CURIOUS MENciHES7N
Prescriptions Which Were Used An tF3s
Eighteenth Century.

PRESCRIPTIONS Which Were Used IN tFfs
Eighteenth Century.
The following prescriptions, which
we're published in 1871, show a de
gree Of credulity hardly to be ex-
pected from sthe father of modern
chemistry and brother of the Earl
of Cork" The book is said to be
written by 'the Honorable r. Boyle,
Esq, late Fellow of the Royal So
ciety," for the benefit of 'those
poor Upholders of Families who
cannot find or fee a Surgeon or a
Doctor" Here are a few speci-
mems:
For Commissions, Especially In
Children. - Take Earth Worms,
wash them well in White-wine to
cleanse them, but so as that they
may not die in the Wine; Then up
on hollow Tiles or between them,
dry the Worms with a moderate
Heat, and no further than that they
may be conveniently reduced to
Powder; to one Ounce of which add
a pretty Number of Grains of Am
bergrise, both to perfume the Pow
der (whose Scent of itself is rank)
and to make the medicine the more
eficacious,
To Prevent the Toothache, and
Keep the Teeth Sound.-Let the
Patient frequently rub his Teeth
moderately with the Ashes that re-
main in Tobacco-Pipes, after the
rest of the Body hath been con-
sumed in Smoak; some time after,
washing (f need beg his Mouth
with fair Water not too cold.
An Uncommon but Experienced
Remedy For Dysenterical Fluxes.-
Take the Bone or the Thigh of a
hang'd Man (perhaps another may
s~erve), calcine it to Wilderness, and
having purg'd the Patient with an
antimonial medicine, give him 1
Dram of this White Powder for one
Dose, in some good Cordial, whether
Conserve or Liquor.
A Choice External Remedy for
a Sore Throat.-Take Millepedes
alive, and sew them up between
the Foldings of a piece of Linnen,
and apply them to the Throat in
the form of a stay, which is to be
kept on all Night.
For an Ague.-Take of the Bone
called "Platella," of the Knee of a
dead Man, and having reduced it
to fine Powder, give of it as much
as will lie upon a groat or a six
pence for n Dose, in any proper
Conserve, or fit Vehicle.-London

A TRAGIC MoMENT.s~
Two Famished Men and Their LAST
Fifty Cent Piece,

Fifty Cent Piece,
A group of old time journeymen
printers the other night were de-
scribing their wanderings up and
down and across the map of the
United States and pointing the de-
scriptions of their journeys with
little hard luck stories of their own
experiences here and there. A
little gray man with a high fore
head who had been listening meek
ly all evening to the "reminiscences
of the others finally was moved to
speech.
GIVE worked in newspaper offices
and printsbops in nearly every kind
of a burg in this country from
Father Knickerbocker's town to
the shacks in Red Gulch, and /
have had to batter gates once in
awhile for a little broken grub"
said he.
81 have been a little more than
hungry at times, and l used the
side door Pullman in most of my
little journeys. But I believe the
saddest and most hopeless moment
of my life was in Chicago late in
the fall of the year of the big Co
lumbar exposition. Me and a pal
of mine had drifted in there from
the wide southwest somewhere, and
we were both just about broke. Our
clothes were getting thin, and the
October breezes coming across the
lake we're beginning to chill us to the
bone. But we dubbed together one
day and raised enough to pay our
admissions into the fair. We were
bound to see it, although it left us
one lonesome half dollar between
the two of us.
Cali day we tramped, Teasing
our eyes on the marvels of the big
show, and late in the afternoon we
landed back uptown, with u head:
full of Venetian lagoons and white
palaces. We still had the half dol,
lar, and in the intervals of recalling
this and that exhibit to each other
we were planning how to spend the
so cents to the best advantage
We were nearing the Rush street
bridge when we began to laugh
over the queer antics and manner.
isms of a group of single eyeglassed
Englishmen we had run across that
afternoon in the British exhibit.
"My pardner was mincing along
giving an imitation of n of then
'~ludships,' and, suddenly thinking Of
the fifty cent piece, ran his hanC
into his pocket and, lifting it tc
his eye, began using it as a monocle
Just at the height of his antics The
half dollar slipped from his eye
bounced and rolled a few inchc:
and slipped through a crack in The
bridge floor down into the sluggish
waters of the Chicago river. 1t was
tragic. There was nothing to be
said. We just looked at one another
for a minute and tramped on acros:
the bridge."-St. Louis Republic.

