• . X r 1 A The Amntinj? ‘•Battle of tke Boards. y It ia do proof thftt a man i* not a good 'historian simply because he knows noth ing of the Battle of the Boards. The event belongs to Kentucky history, and Collins, quoting from the autobiography of Dr. J. J. Polk, in which Colonel James Ray is represented as telling this particular story, gives it as follows: “About 1783, when the Indians still roved the forests, plundering and mur- during the whites, three men left Har- rod’s Station to search for horses which had strayed off. They pursued the trail through the rich pea-vine and cane for some miles. Frequently they saw signs of Indians in their vicinity, and moved with cautious steps. They continued to search until darkness, and a cold rain drove them to the shelter of a deserted log cabin, thickly surreunded by cane and matted over with grape vines. They determined uot to strike a light, as the Indians knew the location of the cabin, and, like themselves, might seek its friendly shelter and dispute their right to possession. They concluded to ascend into the loft of the cabin, the floor of which was clap boards resting upon round pol«s. In their novel possession they lay down silently, side by side, each man holding his trusty rifle in bis arms. They bad not been in this perilous position long when six well armed Indians en tered the cabin, placed their guns and other implements of war and hunting in a corner, struck a light and began to make the usual demonstration of joy on such occasions. One of our heroes de termining to know the number of the Indians—he was the middle man of the three, and lying on his back—as hilarity and mirth grew noisier, attempted to turn over and get a peep at things be llow. His comrades held him, to keep bim from turning over; in the struggle one of the poles broke, and with a tremendous crash the clapboards and the men fell into the midst of the affrighted Indians, who, with a yell of terror fled from the house, leaving their guns— never returned. The scarcely less terri fied whites remained in quiet possession of the cabin, and in the morning re turned to the station with their trophies. Whenever the three heroes met in aftei life they laughed immoderately over then strange deliverance, and what they called the Battle of the Boards.”—Courier- Journal. Brags lor Emergencies. The list of drugs that will raise the body temperature is not very extended, but many of them have powerful actions in this respect and a general knowledge of them is of value to every intelligent person. In sudden emergencies when the temperature drops far below the normal they may prove of inestimable value. The most common thing used for this purpose is alcohol when given in small doses, but the effect on the temperature is only temporary, followed generally by a reactive tendency which * carries the temperature the other way. The drug that is the most powerful in this respect is belladonna, which will rapidly raise the temperature of the body. Similar to this the so-calied chloride of gold, which if pushed to its highest effect will not only r.ise the temperature, but cause the so-called ‘•auric fever.” The body temperature is also increased quite safely by cocaine, caffeine, and compounds of drugs con taining them. When administered in large doses, phosphorous will likewise caiise a marked elevation in the tem perature. These are really the most im portant agents containing this peculiar property, and they are generally the ones to be relied upon in sudden emergencies. —Yankee Blade. To Wind the Clock. The annoyance resulting from allow ing a clock to run down need never more be experienced. A recent patent issued describes a small electric motor so at tached to the clock mechanism as to au tomatically and periodically wind the spring. Current can be supplied the motor from a lamp socket or a battery, and as long as such current is supplied the-clock will be self-winding.—Detroit Free Press. The article,'* A Detroit Miracle,” taken from a Detroit paper, is quite interesting reading. It tells how one of the best-knOwn merchants of that city suddenly appeared at his business with apparently a new lease of life, when it was supposed that he was a very sick man.

