The house today passed the bill TO
increase the subsidiary silver coinage.
The democrats directed their fight chiefly
against the provision of the bill to re-
coin the standard silver dollars into
subsidiary coin as public necessities
might require. Half a dozen r~oll-calls
were forced.

bus public buildings and Notifications
appropriation bills were adopted and
the house adjourned until Monday.
The text of the subsidiary coinage bill
is as follows:
THAT the secretary Of the treasury is
hereby authorized to coin the silver
bullion in the treasury purchased under
the act of July IA, 1890 into such denom-
nations of subsidiary silver coin as he
may deem necessary to meet public re-
quirements, and, thereafter, as pubic
necessities may demand, to recon sill

in all its glory and was the centre of

George Ada had been for a visit to
the old home, at Layfaette, Ind, and
returned to Chicago reekiug with Hoo

a "street fair" recently held in that
place. Many Of the freaks of the fair
midway boarded with the keeper of a
cheap hotel, who consequently was at
liberty to visit, without charge, any
of the exhibits. One morning, after
the fair had been running few days

and told the proprietor that he and
his pap had brought load Of hay

skin and producing great redness and in
hammation little pustular eruptions form

dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,

almost unbearable; the acid burning

INTERESTING DEBATE.
The Soldiers Home to Ex-Confederates.

/ OF his countrymen, and express such
sentiments as he had, Mr.. DeArmond
said he hailed it as the dawning Of q
brighter and better day.
Mr.. DeArmond continued: "Mr.
Chairman, / think the time has already
arrived when in the North and the
South there is common sentiment Of
pride in the glory and manhood of the
American soldier of the war of the

great many, and, if we do not realize
it, our children will, when some of the
leaders OF the South vii! be pointed
to, north and south, east and west, as
the brightest ornaments Of our time.
Il believe that in all the Christian
era there has not arisen leader of

hood can do in its proudcst, most glo-
rious and successful moments than
Gen. Robert +. Lee. (Applausc)
81 am perfectly willing to stand by
the bill and the advocacy and support
Of it. There can be no greater charity
to the federal soldier, there can be
nothing better for the soldier Of the
North or the South than to furnish
him home when there is no homo
elsewhere. Far better than to dis
pense the pensions with lavish hand
or deal them out sharingly is it to fur
nish these old soldiers with the sur
roundings of the household where the
blasts of winter have no terror for
them and where they may prepare for
the final grand march across the
river"
Mr.. SnodgraSs, Of Tennessee, dis
cussed the legal and constitutional
phases of the proposition to admit ex-
Confederates to Union homes. He
took the view that the care of the
Union soldiers by the government was
in return for services rendered the
government and that if the homes
could be opened to needy ex-Confed-
crates they could be opened to any
other needy American citizen.
Mr.. Lamb, Of Virginia, opposed the
Rixey suggestion, contending that the
Union and Confederate veterans could
not live in harmony together because
the former would be in the soldiers
homes as a matter Of right while the
latter would be there as matter OF
charity.
Mr.. Hooker, Of Mississippi, the
one-armed Confederate, in brief but
vigorous speech argued that the Con
federates had not attempted to destroy
the foundations of the federal govern.
ment, but to preserve and defend the
principles underlying the Declaration
of Independence and the constitution
of 1889.

a Sure Cure for carbuncle.

Messrs. Editors: Seeing it stated in
your paper that a prominent citizen
of Due West had died from the effects
Of csrbuncle, I will give you treat
ment which | used in my practice and
never knew it fail in single instance
to cure the disease. And so satisfac.
tory was the treatment that firmly
believe it will cure every case in which
it is followed. To give the remedy
and mode Of treatment I will report
two Of the worst cases that came into
my hands.
The first was carbuncle on the
back of the neck Of an aged lady. 1t
was large, ugly looking one. Parts
much swollen, and pain very severe.
Up to the time I first saw the case the
treatment had been domestic, consist
ing mainly in the use Of poultices.
There were several openings in the
carbuncle having the characteristic
white, tenacious matter in them. I
took stick of caustic potash and
oauterized the diseased parts freely,
and then applied a slippery elm poul-
tce made by beating powdered elm in
hot water until Of proper consistcnce.
Next day the pain still continuing, 1
rc-applicd caustic going down to the
bottom Of diseased tissue, dressed
with elm poultice, and soon the pa
tient was'frec from all pain. Poultices
were continued until the cautcrized
tissue had all sloughcd off, leaving a
clean, healthy sore wich healed in a
short time.
The other case was also that Of an
aged lady, the carbuncle being stu
atcd on the back between the shoul-
ders. The parts were enormously
swollen, the swelling extending to
each shoulder, giving her the appear
ance of being badly hump backed.
The case had been under the treat
ment Of physician for some time. I
found the carbuncle completely honey
combed and every cavity full Of the
white, tenacious matter. Cauterized
thoroughly with caustic potash, going
down to the bottom of the carbuncle.
Applied slippery elm poultice, and
soon the lady was entirely. free from
pain, showing that the carbuncle was
completely destroyed. Continued
poultices until cauterized parts had
sloughed off when I had healthy
cavity about the size of the palm of
my hand. This was treated with
simple dressing being washed out care
fully every day with weak solution
of the caustic. This proved to be all
the antiseptic treatment needed. The
cavity filled up in reasonable time,
but the hump on the back was gone
many days before hand.
Where there is much fetor during
the sloughing pyroligneous acid may
be used to correct it. Whatever
other treatment is called for should
be given. Also proper nourishment
and the strength of system main
tanned.
This treatment will do to trust in
every case; and persons would do we'll
to cut it out and put away for an
emergenoy.-D. W. Reid, in A. R.
Presbyterian.

HIVE you ever noticed the interest
that money attracts even If IL is only
a single cent? The next time that you
see copper coin dropped In street
car just observe. Every eye in the
car will turn to the spot where it
dropped, and there will he manifested
n real general concern over its rccov-
cry. Two or three heads are likely
TO come In contact over the point of its
disappearance, and then their owners
will draw suddenly back and try to
appear unconccrncd, but I'm another
second they are again leaning forward.
The man who dropped the cent is
usually the first who appears to have
brushed memory of the trivial occur
renee aside, but just as soon as the
eyes in the car have turned from him
his own are sure TO 20 back to the
floor in the hope that the truant coin
will be seen.
When he has gone, there Is re-
newed interest among the passengers,
for the stage of "finders keepers" has
arrived, and those near the spot of
disappearance become quite diligent
until they are aware they make a cen
ter of attraction. But interest in that
little coin is not lost while there is n
passenger left, and when the car is
empty the conductor takes his turn
and resurrects the cent.-New York
Herald,
