CRUCIBLE.
About twenty years ago I discovered o little
ore on my cheek, and the doctors pronounced
it cancer. X have tried a number of physicians,
bat without receiving any permanent benefit.
Among the number were one or two specialists.
The medicine they applied was like fire to the
sore, causing intense pain. X saw a statement
In the papers telling what S. 8. S. had done for
others similarly afflicted. I procured some at
once. Before I had used the second bottle the
neighbors could notice that my cancer was
healing upv My general health had been bad
for two or three years I had a hacking cough
and spit blood continually. I had a severe
pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of
8- S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter
than I had been for several years. My cancer
has healed over all but a little spot about the
sl of a half dime, and it Is rapidly disappear
ing, i Woald advise every one with cancer to
give S. 8. 8. a fair trial.

THE LITEST PENSION BILL.
The sweeping pension bill which passed
both houses of congress last week and is now
before the President for signature is exciting
a great deal of discussion, yet none too much.
It provides that all persons who served three
months or more in the military or naval ser
vice of the United States in any war in which
the United States has been engaged, and who
have been honorably discharged therefrom,
and who are now or may hereafter be suffer
ing from mental or physical disability, not
the result of their own vicious habits or gross
carelessness, which incapacitates them for
the performance of labor in such a degree as
to render them nnable to earn a support,
and who are dependent upon
their own labor for support,
shall, npon making due proof of the fact ac
cording to such rules and regulations as the
secretary of the interior may provide, be
placed npon the list of invalid pensioners of
the United States and be entitled to receive,
for such total inability to procure their Sub
sistence, $12 a month; and such pension
shall commence from the date of the filing
of the application in the -pension office, upon
proof that the disability then existed, and
continue during the existence of the same.
This is a very generous measure. This
country had already done better by its dis"
abled defenders than any other country.
Every worthy soldier who was entitled to re
lief was provided for by previous acts. It is
hardly too much to say of this measure, as
the Springfield Republican does, that osten
sibly it is a patriotic measure, but practically
it is a long step toward the grand commun
istic principle that the State owes every man
a living and is bound to provide it for him.
The Republican indicates how" it will work,
a3 follows: The new bill extends the help of
the State to those who incurred no disability
whatever in the service, but who from the
natural advance of life, or from accident, or
from common causes, such as catching cold
or malaria, or from sheer laziness, are be
hindhand with life. The provision against
vicious habits or carelessness will practically
amount to nothing, for how is it to be proved
that any individual is disabled from work by
reason of drinking or reckless exposure alone?
How is it to be proved that a man can "earn
a support" if he declares that he cannot?
Plainly the burden is on the government.
Where the pension business, is to end no

High license continues to grow in favor
"out West." The high-license bill intro
duced in the Indiana legislature provides for
a license of $300 a year for a country saloon
and $600 for a town or city saloon. One-half
of the county or "country" license goes into
the school fund; the other half is retained for
county purposes. In the city and town
lioenses permission is granted for a further
raise of $200. This would make it possible
to tax saloons in Indianapolis $800 a year.
A writer in a Canadian paper, speaking of
the possibilities of pulp as a substitute for
lumber in the manufacture of furniture and
oth' r articles now exclusively made of wood,
palls attention to the resources afforded by
northern Canada for the best pulp-making
woods. It is found that in some localities
the forests are now at the best age for pulp
ing purposes, and capable of yielding from
forty to one hundred and twenty cords per
acre, if the whole of the timber were utilized.
By mixing the pulp with clays, atealite, as
bestos, plumbago, mica, &o. , substanoes of
every color and compactness may be pro

The Electrical Review has information re
garding a wind motor, designed for use with
an electric-lighting plant, which has novel
features. The power of the motor in the or
dinary breeze is said to be about equal to
that of an ordinary windmill presenting the
same surface to the wind. As the wind in
creases in force the speed and power of the
motor increase in proportion, without any
check, except by the work it performs; but
the machinery driven by the motor runs at
one uniform speed, however much the motor
may vary in speed. The idea af the inventor
was to make a motor that would drive a
dynamo to charge accumulators, and do its
work automatically, without requiring the
presence of an attendant. The. motor is left
freo to start whenever there is sufficient
wind to drive it,and when it attains sufficient
speed to drive the dynamo safely, the dyna-
. mo is started automatically, and not before,
When started, the dynamo will run at one
uniform speed under any increase in the pres
sure of wind, and consequent increase in the
speed of the motor; but when the wind de
creases in force, so that the motor will not
drive the dynamo at a sufficient speed to
charge the accumulators,the dynamo is stop
ped automatically, and the same mechanism
will break the contact between the dynamo
and the accumulators.

