‘Two Cures for Neuralgia. Nothing upsets the whole nervous system more than an attack of neural- gia, generally resulting from a slight cold which has a predisposition to “set- tle” in the facial nerves if the teeth are not in the best of condition. One remedy is to wet a cloth with strong camphor, lay it over a hot flat- iron and ‘hold it to the face, inhaling the steam also. This is made possible by throwing a shawl over the head to confine it. Another palliative is to rub the face lightly with tincture of aconite, cover with warm flannel and “sleep it off.” ‘Aconite is a deadly poison ,and must not be used where the skin is broken or put in the mouth, ‘ ‘Dhere is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci- ence has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease, and thérefore requires con- stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To- ledo, O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer One Hundred Dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, .

A_THOUGHT : THAT KILLED A MAN! HE thought that he could trifle with disease. He was run down in health, felt tired and worn out, complained of dizzi- ness, biliousness, backaches and headaches. His liver and kidneys were out of order. He thought to get well by dosing himself with cheap remedies. And then came the ending. He fell a victim to Bright’s disease! The money he ought to have in- vest in a safe, reliable remedy went fer a tombstone. AG Le is the only standard remedy in the world for Kidney and liver complaints. It is the only remedy which physicians universally prescribe. It is the aly remedy that is back- ed by the testimony of thou- sands whom it has relieved and cured.

W. GOUCHE, a wealthy Berrien county farmer, be- lieves that the world will come to an end Oct. 1, says the New York Her- ald. His belief in f the alleged revela- ( tion which predict- Rl ed final dissolution cannot be shaken. A considerable following shares his faith, and since the night of Sept. 6, when Gouche held his supposed commu- nication with the divine power, his fol- lowers have been making preparations for the final leave taking. There is to be no further warning. The earth will crumble to dust, and the faithful, those destined by reason of marked favor with God to enjoy the future life, will be taken from the earth on the night previous to the final judg- ment. Gouche’s strange faith is uot the result of a hallucination which might come to a person suffering from mental derangement, but is due to faith in dreams and prophecies fulfilled. The morning of Sept. 7 Gouche awoke greatly agitated. During the night it was revealed to him in a dream that on the 1st day of October God in his wrath would destroy the earth and that those ket, in which to enter upon his last sleep, and the last night on earth he will spend within the iron burying box. The afternoon of the day will witness unique services, at which eulogies will be pronounced and final farewells taken. Each member of the band will then go home to await the crash which will precede the dissolution of the world. They do not profess to know the manner in which they are to be spared and the sinners slain, believ- ing that God in His wisdom will look after all the minor details of their transition to the celestian city. Each member of the band, following the instructions of Gouche, has dis- posed of his belongings for a money consideration. The women have sold their jewelry and finery, letters of fare- well and admonishment have been in- dited to friends and relatives not shar- ing in the unique faith and all may be said to be in readiness for the last Gay. Gouche is a man of good intelligence. He is 52 years of age and has reared a large family. He owned until within the last few days several large farms. He has always been noted for his ec- centricities, but was considered a good citizen and a valued member of the community. No person doubts the sin- cerity of his belief in what he terms a divine command. The Tyranny of Rush.

If not, you are fortunate, for nearly everyone else has one. Out of a dozen or more phy- Sicians seen yesterday they all attrib- uted the colds from which nearly every- one is suffering to the sudden change of weather. “Colds are to be expected with a change of season,” said a prom- inent physician, “and there is nothing alarming in their present prevalence. Some people get the idea that they : have the ‘grip’ the moment they con- tract a slight cold, but there is a wide difference between the two maladies. A person suffering from the grip feels as though every bone in his body is broken and that his head is twice the usual size. He hasn’t to be toid that he has the grip, but goes to bed and sends for a doctor, while the man with a cold, although feeling badly, is able to continue at his business. October is a great month for colds. The tem- perature is so uncertain during this month that many people do not take proper precautions in the matter of dress. Many who cannot afford to change their raiment promptly with the season are thinly clad and readily contract colds in consequence, while those who are able to make a prompt change are generally careless, dressing too heavily one day and too lightly the next, when the weather is changeable. Another reason for the prevalence of colds at this season is due to the change experienced by many who have returned from the mountains or sca- shore, where their habits of life and the climate have been different to what they find in the city, and the , Were enacted. | trance and the same startling predic- Now they promise us the bicycle for twenty-five. The bicycle “built for two” was the first departure from the single-seated wheel, and it was followed by the trip- let, the “quad,” the “quint,” the sex- tuplet, the nonaplet, etc., until the other day it was seriously announced that a bike for twenty-five, a “duode- ciplet,” so to speak, was among the certainties. That was a record break- er for a while. The twenty-five-seated wheel is under construction by the Herald Cycle company for the Nynuke Bicycle club, of Brooklyn, of which James Geissinger is president.

The twenty-five-seated wheel will be guaranteed for two years, bar- ring punctures and injuries due to ac- cidents, The length will be twenty- five feet. No. 2 seamless tubing will be used. The wheels will. be thirty inches in diameter, and three and one- half-inch hose pipe tires will be used. The front gear will be 100 and the rear gear 68. On the rear wheel the indirect gear will be used, the same as that adopted for modern fire trucks. Th.s the twenty-fifth man, who will occupy the rear seat, will be the steers- man and will control the big flyer in the same fashion as the steersman on a hook and ladder truck. With fifty stout legs punching the pedals it is believed that a speed of eighty miles an hour will be possible. If so, the Empire State express will certainly not be “in it” and man will at last be able to beat steam at its best. The machine will be but two feet wide and rigged in the double tandem style, that is, two riders side by side. The total weight will be eiglity pounds, so that the factor of safety will be lower in this wheel than in almost any other vehicle of motion.—New York World. who failed to prepare for the final sum- mons would perish. He communicated the revelation to his family, who at once shared his belief, and the neigh- borhood in which the Gouches’ re- sided became crazed with excitement, i and each day has served to add to the ; confusion.

The little boy was going to Sunday school for the first time. He had learn- ed much and had had his curiosity awakened upon the subject of another world and the Deity, to whom he had been told to look with filial affection. One idea that had fixed itself in his young mind was that this Deity re- sided somewhere in space high above his head. Not long after these impres- sions had been made, the young man was taken to walk by his cousin. As they approached a hill the small boy | was seen to be intently looking up- ward. “Ob, Annie,” he exclaimed in an awed tone, “I think—I know I can see my Heavenly Father over there.” Annie looked in the direction indicated. There on the hill, high in the air, was a repairer at work at the top of an electric wire pole.-—New York Times. Cascarets stimulate liver. kidneys and bowles. Never sicken, weaken or gripe. High Tides Affect Wells. The lugh water marks of several ex- traordinarily high tides have been kept at Easton J'oint, St. Michael’s and Oxford. What is known as_ the “centennial tide” of September, 1876, has held the record of the highest water mark, and still holds it, al- though last Thursday morning’s (Oc- tober 1) tide was within an inch of the centennial mark. The recent flood had a singular effect on the flow of the ar- tesian wells on ‘Tilghman’s island. These wells average 400 feet in depth, and many of them have a surface overfiow, which increased fully double in velocity and more in volume when the tide was at its highest. It has been noticed before that any wnusual high tide is perceptible in the effect it has on the flow of the wells.—Balti- more Sun. Undisputed Ownership.
