Last Monday evening a few friends
gathered at the home of Mr.. snd Mrs.
r. E. Edwards to assist them in cele-
brating the twentieth anniversary OF
their marriage, which had occurred
few days before. The reason this
happy eventiwas not celebrated at the
proper time was that the little remem-
brance had not arrived. said remem-
brance consisting of one dozen ex-
quisite china plates. This was not a
surprise party for on this occasion
genuine presents appeared, which
brought recollections to Mr.. Charles
Noble of rather doubtful character.
Those present were the sSellers, Mer-
ryman and two Noble families. Cards
and refreshments made the time pass
pleasantly until a late hour.

there for doctor to come and see his
child. then very STICK with Group. Not
finding the doctor In, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In few hours he returned
SAYING the doctor need not come, as
the child was much better. The drug
gist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family
has since recommended Chamberlain S

friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part of the country.

The schOo! entertainment at the
South Side school house last Friday
evening was entirely successful as far
as the children were concerned and
the amount of money taken in. AL of
those taking part showed most careful
preparation. and the work was very
creditable both to pupils and teach
ers. The really drawing card was the
side show. which was extremely funny.
AS usual at such times, there were a
number OF ladies present very much
interested in getting good view of
what was going on, but extremely in
different as TO anyone else enjoying
the same privilege, and so insisted on
wearing their hats, even after being
asked TO remove them. However, by
standing on the seats aud desks. those
in the rear managed to get some idea
of what was going on. The proceeds
of the entertainment will be used to
provide apparatus for the laboratory.

a city ticket. AS usual in all of these

Roumanian's Nervous Malady Compels
Him to Write Backward.

Rounianian's Nervous Malady COmpeiA
Him to Write Backward.
An almost unique case OF nervous
disease was investigated at the last
sitting of the French Academy of Med
icine. The patient is young Rou-
manian, whose malady has been OBJ
served by DR.. Marinesco of Bucharest
The most curious manifestation of his
disease takes the shape OF what Is
known among scientists as mirror
writing" which Deans that the char
acters are written backward. so that
when reflected in a mirror they are to
be read in the ordinary way. DIR. Ma
rinesco had observed that the hands of
his patient, when unoccupied, were af-
fected with nervous trembling, which
ceased to a great extent when they
were used for definite purpose. Wish
ing to see what effect this symptom of
the malady had on the handwriting
DR.. Marinesco asked the patient to
write few lines from dictation; to
his astonishment he found that the en-
tire passage had been written back
ward with absolute accuracy. The ex-
pertinent was repeated several times
with exactly the same result, and it is.
in fact, impossible for the patient to
write otherwise. When asked to trace
a word with his foot on the ground it,
too, was found to be written backward.
The patient being Jew, a final ex-
pertinent was made with Hebrew. This
language, as is well known, is al
ways written backward, but the pa
tient. reversing. as usual. the normal
process, can only write it from left to
right. Partial cases of mirror writ

many Cretan sympathiZers. He had no
trouble in getting together a body o:
men. but the Turkish ambassador pre-
vented their departure. MacIver and
two others went to Greece, intending
to capture Turkish gunboat in the
harbor OF Piraeus, but on arrival
learned that the revolution had been
crushed.
Col. MacIver now found fighting to
do under the Grecian flag, the govern
ment being engaged in struggle to
suppress the depredations of brigands
along the Grecian frontier. There
were two months of brigand hunting
and the outlaws fought desperately
before being suppressed. MacIver led
quiet life for a while, but this be-
came monotonous and he came to New
York in time to join a filibustering ex-
pedition for Cuba. He was given charge
of force of infantry in one OF the ten
years wars and fought in many bat
ties, guerilla tactics being employed.
He escaped from Cuba in a rowboat
and was picked up in an exhausted
condition seven days later. He eyentu-
ally wound up in New York
His next experience was in the
Egyptian army. but his thirst for con-
flict was hardly satisfied there and he
went to Europe to join the French,
who were then engaged in war with
Germany. He served on the staff OF
Gen. Chanzy. was wounded at the bat
tie of Orleans, and received a commits
sion as colonel of cavalry in the auxili-
airy army. After the fall of the com
mune MacIver entered Paris with Mac
many terrible scenes which followed.
We next find him fighting in the ranks
of the Carlists, in the efforts to place
Don Carlos ON the throne of Spain.
The Carlists were successful for
while, but met with such series of re-
verses later that their contest was
abandoned. A quiet life of several
months in Paris followed and then
MacIver was sent by an English news
paper to the scene of the conflict Of the
Bosnians and Herzegovinians against
the Turks. Joining the former and
with others of the soldiers took part
with the Russians against the Turks
in the Russo-Turkish war. The Servi-
ans next enlisted his sympathy and he
was given colonelcy in the Servian
ranks. He subsequently served in the
Soudan, In Chill. in Nicaragua and in
Cuba.

sented a check at one of the banks the

balancing coins on the marble ledge in
front of the paying teller's window.
Finally he performed an astonishing
feat. He first balanced a silver dolla-

half-dollar edge to edge on top of it

Marching while Asleep.

Two days after the battle of Glen
coe we were suddenly told to get what
things we had, as we were going to
march to Ladysmith," writes British
private to London Tit-Bits. I'VE had
hardly left the camp when the Beers
started shelling it again. They did
not know we had shifted. The whole
brigade was about two miles long We
were marching all night until about 5
o'clock in the morning, when we had
three hours rest, and then started
again until five o'clock in the after
noon. On again at night then another
rest. On again at o'clock next morn
ing, till 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Forward again at 6 o'clock, marching
all night. The transport kept losing
the path. and could not keep up with
us. Raining all the time. Through
drifts up to our knees, nothing on but
khaki. We reached Ladysmith about
s o'clock next morning, very nearly
dead. Most of our fellows were walk
ing while fast asleep. Others fell out
and dropped to sleep directly they
kpuched the ground. l don't mind the
Nghting, but ] never want to go
through such march again"
