LITTLE NEGhC 40i
 WHO LIKES SNAKES
Pennsylvania Kid of Tender Years Who Plays with Vipers and
 Blacksnakes.

Harrisburg-Prof H. A. Surface, state economic zooiogist has found the Boy Snake Charmer of Harrisburg.
 The other day Prof Surface was engaged in sorting snaAes for his new volume. "On the SnaAes of Pennsyi- vania," when little black face ap- peared in the doorway, and squeahy little voice asked:
 Is heah Whah de snaik man lives?'
 The professor thought moment and then said that he was the man who was looking for snakes, if that was what was meant.
 The little fellow beamed and asked the professor if he would let him see some of his snakes.
 Certainly said the professor, and he went to his collection, where a live ly hissing viper and large black snake were coiled up. Both of these snakes are perfectly harmless, but the boy did mot know it. He was delighted over the snakes and the squirming anu twisting of their beautiful bodies seemed to charm him.
 When Dr. Surfaces attention was diverted to another part of the room the negro lad reached into the box and took out the missing viper, and fol lowed this by lifting out the blacl snake, which coiled about him. He was fondling the snakes when DI Surface turned, and the boy was ap parently not a bit afraid.
 The boys name is James Dean, an he is familiar object on Harrisburg streets, clad in 3 red sweater, short trousers and shoes that have seen bet ter days. He wears neither hat nor stockings. At the meeting of the Har- risburg Naturalists' club, Dr. Surface took Jimmy Dean as an object les son, and the little fellow handled the snakes as if they had always been his playmates. much to the astonishment of the members of the club.

DOG FLAGS TRAIN
 FOR HIS MASTER.
Trainmen Say Creature Thought It All Out and Make Him Mem
 Der of Their Crew.

Mount Carmel, Pa.-Bernard Dough erty, a, track walker employed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, company, is dead, but his works live after him.
 The fact was demonstrated in an extraordinary manner when Dougher- tvs dog, an aniable cur, who had never attracted any particular atten- ton during the six years he and his master had patroled up and down the strip of track that formed their 'sbeat,". stepped between the gleaming rails early one morning and, with the red signal of danger clutched tightly in his jaws, Jagged the Lehigh Valley express as it came laundering down toward the village.
 Circumstances connected with the finding of Dougherty's body show the track walker died some time during the night. says a Chicago Inter Ocean special. Whether it was instinct or training, or the power of logical thought that prompted the dog to stop the train is question that will have to be left to the psychologists, but the trainmen, who have adopted Dough

needed at the front and thousands aTe sulking at the rear, when the regiments of the Army of the Potomac and ot Virginia that marched forth in the springtide in such splendid array, with such crowded ranks, are silently, shab- billy slipping through the outskirts, mere ragged shadows of their former selves, yet to their everlasting credit be it said, loyal and subordinate still, and confident in their faith that they can yet whip Lee. It is a fortnight in which many and many a sad-faced sol dier comes away from the war depart ment, even from the white house, de- nied favor that at any other time would have been accorded as by right, and one September evening, Benton end the squire, summoned to accom- pany their senator to the president, are witnesses to a scene that wrings their very hearts.
 The squire has been long enough near Washington to become an ardent administration man. Only twice in the past has he seen the plain, unassum- ing western lawyer, the humorous M. c. who had not reputation enough to command an audience when in '59 he came to speak at the squire's home city, but later, when they met at the Fremont in Chicago, was the rival of the little giant, Douglas, in joint de- bate. Now, just as Douglas had held the nat of the victorious Lincoln dur ing his inaugural address, so would Squire Benton go to any length to back this inspired, and, as Benton is now beginning to believe, God-given leader. More troops must be had without de- lay is the burden of what the senator says. Will Benton. go west at once and use his utmost influence? Benton will. He has only come, he says, to assure himself that Fred is safe-to see Elinor, now scorning the sea breezes of Cape May and insisting on her right to be useful as nurse among the hos- pitals. Then the squire will start within the day. Meantime, says the senator, we must see the president, and then there is further mnttered conversation that Fred cannot hear, nor does he care to- His one thought, after seeing that Jack Chiffon lacks nothing one little word, per- haps, with Jacks no longer imperious sister-is to rejoin the division as 1t comes through with the now reorgan- izing corps. But, meanwhile, it is the senator's wish they should both go with him to the white house, and there, amidst the throng of impor- tunates in the ante-room. Fred is startled to see the colonel of a regi- ment in the First brigade holding low toned conversation with portly, dig nified man in black swallow-tailed coat, high stock and silken waistcoat, to whom their western statesman bows pith deference and then whisnarz tn

ABOUT CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
Hope for Relief Lies Mainly in Proper Diet and Hygienic ob-
 servances.

