HOME MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY
PREPARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and
Overcome Kidney Trouble and Blad
der Weakness Though Harmless
and Pleasant to Take.
What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that he
has found a positive remedy to oure
almost any case of backache or kidney
or blp.dder derangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Bright'a disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sareaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixtuie would be put up if asked to do
so. He further stated that while this
prescription is often pres.-ribeti in rheu
matic afflictions with splendid results
be could see no reason hy it would
not be a splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache, as
it has a peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most im
portant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it a trial.

' As large and as powerful, as is the
Lusitaula, the big liner's memorable
trip across the Atlantic did not create
half so much Interest as did the voyage
of the little American steamship, the
Savannah, which was the first steam
vessel to bridge the great ocean! The
Savannah's trip was made in the year
1810, and was only intended as an ex
periment, as she did not carry a passen
ger or a pound of freight. ' From n
financial viewpoint the trln was a fail
ure, for, while there were several offers
to purchase the new steam vessel, none
of them regarded as acceptable.
lhe .Savannahs trln Is historic and
was accomplished at great risk. So
fearful were mariners generally of the
fate of the experiment that the com
mander fojind ir impossible to obtain
sailors In New York, and was obliged
to seek them in Xew London, Conn., the
nome or the sailing master,.. Stevens
Rogers, who was well known to. the sea
faring men at that .port.
Mueh of the data regarding the Sa
vannah has been lost, but it. is certain
that she was a full-rigged ship,, with
auxiliary steam power, and of 350 tons.
Originally Intended as a sailing packet
between ,Ney York and Havre. Whila
she lay on the stocks at the shipyard
at Corlear's Hook, New York, she at
tracted the attention of Captain Moses
Rogers, who had been associated with
Fulton and Stevens In commanding sev
eral of the early . steamboats. He in
duced a wealthy shipping firm in Sa
vannah to purchase the vessel and fit
her with steam engines, with a view to
giving that city the credit of being, the
first to inaugurate a transatlantic
steamship ilne.

THE GIANT CUNARDEK LUSITANIA.
gine was built by Stephen Vail, after
ward connected with Morse in- the in
vention of the telegraph at the Speed
well iron works, near Morr'stown, N.
J. The boilers were built at Elizabeth
by Daniel Dod. A peculiarity of the
equipment was that the paddle wheels,
which consisted of eight radial arms
held In place by one flange and ar
ranged to close together like a fan,
were so constructed that they could be
nnshlDoed and taken on board if" the
weather proved to be very heavy. In
those days such contrivances were only
regarded as fair weather adjuncts and
not to be Intrusted to the buffetings of
a rough sea. The vessel was designed
to carry 75 tons of coal and 25 cords
t wood. It cost $50,000.
An account of the Savannah, pub
lished after the trial trip between New
York and Savannah, says "her cabin Is
finished in elegant style and Is fitted
np In the most tasty manner. There
are 32 berths, all of which are state
rooms. The cabin for ladies Is entirely
distinct from that Intended lor gentle
men, and Is admirably calculated to
afford that retirement which is so rare
ly found on board of passenger ships."
Captain and Salllnu Haater.
The captain was Moses Rogers, and
the sallng master was his brother-in-law.
Stevens Rogers, who was not re
lated to him by ties of blood, although
their surnames were the Bame, Captain
Boger. native of Connecticut, who
tE Atlanta
was responsible for the experiment,
commauded the Phoeulx built for John
Stevens and his son, Robert Livingston
Stevens, In 1808. lie took tnc little
I'boenlx on her memorable voyage from
Sandy Hook to Cupe May, the first time
a steam vessel had braved the dangers
of the ocean. He also commanded the
Ragle in 1813," when that vessel made
her first voyage from New York to Bal
timore, and he was associated with the
owners of the New Jersey, when regu
lar bi-weekly voyages were inaugurated
between those ports. Captain Rogers
was regarded as a person whose opin
ions on the subject of steam navigation
were Important and valuable, ?wl. he
frequently was consulted. by steamboat
owners and constructors.
The first long voyage of the Savan
nah was from New York to Savannah.