A Fatal Funeral.

An extraordinary series of fatali-
ties occurred at Madrid. An old
lady died suddenly, and when the
hearse came to convey her body to
the graveyard the coachman fell
from the box in a fit of apoplexy
and died Immediately. A woman
among the mourners was so upset
at this that she fell dead, as though
struck by lightning, and a child in
her arms was dashed against the
stones with such violence that its
skull was fractured. INSTEAD % eNY

Was Hort Most by the Bolting
from His Standard Of Many
Former Warm Friends.

Grand Island, Neb,, July 27.-Hard-
ly an echo of yesterdays democratic
state convention was heard today.
Most of the delegates left the city on
late trains and the few stragglers got
away this morning. Mr.. Bryan was
among the first to lca"e and declined
to speak of last nights occurrences be-
fore starting for home, except to rerer
interviewers to his convention speech.
1t was apparent that he had antici
pated the action of the convention and
if he felt any chagrin he did not mani
fest it after the adjournment.
A close friend of the former leader,
however, stated that Mr.. Bryan's par
ticular disappointment was in the
boiling from his standard of many
men who had been his ardent support
ers in the last convention. No imita-
ton of what his future political plans
might be could be secured either from
Mr.. Bryan or from his friends.

An Experts Opinion
Of Skin Diseases.

A prominent national expert on skin
diseases, whose name you are familiar
with, says that in all his scientific eXpe-
riencc he has never found so hard dis
case to conquer as Eczema. Yet he does
not hesitate To recommend Iemo as a
most successful remedy for the treat
ment Of Eczema, itching skin diseases,
dandruff, pimples, bllckhcads and all
other diseases of the skin ahd scalp. He
says that not only do its curative quail
ties make it popular, but also the fact
that it is a clean liquid remedy for ex-
ternal use. A great Improvement over
the old style greasy salves and lotions,
which are rot only unpleasant to use,
but do not destroy the germ life that
causes the disease. ZemO draws the
germs to the surface and destroys them,
leaving the skin clear and healthy Can
be used freely on infants. City Drug
Co. will gladly supply those who call
with Il free, sample bottle of Iemo and a
booklet. which explains in simple Lam
guage all about skin diseases aud how
to cure yourself at home with Zemo.

LONGWORTH BOOM FAILED
Names of Garfield and Thompson
Not Presented to Convention.
Hamilton Votes Harding.

Columbus, Ohio, July 27-The re-
publican candidate for governor of
Ohio is Warren G. Harding, of Marion,
once lieutenant-governor Despite the
efforts of Senator Burton's Cuyhoga
county delegation to stampede the
convention for Nicholas Longworth
and George b. Cox's every effort in
behalf of Judge o. B. Brown, the Day
ton man, com bination of the 'pro-
gressivesn with the national admins
tration men broke up the fight on the
third ballot. Then Cox, yielding TO
the inevitable, cast the ninety-one
Hamilton county votes for Harding
and that finished 1. Tile continual
tion of the roll call wa joke.
The withdrawal of Ja.ues r. Gar
field and Carmi A. Thompson before
the beginning of the vote made possi-
BILE a Garfield administration that
twenty -four hours ago would have
seemed to the delegates here an opium
inspired dream. But all the Garfield
votes outside the Cuyhoga delegation
and few that clung grimly to the
undeveloped candidacy of the ex-secre-
tary of the interior, were cast for Hard
ing. Walter Brown, of Toledo, and
Wade H. Ellis, state chairman, were
influential in lining up the other dele
gates for the Marion man. The under
standing that the president was not
satisfied by the candidacy of Judge
Brown did the rest.
Immediately after this, Lieutenant
Governor Francis w. Tro adway was
renominated by acclamation.

