MEDICAL
DISCOVERY
Many years afro Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., com
pounded this medicine of veifetable ingredi
ents which had an especial effect upon the
stomach and liver, lousing the organs to
healthful activity as well as purifying and
enriching the blood. By such means the
stomach and the nerves are supplied with
pure blood: they will not do duty without it
any more than a locomotive can run with
out coal. You can not get a lasting cure of
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, by taking arti
ficially digested foods or pepsin the stom
ach must do its own work in its own way.
Do not put your nerves to sleep with so
called celery mixtures, it is better to go to
the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve
cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Af
fections, such as sleeplessness and weak,
nervous feelings are completely cured by
the "Discovery." It puts on healthy flesh,
brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the
whole system.

RALLYING ROUND A CANDIDATE.
All Honda t'nlte to Malta General Kirby
Smith's Daughter a I'ostuilstrese.
Two months ago in the moat obscure
jiigeoubolo in the postmaster general 'i
office the application of Carrie Kirby
Smith was filed awny. It was not
weighty with reasons why she should be
appointed, nor did it lay any particular
claims to the attention of President
Cleveland. It bore no indorsement. It
was simply an humble- petition that the
applicant might be given the postofflce
tt Bewanee, Tenn. The only sentence
which might recommend this prayer to
Mr. Dissell was the closing paragraph:
I am the daughter of the lute Gen
eral Edmund Kirby Smith."
The fair applicant kept what slie bad
done a secret for three weeks when,
having grown accustomed to her disap
pointment at receiving no reply, she told
some one how she had dared to ask to
distribute the mail to the residents about
the mountain station and to thestudeuts
of the University of the South, who de
pend on this oflice for their letters. Tuns
her secret became known, and uow two
generations are watching for her ap
pointment that which made its record
along with Kirby Smith nud another
which hns grown np with ins daughter
on tho Cumberland piuteau. wuen
General Shoup, the Indiana sharpshoot
er, now occupying the chair of applied
mathematics at the Sowanee nniversity,
heard that Kirby Smith's "wur baby"
wanted an office, he swore by all the
Union and Confederate soldiers at once
that sho should have the place.
We will put her in if we have to call
out a regiment of war veteruns to do it,"
he said.
And this has literally come to pass.
From the Confederate Survivors' associ
ation at Nashville the humble applica
tion was made known throughout the
South and finally reached tho line of tho
Grand Army of the Republic posts in
the north. The fact thut u brave soldier
and distinguished general had died
leaving his family poor, and that his
daughter now came forward seeking to
aid in their support, was all that was
necessary to elicit the enthusiasm of
both sides. With scarcely an exception.
every Federal officer now living who had
fought against Kirby Smith bus made a
personal appeal for his (laughter, hoi.
diers of Bull Run and Manassas scrawl
ed out letters of recommendation, while
the Cove people in the mountains added
thoir testimonials to the worth of Kirby
Smith'B danghti'in characteristic dia
lect such as is found in Craddock's
stories of the hills. Tho students of tho
institution whore the genoral had so long
taiiL'ht "math" sent their indorsements
couched in elegant diction and sopho-
morio phrases. The alumni associa
tions of Sewanee throughout the coun
try have also added their indorsements
to help secure the appointment for their
fair friend of old collego days.
"I do not mind dying," said the gon-
eral once, "if Carrie is left. She is a
tower of strength."
His estimation of her seems to bo cor
rect. She no sooner found the main
prop of the family gone than she began
to cast about for other means of sup
port for her mother and young brothers
and sisters. Y nil ntmmiui courngo ior
a woman, sho decided to become the
postmaster where she had so long been
the indisputed hello.
Miss Kirby Smith is well known in
Washington, wliero she litis shone more

scarcely a large city in tho south or
west where sho hits not ut ono time or
another been tho recipient of social hon
ors. What Winnie Davis is to tho

Of course the judges had a bard time

created considerable disappointment,
but tho disinterested spectators agreed
that the awards were fair in every par

There was scarcely breathing room
around the chair npon which William

Mr. Mayo made a neat littlo speech.

promise that I would not read the list
until ho hud got across tho bridge and

If I had been in their place, I would huve
given every ene of the babies here a first

