A Remarkable Cure of a Hore.
In the fall of 1883 I had a valuable horse
taken with the pinkeye, resulting in blood
poison. After nine months of doctoring with
all the remedies to be found ' in horse books, I
despaired of a cure. His right hind leg was as
large as a man s body, and had on it over forty
running sores. He was a most pitiable looking
object. At last I thought or hwifts specific,
and commenced to use it. I used fifteen bot
tles. In August last all symptomsof the disease
disappeared. There have Wen no signs of a
return, and the horse has done a mule's work
on my farm ever since.

THE MASAI.
A Curloa Tribe Whose Habitat Is ip Cen
tral Africa.
A more remarkable or unique race
does not exist ou the continent of Africa
indeed, I might safely say in the two
hemispheres. In their physique, man
ners, customs and religious beliefs they
are distinct alik"e from the true negroes
and from the Galla and Somali. They
are the most magnificent modelled
savages I have seen or read of. Beauti
fully proportioned, they are character
ized by the smooth and rounded outline
of the Apollo type, rarely showing the
knotty and brawny muscles' of the true
athlete. The women are very decently
dressed in bullock's hide. They wear,
by way of ornament, from twenty to
thirty pounds of thick iron wire coiled
round the limbs, arms, and neck, be
sides a great assortment of beads am!
iron chains. The men wear only a
small kid-skin' garment round the shoul
ders and breast, that being of somewhat
more ample 'dimensions among the
married men. The most remarkable
distinctions characterize the various
epochs in the life-history of the Masai.
The boys and girls up to a certain age
live with their parents, and feed upon
curdled milk, meat ami grain. At the
age of twelve with the girls, and from
twelve to fourteen years with the boys,
they are sent from the married men's
kraal to one in which there are only
young unmarried men ani women.
There they live until they are married.
At this stage the men are warriors, and
their sole occupation is cattle-lifting
abroad and amusing themselves at
home. The young women attend to
the cattle, bufld the huts, and perform
other necessary hou ehold duties. Both
sexes are on the strictest diet. Abso
lutely nothing but meat and milk passes
their lip. Spirits and beer, tobacco,
or vegetable food are alike eschewed.
So peculiar indeed are they in their
notions, that they will not even eat the
meat of any wild animal. Moreover,
the meat and milk are never taken
together. For several days the one
is their sole diet, to be followed by the
other after partaking of a powerful
purgative. On killing a bullock they
drink the blood raw, which doubt les-s
supplies them with the necessary salt-.
In eating meat they always retire to the
forest in small parties, accompanied by
a young woman. So pleasant does the
Masai warrior iind this life that he sel
dom marries until he has passed the
prime of life and begins to find his
strength decline. The great war-spear
and heavy buffalo-hide shield, the sword
and the knobkerry, are then laid aside.
For a month he dons the dress of an
unmarried woman, and then Lecomes
a staid and respectable member of
Masai society. He goes no more to
war, but devotes himself to the fearing
of a brood of young warriors. His diet
changes with his mode of life, and lie
may indulge in vegetable food, drink
beer or spirits, and smoke or chew
tobacco. At death the body is simply
thrown out to the hyenas and the vul
tures. From a Lecture by Joseph
Thomson.
ABOUT BILIOUSNESS.
Some Hints VVhlrh May Interest Those
Who Are Unhappy About Thetr Clver.
It has been estimated that live per
sons go to the physicians of this city ev
ery minute in the day complaining of
biliousness. By this reckoning it will
apjear that there is here a small army
of sufferers from this complaint, there
fore it may be profitable to consider
briefly the causes and cure of this ap
parently common trouble.
Liver disorders ought naturally to be
at the foundation of all biliary derange
ments, and as organic diseases of this
organ are essentially chronic and often
progress steadily from bad to worse, it
is plain that only a small proportion of
bilious persons are so affected, for the
reason that this class of patients very
usually get well. This refers mainly to
male patients. Women never get well
from liver troubles. At all events, if a
woman is once told by the doctor that
her liver is affected, "she will believe
him and persistently suffer therefrom
until another doctor comes along, who
declares point blank, and perhaps truth
fully, that nothing ails that organ.
The furred tongue, loss of appetite
and "wish I were dead" feeling of tlio-e
who think they are bilious are well
known, and to make a long story short
the best way to explain these matters is
to attribute them to a derangement of
the circulation of t'se blood affecting ev
ery organ in the body, including the
liver.
This much is probable because meas
ures calculated to re-etablish the circu
lation are of great service to these quasi
invalids. By this is meant brief absti
nence from food; general baths, followed
by friction of the surface of the body:
the use, if indicate !, of laxative articles
of food; occasional draughts of hot wa
ter, sweetened and flavored, if desired,
and regularly wah:ng the mouth on
rising with hot salt wai.tr, using the
;n;iex finger in preference to a brush.
Abstinence is iiseful in many cases,
because 'indigestion is the real trouble.
Baths, followed by frictions, are very
grateful to the disturbed , c'rculatory
apparatus. Laxative articles of food
are often agreeable and are preferable
to medicine when they will effect the
same end. Hot draughts are now popu
lar. They can do no harm and will
certainly do good in the cases prone to
chill.
Washing the mouth is of great servic ;
to those who . suffer 'persistently with a
coated tongue and ugly taste in the
mouth. Change of air, scene and diet
are also valuable measures for tho e who
are said to be bilious, and in these days
of cheap and convenient railroading are
easily applied. Philadelphia I'iines.