Great Britain Adopts Extraordi nary Precautions. The London Lancet, England’s leading medical authority, says that the cholera is making steady headway in Russia, and that even the incomplete official returns received admit that 550 deaths are caused daily by the disease. It is spreading westward, and the report that it has invaded Roumania, i f true, is of serious import to Europe. No proper account, the Lancet says, nas yet been issued with regard to the disease in Ptris. The Lancet concludes its article as follows: “When half the people attacked die it matters little what name is given to the cholera in Paris and its suburbs.” The Paris correspondent of the Lancet telegraphs that M. Netter, a member of the Hygiene Publique, reports that in twenty- nine out of forty-nine* cases of illness which he has investigated he has found the true cholera bacillus. M. Netter further says that true cholera is limited to the suburbs of Paris, and that only that form of disease known as cholerine exists in the city. Pro fessor Dieulafoy, however, states that he has found the cholera bacillus in two cases in Paris. “In view of the report of the commission of Spanish doctors that the cholera epidemic in thg suburbs of Paris is undoubtedly Asia tic cholera, it may be of interest,” says a London dispatch “to know exactly what pre- cautious are being taken by the authorities to minimize the risk of such a terrible plague in England. A« France is so close and a ceaseless interchange of visitors is al ways going on, it is recognized that it would be futile to attempt to deal with such a dis ease as cholera by quarantine. In fact, there are only two human diseases to which quarantine regulations apply in this country; what is known as Levantine plague and yel low fever. “In audition to the order recently issued to all port and other sanitary authorities ab solutely prohibiting the landing in England of all rags from France, it has been ordered that when a customs officer boards a 'vessel in port he must ask whether there are any cases of disease on board, and if there is the slightest suspicion of cholera, he must detain the vessel pending the arrival of the medical officer of health, who examines every one on board and detains every person who is suf fering from cholera, rie may also detain everyone whom he suspects to be suffering from cholera, provided the detention does not exceed forty-eight hours, which is con sidered sufficient to enable him to ascertain beyond doubt wh-ther it is an indubitable case or not. All other passengers are allowed to land on condition of giving their names and places of destination. “Then there comes into play the system in force for communicating with the medical officer of health of every district to which any passenger is going, and the local sani tary administration of the district itself is reded upon to prevent the spread of cholera. “It is claimed that the sanitary condition of ports in Great Britain is far superior to anything which exists in foreign countries, although in the case of Marseilles, for in stance, considerable improvement has been noticeable of late. At all ports in the United Kingdom there are hospitals, wnere persons suffering from cholera would be isolated. All the port and sanitary authorities know their duties perfectly.” St. Petersburg advices state that the cholera has made its appearance in Poland, ind several cases are reported at Warsaw, [t continues to rage with virulence in the ioutheast of Russia. On account of the spread of cholera, the great Nishni-Novgorod fair will be closed ;his year earlier than formerly. Most of the richest merchants have remained away for fear of contracting the disease. The at- :endance of traders is said to be only a third j: what it has been in former years. NEWSY GLEANINGS. We have 512,500 telephones. Raitt delayed Southern crops. Uncle Sam has 73,034 paupers. Irrigation spreads in the West. The cholera is abating in Russia. The crop prospects in Canada are good. The Illinois militia have a bicycle corps. Grasshoppers have appeared in Arizona. There Is a great scarcity of binding twine. The religious war in Africa is becoming worse. A general expansion of trade has de veloped itself. California is the banner State for artesian wells. Northern Mexico is again confronted by a total crop faiiure. There is a short grain crop in Oregon, Washington and Kansas. At Moscow, Russia, 600 children died within a week of an intestinal disease. Train loads of Kansas and Nebraska corn are being sold in Mexico for $3 a bushel. The acreage of watermelons at the South is twenty-five per cent, less this year than last. A million dollar shortage has bean dis covered in the State accounts of Pueblo, Mexico. Thirty sardine factories in Maine are closed because there is no run of suitable sized fish to pack. The probabilities are that there will be a general improvement in business up until late in the autumn. Another Revolutionary movement is growing in Cuba against the government of that island by Spain. Another big crop year is on its way. and the estimate ! aggregate of wheat this year is 575,000,000 bushels, against 012,000,000 last year. An English syndacate has purchased for 51,250.000 an extensive tract near Laramie, Wyoming, upon which a Scottish ‘ colony will settle. The Georgia Railroad Commission has raised the valuation of the roads in that State for taxable purposes from §18,001,000 to §47,000,000. The North Carolina Railway Commission completed the tabie, showing the various railway lines. There are seventy of these, and the total lengrn is 3543 miles. The San Francisco peak, near Flagstaff, Arizona, is attracting much attention this summer, and a trail has recently been com- E leted to the top, where one can sleep on a ed of violets, and then go up a short dis tance and walk on six teet of snow for a cnauge. The annual statement of the Pension agent at Knoxville, Tenn., shows that mere were 46.302 pensioners on the list June 33th last. Ot mis number mere were twenty-tour men of the War of 1812 and 1312 widows. There 4412 Mexican veterans and 3628 widows. There are fifteen widows of the Revolution in the United States who draw pensions. Of tuis nuinaer se/en are on the Knoxville rolls. There are 3043 policemen in New York City, an increase of 1122 since 188 >, an in crease justified by the gam in population. List year 20,124 parsons were arrested, 18,- 012 of wnom were females. There were 3423 persons arrested for violations of the excise law, a decrease of 13;3 as compared with the preceding year. Tne value ot lost property restored to owners was over §1,000,000.

