Fortunes in Their Caps.

All the Jewesses in New Russia and
in Little Russia, as far as Galicia,
wear a huge, stiff and very unbecom-
ing cap, the foundation Of which Is
usually of black velvet, over which is
formed a complete network of pearls,
and this ornament they call the
"mushka." When rich and poor alike
the mushka is always nearly the same
in form, the only difference being the
greater Or less value of the pearls, and
occasionally, other precious stones at
tached to it. A girl in this way often
carries half her fortune on her head,
for these caps are generally worth
from $3.50 to $500, and some Of them
are even valued at several thousand
dollars. The mushka is worn alike on
holidays and working days, in tht
kitchen and ON the promenade, and
the head is often seen Respondent
with pearls when all the rest of tine
costume consists of comparatively
mere rags. This fashion gives rise to
a very extensive trade in pearls at
Odessa, Taganrong and other ports of
the Black Sea. Within the geographl-
cal limits in which the mushka is worn
there are supposed to be about 1000,
600 Jews. Now, supposing that among
them there are only 100000 adult
women, and that only half Of these
wear mushkas, though, in point of
fact, none but the very poorest and
the few who affect an ~aristocratic tone
are yer to be seen without the distin-
sguished ornament, and supposing that,
ION an average, each is only worth $3.50,
this calculation alone will give us a
capital Of nearly $4,000 900 invested
in the caps Of the Jewesses OF this
part Of the world.

Reads Like a Miracle.

Moravia, N. Y, July 17.-(Special)
bordering on the miraculous is the
case Of Mrs. BENZ. Wilson, of TINS
place. Suffering from Sugar Diabetes,
she wasted away till from weighing
o lbs. she barely tipped the scales
at $50 lbs. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
her. Speaking of her cure, her nus
band says:
MY wife suffered everything from
Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four
years and doctored with two doctors,
but received no benefit. She had so
much pain all over her that she could
not rest day or night. The doctors SAID
that she could not live.
Then an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills and they help
ed her right from the first. Five oXe
of them cured her. Dodd's Kidney
Pills were a God-sent remedy to us
and we recommend them to all suffer-
ing from Kidney Disease"

last-a mental difficulty that finally has
defeated him after years of heroic suf-
fering that resulted from a wound re-
ceived in the war of the rebellion.
The battle of Corinth, where he re-
ceived the wound that cast a shadow over
his entire subsequent life, is the event
that is uppermost in his thoughts, now
confused beyond hope of repair. 1t was
at Corinth that Col. Henderson, then a
captain in an Iowa regiment, received
a wound in the foot which resulted in
amputation after amputation, until at
last almost the whole of one leg had
been removed by the surgeons.
Co. Henderson had been in fair health
until he was laid low by the stroke Of
paralysis. He was able to converse ra-
t~ionally with his family and friends at
most times, but since the acute attack
he has been incompetent of mind and
physically he is barely able TO move
across his room at the Hotel Julien. The
recent stroke affected his right side, and
aside from this he suffers constantly
from insomnia. Even in MS brief periods
of sleep he imagines himself either on the
battlefield or in the legislative halls at
Washington, shouting out his orders and
parliamentary rulings with the great
voce that time has never weakened.

FAMED MIND m BLIGHT.
ES.Speaker Henderson Now a Mental
and Physical Wreck.

Living over again the days of his glory
on the battlefield, sending messages to
imaginary secretaries as if he still We're
one of the chiefs of the nation, Col. Da-
vid Il. Henderson Of Iowa is existing at
his Dubuque home in an enfeebled men,
tai state that threatens to carry him to
the grave.
Calling for his musket and dwelling in
fancy amid the battle scenes of forty
years ago, the man who has devoted the
better part of his life to the service of
his country as soldier, statesman and ora
tor, is a pitiful wreck of his former self.
Paresis has set its seal upon him, and a
stroke of paralysis, suffered three weeks
ago. has brought him to a condition
which physicians pronounced hopeless.
Not long & Speaker of the national
House of Representatives. and therefore
second only to the President of the Unit

Is only the shadow of his former self,

doomed to disappointment.

He will continue to hold the Office until

Gen. Blackmar's death was a great
surprise and shock to his friends at his

fortnight ago and sent by his physicians
to his country home at bingham, but
soon apparently improved so much that
it was deemed safe to permit him to con-

early in the year.
The late Grand Army commander was
born at Bristol, Pa, July %, 1S41. He
enlisted in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania

distinction through the war, and at Five

An Important Legal victory.

Allen s. Olmsted, of lie Roy, N. Y, has
the courage OF his convictions. He Is the
inventor and proprietor of Foot Ease" a
well-known proprietary article Of merit and
enjoying a large sale all over the world. Mr..
Olmsted has been a heavy advertiser and,
backed up by the superior quality Of the
article he has offered to the public, has been
able to make a trademark Of great value.
Others have noted this with jealous eye and
have sought, by underhand methods and by
copying, to steai-'steal' Is the word ex-H
actly fitting the crime-the benefits to be
had from confusing the mind Of the public.
Mr.. Olmsted engaged eminent counsel and
brought his dishonest competitors right up
into the Supreme Court OF New York State,
which recently granted an injunction with
costs, restraining the offenders from max
Ing or selling a foot powder resembling AL
lens Foot-Ease In outward form or design
or otherwise, the article which Mr.. Olmsted
had made a household word on two conti-
nents. This Is where Mr.. Olmsted showed
the courage Of his convictions, for another
man might have smarted under the sting of
imitation, unfair competition and substitu-
tion, and accepted the situation with sour
grace without doing anything In particular.
The entire advertising fraternity Of the
United States owes n debt Of gratitude to
Allen S. Olmsted, of lie Roy, N. Y, the
owner Of the trademark 'Foot-Ease," for
taking this Arm stand against the bucca-
neers OF trade who, having no inventive
power themselves, are always willing to
profit by another's brains and, by methods
akin to those of the bushranger, become
social highwaymen In stealing the benefits
Of long, extensive and clever advertising.

The department of agriculture has
prepared papers in 1000 suits to be
brought against the railroads of the
country, asking that in each case a
fine of $500 be assessed for a viola
ton of the so-called 2S-hour law, pro-
viding for the humane shipment of
cattle. Nearly every railroad from
Maine to California is involved. The
suits will be filed in the circuits
courts of the United States and judg-
ments will be asked for the benefit
of the federal treasury. The evidence
against the railroads is so clear that
the attorneys for many of the big ON
panies have already begun negotiating
with Secretary Wilson with Il view to
having him agree to a compromise.
The law under which this wholesale
suing is to be done has been on the
books since 1878, but the railroads
have never given it much thought and
still less observance. 1t requires rail-
road companies transporting cattle
from one state to another to unload
the animals after they have been in
the cars for twenty-eight hours, feed
and water them and give them a rest
for at least five hours. Failure to do
SO is punishable by a fine of from 500
to $500.

time to time the receipts Of moneys by
the government from unknown persons.
This account is popularity called the

styled on the books of the Treasury
Department. In fact, there is no "con-

ed are covered into the general treas
ury as miscellaneous receipts, and may

may deem proper. Remittances are re-

there are two or three contributions a

not signed. Frequently they are for
warded by clergymen at the request
of penitents. AS nearly all the COM
