The Chinese do not do much count
ing. The parents save them the
trouble. They believe that Yue-Laon,
tue old man of the moon, unites ?with a
silken cord all predestined couples.
The parents arrange, sometimes, for
unions as soon as the child is bom. A
go-between, or "match-maker, arranges
all the details, and the couple never
seo each other until the wedding day.
Perhaps che of the most novel modes
of courtship ever heard of is that
prevalent among a tribe in Neilgherry.
The maids and bachelors who wish to
get married erect a hut inside an
inclosed space of -groun , with a thick
fence round it, and the men without
cannot see each other. The females go
into the hut, and the males stick long
sticks through the fence. -At the same
time the women come out and each
catch hold of a stick, the owner of
which becomes her husband.
AfMocha, in the East Indies, a man
does his courtship by the aid of marriage
brokers, to whom a stipulated sum is
paid. In Java all the courtship is
done by parents, the children not being
permiltod to interfere in any way.
In Africa are found many curious
courting customs. In Sierra Leone
the negroes had a house devoted to the
instruction of their daughters, who re
main there a year under the care of an
old man, At the en I of this time they
are dressed in their best and assembled
before the marriageable young men,
dance, and the latter take their pick.
On the we t coast, when, a girl is of
marriageable age she is led about the
villago by her friends to advertise the
fact, her bands and arms adorned with
fold trinkets to allure the young men.
he is sold into matrimony, the high
est price being twenty dollars, with
mm and tobacco. In Congo, when a
girl is marriageable, she is put in a
tent for a month and suitors come and
make her presents. Then she takes
her pick. Tdiey live together then for
two or three years to seo if they are
suited to each other. In New Zealand
and the Feejee islands courtship is
done by capture. When a man sees a
woman he likes he tells her to follow
him. If she refuses he knocks her
down and carries her off.
- . The method of courtship is equally'
brutal. The young lover's mode of
paying his addresses Is efficacious and
?Simple. 'With a blow of hi3 nulla-,
nulla, or war-club, he stuns the object i
of his affections, and drags her in- j
sensible body away to some secluded !
'spot, c arrying her home as soon as she
recovers her senses. "Sometimes two
join in an expedition for the same pur-1
. pose," says a writer, "and then for
several cays they watch the move-;
'ments of their intended victims, using
the utmost skill in concealing their i
presence. When they have obtainei 1
the knowledge they require they wait'
"for a dark, windy night; then, quite '
naked and carrying only their long
''jog spe^fs/ they crawl stealthily'
,;Utibough/{he bush until they reach the
camp tires in front of which the girls ;
are sleeping. Slowly and silently they
?creep close enough to distinguish the
figure of one of thfir cubras; then one
of the intruders stretches out his spear ;
j and inserts its barbed point among her
thick; flowing locks; tunrng the spear j
slowly around, some of her hair speed- J
ily. becomes entangled with it; then
with a sudden jerk she is aroused from J
?her sleep, and as her eyes open she!
feels tbo sharp point of another weapon 1
against her throat. She makes a vir
tue of-necessity, and follows her can- 1
tor."
At St Petersburg it was long a cus
tomvto hol 1 a fair on Whitsunday of
the-: WQj?ea. who wanted husbands.
The women earr'ed in their hands sil
ver spoons to show their possessions.
Their parents and friends went with 1
them to arrange terms. The young
men strolled about, and when they saw
s^a girl tbey liked they spoke to h?r cus
xodian, and stated their prospects. In
Bosnia, near the Danube, young girls j
of the Mohammedan faith were per
mitted to walk about-with their faces
uncovered, and if a man inclined to ,
matrimony fell in love with one of!
them as he passed along he threw an '
embroidered handkerchief or some1
other article on her head or neck. She 1
then retiied to her home, and appeared
no more in public.