A new idea in iuiumcr millinery re ported from Paris is to tie the strings ow at one side of the knot or braid of hair, instead of under the chin. It is a much cooler and more comfort able arrangement for warm weather than the usual one—a revival of an old style that will he welcomed by women with rounded cheeks and fine profile. If prefered the strings may he tied under the hair at the hack, though this will not prove as generally becoming.—[New York Times. TO REPLACE THE BOA. To replace the boa, so patronized the past winter, there are all sorts of airy things for the neck, made of lace, feather tips, net, chiffon, zihlinette tufts, etc. Long fichus of iisse are trimmed with pleated edges of the same, edged with tiny feather tips about an inch in length, taken from the extreme ends of ostrich feathers. They* appear to be woven with the delicate fabric, hut they are not. These fichus are to be worn wiih the fashionable demi-decollette gowns of the summer, and though very lovely to look at, they are as ephemeral as they are beautiful. The lace fichu or the one of net, handsomely lace-edged, is a far better choice for those who think for a moment of economy in making a purchase. These lace cov erings are more protective than one might imagine.— [New York Post. FROCKS FOR LITTLE WOMEN. Dainty party frocks of China silk, Henrietta, crepon, etc., in Avhite or delicate shades, have a gathered skirt, round or slightly-pointed waist, and sleeves in two puffs to the elbow, with a frill of ecru point de Genes lace corresponding with the bertha frill of the same, writes Emma II. Hooper. The guimpe is of mull or the finest of India linen. The heavy Madras and cotton cheviots are selected for sailor suits, trimmed with white cotton braid. Yokes, girdles and cuffs of colored pique are worn o i white pique frocks, with white braid trim ming the blue portions. Sailor suits have the skirts box-piaited or gath ered. Point de Genes lace is used as a bertha or brctelles frill, flat yoke and Vandyke collar. Belts of inser tion are worn on gingham frocks. Lawn, mull and batiste frocks are simply trimmed with a frill of the goods around the low neck and worn with a white guimpe. Russian em broidery in colors or stripes of batiste, Hamburg embroidery, point de Genes lace, velvet and satin ribbons are all used for trimming girls’ dresses. HOW AIGRETTES ARE OBTAINED. From a little pamphlet just issued by the Society for the Protection of Birds in England, it appears that the white aigrette, so much worn on bon nets and hats and as ornaments for the hair, are obtained from the egret, or heron. The bird is found in warm climates, and is smaller and more graceful in line than the English heron. The feathers of this bird are white, very delicate, and spirally curled toward the point. The plumage of the egret is so snowy white that different species of the bird have been given scientific names of alba irn- maculata and enndidissima. The special plumes, so much in de mand for millinery, grow only in the breeding season. The hunters find the best and easiest time to shoot the bird and secure these feathers to he when the young egrets are fully fledged, but not able to fly. It has been computed that for every bird of the rare species that is captured ten have been sacrificed, counting the young that die of starvation, the wounded that fly away to drop down into the reeds and bushes to die, and those that are too much mutilated to he used iu decoration.—[New York News. Robbers Taken Out and Their Dead Bodies Lett Where They l*’ell. Several Texans from the Mexican frontier | report that six of the robbers who recently attache i Quarry Foreman C. H. Wood near Trespidras, on the Mexican International road, and who attempted to murder him and afterward robbbed his car, Rave been arrested by Mexican Ranrers. who, after identifying the men Oy stolen property upon their persons, took them out a snort distance from the main track and put the entire number to death. The six robbers were shot and their bodies lett where they fell. FOR SUMMER WEAR. What shall we get for the moun tains, the seaside, the ocean journey or the overland days by rail? Are questions that are bothering the great composite brain of all womankind these days when the campaign has been decided on but not the uniform. Navy blue and white is staple, alway s becoming and looks cool—three very important elements in a warm weather outfit. One pretty gown of this char acter was of blue serge, with narrow white stripes, more like hair lines than anything else. The boaice had wide revers and a deep belt formed of a double row of blue and white ribbon passed twice abound the waist and ended in a butterfly bow a