B, YAJ DUSEM. Ageut. A NARROW ESCAPE. Tho Graphic Account of a Most Won derful Occurrence. t Kingston Correspondence Boston Globe. An event has taken place in this city so remarkable in its nature that I venture to describe it in full. The principal in the affair is Mr. Jere Smith, son of Mr. Cornelius B. Smith, of tho State Insurance Department at Albany, -who is well know, stands very high and is in every way reliable. I have had a long and most interest ing interview with him, which I tran scribed and send you in his own words, trusting it may prove valuable to your readers: "During last year," he said, "I could not understand what was the trouble with me. I had always felt strong and hearty, but I gradually became aware that something was undermining me. I first began to fepl drowsy and then in a day or two I would be unnaturally wide awake. Strange pains would come in different parts of my body. My head did not acne much but it usually felt heavy. I was sometimes hungry and sometimes I hated food, while my sleep was very irreg ular. I could not understand xvli of" if m ainf but thought it might pass away after a time: but it did picture of health, not. I don't see how I could have been so blind, but I suppose I was like most people who are troubled in the same way, and thought it nothing dangerous. After a while I noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing ; that they were dark at times and very light at others. Finally I began to gain flesh, but I knew it was unnatural and that I was bloating. This frightened me, and I consulted physicians, who were very kind in their attentions, but did not help me in the least. My father then went with me to New York, and we con sulted the eminent Dr. Keyes, who treated me for several weeks. At that time my condition was horrible. I was bloated from head to foot, it was almost impossible to breathe, and I could not sleep. In several places on my body the skin burst open, so great was tho pressure from within. The agony I endured was indescribable. Then "the doctor told me my case was hopeless, that I had Bright's disease in its worst form, and that I bad only a few days to live." " Fortunately I had a friend who accompanied mo and would not see me die without a strug gle. He did not urge, ne insisted on my making one more effort, and I did so. I noticed an im provement at once ; in lour days the swell ing greatly de creased and the pain whollv ceased. I con- picture op misery. tinued to improve, and am a well man to-day, and owe my life to the marvelous effects of that wonderful reparation, Hunt's Remedy. I be ieve this is the greatest medicine that was ever discovered by man, and I only wish4 the whole world might know what it has done for me." "I know there are thousands of people troubled, as I was and in just as great danger, but they do not real ize it. Bright's disease is the most deceptive, the most horrible malady the world has ever known. It has no settled symptoms, but assumes every imaginable form. I had no idea it was Bright's disease that was under mining me until I began to bloat, and now that I am well and enjoying life, I feel like telling everybody about my miraculous escape. Is it any wonder this town is aroused over my resur rection?" Such is the account of probably as narrow an escape from death as was" ever known. The first symptoms which Mr. Smith felt were such as many others feel but do not consider worth noticing. It is plain, however, that the early indications of a danger oub disease cannot be trifled with, but must be met promptly, and by such a remedy as has been pro 'en to be indeed a friend in time of need.

A little woman had lain sck for weeks in her home in one of the divisions of Chicago. The doctor had come in the morning and eve ning and felt her pulse, and left some medicine and gone away, for as many weeks as his patient had been in bed. Her husband had come in from his work at the close of each day and had prepared his meal, had carried something to the patient little sufferer, which she would taste in the daintiest way and then close her eyes. The nights dragged along as the little clock on the shelf went -galloping away, the hands passing the hour mark with an extra click as if to gain more strength for the next hour. The door-bell had been muffled, and even the children in the neighborhood passed the place on tiptoe and muffled their laugh ter and shouts till they reached the corner. It got to be such a routine that the neighbors called in a mechanical way. The tem perature was stationary, and the sunlight came through the window curtains in a feeble manner, as if it was weary of falling across the pillow where the little pale face was always the same. One day strange hands out of the wood lands about one of the suburban towns gathered some flowers. They found their way into the city and indirectly were sent to the sickroom. The breeze came in at the window with the sunshine and the two grot in amon" the flowers and carried the pei funic to the sick pillow. The eyes of the pa tient opened and a smite camp over the wan features, and then the pale lips moved and the hands were clasped. Somehow the wo man grew