He Win Hot Brown Himself. (From the Troy, N. Y., Times.) R. W. Edwards, of Lanslngburgh, was prostrated by sunstroke during: the war and it has entailed on him peculiar and serious consequences. At present writing Mr. E. lis a prominent officer of Post Lyon, G. A. R., Cohoes. and a past aid-de-campon the staff of the commander-in-chief of Albany Co. In an interview with a reporter, he said: "I was wounded and sent to the hosipital at Winchester. They sent me together with others to Washington a ride of about 100 miles. Having no room in the box cars we were placed face up on the bottom of flat cars. The sun beat down apon our unprotected heads. When 1 reached Washington I was insensible and was unconscious for ten days while in the hospital. An abscess gathered In my ear and broke; it has been gathering and breaking ever since. The result of this 100 mile ride and sunstroke, mam, neart disease, nervous prostration, insomnia and rheumatism; a completely shattered system which gave me no rest night or day. As a last resort I took some Pink PUJa and they helped me to a wonaerful degree. My rheumatism is gone, my heart failure, dyspepsia, .and constipation are about gone and the abscess in my ear has stopped -discharging and my head feels as clear as a bell when before It felt as though it would burst and my once shattered nervous system is now nearly sound. Look at those fingers," Mr. Edwards said, do they look as if there was any rheumatism there?" He moved his fingers rapidly and freely and strode about the room like a young boy. "A year ago those fingers were gnarled at the joints and so stiff that I could not hold a pen. My knees would swell up and I could not straighten my leg out. My Joints would squeak when I moved. "I cannot begin to tell you," said Mr. Edwards, as he drew a lone

breath, '"what my feeling is at present. I think if you lifted ten years right off my life and left me prime and vigorous at forty-seven I could feel no better. I was an old man and could only drag myself painfully about the house. Now I can walk off without any trouble. That in itself," continued Mr. Edwards, "would be sufficient to give me cause for rejoicing, but when you come to consider that I am no longer what you might call nervous and that my heart is apparently nearly healthy and that I can sleep nights you may realize why I may appear to speak in extravagant praise of Pink Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take that awful pressure from my head and at the same time enrich my blood. There seemed to be no circulation in my lower limbs a year ago, my legs being cold and clammy at times. Now the circulation there is as full and as brisk as at any other part of my body. I used to be so light-headed and dizzy from my nervous disorder that I frequently fell while crossing the floor of my house. Spring is coming and Z never felt better in my life, and I am looking forward to a busy season of work." Not for An Women. " It isn't every woman who can wear flowers. She may admire them very much, but if she be one of the warmblooded sort she can't adorn herself with them. Upon her they will wilt and wither after the first few moments of wearing, while upon a woman of cooler pulse they will remain fresh and erect for hours. It's an interesting sight at a dinner party to watch the fate of the flowers that each guest finds beside her plate. Every woman pins them in theiit freshness and beauty to her bodice, but not every woman is able to keep that freshness and beauty intact. Carnations themselves will fade and droop upon a plump, high-colored woman before the bouillon is finished, while upon some pale, slender creature the most ragile roses are still crisp and upstanding by the time dessert comes around. Educate Vocr Daughters l At this season of the year parents have to decide upon and select the educational institution which their daughters are to attend for the coming years. In this connection, we desire tp call attention to the educational announcement in our advertising columns of the Academy of the Sacred Heart, St. Joseoh. Mo. Their buildings and grounds are aiiracuvtj, loceuuy ucaumui, leaguing In ali branched thorough, and terms reasonable. Parents fortunate to select this school for the education and training of their daughters will, we are sure, be fully satisfied. Next session opens Sept. 3, 1895. For further information address Mother Superior, Academy of the Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, Mo. . . Circulation. The blood and respiration are the source of man's natural warmth, and any excess in these brings discomfort and disease. The heart sends ten pounds of blood through the arteries and veins at each beat, and it beats four times while we take one breath, and every extra ten beats of the heart beyond the normal standard in the adult, say seventy-six per minute, give one extra degree of temperature above the normal and in a man a continued pulse over this number means extra heat and a cause for it, and If this cause goes on increasing we soon find evidences of distress and fever. WINTER WHEAT, SO BUSHELS FEB ACBE! Did you ever hear of that? Well there are thousands of farmers who think they will reach this yield with Salzer's new hardy Red Cross Wheat. Rye 60 bushels per acre! Crimson Clover at $3.60 per bushel. Lots and lots of grass and clover for fall seeding. Cut this out and send to John A. Salzer Seed co., La Crosse, Wis., for fall catalogue and sample of above wheat free. (W.N.U.) Dancing by the Mile. An average waltz takes one over three-quarters of a mile, a square dance makes you cover half a mile, and a galop equals a good mile. Count up for yourself how much the girl with a wellfilled program traverses in an evening. Twenty dances la the average, you know. Of these about twelve are waltzes. There at once are nine miles. Three galops and she has done twelve miles. Five other dances at a half m51e apiece bring her to fifteen miles, to say nothing of the intermission stroll and the trips to the dressing-room to renovate one's gown and complexion.

