Remarkable Cure Of Rheumatism.


Kena, Jackson Co., W. Va.
About three years ago my wife had
an attack of rheumatism which con-
fined her to her bed for over month
and rendered her unable to walk a step
without assistance, her limbs being
swollen to douole their normal size.

THE YELLOW PERIL.

It is more and more evident that there is very serious work to be done in China. There has already been one big battle, and though it is reported that the Chinese were defeated with large loss there Is no indication that they are discouraged. That they can fight better than was at first thought is evil dent from the damage they inflicted on the allied forces. They seem to under stand how to pick out and occupy good positions and they are apparently re- sisting the advance of the allies with courage and skill
 The new, dispatch from Minister Con- ger isn't encouraging. Under date of August z, he reports that the Chinese government is insisting that the minis ters shall leave Pekin, and he says it would be certain death to go. He also says that there Is rifle firing upon them daily by imperial troops.
 The Chinese government is feeble or treacherous and perhaps both No mistake has been made in refusing to be modified or misled by the willy yell low men. When the full story is told the wrath of the civilized world will be very warm

WISE NEW ORLEANS NEG ROES.

| It's an i'll wind that blows no good | One result of the recent troubles in New Orleans is that the most prominent ne-
 groes of the city, including educators, officeholders, have taken steps to form an organization to bring about and
 maintain better relations between the
 white and the black people of that city. Their object Is to stamp out lawlessness
 among the lower classes of negroes, to
 persuade the ignorant members of their
 race not to harbor criminals, not to an-
 tagonize the officers of the law, and not
 to accept as leaders the agitators and
 incendiaries who are attempting to stir
 up trouble. The negroes are also urged
 to discountenance inf1ammatory papers
 and pamphlets circulated by certain Li-
 berian emigration societies, which have
 engendered bitterness against the
 white people that may result in riot and
 bloodshed J. Madison Vance, the lead
 ing negro lawyer in Louisiana, in an
 address the other day gave his race some wholesome advice. The time had
 come, he said, when the better class of negroes must assert themselves and draw the line between those of their race who obey the law and those who are lawless and criminal The better element should guard the less inteli- gent negroes against "bunco I4iberian emigration schemes" and against the incendiary appeals sent out by emigra- tion societies to stir up strife. It was the duty of intelligent, law-abiding ne- groes, he declared, ito do all in their power to prevent the race hatred and that were being engendered and the opposition to law and authority that is developing among the coored | people, and which, in Lawyer Vance's opinion, will eventually result in race riots |
 This Is a move in the right direction | by intelligent negroes. Now if the in- | telligent white people will do their part | a better condition of affairs may pre- vail In New Orleans

Unweloomo serenadcrs.

Too often in the stilly night,
 When slumber's chains have bound us, We suddenly awake and hear
 Mosquitoes singing round us. And lying there, but halfaroused, By fancy we're persuaded That somehow, somewhere near at hand We're being serenaded. But by and by the music stops, There's something on us lighting, And then we promptly realize A blamed mosquitoes biting. A vicious slap we wildly aim
 At insect that Is stinging; Of course we miss 1t and soon hear It in the distance singing. We wait and watch q little while, It's quick return expecting, Prepared to swipe it good and hard To show that we're objecting. In vain we wait and then decide That far away it's cruising, And then we settle down again To get some needed snoozing. But just as we have closed our eyes Back comes the little singer, And while we're striking here and there It jabs us with it's stinger. Once more it bites and gets away, Our vengeful efforts scorning, And on us plays the same sharp trick A dozen times ere morning. The sly mosquito doesn't know We're sgddest when it's singing. It doesn't seem to care that we Are illaddest when It's stinging. And as 1t neither knows or cares, Just keeps lis agitated, We often vainly wonder why Such tOrments were created

---------------------------- MESSENGERS IN LONDON.

