A Widely Prevalent Malady.

While It 1b perfectly true that swamp vapors, morning and evening mist* along the banks of •low, winding, tnrbld streams and the effluvium exhaled by the sun from moist and decaying vegetables beget malaria, it frequently breaks ont where no such conditions exist. It Is, in fact, a malady widely prevalent, of which it is in many cases impossible to discover the origin. But though its causes are often obscure, the testimony, professional and pnblio, of the inhabitants of America and other lands leaves no reasonable donbt not only that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters uproots this tenacious disease when fnlly developed, bnt fortifies the system against its first attacks. Chills and fever, bilious Intermittent, dumb ague, and ague all yield to it alike. Liver trouble, always present in malarial disorder, dyspepsia, constipation, and kidney complaint suocumb to the Bitters.

A Penny.

A penny is the most ancient of English coins. The word was originally used for money in general. It is first mentioned in the laws of Ina, King of the West Saxons, about the close of the seventh century, and was of silver deeply indented with a cross so as to be easily broken in two or four parts. It is the radical denomination from which English coin is numbered, weighing twenty-two and one-half grains troy, being the 240th part of a pound. It is stated elsewhere that Ethelbert, King of Kent, coined pennies between 560 and 616 A. D. Edward I. coined gold pennies. In 1797 copper pennies were used, and bronze ones in 1860, valued at half the copper ones. The United States coined copper cents and half cents in 1793, in 1857 a nickel cent, and in 1865 a bronze cent. The word penny is derived from the old German word “pfant,” a pledge. It was the only coin current among the Anglo-Saxons. After Edward 111. the coin decreased in value. To the lowest coin Robert Morris gave the name of “cent,” because it was the 100th part of a dollar. Its first coinage was in 1793.—5 t. Louis Globe-Democrat.

“Piso’s Cure the Best Ever Known.”

You may put my testimonial in your Almanac and say that I think “Piso’s Cure for Consumption” is the best medicine on this earth for bronchitis and lung trouble. I am now in the drug business, and I will tell my customers if they want a cough cure to use “Piso’s. ’’ I will recommend it to other people if they send to me for advice, and will tell them what it has done for me.

A Pair of Rare Gats.

Stephen Schreiber has two beautiful Bpecimens of coon cats brought from the interior of Maine. The cats arc peculiar in that the female is pure white and has a large bushy tail, resembling that of a coon. The male is a big fellow, marked with dark colors, and bavins' large eyes and heavy tufts of hair on his cheeks, which stand out quite prominently. The species is very rare and seldcm seen in this part of the country. The male is about one year old and the female only about six months. They are very docile and friendly, hut when they engage in a contest with ordinary domestic cats the latter have but little" show. The mala measures fully 34 feet from tip to tip and weighs about fourteen pounds.

They Draw a Great Quantity.

Roots draw enormous quantities of moisture from the soil and by this means it is discharged into the atmosphere. For example, the common sunflower was found to exhale twelve ounces of water in twelve hours, and an oak tree with an estimated number of 700,000 leaves wculd in the same way give off something like 700 tons of water during the five months it carries its foliage. Edison prefers to hire women to carry out the details of his electrical inventions, and credits them with more quickness and insight about the mysteries of machinery than men have. He is credited with saying that women “have more sense about machinery in one minute than men have in a whole lifetime,” and proves the sincerity of his'faith by keeping 200 women on his pay-roll.

LAIS IN THE TOMB.

Remains of Chicago's Murdered Mayor at Rest. PARADE OF THE DEAD. A MOST IMPOSING FUNERAL CORTEGE. Military and Civic Organizations and Thrones of Citizens—Crowds So Dense as to Block the Passage of the Procession for Hours—Services Conducted in the Church of the Epiphany—Mo it I mpressive Ceremonies Ever Accorded a Civilian— Beantifnl Music and Flowers—Burial at Graceland. With all the manifestations of sorrow and regret that could be thown by a great city to its murdered executive, the remains of Carter H. Harrison were borne on Wednesday to the beautiful city of the dead on the northern outskirts of Chicago. By general consent, although there was no one in authority to issue the necessary proclamation, business throughout city was generally suspended. The city and county offices were closed throughout the day, and the public buildings, as well as scores of business houses and private residences along the route traversed by

