"Captain John Rost, the physician
who has proved that common salt is
N excellent remedy for cancer, has a
brusque, unexpected sort OF wit" said
q surgeon of New York.
"Captain Rost was for time in
private practice. He did we'll; he ef-
fected some remarkable cures; but he
had no patience with the imaginary
ailments of a certain type Of rich per-
son, and, to escape treating people
who were not realty sick, he turned TO
original research.
GA matron of wealth was one OF
Captain Rost's early patients. She
was never i'll, but eternally feared that
some dreadful disease was about to
attack her.
"One afternoon she sent for ROst
posthaste. He found her in first rate
health. She was only afraid that, on
account OF the da dampness, it might be
unwise for her to 60 to the theateI
that evening.
g" Go, by all means. 1t won't hurt
you,' said DR.. ROst.
"Then he took his leave. But, at
he was putting on his gloves in the
hall, a servant called him back. The
woman wanted to see him again.
"Oh, Doctor, she said on his re-
turn. Il wanted to ask you if 1 nigh,
eat some oysters after the theater.'
"Yes, madam, he answered grave
ly, shells and all,'"

Mountain Of Soap.

In . mountain near Elko, New,
there is an inexhauetible supply of
pure soap, according to the Kansas
City Journal. One may enter the
mine with . butchers knife and cut
as large q piece as he wants. It is
beautifully mottled, and on being ex.
posed to the air hardens somewhat.
The mountain of clay is of fine tex
ture, end it contains boracic acid, soda
and borate of lime. Its color is given
it by the iron and other minerals. In
its natural state it is rather strong in
alkali and removes ink and other
stains readily. At one time it was
used in all the lavatories of the Pull.
man cars, but a. soon as the fact be.
came generally known the cakes were
carried away by travellers As souvenirs
The railway company could not sup
ply the demand, go it was forced to
discontinue its use.

A Girl Achieves Fame as a Nimrod.

Miss Pearl Eddy, one of last years
graduates of the high school at Spo-
kane, is credited with performing q
courageous act, last week, says the
Spokesman Reriew, and acquiring q
beautiful cougar skin to show for her
heroism. 1t is stated she shot the
big animal with % rifle and dropped
him at the first shot.
The story, as brought down from
Idaho, is in substance, as follows
Miss Eddy is camping on homestead
she has taken up on the st. Maries
river. As she came out OF her cabin
the other morning she saw big cougar
standing near the path. She went
into the cabin and brought out her
little % rifle, the only weapon she
had, concluding to take shot at the
king of the mountains.
The first shot struck the cougar in
the back and broke his backbone.
With the animal writhing and howl.
ing in its agony, she deliberately filled
it with % bullets till it ceased its
struggles and was dead. The cougar
measured nine feet from nose to tip of
tail, and is fine specimen.
The feat OF killing a cougar with .
% rifle at the fsst shot is q wonderful
thing in itself, but the fact that a
young lady had the courage to attack
the animal without q chance of as
sistance, should anything happen, has
made Miss Eddy a heroine in the St.
Maries. For single. handed bravery
Miss Eddy has none too many equals,
judging by her act in killing cougar
with toy weapon.

HOW BLAINE WAS DEFEATED.
By the Three fsteful Words Of Dr.. Burchard
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion

Frank W. Mack, In Harper's Weekly.
Standing between the two men on
the staircase of the Fifth Avenue hotel
that October morning in 1884. l heard
the Rev. DR.. Burchard hail James G.
Blaine as the leader OF Republican
hosts against "the party whose ante
cedents had been Rum, Romanism and
Rebellion" My gaze had been fixed
intently upon DR.. Burchsrd's earnest,
slow.moving face as he spoke, but in
stantly the famous ALTERATION reached
my ear 1 turned to see how Blaine re.
ceived it. l felt that something had
happened-something large, impor-
tant. But Mr.. Blaine had not been
so impressed. Indeed, l do not believe
he heard the three fateful words. II is
my conviction that while they reached
his ear they were not then carried to
bis brain. His eyes we're gazing over
the heads of the crowds below him.
They were seeing, but not observing
eyes. He was wearied by travel, anx-
ious about the election day crisis,
which was then less than one week
away. Surely he was safe in the hands
of a company of clergymen who were
there to help him. They had gath
cred, he was there, the Oratory was
pouring over him. Might he not relax
without fear? And so, believe
Blaine's mind was somewhere away off
busy perhaps with other plans.
A Presidential candidate was in
deadly peril, but did not know it. He
was being defeated among his adher'
herents five days before the battle o
the ballots. The hostile words of the
friendly old preacher hoated past him
unheeded; in his response he failed te
rebuke them, and the supreme mo
ment OF opportunity had gone by
Destiny had waited just around the
corner" but turned now away and
laid q new trial for history.