| An interesting question has arisen in London and it is likely to get into par | lianent before 1t is settled, It appears | that the Postoffice department has an-
 nounced that it will not renew the li- cense held by the District Messenger company to carry on its business in London. The postoffice officials hold that their own service is a public mo- nopoly and that no corporation has the
 portation and delivery of letters and
 bundles. The London Daily Chronicle,
 ing number of tests of the efficiency
 of the two respective services, having
 at the same time sent duplicate mes
 sages by the postofflce system and by
 the District Messenger company of
 course leaving the two competitors in
 entire ignorance of its intentions. The
 results of these tests have been to con-
 vince the Chronicle that the district
 messenger service, in the mere matter
 of carrying messages, is far more effi-
 cient than the postoff1ce. In each of
 the several events the district messen- gers came out distinctly ahead in some
 instances performing the service in about half the time occupied by the rival system. It is furthermore pointed out that district messengers perform a great many other duties beside carry
 ing letters. messages and small pack ages, and these other and niscellane
 ous duties the officials of the postoflice could not be expected to perform The latter could not be summoned to call a carriage they could not be telephoned or telegraphed for and asked to go on a. shopping tour; they could not be sent on long distance trips, involving possibly days of time.
 The advocates of the private messen- ger service seem to have the best of the facts and of the argument. The matter is of general interest in it's bearing on public business and in it's revelation of the fact that a messenger who is in the public service can be even slower than a messenger furnished by messenger

SOME LITERARY CATS.

Miss Sarah Orne Jewett is a cat lover, and the dear old country women down in Maine, whom one loves to en- counter in her stories usually keep a cat, though theirs are only the farm CTS plain useful cats.
 q look back over long line of cats" says she; from certain poor
 Spotty,' who died in a fit under the library window when I was less than | five years old, to a lawless, fluffy coon cat now in possession. l shall tell you | of two in particular; one the mortal enemy and the other the friend of my dog Joe may mention by the way | that Joe and ! grew up together, and were fond companions until he died of far too early old age, and left me to take my country walks alone.
 " Folly the enemy, was far the best mouser of all--quite the best business cat we ever had, with an astonishing intellect and shrewd way of gaining her ends. She caught birds and mice as if she foraged for our whole fam fly. She had an air of responsibility,
 
 ton and interference, such as I have never seen in any other cat and q scornful way of sitting before person with fierce eyes and quick ominous twitching of the tail. She seemed to be measuring ones incompetence as a mouse catcher"
 Miss Mary E. Wilkins also is great admirer of cats. "I adore cats" she said 10 me. q don't love them as well as dogs because my own nature Is more after the lines of dogs; but I adore them. No matter how tired or wretched l am, pussy cat sitting in doorway can divert my mind. Cats love one so much-lnore than they will admit; but they have so much wis dom, they keep it to themselves
 Miss Wilkins Augustus" was moved with her from Brattleboro, Vermont, after her fathers death, when she went to Randolph, Massachusetts, to live. He had been the pet of the family for many years, but he came to an un- timely end. q hope" says Miss Will kins, that peoples unintentional cruel ty will not be remembered against them" At Randolph she has had two lovely yellow and white cats, Punch and Judy" The later was cruelty shot by neighbor, but the other cat, With it's angelic expression, still sur wives. ''I am sure" says Miss Wilkins, he loves me better than anybody else, he is so very close about it. Punch Wilkins boasts one accomplish ment; he can open a door having an old fashioned latch; but he cannot sbut it."-St. Nicholas

An export duty of five shillings ton on coal was advocated by Professor Ed ward Hill a scientist, in a recent ad- dress before the Victoria Institute, in London. Last year, he said, the exports amounted to 4O,O00,O00 tons, or one-fifth of the product of the British mines He warned his countrymen that practical exhaustion of the coal supply might come while the earth still contained vast stores. Practical exhaustion may be reached when, owing to increased depth and expense of mining, and to actual diminution of supply and other causes, the cost of coal will tend to be- come prohibitive, and English manu- featuring industries will be heavily weighted as compared with other coun- tries such as America, where coal is more abundant and of easy access

It con- sists of an inda-rubber cloth acceptable made in the form of collar which is worn close about the neck.
