Many Hogs Affected.

Disease is playing havoc just
now with porkers in the vicinity of
Dover and several breeders have
lost nearly all their stock. Some
class the disease as genuine cholera
while others claim that symptoms
are displayed by the affected swine
that do not generally accompany
cholera. That it is contagious and
means certain death, however, all
agree.

A GREAT MINE FIRE.

One of the greatest fires in history-a
subterranean confiagration which has
already been raging for over 20 years
is causing renewed interest in the coal
mining districts of Nova Scotia All eff
forts to circumvent the flames have
proved fruitless and hope is now prac-
tically abandoned. The scene of the dis
aster is near the mining town of New
Glasgow, in the peninsula province,
down by the sea, and the fire originated
in 1880. 1t is burning in a rich seam of
coal 80 feet thick, and in a mine which
has shaft 1000 feet deep. The prob
lem of extinguishing the flames is no
nearer solution than it was 81 years
ago. Water has been let in. but the
fire is above the sea level, and the ex-
pensive work of flooding has had no eff
feet. After many futile efforts to ex-
tinguish the fire the engineers directed
their efforts toward devising plans for
circumventing it and reaching the coal
still intact. To that end all approaches
leading to the fire and all the neighbor-
ing workings were driven lower down.
But every plan so far devised has prov
ed a failure. The all-conquering fire has
broken through, and every new work
has been reluctantly abandoned.-Que-
bee Letter to Chicago Record-Herald.

SEASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health In Fall and Early
Winter.

A change from warm to cold is always
attended with more danger than from
a cold to a warm temperature. hence
the greater mortality from lung and
throat diseases at this season of the year
as compared with spring.
The best protection against colds is
not so much in extra clothing as in good
digestion
If the digestion and circulation are
Poor digestion causes poor circulation
of the blood and when in this condition
severe colds are contracted on the slight
est provocation.
People who make a regular practice
of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after meals are free from colds, simply
because their digestion is perfect, the
heart strong and regular, and the whole
system fortified against disease.
1t requires little argument to convince
anyone that the best safeguard against
colds, pneumonia and changes Of tenn
perature is a good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals are dissolved and mingling with
the food cause it to be promptly digest
ed and assimilated: they do this be-
cause they contain nothing but harm
less digestive elements, which digest
meat, eggs and other food even when
the stomach itself is weak and fiaccid.

Nine. Eames' Diplomacy.

IFrom the Philadelphia Post.1
Many think that musical artists
should present their services for con-
certs given for charitable objects.
Nine. Eames is also of this opinion,
but she recently, in London, put the
m after in a new light to those who in
vited her to appear gratuitously.
Nine. Games was one afternoon at
Lord Charles Beresford's, and the next
day received a letter from Lady Beres-
ford saying that two ladies present had
wanted to ask favor, but in her pres
ence had lost courage.
But I am not afraid of you,'' wrote
Lady Beresford, and proceeded to say
that the ladies in question, who hap
pened to be extremely wealthy, wished
her to sing for nothing for a certain
charity.
Mime. Eames Immediately sat down
and wrote a reply. 1t was her duty
she said, to save herself as much as
possible for her operate performances
lated by contract to be two days apart
SO that she might give her freshest and
best to the public. She felt however
greatly attracted toward the charity
named, and would make only one con-
dition regarding the donating of her
services. She had received 300 guineas
about 81, 5000 for singing at Mr. w. w.
k-1or's and about the same amount at
other private concerts. She would
gladly sing for nothing at the charity
concert if each one of the ladies inter-
ested, who had so kindly asked her,
would donate 300 guineas to the object
for which the concert was to be given.
AS yet no replies from "the ladies in
terested" have been received. But
Lady Beresford, not being one of the
interested ladies'" appreciates more
fully the humor of the situation.

In some manner they escaped and
avoided the ushers, who might have
given them less conspicuous seats, and
went way down in front, brushing into
the pew of Mr.. Andrew Broaddus, and
sat throughout the services between
him and Mrs. Broaddus
Mr. Broaddus, who is a confederate
veteran and leading citizen, endured
the ordeal without f1inching. The Rev.

church, is a son of the chaplain of Lee,