The Best Advertising Medium.
The newspaper, says an exchange,
has become the legitimate inheritor of
the patronage of advertiser}. It offers
advantages that no other vehicle pos
j sesse3, and it costs less than most
! others. It cannot be assumed that the
advertising pages of a paper are as
carefully read as the news portions,
but it. has gradually educated the
i reader to look for what he or she
I wants in the advertising columns, and
those who read the paper quietly at
home are far more inclined to go over
their wants and look where to supply
them than the man in the street, who
is probably thinking more of selling
his own goods than of buying his
neighbor's. Then the scope or thi3
j method of advertising is almost end
less. It takes in a business card or a
i two-line notice, or it may cover an en
tire page and there is a chance for
literary d:splay. Many large business
houses keep a gentleman of education
and skill in literary matters to super
intend this department of their busi
ness, and it is wonderful how much he
can find tb say on what would seem to
be a hackneyed subject. Indeed, the
art of advertising is to be always
fresh and new, to be short, yet clear
and concise, to be humorous when
humor will tell, but to be plain and
direct. The nearer an advertisement
harmonizes with the general style and
drift of tbo paper the more likely it is
to be read and make an impression.
The devices to attract attention in
advertising are multifarious. Some,
like Mr. Wegg, run into poetry and
one man offered ten dollars for the
best verses on a tooth wash. Others
imitate the story-telling faculty and
preface a sure cure for the summer
complaint with a lamentable account
of a cyclone or the last earthquake,
and many are the unwary readers who
have begun in tears and ended in in
dignation, unless, as is the wisest, they
merge the latter in admiration of the
ingenuity of the writer.
One secret of success is persistency,
inkeapingan advertisement so con
stantly before the reader's eyes that it
will eventually attract attention. Pos
sibly new and better methods may be
devised hereafter, but it is not easy to
say in what way they will come.
fire losse?.
An interesting chart, issued by one
of the New York insurance journals,
shows the geographical distribution of
lire losses in the United States for the
last, five years, indicating by a variety
of red tints the relative hotness?from
a fire underwriter's standpoint?of
different sections of the country. The
chart is founded on ratios calculated
for each State and Territory between
the annual average fire loss during five
years and the ^valuation of real and
personal property as* given by the
United States census. By this method
a close approximation is made to the
average annual fire tax upon each $100
of real estate and personal property.
The result shows curious fluctuations
in the burning rates of different States,
as follows:

M. Cornevin places the time
of the first appearance of the horse as
a domestic animal in the bronze age
contemporaneous with the bronze
bit. M. Pietfement and M. Rie

the stone age, and M. Faure ob

with the remark that, while the bronze
bit is good proof of the domestication
of the horse, the latter may havo been
tamed long before bronze was known.
Whichever view may be a correct one,
it is certain that man has enjoyed the
services of the horse for a pretty long
period.
It is well known that many fish soon
perish when transferred from their
native salt water to fresh, and that
fish which had lived in fresh water die

estuary. The cause of death in both
cases has been sought, and, it is
thought, discovered, by M. Paul Bert.
Salt water lisbes perish in fresh water
on account of the absence of chloride
of sodium, and fresh water fishes die
in salt water owing to the presence of

The dre-s consists of a loose pair of
white trousers and a short white
jacket. Over all is worn a long, neat
coat, close-litting at tjie throat and
reaching to within a few in-hes of the
ground. The coat is open i n either
side from the waist downward. The
garment has no variation in pattern or
difference in length for either sex. It
is nearly always made of cloth of the
same description, quality and color ?
(bluish black ). A turban, made of
the same material, as long as the coat
and worn much in the same way as

