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.

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

CHOLERA IN EUROPE.
The Dread Disease Spreading
Rapidly in All Directions.
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.

new idea in millinery.
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

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.

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.

Animals when sick are the most
helpless and appreciative of ail crea

relief and medicine in many instances
is as novel as it is effective. The .nost
savage and revengeful animals during

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.

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.