little to the left side in front. The bell skirt and high full sleeves were uturiinmed and a Tuscan open-work yellow straw hat, with dark blue tips and an Alsa tian bow was just the li dsh for a very pretty costume. Another one which is going to Eu rope was a little brown and white check, one of those tiny little patterns that look like a child’s gingham apron. The skirt was slashed high in the left side and disclosed a panel of whi e ladies’ cloth crossed in tiny diamonds with brown siik braid. The bodice had a narrow coat-tail back, and the rest of white corresponded with the panel. The sleeves and collar were ! of the checked material, and both were unusually higb. Brown gloves and a brown sailor bat with a white ribbon band were worn with this quiet but pretty brown. A fawn Bed ford cord had a corselet of heliotrope faille braided in silver. This was very charming, but a little too dressy for the regulation traveling garb. The first two models are not only appro priate, but as pretty as they cau be. Of course the colors can be changed if one desires, but as a rule it is best to “leave well enough alone,” and in this instance it is especially advisable. — [St. Louis Republic. WASHING GOWNS. Embroidered cambrics and other washing fabrics of the embroidered flounce type are not in demand, as they ill accord with the present fashion of skirts. The most general mode of making washing skirts is the plain, straight style, which just escapes the ground, and without any extra length at the hack. The fullness which necessarily comes to the back when there is no gore or slope is arranged iu flat plaits and forms a graceful back. Foundations are no longer used with ordinary cotton. Before deciding upon the make of the skirt> consider your petticoats. If the cotton is of light color, an unlined dress- skirt means white petticoats; but if lined throughout, dark petticoats cau be worn, as silk ones are usually worn with cotton gowns. The unlincd skirt also necessitates extra petticoats. Jaconet, nainsook or chock muslin make good linings and do not shrink. No frills are required inside cotton gowns, bat even when lined through out there should be a facing of the same material. Lace, Irish point and guipute are much sought for washing gowns. A charming gown of plain buttercup-yellow saline has a simple skirt and plainly fitted round front and sides. One tiny frill of the ma terial and border of the narrow white insertion complete the trimming. The bodice is made on a shaped lining and has a very short, round basque. The top of the bodice is perfectly smooth and tight, hut the lower part has no gores or dans, and is drawn iu folds to fit the figure. Embroidery aud insertion U laid iu corselet fashion on the bodice, and also again at the waist and basque. The sleeves have huge puffs of the material, divided by facings of einbroidcrv to form cuffs. This simple little gown can be quite easily fashioned by the home dress maker.— [Once A Week. FASHION NOTES. Tiny lace-pins, stick-pins and hat pins are made in heart-shajpo. Skeleton frames of Wire-strung beads are pretty for dressy bonnets. AVaists in long-coat aud blouse fashion seem to bo the favored styles. A bracslot has two hearts of tur quoise, encircled with a truo-lover’s knot of diamonds. Among the popular trimming ma terials are double-faced satin ribbons with corded edges. Elegant passementerie of colored heads on ril bon-like grounds are used for trimming colored dresses. AVaist-bands corselets and girdles are made of beads, jewels, cords and metal threads, and have very long fringes of various styles. Elegant trimmings on net founda tions are covered with spangles, beads, jewels and bullion arranged to form flowers aud leaves. A handsome material which promi ses to be popular this season is black grenadine, which comes in a great va riety of lacy patterns, with stiipes, dots, waves, and floral designs of satin. Gay Russian blouses, for wearing with blazers aud skirts, come in stripes of three colors four inches wide, joined with black crewel cross stitches and embroidered in a cross- stitch pattern. Silk crapes, deeply crinkled like those of wool, oriental foulards, and foulards with bright chintz figure 3 , white satin striped India silks, with fruit or ball patterns, are among the novelties in summer materials. High collars of rich passementerie extend around the eide? and back of the neck, and continue in long points down the front of the waist. A space of about three inches between the edges of the collar and fronts is filled in with some diaphanous material- The edges of the passementeries are held in place by stick-pins. One Touch of Nature. Animals when sick are the most helpless and appreciative of ail crea tures, ami the way of administering relief and medicine in many instances is as novel as it is effective. The .nost savage and revengeful animals during spells of severe pain are as docile and tractable as a child. Relief must come from a human being and come quickly, and they seem to know it. The most vicious horse when groaning with pain would allow a mere child to ad minister relief, and many of the wild animals when iu sickness seem to for get their savage instincts.—[Flnla. de’phia Press.

