A committee of the Iowa legislature "recently presented to Miss Kate Shelley a frncdal voted her hy that body in rcco,r"ni ttion of her bravery. "When the presen tation was made the little town indulged jin a celebration which eclipsed any pub lic demonstration ever held in that rc ,gion. There was a procession, music, speeches, and a banquet. Kale She! lev vis now a comely girl of eighteen, but ifihe achieved her present fame by an act of the greatest bravery -when she was but ixtecn. At about dark on the Gth of July, 1 81, a storm of wind and rain of unparalleled severity broke over Boone. In an hour s time every creek was out of its banks, and the Des Moines river had risen six feet. So sudden was the flood and such was the velocity of the wind that houses barns, lumber, and all portable objects ""within reach of the waters were carried away. Looking from her window, which in daylight commanded a view of the Honey Creek railroad bridge, Kate Shel ley saw through the darkness and storm a locomotive headlight. A second later it dropped, and though the crash which it must have made was not perceptible above the roar of the wind, she knew that the bridge had gone, and that a train of cars had fallen into the abyss. There was no one at home but her mother and her little brother and sister, and the igirl understood that if help was to be Igiven to the sulleivrs, and the press train, then nearly duo, warned, she would have to undertake the task alone. Hastily tilling and lighting an old lan tern and -wrapping herself in a w:itrr ,proof. she sallied out in the storm. She jirst made an effort to reach the -water's edge, but. iinding that the ilood was al ready far above all the paths and road ways, and realizing that she could do nothing in or near that mad torrent, she climbed painfully un the steel) bluff to the track, tearing her clolhing to rags on the thick undergrowth and lacerating the flesh most painfully. A part of" the ibridge still remained, and trawling out on this to the last tie, she swung her lantern over the abyss and callerl out at the top of her voice It -was pitchy dark Ibdlow, but she -was answered faintly by the engineer, who had crawled un on tsome of the broken timbers, and though Umpired, was safe for the time being. 'Prom him the i fpiri learned that it was a freight train that had gone into the chasm, and that lie alone of the train Jhands had escaped. He urged her, how ever, to proceed at once to the nearest (station to secure help for him and to warn the approaching express train of the fall of the bridge. The girl then retraced her steps, gained the track, and made her -way, with all the speed that the gale would permit, toward Moingona, a small station about one mile from Honey Creek. In making this perilous journey it -was necessary for 'her to cross the high trc-tlc bridge over the Des Moines river, about o0(f feet in 'length. Just as she tremblingly put her ioot on this structure the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were so appalling that she nearly lost her balance, and, in the endeavor to save herself, her sole companion, the old lantern, went out. She had no matches, but if she had had thousands of them they would have been of no service in such a place and in such a storm. De prived of her light, she could not sne a foot ahead save when the dazzling flashes of lightning revealed the grim outlines of the bridge and the seething waters be neath. Knowing that she had no time to Hose, the brave girl threw away the use less lamp, and, dropping on her hands and knees, cnnvlcd from tie to tie across the high trestle. Having gained the iground again, she ran the short distance remaining to the station, told her .story in breathless haste, and fell unconscious at the feet of the gaping rustics, who, in (their eagerness to know her adventure, forgot the terror and suspense which she Iliad endured. Men were then sent to the rescue of the engineer, and telegrams were flying up mnd down the line notifying oflici a Island lOthers of the loss of the bridge. The ex iprcss train came thundering in and was slopped, and the passengers', learning the story of the child-hero, ' looked, a few at a time, upon her wan face and nrg'd iclotHics. The purse that was made up fr Iher was of a very substantial kind. "When the story of her behavior spread (throughout the State several funds for her Iboneiit were started, and, so far as money can pay for such devotion, she has been well rewarded for her night's work. At llhc session of the Legislature last winter fit was ordered that a medal commemora ihive of the girl's bravery be struck, and a icommittcc was appointed to present it to Ihor. Her heroism was made the theme of i many eloquent speeches. - Cure for Hydrophobia. The Continental Times, of Geueva, IBwitzerland, says: It is some time since we mentioned the successful treatment tof (hydrophobia by garlic, that Dr. Verey ira Dias, of Oporto, tried on nine indi viduals bitten by mad dogs in the year 1882. The subject has been brought for ward by M. Eugene Gayot, who strongly advises that a remedy, easily obtained aud applied, should not be neglected. The manner in wliich it was discovered, i according to Mr. Gayot, was this: A young peasant having been bitten by a irabid dog, his parents, unable to bear Who sight of his torments, shut, him up in a room which contained several bun dles of freshly gathered garlic. In his iragc the sufferer bit aud tore at it, be ing the only thing within his reach, and having swallowed a large quantity, he was cured. In so fearful a malady and one that has hitherto resisted all medi cal treatment, no means should be left untried to find a remedy. The treat ment by garlic consists of washing the wound in cold water and applying the garlic pounded. During eight days (Sixty grammes of a decoction of one clove of garlic boiled in 750 grammes Of water until the liquid is diminished to 500 grammes, is to be administered, each da the patient is to eat two cloves of garlic with a little bread. Should hydrophobia declare itself, he must chew garlic until the madness be calmed. Chestnuts as Food. 'Chestnuts are largely used for food in ;S,pain. They are not eaten raw, but ground and baked into a vcrv good Icind of bread. Particular attention is given to the chestnut tree in Spain, and some varieties bearing very large nuts liavc been propagated. There is a great difference in size and quality of chest aiuts on different trees, as every country iboy soon learns, but few or no attempts liavc been made to increase the better varieties.

