coating of the stomach and alimentary canal, they are powerfully alterative and
Tonic, They are everything to inflamed or irritated surfaces. They act upon the
blood, changing it from acid to alkaline. In Indigestion, Catarrh of Stomach and
fliustralgia, supplemented with a proper diet, they are a certain cure. The action
upon the kidneys is marked. The Sodium, Potash, Soda, Lithia, are *h3 best solvents

steadily dissolved. 1 am confident that the profession Will find it very useful in

An extended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Water prompts'mo lo the statement,
that I regard it as one of the best, if not the liest, Lithia Waters known to
the profession. In the condition of Phosphatic Urine, lis action is marvellous, its
use in the Kheumatio and (Jouty Diseases afford me more comfort than either the

has been ob- '
<.%.*. ? sctiretl for sev- I
eral days by t.
clouds of flies, which came from the
interior country.?The New York Sun. t.
Is this the |>rool of the story told 1
by the late General Jo O. Shelbv, the *
Confederate who never surrendered. ?
but who, nevertheless, died United d
States Marshal for the Western Dis- s
trict of Missouri? Has the Cavern of ?
Flies broken loose? v
It was near this same Fecoh, according
to the General's story, that u
Walter Andrews ltalister, formerly J
living near Kansas City, Mo., won a ^
fortune l?y entering the famous Cavern r
of Flies.
The Cavern of Flies Is one of the a
most wonderful ami, at the same time,
oue of the most hideous places in the
world^ , t
Balister's adventure, in dariilg ami
inexpressible terror, is not exceeded
the most extravagant tliglits of lie- ?
iiou. The nieniory of his experience d
undoubtedly wore upon Balister's 11
mind, for he packed up six years ago
and left his home, saying! '
"I ant going to Greenland, where it
is too Cold for Hies." *
It is not known in what year he "
went to Yucatan. By a strange whim 11
of fortune this tall, thin youth, from r
the district of Missouri, where the 11
.Tames boys had their haunts, found
himself shipping from New Orleans as d
one of a party to explore the ancient P
ruins of Yucntan. ^
When he returned to Jackson County
in 18R0 his old friends did not know t
him. His face and hands were cov- h
ered with countless tiny blue spots, as t
if ho had been tattooed. Ho had t
plenty of money. *lH??-ugti tie went t
fvo?? nrisSburi hills with nothing
except the six-shooter in his hip poc- s
ket.
He built a line house. Each window c
of the house was provided with firm h
wire netting. A summer house in the o
grounds was built, enmeshed entirely
with netting. When asked why he
used all this expensive wire netting, f<
Balister replied, gruflly: n
"To keep out Hies!" h
Soon his black servants told a !>
strange story. Their master's chief a
requirement was that they should let
no Hies into the house. If he heard tl
one buzzing, every person in the
bouse was ordered to kill that fly, to tl
do nothing until the fly was killed. ?
One day Balister found a black boy tl
asleep with a fly perched on his nose, s1
He struck the boy a blow that all but
killed him! P
It was too near the big up-to-date s<
town of Kansas City for black boys to tl
bo struck down by their masters, tl
hence Balister was arrested for assault
with intent to kill. h
He declared he aimed at the fly, not i'
the boy. This excuse was considered si
i bit of grim humor.
It was this circumstance that led ni
he strange man to tell to the late a<
Lteneral J. O. Shelby the story of the w
"Cavern of Flies." General Shelby gi
told the story several times in convivial
moments.
Bulister's father was one of my ol
iravest soldiers," said General Shelby,
and rode to Mexico with me rather p:
ban surrender to the Yankees. I met b
,'oung Balister, but never asked him p
vliat made his face bine. Gentlemen,
hat man was blue all ovir! When he ft
vas charged with trying to kill the ai
>ov, he said to me: b
" 'General, it is no joke?I did aim el
it the fly!' w
"Then he told me the story which, b
ie said, had never passed his lips beoro,
it was so paiuful for him t<? toll, h
"It seems that somewhere in the incrior
of Yucatan, near Feeoh, two of o<
he expedition, nccoinpanietl by Balis- 1 ti
er. found a lot of ruins covered by j
orest trees. An immense hill *?f lava i

ill they found these ruins, tl
"Among the peculiar features of an . ii
incient temple was an underground i
untie], which, by observation, they 1 tl

"In their efforts to follow this tnn- j It
ifl the party was driven hack l?y i

>f the passage were covered with a e<
pecies of flies which pu/./.led the ex sj
ilorers. They had never seen any hi
lies of that sort in that land of flies.
"Determined to solve the mystery
if the underground passage, the party ! st
tovered their faces and hands with ' tn
iloths and pushed resolutely on |
hrough ever-increasing clouds of flies, tl
Vh they went further the ancient air ; m
(rew warmer and moist, and an iutol w
riilde odor assailed thein. They wer tl
lriven back, f?

