MEDICAL. 11 GILL’S SAUGHTZX Poor Katie I A greet • offerer the wm, and most patiently aid she endure in the hope that at last her sufferings would come to an end. She wss just budding into womanhood; a fine-looking girl of nearly nineteen, who had, previous to her attack of illness, etyoyed robust health. Let her mother tell the story, as she told it to taro of our editorial friends who recently spent an evening at the house. ‘‘Katie's illness came on slowly, with great pain in her thigh and hip. For a while she kept on going to school, but the pains became so severe that she had to stay at home, and most of the time lie down cn a little lounge here in the sitting room. We tried the best physicians we could get The disease baffled them aIL One said it was ulceration of the thigh bone, and wanted to have the poor child undergo a terrible operation. It turned out to be sciatic rheumatism. Poor child! how she did suffer I About four o’clock in the afternoon she would begin screaming with pain. She couldn’t help it She would scream and moan tiU about four in the morning. Then she would fall asleep from weariness, and sleep for some hours. This went on for about eight months. During the nights neither she nor I could . leep. “Katie was a great reader. One day, in a paper, she saw an advertisement of Athlophoros. She asked me to get it and aee if it wouldn’t cure her. We had tried a good many different things, but I thought we would try this. And I went and got a bottle. I gave her ad-«eof it towards evening. It was simply wonderful how it quieted the poor child’s pain and nut her into a gentle sleep. She slept nicely nntil ten. Then site was in a great perspiration. She waked and I gave her another dose, for the first one had done her so much p>"xl. Then she fell asleep again and slept till morning. Her pain was gone. Bhe had hardly any returns ofiL The Athlophoros did the work for her nu«t completely. “But the terrible sciatica had drawn Katie’s leg up, and made it shorter than it had been, dv several inches. She was lame for life, although the rheumatism was all driven out of her. She had to walk on crutches. One day she fell down stairs and was so badly hurt that she had to be taken to the hospital. There she suffered a great deal, and after some weeks she died. “ Father Tscheider, of the Paulist Fathers, saw much of Katie during her illness, and knows all about us. Go and ask him, and he will tell you all about it Some time ago we gave a letter about Katie’* case, and it was put ’ished We bare i.ad numerous inquiries in reference to it, all hich we promptly answer. “ I m II jou,” continued Mrs. (Jill, “ofou* ,nbor, Mrs. Summers, and her eleven-yen r old boy. The boy had one of the most terrible attacks of rheumatism I ever knew a boy to have. I had a little Athlophoros left in the bottle from which Katie had taken. I gave it to Mrs. Summers, and she gave it to the chi Id who was scream ing with pain. When Mr. Summers came home, he was surprised to find the boy sitting up, free from pain, and cheerfully singing. I wish you would go and see them. They live not far from here, on West 12th atre t, No. 905.” Mr. (Jill added iu his own behalf: “ I have had a good deal of rheumatism myself, chiefly in nit shoulders and arms. But I took Athlophoros and I got rid of the trouble. I did not hsve to fake much either. I found the medicine acted very quickly.’" The Rev. Father PeierTscheider, assist ant pastor of the Church of the Holy Fam ily, was found at his pastoral residence, No. 417 West 12th street, Chicago. Father Tscheider took pleasure in saying that be knew Mr. and Mrs. Gill, and that he esteemed them highly; also that he had seen Katie frequently during her illness, and knew all about her wonderful re covery from sciatica, and her subsequent injury and her illness at the hospital. It you cannot get Athlophoros of your drug gist, we will send It express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per -ottle. We prefer that you buy It from your druggist, but If be hasn’t It. do not be persuaded to try ■nmsthtng else, but order at once from us, as directed Athlophoros Co., ill Wall street.