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Success with Sbocp.
Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, is well
known as a successful farmer and
writer. Hosays: "Sheep that graze
will feed at regular hoUrs night and
day, and only lio by when the weather
or the fly hinders them. They go over
the same grass nearly each time, take
salt and water, and then lie down on
the same ground. Hence the neces
sity of changing them to break up
their place of rest A new flock
coming in will select a new place for
lying down. In grazing they form a
line most advanced in the centre, that
space being held by the leaders, who
direct the movements. This does very
well when the space is wide enough for
both flanks, but in defiles or other ob
structions the weaker sheep follow be
hind the leaders and get poor fare, and
consequently are puny and often dis
eased for want of sufficient variety and
choice of bite. Hence in olose districts
sheep must be kept in limited numbers,
or else the whole thing will fail; and I
have known many farmers who tried a
'sheep farm' to quit it in disgust for
ever, and yet it' pays' when judiciously
managed better than any other."
Food the Grape Vin~.
The oldest grape growers we know
always manured their vines plente
ously, and never dreamed of giving
tbein too much. Of late years there
has risen a class of grape growers who
contend that but little manure is
needed; that in fact the poorer the
land the better. "We are not among
this class. We have found that the
richer the soil the better. We have
even known dead animals to be buried
at the roots; though we think this is
carrying the manure question a little
too far. Vines will sometimes fail in
rich land, we are aware, but it is from
other causes than the soil being too
rich; there are other plagues in the
way. It may be mildew; it may be
the little dusty-looking worm which
sometimes strips the vine of its foli
age; or it may be the phylloxera
which attacks the roots and plays
havoc with them; others think there
is something in the climate, and so on.
We do not pretend to decide the ques
tion; we only know that if we do the
best we can in the cultivation of the
vines, success will reward us in a ma
jority of cases; but when failure is the
result we feel very sure that is not
high feeding. The grape vine, we are
confident, and all our experience goes
to show it, is a good liver, and we run
less risk in overfeeding than starving

Overladen Fruit Trees.
It is a rule in fruit culture that a
tree should not carry any greater
weight of fruit than its branches can
sustain. Still, with some rapidly
swelling fruits, peaches and plums
especially, however thoroughly thin
ning may have been done, it is often
found, as the fruit ripens, that the
weight is too great and the branches,
unless they are supported, will break
down with the load of fruit. The
usual method of supporting overladen
fruit trees is to place long stakes, with
a fork at the top, beneath them. A
much better and more simple method
of effecting the purpose is suggested
by Dr. J. K. Mease, of Lebanon, Pa.
?Instead of using several stakes, one to
each principal branch, he places a (sin
gle strong pole against the trunk of
the tree. The low or end of the pole,
if desired, may be sunk a few inches in
the soil for addit onal support, but
usually it will be sufficient to secure it
to the trim-.: by means of a straw band
or other ties that will not bruise the
bark. The pole being secured, the
drooping branches are relieved by
means of ties made fast to it. Dr.
Mease states that this method of tying
up the branches of overloaded trees is
especially useful in storms, the support
being central, and more natural tha i
where several props are used.?Ameri
can Agriculturist.
Stacking Grain.
The most important part of harvest
ing, if the grain is to remain long be
fore threshing, is the stacking. If a
stack is properly constructed the grain
will keep for months without injury;
but the great trouble is to so construct
it- that it will shed rain. The main
point to be observed is to keep the
center full, so that the successive tiers
of bundles will all slope downward.
In commencing a stack, an ordinary
shock should be built, then bundles set
up around the shock until a sufliciently
large base is made, then commence at
the center again and iay the bundles
in a circle, heads in and close together,
until one tier or circle is made. This
gives the center suflicient elevation to
make the proper slope to the bundles
ou the outside tier. Commence on the
outside now and lay a tier of bundle,
completely around the stack, butts out
and depressed. After completing the
first tier, commence the second
tier by placing the butts just over
the band of the first; the third
tier is commenced in the same way,
and so ou until the center is reached.
Commence again at the outside tier,
placing the butts even with the first
tier; the second course should be
carried through the same as the first,
and so on until the center is reached.
When the stack is five feet high the
outside tier should be laid out a little,
and this should lie continued througli
five or six successive courses until a
sufficient bulge or swell is reached
when the finishing or topping-out
should be commence I. At this point
the greatest care should be exercised
to prevent the rain from soaking in.
The topping-out should be gradual
and the finish should be smooth and
compact and a stake driven down in
the center to preveut the caps from
being blown off. drain thus stacked
will keep for months in a rainy season
without injury save to the topmost
sheaves. Wheat is more difficult to
keep in place than oats, but oats are
more apt to let water in than wheat.
A good topping-out with slough grass
is a very effectual method of protec
tion if the stack is to stand long.

