After a few doses I told my husband that I was feeling much better and that the pills were doing me good. "When I finished that box 1 felt like a (different woman. I didn't stop at that, though. I continued the treatment until I had taken five boxes. There was no recurrence until a week ago, when I began to feel miserable again.

"ATTORNEY M0YER3 DEAD. Was Engaged in the Collection of War Claims for ''early Forty Years. Col. Gilbert Moyers, who for upwards of forty years was engaged in the collection of war claims against the Government, and who enjoyed the distinction of being at the head of this particular line of practice, departed this life June 13 at Washingon, D. C. In a recent interview at their offices in Washington, Attorneys I. M. Moyers and C. F. Consaul, formerly associated with him, stated that they are continuing the vigorous prosecution of all claims plaoed - in Col. Moyers' hands, as well as of new cases, an J report that the prospect for the collection of all such claims, for stores and supplies, rent and cotton,was never brighter than at present, and that earnest work by claimants and their attorneys during the next few years should result in large numbers of these claims being successfully prosocutod to collection. % That Yankee humor and shrewdness has not yet completed its mission in literature has been demonstrated fre" quently by the success of Joseph C. I Lincoln. Of this another piece of evidence is supplied by Mr. Lincoln's story in Ainslee's for September, "The Cruise of the Dora Bassett." Every one who has been at a summer resort on the New England coast will recognize Captain Solomon Pratt at the first glance, and reading of him here is pretty nearly the same thing as talking to one of his many counterparts, x * The story is one of Mr. Lincoln's best. "The Blue Moon," by Lucia and Esther Chamberlain, is the picturesque title of the novel in Ainslee's for September. It is a refreshing story, bei cause the ii-genuity of its plot does not in any way depfend upon cheap devices of sensationalism; at the same time, it is dramatic, the action goes forward steaaily and at just the proper pace, it has a strong and well-balanced love interest, and last, but not .least, it possesses high literary merit.

She lectured on tidiness, day after day, Till her children ran otf to the neighbor's to play. And, sometimes, the "lord of the manor" would roam From his beautiful house which was never a home. 'Twas a splendid expression of beauty and art, Fat it did not possess home's one requisite, heart. Cut this woman worked on with her brush and her broom, With her servants she battled through room after room; She waxed and she polished her beautiful floors Till her friends hardly ventured inside of her doors. Her carpets so velvety one would refuse To walk on, until he had dusted his shoes; Her chairs all so tidied, without aud within, That to sit on them scented little less than a sin. | 'r?QAr,NQ BT II % *flV ? ? "I F thry come at all, they'll > * * 1 come to-night!" Thus briefly | and plainly, with true AngloG Saxon coolness, did our sturdy leader inform us that, within a very few hours, hundreds of armed savages (and cannibals to boot) might be expected to fall upon our unarmed company of fifty-nine souls, two of whom were women, and seven more helpless invalids prostrated by the terrible African fever. Our vessel had been cast away at the mouth of a small West African tiver three nights before, and had i*ot our boats providentially touched the shore at the very point -where two white traders had established themselves, a few months before, we should probably have been (as our Irish doctor poetically phrased it) "the deadest men alive!" Even as it was, when we at length succeeded in landing (after a series cf sensational adventures too long to be told here), we had to show fight at once with oars, boat hooks, and even fists, against the marauding natives, who seemed bent upon stripping us of what few clothes the sea had spared. 1J-n* Trhon rtn/*a fnh'lv llOllCPd aftd* U U t 11 iiCU VUVV ^ , ? their five hours in open boats beneath the pelting African rain my brave comrades accepted the situation with thorough British stoicism, and made themselves as comfortable as could be expected where fifty-nine persons were crammed into a trading station originally built for two. No stranger could have found any token of peril or hardship in the merry talk and ringing laughter of these men who had just lost all they had except their lives, as they sat there around the one small lamp which our kind host's limited resources could furnish, chatting, singing, telling tales of adventure, reading the two or three soaked and tattered books which I had luckily brought ashore in nay pockets, or drowning the moan of the night wind and the thunder of the breakers on the bar with the lusty chorus of an impromptu parody on "So Early in the Morning:" "The sua it baked us black and brown, The scorpions sauntered up and down, And the flies kept gadding about like bricks.