David to The Current ] It was odd. the way I first met Hobbs. I had been in Florence a year, ostensibly finishing my education, a phrase always vague enough when applied to young men who perform tirat important opera tion abroad, but especially vague in my case. Insensible alworption doubtless did something for me, but as I looked back over the year I could see no very definite acquisitions and was not at all pleased with the retrospect My well planned assault on the Italian lauguage had speedily dwindled into a desultory skirmish on the borderlands that gave me nothing hut subsistence; for I had Imrely learned enough to order a dinner, while as Tor art well, I begin at the wrong end of that, and had been ever since in inextricable confusion. To be sure, I could ta*k learnedly enough about it—with those who knew less of it than I did—but 1 did not, and could not, understand it 1 could not brinjj my mind to books, a not uunatural reaction, as they had been some what forcibly brought to it during my college daya My friends were uninteT eating. and music had lew charms for me. so I found myself sftending many hours in my rooms, asking myself a great many times what 1 was good for, without ever getting anything like a satisfactory an •wer. and had about made up mi mind to B> home and do something w&en I met obbs I was sitting one morning over my breakfast in the cafe where I look that meal, feeling more than usually dissatis fied with the world In general and myself in particular, and ga/ing idly out of the open window at the passers by, when my attention was attracted to a little child that Itad strayed out into the middle of the street and was In imminent danger of being run over bv a rapidly approaching carriage, the driver of which was en gaged in conversation with its oc cupants. I start'd to my feet with an involuntary- cry, and as I did so saw a young man dart from the opi>osite sidewalk, snatch tin* child from under the horse's feet and deposit it at the cafe door, where it was eiaimed by an agitat'd young woman, who began a voluble thank offer ing. The young man smiled, nodded, and. entering the cafe, took a seat at the table next mine. I have always found a peculiar pleasure in trying to assign na ttonality, character, and occupation to people thus thrown in my way, and turned eagerly from a con templation of the street to a scrutiny of new-comer. The subject of my speculations his time was in no way re markable. 1. was a young man of me dium height and slender figure, with dark, almost sallow complexion and tolerably regular features. Nothing in his dress served to distinguish him from the other occupants of the cafe, unless it was a cer tain negligence that is seldom found in the young men of Florence. His clothes fitted him well, yet he seemed no to know it, for he sprawled out in his chair as if clothes were furthest from his thoughts: his vest was half unbuttoned, his coat dusty. Altogether he was totally uninteresting, and I would probably never have notic'd him had it not been for the incident in the street I was deliberating whether to class him as Austrian or Greek, for I felt sure he was no Italian, when he looked up, caught my eye. smiled slightly, and 9aid "Good morning. " TLen I saw that his eyes were blue, and under the influence of that smile —the pleasantest, frankest smile I have ever seen—l responded, “Good morning, ” and wondered where 1 had met him. Trying to decide this question I turned again to the window, and only observed from the oorners of my eyes that he drank his cof fee as if be thoroughly enjoyed it, and when be had finished It took a cigarette from his pocket, lighted it. and settled back in his chair as If he meant to enjoy that also. After smoking a few moments he got up, and, coming to my tab'e, stood looking out of the window for a long time in silence. At length be turned to roe and said. “ Bored T ” “What does the fellow mean?” I thought, and was about to reply curtly, when, looking up, I saw he was smiling at me “Bored? Why.no Why do you ask? ” I asked feebly. “Because you look so, ”he answered promptly. “W ell, ” I said, “I don't know but that I am a little at a loss for something to do this morning." lie looked at me for a moment in •flence, with a half wondering, half quiz alcal loo', in his eyes, and then said: “lam likely to have excitement enough before noon. * “How s that?” I asked. “W'ell, my landlord has Intimated some what pointedly that if my rent is not paid this morning my rooms must lie vacated at once. lam a painter, and he thinks a poor one. for be will not see enough evi dence of genius in me to make him will ing to trust me any longer. He is ah surdly ludicrous when angry, and if you think it will furnish you any amusement, why come along and see it I shall enjoy it immensely. ” Nothing loath for this trivial even di version, and feeling an unaccountable in terest in this strange fellow, 1 got up and followed him into the street He thrust his hand into the pockets of his coat, and. turning down a side street, led the way toward a part of the city more noted for its aristocracy four centuries ago than to-day. “You see," be aaid, I have a number of pictures for sale iu the shops, and