Tim Sullivan, a produce peddler, was in a bad fix yesterday afternoon and for a while it looked as if he would loge his horse and wagon. He was on the “Patch” and while delivering goods, his horse wandered up the steep bank. As Tim came from the house, he saw hig horse and wagon roll like a hoop down the bank and into a ditch, To . make matters worse, one side of the ditch was a stone wall and on the other was a small house, the latter being in danger of being demolished. Men, women and children lent a hand, and after two hours’ hard work, the horse was taken out of the ditech and the wagon tixed up.

That there is one boy In the Sprague ville school who obeys his parents was illustrated by an ircident which oc curred there the other day. Two boys, the eldest not more than 7 years old, had o fight in which the youngest came off best, Doth, however, went into the school room crying, and on the teacher inquiring the causge, the story of the fight was related. ““Why did you strike him?”" she asked of the youngest, “rCause he seratched my nose” he re plied. “Yes; but that was two or three daysg ago. Why did you strike him to day?” asked the teacher. “'Cause iy mamma told me,” he sald, with a burst of tears, 'The teagher turned away to hide a smiile, and then with a few words of advice gent the boys to their places, There is every evidenee that a beauti ful crop of ice will be cut in the town thig yvear., Already a large amount has bheen taken from the Sprague pond. The ice is from 12 to 16 inches thick. There is no eontroversy as to which fire company arrvived first at the recent fire, ag has been stated. Only Arling ton companies torned out, and state ments to the contrary have been made by those who were not present, A comical incident which happened dur ing that exciting time i 8 worth relating. While the men were working getting out the burning feather bed a man pushed hig way upstairs, He was warned to clear out, but did not do so in timme, and when in the middle of the stairs the mass struck him and carrvied him to the bottom, when ne extricated Wimerlf, but was a funny sight, He c¢arried home with him a good many feathers as a 4 memento, 1t is time that the citizens of West Arlington awoke to a sense of their vights, and a meeting to try and secure hydrants for the protection of their property is a move in the right direc tion.

PROVIDENCE, R. 1.. FRIDAYMJANUARY 13. 1899. He Made a Quick Changs of Nama - Experiences in A man who quickly changed his name was taken into custody by Officer Mathewson of the Second station yos terday noon. The man had a big roll of silk on his arm which he had tried to pawn at Sundalovitch’'s shop on Charles street., He told the proprietor of the shop that his naune was Mike Smith and that he was a carpenter by trade, After falling to secure anything on the silk he fell into the hands of the officer, He sald his name was John King and that he was a peddler who Was gent up by Chief of Detectives Parker to cateh Sundaloviteh, who had no pawn broker's license, in an illegal act. The officer took Smith or King to the station. The man's story was false in every particular for there is not in the city a 4 manu more careful in living up to the regulations. concerning his business than Mr, Sundalovitch, When the man had slept off his dream he was charged with being indeedntly drunk and sent 1o the Police Court thig morn ing There was a large audience prescnt in the Sunday school rooms of St Thomuas church to hear a most inter esting talk given by Rev, Mr. Edwards, rector of the church, on invitation of the vestry, on his experiences in the Turkish Empire, The talk was proba bly as interesting an entertainment as ever glven by those in charge of the many excellent entertainments given by this church., This is saying a good deal, for some of the entertainments given in the past have been most merit orfous ones. Rev, Mr., Edwards is bright, clever and interesting talker. His wit is spontaneous and he used his eyes and ears evidently to the best ad vantage in his travels, His talk lasted an hour and a half and therg was not a dull moment during that period, His descriptions of the city of Constaniino ple were very vivid and to his audience extremely delighted with his descrip tions of weaving and spinning in the far East, 'The rector brougnt from the Kast some fine costumes and last night these were worn by young men and young women of the Sunday school and the appearance of these young folks caused lotg of laughter and applause, Prof. Barnes gave piano selections in his usual fine manner before the talk. Ice cream and cake were served and Rev., Mr. Edwards' curiosities were carefully inspected, Mrs. Catherine Hogue, who keeps a little variety store on Bates street, last night had a bad scare. A man went into her store and bought a piece of tobacco, About the same time a man outside acted strangely. This excited Mrs, Hogue's suspicions and she re ported the affair to the police, but noth ing more was heard of any suspicious characters in the distriet, Two truants were arrested by local police officers on complaint of the tru ant officer, One drunk was also cared for, Vineyard Haven, Mass., Jan. 13— The barge Falcon, which was wrecked here during the gale of November 27, has been floated by the Merritt and Chapman Wrecking Company after lightering about 300 tons of coal, The barge will be towed to New Bedford to digcharge the remainder of her cargo.