THE AWFUL TORPEDO.
What theXaval Engagement of the Future
May Be Description of a Battle Between
au Iron-Clad, and a Tropedo Boat An
Uncertain Fight of One Against a Hun
dred.
The role of the torpedo-boat is ter
rible; and those who direct its move
ments are exposed to the greatest
dangers. A single heave shot may
shatter it to atoms, and when it ap
proaches the enemy a hail of balls from
the mitrailleuses and rifles will do ter
rible execution on board. Therefore the
mere fact of embarking on a torpedo
boat is a guarantee of bravery. Figure
to yourself the situation of the officer in
command of such a torpedo-boat who is
ordered to sink a ship of the enemy's
squadron. All his surroundings consti
tute one vast danger. The yery sea that
hides and protects him during the first
part of his expedition may in another
moment toss his . corpse hither and
thither upon its waves, His adversary
will seek to riddle the boat with a ram
of steel, cast-iron and lead. The tor
pedo itself, which carries ich terror
with it, might be touched with a missile
and explode, bursting the torpedo-boat
into atoms.
The combat commences. Ine ves
sels of the fleet have opened fire. Shells
rain in all directions. Une oi our
cruisers, cannonaded heavily on the
starboard side by a fort mounting twelve
Krupp cannon, is simultaneously at
tacked on the larboard side by one of
the enemy's iron-clads. She has al
ready sutiered severely, and her posi
tion becomes critical. A mast-signal
from the Admiral's ship is given; and a
torpedo-boat starts, lhe watchful en
emy has observed the signal. He knows
the danger, and at once concentrates
all his tire upon the little gray speck
which is shooting rapidly towards him
Three miles separate them; and the tor
pedo-boat must make that three miles
. . r -. a lie
in ten minutes, xi it is not- suns, ueiore
it has traveled that distance, the iron
clad is lost. Therefore, the cannoniers
point their guns with the most scrupu
lous care. -he first shells pass wide of
the mark; but, the aim is rectified, and
soon the shells fall so near the torpedo-
boat that they throw the water over it.
Now one has fallen right at its prow. A
gevser jet of water thirty feet high con
ceals the torpedo-boat; the enemy be
lieves it has been sunk, and utter a tre
mendous cheer, j But the projectile has
only ricochetted and passed over it.
The water falls back in rain, and the
brave little vessel reappears all stream
ing with brine, as though it had
emerged from the sea-deeps, and rush
ing on at full steam in the face of death.
There are only nine men on the little
vessel, and they are going to attack a
sort of leviathan carrying an immense
crew. It is not the tight of one against
ten, but of one against a hundred.
Not a single word is uttered beyond
the necessary orders. Those men whom
death already touches with his fingers
are silent and grave. And do not sup
pose for a moment that they do not
think of the danger. On the contrary,
they think of not hing else. But it is not
of their own danger they are thinking,
but of the danger of failure. It is not
a question of their lives, but of the suc
cess of the enterprise. It is essential
that the torpedo boat shall reach the
eneniys flank and rescue our cruiser.
After that, if the torpedo-boat sinks, so
much the worse.
Everv nerve is strained, every eye is
directed toward the object in view.
Now the boat is only five hundred yards
away from the ironclad. The fire of
the mitrailleuses mingles with the