thought that some of them might have been sold, but 1 have been looking around, aud find they have not been going off very fast;” anu added after a snort pause, “I don’t like my rooms any way; they’re too small, and the light’s not good. ” Arrived at last to our destination, we ascended (light after flight of steps until we reach the rooms, a studio and bed room. in tbe top story. A bslf dozen unfinished pictures stood on easels and against tbe wails in tbe studio. The scant furniture was of the most heterogeneous description. A rickety, plebeian looking chair stood be fore a delicately carved writing desk that might once have graced a palace of tbe Madid. On the floor was a Turkish rug, much worn and liberally bestrewed with bits of rag and cigarette stumps. On the mantel stood aa iron figure of the crud ftxion, flanked by cigars, a blacking brush, books, letters. I bad barely notea these things when the landlord, s' short, fat, ball of a man entered; grew very much excited when informed there was no * money for him. inflating himself, until he looked like a toy balloon, at the beginning of each of Iris shrill sentences, and * then gradually Mowing off, until at the and be seemed about half his original size, only to repeat the inflation ana collapse with as great rapidity as waa consistent with the enormous quantity of air that must have been required. My new friend took it all very coolly, being probably by that time weU accustomed to it, and paid little attention to tha angry Tuscan (who grew visibly weaker), nut deliberately filled a large meerschaum, and, having lighted ft, dragged a large trunk from tbe bed room, and began un ceremoniously pitching things into it The landlord was by this time com pletely exhausted, and leaned against the well panting for breath, his little red eyes tbe only signs of the fine within. I inquired of my aew acquaintance if he had engaged rooms elsewhere, and being answered ia the negative, naked whore be was going.

K ' z • -X" HITHERTO. Herald. aowß o| my sitting-room iur uiabed just the light he needed for his work, so in it he placed his easel My evenings, dull ana profitless, were now spent in pleasant converse with Hobbs, whom 1 found a most delightful compan ion. He had traveled much, and seemed to know a little of every possible subject, though when he had traveled or how he had learned so much, for he was barely five and twenty, and rarely read anything, were equally inexplicable t< me I be came much attached to him, indeed, his genial insouciance, his utter unselfishness, and his bright, ever-ready wit were all conquering, and yet as I learned to know him better I saw that he had many faults. Foremost of these was his utter thriftlessness. He would pass whole weeks of almost complete impecuniosity, as gay as a lark, living in a haphazard Bo hemian way, refusing any assistance, finishing his dinner of a crust and a glass of water with a merry dissertation upon the follv of high living, and then, a pic ture being sold, would insist -pon a sup per at the most expensive restaurant in the city, and on such occasions no game was too rare, no wines too costly, and no ciirars too good for ua I always pro tested against such extravagance, but argument and supplicatiou were alike in vain, for he brushed them both aside with a wave of his band, and would take no refusal. And what a treat were those suppers to me! Hobbs, always entertain ing. became fairly magical under the triple influence of meat, wine, and a filled purse. Another trait that displeased me in Hobbs was his inconsistency. He was very clear and positive in his opinions, an ardent advocate of the truths of Christian ity, and of strict views of morality, vet he never went to church, although always intending to, occasionally drank more wine than was good for him, and, I re gret to add, swore with great vigor and fluency when his pictures were rejected. He was very irregular in bis work, and would pa9s weeks with out touching brush to canvas, and then for a week paint almost incessantly, lie always seemed perfectly satisfied with his finished productions aud never saw the least justice in any criticisms that any one ventured to make, and yet he was a shrewd critic of others' work. He was always lamenting that he was not fa mous. A famous painter, he said, could paint as be chose. I suggested that fa mous painters chose to paint well, and that fame was only to he attained by fol lowing the methods of great masters. He would vehemently declare that the great masters might be hanged, that no man was worthy ‘ the name of artist unless be hail something to say, and was brave enough to say it in his own way. I found it a pleasant pastime to sit and watch Hobbs at his work He was never so ab sorbed but that he could listen and talk, and it was on these occasions that I began to derive my first correct ideas on art, for whatever Hobbs was in practice, in all theory be was well nigh perfect. I can see him now. pausing to turn and brand ish his brush at me as he lays down his ideas. One day, upon returning from my morning walk 1 found Hobbs engaged in painting tbe portrait of ay onng woman, while an older one sat in a window work ing upon some embroidery. I recognized