BOLD BANK ROBBERY.
The Bandits Secure Between Five
and Ten Thousand Dollars.

and Ten Thousand Dollars.
A band of masked robbers rode into
the village Of Gilbertsville, N. Y, at
3 O'Clock Wednesday morning, blew
open the modern and supposedly bur-
glar proof safe in the private bank of
E. Q. Brewer, and made good their
escape with booty estimated at be.
tween So, 900 and $4,000. When the
startled villagers we're awakened by
the muf1led roar Of the explosion and
had been halted by the pistol fire of
the retreating bandits, they found
that the robbers had completely isola-
ted Gilbertsville from the outside
world by cutting all the telegraph and
telephone wires. Efforts to commune
cate with neighboring towns were fu-
tile The bold attack rivals In the de-
tails of its thoroughness, Its daring
and Its success the exploits OF the
most notorious bandits of the western
country.
tits believed there were five men in
the band. That all were heavily arm
ed was shown by the frequency OF their
fire when the villagers arrived near
the bank. The men first pried open
the front door of the bank. Not o
light glimmered in the village and
they evidently set about their work
leisurely. Two holes were drilled into
the heavy steel doors Of the newly in
stalled safe, and into these the explo-
sive, believed to have been nitrogly-
cerine, was inserted. The explosion
which followed wholly wrecked the
safe and shattered every window in
the bank building. The robbers hasti-
ly gathered up all the money exposed
by the explosion and started on q run
just as the first OF the awakened vii
layers reached the scene. Other resi-
dents quickly came up. but In the
meantime the Invaders were making
good their escape, firing as they went.

February is month of severe storms and intense cold.
 Even in the South where the pre- vailing temperature is much above wintry attitudes, February brings sudden changes of temperature.
 Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees in single night.
 Therefore, the following health hints are applicable to the whole of North America:
 Ventilation.
 The sleeping rooms should be we'll ventilated, but so as to avoid direct currents of air. Bathing.
 Those in vigorous health should take a cold water towel bath every morning before breakfast. Those in feeble health should take brisk dry towel-rub every morning. Dicf.
 The diet should be generous one, including meat, and occasionally fresh vegetables. Sunshine.
 The nights being long and the days short, as much sunshine as possible should be let into the house during the day.
 Clothing.
 The head should be kept cool at all times. The feet should be kept warm and dry, day and night. Pu-ru-na.
 When unavoidably exposed to cold or wet, few doses of Peruna will avert bad consequences. PrecaufF0n.
 When seized with chill, or even slight chillipess, dose of Peruna should be taken at once.

WAS SAVED FROM SUICIDE
By Half Second Sleep and the Study
 ofDrenms While Bell Falls.

A well-known man in England had among his ancestors number of men and women who committed suicide. He himself became melancholy, and his children, who knew the hereditary taint were much worried about him. A physician told him that mental fa- tigue was his trouble and persuaded him to try an experiment. The man was a very busy man and scoifed at the idea of taking nap in the middle of the day. He finally agreed to the following. He would sit up in his easy chair every afternoon with his hands over his knees, holding a din her bel! in both his hands. If he lost consciousness and went to sleep he would be willing to sleep for so long time as it would take for the dinner bell to fall to the floor and wake him up.
 The doctor who suggested this ar engagement declared that the real men tai relaxation of going to sleep, if only for few seconds, would suffice to save him. Re invited his patient to study activity of the brain by notic. ing how many things he would dream while the dinner bell was falling to the floor.
 Every day for sev eral months the man with the suicida! heredity sat down after luncheon witt, the dinner bell in his hands. Every day he went to sleep, slept for half a second, while the bell fell to the floor, and his men, tai condition improved steadily, partly because of the rest which his mind got by losing consciousness for sec ond, and partly because of his interest in the extraordinary dreams which passed through his brain while the bell was falling.
 These dreams carried him all over the world, and seemed 10 last indefin- itely. A dozen or more human beings were mixed up in them. A long suc- cession of events, which were perfect ly clear, passed before his eyes, grad ually interrupted by sound from distance, which at first would mix in with the dream, and ultimately would prove to be the dinner bell striking the floor. The ordinary person who says he has been dreaming all night probably does not realize that he actu- ally dreamed about a second and a half while he was waking uD-TOn don World.

In the fall of 1895 Icontracted that fear. full disease, Blood Poison. It gained such headway that was forced to resign my position and seek relief at Hot Springs. After spending all the means had went to Memphis. In less than three weeks was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of suffering I was discharged as cured. In less than month every bone in my body seemed to be affected and felt as if they would break at the least exertion. Again I was compelled to resign, and returned to the hospital for a seven weeks stay. When l came out was advised to try farming. When first went on the farm prevailed on the only firm who handled drugs to get me one dozen bottles of s. s. s. . At that time both of my hands were broken out with blisters and was covered with boils and sores In the meantime my druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of s. $. $. for me and began its use, and after taking the thirteenth bottle not sore or boil was visible.