the cortege on the way to Graceland Cemetery, were draped with emblems of woe.- The procession itself was long and imposing. Besides the city officials, the members of the City Council, the Board of Education and other municipal bodies, the thousands of personal friends of the dead Mayor and many civic, fraternal and semi-military bodies appeared in line. Nothing was lacking to give pomp, ceremony and impressiveness to the obsequies of the man for whom not only Chicago, hut tens of thousands scattered far and wide, were in mourning. Tuesday morning at ten o'clock the casket containing the remains was conveyed under escort frem the family residence on Ashland boulevard to the City Hall. The casket was met at the La Salle street entrance of the public building by the members of the City Council. These, walking two and two, preceded it through the corridors to the center of the rotunda on the main floor, where it was placed on a magnificent catafalque. Here, beneath a

Harrison, and past his bier filed for hours two lines of his mourning fellow-citizens, at the rate of 5,000 per hour. « Miles of Monrners. At 10 o’clock Wednesday morning

the doors were closed against the throng that still filed through the building and the casket under the escort of the same committee selected for service the day before was returned to the house on Ashland avenue. Here, for the brief space of half an hour, the members of the bereaved family were left alone with their honored dead. In the meantime the funeral procession formed on the boulevard fronting the residence, and at the hour of noon the casket was borne for the last time down the graveled walk so often traversed by the dead man in the score or more of years that the mansion has been his home. Then the cortege, several miles in length, began to move to the Church of the Epiphany, at Ashland avenue and Adams street. At its heftd, mounted on coal black chargers, rode Superintendent of Police Brennan, tho marshal of the day; ex-Chief of Police Doyle, as assistant marshal, and Police Inspectors. Hunt, Schaaok, Roes and Lewis. Next in line came five carriages, occupied by the gentlemen who had been requested by tho family to act as honorary pail bearers. This is the list: Thomas W. Palmer, Harlow N. Higinbotham, Major General Nelson A. Miles, ex-Gov-ernor Richard J. Oglesby, Ford W. Peck, Judge Lyman Trumbull, Fred H. Win: t )n, Gen. Charles Fitz-Simons, H. J. Jones, C. C.

Eight active pallbearers, police captains and fire marshals, marched on each side of the funeral carriage, and the Chicago Hussars, under Captain Brand, rode In double column on the outside of the pallbearers. Following the hearse were carriages containing the immediate relatives, the City Council and officials, county, State and national

officials in order of precedence, the rear being brought up by civic and military organizations and citizens on foot. Three Chicago regiments of the the National Guard and a detachment of United States troops participated in the procession. Slowly the cortege proceeded down the boulevard to the church. When the arched entrance was reached the casket was borne up the aisle to the sanctuary railing by the pallbearers. The funeral service was conducted after the regular form of the Episcopal Church, Rev. T. N. Morrison, Jr., being the officiating clergyman. He also delivered a brief address. After the benediction had been pronounced the procession reformed, and headed by the lowa State Band, took up the march of the dead to Graceland cemetery. The crowd along the road to Graceland was as great as in the central ptortion of the city. No such outpouringof the public has been seen in Chicago.

The co-operative glass works at Beaver Falls, Pa., were blown up by

gas. The loss is several thousand dollars. The schooner F. W. Elmer was lost in the great storm on the Gulf of Mexico and the crew was lost. Mrs. Eldoba J. Schofield, who was awarded the diamond prize in the New England beauty show in 1885, was granted a divorce at Providenoe, R. L, from Broker John H. Schofield, of Chicago.

Notes of Current Events.

REPEAL BILL A LAW.

