with E. w. Moutry. T. Dunbar, A. J..
Castell and r. J. Huff at the head,
to erect big plunge bath at the ar

sword, not a glittering spear, nor even
a bow and arrow, but a trumpet and
empty pitcher and lamp. Softly but
firmly they crept into the enemy's
camp, and at the proper signal they
smashed their pitchers and waved
their lamps and shouted through their
trumpets: "The sword of the Lord
and of Gideon!' And the Midianites,
terrified beyond measure, fed in wild
confusion.
But why was not the battle cry
merely "The sword of the Lord?" Why

The struggle Of God and Gideon in
the world Is one and the same struggle

BOOTHS GRAVE NOT NEGLECTED.
Actors Monument in Mt. Auburn Shows
Only Usual Marks of Time.

Although Charles Leonard Fletcher,
writing to New York newspaper, states
that the grave of Edwin Booth in Mount
Auburn cemetery is in neglected con-
dition and that the headstone is insecure
on its base and is badly cracked, an ex-
animation of the grave and the monu-
ment does not bear out the statement
The Booth lot, which is situated near
the corner of Orange path and Mound
avenue, just at the right of the cemetery
tower, is excellently kept and all the
surroundings of the graves of Booth, his
wife and his son are seemly and in per-
feet order.
Booth died in 1903, and his headstone
which was erected soon after, has there
fore endured the weathering of nearly
fifteen years. 1t does show the marks
of time in come degree and there is a
slight crack about midway of the stone
where a bronze bas relief of the actor is
secured; this crack. however, is not likely
to extend for years to come The head
stone is not "tottering," as the New York
newspaper claims, but is fastened Sc
curely to its base. Moreover, it cannot
be learned at the cemetery office that
the officials of Mount Auburn have con-
Grossman, Booths daughter, and that
the Players club will cooperate with the
family in repairing the headstone, if il
shall be found necessary. Boston Trans

An attack of gladstone collie in it's
severest form is one of the most painful
affections which humanity is ever call
ed upon to endure. Fortunately it is
not a very common affection, and it is
not always so painful, but one never
knows when it may become so; hence
the occurrence of one attack, however
mild, is a danger signal which the suf-
ferer will do well to heed.
The pain is due to the passage of a
gladstone through the bile duet toward
the intestine, and varies from mere dis
comfort to intense agony, according to
the size Of the stone. The pain usually
begins suddenly, when the stone enters
the duct leading from the gall bladder
to the intestine. and ceases with equal
suddenness when the offending body
drops out of the bile duet into the in
testine. The pain is sharp, usually con-
tinuous, but occasionally Intermittent,
and may last from few hours to sew
eral days.
If the attack continues a long time,
1t Is accompanied by vomiting and signs
of collapse -pinched features. cold,
clammy sweat, extreme restlessness, pal
lor or blueness of the skin, hiccough.
rapid and feeble pulse and chills. Jaun-
dice is not uncommon, but is not always
present. There may be only one attack,
but as a rule there Is a succession of
them, some mild, others severe. The
treatment is therefore twofold-relief
of the immediate pain and prevention
of future attacks.
The sufferer should keep as quiet as
possible. lying on the back with hips
elevated. Sometimes firm bandage
encircling the abdomen affords great re-
lief The patient should take no food
not even milk, as long as the attack
lasts. Fasting even for two or three
days will do no harm. The popular
fear of loss of strength from starvation
in such cases is groundless.
Water, preferably hot. may be taken,
unless, as sometimes happens, it :n-
crcases the pain. Olive oil In generous
amount often seems to give relief and
shorten the attack, although the belief
that it dissolves the gall-stones is prob
ably erroneous. If simple remedies do
not bring relief. more powerful ones.
or even surgical operation, may be
necessary
After the stone has passed, treatment
should be instituted TO prevent a return
if possible. The patient should live
chiefly on fruits. fresh vegetables. and
moderate amount of farinaceous
foods, avoiding meat, especially fat
meat. and highly seasoned foods of all
kinds
A course of treatment by such min
eral waters as vichy or Carlsbad is
highly beneficial. and abundant exer-
else in the open air viii assist greatly
In the treatment.

ALIVE IN cApsIzED VESSELS.
Miraculous Escapes of Men Entombed in
Sunken Ships.


A striking example of one among the
many strange accidents that befall sail
ors was reported the other day from
Newcastle New South Wales.
The barkentine Kate latham turned
turtle in a gale, and one of her crew
was shut up in her hold The survivors,
who had climbed on her keel as she
heeled over, naturally took it for
granted that he was drowned. What
was their surprise therefore presently
TO hear faint knockings from beneath
their feet, evidently made by their inn
prisoned comrade.
Help was at hand, and hole was cut
through the ships bottom, when the man
was hauled out, little worse for his ter
ribie experience. He had, it appeared.
been kept alive by the air which had
been imprisoned in the hull when the
vessel capsized and which, becoming
compressed as the water rose, had event
ually stopped its further encroachment.
He had used balk of floating timber
to support himself.
His Imprisonment lasted for two hours,
and in the cabled reports sent to this
country the incident is characteristic as
unparalleled. This, however, is by no
means correct. There are several cases
on record of men having lived in sim
liar circumstances in the hulks of cap
sized ships not hours only but days,
the most remarkable authenticated in
stance being that of Capt. Engallandt
Of the Erndte, who was rescued alive
after an entombment lasting altogether
eleven days eighteen hours.
During this period the derelict, drift
ing bottom uppermost, was sighted by
the masters of several vessels. all of
whom, however, passed nonchelantly by,
none imagining fo- !. moment that the
semi-submerged and capsized hulk con-
man.
Eventually the Erndte drifted ashore
near Danzig, and Capt. Engallandt was
taken out alive, although greatly
emaciated.-Pearson's Weekly.