aillions ami billions of flies!
"The swarms blotted out the rifts of
laylight, The torches were extin;uished,
and the men fell upon their
aces to escape the attack.
"Then, joining hands, they sought
o find the tunnel through which they
iad entered. The pests got under
heir clothes, under the cloths over
heir faces, and they were bitten in a
housand places.
"Balister said his companions
creamed with agony!
"They groped along the sides of the
avern, but everywhere their frantic
ands felt nothing but the bony legs
f the dead.
"Balister, gentlemen, was not a fat,
pectaeled scientist. He was a strong,
earless young mau of the stuff that
ever surrendered. Yet he said that
e felt his mind melting like a snowall
in an oven. He wanted to scream
nd gibber!
"But, observe Missouri instinct all
jis time?he clung to his booty!
"Ho does not know how long the
iree men struggled in that avalanche
f insects that choked them, that bit
lem in the gullet even as they were
wallowed.
"Balister lost hold of bis cornunions.
Their screams, he said,
blinded muffled in the angry roar of
10 myriads of flies which were eating
lem alive!
"Almost ready to full and have his
ones picked, Balister, by Missouri
istinct, drew his gun and began to
joot!
"Although shooting at flies was
lere madness, Balister said that the
?t of shooting savod his sanity. It
as so natural an act for a Missonrian,

" 'Come on!' he shouted to his comunions,

''So hri got down Oh all fours to '

Moving Hospitals.
The railway hospital car is the latest
novelty in foreign railroading. In the
event of a serious accident, these cars
can be run to the place of the disaster,
where the injured may bo picked up
and carried to the nearest large city
for treatment instead of being left to
pass long hours at some wayside station
while awaitiug surgical attendance.
It also enables the railway companies
at certain seasons or upon special occasions
to transport large numbers <jf
invalids to health resorts or places of
pilgrimage. The interior of the c? is
divided into a main compartment, a
corridor on one side and two small
rooms at the end. The largest compartment
is tlio hospital proper; it
contains twenty-four isolated beds.
Each patient lies in front of two little
windows. Each bed is provided with
a movablo table, and a cord serves to
hold all the various small objects
which the patient may require. The
corridors on tho outside lend to the
linen closet and the doctor's apartment.
Various trap doors in tho floor,
when opened, disclose to view an ice
chest, a compartment for the disinfection
of soiled linen, and a provision*
cellar. If necessary, a portion of the
hospital chamber may ho transformed
into an operating room for urgent
cases. Finally, as customary abroad,
a small chapel for religious worship is
provided. This car will bo put in
charge of a surgeon and nurses, and
will ho chiefly used to carry invalids
from Belgium direct to tho heulth resorts
of France.

Settled It on the Spot
in 0h? corner of a crowded fair In I
Boston a correspondent noticed a group
of small boys who Appeared to be ^inftxmsely
interested in the contents of
a showcase. Under the glazed cover of
the case were combe of honey and live
r> bees at work. By afld by one little fellow
leaned over too far and broke a
pane of glass with his elbQw.
The accident alarmed the boys,
fo though no one but the unobserved wlte
ne?s know of It beside themerfves. Pretending
to be quite absorbed hi other
ltl objects, the man watched them and
overheard all they said.
"I'm going to find the superintendent
and tell him," insisted the little offender.
8- "Oh, come onl He'll make you pay.
It'll take more money than you've got.
Let's get out, and sny nothing. You
didn't mean to do it, and nobody'll
know."
The culprit seemed to be In a minr.
ority of one, but he held to his resolution
without flinching.
"I'm going to find him," he said,
' stoutly. "Will you wait-for nip?"
,.o The gentleman who was noting the ~ -.Tr r-g
conduct of the boys expected a stampede
as soon as the glass-breaker started
on his errand; but one boy, more
le heroic than the rest, whispered, "Let's
hold on."
A good innny impatient minutes
passed before the little fellow
r* who broke the glass came back with
the superintendent.
The man was kind-hearted, and
when the awful question came, "What
shall I have to pay?" he refused to
charge anything for the damage.
I "You're an honest lad, nnd we'll call
It square. Only be more careful next
time," ho said.
The scared l>oys alL-viad a grin on
their faces now; nnd possibly the hero
| of the incident felt an Inch taller because
he knew he had done an honorable
net. Certainly he had made hto
companions feel somewhat ashamed,
i nnd they were the better for It.
Was he an "average boy"?of Boston
fc or of any other American city? If wo
? could be certain that each of the other
little men in that group would have
t done as he did in the same case, it
would help answer the question, and
* ; quite relieve the mind of an unpleasant
uncertainty.
Every small boy who rends this ahnll
have the benefit of the doubt; but remember
that the courage of honor nnd
truth is surer to become a liablt if it is
exercised early in life.?Youth's Companion.

The Old Greelc Costume.
J'* Men often wore the hlmatlon alone,
,e" without chiton. The chlainys, another
,n" rectnngulnr garment, shorter than the
liimation, weighted at the corners, and
fastened by a brooch so that one corner
' hung down in front, was worn by men,
with or without the chiton. It is espei
daily well shown in the horsemen on
the frieze of the Parthenon.
Occasionally Diana, or an Amazon,
I wears the chlamys, but it Is the dietluctive
garment of the young Greek.
v Hands, belts and fillets were much
worn. Men nud women wound fillets
ll? around their heads. Women wore, often
under their chiton, a breast ltand
? adjusted below the bosom, not to compress
the form, but to protect the or*
gans. Indeed, there was no temptation
to compress the waist, the flowing

Great care was taken of the hair; Indeed,

the bodily graces of the Greek. Women
often wore elaborate head-dresses;
or many were revived In the latter part
of the Eighteenth century nnd the first

head was covered either by folds of
the peplos brought over the head nnd
a around the throat, or by a separate