Ttae Sherman Plghtluc Blood.
From the Indianapolis Journal.
When General Sherman was pressing the
rebels hard at Meridian, Miss. , in 1864, his
two daughters were attending school at St.
Mary's academy near Notre Dame, Ind.
There were also in that institution a number
of southern girls, whose Tebel proclivities
they were always ready to make known upon
the slightest provocation, and the result nas
that there was a constant feud between them
and the northern girls. Among the latter
no one was more pronounced ia hatred of
the rebel cause than Miss Minnie Sherman,
now the wife of Lieutenant Thackera of the
United States navy. She was the champion
and heroine of such in that school. Mrs.
John Cannon of Andrews, Ind. , who was" a
classmate of Miss Sherman's, recalls some
interesting reminiscences of the latter dur
ing the last days of the war.
On Washington's birthday, 1864, about
the time when General Sherman was de
stroying the railroads in Mississippi, a band
of musicians from South Bend came ont in
the afternoon to the academy to serenade the
pupils. The visit was anticipated by the
southern girls and they prepared for it.
When the stirring strains of the "Star Span
gled Banner" and "Hail Columbia" had died
away a namber of the rebel girls appeared at
one of the windows, each with a small rebel
flag pinned upon her breast. The band grew
indignant and drove rapidly away, and when
the townspeople heard of the thing they
were greatly incensed and many threats of
mob violence were uttered. Inside the in
stitution the situation was not so bad. When
the superior, Mother Angela, heard of the
action she rushed to the girls and tore the
flags from their breasts and sent them to
their rooms. On the evening of the same
day a ball, attended only by the pupils of
the institution in honor of the day, was giv
en, and an appropriately decorated Union
flag hung like a curtain over a doorway at
one end of the ballroom, and was looked
upon with pride by the Union girls. How
ever, when one of the southern girls passed
it she tore it like a tigress from the wall and
trampled it under her feet. Minnie Sher
man was but a few feet away. Her face
flushed and her eyes flashed their indigna
tion, and she was unable to speak for a few
moments. Then with a terrifying 4'How
dare you!" she drew back her hind and
struck the girl such a blow that she was
prostrated. . Then all was excitement and
confusion, the young sister m charge ot tne
room was horrified and all looked for a
dreadful scene, but the flag was replaced and
remained there all the evening. The two
words spoken by Mother Angela, "Young la
dies!" soon brought the girls to their senses;
but though the entertainment was contin
ued, none of the girls quite recovered their
equanimity.
Lord" Wellington In Difficulty.
I From the Pall Mall Qazette.
A "French officer tells an amusing anecdote
in a recent nnmber of the "Revue Retro
spective." It was at the time when the
French army stood before Torres Vedras,
separated from the English camp by a num
ber of vineyards in which there were a few
caves containing wine. The soldiers of both
armies drank fraternally from these stores
without ever coming in conflict. One day,
however, a French sergeant was captured in
one of the caves by some English soldiers,
who took him into their camp tmd conduct
ed him to the Duke of Wellington. After a
few questions the sergeant was ordered to
leave, but would not stir.
"Go along," said the general. No move
ment, but the brusque reply, 'General, your
soldiers had no right to make me their pris
oner." "And how is that!" "How is that?
It is this way: The cave being neutral
ground, they had no more right to capture
me than 1 nad to captnre them. They took
advantage of my Isolation. Soldiers ought
to have more manners among themselves."
