Sport In India. Though now, perhaps, fresh and snore prolific fields have been opened ap to the hunter of big game, India remains the premier country for the sportsman generally. Nowhere else la such an Immense variety of enter? tainment to be had. for wide indeed sa the field offered to the sportsman who "has to spend.some time in In? dia's sunny clime." If his Inclination la toward horses, he has ample op? portunities for polo, racing, plg-stlck Ing. and hunting; If he prefers life in th.? Jungle, there are tigers, bison, and other large beasts of the chase to be pursued, while the less ambi? tious gunner can content himself with the quest of innumerable small game, which comprises some of the best snipe and duck shooting In the world, Snould he be not only a aunter, but a climber, he may crawl on the roof of the world and pursue the Ibex over the snowy slopes of the Himalayas. Where the range Is so wide It Is difficult to award the palmf but the sport of the East Is generally ac knowledged to be plg-stlcklng. Beat? ers assisted by elephants are usually employed to find the qusrry. the hunters being mounted and armed with spears. In some parts a Ion* spear of about seven feet Is used, like a lance. Elsewhere a shorter Jab? bing weapon Is used, which is grasp? ed near the loaded butt end (weight? ed with lead) and held pointing downward. The boar Im. without doubt, the most courageous of all animals. Moreover, he is possessed of one of the worst tempers, and has most af? fective weapon* with which to vent ft upon his foes in the shape of sharp, curved tushes. He stands about two feet six Inches or more at the withers and in snlte of his fcreat weight is extraordinarily quick. For about a salle he is too fast for any horse over the rough ground he is generally found upon. His weight carries him crashing through small obstacles, while he can. and will, Jump the larg? er ones. He never loses his head, no matter bow hard he Is being hustled along?a trait which no 'other beast of the chase can boast?and never forgets to put all and every kind of obstacle between himself and his pur? suers. When at last overtaken he will turn on his foes, charging with sud? den and extraordinary rapidity, al? though perhaps wounded, again and again, flally taking refuge beneath some overhanging ihorn trees or oth? er plsce ?vhere he cannot be reached on horseback, to stand at bay. Then st becomes necessary to attack him on foot?a very dangerous proceed tag. At least two sportsmen must go In together, for he will probably charge once more, and his weight 4ev**n If the spear goes Into him) will throw a single man over.?Wide World Magaxtne. ?There Is more Catarrh In this sec? tion of the country than all other dis? eases pus together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur? able.