the latter as a Mrs. Anstein, the wife of an old American resi dent, and the former was introduced as her niece, Miss Vernon, just out from America Miss Vernon was very beauti ful, with delicate Complexion, fair hair, and dark blue eyea It was evident that Hobbs and she had already become good friends, and I was not long in comiDg to the conclusion that, rapidly as he worked, her image was being transferred to some thing other than his canvas with still greater rapiditv. She sat apparently all unconscious that there was any other than a purely business aspect to the sit ting. Hobbs talked a great deal, and made himself very entertaining, and I thought the more so that Miss Vernon seemed an excellent listener. She seemed without the least pretense; frankly confessed her ignorance of sub jects with which many young w-'-nen would have feigned acquaintance, and re ceived the delicate compliments which Hobbs ventured as he put in au eye or a lock of hair as if she had no doubt of his sincerity, but was a little afraid his judg ment was not good. Before tbe portrait was finished Hobbs had become a frequent caller at Mrs. Anstein's, and not long after be told me one day of bis engagement to Miss Vernon. As I had foreseen the likeli hood of the result I was not surprised, and congratulated him warmly, as I thought it the best thing that could bap pen to him. He said it was Miss Vernon s wish tliat the engagement should not be made public for a time “ How do you propose to support a wife when you find it so difficult to support yourself?" I asked “Oh* that’ll be all right, ” said ha “I suppose you know she is poor?" I observed “Yes,” said Hobbs. “What of that? 8o am 1;" and. and throwing his leg over the arm of his chair, he surveyed the room as if to see how it would do for Mrs. Hobbs. After this he worked steadily and with good success, and might have laid by some money had he been endowed with the least prudence, but he saved nothing. 1 did not despair, for I knew that Miss Vernon had never been rich, and I heard her described as a young woman of good sense, so I thought she might easily ap point herself financier. One evening, about a month after his engagement, Hobbs came in earlier than usual, and 1 saw at once that something had happened to disturb him. He was pale and haggard, and his eye avoided mine He dropped into a chair and seemed plunged In deep thought 1 thought him ill and asked what was the matter. “Nothing,” he said. When 1 went to bed I left him sitting there, with his legs stretched out before him and his head on his breast, and when I en tered the room in the morning be was there still looking as if he had not moved. He arose, said “ Good morning. ” and, going to the mantel, filled and lighted his pipe. After pacing up and down a few moments in silence, he took the pi|ie from his lips, and still walking to fro. began: “I have a story to tell you. It is about myself, and will explain my conduct last night You have doubtless wondered some about my past history. It has been uneventful. 1 was born in a city of one of the southern states, where my father was a portrait painter, as his father and grandfather had been before him. When I was 5 years old my father died poor, and left my mother and myself to the care of his best friend, a man some years younger than him self, win. had been attracted to him by his love for art To this man I owe everything I have and am. All that ie good in me comes from his bounty and example When I was 2! I told him that I was resolved to rely no more on him, and that I meant to try and justify by my life his great goodness to me I meant it, and have honestly tried to keep my word. He told me earnestly that he had no fears for my future if I would only do my duty as I saw it I have always seen my duty clearly and rightly enough, but I don't remember ever having done it thor oughly. “l4»t night Mias Vernon told me that the time had come for making our engagement known. Her parents, the said, had always intended to marry her to an old family friend, a man much older than herself, who had loved her from a child, who was in every way worthy of her re spect, and whom she would probably have married had she not met me. She •aid that be is now about starting for Florence and that she thought her parents ought to be informed of our en gagement before he arrives. Then taking a photograph album from the table she opeued it and said, ‘This to he; do you •ot think him handsomer The face was that of the man whose kindness to me I have told you of. I was too much over do®* to say anything, and came away at once pleading a sudden Indisposition. I spent mat night in trying to find out my duty in this matter. I hare found jk I toe it dearly.

One night we had sat long in his library talking of our Florentine daya The fire was burning low. We were both talked out After a long silence, broken only by the monotonous ticking of the clock. Hobbs said: “Those days were the pleas antest of my life. For a few weeks 1 was really happy. I have thought much of toe circumstances under which I left Florence. I hare, I think, thought of every possible aspect of the subject and think now as I thought then, that I was simply doing my duty.