I I K GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN , .MEDICAL SCIENCE. 1 CAKTICULARS OF ONE OF THE MOST REMARK ABLE CURES ON RECORD DKSCRIB D BY THE DETROIT NEWS—A STORY WORTH A CAREFUL PERUSAL. |( Detroit News.) The followine parasrapb, which aooeare 1 in the News a short time ago, furnished the basis of this information—a ease that was ‘•o wonderfully remarkable that it denaandei further explanation. It is of sufficient im uortance to the News’ reader* to report it to them fully. It was so important then that it attracted considerable attention at the time. The following is the paragraph in question: “C. B. Northrop, for 28 years one of the best known merchants on Woodward ave nue, who was supposed to be dying last spring of locomotor ataxia, or creeping paralysis, has secured a new lease of life and returned to work at his store. The diseas ■ has alwavs been supposed to be incurable, but Mr. Northrop’s condition is greatly hn- oroved, and it looks now as if the grave would be cheated of its prey.” Since that time Mr. Northrop has steadily improved, not only in looks, but in con lition. till he has regained his old-time strength- It had been hinted to the writer ot this article, who was acquainted with Mr. Northrop, that this miraculous change ha i been wrought by a verv simple remedy called Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple. When asked about it Mr. Northrop fully verified the statement, an 1 not only so, but he bad taken pains to inform any one w ho was suffering in a similar manner wht n tie hear i of an v such ease. Mr. Northrop was enthusiastic at the result in his own case o:' Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. It was a remedy that he had heard of after he had tried everything he could hope to give him relief. He had been in the care of the best physicians who did all they could to alleviate this terrible malady, but without any avail. He had given up hope, when a friend in Lockport, N. Y., wrote him of the case of a person there who had been cured in similar circumstanc >s by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peoole. The person cured at Lockport had obtained his information respecting Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills from an article published in the Hamilton, Ont. Times. The case was called “The Hamilton Miracle’' and told the story of a man in that city who, after almost incredible suffering, was pro nounced by the most eminent physicians to be incurable and permanently disabled. He had spent hundreds of dollars in ail sorts of treatment and appliances only to be told in the end that there was no hope for him, and that cure was impossible. The person al luded to (Mr. John .Marshall, of 25 Little William St., Hamilton, Out.,) was a mem ber of the Royal Templars of Temperance, and after having been pronounced perma nently disabled and incurable by the physi cians, was paid the §1000disability insurance provided by the order for its members in such cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been utterly helpless, and was barely able to drag himself around his house with the aid of crutches. His agonies were almost unbear able and life was a burden to him, when at last relief came. Some mouths after he had been paid the disability claim he heard of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and was induced to try them. The result was miraculous; almost from the outset an improvement was noticed, and in a few months the man whom medical experts had said was incurable, was going about the city healthier and stronger than before. Mr. Marshall was so well known in Hamilton that all the city newspapers wrote up his wonderful recovery in detail, and it was thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop came into possession of the information that led to his equally marvelous recovery. One could scarcely conceive a case more hopeless than that of Mr. Northrop. His injury came about in this way: One day, nearly four years ago, he stumbled aud tell the complete length of a steep flight of stairs which were at the rear of his store. His head and spine were severely injured. He was picked up