"Was that the way you were taken prison
er?" "Yes, general." "Very well, you shall
dine with my attendants and go where yon
came from." But the Frenchman still re
fused to move. "Have yon not heard what
I said, sergeant?" "Qh, yea, general. I
have heard it all, but I do not wish to go
with your attendant." "And why not?"
"Because no French soldier ever eats with
domestic servants." Lord Wellington, with
a bow and a sign of assent, took the hint,
ordered another convert to be laid at his own
table and invited the French sergeant to din
ner. "niu Cleveland" at tUe Capitol.
Washington Gossip in the Baltimore American.
A funny incident occurred in the House
gallery yesterday. A new doorkeeper was
in the private gallery, wh?n a lady came up
to him and started to go in. The doorkeep
er remarked that she oonld not enter, as this
was the private gallery, whereupon the lady
drew herself up and remarked: "You don't
seem to know me. I am Miss Cleveland."
The new doorkeeper was astonished and
begged pardon. He not only opened the
door, bnt went inside and down to the front
seat and made the people there get out be
cause "the President's sis cer" wanted to get
a seat. The lady swept down to the front
row and took her place. Soon it became
noised about that Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleve
land was in the gallery. The women craned
their necks to see her and so did . everyone
else. Finally the doorkeeper of the diplo
matic gallery came around to see what the
excitement meant. He asked the new door
keeper of the private gallery what was going
on. "Why, Miss Cleveland, the President's
sister, is inside," he remarked. The diplo
mat went in and in a few minutes came out
with great disgust and remarked that the
woman was no more Miss Rose Elizabeth
Cleveland than he was. The other door
keeper told the new doorkeeper the same
thing and he laughed heartily at his being
imposed upon. The woman was a Miss
Cleveland, but no relation to the President,
nor did she tell the doorkeeper she was.
Fuller-Folk Peculiarities.
From the Art Journal.
It is not to be wondered at that these poor,
ignorant people, who live on or by the sea all
their lives, are imbued with queer notions
and superstitions concerning it. They do
not acknowledge this readily, are rather
ashamed of it indeed, and it takes time and
familiarity to bring these superstitions to
light. They appear to endow the sea with
Bentient power, with an intelligent and gene
rally malignant will. It is ever ready to
undo human labor and destroy human hope.
Before very rough weather there occasionally
comes a strange calm, a hush like to nothing
save the holding of a breath before a furious
outburst of rage. It has a weird effect, com
ing as it often does at nightfall. After this
a dull, wailing, muffled sound creeps out of
the darkness a sound as of lamentation and
entreaty heard from afar. "The sea is call
ing," they say here; and when this happens
the fishermen expect a gale before morning.
v hen the sea has got hold of its prev and
there is a house or houses desolate in the
village they hold that it mourns, making
quite a different sound to any other time.
About funerals there are odd observances
and ideas. It is unlucky either to meet or to
cross a funeral train. There are girls in the
village who are a sort of professional mourn
ers (though unpaid) for children and young
women who die unmarried. Thev are
dressed in black, with white hoods and
shawls of white spun silk on their shonlders.
Six of these mourners is the mystic nnmber,
and whenever one is married another is se
lected to fill her place. Probably it is con
sidered a post of honor, for there never
seems a vacancy, though I do not know how
the selection is made. They are grave look
ing damsels, so it may be by their fitting ap
pearance. At a young man's funeral there
are only two of these girls, who walk before
and are called "servers." The Dissenters
have a custom of singing a sort of dirge over
their dead, not unlike in effect the chanting
of the monks at a funeral in Rome. But
when the sad duties are done comes a time
of feasting. Their pride forbids them to
have anything but "a mensefal funeral."
Another peculiarity is that when the people
are asked to attend it is by men and girls
named "bidders" (not necessarily relatives of
the deceased.)

From such persons you may hear that if
anyone takes the eggs out of a raven's nest,
boils them so as to render them incapable of
incubation and replaces them, the parent
birds will fly to a brook and fetch thence a
white stone of the size and shape of the eggs.
The stone they say it places carefully among
the eggs and then sits on eggs and stone to
gether. The stone restores vitality to the
eggs and after the brood is fledged and has
flown it is left behind in the nest. It has,
however, suffered a great change. It is now
semi-transparent, and in every respect ex
cept its weight and harduess is exactly like
an egg. If it be placed near any poisoned
food the yolk begins to move violently and
thus warns the fortunate possessor of his
danger.