SIEBERTS DRUQ STORE. KING EDWARD'S ORDERS. The Origin. Romance ami Etiquette of the Various Decorations Worn by Ills Majesty. When King Edward goes abroad amongst his subjects on occasions of ceremony, the least observant eye will note some details of the Insignia he wears. Everyone is aware that the emblems of an order of knighthood are not restricted to one portion of the royal person; they may be worn on the right or left shoulder, across the hoaom, on the left breast, around the neck, or suspended at the hip. It Is probable that the broad blue ribbon of the Garter Is familiar to all. but that it is equally possible to wear the badge of the Garter round the neck, on the left shoulder, on the breast or encircling the left leg may not be generally known. It has been said that the desire to possess honorary distinction hat shown itself In various shapes from very remote times, and to be able to wear them on the person as ovldene?1 of some particular qualification in the individual has been an object of hn man ambition almost from time Im? memorial. The sovereign, naturally leads the way; he is the first man in the state; he is himself the fountain of honor. But with the accumula? tion Ht honorable decorations at all the courts of Europe, it grew impos? sible for one individual to wear all the chains, ribbons, medals and proaa< es of which King Edward is the recipient. Consequently, a selection only can be worn, and this selection is governed by His Majesty's predi? lections and the nature of the occa? sion. Thus, at a purely British func? tion, the display of the insignia of British orders and of British decora? tions is naturally the rule. But first of all let us see what the insignia of an order generally consist of. In the case of the order of great? est distinction, the Garter, they con? sist first of a habit, collar, badge, star and the garter. In what is called a full chapter of the order, of the com? plete habit and Insignia His Majesty would wear a collar, from which is suspended the "George" (a gold and enameled representation of the St. George and the Dragon), together with the star (worn on the lefl breast). This full chapter of the habit is worn only on certain days, known as "collar days." On ordinary occasions?a levee or a cour* ? Hi> Majesty wears the ribbon over the left shoulder, from which is suspend ed the lesser George (an oval badge, with a representation of St. George and the Dragon), together with the star. The garter, which is worn only with breeches and bears the motto of the order?"Honi soit qui mal y pens."?Is worn below the knee on the left leg. The badge/i have grown so numer? ous It has been found necessary to fasten the small ones Issued to Com? panions of any order In a closely packed row upon the left breast. By this* means It Is possible for His Ma? jesty to wear a great many orders and decorations. For, in adidtion to a row of, say, nine on the breast, he can carry four stars below, a ribbon suspending a badge across his breast? another around his neck, another fastened to his right shoulder, and another to his left, making in all IT decorations which King Edward VI! can wear at once, Whereas King E I? ward VI could only have worn three or four.?Strand Magazine. Short-sightedness Has Its Compensa? tion^. "Though the short-sighted person frequently beholds his fellow crea? tures anatomically deficient." sayi Constance Clyde In the September Strand, "he has his compensations. Color to him Is a little softer and more beautiful than it is to the aver? age Individual. Fortunately, it is also quite as Y'slble, As a consequence, color without, evidently, any sub? stance to support it, is a frequent phenomenon of the myopic world. "Though he sees the world so dis tlnctly, however, he yet beholds It sometimes as a more beautiful sphere than that which you, the normal sighted, inhabit. The human face, when he can see It at all is a softer face than that which is visible to you.

One of our Manning tourists while at Saluda was so interested in a youns ladles' conversational powers that he evaporized and mysteriously disap? peared, and when at last found he was covered head and ears in bed. We notice a dispatch in Sunday's papers that kissing has been barred in Atlanta, this must account for a re? cent exodus from that city, and the increase in our visiting population, with the promise of a long stay. Now what do you think of this? A Manning marriageable, took a moun? tain walk with a young lady. When the couple returned to the hashery where they were boarding, it was no? ticed one of the lady's sleeves was very much yellow-stained, it was called to her attention that her sleeve and waist was covered with clay, but she inno? cently remarked, "no such thing, it is nicotine from the Captain s lingers." MOKE POWER FROM STEAM, Combination of Kc.'iprocatliig En? gines and Turbines. Washington, Aug. 21.?Accompany? ing the bids of the new 2G.000-ton battleships Arkansas and Wyoming are novel engineering devices looking to Increase of economy at all speeds, and especially at low speed, where the turbines hitherto have not be* n economical. The Navy Department formulated one plan, which was sub? mitted to the contractors with the specifications. The contractors have another series of plans for machinery. The Bureau of Steam Engineering proposes to have in each engine room a reciprocating engine on one shaft and a Parsons turbine on another. The steam from the engine will go through the turbine before it reaches the engine. By the combination of turbine and reciprocating engine, to? gether with a very high vacuum in the condenser, more work is got out of the steam and hence greater econ? omy is obtained at all speeds. This device has not yet been used on any vessel in the United States Xavy, but it has been tested on Brit? ish naval vessels and found satisfac? tory. It is also in use on the passen? ger ship Laurentio, plying from Mon treal to Liverpool, and several other vessels. In each instance there has been a saving in steam consumption. The Fore River Company submit? ted eight different types of machinery for its proposed vessels. One of these schemes is to have a turbine driving a dynamo, one shaft and an electric motor, and a steam turbine on an? other shaft. The electricity will do the actual turning of the shaft, the engines generating the electricity. This plan has not yet been tried on any vessel, but has been tested by the company at Its works on shore. The mpany's experts promise great thlngt for the plan. it Is claimed for Morris E.

I tried prescriptions and liniment and took several other remedies but did not receive relief. My kidneys were very weak and the secretions contain? ed a- dark sediment and were irregu? lar in passage. I could not rest well and if I attempted to lift, sharp pains caught me through my loins.
