A SAVAGE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Cows Horns Used for Cupping Sue
cessfuI in Darkest Africa.

African savages suffer from rheuma-
tism, and what is more they know how
to cure it. The African medicine-man
does not tell the patient to rub his back
with liniment, or to stay in the house in
damp weather, but he gives him cure,
said by travellers to be quite effective. If
you have ever seen cows horn you
know that 1t is hollow in the end that is
fastened to the cows head In the olden
times doctors used TO put cups on sick
PEOPLE to draw the blood from painful
parts of the body. And the principle on
which the African medicine-man goes is
Just the same. Suppose that the patient
complains Of rheumatic pain i'm his
back The medicine man gets six COW
horns, cut slight incislons In the patients
back and puts the hollow end of the horns
over the spots. They stick close TO the
skin and will remain in place for several
days, especially as the savage does not
have to disturb them by putting on any
clothes. These horns are allowed to re-
main on until they drop of. when If the
patient is not cured of his rheumatism,
IL Is not the fault of the horns. The cure
works excellently. strange as it may
seem.

SACRIFICE FOR LOVE.
II VIII he Made by stephanie, Crown
Princess of Austria.

From the Chicago Times Herald
Stephanie, the Crown Princess of Aus
tria, who is to be welded Saturday to
Count Eemer Lonyay, a nobleman Of
Hungary, will by her marriage sacrifice
her rank as a princess of Austria and of
Belgium, and will lose all the wealth she
would otherwise have inherited from her
royal father and her imperial father-in-
law.
The bride-to-be inherits her unruly dis
position from the King OF the Belgians,
her father, and her association In mar
riage with the Hapsburgs does not seem
to have given her that balance which all
royalty additionally possesses. She loves
her lover devotedly. He is only count,
but she is ready to sacrifice wealth and
station to be his wife. She is the second
daughter of King Leopold and was born
May II, 1864. At the age Of IL she was
married to the Archduke Rudolph, Crown
Prince of Austria and only son of EN-
peror Francis Joseph. One child was born
OF this union--the Archduchess Elizabeth,
or Erzebet, as she Is called in her own
language. Elizabeth is now II. but, young
though she is, she is sufficiently mature
to be able to repudiate her mother be-
cause that mother is weak enough to
marry below her rank, when, indeed, she
should never marry at all.
The little princess was only years old
when her father came TO his tragic end.
But she has been devoted to his memory.
and has often prayed that she might die
in order to be with him. A year ago,
when Count Lonyay began his suit for
Stephanies hand, little Elizabeth OBJ
jected in the most emphatic way. She
complained about 1t to the Emperor. who
reasoned with Stephanie, but to no pur-
pose Elizabeth declared her hatred for
him, but hated him implacably now since
he was to become her stepfather
The mothers turn came when the EN-
reror decided to marry his little grand
child TO a Wurtemburg prince The EN-
peror's will was conveyed to her by Ste
phanie. whereupon Elizabeth gave way 10
an attack of Mysteries. Stephanie fed
from her daughters apartment and a ply
stefan was summoned. The girl grew
worse, and at laet the Emperor himself
came TO her. The two were alone for a
long time and, IL Is said. when Francis
Joseph left his granddaughter he left her
With the assurance that she would not be
required to wed prince OF Wurtemburg
or any other man whom she did not love.
This was victory number one for Eliz-
abeth. Then she brought her influence to
bear on both of her grapdfathers, and
the result OF her insistence and persist
ence is that her mother has been dlsown-
ed by the Emperor OF Austria and the
King OF Belgium.
The wedding will take place at Miram-
er on the Adriatic, and great will be the
pomp and circumstance attending II.

Dou and Quail Frozen to Death.

Beverly w. Va. Dispatch In New York
World.
There Is on exhibition at general store
in Marlinton curious and unusual tap-
leau group. 1t is nothing less than set
ter dog and a dozen quail, all frozen. ana
In the attitude usually assumed by berds
and dogs when brought into close quarters
in the woods.
The exhibition occupies the entire shop
window, and has attracted much attention,
Though the warmer weather may spoil II
soon. The dog belonged to Judge William
Green
During the very cold weather just after
the beginning OF February Judge Green
took an outing thinking he might see
few birds and further the work OF train
ing the setter. He took no gun. II was
the closed season for game birds.
While going up a valley between Peter
sons mountain and a short ridge, where
It was extremely cold on account of the
sharp wind, Judge Green missed the dog
He hunted for him half an hour, but could
find no trace Of the animal. He returned
home thinking the dog had preceded him,
but the animal was not there. Nothing
was seen of the dog until Thursday.
when the Judge went back to the moun-
tains to make another search.
In the thicket where the dog had last
been seen, but securely hidden by the
evergreen, the Judge discovered the AMI
NAL, standing, with MS nose pointed 1air-
~ ahead and as natural as IL alive. Half
a dozen yards away we're about dozen
quail. an of them frozen. The setter had
scented the birds and stood waiting for
his master to come.
The dog. In his instructive effort to To-
cate the game for his master, and the
quail In their fear TO move In the dogs
presence, had all frozen to death. There
has been no thawing weather under the
lowering brow Of the mountain since the
day the animal met the quail. The Judge
gathered up the frozen dog and quail
brought them to town. and oiaced them
