THE BELLINGER CURE.
Its Effects on Liquor, Morphine,
Opium and Cocaine.
William Cathbrrt Harding is now on his
way to an insane asylum.
His wif* is confined in the Home of the
inehrates.
The breaking up of this Inmily Is due to
the excessive use of cocaine and other
deadly drugs, as is the breaking up of
many oilier homes and the ruining of many
other persons.
There are fully 5000 people residing in
San Francisco and its environments who
are addicted to the use of cocaine, nior
pnine or opium, and sooner or later they
must go the way of the liardings, unless
some relief be afforded them which will
forever kill their yearning for these deadly
drugs. \ '■]•• , ,
There has recently bfien established !n
this city a medical institute, the purposes
o[ wi.icii «re to afford relief to drug tiendc
The Hellinger German Jlemedy Company,
with offices in rooms 51, 52 and 54, Dono
hoe bin lil inc. 1170 Market street, has a
positive and painless remedy for the cure
of morphine, cocaine, opium, liquor and
tobacco li tilts.
It begins to work uDon tho system ini
meil ati»ly :>fter the first dose is taken «ml
instantly kills nil desire for diugs. One

city, and r>f this number not cne wio ha<

ROT desire to resume the use of whatever
drug lie may have, been a victim of.
One young man took 9ix different treat,
men's for the morpnlne nablt without
having a cure effected. Then on the 10th
day ol July he entered this instituc. On
the Ist day of September he was dis
charged cured.
Although mentally and morally a wreck
when lie entered the Institute, in fix weeks
he was completely cured and made into a
new man.
This is only one example of what the
Belienger cure can dc Many others could
be given were it deemed necf'sarv. tuitthe
managers of the institute prefer that the
work done speak for itsell. They assert
positively that they c:in cure the worst
kind of a druc tiend within six weeks, and
invite persons inierev.ed to adopt any
meaus possible of verityitig this MSertian.
Of All the remedies known it has re
mained for the Belli'iger German Remedy
Company to place before tb« public the
only positive, safe and rainless one for
fuiiim, morphine and coc»!nn habits, and
its rales are so reasonable that it is within
the power of every one to wubject himself
to its treatment.

THE ELECTROPHONE.
A Syndicate Has Made Success of
It in Paris.
Pittsburc Dispatch.
When the idea of the "theaterphone"
was first mooted in Paris, its feasibility
was much questioned; but a Parisian syn
dicate took up the project with such en
ergy that the. city has now effective ser
vice which supples entertainment to a list
of subscribers numbering over 1500, and
the installation is connected with all the
principal theaters. London now seeks to
emulate Paris in this successful develop
ment, and an "electrophone' company has
been organized wiih a very ambition*' pro
gramme. The electrophone Is practically
trie telephone modified in such a
manner as to serve the putposn
of transmitting sound from public
buildings, such as concert halls, theaters,
churches and lecture-room?^ to certain cen
ters fur redistribution, thence to receiving
points by conductors radiating from the«e
centers of exchanges. Thus the public,
liy the payment of a small fee, can hear a
portion of the entertainment proceeding
at one or the other of the London theaters.
Specially constructed transmitters are
placed on the staee of the theater, jus: in
front ol the footllzht*, whence the sound
is conveyed over the wires of the local
telephone company to the electrophone
exchanges for redistribution to privato
subscriber! and to a system of automatic
boxes tit ed up ;n clubs, restaurants, rail
way station?, hotels and similar places of
public resort.
So that if a man is indisposed to co out
in search of amusement he can turn on the
electrophone service la his club or hotel or
even in his private house and have imme
diately at his command practically the
whole range of entertainment going on in
the city. In addition to connection with
theaters and oilier places of Amusement, it
is proposed to connect the system with
churches and the law courts. It is even
hoped that, it will be possible to obtain the
slim- prhrUen in the House of Commons,
and several* members of Parliament are
said to be Strongly In favorof the idea. A
commendable feature of the service will be
its connection with the principal .London
hospitals free of charge, so that it will be a
source of pleasure and comfort to thou
sands of sufferers who, during each year,
are treated in those admirable institutions
In addition to the sound service, the elec
uoohone company propose to attach nn
intelligence bureau to their central ex
change for the convenience of their sub
scribers, where commissions of any kind
will be carried out fora small fee.' Toe
bureau will be supplied with a stenogra
pher and typewriter and every requisite
lor saving lime and trouble. A subscriber
will be able to have commissions attended
to in any part of the city by simply tele
ephoning his wishes to the central ex
change. It is ardently to be hoped that
this ideal system will ber successful in its
entheiy.