Milk seed is excellent for chicks.
An early chicken, well fed, should
make a gojd broiler when three

Put a mixture of equal parts of sul
phur and lard on the legs of fowls
that tire scaly.
When the heads of the young turk

Keep a good sized dust bath easy of
access to confine 1 hens. Any shallow
box of sufficient size will do. Fill it
with fine road dust, or finely sifted coal
ashes.
Breeders should bear in mind that
capons grow nearly a third larger than
cockerels, hence are profitable, its they
command always a better price in
market.
A little tincture of iron in drinking
water for fowls is used a great deal by
poultry breeders. A few old nails or
pieces of iron thrown in the water
vessels is just as good and costs noth

Sitting hens have enough to do

Photographing- in Colors.
" How soon can I have my photo
graphs?" asked a lady who had gazed
i'or the fraction of a second at the
camera in an establishment in Eigh
teenth street.
" In six days, with all the colors."
" She will get them in as short a time
as she would an ordinary photograph,
and they will show the colors in the
fabrics of her dress- and her com
plexion. The process is quick and
simple," sa:d the operator.
" Do you take colors with the ca
mera?"
"No. The preliminary process is
the same as in photography. We take
the ordinary photographic negative by
instantaneous photography. The patent
lies in the manner of producing
the colors after the negative
has been obtained. The paper
on which the photograph
is printed is -covered with a light
wash of colors according to the notes
taken by the operator at the. sitting.
No skill is required to apply the wash.
This is sensitize] by a inrocess pro
tected'by a patent When we print
from the negative on this paper the
colors take up all tho lights and shades,
and the result is a perfect colored
photograph. Theproccss was invented
by Bonnaud, a Frenchman, and the
photograph is called a Bonnaudtype."
"Do you confine yourself to por
traits?"
"Oh, no. We take photographs of
houses, paintings, subjects for adver
tising and samples. Here is a set of
brierwood pipes and a set of lamp
shades. Now the drummers for the
firms manufacturing these, instead of
taking the pipes and tho lampshades
with them in their travels through the
country can take photographs, or tho
manufacturers can mail the photo
graphs directly to the retailers. This
sample photography is a large branch
of our business."?New York Sun.
Pen up the old hens If necessary to
keep them but of mischief, but let the
little chicks have full sway. They
cannot do damage when small; on the
contrary, if the-coops are near the
garden the. little fellows will capture
myriads of harmful insects.
Feeding poultry must be conducted
on proper principles to secure the
greatest amount of profit. While there
are many who feed too lavishly there
are far more who do not feed enough,
or who feed very irregularly, and the
result is a poor lot of fowls.
Guinea hens spend four weeks in
hatching their eggs. As they are ex
cellent layers of good eggs it is best to
let a common hen that is a enronic
sitter do this business for guineas.
The latter are easily broken up, and
go on laying just as though nothing
bad happened.