PECULIAR XIND OF DISSIPATION, When the Mercury is Below Zero a Mouth ful of Snow Is Like Molten Metal. WRECKS SYSTEM OF THE STRONG. Habit Easily Formed but Vory Difficult 1o Break Off, Fate of a Miner Who Turned From a Whisky to a Snow Tipple. Every great discovery in the world's higtory has brought with it an accom panying aflietion, and it has remained for the Klondilke Lo develon a peculiar mania that threatens to outrival opivm cating, Among the residents ?&be far North it is known as the “snow habit,” and it is said to be mcurable. Henry Barnum of Great Bend township has returned from the Klondike, and tells the strange story, says tne Cleveland Plain Dealer. “There are many strange things in th: Klondike,” said Mr. Barnum, “but perhaps the strangest and that about which nothing has been written so far is the dissipation caused by eating snow. In the north, when the ther mometer reaches 20 to 40 degrees below zero, o mouthtful of snow is like molten metal. It brings an inflammation to the palate and tongue, and it is impos #ible to quench the thirst., The first advice an old-timer offers a 4 newcomer in the region is, ‘Don't eat snow.’ There are men ine that country, once hearty, robust miners, now weak, ef feminate creatures, whose fall can be traced directly to the time they began munching snow, “The matter has been Dut little in vestigated, but the scientists who have examined the subject say that the waters of the North are rich with min eral deposits, which are being con stantly washed down from the moun tains, A certain per cent, of this min eral is taken into the air when vapor arises, and the snow becomes impreg nated with it, There have been geveral falls of red snow near Point Barrow, the deposits being of a reddish brown color, due entirely to minerals. Thus it can be seen that a person eating large quantities of the snow takes into his system a corresponding amount of minerals.” While coming down the Copper River last spring Mr. Barnum came upon a party of miners where one was dying from the effects of cating snow, He had been 4 hard drinker, but had run short of whiskey. His thirst became unen durable, and as water was scarce in midwinter he had taken to eating snow, Soon he claimed it relieved his appetite for liguor, but his companions noticed that his appetite for snow increased until he was consuming enormous quantities, Gradually his skin, which was a dark bronze, grew light, his rugged stature became bent, and even his harsh voice changed to the effemin ate squeak of an old woman, His gtrength gave way, and his compan jonsg tried to break him of the habit. He would lie on his pallet and moan pitifully for a mouthful of snow, and when opportunity offered would steal unobserved to the doorway and gulp down huge handfuls, At last, seeing death was inevitable, his companions allowed him the snow, hoping to pro long his life. It proved unavailing, and one morning just previous to Mr, Barnum’'s departure the man was found dead. There are some spols on the Copper Niver where the snow, when melted and strained throuzh a «¢loth, shows perceptible signs of minerals, and often gold is found plentifully intermixed, but, of course, not in paying quanti ties. “Vhere this comes (rom 18 4 myss tery, but it may be brougint from the far north by the heavy winter gales that sweep over this part of the coun try. It has been said that if the snow could be melted awayv it would leave deposits of millions of dollars in gold dust on the ground. Mr, Barnum had « close call himself from falling a victim to the snow habit, “It was lin the winter of 18%4- 97" he puld, "and 1 was new 1o the country, Amn old miner near Dawson had warned me against eating snow, but 1, with my partner, had gone back in the hills on a prospecting tour, and had got caught in a blizzard, We were shy of provisions, and on our way up lost the package containing our cook ing utensils, This we remedied by broiling our cooked foods, but we had nothing in which to melt the snow, It is claimed that melted snow is harmless asx the metallic deposits it contains sink to the bottom of the receptacle, We decided to try it raw,” and we did. Whether it was the {ood or the snow, 1 don't know: but during the week we walted for a chance 1o get out we had on ever-increasing thirst, until, when we were finally able to strike the trail, we wore consuming snow at a frightful rate, When we reachel our companions we attempted to assuage our thirst with water, but it did no good, We had acauired a taste tor the trozen water, and It seemed to have invigorating qualities, At night we con@ not sleep unlegs we took our snow, We were fast approaching the degenerate stage, when 1 reached a realizing sense of our con dition, and undertook to break it off, 1 hegan by degrees and worked down but up to the very moment ! left the coun try the sight of snow always raired in me an inordinets craving, It cest me many sleeplesg nights and weary daye to restrain mveelf. liad I given wayv to the habit, T would live many another noor fellow, have lost o'l ambition and filled an unknown grave in that frozen wildernessg,'' n AFTER GRIP There is no denying the serious fact that there is a great amount of sickness from the grip ; that over worked men and women now suffer more than at any other time of the yvear from lassitude, headaches, slight chills and fever and other symptoms of mperfect health; that people fall s.icjz more * readily now than at any other time of the year; and that whenever an epidemic does appear it invariably plays havoc with those who are run down and out of condition. The utmost caution should be taken to keep the blood pure and the nervous system in healthy tone. There is no more excuse for the prevalent symptoms of stagnant, impure blood in the body than there is for the barbarism of filthy streets in a city. The relaxed and sluggish action of the excretory organs loads the body with waste material