The trip occupied 8 days' 15" hours, and
during that f line the engine' had been
worked 41 hours. The vessel left New
York, at 10 o'clock on the morning of
March 28, 181 fli, and arrived at her des
tinatlou on April 0,.at 4 o'clock In the
morning. Arrived at the southern port
the ship attracted a great deal of at
tention, for It was known that she was
to try . for the record across the At
lantic. The revenue cutter Dallas sa
luted the ship as she entered the har
bor, and the bahkA.of the river was
lined with patriotic citizens, whose en
thusiasm found relief in shouts of ap
proval. Seta Out for Liverpool. '
After showing her paces to the citi
zens of Savannah, on the morning of
Saturday, May 22, 1819, the Savannah
set sail for Liverpool. The log of this
historic trip is still to be seen In the
National . Museum at Washington,
where there are several other relics' of
the daring Captain Rogers. When the
ship was off the coast of Ireland, a
British cutter, the Kite, noticed her,
and seeing the smoke belching from her
funnel believed the strange craft was
worn
afire. When the cutter, after sending
several shots across her bows brought
her to, the British commander was
much chagrined to find his mistake, and
ordered the captain to take down the
pennant he was flying, but Captain Rog
ers answered that he would do nothing
of the kind, as he was entitled to fly
the colors.
While he was oft the Irish coast,
Captain Rogers had another experience
which sorely tried his pride. He found
when about fifteen miles from Cork
that he uaa run out of coal. He was
In a calm, but was unable to get up
steam, and while he had hoped to steam
Into Liverpool, he was compelled to
enttr like any other sailing ship. On
the voyage, which ended on June 20, at
6 o'clock in the evening, he came to an
chor In the River Mersey, in front of
Liverpool. The voyage had lasted 29
days 11 hours, during which steam had
been used 80 hours.
Cruised In European Water.
Although the Savannah did not en
ter Liverpool under steam, she shipped
coal as soon as possible and gave the
people at that port a sample of her
work under engine power. Richard
Rush, the American minister, sent a
dispatch to the State Department, not
ing the arrival of the ship. In this
note he refers to the vessel as being
the first of her description "that has
ever crossed the seas, and having ex
cited equal admiration and aatonlah-
uirm as aue eutered the port under the
power of her steam." Others at the
time make note that she entered under
her steum, but the log shows that this
was not the case.
For several months the Savannah
cruised in Kurojwau waters. From Liv
erpool she went to St. Petersburg, hav
ing made a stop at Stockholm, where
the Swedish royal family visited the
ship and praised the captain's daring
and enterprise. While the vessel lay
t Stockholm, Captain Rogers was sev
eral times lu negotiation for the sale
of his craft to the Swedish or Russian
governments, but the terms were not
satisfactory.
A Triumphal Return.
The return voyage wus begun at
Cronstadt ou Sept, 29. Stops were
made at Copenhagen and at Arendal,
Norway. The latter place was the hist
port ou the homeward journey. The
Savannah left there on Oct. 21. Forty
days later she steamed into the harbor
of Savauuah, after an absence of six
months and eight days. It was a tri
umphal return; the Atlantic had been
crossed and recrossed by a steam ves
sel, but the projectors had nothing to
show for their outlay. They tried to
sell the vessel to the United States gov
ernment, but failing, they removed the
engines, which were sold separately to
an iron company in New York, and the
ship placed ou a packet Hue which ran
between New York aud Savannah. In
1S22 slie ran ashore ou Long Island
and became a total loss.
Eight years elapsed after the remark
able voyage of the Savannah before an
attempt to cross the Atlantic by a
steam vessel was again made. In 182S
the ship Curaeoa crossed from Antwerp
to the Dutch West Indies, and while
the voyage was regarded as successful,
it was found to be unprofitable. In 1831
the Royal William, built at Quebec,
safely crossed the Atlantic from Mon
treal to London, and there was sold to
the Spanish government to become th
first steam warship in the world. '
The LnxltRnln'a Flrat Trip.
It was a thrilling sight on the banks
of the Mersey when the giant Cunarder
Lusltanla swung out into the stream at
Liverpool and began the journey over
the Atlantic which was watched keenly
by more people than ever gave concern
to a nautical event before. England

CHILD SUICIDES.