Hawaii, being wholly volcanic, looks like a fortress ninety miles long, built up by the genii. Yet, dreary as it is, or seems from the sea, it is really full of green pastures, on which feed wild cattle, the descendants of those brought in by "Vancouver, and owned by ranch men, to the tune of ten and fifteen heads apiece, in runs of twenty miles long. It must have been sad to stand by and see a forest burned up like so many matches, and another with the trees snapped off at the surfaoe of the fire-flood, the portion imbedded in the lava being burned to dust, and leaving a seriis of pock-marks on the hardened surface. One night in 1S52, it seemed as if a solitary star was shining on the MaunaLoa, at a spot afterward found to be four thousand feet below the summit. After the second evening it seemed to die away, but soon burst out again with amazing splendor, no longer a star, but a column of fire seven huudred feet high by angular measurement, and from two hundred to three hundred feet broad, which was visible one hundred miles off, and tho ashes and chared leaves from which, covered the decks of approach ing ships. The lava stream was visi ble thirty miles off; and in twenty days there had been thrown up a Gone a mile round at the base and four hun dred feet high, which is standing to this day. The weird beauty of the color-changes was something past be lief. Issuing white-hot from the cra ter, the lava changed first to light, then to deep red, then to glossy gray, with shining black patches, every tint intermingled in constant movement, and a very cataract of sparks falling from the fire pillar. In 1855 there was a yet greater erup tion, from Jwhich the town of Hilo narrowly escaped. One strange episode was when a cataract of lava poured over a precipice into a very deep rock basin, in which a big ship might have floated. The water was all driven off in steam, the basin filled up, and the precipice changed into a glently slop ing plane. Months after it was a hid eous sight to see this lava stream, about fifty miles from its source, slug gishly twisting about in vast coils, whoso lustrous metallic surface was seamed with red, showing the unoooled stream below, while every now and then the fflisteninc: crust which hunff over tins lire-stream caved in just as "cat's ice" breaks and showB the water underneath it. Legitimate "Work. Talking about laboring women, I wish it were in my power to persuade young girls who wonder what they shall do to earn their living, that it is really better to choose some business that is in tho line of a woman's natu ral work. There is a great repugnance at the thought of being a servant, but a girl is no less a servant to the man who owns the shop where she stands all day behind the counter than she is where she waits upon tho table or cooks the dinner in a pleasant house ; and to my mind there would not bo a minute's question between the two ways of going out to service. The wages are better, the home is better, tho freedom and liberty are double in one what they are in the other. If, instead of the sham service that is jnven by ignorant and really overpaid . i)ioymenc anu wouiu ue valued un- mensely by their employers. "When one realizes how hard it is to find good women for every kind of work in our houses, and what prices many rich peo ple are nioro than willing to pay if they can be well suited, it is a wonder more girls are not ready to seize tho chances. It is because such work has been, almost always so carelessly and badly done, that it has fallen into dis repute, and the doers of it have taken such low rank. iNobody takes the trouble to fit herself properly, but wompn trust to being taught and find ing out their duties after they assume such positions, not before. The Meadows of Maryland. SrittNGFiELD, Prince George's Co., IId. Mr. Chas. G, Addison, of the above named place, states: "I sprained my right knee causing intense suffering, and the use of crutches for several weeks. I found no relief in other remedies and finally tried the miracle of cure, St. Jacob's Oil. In a short time I could bend my knee which wjis as stiff as an iron rod, laying aside my crutches and was able to walk as well as ever. Avoid "Wrinkles. A wrinkle, once made, is indelible; it has come to stay. There is no such thing as wiping out wrinkles. In men they are often honorable evidence of hard mental labor; in women they are usually evidence of coming age, al though care and