To Avoid .Sea-Sickness.

A German, Dr., Eugene Wolf,
has found a cure for sea-sickness
which will be welcomed by those
who dread a voyage because they
are not good sailors" The cure
is very simple, as all the appliances
necessary are a basin of hot water
at eighty degrees and a couple Of
handkerchief. Whenever the ira
weller feels that he is becoming
giddy, he must lie fat on his back
on the cabin sofa or a deck chair.
The clothes are unbuttoned so that
there is nothing to hinder breath
ing, Then the handkerchiefs are
wrung out in the hot water aud
bound round the forehead. This
bandage must be made very tight,
which can be done by using a pen
holder, or something of the kind,
III . "
as a lever when twisting it. During
the first minute or two the sensa-
ton is not particularly pleasant,
but those who bear it are complete
ly cured, which is surely sufficient
reward for any temporary inconver-
fence. When the bandage begins
to get cold another must be put on
and the process continued, each
time with a hotter bandage, if
possible, until the patient is relieved
of the squeamish feeling. This
should be accomplished in about
half-an-hour. In very obstinate
c asses it may take an hour. While
under treatment the patient must
not eat, drink, or smoke. One of
the symptoms of sea.sickness is ex.
cessive thirst, which must be assn.
aged. If the patient has a craving
Tor food he may be given a little
dry toast and possibly hot water,
or weak tea without milk or sugar.
Smelling-salts and all the old.fash.
Toned remedies" are to be strictly,
avoided. Two hours after the cure
the patient need not fear a hearty
meal, smoking, or even drinking,
Those who undergo this treatment
at the beginning of voyage are
never troubled with sea-sickness,
even when the sea runs high.

"Our company has for some

sition of starting a line from

Washington, March 9.-Rep-
resentatives Of seed dealers from
a T Gus cities throughout The
country met in convention at the
New Willard to consider ways
and means of preventing The
house OF represent atives from
putting into the appropriation
bill the clause providing for the
free distribution of seed by the

was recently stricken out by the

No definite action was taken
yesterday. but influence will be
brought to bear on the repre-
sentatives favoring the continu-
ance Of the giving out of seed to
the farmers.
Inc stand taken by tt g seed
men Is that the government is
coming directly in competition
with them in furnishing seed,
and Is doing great harm to their
business.
They hold further that the in
telligent farmers of the country
are opposed 10 the distribution
and would prefer to buy their
seed in open market, where, it is
claimed, they get superior ar
ticle, and what they want, while
the seed sent by the department
rarely fits the needs of the plant

OF courling popularity with the

MIR. Bob. Iicklin's Heavy
Loss by Fire.

The many friends in Lancaster
county of Mr.. r. l.. Hicklin,

regret to learn of his recent severe
loss by fire, the following account
OF which is given by the Chester

Mr.. Robert Hicklin, of Rich

two barns aud all his corn and
roughness, one mule, his buggy
and surrey and farm implements
by fire about midnight Friday
night. His fowl house with all
his fowls was also burned, and it
was with difficulty that his dwell

save his property. His son sue

COWS out and had gotten the

picion that it was of incendiary

Prohibition in Monroe.
Judging from the Alarming
Increase in Liquor Pre-
scriptions the Whole Town
Must be Sick.
From Monroe Journal.

Liquor has always been regard
ed as an infallible remedy ior
snakebite, but The increasing
sales at the Monroe Medical De-
pository indicate that either
there are more snakes abroad in
the land or that the efficacy of
whiskey in great many more
troubles has been discovered
The opening paragraph of sec
tion fourteen Of the depository
law says:
"That it shall be unlawful for
any physician to make or give a
prescription for any Intoxicating
liquors, bitters, checkers or other
Intoxicating liquors or drinks b,
wha'ever name known or called
to or for any person who Is moi
in actual need of such liquors
for medicinal purposes, or to
make or give prescription for
any such liquors or drinks to or
for any person not BONA FIDE un.
der such physicians charge as Il
patient, and then only in good
faith for medicinal purposes
only"
Every month the keeper OF
the depository is required to sci
tie with the county commission
ers, giving an itemized statement
of all transactions. The reports
for the several months since the
depository was established show
a rapid increase in illness in the
county. The depository was es
tablished last June, and in that
month $61.60 worth Of "medi
cine' was sold. In the month
of February just closed the sales
were $412.05. At this rate OF
increase it will not be long till
the whole county will require
trained nursing. July, the sec
ond month of operation, there
was nearly a so per cent. increase
of sickness. Then the figures
mount up rapidly each month.

Mr.. Lanes 65th birthday. Four

a nice dinner was served and the
day was thoroughly enjoyed by
all. Mr.. Lane was the recipient
OF many presents. While the oc.
caslon was a most pleasurable
one, there was an element of sad.
ness apparent when the time for
separation arrived, for it was not
known how many would live to
see the next reunion.
Mr.. Lane talked most interest
ingly to yourcorrespondent about
his native home and about the
hardships of the war. Mr.. Lane
was born in the state of Maine.
When he was 90 years old he
joined the army, becoming a
member of the 18th Regiment Of
Maine Volunteers. He saw ser.
vice in the Army of the Potomac,
and was wounded at the battle
of Reames Station, Virginia.
After recovering from his wound
he returned to the army in Sep
tember, 1864.
Many of your readers will re-
call the famous raid made bv
Gen. Hampton on the rear of
Grants army, when over 5000
beef cattle were captured. Your
correspondent was there and
helped to eat some of the beef,
which was certainly fine-Well.
Mr.. Lane, was also there, but
was, Of course, on the "Cther
side.' AS one of Grants soldiers
he was helping to guard that lot
OF cattle. He was taken prisoner,
finally being sent to Salisbury, N.
G. He was released the 27th of
March, 1865. The war over he
decided to remain in the South.
In the fall Of '65 he married
Miss Reed, of Mecklenburg coun-
ty, N. G. After spending ten
years in North Carolina he came
to this State, locating in Lancas.

they live and from which they

was not illegible to the Office of
President because there flowed
too conspicuoasly through her

we lose or are forced to lose, a

Mrs. Bruce is classed with and
Unidentified with our race and has
as much right to an Office as the

the report is not true, for, if a