YOUNG TONSORIAL WONDER. IaU Spar, 11 Tears Old, Can Shave Like a Veteran. There have been infant musical prodigies, theatrical prodigies and bicycle prodigies, and now a tonsorial prodigy has loomed up in the child world. He is Louis Spar, an 11-year-old bey who for six months past has been acting as a full-fledged journeyman barber in his father's shop, in the basement of No. 176 Seventh avenue, says a New York exchange. Louis's talent is inherited. His father is an expert with razor and brush, as was his father before him. When the Spar family came here from Sicily two years ago Louis was sent to school and quickly became Americanized. But after school hours he spent all his time in the barber shop watching his father's deft movements. When custom increased Spar let the boy lather the waiting customers. As Louis was only about a yard high it was necessary to provide him with a chair on which to stand while he wielded the brush. One day a customer fell asleep while the boy was lathering him, and when he awoke Louis was making the last sweep of a keen-edged razor over his face. The boy's reputation was made at once. Gradually he widened his

field of activity. Shampooing was hard work at first for the little fellow, whose arms were not very strong, but he acquired muscle and experience by diligent practice on a woolly-headed dog, that has since become the canine dude of Seventh avenue. Hair-cutting was a more difficult thing to master for a small boy, whose little fingers could hardly encompass the handles of a clipping machine. He tried to impress the woolly-haired dog again, but the dog objected, and Louis substituted the members of his family and obliging customers. He is now an expert in all the branches that go to make up the tonsorial art, and his fame has grown until he has built up a clientele of his own. Louis has also mastered the various tricks of his trade. He can talk a baldheaded customer into taking a shampoo, sell hair tonic to a long-haired man, and gets twice as many tips as his father's older assistants. He will confide in you the fact that your skin is tender, boasts that he never cut a customer's face, and avoids talking about the weather and politics. The Value of Minutes. A party of ladies and gentlemen were lately visiting a large carpet factory, and the manager took them over the different floors of the establishment. On ascending one of the staircases they came to a locked door, on which the following inscription was painted in white letters: "Strangers not admitted under any circumstances." The curiosity of the ladies was excited to a high pitch, and they inquired almost in one breath, "Whatever is to be seen inside?" "That is one of our workrooms, in which 150 women are employed in embroidering carpets," answered the manager. "Oh, how we should just like to have a peep at them," exclaimed the ladles. I am sorry I cannot comply with your wish," said the gentleman, with a shrug of his shoulders, "but our rules do not admit of the slightest exception. Truth to say, and there is nothing special to be seen, nor is there any question of trade secrets. The reason why admission is forbidden to strangers Ls iippiy because every worn an naturally looks up and her atte.1a!.on is distracted from her work for from one to five minutes. Supposing, now, each woman wastes a couple of minutes in this way, that will make in the case of 150 women a loss to the firm of 300 minutes, or five hours, and w cannot allow that." .; . f &- ': FLOTSAM. .41 " In Vienna there is a very stringent law against begging. A person found begging in the street ls instantly arrested. Wine tablets have been invented by a chemist of Algiers. One of them dissolved in half a pint of water makes a glass of wine. M. Rochefort asserts that he has never smoked in his life, never drunk black coffee, and that he does not know the taste of cognac. Explorations of Northern Siberia demonstrate that that region was inhabited by tigers until within a comparatively recent date. The paupers in Japan number less than 10,000 out of a population of 88,000,000. It is considered a disgrace to be an idler in that country. The Empire of the Spaniards, founded in America after its discovery by Columbus, comprised about twelve million square miles of territory. The Chinese train the cormorant as a fishing bird. A ring is placed around the bird's neck, which prevents its swallowing the fish it takes. Addison's great misery was his Incurable diffidence. He never overcame it, but to the end of his life was silent and embarrassed when in company. A mathematician has discovered that a bicyclist can travel fifteen miles over a good road on his wheel with less exertion than he can walk three miles. A lively and ingenious machine recently invented will count and pack in bundles of one hundred each five hundred thousand postal cards in ten hours. Australia is a country without orphans or an orphanage. Every waif is taken to the receiving house, where it i3 kept until a country home is found for it. Reports again come from Florida that the alligator is rapidly becoming extinct. It is reported that fully two million, five hundred thou- nd of them have been killed in the last dozen years. Kaiser Wilhelm carries with him a small but serviceable revolver, either in his pocket or in his belt, when he is in uniform. His majesty is extremely skillful in the use of the weapon, and his chasseur, who accompanies him everywhere, inspects it every morning to make sure that it is in working order.