Adulteration of Honey. [Philadelphia Times. 1 The adulteration of food has been prac ticed to such an extent 1 hat purchasers no longer expect to get a pure article, even when paying the highest prices. It is generally believed that two thirds of the milk sold in all our great cities is deprived of half its cream; it is known that but ter is made from beef fat and cotton seed oil; maple syrups have lately been made from most anything of a sweet nature, and now it is stated that most of the honey we eat is manufactured, and that much of it has not even a drop of genuine honey about it. This alleged honey was first sold in this city some five or six years ago. Its sale at first was scant, but for the past two years it has become very pop ular. and it is c laimed that there is now but little else to be found in the market. Some ol it is sold as manufactured honey, though a great deal of it is dealt out to unsuspecting purchasers as the natural product of the honey bee. The spurious kind is usually put up in little square boxes which sell for from 25 to 30 cents a pound. It looks like honey and it is said that it takes an excellent judge to tell that it is a fraud on the bee The comb is manufactured with such skill that few can tell it from the genuine article It is made from pa ratline or bees wax, and the honey is blown into it by machinery. Another kind is put up in glass vessels like ordinary jelly packages, the centre of which contains a piece- of honeycomb, and the honey is made by pouring about six j*rts of glucose around one part of hooey in the comb. Some of it is adulterated with glucose, some with cane sugar, and others by heating ordi nary sugar with an acid; 6ut it all resem bias booty, and to a certain extent has its flavor and odor. Origin of the Roller Skate. [New York Graphic ! Roller skates were invented by that very ingenious man. Gabriel Ravel, of the Ravel Pantomimists, and “The Skaters of Wilna, " performed at N iblo’s Garden over forty years ago. A smart Yankee by the name of Pl vmpton caught on the idea, and somehow not many years ago got out patents here and in England for them and realized a fortune. As far as I can see and remember there is not the slightest alteration from Gabriel's original skate. Crude petroleum is now used in the Brooklyn fire department engines, and the cost is said to be less than one fifth that of coal. There are also no sparks Tbe yearly consumption of meats in the United States t er capita is 120 pounds; in England. 104 pounds, France, 74 pounds, Germany 69 pounds. THU NEGRO DIALECTS. Virgin!*, Kentucky. “Cora Held,” Congo, Lonlilana, ••Hirer" and "Mulatto.” [Rev. R. H Adair in Detroit Free Praa) There are only a few dialect writers of the African lingo in the United States. Most of the dialect writers are regarded by the negroes as caricaturing them. SucL they are the quickest to beri-eive and the readiest to curse most bitterly. A negro’s perceptive organs are extremely quick, • >id personally they are the proud est people on earth. It is a fact not much known to dialect writers that there are Beven distinct dia' cts among the negroes, so that the masti. of the subject can tell a negro's origin by hearing his speech. They are as follows: Every one of these old white headed ones has seei d waited on “Jineral Wash ington ” y look upon the rest of the world a d into three classes: “white gem mens and ladies," “pore white trash, " “common niggers. ” They are as a class the most honorable and trustworthy men and women I have ever known. If you use their lingo to convey the idea of any thing low, cunuing or mean, if they could get hold of you they would hate you with a most bitter hatred. It would argue a lack of skill as a linguist. 2. The Kentucky dialect, peculiar to Kentucky and Tennessee. 3. The cornfield dialect, peculiar to the commonest and meanest negroes who have never been beyond the limits of the farm. 4. The Congo dialect, peculiar to the pore blood African and his immediate de scendants. The negro clown always ex cels in this dialect 5. The Louisiana dialect, peculiar to the negroes who have been in the possession of tbe French. It is of difficult accent 6. The river dialect peculiar to negro boatmen, “*L.erroen, etc., and which can not be written to any advantage, but which, learned for the stage, would ac quire great celebrity. 7. The mulatto, peculiar to the carriage drivers, waiting maids, negro barbers, fiddlers, dancing masters, body servants, preachers and other “ distinguished " per sons among them. To express any “po lite” idea in any other language would give these negroes as great a contempt for the writer as the high-toned high church man has for tbe ordinary exhorter. Startled dame* Gordon Hamnett, Jr. [He* York Cor Chicago Herald ] “I don t remember that I ever saw young Jim Bennett startled out of his habitual seif possession but once, ” said an old Herald mao, “and then it was by Mrs. Elisabeth Cady Stanton. The paper had that morning reported a woman suffrage convention, and in so doing characterized Mra Stanton as a ‘thieving advocate’ of the movement Bennett had just re turned from one of his long stays in Kurope, and had started in to stir up and reorganize the staff, according to his dreaded custom Mrs. Stan ton’s card came in. He sent out word for her to enter. Perhaps he meant to give, for the benefit of his editors, an exposition of how to crush a sanctum bore. But Mrs Stanton’s port quite overcame him and when she impressively asked why The Herald had called her a thief he was the shattered one he two I don’t know what vengeance she would have wreaked upon him had not an employe explained that a typographical error had been made.