Recipes*
Fried Tomatoes.?Take" large,
smooth tomatoes, cut them in slices
one-half inch thick, dip them in bread
crumbs and fry them a light brown in
half lard and half butter.
Corn Oysters.?Grate twelve ears
of sweet corn, add two well beaten
eggs, a pinch of salt and two teaspoon
fuls of white sugar. Drop in hot lard
and fry brown.- A tablespoonful of
the mixture will equal an oyster in
size.
Succotash.?Cut the corn from
twelve ears. Take one-third the
quantity of Lima beans; put the beans
to cook in water enough to cover
them; cook one-half hour, then add tho
corn, with a large spoonful of white
sugar, a good-sized piece of butter and
salt and pepper to suit.
Preserved Quinces.?Pare and
quarter the quinces; boil in enough
water to keep them whole; when they
are tender take them out, and to each
pound of fruit add one pound of white
sugar. Let them stand with the sugar
on till the next day, when you will get
the syrup light to clear; put them in
your kettle and boil twenty minutes
Done in this way they never get hard.
Soft Gingerbread.- Take one
half pint of sour milk, one-half pint
molasses, one cup of butter, one tea
spoon of saleratus, dissolved in a little
hot water, two well-beaten eggs, one
half nutmeg, grated, one teaspoon
ground cinnamon and one table
spoon of ground ginger. Mix into this
flour enough to make a thick batter.
Beat all well together, until smooth
and light, and pour in well-buttered
pans one inch thick. Bake one-half
hour in quick oven.
Dish for Dessert.?Beat the whites
of six eggs to a stiff froth, adding
gradually six tablespoonfuls of pow
dered sugar; beat or whip for almost
half an hour, then beat in a small cup
of jelly, or a cup of preserved peaches
or of fresh ones. Serve in saucers with'
rich cream, sweetened and flavored
with vanilla. Bananas may bo used in
place of the fruit mentioned above,
but they must not be sliced until just a
little while before you servo them, as
they are almost certain to turn dark
colored.
Ham Steaks.?Cut some slices of
raw ham.and put t]|em into a frying
pan with half a tafcupful of water.
When the water lnfflpoiled away and
the steaks (which JEpuld be turned)
have become a ligrWnrown on both

you have no wish to sell if, use it in
the house. Some housekeepers prefer
it to cloth for cleaning irany articles of
furniture.
For instance, a volame written by
a lady says: "After a stove has been
blackened, it can be kept looking very
well for a long time Oy rubbing it with
paper every morning, Hubbing with
paper is a much nicer way of keeping
a teakettle, coffeepot and teapot bright
and clean than the old way of wash
ing them in suds. Bubbing with
paper is also the best way of polishing
knives, tinware and spoons; they shine
like new silver.
"For polishing mirrors, windows,
lamp chimneys, etc., paper is better
than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles
keep much better if brown paper, in
stead of cloth, is tied over the jar.
Canned fruit is not so apt to mold if a
piece of writing paper, cut to fit the