NOTES OF THE MODES.

j CURRENT FASHIONS FOR WOM EN AND GIRLS. liPghorn Hats Are In Vogue Very Much This Season Turnlrg Bark Half a Century A I'rt'tty ilomv Gown Up to Pate Costume, EGHORN hats with a border of lac-e straw that gives stiffness to the edge are prettily trimmed with a ruffle of lace set to cover the top of the brim. The edge of the lace is wired so the lace stands out crisply. Ribbon starting low on one side is drawn diagonally to the upper edge of the crown on the other side, and there stands upright in a butterfly bow, well wired. Hats composed entirely of fancy braids are twisted and bent into fantastic shapes and then rendered very showy. One of this sort is shown in the accompanying illustration, its brim deeply indented and its low crown trimmed with plumes, velvet bows, and rosettes. The Godet Skirt. Fashions of the Henry Quatre period are to be revived this season. Its peculiarities are not of the tempting order. Its skirts are wide and full. Its sleeves distended and fully slashed and ths waists much whaleboned. It remains to be seen if women to whose repertory of pastimes skating and bicycling are being rapidly added, will condone or condemn these faults and take kindly to the revival or simply ignore it. As to crinoline.the great width of the fashionable skirt and its distension by means of wire and horse hair would seem to be a forewarning of its coming, and one wonders if faith in the common sense of women would be misplaced. Surely not. They will not in these enlightened days willingly step into the hideous cages that belonged to an Inartistic age and caused many a tragedy when they were worn. The godet skirt is very much worn.. Even trained skirts are made with godets, the wedding gown of a recent Parisian bride having immense godets. Of course, the style is an exceedingly stiff one, but our eyes have become so accustomed to it that It now seems attractive. Ex. I'retty Home Gown. Of Decorative Value, A very bizarre, staring shade of colorin an English paper is known as hunter's red. It comes in plain, all-owr ivl, and again variegated with figures and pictures. The grotesque and fantasticdesigns suggest the headless drag-ai., centaurs and puzzling eccentricities- of the old-fashioned paperlngs of our grandmother's day. The paper is us'.-d to decorate bachelors' dens and the be 1 chambers of country houses. It is essentially English in character and design, many of the designs depicting red-