THE 6ETTER DOG.
Ita Mcrntlnt rower la Ho Fine a Ut lie n
Ho urea nf Wonder,
Iho scenting power of a well brod,
woll trained setter is a thing wholly
beyond human conception, and tho mar
V -lous exhibitions they give, of thir
power can scarcely bo credited. Indued
it would not be wise to seriously dis
cuss the quality of a (log's uoso woro it
not possible to verify tho stories that
might be told of this wonderful power.
Who would belle vo that a dog going ut
a good gallop, with a dead bird in its
mouth, could scent a live bird on tho
ground several yards to ono sido of. his
course? And yet thero aro few sports
men who havo not seen a dog point a
livo bird with a (lend bird in his month,
It would seem as if tho scent of tho bird
no near his uoso would prevent the dog
from scenting another bird of tho same
variety lying clone in tho grass several
yards from him. A man with a bunch
of roses in his face would not protend
ho could smull a bunch of similar flow
ers a foot away. If ho did, no ono would
boliuvo him.
Yet there is no doubt about the set
tor being ablo to smell und point live
birds on tho ground whilo bo holds t
dead bird in his mouth. lie goes fur
ther than this. Ilo points a (lend bird
on the ground with a dead bird in his
month, and he knows tho instant ho
fools tho scout that it is a dead bird
This fuct he expresses in his mannor of
pointing, und if it is a wounded bird ho
knows that, too, and indicates tho fact.
Most (logs aro taught to point stanch ly
a live bird nud not to point a dead bird.
Tho dog will go at full speed right np
to his dead bird aud never pause a mo
ment. If thero is a live bird near, be
will point that stolidity, and tho
promptness and certninty of bis deci
sions show that tho iustnut ho catches a
scout ho knows whether tho bird is alive
or dead. Ilo makes a distinction, loo,
betweou a (load bird, a livo bird nud a
wounded bird. Ho points the wonuded
bird differently from what ho docs tho
live bird and usually springs in and
catches it. What thero is about n wound
ed bird's scent thut lie can recognizo
instantly is a puzzle to every one who
has thought much of the question.

Hud Air Id Dining ltooiaa.
Borne few yeors ngo I was asked by a gen
tleman, who was celebrated for his choice
wines and dinners, to dine with him. I
usually declined attending a dinner for the
reason thnt the majority of dining rooms
become unendurable, iu consequence of the
foulness of tho air, before half the dinner
has been got over. Under great pressure 1
accepted this Invitation, and soon found
myself seated nt the (lining tame, witn lour
other gentlemen, in a room about 13 feet
square by 8 feet high.
Above the table were three gas jets
burning, and the windows being closed the
room felt close even when we entered it.
The menu which I glanced at showed whnt
an excellent dinner had been provided by
my host, but I had scarcely finished my
oysters and turtle soup when I began to
feel sick and giddy. I broke out into n
perspiration, and my heart wns beating at
the rate of about 120 a minute. I tried to
take long and rapid breaths, but with no
satisfactory results. There wtis no help
for it. I apologized to my host for being
ill, but said I must lenve. On reaching the
open air I li on to tho railings, ns I felt
weak mid gl. mid then breathed us rap
idly as I could. In less than a minute all
unpleasant sensations left me, ami I walked
quietly home, n distance of about half a
mile, breathing every now and then dur
ing half a minute or so as rapidly ns 1
could.
On entering my house I felt very hungry
and ordered some cold meat and bread and
cheese to he brought ine, and from these
unattractive viands I made an enjoyable
meal, because I was in pure air. The host
to whom I refer, although much niy junior
iu age, has beeu dead about live years.

Composing Whilo Asleep.
One of the most remarkable and puzzling
cases of somnambulism is one told by the
bishop of Ilorilenux. The subject was n
young ecclesiastic at the seminary. The
bishop was so deeply interested that lie went
nightly to the young man's chamber, lie
saw l'ini get out of bed, secure paper, com
pose mid write sermons. On finishing a
page he read it aloud. When a word (lis
pleased him, he wrote a correction with great
exactness. The bishop had seen the ln-giii
liiug of some of these somnambulistic ser
mons ami thought them well composed and
correctly written.
Curious to ascertain whether the young
man made use of his eyes, t he bishop put a
curd under his chin in such u manner ns to
prevent him seeing the paper on the table
before him, hut he still continued to
write. Not yet satisfied whether or not lie
could distinguish dilTerent objects placed
before hhu, the bishop took nwuy the piece
of paper on which he wrote ami siib-titut
ed several other kinds nt different time.
He always perceived the change, because
the pieces of p-qn-r were of dilTerent si,.
When a piece exactly like bis own was sub
stituted, he used it and wrote hiscurivc
tlons on the places corresponding to those
on his own paper.
It wns by this menus that portions of his
nocturnal compositions wereobtaiucil. His
most astonishing production was n piece of
music written w ith great exactitude, lie
used a cane for a ruler. The clefs, t he flats
and the sharps wereull in their right places.

