blown violently through the nostrils,
though sounding as IL driven through

piercing, which one not SO much hears

A "Slidina" Boat.

Some experiments made on the
Seine recently with a remarkable
automobile boat of a new type yield
ed surprising results. The boat is
described as a Slider" from the
fact that it really glides upon the
surface of the water, leaving no
wash whatever, and not through
the water. With a motor OF four
teen horsepower the extraordinary
rate of speed of eighteen miles an
hour was reached on a measured
hlometer. The boat is 10 feet s
inches long by 9 feet 9 inches broad
and is described as q launch"
though her shape is quite unusual
for that class of boat. Along the
keel are FIVE inclined planes, the
pressure upon which when the mo.
tor begins to act lifts the bottom OF
the boat to the surface. Count G.
de Lambert is the inventor. The
motor is q Dion.

said that insects DO not trouble where
aromatic spirits or toilet vinegar are
used. A decoctiou of dried vervain
leaves is claimed to disgust the hum

had of the druggist, and should be
stepped as one does tea, strained and
the liquid rubbed on the exposed parts
of the body. Spirits of camphor or
elderberry-water may be used. A
small quantity of solution of menthol
or camphor-phenique, or ofequal parts
of camphor and ammonia are said to
diminish the irritation of the sting or
bite. A touch of turpenline or coal
oil is also recommended. For bee
stings, a fresh onion or leek, cut in
two and rubbed on the spot is also
said to be good. Liquid sulphur, it

man, believing that the mill owners
had known all along that the boiler

ton such an epitaph.

prize fighter the surviving brother Of
the man wanted to put in glass case
beside the grave championship belt,

that such an inscription would lay

A terrible affair happened Monday
at Villamanrique, in the province Of Sc
vile, Spain. Twenty little girls were
playingin the fields. They initiated a
religious procession-made little ban
ners of handkerchief and turned their
toys into images ofsaints. They were
marching through the field, singing
some sort of chant, when eight wild
bulls, enraged by the noise and the
futtering banners, escaped from a
neighboring drove and attacked them
furiously in a hollow Of the field.
The children could not get away, and
terrible scene followed. The mad
animals impaled them on their horns,
tossed them, trampled upon them, and
gored them while on the ground.
Nine of the children were killed and
six seriously injured.

Had Mind Of An Infant.

Jack Harry the l6-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Harry, Of
New York, who, though of more than
average physical development, had
the mind Of an infant, is reported to
be undergoing a marvellous mental
growth as the result OF simple sys-
tenn of physical manipulation at the
hands of DR.. Edward S. Howard, an
osteopath with original ideas about
treatment for spinal trouble.
Many doctors have pronounced
Harry an idiot who would never de-
velop normal sense, and when the
boys parents came to New York last
winter and he went with the other
children to DR.. Houghton's Sunday
school in the Little Church Around
the Corner he could not sit up straight
but had to be supported. DR.. How
ards attention was called to the boy
and he diagnosed his case as imperfect
connection between the brain centers
and the spinal cord, the brain being
in his opinion healthy. The patient
was placed under his charge and
showed almost immediate improve
ment.
Now, after three months, he carries
himself erect and is able to spell words
although he could not articulate
plainly enough to make himself I'M
derstood except by his mother, and
gives every promise of attaining to q
state of normal intelligence.
