Judge Stover Remembers a Herome to Her Advantage- The suit of Maud Mills, nee Long against William Albert Mills, her husband, in which she asks for a divorce and the restoration of her maiden name, was called before Judge Slover yesterday. No one was in the court room to answer for the plaintiff and the court ordered it dismissed. “That was Maud Long, your hon- or,” spoke up the clerk, a weak young man with a budding -mus- tache and a weakness for heroines. “Well, if that is Maud Long I will give her another chance. Mark that case continued.” Maud Long will be remembered as the young woman who rescued the two McConnell children four years ago this winter at the risk of her own life. The two children were taken for a sleigh ride by Mr. 8. S. Baker, a Main street jeweler, after- ward discovered to be insane. The sleigh was overturned in a desolate part of the country between this city and Independence and the children were supposed to have been lost. The following evening Miss Long discovered the children in the snow and at the risk of her own life trudged with them through the snow to Independence. Her hero ism in rescuing the children was commented on by the newspapers from one end of the country to the other and she received numerous medals and testimonials. July 4, 1887, she married William Aibert Mills, a young farm hand, and a year later applied for a divorce on the grounds of non-support.—Kansas City Times. A Peculiar Case. Dr. H. C. Edmundg, of Elberton, Ga., writes: “A yery peculiar and strange case of blood poison came undr my attention a short time ago. A gentleman came herefrom Athens, Ga., where he had been bitten on the hand by a vicious mule he was break- ing to work. The hand was in hor- rible condition, and the infiamma- tion was rapidly extending through- out his entire system. Every knuck- le on his hand was an ulcer that was deep and sloughing. He stated to me that he had cousulted several physicians, and taken their medi- cines without deriving any benefit. I gave him a course of Swift's Spe- cific (S. S. S..,) and in a few days he reported to me a marked improve- ment, and in one week from the time he commenced taking S. S.S. the hand was healed up and the poison * entirely eradicated from his system. It is my opinion that he would have lost his life had it not been for the health-giving properties contained in Swift's Specific. He frankiy admits himself that S. S. S. did the work.” Treatise en Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga.

The practice of wearing finger-rings has been almost universal from an early | period in the world’s history. There is |@ tradition which ascribes their inven- | tion to Tubal Cain; and the old Latin j author who gives currency to the story, | speaking of the wedding circlet, says: anecdote: One day when he was a jus / wre form of thering being circular— tice of the peace there came to his office a@ young man, accompanied by a young woman. “Be you the squire?” asked the manly youth. “Yes, sir.” “Can you tie the knot for us right away?” “Yes, sir.” “How much do you charge?” “One dollar is the legal fee, sir.’ “Will you take your fee in beeswax?” “Yes, if you can’t pay cash.” “Well, ro ahead and tie the knot, and T’ll fetch in the wax.” “No,” said the squire, thinking there was a good chance for a little fun; “bring in the beeswax first, and then V'll marry you.” Reluctantly the youth went out to where was hitched the horse upon which, Darby and Joan fashion, the pair had ridden, and brought the wax ina sack. On being weighed its value was found to be only about half a dollar. “Wal,” said the anx.ous groom, ‘‘tie the knot, and Ill fetch more wax next week.” “No, sir; I don’t trust; that’s against the rules of this office.” Slowly the disappointed youth turned to go out, saying: “Come, Sal; let's go.” “I say, mister,” answered Sal, with a woman’s wit, ‘‘can’t you marry us as far as the wax will go?” “Yes, I can, and will,” replied the “squire,” laughing; and he did. A WASHINGTON WOMAN. Two Somewhat Noteworthy Episodes in Her Social Career. A well-known society woman here, says a Washington letter to the New York Tribune, told the following story and was surprised that her listeners did not commiserate her on the indignity she suffered at the hands of two strange women. Others had been telling of the rudeness they had endured from callers, and my lady thought her’s would cap the climax. “On one of my afternoons last sea- son,” said she, ‘‘two women whom I had never seen or heard of were ushered in- tothe parlor. Mrs. —— was receiving with me and we both had the dearest little pugs in our laps. They staid fully ten minutes, and, as it was quite early, no one else had dropped in. They talked about every thing. One of them asked for whom I wore mourning, the other fingered my friend’s lace gown and asked if it was machine-made. When they got up togoone of them said: ““T heard, madam, that you had two babies. Seems to me a woman had bet- ter have her babies in the parlor with her than her dogs.’ “It was the most impudent thing I ever heard of, but that is Washington society for you. Just as if my nurses couldn’t take care of the children.” This same woman gave a large din- ner party some time ago in honor of the polished and courtly members of the Chinese Legation. As soon as they were seated at table she horrified her other guests by turning to one of the Chinamen and saying, indulgently: “John, likee Melicca?” Misinterpreting his look of disgust, she continued: ‘Ah, John, no speakee Englishee.” BROKE DOWN FENCES. How a Shrewd Kentucky Father Disposed of His Six Daughters. In an old book written by a Western Congressman, a contemporary of Clay and Webster, containing reminiscences of his times, a story is told of one of his friends, a farmer in Kentucky named Payne, who had six daughters, none of whom were blessed with beauty. The Congressman knew them in their home- ly youth, and when he returned, a few years later, found them all married to good, influential men. So great was his surprise that he ventured to ask their father why they had been all so sought when other girls remained neglected. The old farmer chuckled. “Yes, and you may say when they had neither dower nor good looks. Well, I'll tell you. When I want my cattle to eat buckwheat stubble instead of grass I don’t drive them into that field; I fence it off from them. They are so contrary that they always want the thing they can't get. They break down the fence; Idrive them out and putitup. By the time they fight for it once or twice they think they like the stubble. “Well, I saw my girls weren't the Most attractive kind, and—I fenced them in! “You never found them in hotels dancin’ or keepin’ stalls at county fairs. Young men to know them had to come to their father’s house. When the neighvors saw how the Payne girls were kept away from the crowd they thought their value must be high. Young men came to b-eak down the fences.” “The story was coarsely told, per- haps,” adds the old narrator, ‘but there is more in it than meets the eye.” Sure Cure for Cigarettes. Habitual tobacco users and whisky drinkers have been cured by the follow- ing plan: Those who smoke their first Say at seven o'clock in the morning, begin by putting it off just ten minutes past the hour fora few days, then make it fifteen or twenty minutes, and soon until it will be noon and then | night before the first one is smoked.

That they were also in use among the Egyptians at that time is evident from the forty-first chapter of Genesis, where we read of Pharaoh taking off his own ring and putting it upon Joseph's hand, when he made him “ruler over all the land of Egypt.” The hands of female mummies, found in the tombs of Egypt, are profusely covered with rings; the wealthy ladies of that country wearing costly ones upon nearly every finger, while their poorer sisters had to content themselves with circles of bronze, glass or pottery. The ancient Chaldeans, the Persians, and, according to Herodotus, the Baby- lonians wore rings; and itis probable that from Asia they were introduced into Greece. In the later Greek legends the ancient heroes are spoken of as wearing them, and ata more recent date every freeman throughout Greece seems to have had one. The earlier rings appear to have been used not so much for ornament as for the practical purpose of affixing seals; but later on they became merely orna- mental, and were set with precious stones. The Romans, who are believed to have derived the custom from the Sabines, wore signet-rings of iron—as was the case with the Lacedemonians —and every freeman had the right to wear one. Ambassadors in the early years of the republic used to wear gold rings as part of their official dress; this jus annuli aurei being afterwards extended to Chief Magistrates, Senators and, later on, to equites. Emperors were wont to con- fer this right on those whom they wished to favor, and the privilege became grad- ually more and more extensive, until in the time of Justinian all Roman citi- zens could avail themselves of it. The later Romans used to wear many rings upon their fingers, some even hav- ing different ones for summer and win- ter, while the height of “dandyism” was reached by those who never wore the same ring twice, but threw it away when once it had done service.—Notes and Queries. NAPOLEON’S SAGACITY. A Railroad Dog that Knows More than Many Human Beings. Napoleon is a dog residing at Salida, Col., belonging to an engineer of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad. He has been engaged with his master for the past two and a half years in running locomotive No. 86. His apprenticeship commenced at the early age of six months. His first trip was not asuc- cess on account of fright. This was speedily overcome. He can now go into the round-house, where twenty-eight engines are domiciled, single out and mount his own machine, and, in the ab- sence of his master and the fireman, de- fend it against all intruders. He rides on the fireman's side of the cab, with both front paws and head hanging out of the window, intently watching the track. He frequently scents cattle a mile or more distant. When they appear in sight he becomes greatly excited, look- ing first at the cattle and then at his master, as though trying to make him comprehend the gravity of the situation. On nearer approach he sets up a cry similar to that of a human being. If necessary to come to a full stop, he bounds out of the cab, runs ahead and loses no time in convincing the tres- passers of the importance of finding some other stamping ground. When necessary to communicate with help at the pumping stations, frequent- ly at long distances from the track, a note is written and given to the dog, who delivers it and speedily returns with a reply. Signals to start from his own engine are readily interpreted by him, but he pays no more attention to the whistles and bells of other engines than to cattle that may be safely grazing on the side of the road. His olfactory powers are so keen that he has frequently given his master timely warning against stock that, if struck, might have resulted dis- astrously. He is well known to all rail- road employes between Ogden and Sa- lida. If accidentally left at any of the Stations, he returns to Salida on the first train.—Scientific American. Consumption 1s on the Increase. From recent statistics it appears that consumption is on the increase through- out the western states.