A HAWAIIAN VOLCANO A VISIT TO THE SEETHING CRATER OF KILAUEA. landscape in HUo— Home of the God dee* Pele A Beaut lfull Lake- Fountaia of Blood Ked Lara —Portion* Journey. [Cor San Francisco Alta.] The next morning broke bright and clear enabled us to see exactly where we were -in a large frame house not far from the edge of a great hole in the workl from 500 to 1,000 feet deep and some nine miles in circumference. Mauna Loa, to the right, swept up from the plain 10,000 feet above us. Mauna hea, with its snowy crown, rising still higher, appeared in the northwest scarcely farther off. The atmosphere was clearer than crystaL Distances on all sides . were to the eye Rinazlngly diminished This is one reason why ivilauea fails so much at first, nature having done all her work on a gigantic scale. A trial of distances on foot soon determines this fact, and res[>ect and wonder at the scene proportionately increases. So perfectly distinguishable are objects on the further bank of the crater that the visitor is slow to believe that the distance in a straight line is more than three miles and that nine miles will hardly give its circumference Surround ing the house on all shies were deep fis sures and holes in the earth, throwing out scalding steam. Some of them were in crusted with sulphur. Others on theii banks condensed the steam into water, Which when cool is \ery fine drinking. After breakfast we prepared ourselves for a visit to the crater, and, upon asking for a guide, we were again courteously informed that none was io be had 'is they were all busy attending to his stock up on the mountain side There being no helj for it, we started by ourselves for the crater. The first descent was quite ab rupt, but the path soon became less steep and more circuitous, though uone the less fatiguing, for the last half of the way down the hank was a slippery, iudined plane. I found it very wearisome, partic ularly as we were then exposed to the con cent rates! heat from the sides and base of the crater. We found the walking firm anti struck off directly across the center ol the lake. The lava was of inky blackness and as smooth as satin, and lay about us in great coils, like ships' hawsers. Occa sionally we came upon deep cracks am: cavities of various sizes, partially covered with a thin crust 'lhe surface, gener ally, was porous for an inch or so in depth, as if formed from froth or lava. Great blocks, as perfectly quarried as i: cut by a stonemason, lay strewn about u* in great < onfusiou. The ascent into the body of the crat< r was over a rise of lave broken up or con fusedly piled together. There was no dittk-ully In surmounting this, or, indeed, in traversing the crater in any direction, beyond keeping a sharp lookout for the numerous chasms into which the lava, in cooling, splits up. We saw but few conet that were active, beyond a slight smoke or steam, and all the lakes or minor crater* and canals were black and cold. Hot air issued from a few crevices, but no othei evidence of tire could be seen. The as cent was very gradual until within half s mile of the lake, where it became more Cupt ami the lava more broken How r. there was no danger or trouble be yond a little more care in picking our way. The chasms were easily junptd oyer, or, if we found one wider and mori suspicious looking than usual we avoided it by a little detour. As we neared the fountain of this great black sea cones ap pea red dripping with sulphur and spout ing steam and fire, and a dull roar, as of a lion, greeted our ears A few more steps ami we stood on the brink of the great Lake iialemaumau. It burst upon our visions with beautiful effect, and we sat down and reveled in the scene. It was not grand, nor terrific, nor startling; it was lieautifuL I was disap pointed. I had looked for fury, tempest, and frenzy in this lake of fire. I found a terrible composure Tbe surface of the lake was incrusted with a dull, gray coat, which tbe red lava almost instantly as sumes on exposure to the air. But I was soon relieved of my disappointment, f- 1 either the wind or its own inner agony roughened its surface, ami the dull gray c oat was cut up into rivers, lakes canals, and streams of liquid lava, iuterpersed with jets and fountains, the whole in con tinued action. The entire lake was swel 1 ing and boiling with the intensity of its tires ( rust after crust of the lava, like huge masses of ice, would le rent asunder, lifted up. and then disappear in tbe fiery caldron beneath. Every minute changed the outline. The surface of tbe lake, assuming new forms and new action, wore the changeable aspect of a kaleido scope. A low, deep, hissing