After repeated attacks of acute bron- chitis, especially in those past the mid dle of life, there is tendency for the dis ease to become established as chronic affection When this occurs perfect cure is hardly to be expected, unless, per haps, the patient is able to take up his residence permanently in warm cli- mate. Even when cure appears to have been effected the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes remains vulnerable. and very slight causes will then bring about urn of the trouble, says Youths )anion.
 There i: sually more or less cough accompanied by thick expectoration, es- chest is sore, and coughing excites a rasping pain. The heavy cough, return ing in repeated attacks and finally be- coming almost constant. at least from early summer well on into the autumn. at last causes dilatation of the air-cells in the lungs. This condition-pulmon- ary emphysema, as it is called-induces 8 sort of asthma in which expiration is difficult, longer than usual, and accom- panied by more or less wheezing.
 There is usually little to do for chronic bronchitis in the way of drugs The SO. called expecrorants or cough mixtures are needed, asa rule, only when there is afresh cold caught on top of the chron- ic condition At such times the cough may become racking and incessant and call for quieting remedies. Cod-liver oil is almost always good for these patients, unless it spoils the appetite. When it cannot be borne,-and when it can also
 the sufferer should eat plenty of butter and use cream freely.
 When the patient is gouty, not un- usual contingency, an antigout regimen should be adopted. If possible, the colder part of the year should be spent in a warm climate The dry air of the interior is preferable to the damp east winds of the Atlantic coast; but as the heart may be affected secondariIy to the lung trouble or to the, kidney trouble which is frequently associated with it, the high attitudes, such as the Rocky mountain region, are. to be visited with caution.
 As will be seen from the general line of treatment indicated. hope for suffer CTS from chronic bronchitis lies in doing all that is possible to keep the general condition built up by hygienic living and a generous diet.

CHAPTER XVIII.
TEE HEART OF LINCOLN.

: {
 Solemn days are these that follow. Eosing over a third Of its force engaged an this furious initial battle, the bri- gade shares the lot of the rest of the army and, after two days more oi fruitless fighting is ordered to fall bacs
 on Washington. Many of the woundeo officers have been sent ahead, without
 discrimination as to friend or foe and Benton's general, broken down by
 illness and exhaustion, is borne by am
 bulance to the capital, and bids Fred go in search of his prisoner friend
 How the tables of war have turned, Four months ago that young Virginian lay in clover at Charlottesville, petted and soothed by the prettiest girls to be found in the court of Queen Rosalie, while Benton, a prisoner patient, moped in hufy dignity and merited semi-ne- gIect. Now the Virginian lies in splints and a stuffy room in parboiled Wash Ington, far from the pretty girls of Albemarle, yet assiduously cared for by their queen. Washington is now one vast hospital, whose. walls echo night and day the moan of fevered sufferer, the dull thunder of distant guns, the rumble of rolling cannon, the tramp of soldier hosts, for Lee has leaped the Potomac and gone ca- xeering nOrthward toward the Pennsyl- yania line. Pope, Mcdowell and Sigel have retired in favor of Mcclellan, Hooker andt Porters the little chief again called to the fores, while the manager of the sack 1caInpaign sits down to figIre out the twistings, turn ings and doub1ings. of the hare that wouldn't be caught until there were hares enough to smother the hounds. It Is fortnight of fruitless recrimination, of pushing for place and not for the foe, of intrigue and islander, of loyal victims and disloya1 triumph. It is fortnight in which the fortunes of the union seem drifting to the lowest ebb, with all tIlesmud and slime and wreck age and putrescence hithefto hidden in the surging tide9o the campaign, nov revealed to public gazes R stench to public nostrils. 1t IS a fortrisht of

erty's dog, say the creature thinks and are treating him accordingly.
 During the six years they had lived together Dougherty had often allowed his dog to carry the flag as they walked out to stop the train in the morning, At daybreak to-day when the track walker did not appear the dog began a search for him.
 When the express train was nearly due the dog ran to his masters shanty and, prying the door open with his nose. snatched up the flag and trotted out to the tracks again.
 When the train rushed into view the engineer saw him standing there with the flag in his teeth. The train was stopped and the disappearance of Dougherty noted. A search was be- gun and the body was found in a thickets where the man had evidently fallen during an attack of heart fail- ure

HOW TO REMOVE STAINS.
Unsightly Spots BA Delicate Goods
 May Be Easily ahd Perman- is. ently Removed.

White linen or lawn that has beeh stained with coffee can be freshened by rubbing the spots with the yolk of an egg, to which has been added 20 drops of glycerin, stirred together; rinse of with warm water Scorch stains on white goods may be removed by squeez- ing lemon over the spot, sprinkling it with salt, and placing it where the di- rect rays of the sun will fall upon it, says the Housekeeper. When on deli cately tinted cotton goods, sprinkle the spot thickly with cornstarch and place in the sun, covering every part of the goods with newspaper except the part covered by the cornstarch. There really should be no chance of scorch stains on tinted goods, and there is no excuse for using a hot iron on it. a fatiron that is merely warm being advised for iron ing all colored garments.
 lSateens, whether French or domestic, may be cleaned by washing them in soapsuds made of luke warm water, white soap and cupful of salt Rinse in lukewarm water and salt stiffen with gum arabic solution and wrap in a large sheet Tn two or three hours iron on the wrong side These garments should not be hung out of doors at all.
 Many authorities hold that sateens and all dark colored lawns and cotton goods should never be washed with soap, advising the use of starch or rice water inAplace of soap. Any sort of starch may be used, but cornstarch is considered best Or, six quarts of water are put over the fire with pint of rice, and boiled; this water is strained away and used for washing instead of soapsuds. The starch is boiled, made very thin and both used tepid, but not hot. The garment should be washed in two starch or rice waters, then rinsed and blued, and in this case the gum arabic solution may be dis pensed with, since enough starch re- mains in the goods to stiffen them suffi- ciently, and when used in this way there is no chance of the garment becoming starch-streaked. If they are to be made very stiff, however, the gum arabic should be used. The starch water re- moves the dirt as we'll as the soap, ar6 there is no danger of starting the color or turning the goods rusty" as is az to occur when soan is reed.
