NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Woman Who Had Suffered for Many
Years Is Cured by Bolt of
Lightning.

The medical faculty was put to
shame by a bolt of lightning which
the other night struck the farmhouse
of Charles A. Burdick, on Washing
ton Ridge, says the Berlin Comm
correspondent of the New York Her
aid. The electric bolt destroyed arti-
cles in all the eight rooms of the
house and did damage exceeding ST.
600, but it cured Mrs. Burdick of rheu-
matism, from which she had suffered
for many years.
Mrs. Burdick was about to put wood
in the kitchen stove when the bolt
struck her, knocking her down and
rendering her unconscious. One of
her feet was on zinc beneath the
stove. The lightning took a nail out
of the sole of her shoes and her foot
was severely burned. Dr. Thomas
Mnlligan of New Britain soon revived
her.
Today Mrs Burdick, although suf-
fering from the burns on her foot.
was free from rheumatic pains. She
does not think the price her husband
must pay in repairs to the house too
high, but Mr.. Burdick is discreetly 81
lent.

All the the DAYS Work.

In town of Maryland one Bill Nor

one morning and the following COLO
guy occurred:
Morning, Mr.. Postmaster

Has Tom Moore been in for his
mail yet?"

take it down to Henry Parker's, and
tell Henry 1 said he could have it for

that bride and throw in them russet
lines instead of the old black ones; f;
and if he won't trade, tell Tom to
bring the pig down to my place and
put it in the extra pen, and be sure
and shut that door to the hen house,
or all the chickens will get out. Sure
there amt no mail? Morning, Mr..

II do not wish you to become
alarmed or change your plans wrote
the father of Eleanor Gwynne to his
only daughter, two thousand miles
away from home. II tell you of the
possible trouble in my business only
because you might hear of it through
other sources. / may be able to
weather through. If not, it means our
living on more moderate scale, that
is all. You still have the income from
your mothers estate, so we cannot
exactly starve.'
Poor, dear papa! and always think
ing of my comfort and happiness!
mused Eleanor with some agitation.
"Of course shall not remain here
with him alone with his trouble. No,
there is stage Monday and it will
see me homeward bound"
How different this, her second visit
from the first she had made to the
pine-laden breeZes and exquisite soli-
tude of an Arizona health resort! The
year previous at exactly this same sea-

mantle spot. Only, then everything
was prospering, there were no cares Of
business to annoy Eleanor folded Tie

al lines, comprising a postscript, on
the reverse side of the sheet.
by the way" it ran, "it is forlorn
hope, but I mention it-that scamp,
Warren Brill! don't know if you re-
member him, but he is that likely
looking young fellow who acted as
our guide for a time. I never told
you, but / was so taken with his
manliness and energy that | was in
duced by him to trust him with five
thousand dollars to buy a mine. He
asked year in which to develop it
and make us both rich. have never
heard from him since, but a few
months ago I wrote to some people at
Crofutt Pass about him. They could
tell me nothing about Brill, but said
that the mine he purchased, or pre-
tended to purchase, was abandoned
because it was flooded and absolutely
worthless. 1t is vain quest, / i'm
agine, but you might make some in
quiries and let me know the result.

Two Birds Indicted.

The complaints against the robin
have dwelt on his fondness for
cherries, strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries, pears, peaches, prunes,
grapes and even olives in California.
The bluebirds' consumption of culti-
waited fruits seems more limited, being
practically confined to cherries, rasp-
berries and blackberries, and it's fruit
eating period is very short, being only
from late fall to early spring when
the insects which it prefers are scarce.

SPRAYING KEEPS FLIES AWAY
Relief Afforded. Live Stock by Mixture
Of Three Parts Fish Oil and One
Part Kerosene.

Relief, from attacks by flies may be
brought to live stock on the farm by
the use of sprays. Tho following
spray is suggested in extension bulle-
tin No. 43 on "Flies and Theil Col
troll" by F. l.. Washburn, entomolo-
gist of the Minnesota college of agri-
culture.
Three parts of fish oil and one part
kerosene.
The spraying is best done with a
knapsack sprayer, and it takes only
two or three minutes to spray steer
or horse The spray appears to keep
off all flies for two days.

THAT five thousand dollars would pret-

tion just now"
There was a certain animation in
the eyes of the pretty girl as she
read these lines. These were not
needed to at once invoke remem-
brance of the person they named.
Eleanor retained a vivid memory of
the bright, gentlemanly young fellow
who had been .heir companion for
nearly a week. He was musical ed
ucated, in harmony with their ideas
of courtesy and refinement and had
left distinctly pleasing impression
on the mind of Eleanor.
She was astOunded at the implica-
tion of dishonesty made by her ia
ther. She had regarded Brill as the
soul of honor. More than once in gay
frivolous social circles she had coE-
pared her flippant admirers with this
model young westerner, and not to his
disadvantage.
That evening Eleanor made inquir-
les at tourist hotel as to Brill. He
was remembered, but had dropped out
of sight months since, she was in
formed.
There was great friend of his
named Savage" advised the landlady.
II think he is a clerk or something
at the mail station"
There Eleanor went the next morn
ing. 1t was to locate this Savage, a
young man, a cripple, whose eyes
frightened and whose face glowed at
the mention of name evidently cher
ished.
Mr.. Brill is across the range some
where near Inca" he said, and then
he burst forth into extravagant eulo'
gies concerning the man he desig~
mated as his best friend. 1t appeared
that Brill had saved his life in a
great freshet disaster and had secured
him his present position.

REMEDY FOR PAVING HORSES
Annoying Habit May Be Cured by
Fastening Chain to Animals Leg
Acts as Chain Switch.

A horse that has the habit of paw
ing, especially at night, is most an
noying. It is also bad for the horses
feet if he is paving all the time. To
stop this, take a strong strap with a
buckle on it, also 8 or 10 inches of
heavy chain. Put the strap around
the horses leg above the knee so
the chain will hang down in front of
the knee.
This device acts as chain switch
and will cure the horse Of the paving
habit 1t also keeps horse from
running in rough pastures.-Farm and