sound fell upon my ears as the wind, which blew it from us, occasionally lulled. Words cannot do ustice to the wierd beauty of the scene \\ e were in turns silenced by deep admiration, or loud in exclamations of delight, calling each other's attention te some new action which would be over almost as soon as it could be noticed, so rapid were the changes. As we were a)»out turning away from this scene, so remindful of the many horrors of Dante’s dream, a mighty disturliancc began in tbe ceuter of the lake. Its surface was upbeaved, and the very mountains seemed to shake and tremble with the mighty convulsion. Slowly and deliberately, as if with a set tied purpose, tbe movement began, and then, with one tremendous spring, the fountain slioi into the air a column of blood red lava fully eighty feet in height For a few seconds it hung in mid air. and then, dissolving, fell back into tbe lake with an awful, aweinspiring, fearful sound, and wallowed slowly to tbe shore, leaving the gray sea behind it lashed into a bloody foam. We turned slowly away, awed and impressed by this terrible evi dence of the magnitude of the works of nature and the omnipotent Maker of all things. What Sydney Smith Didn’t Like.

Keofmk (/ate City We have received a long private and personal letter from a prominent lowa piohibitionist saying that a certain gen tleman should not be nominated for the governorship by tbe Republicans be cause he is not a prohibitionist. The case is a very clear one to our view. The people of lowa said by a decided majority, according to their forms of law and state government and at a non partisan election that they wanted a prohibitory law of certain sub stance. The Republican party being in the majority and being the organism by which the law had tooe made properly pledged itself to carry that will into law and did it. With that its repousi bility ceased. In the platform in which !t pledged itself to make that law it said it only did so as a non-partisan law demanded by tbe people in u non partisan way. And it declared that it madu the question no lest of Republi canism The Republican partv cannot honestly or honorably bleak that word. It kept its word as to passing the law-, by the same warrant it must keep its pledge as to maintaining the no-par isauship of the law and that it shall not be a test of Republicanism. Ihe Re publican party battled on the death line to keep its word that the law should !>e made on those conditions Now no prohibitionist can honestly or honorably go to the state convention and claim that the party having at ihe peril of defeat and death passed the lion-partisan law he promises that it shall lie as to the second part of its declaration and make the law into a teat of Republicanism. For tuie we do nor propose to be a pat tv of aelf-stulti- Ucaiion and duplicity. We were in sistent that the part) should st,.;id by the j>eople’s will and pass the law. Now ihe law rests with the people. The Republican jatrty should |>erniit no test to be set up tor any man or blare on its state ticket save: Is lie a Republican? honest, uptight, capable, suitable? We, for one, shall supj-ort Heck for supreme judge, not I •era use he is a prohibitionist; liecAnse he is a Republican, honest, upright, capable, suitable. We shall supp »rt Larrulwe for governor, uot because lie is an anti prohibitionist, hut ttccnuse he is a Re publican. honest, upright, capable, suit able. And after what Republicanism lias done for prohibition, and after prte hibition struck down the Republican party m the nation in return for it last year, we would rather have the icpiih lican party in lowa broken into puces than have it yield a point more than we have indicated in this article. A Sad Death. In Philadelphia recently at a coro ner’s inquest over (he I**l v ol a child, the jury returned a verdict that death was caused hy the administration of a patent cough syrup, containing mor phia. Dr. Saiu’l K. Cox, of Washing ton, states that not one cough medicine in ten is free from this object ion. Aft er careful analysis and practical tests he endorses Heil Star Cough Cure as Wug purely vegetable-, absolutely free from opiates, poisons and narcotics. He regards it as most happy and val uable discovery. Soma Really Queer Custom*. The manners and customs of the Masai, as desciilied by Air. Joseph Thompson in the account of his recent travels in Africa, are to put it in the mildest language, most peculiar, and a whole chapter is d< voted to the de scription ot them. Their usual method of salut.on on meeting is to spit in one another's faces, and more copious the expectoration ihe greater the