Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo., during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: "My food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and I had
auch pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up I would
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. I ached
11' day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower
Then the change came. It has done
me a wonderful deal of good during
the time I have taken it and is work
ing a complete cure."

IN A GERMAN HOTEL.
Conrarion Creates! by aa Kngllskmaa
Who Wauled Bath at One.
When a dud announce Id a Oeruiao hotel
that be has uuule up bis mind to take a bath,
a wave of Incredulity, baffled wrath aud
alert rtsaeuuueut sweeps orer the establisb
meiit The chambermaid rushes after ibe
waiter, he brings the manager, and Anally
the proprietor cornea up and looks the guea
over with an air of dim melancholy.
"Why," be asks sadly, "do you take a bath
to-uighir
"because I want it"
"Here lu this rooiuT
"Of course. 1 dou't propose to go oa the
roof of the hotel "
"Oh, well, ail right," the proprietor say,
with the air of a man who washes hi baud
of a transaction that Involve a suspicion of
murder at the very least. "U you will do it
it must be don. Hans, a hot bath for 44."
The waiter mutters something beneath hi
breath about the eccentricity of foreigner
and goes sadly away. Presently be look in
a'aiii and remarks that it is after 9 o'clock,
uml it will take two hours to make prepara
tions. Forty-four who happened In this
nine to be an English merchant occupying an
adjoining room to mine threw a book at
him, came Into my room in pajamas and
seething rage, aud delivered ail eloquent ora
tion alniut the recalcitrant spirit with which
the Itermaiis regarded water.
"I'll get tbe bath," be announced, a be
strode into his room with a scowl, "if lhave
to call iu the aid of our minister."
Tbe utmost confusion reigned during the
next half hour. Tbe one idea that seemed to
animate everybody in the hotel, from the chef
to the chambermaid of the top floor, was the
necessity of stopping the rash project of No.
44. Every effort was made, but the result
was fiilinre, grim and complete. About 10
o'clock the pulling and grunting of a body of
men was heard on the stain, and presently
two waiters and a watchman staggered in
with a bath tub, which consisted in equal
part of green paint, cast Iron and rust.
They dropjied it in the middle of the floor,
cursed their fute with whole souled, Teutonic
enthusiasm, took off their coat, pulled up
their sleeves, aud fell to work with several
other attaches carrying water up from Uie
sub-baseuicut to tbe third floor in small tin
pails.
By this time half the guest In the hotel
bad their heads out of the doorway, making
large vocal efforts to Hud out whether the
uproar meant a Ore or another dead emperor.
When they found it was an Englishman tak
ing a bath at that hour or tbe night, the ex
citement was more intense than it would
have been as the result of a new death at the
paluce or a genuine conflagration. Berlin

Colored People of Savannah.
The first xople one sees in Savannah, a
the steamer near her wharf, are the swarm
lug colored men, gathering to help tbe
steamer unload or give tbe operation the
benefit of their auctioning presence. Tbey
are the most motley crowd that anyone ever
saw; their gurb ranges from tbe most ap
proved attire of the modern dude to almost
uo attire at all, or an attire exclusively of
patches; If any one thinks that clothes mad
of nothing but patches are an impossibility,
be should see some of these people and be
convinced to the contrary. They stand and
sit lu all attitude of picturesque repose; aud
when Unseize the gangplank to run It on
board, sluiiding so close to each other on
each side of the plank that they are like pea
in a pod, they grunt and groan as if each oue
were lifting the plank all alone.
This scene was the beginuiug of my in
terest iu the colored people of Savannah, and
I never ceased to observe them while 1 was
iu the city. They are the merriest, most
couteuted, most philosophical people In the
world. They sing or whistle almost cease
lessly. Listen at any moment, and you will
bear a graud combination of whistles riling
ou the air. Iu tbe evening the colored wo
ple sit In tbe parks or on the street corners,
or wander up and down, singing, whistling,
or playing their harmonicas a sort of In
strument of which they are very fond. They
improvise rather than perform, each nero
apearing to prefer certain notes, to which
he returns frequently and fondly a he pro
ceeds with his "tune," which is for that mat
ter a genuine melody, generally iu a minor
key. If there is a really and thoroughly
happy people iu the world, I should say,
from my brief observation of them, that the
colored inhabitants of Savannah are that
people. Cor. Boston Transcript.
A Hotel Clerk's Observations.
1 have been making one of the most pecul
iar studies you ever heard of during the past
two weeks, and I'm going to give you the re
sults of my investigation. During the time
I have mentioned I have put down )
guests for call in the morning; US of these
guests were blondes and 135 brunette. My
object was to ascertain, If possible, the varia
tion of the number of hours' sleep required
by the types of the two complexions. Then I
went a trifle further. I found 41 of the
guests to be below the average height, 86 to
be of about medium height, and 111 to be
what might be termed tall men. Now, just
look at this result: Calls for between S and T
a. m. Blonde. 98; brunettes, (15. Between
T aud 8 a. m. Blondes, 8; brunettes, 32. Be
tween 10 a. m. and Vi m. Blondes. 7; bru
nettes, !J8.
You will see by this that the blonde are
tbe earliest risers, and uphold their claim for
activity and nervousness. Mow, here are
three peculiar facta of the whole Investiga
tion, and tbey open up a vast field for anat
omical speculation. The entire forty-one
"shorties" were up all before 8 a. m. Those
of average height slept a little later, but not
one of them slept later than V o'clock. Every
one of the "sleepy beads," who dallied in
their beds until tbe sun had almost reached
its meridian, were of the taller types of man
hood.. There's something for study, and tbey
are tbe actual observations I hav taken.