is much better to put under a carpet

and makes less noise when one walks
over it." ^_

THE GOLD NUQ6ET.
A. Thrilling Rental sconce by a California
Pioneer.
Yes, I knew Juan. He was a Mexi
can, who kept a corral on Rincon
Point, in 1846. He supplied tha
whalers and hide-droghers with fresh
beef. When Marsball turned the
world askew by unearthing that
talismanic nugget at Sutter's Mill,
Juan sold out and joined the rush
northward. He was lucky at the start,
if unlucky at the end. The first pick
he sank brought up one of the biggest
specimens struck in California. Eight
thousand dollars was offered for it
right away, but Juan wouldn't sell.
He thought he could make more by
putting it up at a raffle. Eight thou
sand shar3s at $10 a share was the
order. The enterprise was successful.
The central point of attraction was
White Man's Bar. Crowds from every
camp within tramping distance came
to look at the nugget and take shares
in the lottery. Juan was in high
feather. He was the big pin of the
occasion and, Castiian-like, put on a
mint of frills. He was a tall, lank
man, saturnine in the countenance,
with a retreating jaw and a baboonish
forehead. He wore a red bandana
round his head and carried a long
novaja (knife) in his sash. He always
wore the costume of a vaquero and,
judging from his looks, was a tough
customer; yet a more harmless fellow
never breathed. He was fond of
money, though, and would sooner lose
an ounce of blood than a dollar any
day. To guard the nugget he am
nloyed oight of his countrymen. Four
of these werd armed with pistols and
machetes. They were a surly-looking
gang,- and seemed ablo to whip any
thing of their size ; but when it came
to the scratch were completely sub
dued by the "maldito3 Americanos."
The nugget was placed under a glass
case on the center of a table in the
Modo Verdo saloon, where a yellow
faced girl from Sonora took the names
of subscribers. Among those who
came to see the nugget was " Jimmy
from-town," one of the noted despera
does of that day, and as smart a rogue
as ever went unhanged. He was at
tended by two of his principal pals?
Joe Bell and Micky Free. After taking
in the situation Jimmy concluded the
plant could be raised, and so informed
bis lieutenants. M Too risky," said Joe,
" these greasers are well armed, have
grit, and will make a fight."
".Very likely," answered Jimmy,
" but we can double haul 'em. You'll
get the chunk if you do what I say."
" Go ahead," said Micky.
"Beat up all the boys you can and
get me a 'broncho.' I'll teach the
animal to kick and I'll show you how
to corral the nugget See if you can't
lift me before to-morrow night."
Jimmy's two gillie3 followed his di
rections. Twenty hard nuts reported
for duty within forty-eight hours. The
" broncho" was also on hand, paid for
with the money of a colored man, whom
Micky knocked on the head. The ani
mal was immediately placed in train
ing.
Jimmy had been a circus rider, and
was a :-harp in horse fiesh. He soon
had the " broncho " ready for business.
Meantime the raille bowled along. The
lists were nearly full, and as the hour
for drawing approached the excite
ment increased. The saloon was abso
jtely packed; the monte-dealers could
carcely handle their cards, while the
?uard around the nugget had to use
force to k ep the crowd from over
turning the table. Now was the time
for Jimmy. He appeared in front of
vhe saloon mounted on his "broncho;"
sis pals were already mingling, with ?
the crowd inside, ready to seize the
jugget at a signal from their leader.
Jimmy worried the animal sufficiently
to make it restive. It began to back
Into the saloon. The crowd shouted,
cursed-and struggled, hnt gave. way.
In spite of all Jimmy appeared t<v-d*^~
the animal kopt backing, and gradually
approached the center-table. Juan
saw the danger which threatened his
treasure, and springing forward, seized
I he reins of the "broncho." Jimmy
struck him with a sandclub, which
laid, him senseless. At the same time
he backed the animal against the table
and shouted: " Hey Bube I"
"Hey Hube" is tho circusman's
battle-cry, and was tho signal for
Jimmy's pals to look out for the nug
get. As they re-echoe 1 the cry Jimmy
dug the spurs into the " broncho." It
kicked, uver went the table; smash
went the glass case, and away went
the nugget twenty feet from where it
laid. As it fell there was a wild rush
for its possession. The Mexicans, led
by Juan, who had recovered from the
blow, made desperate exertions to re
tain the precious specimen, but were
quickly overcome by the fiercer efforts
and keener activity of the white-faced
rogues. It was Gringo against
Greaser, and Gringo won.. Micky Free
finally grabbed the nugget and passed
It to Jimmy, who dexterously placed it
In a leather bag swung from his pum
mel, lie then urged his "broncho"'
through the crowd, riding over all in
his way, and, reaching the streot, gal
loped at full speed for a rendezvous in
the mountains. As he rode off tho
Mexicans gave him a salute from their;
pepper-trees, one ball grazing his shin
His pals followed. I Avas sheriff of;
the county, raised a posse and pursued
the scoundrels. We had a brush with
tliem in the canon, where Joe Belfwasj
shot. He told the whole story of the
robbery before he died, and is my au-'
thority for this narrative. Jimmy
rode on, however, and never stopped
till ho reached a cave in tho moun
tains, where he was afterward found
by his pals, less five laid out in tho
melto. None of these, except .loo
Bell, were mortally injured, but get

