A quaint custom, which has been
practiced for centuries, still prevails in
Holborn, Eng-land. The time of nig'ht

somewhat in this style: ".Past one
o'clock, and a cold, wet morning."
Last June, Dick Crawford brought his
twelve months old child, suffering from
infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been
weaned at four months old and being
. ickly everything ran through it like
water through a sieve. I give it the
usual treatment in such cases, but with
out benefit. The child kept growing
thinner until it weighed but little more
than when born, or perhaps ten pounds.
I then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. Before one- bottle
of the 25 cent size had been used, a
. marked improvement was seen and its
i-eomtinued use cared the child. Its
weakness nnd puny constitution' disap
peared and its father and myself believe
the child's life was saved by this remedy.

There is only one way to cure Deafness,
-and that is by constitutional remedies.
Peafnese is caused by an inflamed con
dition of " the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, aud unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine ca68 out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in

Tragic Incident of the War Between the
United States and Mexico.
. A tragic incident of Scott's campaign
in Mexico was recently told by Gen.
McKinstry, a veteran of that war, to
a writer in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The occurrence, as thus graphically re
lated, has been g-lossed over or omitted
as of no importance by the historians
of that plorious march.
"At the battle of Churubusco," said
the general, "we captured a large num
ber of deserters from our service, who
were duly tried by court-martial and
sentenced to execution by hanging.
"The execution of one batch of these
miserable creatures by Gen. .Harney
was somewhat tragical. In a field near
the convent of Churubusco stood trees
with crotched tops, along which poles
were extended, on which hides were
dried by the Mexicans. On these ridge
poles some sixty or seventy deserters
were executed by hanging. Harney,
acting as provost marshal, had charge
of the execution. For this purpose an
adequate number of six-mule govern
ment teams were driven and stationed
under the ridge poles alternately, so
that the heads of one team stood next
to the tails of that adjoining it. The
tailboards of the wagons were turned
up and on each was placed a prisoner,
with a rope around his neck fastened
to the ridg'e poles. All this was done
and the necessary preparations for exe
cution made within sight of the castle
of Chepultepec, which at that moment
was being assaulted by our forces. The
oprerations cf the t roops as they ascend
ed the broken ccclivity toward the
heights, carrying the redoubts, and
clambering over recks, chasms and
ravines, under the hottest fire of car non
and musketry", were in full view of the
condemned. All were kept standing
on their scaffolds (the tailboards of the
army wagons) during the battle of Che
pulteiec (a long time to wait) over two
hours. Some of the prisoners were de
fiant and impudent, indulging in pro
fane and insolent language. Harney
said to them: 'Dont be impudent, you
rascals. As soon as you see the Mexi
can flag come down from Chepxiltapee
and our Hag go up you will go up, too.'
This was to be the signal pf their doom,
and when at length the American flag
was unfurled on the castle of 'Chepul
tepec a glorious and animating sight
to all but these men. a big drum at one
end of the scaffold boomed out, and
with a yell the drivers whipped tip
their mules, and, driving from under
the ridge poles, the miserable wretches
were left suspended by the neck, with
their legs dangling in the air."
BRAVE AND CUNNING.
How the Mink Steals Fish and Game from
Sportsmen Down East.
Probably the most cunning of all ani
mals is the : mink. Its propensity for
stealing is marvelous, and the methods
of stealing and hiding the proceeds of
its robberies are unique in the history
of the lower species. We do not refer
here to the depredations of the mink
among poultry, for they resort to hen
neries onlv when the waters arc frozen
tr a supply of fish is unobtainable,
says the Lewiston Journal. Two gen
tlemen were fishing on one of the rivers
of Maine. The fish were quite plenty,
and as soon as one was caught it was
thrown behind on the grass. After
some time one of the gentlemen thought
he would take a rest and at the same
time examine his. capture. But he could
not find a single fish. He charged his
friend with having played him a trick,
but the friend was as' surprised as he.
They now determined to watch their
next fish, and their astonishment was
unbounded when they saw a mink run
from a hole near by, snatch up a fish
and carry it off to the hole, where they
afterward found their entire capture
cunningly hidden under some dead
leaves.
In the same manner the mink steals
game which sportsmen shoot. On one
occasion a gentleman shot a wild ditck,
but before the dogs could get to it a
mink had stolen it, carried it off to a
hole in the frozen snow, which one
mink had prepared while the other was
watching for the opportunity to steal
the sportsman's game. Notwithstanding
this particular characteristic, the mink
is a brave as well as ferocious little fel
low, and he is excelled in these qualities
only by the ermine. He seems to have
a peculiar aversion for the muskrat,
and, though the muskrat is generally
more than double his size, the mink at
tacks him fearlessly, and always wins
the battle, 1 after which he drags his
dead enemy to some hiding place, as in
the cases of the fishes and wild duck.
They are found in almost every state
in the union, but most frequently in
Maine and in the states bordering the
great lakes. Mink skins are sold in
great numbers by Maine trappers, and
are sold for furs under various names.
In the Wild and Woolly West.
It happened in a saloon in a western
town. The usual crowd had congre
gated one evening, vhers..'.he propri
etor's most profitable customer, who
boasted of having been drunk in every
state in the union, offered to wager
that he could, blinded, tell the name of
any drink by tasting it. The offer
was taken, and a handkerchief being
tied over his eyes the trial began.
A half dozen different kinds of
booze-producing liquids were hand
ed him, and in each case he
promptly and correctly gave the name.
Finally a quantity- of water was
poured into a glass and handed to him,
but as he tasted this a puzzled look
came over his face. He thought a mo
ment, then tasted again; another mo
ment elapsed then he remarked: "Boys,
I guess I'm stuck. I remember of
drinking some of that stuff 'bout ten
years ago down in New Jersey, but I'll
be hanged if I can remember what they
called it. I'll give it up; I'm beat. I
know what it is, but I can't think."
Fish That Need Mo Water.
In Java and Borneo there are two
kinds of fish which inhabit the ponds
and small freshwater streams. When
the water disappears during the hot
season these fish burrow into the mud
and remain there in torpid condition
until the autumn rains begin.