A Astronomies! Tussle.
8ince Jupiter' satellite were discovered
by Galileo, in 1010, astronomers have been
greatly mystified by the phenomena of their
transits across the planet's disc Tbe fourth,
or farthest, satellite grows rapidly and In
creasingly fainter as it Dears the edge of the
disc, shine with moderate brilliancy for ten
or fifteen minutes alter contact, then disap
pears altogether for a like period, and lastly
comes out as a dark spot which become
darker and darker until it equals the black
ness of IU own shallow on the planet. The
jeoond satellite, however, seems never to
have been seen otherwise than as pure white
dunn;ransit. Tbe spiiea ranee of the third
aud tirst is different st I. tbe former having
been seen as iieiiectly white, and yet, even on
tbe next succeeding revolution, so black as to
be mistaken fur the fourth, while the Utter
is sometime a steel gray and sometimes a
little darker.
These singular anomalies, ay JJewromb,
are very difficult to account for except by
supposing very violent changes constantly in
pragma on tbe satellites' surface. After a
special study of some years, Mr. E. J. Kpitta,
R. A. reaches a different conclusion, at
tributes tbe apparent changes to kliosyn
r,Mem of our vision. Arkansaw Traveler.

PHOTOGRAPHY A RAGE AMONG
THE ARTISTICALLY INCLINED.
V ( urlooa ColleetioN of Picture Ob
tained lu tlie slums at Ml.talgtat by
Menus of the Magnesium Hauls Asusse
uirut fur due's Gueats.
Amateur ptotugrnphy has become a geoo
iti i-.i;e. Every self reoiwcting young per
son who would keep alireast of tbe time I
me owner of some sort of Instrument which
produce more or less Sieakiiig likenesses of
I mil ti lends and family, of everything that
lives and move ur has iu being within leus
range of their domicile, not to mention svery
nook aud corner of the bouse. There I
scarcely a library table throughout th
length aud breadth of this city which 1 not
ladeu with dim and wierd amateur likeness
ol the family pictures tin amateur regard
with bMul pride aud the family with In
dulgent toleration. But eveu this joy of
caricature begiu to pull on the bolder spirits,
and their very latest achievement aud de
light Is the flush light photograph.
For those who are unfamiliar with this
method of melancholy perpetuation it may
be necessary to explain that it include an In
stantaneous lenae, a detective camera, and
cartridge loaded with magnesium. These
cartridge are either fired off with a match
or exploded in a pistol made for the purpose.
With these implements an Instantaneous
picture can be taken lu the pitch dark, and
the favorite fad is to under the guidance
and protection of a policeman visit tbe
slums at midnight and by tbe use of the sud
deu blinding flash of magnesium cartridge
procure strange Incident of that quarter
taken a Uiey occurred.
A CLRIOLS COI.I.ICTIOS.
A physician here well known, too, but
who objects to any publicity concerning bis
little amusement has a curious collection of
pictures obtained in this way. He is a friend
of Inspector Byrne, and by special indul
gence and under the personal conduct of the
great detective was enabled to procure Kim
uegative that could not be duplicated In this
country. He and the inpector visited th
vilest dives and, without the inmate being
aware of bis purpose, he would get hi
camera focused, and without warning,
lightning flash from his pistol would fix the
scene of the plate. One of the scene in an
opium den is peculiarly effective, as be stood
in tbe doorway unnoticed until the magnes
ium light flashed out and caught the whole
picture, with every inmate of the place In
his uatural, unrestrained attitude. There
are fan tan players in the full fury of the
game on some of his plates; dauce ball,
tilled with half drunken and wholly drunken
brutes knocking their glasses ou the table In
applause of some salacious ditty chanted by
a bedizened creature whom it is flattery to
call a woman. Without going down into the
haunts of the criminal dames, it 1 possile,
through this large collection of proofs, to
get a clear idea of tbeiu iu their unconscious
h.dpousiiess.
Due of the most remarkable pictures Id
this collection i one taken, uot by the quick
glare of incandescent mineral, but impriuted
on the sensitive gelitiue by heaven's own fire.
When lr. first, began his experiments at
the seashore Inst summer there came a night
of pitchy blackness, with a prodigious wind
and great electrical disturbances, but no
ruin. Carrying the miners out upon the
beach and drawing the slide he waited for a
flash of the lightning, which was blinding in
its intensity. A sudden gleam lit the world
and as suddenly expired in blackness. He
closed the slide and carried the plate away
for development Such a picture as that rag
ing ocean, photographed by lightning, pre
sents was never equaled. It 1 like on of
Dore's ghastly phantasies.
AaKSlN'Q ONE'S QUESTS.
Another use of this flash photography is to
afford amusement to one's guest. It ha
superseded for the moment the amateur reel
tationist and the parlor warbler. At break
fast, luncheon and dinner parties the camera
man Is introduced and cutche a picture of
the entire scene, the result being dis
tributed by mail among the guest a few
days later. It used to be the fashion, when
attending a meal notable in any way, to se
cure the autographs of the whole party on
the back of the menu, but now it is held far
more desirable to have the likeness of tb
famous or beautiful irticipanU, and that in
their natural attitudes, engrossed In conver
sation, and uot primly arranged for perpetu
ation. The other night a lot of actor and artist
-Blum, Howard Pyre, Barber the etcher,
young Sothern, Bob Milliard, and more than
I cau recall at the moment were frolicking
In a studio at 3 o'clock in tbe morning when
Barber suddenly flashed his camera on t&T.i
aud they are fixed forever in the full tide of
a lark. The bottle are like leaves in Valam
brosa, tbe air is thick with smoke wreathes,
Hilhard 1 In the midst of a good story and
the auditors all roaring with laughter. It's
the most life like and picturesque photograph
of all of the many instantaneous picture I've
seen. Another was taken at a luncheon
given by Mrs. Stevens to Mis Paget Just be
fore she set sail for England, and the youqg
English beauty was caught by th camera
with ber mouth wide open iu a yawn, which
she took advantage of the momentary dark
ening of tbe room to indulge in. It displays,
does that rosy opening, a good double row of
sound white teeth, but tbe effect 1 very
funny, and ber friend say tbat her counte
nance is even moreoieu than candid. New