that poisons it and brings on head aches, rheumatic pains, sleepless nights and profitless days, due solely to the circulation in the blood, or depeosit in the tissues, of these waste matters which Paine’s celery compound alone will quickly drive out. When the arms, hips or back feel the twinges of acute rheuma tism it is high time to relieve the kidnevs and bladder f{rom the strain that so often brings on Bright's discase, gravel, dropsy and complications of discases with other organs whose health depends upon the purity of the blood. Prompt use of Paine’s celery com pound will save the weakened parts from yielding to disease. In its peculiar ability to invig orate the body, to make new blood and to regu'ate the aerves, lies the great value of Paine’s celery com pound in all wasting diseases aud disorders of the kidneys, liver and stomach. Paine’s celery compound rescues shaky, enfecbled nerves from pros tration and removes that feeling of utter exhaustion that causes so much despondency among so many worried men and women. It makes flesh, blood and strong 11erves. Paine's celery compound is not a patent medicine! It is not the discovery of some quack doctor of whom his profession never heard; it is not a concoction put up by some man who first invented a name, and then adopted a prepa ration to fit it; it is not a seggpt remedy. ; USE OF SMOKELESS POWDER. Theie Was Little Cal For il Before the Recent War Now lts Usefulnass Raalzed. People have heard more about sinoke less powder gince the beginning of hos tilitles between Spain and the United Statesg than they ever knew since its existence as o factor in warfare or as a source of great satisfaction to the sportsmen. Smokeless, or nitro powder, ig far more extensively manufactured in this country than onc would sup poge, since the army and navy were very short on the supply necessary to the requirements of the big guns. In fact, very little of the smokeless pow der was used by the navy or the field batteries of our army. “Notwithstanding the fact that for elgn manufacturers of smokeless pow der were better supplicd at the time we began to lay in =upplies of it than the American makers, there are dozens of smokeless powder mills in Amer fea,” says George H. Rawlings, who has handled the nitro powder ever gince it was Introduced for shotguns and rifles. “American makers of smokelesa powders had not paid a great deal! of attention to the manufacture of it for use lin guns of larger calibre, like the armament of the navy or the cannons of the land forces, but America leads the world in the making of nitro pow der for sporting purposes, “The first attempt In this country at experimenting in the compounding of chemicals for the wunm.ot wood powmu made In 3t By &n oid an named Doide. Delde put in much of his spare time in experi menting with smokeless powder, and lost several fAngers in hig efforts to petiv e the |»lfi"|"”l “Ow Hye different occasions the per But it is, first, the result of the lifelong study of the greatest phy sician America has produced, a man whose reputation was world wide years before he had ever ar rived at this formula which has done so much good; a man who has received the highest degrees from the best colleges, who was at the time of his discovery a pro fessor at Dartmouth and a lecturer in other universities, a scholar, a member of a family which has made its mark in every depart ment of public life in America. It is a remedy the formula of which has been furnished to physicians in good standing always,and which physicians were prescribing long before the present manufacturers putit up for public distribution it was discovered by Prof. Edward E. Thelps, M. D., LL. D., and was first prescribed with wonderful success by that eminent group of practitioners who have ::ade American physicians known the world over, and of whom he was then as mnow, undoubtedly the most {amous. The best test that can be ap plied to Paine’'s celery compound 1s to use it. If one is “ruudowu,“"fceis with out energy, lifeless, useless, fret ful, take this great remedy, and note the change. Constipation will no longer give one a disquiet ing thought ; the appetite will come back ; sleeplessness and headaches will be things of the past. This is the experience of of men and women in every part of the country. General good health depends upon the perfect action of the nervous currents, the vigor of the circulation and the quality of the blood. The history of Paine's celery compound has been made familiar to every intelligent household in the land. lln the clearest and most direct maunner conscientious men and women have told their rapid recovery from disease by the use of this remedy. Paine’s celery compound is un approached by any other remedy for restoring the nervouWd system when broken down or impaired from over exertion of mind or body. It strengthens the digestive powers, renews the blood and acts in the vitalizing, curative, thor ough manner that makes it the grandest help to suffering men and women the world of medicine af fords. sigtent old inventor went away to his improvised laboratory, and afte; sov eral hours’ work would return minus a finger, During the yvears he labored to perfect the smokeless powder he man aged to have five tingerg hlown off, but he did not gseem digecouraged, and final ly made a powder that was smokeless, but it would take a torchlight proces sion 1o ignite the stuff when In a gun or in shells,.

All shells had to be primed with black powder in order to ignite the Ditmar quickly. “The Schuliz powder, which was made in Europe, found itg way to this country, and it gave such universal satisfaction and the demand became so great that the company came with his plant to this country. The Schultz was a very strong shooting powder and as quick as ths black article. “The 8. 8. and some other makes of smokeless powders have paszed out of the market, but plenty other brands took their places.