showers of shells and sweeps the deck;
everything wooden is splintered to atoms
with gra; eshot. An incersant fire of
repcatir g rifles from the mast-tops of
the ironclad plays over the torpedo
boat; and the balls, entering through
the few openings in the decks, have
already disabled three men. They lie
in a corner to which they were able to
drag themselves, for there is no time
now to attend to them. They may be
thought of in two minutes more after
the fate of all shall have been decided.
The torpedo-boat has almost reached
its enemy. The success of the expedi
tion is now assured, for the shell batter
ies are powerless to harm tho torpedo
boat at such short range. The rifle
fire, terrible as it is, cannot sink her.
It can only kill some of her crew; but
that is of no great consequence! Now
is the time when the Captain needs all
his surety of eye and coolness of will,
now is the time when his men must ex
ecute orders with the rapidity of light
ning, for if the torpedo be fired a sec
ond too soon it will fail to do its terrible
duty, and yet if there be a delay of
a moment tho torpedo-boat must
dash itself to pieces against the sides of
its mighty adversary.
Now the boat seems almost ready to
touch the enemy's vessel. Hand-grenades
flung upon her deck rebound and
burst; one man is killed; the Captain
has received a terrible wound in the
face; but, summoning all his strength,
he supports himself erect against the
iron wall by a sublime effort of will.
Livid, drenched with blood, but terrible
in his calm resolve and bravery, he
keeps his eye still upon the enemy.
"Ready! Let her go!"
The awful missile is launched. An
enormous surge appears in the water.
and a ingntiui, crackling noise is
heard, followed by a terrible cry of dis
tress. The pigmy has conquered the
giant.
"Hard a starboard!"
And the little vessel, suddenly wheel
ing around, steams away at full speed
while the enemys iron-clad sinks to the
bottom.
Terl minutes afterward the torpedo
boat has returned to its post beside the
Admiral's vessel the Admiral sends
for the Captain in order to congratulate
him. I? is carried to him upon a bier.
.lueanwnue tne ngnc goes on. A new
expedition may prove necessary. A
provisory Captain is at once appointed.
and four men to complete the decimated
crew; and the torpedo-boat is ready to
fulfill another mission; it has another
band of heroes to direct it. Paris Fi

goo. William's Indian Pile Ointment absorbs the tu
mors, allays the intense itching (particularly at night
after getting warm in bed), acts as a poultice, gives in
stant relief, and is prepared only for Piles, itching of
the private parts, ana for nothing else.

says about Dr. William's Indian Pile Ointment: "I have
used scores of Pile Cures, and it affords me pleasure to
say that I have never found anything which gt.ve such
immediate and permanent relief as Dr. William's In
dian Ointment." For sale by all druggists and mailed

In the past thirty years the average
of man's life has improved 5 per cent.
from 41.9 to 43.1) years; and of woman's
life 8 per cent. from 41.9 to 45.2. Of
every thousand males born at the pres
ent day, twenty-four more will attain
the age of 3) than used to be the ce pre
vious to 1871, and every thousand per
sons born since 1870 will live 2,7(M
years longer that before. This is due
to civilization, and especially to im
proved sanitary methods, which are
adding to the average of human life a)
the rate of nearly ten j-ears in every
century. Chicago Journal.