Armr Orders la Germany.
In the new regulations for the conduct of
field operations of tbe German army, th
careful observation and mathematical pre
cision of the German mind I clearly dis
cernible. The composition of tbe advance
guard and ttie rear guard at a marching
army has been variously formulated by mili
tary writers, with a general tendency to
strengthen tbe van and neglect tbe rear. Iu
the new German order this i reversed; th
rear guard being made by far tbe strongest,
because it cannot look for any support, while
the advanced guard, if in need of any re-en-forcementa,
bas only to fall back or wait for
the main body to come up It la, however,
where directions ar given as to keeping a
portion of tbe road clear on tbe line of march
and tbe treatment of troops while en rout
tbat these orders are most original and Inter
esting, and, with no intention of giving aa
opinion a to their efficacy , their reasonable
ness is obvious.
Students of military history will remember
how often armies with everything favoring
their success Cave been detained or van de
moralized by long marching without food.
It Is the footsore Infantry and to lam
horse of tbe cavalry tbat glv tb trouble,
for, as the strength of a chain is not greater
than tbat of lu weakest link, so aa army
cannot move faster than lu slowest sections.

was pardoned by the czar after several year'

"For smoking and minor offenses of that

"In the evening the director went hi

The birch rods were of exceptional site, and
when not in use they were kept immersed In
water so a to make them more pliant After
the tenth lash the shrieking ceased, aud
nothing was heard but groans. Flogging

Why Girls Fat Csndv.
"American girl eat more candy than th
girl of any other nation," said an observing
traveler recently to a reporter. "Tbey com
mence on New Year' day and then continue
until New Year's eve Always candy ; some
times because It is a birthday, sometimes be
cause they meet a friend, sometime because
It was sent to them. Tbey have as many x
cuse for eating candy a a man bas for
drinking whisky."
"Dou't foreign girl eat candy!"
"Ob, yes; and they are learning very fait
to folow tbe example of the fair sex ou this
side of the water. In this country the Yan
kee girls were the first to start tbe fashion,
or habit, as it should be more properly called,
and from the east It has spread all over th
country. Now I think tb western girl can
hold their own against all comers. In Eu
rope Germans, Italian and Hiuard ar
great eater of praline, chocolate a la
creme, sugared almonds and crystallised
fruit. French women eat fondants, and
there a man, when he escorts a lady to tbe
theatre, must cari with him a packat of
douceurs. In England candy eating started
with sucking caramels or nibbling creme.
Now tb wel to do Briton eat sweets with
his wine after dinner. Tbey are fond of
fondant, nougat, candled mandarins or
taugerlnes and other kind, Butter Scotch,
barley sugar and chocolate are tbe ordinary,
very day candies. Soldier suck almond
rock whil doing sentry duty, the policeman
on his beat usually bas a bull's eye or brandy
ball In bis mouth, and tb British tar chews
an American caramel Instead of the quid of
pigtail that need to distend his swarthy