and taken to his home. Creep ing paralysis very soon developed itself, and in spite of the most strenuous efforts of friends and physicians the ter rible affliction fastened itself upon him. For nearly two years he was perfectly helpless. He could do nothing to sup port his strength in the least effort. He had to be wheeled about iu an invalid’s chair. He was weak, pale and fast sinking when his timely information came that veritably snatched his life trom tde jaws of dealt). Those who at that time saw a feeble old man wheeled into his store on an invalid’s chair W'oulcl not recognize the man now, so great is the change that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have wrought. When Mr. Nondrop learned of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall in Hamilton, and the person in Lockport, he procured a supply ot Dr. VV illiams’ Pink Pills through .uessrs. Bassett & L’riomme- dieu, 95 Woodward avenue, and from the outset tound an improvement. He faithfully adhered to the use ot the remedy until now he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop declares that there can be no doubt as to Pink Pills being the cause of his restoration to health, as ail other remedies and-medical treatment left him in aconiition rapidly go ing from bad to worse, until at last it was declared there was no hope tor him and he was pronounced incurable. He was in this terrible condition when he began to use Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and they have restored him to health. Mr. Northrop was asked what wasciaimed for this wonderful remedy, and replied that he understood that the proprietors claim it to be a blood builder and nerve restorer; supplying in a condensed form all the ele ments necessary to enrich the blood, restore shattered nerves and drive out disease. It is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheumaiism, sciatica, palpitation of the heart, headache, and all diseases peculiar to females, lossol appetite, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss ot memory, and all diseases arising from overwork, mental worry, loss of vital force, etc. “I want to say,” said Mr. Northrop, “that I don’t have much faith in patent medicines, but 1 cannot sav too much in favor of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The proprietors,how ever, claim that they are not a patent med icine in the sense in which that term is used, but a highly scientific preparation, the re sult of years of careful study and experi ment on the part of the proprietors, and the pills were successfully used in private practice for years before being placed for general * sale. Mr. Northrop declares that he is a living ex ample that there is nothing to equtl the*e pills as a cure for nerve diseases. On inquiry the writer found that these pilis were man ufactured by Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., anti BrocKvi.le, Ont., and the pills are sold in boxes (never in bul l by the hundred), at 59 cents a box. and may be had of ail druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’Medicine Co., from either above addres-es. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment with them comparatively inexpensive as compared with other remoiies or medical treatment. This case is one of the most re- marKsbie on record, and as it is one right here in Detroit, aud oot a thou-an i miles away, it cun be easily verified. Mr. North- rup is very well known to the people o' Detroit, and he says he is only too giad to festity of the marvelous good wrought in his case. He says he considers it his duty to heip all who are similarly afflicted by any word he can say in behalf or the wonderful efficacy of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pdls. Death to Prairie Dogs. To destroy prairie dogs in testing the fields, the following method is recom mended by a Kansas man who has had trouble with the little brutes. He says: “I have just come from the pasture where I have been troubled for years with a city of forty acres of prairie dogs. A few days ago I procured a remedy lor the scourge and I feel like proclaiming it from the housetops if necessary, and here it is: Carbon bisulphide, ad ministered thus: Take balls of cotton batting—or cotton rags will do—enough to have one for each hole; put them in a basket with your jug or bottle of carbon ; take one ball, pour on a litt’.e of the fluid—a teaspoonful or so—roll it down the hole and with a spade stop tae hole, and Mr. and Mrs. Dog will sleep their everlasting sleep. Out of over 300 holes, ’not one lived to tell the tale.’ Now, this is a sure remedy and very easily applied, and worth a bunch if put m practice.”—St. Louis Republic.