better and the home brighter, and in a few drtys she sat by the window and a little later she was on her feet and she and the bird in the cage sang together. It was only that some oihj had thought. Killing Eat3 by Strategy. "To attempt to catch rats by traps or by poisoning them sud denly will fail," said an old rat catcher recently to a reporter. "Old rats know too much and can be caught only by kindness. To destroy them give them a good meal every day. Do not put any poison in the food, but simply pre pare a dish for them daily, as a free lunch, composed of cornmeal moistened with milk, into which one egg with salt to season has been beaten. At first they may not touch it, but keep it before them making it fresh every day. They will soon try a little, and if not injurious their suspicions will be allayed. In a week or ten days they will expect it and every rat on the place will be at the ap pointed spot for the treat. Give plenty of it so as to induce all the rats in the neighborhood to join in. Do not be in a hurry to poi son them. If they eat all the foood give them a larger, portion next time. As soon as they have thrown off all suspicion get some phosphorus paste, or other rat poi son, mix it with the food, and be sure to give them enough and something to spare, so as to induce all to eat. They will either be killed or become so suspicious of all food that not a rat will remain." JVew York Mail and Express. Lost Both Legs. At three o'clock yesterday af ternoon Dr. Saylor received a tele gram from Bridal Veil falls, urg ing him to come there and attend a man who had broken both legs. He took the Atlantic express for the falls, arriving at 5 p. at. The name of the injured man is Will iam 'Westman, an employe of the Bridal Falls Lumbering company. The company get their logs awa up on the mountain, about GOO feet above the mill. The logs are slid down on skids by means of a long cable and donkey engine, and they come down very rapidly. Westman was sitting on a rock or bank about twenty-five or thirty feet from the skids, and a large log in its descent struck some thing and bounded off towards Westman, and before he could move out of the way struck him on both feet, mashing them into the earth. On examination it was found that Westman's left leg was brok- I ... r . ..!., ,!.... en in iour uuiuicui jiiatw, uuu pai tides of bone were sticking through the flesh. The right leg was brok en in three places and a gash cut across the ankle clear into the joint. Dr. Saylor found amputa tion in both cases necessary. The left leg was taken off about four inches below the knee and the right leg about six inches below. After the operation Westman was brought to this city on a night freight train and taken to the Good Samaritan hospital where at last accounts he was resting easy. He is 23 years of age, of good con stitution and it is believed he will pull through. Oi'cgonian, 21. The American ccnsul at Dres den, in his report to the secretar3T of state, says: "An important fac tor here is the labor of dogs. I have heard it estimated that women and dogs, harnessed to gether, do more hauling than the railroads and all other modes of conveyance of goods united. Hun dreds of small wagons can be seen every day on all the roads leading to and from Dresden, each having a dog for the 'near horse' har nessed, while the 'off horse' is a woman, with her left hand grasp ing the wagon tongue to give it direction, and the right hand passed through a loop in a rope which is attached to the axle, bind ing her shoulder. Thus har nessed, women and dog trudgo along together", pulling miraculous loads in all sort of weather." The report for the month of July of the state board of unmi- ur.ition shows that 10!) heads of families called at the rooms for in foi mation about Oregon. They represent about 570 persons. Ol this number fully 75 percent, have located in diflerent parts of the state. Daughter Mother, may I go to bathe?

Tu7-Jils It is said that the Indian name Chautauqua means "easy death." The Burlington Free 7Vi& always supposed it meant "talked to death." MURDERED BY PREJUDICE. Thousands of men die every day who might be saved. Prejudice has murdered many a man and woman. If it were believed that the sum of disease could be redueed by phys-ic much would be gained. Tlie night mare of death would not frighten us as it does. In our modern civiliza tion we ought reasonably to expect disease to settle upon us because we do so much to attract it; because we so often and so steadily expose our selves to it. At the same time we all ought to understand, as a part of our rudimentary education, that to save ourselves from the effects of such exposure some kind of fortifica tion should be built around our vital forces lest the enemy carry us, as it wore, by a sudden onslaught. For many years the unprejudiced have used Bhaxdretu's Pills in this way and they have proved a most effect ive wall against the approach of dis ease. Stop the daily murders we had almost said suicides by using these pills. They speak for them selves as they act. "When every thing else has failed Braxdreth's Pills have saved lives. They are to be had at every drug Btore.