Briskest and blithest of all was poor Frank V?Stanley's famous lieutenant on the Lower Congo, who, little dreaming of the miserable end that awaited him in the hideous swamps of the Niger not many months later, was the life and soul of our party. And yet all this time he knew well?and we all knew it as well as he did?that there was but a step between us and destruction. For the first two days after the wreck, however, there was no sign of mischief, our fierce neighbors being fully occupied with the picking up of the countless waifs and strays which kept drifting ashore from our poor old steamer, while some of the bolder spirits among them, defying In their tiny canoes the fury of a surf that would have beaten any other craft to atoms, went out to the wreck itself, and helped themselves as freely as Robinson Crusoe. We could not look seaward in quest of a possible sail without seeing ;; swarm of human ants creeping up and down the two tall masts which stood gauntly up out of the sullen waters that had engulfed our lost vessel, and witnessing a hacking of sails and a chopp'ng away of cordage from which our poor captainalready heart-broken at the loss of his shiD?turned . away his eyes with a stifled groan. I may observe in parenthesis that the natives of West Africa can fairly claim at least one clause of the bitter old Levantine proverb, "The Greek "wines steal all heads, the Greek "women steal all hearts, and the Greek men steal everything." Nothing is "too hot or too heavy" for the savage of the Guinea coast. With him thieving is one of the fine "arts; and while other thieves 6teal for the baser motive of gain, he steals in the spirit of an artist, for the mere pleasure of taking what does not belong to him, however useless it may be. The true West African will steal a Latin dictionary, a sextant, a map of ancient Greece; and in several of the native villages which I afterward visited higher up the river I found spoils quite as incongruous as these. I have known a "Kroo boy" spend a whole afternoon aboard a ship in patiently unscrewing the brass knob of a ventilator, which could be of no possible use to him when he had got it; and such a case is by no means unique. Seeing the worthy savages so fully employed, we began to hope that, after all, the occupation of robbery might prove more attractive to them than that of murder. But, as third-rate novelists say when they want to be impressive, '"the time was comiDg, and it came." Our captain had foretold (as I have said) that the third night would be the critical one; and his seventeen years' experience of African savages gave special weight to his opinion, in which our two trader hosts fully concurred. The wary traders, saw at once that their small garrison would have no chance of being able to defend against a determined attack the wide circuit of the palisades which inclosed the station, and wisely decided upon trying to hold the house itself till the tribe beyond the river.with which they were on friendly terms, could come up to the rescue. This, indeed, they had already done on a similar occasion some months before, when a hand of say9 SWEEPING. ATF.RMAK.

Her children grew up and they hurried away As soon as thev could, scarcely caring to stay Where brooms were a-whisking; they sighed for a nest, Still neat, but inviting a spirit of rest. And the day when the last of her little ones left, And the home of their smiles was forever bereft. She said, while for dust she still searched up and down.