COOKE
HANNAH
DEBATE
YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON
DREW ONLY SMALL CROWD
1t was Understood that the Speak
ing Would Occur at Night and
Change Was Not Known

At o'clock yesterday afternoon at
the Hippodrome Judge Il. b. Cooke,
candidate for the supreme court, and
General Harvey Hannah, a represen-
tative of the bolting judges, had a
Joint debate, the first time Judge Cooke
h ad been able TO get the Hannah man
agement to permit the general to meet
him, and it was painfully apparent
yesterday why this is true. Judge
Cooke stays on the earth, Hannah goes
up in the air. Cooke talks facts, Han
nah talks fancies. Cookies sledge
hammer arguments were ulanswerable
and Hannah's mis- statements OF facts
were not worth answering. Cooke is a
scholar and his dignified and forceful
utterances appealed to sensible people,
while Hannah's s feeble attempts to inn
itate Senator Taylor were pitiable evil
dences of the weakness of his cause.
Cooke proved him to be the most
ungratefuI POLITICAL in Tennessee,
having turned bitterly against the
greatest benefactor ne had ever had,
Senator Frazier, Gov. Cox and Cover
nor Patterson, without The slightest
reason or excuse, and in tie minds OF
thinking people ingratitude is an un-
pardonable crime. Judge Cooke left
in the afternoon for Bristol. Gene raj
Hannah remained over night, OF
withstanding that last night it was an
nounced for him that he could not
possibly stay fer the night and have
the debate in the evening

ton Chairman of Nebraska

Grand Island, Neb., July &c. j.
Smythe, temporary chairman of the
democratic state convention, in his adj
dress to the delegates, referred TO WI.
Bryan without mentioning his name,
as follows:
at may be necessary today for some
of us to refuse to follow leadership
which for almost twenty years has
given lustre to our party in the state
and the nation. If it should, let no
man say that it argues any abatement
in the esteem of him who embodies
that leadership. When this convention
shall have adjourned our differences, |
sure, will be forgotten, and we will fall
into our accustomed places, the leader
in his and the subordinateS in theirs, TO
fight for our platform and our party"
In beginning his address, Mr.Smythe
said:
"For many years we were told that
the tariff was passed in the interest of
the laboring man and the laboring man
believed it, but he knows better now.
He knows, and so do the merchant and
the farmer and the people in general,
that not one dollar of the fund raised
through the tariff goes to the laboring
mans benefit; that instead it is used to
create multi-millionaires and purchase
rotten titles of a still more rotten nobil-
ity for silly American girls
"The country knows how well Mr..
Taft and his party have kept the prom
Use on the tariff question. Never was
there more fragrant betrayal of a

Tazewell, Tenn, July 25.-The re-
pubicans of Claiborne county held an
indignation meeting following Mr..
Littlcton's speech and adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
"Whereas, the republicans of Clal-
borne county have heretofore endorsed
the independent democratic candidates
for the Judiciary Of this state, whereas
said candidates and their political
friends absolutely control the appoint
ment and removal OF the election COM
missioners in this state.
"NNhereas ~ the time of said en-
dorsement, 1T was understood that
said independent eandi lates would aid
us in securing the appointments of such
election commissioners ms would give
US the assurance of fair election
whereas said independent candidates
have failed and refused to aid us in
securing fair election, but have plac-
ed over us to print our ballots to ap-
point our election officers and To certi-
fy our election returns, man who at
the election eight years ago had the
officers of the election sworn 40 hold
the election not in accordance with the
law but to hold the said election for
the best interests of the democratic
party, and who has either had bills in
chancery filed against him or has been
indicted for fraud in elections ut near
ly all, if not at all elections since that
time and who is well known to said
independent candidates 10 be without
scruples as to his conduct in elections
and who has recently attempted to
dsfranchise l, 800 voters of this county.
"Whereas said endorsement OF said
independent candidates was given un-
der mistaken state of facts, now
therefore be it.
"Resolved, by the republicans OF