suffering have much to do with them. Sometimes fair fore heads are prematurely wrinkled from a nervous habit of elevating the eye brows, and from a too great and too constant pressure of the pillow on one or both sides of the head while sleep ing. And just here comes tt fact worth remembering. If the forehead has es caped wrinkles, crow's feet are prema turely seen about the corners of the eyes. "We all see the crow's feet in men and women whose brows tq smooth and young looking. They are the result of sleeping on the right and left sides. The pressure upon the temple and cheek leaves wrinkles at the corners and underneath the eyes which disappear in a few hours, but finally become so fixed that neither hours nor ablutions will abate them. An Only Daughter Cured of Consumption. When death was hourly expected, all remedies having failed, and Dr. H. James was experimenting with the many herbs of Calcutta, he accidentally made preparation which cured his only child of consumption. His child is now in this country and enjoying the best of health. He has proved to tho world that consumption can be positively and per manently cured. The doctor now gives this recipe free, only asking two 2-cent Btampsto pay expenses. The herb also cures night sweats, nausea at the stomach, and will break m a fresh cold in twenty four hours. Address Craddock & Co., 1082 Race street, Philadelphia, naming this papor. HIS OTO EXECTTTOB. A Well-known foaJ,emaBfcpHJlft"r?J,,I nnd the Commotion Caused by One or Ilia lctturtj. Rochctter Democrat and Chronicle. "Wo published in our local columns yester day morning a significant letter from a gen tleman known personally or by reputation to nearly every person in the land. We have received a number of letters 'protesting against tho use of our columns for such "pal pable frauds nnd misrepresentations;" there tore, to confirm beyond a doubt tho authen ticity of the lettor, and the genuineness of its sentiments, a reporter of tins paper was commissioned to ascertain all the possible facts in the matter. Accordingly ho visited Clifton Springs, saw the author of the letter, and with tho following result: Dr. Henry Foster, the gentleman in ques tion, isGli or 01 years of ago and has an ex tremely cordial manner. Ho presides m su porintendent over tho celebrated sanitarium which accommodates over five hundred guests and is unquestionably tho leadinj health resort of tho country. Several years ago this benevolent man wisely determined to be his own executor; aud, therefore turned over this maniiiroat prorcrty, worth 300, 0D0, as a froo gift to a loard of trustees, representing the principal evengelical de nominations. Amoirjthc trustees are Bishop A. C. Coxi', Protestant Episcopal, Buffallo: Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia, Methodist Episcopal; President M. B. An derson, of thj University of Rochester: Eev. Dr. Clark, Secretary of tho A. B. C. P. M., Boston. Tho benovolent purpose of the in stitution is the care : 1st of evangelical missionaries and their families whoso health has been broken in their work. 2d of ministers, of any denomination, in good standing. 3d of members of any church who otherwise would ba unabloto secure such care and treatment. The current ex penses of tho institution aro mot by the re ceipt from tho hundreds of distinguished and wealthy people who evoiy year crowd its utmost capacity. Here ora men and women who were once in perfect health, but neglected tho iirst symptoms of disease. Tho uncertain pains they felt at first were over looked until their health became impaired. They little realized tho danger before them, nor how alarming even trifling ailments might prove. Thoy constitute all classes, including ministers aid bishops, lawyers, judges, statesmen, mil'Ionairos, journalists, collego professors and officials from all parts of the land. Drawing tho morning Democrat and Chronicle from his pooket, the reporter re marked: "Doctor, that letter of yours has created a good deal of talk, ana many of our readers has questioned its authenticity." "To what do you refer," remarked the doc tor. "Have you not seen tho paper 1" "Yes, but I have not had time to read it yet." Tho reporter thereupon showed him the letter, which was as follows: Clifton Springs Sanitarium Co., 1 Cliitox Spring?, N. Y., Oct. 11, 1883. f Dear Sir: I am using Warner's Safe Cure, and I regard it as tho best remedy for some forms of kidney disease that we cave, lam watching with greafr care some cases I am now treating with it, and I hop for favor ablo results. 