The lapwing is even more given to sorcery.
It always deposits a stone the size of a pea iu
its nest. What use it is to the bird or its
family no one seems to know, but if anyone
finds it and places it under the pillow of a
Bleeping person he will answer every ques
tion that does not exceed the limits ot hu
man knowledge with perfect truth iu the
language in which it is asked. The marvel
ous stories told of serpents are innumerable.
There is one about a yard m length and as
thick as tne upuer part ct a strong man s
arm, which haunts dry wooded places. It is
so venomous, especially in May, that not
only will tve first person it bites in that
month die himself, bnt anyone who stands
beside or comes to help him will share the
same fate. If he falls beneath a tree that
too, or if it be very large, at least one half
of it will be killed.
Again sernents of all kinds are very fond
of milk. In the old days, before the rail
way was built, a coachman who used to
drive on the road between Foggia and Na
ples once fell asleep outside a little inn
while his horses were baiting. His mouth
was open and a snake crept down his
throat. After this he felt unwell, though
he did not kuow why, and none of the
doctors could tell what was the matter
with him. At last he consulted the professors
of the University of Naples. They hung him
up by his feet and placed a great bowl of milk
beneath his head. The snake, attracted by the
smell, crept out to drink, but still kept a great
part of its. body in the mouth and throat of the
coachman. A voung doctor sprang forward.
pulled it out and threw it away, when it was
killed. It was about two and a bait feet in
length. After this the patient was as well as
ever. ,
Hints on Bathing.
From the New Or'eans Picayune
We "take cold" through the skin it should
be remembered, as we also breathe through
it, throwing off superfluous heat which
becomes fever when the perspiration is sup
pressed and also sending off waste pro-;
ducts. Persons who have any tendency to
pulmonary disease should make their skins
active. A double handful of common salt
thrown into the bathing water after the
cleaning process has been performed is a
beneficial addition. The saline particles are
veiy penetrating, and no amount of rubbing
will remove them from the skin, upon which
they exert a most nseful, though a. gentle
stimulating influence, especially salutary in
cases of sluggish liver. Not only does this
act locallyon the skin, increasing its secre
tions, but also quickens the process of nu
trition in all the tissnes of the body.
Tbumbless mittens of ordinary Turkish
toweling are as good as the more costly
sponges for the luxury of the daily "rub
bath." A large Turkish towel wrung out iu
either tepid or cold water will expedite the
bathing process; and by all means provide a
good sized towel for Ihe dry rub afterward.
Turkish towels that come the size of crib
sheets are most useful for this, and the luxu
ry of keeping two linen bath sheets in daily
use is known tq the initiated few.' After
either a cold or a warm plunge bath the im
mediate covering of the whole body in a
large wrap of linen or the soft tufted cotton
gives the sensation of luxury that some peo
ple never know.

A GREAT deal is heard nowadays Khout Lac
tart, the acid of milk. This has been proved
by the practical experience of thousands of people
to be one of the most valuable of food acids. As it
is the pure acid of milk, it is not strange that its
use as a Deverage and tonic (particularly good in
cases of dyspepsia) should have become widely
prevalent in those sections where It has been intro
duced The company that manufacture it now
come forward with their Lnetart and Honey for
the cure of coughs and colds. This remedy,
it is said, his already won a greet suc
cess, and favorable mention of it is
made in every quarter wherever it has
been tried. Lactart and Honey has a very agree
able taste to the palate, so that it is exceedingly
Sleasant to take, and is partieulai ly nice for chil
ren. The combination of a sweet and a sour, such
as Lactart and Honey makes, is rittbt in line with
the past experience of the race, in which such com
binations have always been ftymd effcient in the
cure of coug' s, hoarseness and sore tnroat. Honey
is known to be soothi g and healing, and tho Lac
tart, acting with it, di-solves the thickened mucus
and makes a well throat out of a disordered one.
As a truly scien'iQc cough remedy, Lactart and
Honey should have a trial.
