a Pnoumonjs Cure

DR.. Henry Altshed, of New York,
says iodide of potassium is a sure cure
for this dread disease. In recent
number OF the Medical Record he
points out that this medicine kills the
pneumococus without doing any injury
to the patient, and says;
"Observations on sixty-two cases of
my owp, extending over a period of
twelve years, without death directly
attributable to the disease, and over
three times that number of cases treat
ed by colleagues at my request, with re-
suits approximately similar, have
caused me to question If iodide of po-
tassium is not as much a specific in
lobar pneumonia as is quinine in ma
laria and iron in anaemia.

What's f,,e Matter with Him ?

DR.. William A. Harroun, of Denver,
CoLo., has refused to accept Sl,SOO,OOO,
and there was no string on the vast for
tune. It was willed to him and he de-
cided that he did not want it, on the
ground that it would be better If his sis
ter, Mrs. ]. M. Lewis, of Portland, Me.
had the money.
Doctor Harroun sent the following
telegram to his sister last Saturday.
81 will not accept cent of money. 1t
is all yours. This is final"
William A. Harroun is the direct
heir of James A. Harroun, who died a
few weeks ago in Ireland. The de-
ceased was a brother of Doctor Har-
roun's father, and the last of the broth
ers to die. A number of years ago an
agreement was made that the last to die
should leave all his estate to the Oldest
living son of any of the brothers. This
happens to be Doctor Harroun.

The Monument Was a RHfsHt

A stately granite shaft had been
erected in the cemetery of Massachu-
sets town in memory of a man whose
life had been anything but praise
worthy. None the less the monument
was one of the sights to be shown to a
stranger, and one day former resident
of the town who had been away for
many years returned and was taken to
see the granite obelisk. He was no
stranger to the faults and failings of the
man whom it eulogized with it's gilded
inscription, after silent contemplation
of the shaft on all sides he said: "Well,
if it's for goodness it's too big, and if it's
Cor badness it's not big enough. "-Ex.

Old no Have q Presentiment?

Whether M. L. Starr had PRESENT.
ment Of death or not may never be
known, but the records of the superior
court indicate that he was preparing to
take care of his wife when death in a
railroad accident near Hatton, WASH,
overlook him on the 9Th of December
last, says the Spokes-Review. Accord
ing to the complaint filed, Mr.. Starr
took out a policy for $4,000 in the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company of New
York on the 30th of November, nine
days before his death, and six days be-
fore he received the injuries which cost
him his life. Because he paid his first
premium with a note, which his wife,
as plaintiff, claims was accepted as cash,
the defendant company has not paid
the policy and has waited until appeal
has been made to the courts. So
quickly did death overtake the man af-
ter subscribing to the policy that the
parchment itself had not been made
out. The dispute has arisen over the
terms of the note and of the policy, the
plaintiff holding to one Interpretation
and the defendant to another.

a CssY1p for Love

Into pint of the water of oblivion
put of the essence of resignation two
grains, and of sound judgment one
grain, mix we'll, and after they have
stood some time, take off the scum OF
former remembrance and sweeten the
whole with syrup of hope; pass it
through the filter Of common sense, by
the funnel of CONVECTION into the bottle
of firm resolution, stopping it tightly
with the cork of indifference. Take a
drachm night and morning or oftener
IL the constitution will bear it reducing
the dose as the disease decreases.
The above was handed in for publ
cation last week by Miss Eva Ross, but
in some way was overlooked. We are
not sure that we have ever seen the
recipe published before, and it may
benefit some love lorp lOony. The fol-
lowing is the Texas cHre for the same
malady and has meyer before been pub
lished. 1t is very simple and the ingre,
dents can be had almost anywhere
Take equal parts OF scrap iron, leather
shavings and strong vinegar. Let il
stand forty-eight houTs. A table spoon
full ID a dose and will usually cure.

First Prayer In Congress

The following is the identical first
prayer in Congress, made by the Rev.
Jacob Duche, gentleman of great elo-
quenee. 1t is historical curiosity:
o, Lord, our heavenly Father, high
and mighty King Of kings, and LORD OF
lords, who dost from Thy throne behold
all the jewellers Of the earth, and
reignest with power supreme and UNI
controlled over all the Kingdoms, En-
pires and Governments! look down in
mercy, we bcseech Thee, on these
American States, who have fled to
Thee from the rod of the oppressor, and
thrown themselves on Thy gracious
protection, desiring to be henceforth
dependent only on Thee. To Thee
they have appeared for the righteous
ness Of their cause; to Thee do they
now look up fQr shat countenance and
support which Thou alone canst give.
Take them, therefore, heavenly Father
under Thy nurturing care. Give them
wisdom in council and valor in the
field. Defeat the malicious designs of
our adversaries; convince them OF the
unrighteousness of their cause; and If
they still persist in sanguinary pur-
poses, Oh! let the voice of Thine own
unerring justice, sounding in their
hearts, constrain them to drop the
weapons of war from their unnerved
hands in the day Of battle. Be Thou
present, o God of wisdom, and direct
the counsels of this honorable assem-
bly,. Enable them to settle things on
the best and surest foundation, that
the scenes of blood may be speedily
closed, and order, harmony and peace
may be effectually restored, and truth
and justice, religion and piety prevail
amongst Thy people. Preserve the
health of their bodies and the vigor of
their minSs; shower down upon them
,an% the millions they here represent,
such temporal blessings as Thou seest
expedient for them in this world, and
crown them with everlasting glory in
the world to come. All this we ask, in
the name and through the merits of
Jesus Christ, Thy Son. our Savior,