1 wish you might como down yourself, as I would Tike very much to talk with you about your sterling remedy and show you over our institution. Yours truly, Signed Henry Foster, M. D. "I do not see why anybody should be skep tical concerning that letter," remarked tho doctor. "Isn't it unusual for a physician of your standing ana influence to commend a pro prietary preparation "1 don't know how it may bo with others,but in thisiiLstitutijii we allow no person to dic- tato to us wnac wo snail use. uur purpo-e is to cure l ho sick, and for that work wo use anything wo kn w to be valuable. Because I know -Warner's Safe Cure is a very valua ble preparation, I commend it. As its power is manifested under my use, so shall I add to tho complotene.s of my commendation." "Have you ever analyzed it, doctor?" "Wo always unnlyze before we try any preparation of which wo do not know tho constituents, imc analysis, you Know, omy gives tho elements : it does not give the all im portant proportions. The remarkable power of Warner's b'afa Cure undoubtedly consists in tho proportions according to which its ele ments aro mixed." While there may bo a thousand romodioj made of the same ele ments, uidess thejr are put together in proper Sroportions they aro worthless as kidney and ver prei nrations. " I hope somo day to me3t Mr. Warner per sonally, and extend fuller congiatulations to him on tho excellence of his preparations. I have heard much of him as the founder of the Warner Observat .ry, and as a man of large benevolence. The ruputsd high character of the man himself gavo assurance to me in tho first place that ho would not put a remedy upon tho market that was not trustworthy; and it was a source of a good deal of gratifi cation to me to find out by actual experiment that the remedy itself sustained my impres sions." Tho concluaon reached by Dr. Foster is recisely the saino found by Dr. Dio Lewis, Ir. Rolert A. Gium, ex-Surgeon-General Gallagher and others, and proves beyond a doubt the great ollicacy of the remedy which has awakened so much attention in tho land and res ucd so many men, women and chil dren from disease and death.

Mobbih, "Eaglo" office, Pittsfield, Mass., writes. Mny 25, 1883: "For several month? my wife's mother (Mrs. Amy Boyce) had been in a very precarious condi tion with dropsy or Br'gut's disease of tho kidneys, and having used all mo'hods and measures for her ro3toration in the line of treatment by our leading physicians, nnd having failed to benefit her, her family de spaired of seeing her relieved, and gave her up to dio. Happening to run across the tes timony of a Mrs. Dawley, who had been cured of similar sickness byuung Hunt's Remedy, we at once procured a bottlo of it, and com me'iced giving it as directed. After n?ing it three dnjs fhQ was so far improved tint she could get from her bed to her chair without assistance (a c rcumstance that had not hap pened for months). Previous to facing it she wns troubled more or less with short breath, requiring a continuous fanning Jo keep her alive. This gradually improved as we continued tho use of Hunt's Remedy, and on the fourth bottle she was able to set up all day. She was bloatod terribly in both limbs and body upward to the Inngs. The tenth day the bloating left her bowels, nnd now she is not swollen above the knees. Her kidueys were very bad at the time, discharges being of a bloody character and emitting a sicken ing odor. I can say that the change in her case has been wonderful, ancLHunt's Remedy has worked a miracle in her." Satisfactory Evidence. J. W.

Some men have such bad blood that the wonder is it docs not poison the mosquitoes who come to bite them. The nch red color of good blood is owing to the iron which is present. Blood which has not enough iron in it is always unsatisfactory. The per son in whose veins it circulates cannot be said to enjoy good health. f The efforts of expert chemists to produce a preparation of iron whiM can be assimilated with the blood h Tt resulted in that perfect preparation which is an important part of Brown's Iron Bitters. It is the only one which freely enters into the blood. It is the only one which accomplishes the desired good. Weak, poor, thin blood may be made rich and strong, and impure blood may be purified by the use of that Great Iron Medicine, Brown Iron Bitters Home Items.