SIBERIA'S SALT LAKE.
Evaporation Has Formed a Roof, Un

Geographical Magazine.
At the first view It was :i va*t snow plain,
Piirrouutied by fields of rtprains wlieai, says a
writer. Tha great salt l.ike at Obdorsk Is nine
miles wide and seventeen miles long, yet ex
cept in a few places It Is solidly roofed over
i with a deposit of salt, which is getting thicker
and thicker every year. Our guide, who Is an
i old man, said that lie could remember when
Ilia rait crystal* ln«1 lieKuu to form upon the

In 1873 the water beneath the gait crystal

River obi. This lowered the lake's surface
about line' lee', leaving that distance be«
i tween the water and the roof. Looking down
, through one or the oienincs made for the

boar. Our guide mil us one at a lime into the

A ROBBER'S DEN.
Boys Discover a Cave in Which
Thieves Had a Home.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
While some boys were fishing on the
Warrior River, fifteen miles from Louis
ville, la Windsor County, Miss., last
Friday, they discovered a mammoth
cave. The opening is from the river bank,
ai d is only about eight feet in circum
ference. The boys peered into t he strange
looKiMg crevice, ami one of them more ven
turesome than the others entered. He
si on mine out almost breathless with
ear. They spread the news in th« neigh
borhood, and a patty was organized to ex
plore. With fire torches they entered.
Tii e entrance was found to widen and fifty
feet from its mouth it had increased to
about 200 feet. The wnjls were of a soft
clay substance and were higli enoagh to
aiiiuit nl a man's walking erect. The pine
torches gavn a poor light, and theit black
siii'ike almost, blinded the explorers, and
they could remain inside but a few min
ute*.
The cave showed unmistakable si^ns of
having been many years ngo inhabited.
Buiiesof animals were scattered in shape
less confusion all over the Moor, while the
femoral bones of two humans were found
clogged with dirt There is no doubt but
there is another entrance to the strange
subterranean cellar, and a party of gentle
men is now booting for it. It is supposed
ihe entrance Irnm the river has recently
been made by the sloughing of the banks.
The supposition is that it was formerly
used by » gang of robbers, perhaps a pmt
of the Murrell uanc that operated in that
vicinity a naif conturv ago.
Why He Never Has No Luck.
is ..a to ii Herald.
Two women were discussing the ques
tion of tips to waiters in a cafe the other
day, one maintaining that tha wages of
waiters were pay enough ami wondrring
how mnch the men got in fees. Their
waiter, a very good-natured colored man,
stood by and the woman nil:
"I'm going to ask him." So she said to
him : I*2B .
"Say, John, how mucn do you men eet a
day in lees?"
The reply came at once:
".See that boy over there? Well he

The cable on Saturday brought the Intelli
gence tuat England had annexed the Solomon
Islauds. Tlie British have been liug>*rlng about
the Solomon Islands veiy parentally In late
year* and several times liave landed and chas
tised the inhabitants. In 1880 a number of
attacks ou visiting snips were made by the
uatives.captains and crews being wantonly mas
sacred. In 1886 trouble broke out once more.
A schooner wa 9 wrecked on the coast. The
savages boarded 1 lie ship and the cuptaln and
men were all killed, except one. lv 1889 a
flock <i( natives decoyed an Englishman named
Nelson and iluee boys to mi- of Uien villa"es
and then murdered them. The bodies of the
Victims were devoured by their murderers.
In fact, cannibalism is the proper tad on the
Solomon Islands, which have come to bo kuown
a» the headquarters of the cannibals. The
Solomon croup of islands Is the largest and as

BISON FOR ENGLISH PARKS.
British Land-Owners Are Trying to
Raise Them at Home.
St. Jamet Gazette.
It is, unfortunately, very questionable if
the experiment of keeping and breeding
the grand beasts in our English parks will
be attended with any success. The bison
on its native plains jg accustomed to great
bent in summer and extreme cold in win
ter. But, fur all that, the climate is a
constant one, and the change of the vari
ability, the fog and the damp of this coun
try will be great. Indeed, when we look
at the condition of the bison's European
relations, the nurochs, we may well doubt
if the eenus bison will Ions: remain an
inhabitant of the earth. It may be many
years before we quite lose it, for repre
sentatives will probably linger for a com
paratively lons p'Tiod preserved in purks,
just, as the am-tent wild iJ'itish cattle
linger now. Bet, as in tho caso of tba lat
ter, the want of fresh blood and the conse
quent close interbreeding will tell in time
and result In constantly diminishing fer
tility, until in the course of years the last
representative of the race will din and the
wnrld know them no more. We may
safely sny the extinction will not happen
in our own lime, or even in that of the
next few generations, but it is to be feared
that come it surely will.