The house was completely surrounded, and the besiegers, despite the heavy fire poured upon them through the loopholes of the barred doors and shutters, were pressing close up to it to set it 011 fire, when all at once, in a momentary lull of the hideous uproar, there was heard far away amid the dark thickets a faint tinkling sound, growing ever louder and nearer. That sound was as sweet to the ears of the fainting garrison as Havelock's Highland war pipes to the hard-pressed defenders of Lucknow, for it told them that-the friendly chief's followers (distinguished by the small brass bolls at their necks) were advancing against the assailants, who knew better than to await their approach. uur nosts rapidly maue ail tneir preparations, and, having posted their native musketeers in various parts of the building, placed two sentinels outside, with orders to fire a signal shot at the first sign of the enemy's approach, when (thanks to the glorious tropical moonlight) they would have ample time to do, the brushwood having been cut away to a considerable distance 011 every side of the house. All being row ready, our leaders significantly advised us to lie down and sleep while we could. At such a crisis the suggestion sounded like a mockery; but (as I have had good cause to know) men can slumber even on the brink of destruction, and scarcely had wc laid our heads upon our mail bags?which, gallantly saved from the wreck by the captain and purser, were now serving us as pillows?when we were all fast asleep. ? * * * * * * Bang! Clear, sharp and stunning came the report of a heavy musket from without, instautly followed by a second shot, and then by a confused clamor of hoarse outcries. Instantly we were all on our feet, and ready for action; but I think the boldest among us?and our party contained more than one man whose courage might have matched the stoutest paladin of Froissart?was not wholly free from that sudden tightening of the heart which a man is wont to feel when fairly driven to bay, and about to struggle for life and death. we sprang to the windows that overlooked the courtyard on the side facing the river, naturally supposing that we were attacked. And so we were?by an enemy more terrible and cruel and irresistible than the fiercest cannibal in Central Africa. 'The red glare of a watch fire kindled by our vigilant sentinels, and the fitful light of the sinking moon, showed us a strange and fearful sight. Half a dozen goblin figures were leaping wildly to and fro only a few paces from the house, and flourishigg blazing torches, which they swept along the ground like scythes ever and anon, while the flames of these firebrands threw the contortions of their gaunt frames and grim faces into startling and hideous relief against the inky blackness of the background, through which glimmered spectrally the white seething foam of the unresting sea. From the spot where this demon dance was in progress down to the farthest palisade the whole courtyard seemed covered with a sheet of black water, quivering, glistening and trembling incessantly. We were still gazing blankly at this bewildering spectacle, when the fatal truth was forced upon us by the cries of the black torch bearers, who shouted, or, rather screamed? "The drivers! The drivers'" Whori +ho full Unrrnr nf thic dilemma burst upon us at once. The terrible "driver ants'' of West Africa, whose devouring jaws can in one night turn the carcass of an ox into a clean-picked skeleton, were upon us in an army millions strong; and should they succeed in forcing their way into the house our only way of escape from being actually devoured alive would be an instant flight down to the beach, a night upon which, unsheltered from the drenching rain which a mighty black cloud was fast bringing up against us from the sea, would be nothing short of certain death to the delicate women and feverstricken invalids of our company. There was no time to lose. Barely ten paces divided the advancing swarms from the front of the house; and should they once reach it all would be over. Darting like lightning down the little wooden stepladder that led to the courtyard, each of us seized a firebrand, and we fell upon the invaders like men who were fighting for their lives, and for other lives dearer thon their own. All that passed after that moment was like the confused terror of a frightful dream. The ceaseless sweep of our flaming scythes, mowing down the destroyers by tliousauds, only to be replaced by fresh thousands in another moment?the frantic yells and ?^ aiim 1\1 a/.lr ^a11a??avo . WI1U gt;SIU1CS Ul UII1 uiflLft 1UUVII CIO? the fitful and unearthly glare of the firelight amid the utter darkness?the deepening gloom of the coming storm, blotting out the cold splendor of the moonlight?all were, indeed, like the visionary horror of one of those ghastly nightmares in which one seems inevitably doomed to struggle forever with some hideous peril, and to struggle in vain. More than once it seemed as if the battle must go against us after all; and our hearts sank as we saw the bleeding arms and limbs of our native helpers, upon which the greedy destroyers fastened with such deadly tenacity as to let themselves be torn asunder rather than unclinch the grasp of their cruel jaws. Do what we would, j on came the Invaders over the blasted ! corpses of their comrades like a rising ) tide. We might as well have striven to drive back the inflowing tide of the sea. But, .while some of us were fighting their vanguard, others, under the di rection of the experienced traders, were ! laying blazing splinters of wood in a ; lino along the front of the charging j column, and meeting it with an im- j passable barrier of fire, whence the I rising wind, luckily in our favor, blew j the flames right into the ranks of the assailants, destroying more of them than we could mow down with our ! firebrands. Little by 'little, human energy and j skill began to prevail over blind ani- i mal ferocity; and at length, to our in- ; describable relief, we saw the line of j their march gradually slant off to the right, in a direction which would carry ; them past the house into the "bush" j beyond it.