in nil its majesty and grandeur, with a
sentinel on cither sido nearly equal its

7,000 feet.
Wo leave our wheels at the hotel and
drivo np to Lamb's ranch, whore wo
spend tho night nt un elevation of 10,
000 foot.
At sunrise, the next morning, mount
ed on horseback, with an experienced
guide iu tho lend, we ride np to timber
lino, wliero we picket our horses and
commence the climb of tho bowlder
fields, necessitating much courage and
determination, as theso bowlders aro
angular rocks of solid granite and run
iu sizo from a chicken coop to a mod

dor field was passed tho slubreoording the
deuth of Carrio Welton of Connecticut,

guide for hours made supernatural ef
forts to carry her over those almost iim
pnssablo rocks until, ut her request, ho
left her to bring a rescuing party trom
the ranch, which upon arrival found
lifo extinct.
Following tho guido, we puss through
on opening culled the "keyhole" and
emcrgo beside an unwelcome procipico.
Wo carefully pick our wny along the
brink, which requires ull our uorve nud
resolution, but yet is not ns tiresome as
tho looso sand and broken rock, rising
at nn incline of 45 degrees, just beyond.
By peraoveruuee and an occasional rest

where we stand speechless with wondor

Nearly 8,000 feet bolow is Fistcs park,

Old Ouray iu Marshall pass, some of
which are 200 miles distant What a
scene it isl What an ocean of mountain
billows, in constrast to which wo turn
to tho east and see an ocean of pluins

of tho party who oliuibed the peak in
1878 to witness tho total eclipse, to
gether with thousands of visitors' cards.
Tho top of the peak is level, covering
a few acres, and we wonder that n house
has not been built there for the accora

remain overnight and see the snn lise.
Before returning wo must take one look

Everything Groirl In Clrrles.
It is nn Inexplicable fact that all life
forms take the shape of circles. Everything
grows iu that manner, and it leads one to
wonder why tilings don't grow square in
stead of round. Why stems and leaves
should so conform is wonderful, and yet
that physical outlines of men and inani
mate objects should conform to the same
law is still more so. It almost compels us
to think of indelinite space as a circumfer
ence after nil. All streams move in a por
tion of a circumference of course, ns they
wind over the earth's surface, and hikes
have a circular current that goes round and
round. Hut the most remarkable fact rela
tive to the wr.ters of nature is that the At
lantic ocean is a sort of whirlpool or is pos
sessed of a circular current movement thnt
is so large, however, nud so long in the ac
complishment of oneevolutiou that the fact
cannot lie readily observed.
This gigantic maelstrom, which circles
alxmt from pole to pole and between the
four continents has n central point Around
which It revolves. This point is now def
initely fixed as beimr but a short distance
to the southwest of the Azores. That poiat
bas always been avoided by cautious mari
ners as dangerous and peculiarly squally.
When we see even the ocean's waters con
forming tothe law of circumference, it very
nearly completes Its meaning. interview

What the Chemist Dora For the Farmer.
Only short time ngo (the summer of
two fertilizers were suddenly placed
upon the Indiana market and sold for
.'7.50 and fc2.50 per ton, respectively.
These were analyzed by the state chemist,

it not been for a prompt publication from !

Helping Out a Medical Authority,
A medical authority says that In view
of a threatening plague people cannot
be too careful iu the selection of the ice
they use, as all sorts of disease may be
communicated by this medium, bnt no
directions governing the selection of ice
aro given. In order that the pnblio wel
fare mny be conserved we present a fow
general rules for the guidance of ice
purchasers.
The best ice is always cold, and some
times a slight moisture may be observed
npou the surface. It is devoid of smell
and will melt when exposed to a torn
peruture of 110 degrees F. Ice made
of water is most desirable. It should
bo transparent, or nearly so, and should
break into fragments when given
a sharp blow. Tough ice that will not
break is generally adulterated. Avoid
soft ice or ice that has been subjected to
excessive heat while nnder process of
manufacture.
It. sometimes presents a fine appear
ance, but is unhealthfuL Ice more than
three days old should not be purchased
as it is liable to turn sour on your hands
and will have to be thrown away. After
having melted, ice loses many of its vir
tuos and should not be used. It should
always be kept in a cool place and at a
distance from gas fixtures to avoid ex
plosions. Washington News-