A Monotonous Occupation.
The business of herding sheep, says
i Western correspondent, is tho most
monotonous known. I can imagine no
more mind-destroying occupation. It
Is only fit for greasers, men who are
below their dogs in intelligence. It is
seldom an American engages in sheep
herding. When hard up and unable
to obtain work they wisely prefer the
penitentiary and its mild excitement to
prowling over a des'-rt after a llock of
stupid slice]), and they are right. I
have seen sheep herders in Southern
Colorado sit for hours on a rock or
under a sage brush looking at a llock
of sheep, or slowly walking to and fro
in the dust rising behind the animals
as they ted over the prairie. These
men led a life of such irritating mo
rn'tony that a nervous American,
forced to do the work, wou'd have
swallowed one of the banana-like cac
tuses growing on (heplains, in Iiis mad
iesire to break the direful munotony.
Half Human, Hair Alligator.
Two of the five children of John
McDonald, of Florida, are described a3
"half human and half alligator.'1
These children, says a reporter who
has seen them, arc now nine years of
age. Their bodies, arms and heads
from the hips up are perfectly formed,
while from the hips down they present
the identical appearance of an alligator,
having a perfectly formed tail about
five feet in length, together with the
hind feet and legs of the 'gator. They
crawl around on their hand and feet,
converse intelligently, and seem to
enjoy life very much. They live part
of the time in the water, which they
enjoy very much, using their tails
while swimming, the same as the alli
gator, to propel their bodies. They are
healthy, good-looking and well-devel
oped children, and outside of their
love for the watcv th ir mode of living
is the sa ue a> that of other human
beings. . _ ._

The operations of a notorious brig
and in Macedonia, by name Bilal Aga,
have been brought to a close under
somewhat remarkable circumstances.
Bilal Aga was the leader of a band of
twenty-four brigands, and for some
time past has been the terror of the
caravans which go between Salonica
and tho interior. It was his practice
to lie in ambu3h with his band in tfce
difficult denies ef the mountains
through which several of the main
routes led, and to pounce down upon
the caravans when there was the least
chance of resistance or escape. He also
diversified his proceedings occasionally
by attacking and robbing travelers,
whom he murdered when he happened
to be in a bloodthirsty mood. He and
his band held the whole district in
terror; and although efforts were
made by the authorities to cap
ture them, they continued to exact
their contributions with the utmost au
dacity until the other day, when
trouble befell them from an unexpe.ted
quarter. There is another equally fa
mous brigand in the district, by name
Naum, also the leader of a band.
Naum does not stick at trifles, but his
disposition is rather more amiable than
that of Bilal, and with a goo I nature
that does him credit he advised Bilal
to spare the lives of certain rich vil
lagers whom he lately captured. Bilal
disregarded this advic e and killed the
villagers. Naum was displeased at
what he considered a personal insult to
himself; and consequently a fight took
place near the river Katrantza between
the bands of the two brigands; the re
sult b?ing that the whde of Bilal's
band was killed, while Kaum lost only
four men. Bilal himself escaped; but
Dy latest actounts Naum was close

Are having quite a success, says a Iffiis.
Tueall. I have been practicing medicine
for thirty years, and nave had somo very
difficult cases. I know of one man who came
from England. His was a severe eise of
kidney complaint. He was a great Bufforor,
and had almost given up hopes of finding
relief. After he had used four bottles of tho
medicine I gavo him he was relieved through
tt.u natural channel of a piece of oxolnte of
lime calculus folly as large us a hazel nut, of
a very irregular shape, somewhat like a grain
of corn when popped open. It was of t. dark
brown color. It passage was of conrue ac
companied by vory severe and cutting pains.
I .am pleased to say he is a well man now. A
foil account of the matter appeared in tho
"Banner of Light" at the time, and was
mach commented on by the medical fra
ternity.
Not long ago I had three or four cases of
dropsy. One of them lived twenty miles
from hers. In these cases sometimes the
persons swell to an enormous size.
I could enumerate any number of persons
who have despaired of getting well, and I
have cured them, as I prescribe a never-fail
in.j medicine?one that I have used in all
similar cases for six years, namely, Hunt's
Remedy; and I give it to them in the original
package, and after the most thorough and
exhaustive provings I am fully convinced of
its superior merits and specific action upon
tho diseases for which it is recommended.
In short, Hunt's Remedy cures when every
thing else fails.