friend saip; aud Mr. Thompson, having l>een voted a great medicine man, was ex pected to heal diseases in this way but so great was the demand on his sal ivary organs that he could only satisfy his patients by taking repented draughts of water. Equally strange is the custom of all unmarried men and women living in villages together. While the married folks live hy themselves; these latter are allowed to eat what they like, but the unmarried ones may only eat meat and drink milk. As soon as a man marries lie ceases to lie a warrior, and has to tend the herd of cattle, lie is no more allowed to join in cattle raids, or the extermination of his neighlsirs which is continually going on, and which seems to be the greatest delight that the young Masai is capable of en joying; and it is probably because they would have to forgo the pleasures of rapine and bloodshed that these amia ble people decline entering into the state of matrimony, which after all, is a tn< re form, for virtue, as we under stand it, is unknown to them. They have certainly a kind of relig ion hut very little even of that, and seem to have no l>elief in a future, as ail dead bodies aie thrown to the hy enas, who are so encouraged bv being thus continually fed that it no one should die to provide them with a feast, they help themselves to the liv ing hy taking the children out of the huts. A Gnat Discovery. Mr. Wni. Thomas, of Newton, la., says: “My wife has been seriously af fected with a cough for twenty-five years, and this spring more severely than ever before. She had used many remedies without relief, and being urged to try Dr. King's New Discov ery, did so, with most gratifying re sults. The first bottle relumed lutr. very much, and the second has abso lutely cured her. She has not had so Sood health for thirty years.” Trial lottle Free at Green & Bentley’s Drug Store.

Many persons may not lie aware that glass can be cut under water with greatest ease, to almost any shajie, by simply using a pair of shears or strong scissors. In order to insure success, two points must be attended to—first and most iui|tortant, the glass must be kept quiet level in the water while the scissors are applied; and. secondly, to avoid risk, it is better to begin the cutting by taking of small pieces at the corners and along the edges, and to re duce the shape gradually to that re quired, for if any attempt is made to cut the glass to the shape, as we would cut a piece of card 1 man!, it will lie most likely to break just where it is not wanted. Some kinds of glass cut much better than others; the softer glass is the best Tor this purpose. The scissors need not depend on the state of the edge presented to the glass. When the operation goes on well, the glass breaks away from the sissors in small pieces in a straight line with the blades. This method of cutting glass lias often been of service, where a diamond has not been at baud for cutting ovals and segments, and though the edges are not as smooth as might be desired for sotuwpurposes. it will answer in many cases. The two hints above given, if strictly followed, will always insure success. . The gratitude of a father, when his ’offspring are relieved from disease is something touching to liehohl. Elliott Dubois, of Indanapolis, had triple cause for gratitude to the manufactur er of Mishler’s Herb Hitters, for he writes: “All my three children have been cured of worms by your biiters. It is far ahead of all the worm lozenges ever made." Scientific Note*. At the late annual general meeting of the Physical i*»ciety, London, I'D)!. Guthrie, the President, exhibited speci mens showing the similarity of fracture of Canada balsam and glass. The glass had been cracked by heating a metal ring to which it was attached; the Can ada balsam had been over-heated in a smalt dish and allowed to coo). Prof. Hois-Keymond had laid before the Physiological Society, Berlin, mon strous hoofs of horses and bovine ani mals, sent from the Falkland Islands to the Physiological Institute, which, from their massiveness, and the re curvature of the horny material, would hardly be recognised as the hoofs of the animals to which they really be longed. One of the results of recent Norwe enn explorations in Spitsbergen Seen the discovery of several ifriand* to the east of King Ksrl or Wiche I*nd. It seems that the year 1884 was a re markable one for ice In fnr latitudes. All the aumtntr a belt of land ice blocked the west side of Spitsbergen, but the usually impeded east side was exceptionally open, thus, indicating that the position of such ioe obstruction depends mostly on the direction of the prevailing winds.
