ANOTHER REMARKABLE CASE
Which the Doctors Failed to Cure or
 Understand.

A medical man, as rule, dislikes to acknowledge the value of proprie- tarv medicine. In fact, professional etiquette debars him from doing SO. There are many eminent physicians, those most advanced in their profess sions, who give full credit to the great curative properties of Vogeler's Cura- tive Compound from the fact that it is manufactured by an old and reliable company. proprietors of St. Jaccob s Oil, from the formula of brother physician, who today stands in the front ranks of the most eminent medi- cal men, and on account of it's intrinsic merit it is largely prescribed by the medical profession.
 Mrs. Nettleton graphically relates the particulars of her own case. which will doubtless be Of interest to many of our lady readers:
 ''I had been an intense sufferer for many years from dyspepsia, liverI and kidney troubles, when a pamphlet was placed in my hands, and, although at that time 1 had been bedridden for more than six months, determined, after reading some of he cases similar to mine, which had been completely cured by Vogeler's Curative Con- pound, to try some, especially as my doctors failed to even benefit me. and 1 had given up all hope of ever being well again. The very first dose of fifteen drops relieved me. It was not long before I was able to get up and about three months from taking the first dose l was enjoying better health than had been for fourteen years. I should not have been alive today had it not been for Vogeler's Curative Compound"
 Ms. Nettleton said: "I have recom- mended Vogeler's Curative Compound for indigestion and ezema, and in every case it has proved a cure, beyond doubt. Mir. Swinbank, our chem,st, has sent me the names of no end of people who have been cured by Voge- ler's Curative Compound. By the way, the proprietors have so much confidence in this great London physi- cian's discovery, that they will send a sample free to any person sending name and address, naming this paper. !"

A Normandy Injunction.

A strange old world privilege. dating back to the time when the Norsemen came to Normandy. was exercised last year in the island of Guernsey. It is called the "Claucur de Haro." By the ancient law of the island person who thinks his land rights are being in frnged upon has only to draw up q statement of the case. which he swears to before two witnesses. This he then presents 10 the bailiT of the island and, dropping upon one knee. cries out in French: "Oh, Rollo, my prince, succor me. an wronged"
 WE.s proceeding acts as an injunc- ton, and the person complained of as trespasser has to stay his trespass uu- til the matter has been adjudlcated up- ou by the courts. This right of issu- ing ouo,S own injunction by calling un- to Ro.lo was given to the people of Guernsey by Rollo or Hrolf, the Nor wegian pirate who made himself the first Duke of Normandy in 911, and there is probably no example of n legal procedure of like antiquity which is to- day carried out In the same way as that in which 1t w:s first instituted.

Drinking Through the NostriIs.

The Indian sages do not practice their breathing exercises simply for the sake of repose and sleep. During the inbreathing energy is increased. These Indians are not the only people who believe that with the inbreathing of pure air there comes something still more vital than oxygen. But the Indi- ans have developed the art of breath ing more than any other people.
 One of their favorite exercises is to inhale through the left nostril, to hold the breath for time and then exhale through the right nostril.
 Another of their exercises is to drink water through the nostrils, and after it has been retained for a short time it Is expelled through the nostrils and the mouth. This is said to cool the head Chambers Journal.

Greek Husband HOusekeepers.

In Greece it is the custom for the man of the house to go out early in the morning and not only to order tbe days food. but to send along with the boy who delivers it explicit orders how he wishes to have 1t cooked. In this connection it should be remarked that any man of Greece can cook any Greek dish. Grecian women seldom go to market and often do not know how to cook as well as their husbands.
 These people eat very lightly in the morning. the meal consisting of fruit. At noon comes the first real meal, the breakfast. From noon until 4 o'clock they sleep. This is tue mid- day siesta. To call Hpcn a Creek at this time were quite as rude as to call upon an American at corresponding hour in the morning. At o'clock an other light luncheon is eaten. The din ner, or hearty meal. is not eaten until late in the evening. sometimes as late as Q or 10 o'clock.-GoOd Housekeep- ing.

Tnc pirtn Of the Cicada.

Even when warm weather comes again and other cicadas sing gayly from their trees the subterranean exile remains within the ground. daily grow ing larger and stronger until second winter has come and gone. Then a stranger restlcssness possesses him, and, borrowing steadily upward, he at last emerges from his long retirement on some warm, moist August morning. A rough, horny, earth cOlored creature he is, with strong hooked feet and bulky body. Clumsy is he also, and, staggering along, he gropes blindly about for some perpendicular object, up which he laboriously begins to climb.
 Presently slight quiver shakes his form, and q little crack opens a-down his back. It seems almost as if his un- wonted exertions had actually burst his horny shell as the gaping wound reveals q mass of damp material with in. Slowly the split widens, and a broad and massive head equipped with two great shining eyes pushes upward through the opening, and we realize that the birth of a cicada is taking place.-Frank Leslie's Monthly.

Only One Clean Thing.

When Jones was at Oxford. he was a most excellent fellow. and had only one enemy-soap. He was called Dirty Jones. One day the wag Brown went into his rooms and remonstrating with him on the untidy. slovenly and dirty state of everything said:

PURE FOOD LAWS ENFORCED.
More Grocers Fined for Selling Alum
Baking Powders.


The ST. Louis papers report several
more grocers brought To trial upon the
charge of selling baking powders con-
tanning alum in violation of the law.
The parties were all convicted and each
fined 500.

been found by analysis to contain alum
have been offered in this market. They

In many places similar powders. un.

for sale at from ten to twenty cents a

Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the Kitchen.
There are several good powders on the
market; housekeepers will help the au-

when buying baking powder they will
insist upon having some of the we'll

takes this shot at Congress-
man Long: 1.-The failure of
Congressman Long to land
the job, which was clearly
within his reach, for Senator
Noftzger, indicates that the
years of work in Longs cause
will not be rewarded inst
yet. It has been said that
if Long is elected to the SEN
ate next winter, Senator
Noftzer would have the in
fiuence of Longs machine to
help him represent the Big
Seventh district in congress.

however, that it's influence

AWFUL WORK OF AN EXPLOSION
FEDERAL TROOPS ARE CONDUCT
ING THE WORK OF REMOv-
ING THE DEAD.
SORROWfUl SCENE AT THE MINE.
Walls AND WEEPING OF THE DEc--
REAvED WOULD TOUCH THE
HARDEST HEART.

San Antonio, Tex, Feb 4.-The latest
information from the Hondo Mex
mine explosion shows it to have been
fully as serious as at first reported.
There were over 100 miners at work
IN the mine when the explosion oc-
CURED, and all of the are dead. The
majority of the victims are Mexicans
and Chinament. Very few Americans
were at work in the mine.
Every mule in the mine was killed.
The work Of clearing away the wreck
In order to get at the bodies is being
rushed as rapidly as possible, but there
Is no hope that any of the men will be
rescued alive. The explosion was
caused by striking a gas pocket. The
loss to the owners Of the mine is very
heavy.
The mines have been taken in charge
by a force of federal troops who are
conducting the work Of removing the
mangled bodies of the dead. No official
Information is given out as to the num-
Der of dead, but it is stated that more
than 100 bodies have been. brought to
the surface and it is believed that there
are at least twenty other dead bodies in
the mine. The scene at the mine is in
describable. The wives and children of
the dead surround the building in
which the remains of their loved ones
are placed, and their walls and weeping
would touch the hardest heart.
