In the fall of 1895 I~contracted that fear
full disease, Blood Poison. 1t gained such
Roadway that l wa forced to resign my
position and seek relief at Hot Springs.
After spending all the means 1 hadI went
to Memphis. In less than three weeks I
was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of
suffering 1 was discharged as cured: In
less than a month every bone in my body
seemed to be affected and felt as if they
would break at the least exertion. Again
l was compelled to resign, and / returned
to the hospital for a seven weeks stay.
When 1 came out / was advised to try
farming. When l frs: went on the farmI
prevailed on the only firm who handled
drugs to get me n dozen bottles of SIS.
S. At that time both of my hands were
broken out with blisters and w~ascovered
with boils and sores. In the meantimemy

after taking the thirteenth bottle not a

ares. 1t would be difficult to improve
on it's construction, but a Wisconsin
inventor thinks he has an improved
shoe eyelet which Should be popular.
In his design the lower eyelets are the
same as those generally used. the i'm
provement being i'll the upper 'eyelets.
These latter are similar to the round
eyelets, except that they are open OH
the upper side to receive the lacing.
The eyelets are reinforced by a
tongue which is tapered at the end,
so that it can be passed through the
leather and clinched Oh the under side
of the shoe, a metallic plate being in
serted between the outer and inner
facings Of the leather. This plate cor
responds in shape to the eyelet open
ing in the leather, this consisting of a
slot with q baX-shaped mouth. A series
of these slots near the edges OF the
leather form a series of tongues. In
lacing up the shoe the lacing cord Is
drawn through the slots into the eye
lets and then across the lacing slit of
the shoe to the cyc!et OIL the other
side, so that the cord passes under the
lower portion Of the tongue and over
the upper portion. This naturally
presses the eyelet against the foot of
the wearer and prevents it from being
bent out of position. The intervening
plate reinforces the leather around the
eyelet and prevents it from tearing
out, giving rigidity to the fastening

A Lively Wild Cat.

1t is not commonly accepted that the
wildcat is so vicious as to attack hui
man beings, and this section has lately
furnished the cat that proves the ex-
ception to the rule. Albert Dennis, q
guard at the Yarn Turpetine Com
pany's convict camp, was attacked by
a monster cat in Gillette Creek, not
more than a mile from the camp, and
had he not used unusual presence OF
mind would most likely have been. torn
to pieces. The young mar was return
ing to his quarters at a rather late hour
from an evening pleasantly spent with
his parents three miles distant, and
upon reaching the swamp of the creek
was literally held, at bay by the cat,
which held the pass to the bridge be-
yond and refused to move when adj
vanced upon by Mr.. Dennis. The
young man was armed only with q
clasp knife, and with his weapon he
waded into the brute, kicking him
over first. The cat sprang quickly upon

of a pair of projectors in the shape

any such attempt. If the gas com'

necessary to make any adjustment the
arms can be resealed with the official

that the beams that stream from this