Not Numerous Here, But In France
They Are a Serloua Problem,
Hugo IiOeb, a boy of 1G, recently
committed suicide In New York. A sui-
' twpnt-v chll(1 ""dues, but then there
were only 2,752 In nil. M. Pronl points
out that these figures do not give nil
the youthful deaths from suicide be
cause not all of them became known.
America has a better record. While
Franco and parts of Germany and
Switzreland nnd Spnin have enough
. foreign blrtn.
Suicides nre more frequent among
city than among country children, M.
Pronl snys. City children live under n
' greater strain, they linve less chnnce
for healthful play, they nre more fa
millnrized with acts of violence, and,
as a rule, they are under more pressure
at. school. M. Proal points out the
wrong nnd the foolishness of rigorous
examinations, some of which are
enough to make a healthy child nerv
ous, and a nervous child a wreck.
Disputes among parents are another
cause of child suicide, and poverty Is
another. But disgust with life In old
or young ls almost always the sign of
a sickly temperament, M. Proal says,
and If a child has been so unfortunate
as to inherit such a temperament, the
parents should try to make the child
healthy, and only good food and exer
cise and quiet and plenty of sleep will
do that.
"M. Proal's book has a message for
us," remarked a New York woman,
who has been an educator for many
years. "'There are few child suicides
In the Unllcd States, for ours Is not
the Gallic temperament, but there is
plenty of child nnhapplness. The un
happlness of a child ls tragic, the more
so because the common delusion Is that
childhood means happiness. Children
can suffer, but they can seldom explain
their sufferings.
"A child's sorrow may not last long,
but it may be bitter while It lasts. I
think. It was George Eliot who said
that a child's grief may be worse than
a grown person's while It endures, be
cause the child has no background of
experience, he cannot look back and
say: 'Other troubles have passed, and
this will pass.'
"Few people comprehend what mis
ery a sensitive child may suffer from
a quarrel between Its parents. The
whole foundations of Its world are

HOUSEHOLD REFUSE IN VIENNA
How It la Collected nnd Dlapoaed of
In Auatrlan Capital.
The Vienna correspondent of the
r.niw-nf ilivilu ivlfl. flw. it a i l
collection nnd disposal of household
refuse in thnt city in a recent number.
' The question of dealing with the
household refuse produced in a city of
2,0)0,CflO inhabitants lias for some
time, ho says, been engaging nttention
and I lie following results have been ob
tained from the experiments conducted
by the municipal authorities. As re
gards the disposal of" the dry material
collected in the dust bins, the method
giving lli best result has been com
bustion. The refuse ls collected by carts pro
vided with npecial receptacles. All the
dust bins are covered square boves of
a uniform shape and size, about 75
centimeters louK, 50 centimeters high
and !; centimeters wide. These boxes
are pmhed Into the receptacle of the
car, which is then closed by a Hd and
the lx).v Is uncovered and emptied by
turnliij; a handle without nny dust es
caping into the street The refuse is
then conveyed to the "coinbustorius,"
where It Is burned, except such por
tions as can lie used otherwise.
.Old metal, tinware and glass ara
melted down in a special apparatus
and used for Industrial purposes, while
the combmtlble material is used to
generate steam for driving two dyna
mos for lighting the building. As yet
these trlnls have been conducted on a
small scale, but if the system ls nj
proved of and refuse collected from the
whole city Is treated In this way the
amount of energy, obtained will be
very considerable.
The treatment of wet refuse, espe
cially of an organic nature, has not
hitherto yielded satisfactory results,
and another series of experiments with
this material has been Instituted In ihe
hope of using it as manure. The cost
of refuse disposal on the system de
scribed Is very small and the process
Is even expected to be profitable for
the municipality, if conducted on a
larger s'ale, while It ls undoubtedly
the best way from the standpoint of
hygiene nnd medicine. In particular,
the method of collecting refuse -without
scattering dust ls sure to be Imi
tated by many corporations, while a
fruitful source of contamination of the
air, especially during the busiest hours'
of the day, ls thus easily done away
with.
