamma-
tory rheumatism and certain nervous
disorders. Sudden emotion may cause
increased perspiration. The opposite
condition, a diminution or absence OF
sweating (anhidrosis), is much rarer
and occurs usually in connection with
some disease of the skin. Sometimes
the character of the secretion is
CHdHSeu, anu cases VI DldCk, Dlue, gray ,
yellow or red sweating have been de-
scribed The treatment of profuse per-
spiration depends upon the cause,
TONES, cold or cool bathing, especial
ly salt bathing, temperate exercise, and
rubbing the skin are useful in cases
dependent upon general debility or
obesity. Spraying or sponging the
body with brandy and water, vinegar
and water, or a solution of tannin or
of boric acid is useful. Certain drugs
which have tendency to diminish
perspiration are sometimes employed
to reduce the night sweats Of con-
sumption. when these are so excessive
as to weaken the already debilitated
patient and to prevent much needed
sleep.