Voorhees Measure Signed by the President. FIGHT IS AT AN END. Closing Scenes in the House Were Quiet. * Bouse Concurs In the Senate BUI for Unconditional Repeal by Vote of 193 to 94 President Cleveland Puts the Finishing Touch on the Measure That Has Been So Long Before Congress—Text of the Voorhees Substitute for the Wilson Bill as Enacted. The unconditional repeal bill is now the law of the land. Since Aug. 7 Congress has beeu in extra session, and in all that time it had teen trying to pass a bill repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver law. Wednesday it succeeded, and the Voorhees bill, which was substituted by the Senate for the House measure, is now a law. The measure which has engrossed tho attention of Congress and tho entire country for the last three months reached its last legislative stage early in the afternoon when the House of Representatives concurred in the Senate amendment by tho decisive vote of 193 to 94. When the original bill passed the House Aug. 28 the vote s tood 201 to 100, so that, although the total vote on Wednesday was smaller, the proportion was practically the same. The final vote was taken at 2:50 p. m. The bill was ongroseed immediately, and twenty minutes later, at 3:10, the formal announcement was made to the Senate that its amendment had been agreed to by the House. The bill was hurriedly enrolled by Chairman Pearscn of the Committee on Enrolled Bills, and at 3:30 was presented to Speaker Crisp for his signature. A fleet-footed messenger carried it to the Senate, where it was signed two minutes later by Vico President StevenBon. Chairman Pearson, with the bill undor his arm, entered a carriage waiting for him on the plaza in front of the Capitol and drove rapidly to the White Home.

Sis:n«d by the President. The President had been kept duly advised of the progress of events. Indeed, he manifested so muoh interest in the vote in the House that at his request a duplicate of the names of those who had voted for and against the concurrence was made soon after the rollcall was completed and this list was lying on his desk when'Mr- Pearsen arrived with the bill. Secretary Carlisle, Attorney General Olney and Private Secretary Thurber were present. After felicitating with each other for a few moments the President took up the engrossed copy of tho bill and leid it aloud. Then picking up a quill pen he affixed his autograph at 4:25. And thus eighty-five days four hours and twenty-five minutes after the extraordinary session convened the remedy for tne financial distress which Mr. Cleveland demanded in his message was applied, and the greatest parliamentary struggle ever known was ended. The bill as passed is as follows: That so much of the act approved .Tuly H. 1890, entitled "An act directing tho purchase of silver bullion and Issue of Treasury notes thereon and for other purposes." and directing the Seoretary of the Treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 1.h00.000 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered In each month at the market price thereof, not exceeding fl for 371 26-100 grains of pure silver, and to issue in payment for such purchases treasury notes of the United States, be and the same is hereby repealed. And it Is hereby deolared to be the polioy of tho United States to oontlnne the use of both gold and sliver as standard money, and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, such equality to be secured through International agreement, or by snch safeguards of legislation ns will Insure the maintenance of parity in value of coins of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times In the markets and In the payment of debts. And It Is hereby further declared that the efforts of the Government should be steadily directed to the establishment of such a safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or Issued by the United States iu the markets and in the payment of debts.

High Art.

In a decorative ago all sorts of things become decorative. The Detroit Free Press reports that a colored man went into a grocery in that city not long ago, and asked the proprietor if he had any burlap lying about the shop. “Yes," said the grocer, “I’ve got a few coffee sacks, but they are old and in pretty bad shape." “Dat's all de better, sah. I want ’bout four of ’em." The grocer brought them out, and the negro looked round the shop. “Has you any pieces of rope to spare?” he asked. “I want about fifty feet.” A tangled lot of old cord and rope was handed to him. “Going to pack something for moving?” asked the grocer. “No, sah. My wife was workin’ fer a lady on High street de odder day, an’ she cotched on to a new idea. She’s gwine to use dis stuff, ’long wid a few suspender buckles an' shoe-strings, to make a pianer-kiver.” “Land! but what a cover that will make!” “Dat’s what I done tole her, but she brung home all de in her mind, an’ she’s boun’ to turn one out. If you h’ar of anybody as wants a twenty-five-dollar pianer-kiver, homemade an’ chuck full of art, jes’ le’ me know. ”

King and Little Girl.

