copiously and caused him much pain
and trouble until he was so fortunate
as TO receive q visit from Chief Oku, a
great medicine man Of the tribe, whose
fame is known among all the Indians
of the eastern states. The cut was
badly infamed when Oku arrived. but
he at once redSced the swelling by
bathing his leg with d decoction of
elm bark and tying up the wound n
fresh clay from a brook. When Dr..
Loud asked the Indian to take some
stitches in the cut Oku replied:
"Heem no good. read heem max
heem swell up, so be sore. See wat
Oku, heem do"
The chief, says the New York Sun,
went 10 a clearing and returned with
a dozen large and very lively brown
ants. Then, graSping the two sides
of the cut between his thumb and fin
ger and pinching them together, he
caused an ant 10 bite at the edge, put
ting his jaws through both sides of
the cut and closing them IS firmly as
had applied eight ants in this manner
he cOouy pulled off their bodies, leav-
ing nothing but their heads attached.
Now heem bin stay there It'll heem

bandage of soft cloth around the leg
and fastening it as neatly as a trained
nurse could have done. I'm nine day
y day, maybe, take off cloth; find
heem all well"
DR.. Loud followed instructions and
came out cured. The heads of the ants
had held on as firmly as pincers. and,
although the insects were long dead,
it required considerable force 10 pull
away the locked jaws. DR.. Loud also
believes that the formic acid which the
ants secrete from their mandibles has
antiseptic qualities which are un-
known TO medicine, and proposes to
10 make a few experiments along this
line on his return TO Boston.

body was hurriedly inferred along with
the bodies of numerous victims OF an
epidemic. He died at the age of 81
and was buried on a stormy night in
1871, along with other victims of the
disease, in ST. Marks cemetery, in vi
emma.
Owing TO the panic prevailing because
OF the epidemic there were no obse
quies. The exact resting place of No.
Zart's body was known only to a grave
digger called Joseph Rothmayer
Rothmayer was a skilled musician and
a great admirer of Mozart, and in or
der 10 prevent the body from being
stolen he wrapped long wires around
the coffin.
Some time afterward Rothmayer
animated by musical enthusiasm, sur.
reptitiously opened the grave and stole
the skull. He kept il IS a sacred relic
until his death, when il became the
property of one Radschopf, his success
sOr.
Both these men maintained the
greatest secrecy about their ghastly
treasure. Joseph Hyrtl, brother of the
celebrated anthropologist became the
next owner of the skull. Hyrtl was
musician of renown and an ardent ad-
mirer of Mozart, and Radschopf gave
him the skull as a mark Of esteem, one
of the most extraordinary presents
ever given by one person TO another.
On his deathbed only did Hyrt re.
veal the secret. He then told his
brother Joseph. The latter had the
Uranium carefully prepared and placed
on a velvet cushion under glass cover.
With his own hand Joseph Hyrtl in.
scribed the following words on the
temporal bone:

First Battalion, High School Cadets,
Before the Judges.
TEN THOUSAND SPECTATORS PRESENT
Companies VociferousIy AppIauded
by Their Respective Partisans.
SECOND BATTALION TO-DAY

The individual who has never attended
annual company competitive drill of the
regiment of High School cadets may prop
erly be c(assed as deserving of sympathy.
Not alone is the event the feature of the
High School year, but il is table. In a way
as regards the community at large. Only
those who have witnessed one of these COM
petitions are in a position to realize just
what the scene at the American League
base bail park. for two hours, really was
yesterday afternoon. Imagine a solid mass
of humanity made up of nearly or quite
T0.CoN persons. every one of them shreking
and yelling like mad. and waving ribbons,
bunting and flags of gay colors. To the
stranger such a gathering of spectators is
alone sufficient to hold attention. What
trarspires on the drill field seems but a
mere incidental Of the affair.
Without the High School girl the annual
contest for the prize fig. open to the eight
companies Of the regiment of cadets, would
in all likelihood amount to nothing more
than mere commonplace occurrence. But
the Washington High School girl is a Won
der She is in a class entirely by herself.
Nowhere else in the world is her equal to
be found. The indications are that she has
been looking forward to the competition
now in progress. with nearly if not quite
as much interest and eageTneSS as has any
cadet Of the regiment. For " eebs past she
has been deVOtIng all her spare moments
10 fixing up the COlOrs of her favOrite COM
pany into all sorts Of unique shapes for dis
play at the drill grounds. She has even
gone to the extent Of making a dress OF
the appropriate colors. She was very much
in evidence aI the base ball park yester-
day, was the Washington High School girl.
Early on the Ground.
As early as 2 o'clock in the afternoon
those who were TO be spectators began the
Journey TO the park, having grown anxious
after the postpOnement of a week, due TO
Indictment weather. and long before
o'clock, the hour set for the drilling TO
begin, the seating capacity of the inclosure
was taxed to the extreme limit. And this,
too, notwithstanding the fact that but four
companies-thOse of the first battalion
were TO appear before the Judges. The frs
battalion, comprising Companies A, B, {
and d. halls from the Central High School,
and quite naturally its following is largely
from that institution. OF course, there are
hundreds who will be disappointed If their
particular company OF the four does not
win the flag. but their grief will be in
large degree assuaged If one of the other
three finishes in the lead and takes the
trophy back to the Central. The attend
ance this afternoon will unquestiOnably be
larger than that of yesterday, for the rea-
son that the four companies of the second
battalion 10 drill this afternoon have a larger
following due to the fact that they are
located at widely separated points of the
city. Company Z represents the Business

Fill bottle common glass with your water
and let 1t stand twenty four hours; a sediment or

WHAT TO DO
There is comfort in the knowledge often
expressed that DR.. Kimer's Swamp Root the great
kidney and bladder remedy, fulflls every wish in
curing rheumatism, pain in the back kidneys,