coated hunters in English fields. Ro vividly green is the grass, so impossibly j

mue the water, so distorted the image of the wounded stag, repeated over and over again on yards and yards of papering, that the beholder wonders alike at the artist's powers of invention and the taste which makes such creations possible. Fashion decrees that with this wall decoration must go old-time English prints of hunting scenes. We know of no wholesale importers who have them, but some of the retailers secured the gcods direct from abroad. t'p to Er.tc. A Novelty Costume. A novelty costume has the sleeves covered with braiding, either put on by hand or machine. There is a tendency toward setting in fancy sections at the top of the sleeves. One dress is of sil-"?r-gray peau de sole, with pink and silver embroidery in points set in at the sleeve tops. There are similar points falling from the belt. A stylish dress has sleeves almost as round as a football and over them revers of very rich passementerie. Costumes with skirt, deep cuffs and vest, collar and revers of one material and sleeves and fitted body of a contrasting fabric, are not uncommon. Braiding and silk embroidery are coming into use and are seen on some of the most stylish costumes. One dress of fine Endora has an apron front, braided in elaborate arabesques. The cuffs, which extend to the elbows, are covered with embroidery and the vest is similarly finished. The collar and revers are perfectly plain. One of the caprices of the moment is the use of braiding or embroideries on fancy material, a narrow line of this sort of garniture trimming the front of the skirt and extending part way around the hem and finished with elaborate rosette bows of wide fancy ribbon. Another dress has graduated panels of embroidery. There are wide bands of this garniture over the shoulders and sleeve bands at the elbows are wrought to match. Fashion Note. To take the place of chiffon is a slightly heavier material called mignon. Perforated muslin, either white or ecru, looks particularly pretty over a color. Milliners are making great use of net. tulle, lisse and lace, particularly black and white. Fancy trimmings and startling contrasts in bathing dresses are avoided by well-bred women. Some of the new bathing dresses arr made with very pstlo Turkish trousersthat fasten just below the knee. A pink gingham has a bodice with diagonal stripes of white satin ribbon and white guipure insertion. An unusually pretty button in a f!mr-dfi-lis design framed in a tum-ifu circlet is of rfcines tones cut and set Hk diamond chilis. For summer wear blouses will be cut low and square at the neck, bordr-o with galon or embroidery and wlti: short sleeves.

WANTED, 10,000 BABIES. Vaccinate 5,000, Let Hie Others Alone; Then Compare Results. Secretary M. It. Leverson of the AntiVaccination Society of America has sent to the boards of health all over the country a circular containing tha following proposal: "That there be selected 10,000 children, in similar conditions of life, at the ages of (say) 3 months to 1 year, at present unvacclnated, the parents or other lawful guardians of 5,000 of whom ehall be willing and of the other 5,000 unwilling that they shall be vaccinated; that the first 5,000 shall be vaccinated by health officers, the other 5,000 to con- ; tinue un vaccinated; that the whole 10,i 000 be kept, so far as the parents will permit, under the observation of boards and of physicians to be selected by the society; that the vital statistics of these 10,000 children be then published yearly." Mr. Leverson believes that the testimony so gathered will be conclusive as to t'.e advantages and dangers of vaccination. Skinny Sufferers Saved.

Senator Dubois says that his jesting promise to Miss Carlisle to lead a minuet at her home in Washington in aid of a monument fund nearly ruined his political prospects at home. The opposition papers in Idaho charged him with shamefully neglecting his constituents for the frivolites of society, and a populist convention passed resolutions denouncing him and his minuet. Altogether he had a hard time of it, and one newspaper remarked: "If they will try Dubois on the lariat polka or a pocatello reel he will perform much more satisfactorily. He was brought up in a rattlesnake country and can make a backward jump of nine feet." Ex. Educational. Attention of the reader is called to the announcement of Notre Dame University in another column of this paper. This noted institution of learning enters upon its fifty-second year with the next session, commencing Sept. 3, 1S95.

The old Astor residence, which is being torn down to make way for John Jacob's big hotel, was erected in 1854 for William Astor. This block takes up on Fifth avenue 100 feet, and on Thirtyfourth street 175 feet. In addition to this seven additional houses, numbering from 2 to 14 inclusive, are being torn down, making the total frontage on the avenue 100 feet and on Thirty-fourth street 350 feet.
