A I'ccutlnr Accident.
Dks Moines, April 22. The infant
daughter of John F. Buckley was aeci
dentally hanged here by her bonnet
strings catching on the limb of a tree.
The little girl, about o years old, had
been playing on tho porch but a few
minutes before the nceident. Her bon
net strings were tied twice about her
neck to keep the bonnet in position
moro securely. She slipped when climb
ing on a small cherry tree, and the
strings caught on a twig projecting not
more than an inch.
When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries a physician. Con
sumptives would never die if they could
regain their usual weight. In fact there
would be no consumption if there was
no wasting of the system. The causo of
this loss of flesh is a failure to properly
digest tho food eaten. Nine-tenths of
all of our diseases date back to some de
rangement of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. It acts
by causing the food we eat to be digest
ed so as to do good, for undigested food
does more harm than good. The Cor
dial contains food already digested and
is a digester ot foods as well.
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.
Volunteers for Greece.
London, April 22. A dispatch from
Marseilles says 200 Greek volunteera
sailed for Athens yesterday evening, ac
companied by 50 American Greeks.
The crews of Greek merchantmen every
where have been ordered home to join
their respective regiments.

? t:il Sky ColntniiH.
An explanation of a curious optical
phenomenal, sometimes witnessed on
fio.-.ty night.?, vhich is called the
"pseudo-aurora." hi offered by Mr.
('ou'lc. rl the Chicago university. The
phenomenon take:- the form of beauti
ful columns of silvery light ftandiiifr
over electric arc lr.mj.K- and other lri.?l:t
lights, and sometimes appearing aim-;1-1
to reach the zenith. Mr. Gcode i-a-,
that .sometimes the evening star has u
bright rtiaft below as well as nbo.c,
while the rising moon stands in a bron-1
column of light. These appearances
are due to floating frost crystal!- wh'ch
keep their reflecting faces horizontal.
On examination he found that the crys
tals concerned in the exhibition were
thin, six-sided plates of Ice, nevermore
than one millimeter in diameter.
When the wind blows these little plates
are upset, and the columns of light,
caused by reflection from their surfaces,
disappear. Science.
Lightning is destructive because of
its enormous power. A flash of light
ning has been calculated to equal
twelve thousand horse-power.
Two years ago R. J. Warren, a drug
gist at Pleasant Brook, N. Y., bought a
small supply of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. He sums up the result as fol
lows : "At that time the goods were un
known in this section ; to-day Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is a household
word.'' It is the same in hundreds of
communitiee. Where ever tho good
qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy become known the people will have
nothing else. For sale by Blakeley &