DONT'S FOR SLEEPING.
Some Simple Suggestions Which Will Go Fa
for Health and Comfort.

Tor Health and C0mfOrt.
Don't lie with the knees huddled up
until they touch the chin. Such a
practice cramps the muscles and really
puts a greater strain on them than a
long walk in the open air would in
duce. You subject yourself to strain
for which there is neither benefit ror
compensation, and the restfulness
which sleep should induce is lost.
Worse, you are spending both muscu-
lar and nervous force which should be
reserved for the needs of the walking
hours.
Don't lie with the hands clasped
above the head. This not only strains
the muscles of the arms, but those OF
the chest and shoulders as we'll, and
the deep, regular breathing which
should accompany sound and restful
sleep is then difficult OF accomplish.
ment.
Don't lie on the chest or stomach
with the hands supporting the face
and the face itself pressed into the
pillow. Just as surely as you follow
this pernicious practice just so surely
will you cultivate round shoulders, q
hollow chest, and shallow breathing
Those exasperating little hollows
which appear around the neck and
shoulders are often distinctly traceable
to this bad habit, and in addition the
head acquires forward droop and a
hang which is far from being becom-
ing.
Don't ever, under any circumstances
sleep with the head covered up in the
bedclothes. For healthful sleep con.
slant circulation of pure air is neces'
sary; and with the head all covered
up under the clothes the lungs are
forced to breathe the same air time
after time until they become poisoned
with their own exhalations. Oxygen
is necessary TO the maintenance ol
life; and in breathing the oxygen
which is inhaled into the lungs is ex
hailed as carbonic acid gas, a poison
which in sufficient quantity has been
known to kill.
Above all, don't sleep in any part o
the clothing worn during the day.
The practice is disgustingly unclear
and makes for i'll health.

To Kill Cabbase Worm.

An exchange recommends the FOL
lowing for destruction of tho cabbage
worm: Sprinkle the plants with water
ct temperature OF 14O degrees. The
heads should not be sprinkled too lonl
at one time. One good spray and
pass to the next. repeating in . shor'
time if the worms show life or are moi
hit by the spray. There is not
particle danger to the cabbage if one
is particular as to the temperature o.
the water.

A FOUNTAIN which spouts several
hundred gallons OF pure cotton.seed
oil every minute is in operation in
Georgia's exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
The oil shoots upward ten feet inside
a glass case. A pleasing effect, as the
oil clings to the glass in falling back
to the basin, is caused by the rays of
the varicolored electric lights. AZ
Georgia's exhibit is in the very center
of the big palace, the fountain has
proved one OF the pleasing features.

When the yellow leaves are whirling
In the cool and bracing air,
Dancing, whirling, falling, rustling
All about us everywhere.
When November leaves are falling
And the birds are heard no more,
Softly to their mates a calling
Then the summer days are DER.
When November winds are signing,
When the frost is on the pine
With the rain-drops softly falling
Then farewell to summer time.

Northern Pacific Railway Company to Be
Equipped With New System.
1t is reported that the Northern Pa
cific will shortly equip its main line
with what is known in the electrical
world as the telegraphone system.
In its operation the telegraph wires
are used for sending messages by both
combining in its operation both the
telegraph and telephone processes
simultaneously. This is accomplished
by the use OF different currents for
each system, so that neither interferes
with the other. It is possible for
train crews to use the telegraphone at
any point ON telegraph line equipped
with relays, and the device is said to
be invaluable in case of accident or
wreck, as the wires may be connected
at any point on the road and com.
munication established.