MACHINE LAYS RAILROADS. Puts Down the Ties and Unite at the Rato of Three Miles a Daj'. At the rate of three and a half miles a day a peculiar piece of mechanism is laying the tracks of the Cincinnati, Richmond and Muncie Railroad. This track-laying machineautomatically and : accurately lifts the ties and rails into ; position, the most drudging labor In j all railroad construction. It also fur- ; nishes the motive power for its own ; construction train. There were stretches of roadbed over j which the construction train moved at the rate of 1800 feet an hour. The machine utilized was one which differs in many essentials from that which lias been used west of the Mississippi j River. One of the most interesting j features is the manner in which :bc j material is delivered to the roadbed, and the comparatively few men required for the different operations, as the tics and rails are lifted and moved ! from the cars on which they are carried | to tho roadbed, being connected and j spiked while the train is in motion. An endless chain carrier puts the ties i in position, while a crane suspended ; upon a steel truss lowers the rails in j advance of the construction train. In this manner the engineers in charge I - -*" - - 1 of tue read nope to run into ciuciuuau many weeks earlier than they could otherwise have done. The machine weighs fifty tons, and wag made in Scantou, Pa. It Is the only one of its kind in existence, and its inventor, Mr. Hurley, who accompanies the machine, spent ten years in perfect- i ing it and thousands of dollars on mod- j els before success crowned his efforts. [ The work d >ne upor the Cincinnati, j Richmond and Muncie road demon- j strated that a force of about forty com- I petent men were all that were required i to operate the machine to its fullest capacity, and that when conditions are favorable over three miles of track In a day of ten hours could be put down without difficulty, while an average of over two and one-half miles could be recorded. The gearing on which the material is conveyed from the platform through the machine can be operated at the same rate -of speed at which the train is mo"ei, or its speed can be doubled. The weight of the rails j handled inclvde the heaviest used for i standard gauge construction, some of | them averaging 400 tons to the mile.? j Cincinnati Enquirer.^ Feril in Man'i* Instinct. "Here's another automobilers death recorded," said the chauffeur, "and the accident was due to the usual error? j the error of taking oil the brake in-A . J - * . I sieau 01 puiuug it uu. "In several makes of automobiles tbe brake is worked by means of a lever i that has a backward and forward j movement. To put on the brake you pull the lever toward you; to take it off you pull it away from you. Those movements are, somehow or other, confusing to the average man. They 1 seem wrong to him?as wrong as it J would seem to pull on a horse's right rein to make him turn to the left. "Riding along swiftly in an automobile you have an instinctive feeling, as you hold the brake lever in your hand, J that you should push this lever forward in order to put the brake on, and that you should bring it back toward you in order to take the brake off. This feeling, as I say, is instinctive, and it is apt to come over the most skilful driver in moments of excitement and peril. He yields to it; when he wants to put ihe brake on he moves the lever the wrong way; the next moment he is crushed against a stone wall, or he falls over a seTenty-foot cliff. "Therefore, those autos with brake levers that have a backward movement for 'on-brakes' and a forward move* i ment for 'off-brakes' should have their levers' working reversed, out of consideration for men's instinct in this matter.

Coming up with the. Turks he attacked them with the greatest fury, and with his own hand slew the soldiers who were carrying off the Princess.