When I Was a little girl, says the daughter of a former minister, my father was sent abroad to represent our country at the Danish oourt. Naturally I accompanied my family, and as court etiquette was not especially strict I was permitted, soon after our arrival at Copenhagen, to attend a lather informal afternoon function at the palace. I had brought with me from America very exaggerated ideas of the magnificence of a court, and I confess that the absence of pomji and splendor on this occasion was disappointing to me. I was left, too, a good deal to my own devices. The queen and the ever-charm-ing crown princess had graciously engaged my mother in conversation, and my father was occupied with somo gentlemen of the court. I soon tired of walking quietl v about the salon, and becoming somewhat disgusted with my first glimpse of royal socioty, I curled down in a big chair to wait until it should be time for us to go homo. The hum of voices made me drowsy, and I soon fell asleep. The next thing that I was conscious of was a hand on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw my fatherstanding beside me, and with him a tall, fine-looking gentleman whom I did not recognize.. , d “O papa,” I cried, without ceremony. “Is this really a court? Why, I can’t!, keep awake!" “Elizabeth!” said my father, in a rather severe tono, “this is the king;.” But I was already half-asleep again, and instead of rising and making my reverence, as I had been taught to do on meeting strangers, I tucked my hand under my cheek for greater comfort, and murmured drowsily: “Please, Mister King, go away and don’t ’turb Elizabeth. And the king went away, taking mv shocked father with him. Nor would his majesty permit my father to reprimand me for my lack of courtesy.— Youth’s Companion.

The Union Pacific Railway.

The financial condition of the Union Pacific Railway Company as revealed in the appointment of receivers for its property brings sharply to the public attention once more tne question of dealing with the sultsidy bonds granted to the company by the Government. These are United States bonds, but the company was plodged to their payment, principal and interest. The amount granted to the roads in the Uniori Pacific system exceeds $33,500,000, and thoy all fall due in the next six years. 'Not only has the company made no provision for the redemption o' the bonds at maturity, but it has fallen in arrears in the payment of interest to the extent of nearTy’olß,ooo,000, makiqg the total obligation over $51,000,000. These bonds constitute a lien on the property of the company, but it is subsequent "to tha first mortgage, which secures its own enormous funded debt. The provisions of law requiring certain payment t to be made on account of the subsidy have proved wholly inadequate to keep up with the interest on the bonds, wnich the Government has to pay, and every effort herelofore made in behalf of refunding and extending the obligations has failed. The question of what is to bo done will have to engage the attention of Congress again when It finds itself in a position to resume the functions of legislation.—New York Times.

Subduing a Polar Bear.

Settling family quarrels in a household like that of Bidel, the French lion-tamer, was no trifling matter. One day, in the midst of an exercise by tho wild animals, the pola* bear became angry, and attackod an Innocent elephant. The elephant showed no surprise, but prepared to destroy his assailant. Bidel, however, hastened to interpose. The boar released the elephant, andi hugging Bidel in his long arms, to strangle him. But for his wonderfuli self-possession Bidel would have been lost. He had stout, solid fists, and he pounded them on the bear’s nostrils, until tho animat relaxed his grip. Then ho wrenched himself free, and gave the bear a vigorous beating with a stout Btiok. In a few moments all was quiet again.

Too Cordial. At a sanitarium in Now York the utmost cordiality is shown to arriving guests. As soon as a visitor sets foot over the threshold he is met by some one especially detailed for that duty, and made to fool “at home.’! One night, just before the carriage was due from the station, a patient was rallying the “receiver” in ordinary on the lightness of her duties. “I don’t think you have much to do," said she. “I am sure I could go forward and meet people just exactly as well, and 1 haven’t had any practice, eithor." “Very well,” said the other; “try it.” “So I will,” was the reply. “I’ll try it to-night.” “Ah, but there’s nobody coming tonight!” Just then the carriage rolled up to the door, and both saw that a gentleman was seated within. The “receiver,” who had been merely in jest, Started forward with her usual alac--11 ity, but the patient merrily held her , 1 'ack. “No," said she, “I’m going. Now vatch me and see if I’m cordial enough.” She hastened forward with both hands outstretched. She threw her arms about the gentleman’s neck. She kissed him. “Miss ,’’ she said, turning back to her shocked and astonished friend, who could hardly belijvo the evidenoe of her eyes, “allow me to , introduce — my hutband!” Fact«_ .AJtout Aluminum. ■ There at many misconceptions about aluminum that are widespread and Which it difficult Jo correct in the public mind.
