“Several years ago I had erysipelas in my head, and sores on the temple near the right eye. My head was nearly covered with sores, I could not see and@ feared that I should lose my sight entirely.

Between 1880 and 1894 it is estimated that 2,500,000 alligators were killed in Ficrida alone. In 1889 three firms at Kissimee handled 30,000 hides. During the same year twelve hunters brought to Fort Pierce 4,000 pelts. At the time dealers got 65 cents apiece for the hides; but the price has gone up since on account of the growing scarcity of the saurians. The An Appeal for Assistanct.

PRICES BAKING POWDER A Pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder, 40 YEARS THE STANDARD, who was standing DRUNK FROM I1.0SS OF SLEEP. Results of a Scientific Tests Upon Sub- jects Kept Awake Ninety Hours. Experiments to test the effect of con- tinued sleeplessness is the latest ex- ploit of science, says the New York Journal. Prof. H. C. Warren of Prince- ton university in a paper describes the findings of Prof, Patrick and Dr. Gil- bert of the university of lowa on the effects of the loss of sleep. Those who have missed their normal rest for sev- eral nights in succession feel a-lassi- tude and a sort of depressing interest in life. They behave queerly and seem to lose an equitable judgment of things. Events seem out of propor- tion and often ordinary occurrences aP- pear to go zigzag. This is the sleep- less “jag,” and its hallucinations are as marked as those of a man carrying an overload of liquor. Three normal subjects composed of instructors and hence men not easily susceptible to in- fluence were tested by Prof. Patrick and Dr. Gilbert. They were kept awake for a period of ninety: hours without resort to stimulants or other physiolog- ical means. During the four days and thfee nights of the test they were engaged, as far as possible, in their usual occupations. Their meals were at the usual hours. After the second night the first subject suffered curious visual phantasies. He complained that the floor was covered with a greasy looking, molecular layer of rap- idly moving particles. They worried him almost to desperation. Often this layer seemed to him a foot above the floor and parallel with it and it caused him tremendous trouble, as he stum- bled about and tried to step on it. He staggered and tumbled, but he. couldn’t get a sure footstep. He would try to walk on space, thinking the floor was a foot above where it was, and when his efforts met disaster he seemed sore- ly distressed. Later the air was full of these dancing particles, which devel- oped into swarms of little bodies like knats but colored red, purple or black. They gyrated, it seemed to the subject, in great glee, and he frequently climbed upon a chair to brush them from about the gas jet. This amused him greatly. Especially was he entertained by the various colors in which he saw the lit- tle troopers as they drove about him in countless hordes. THE OLD VIRGINIA FIDDLER. A Holiday Figure That Has Disappeared from View. What has become of the old Virginia fiddler, whose services used to be in incessant demand at the holiday sea- son and who was known and greeted by all the younger people for mile: around? Of old there could be no Christmas in the country without him, says the Richmond Dispatch. He was as indispensable as the children’s stockings, the egg-nog bowl, the roast- ed shoat, the mince pie or the stuffed turkey. He was the important func- tionary at every dance and called out the figures in an unchangeable voice, which grew fiercer and fiercer as he warmed up to his work. Has our old friend disappeared? Is his fiddle cracked and his bow unstrung? Has he been unable to withstand the inva- sion of his territory by the piano and the piano agent? We fear so. We hear’ of him very seldom now; whereas in the times bygone at Christmas his name was on every tongue and his bow was a scepter wielded over many will- ing subjects. Happy for him that he found suitable eulogists before his type was extinct. Dr. George W. Bagby, the great humorist and player upon the heart strings of men, in numerous sketches, and the founder of this pa- per, in his delightful, realistic remin- iscences, has described and immor- talized the old Virginia fiddler. And well they did; for he is becoming as rare as the buffalo upon the western prairies. But well he served his day and generation before he laid down “de fiddle and de hoe.” Squirrel Caused Her Death.

P., has completea a model of his yacht Afreet for the German Emperor, at His Majesty’s re- quest. The vessel, a two-rater, was built like many others, from the colo- nel’s own design. Miss Mary French says that her fath- er didn’t make a cent out of his popu- lar poem, “A Little Peach in an Or- chard Grew.” Herbert Smith, the man who set it to music, realized $35, while the publishers of the song cleared $50,- 000. Sir Julian Pauncefote was originally a London barrister. His public career began thirty years ago, when he went to Hong Kong as attorney general. His introduction to foreign affairs was through the legal door, when he was made assistant under secretary of state for foreign affairs.

A Sure Cure for. Kidney Diseases and Rheumatism. It is no doubt true that next to con- sumptien, more people die yearly frcm diseases of the kidneys than from any other cause. In some respects Kidney disease is the most dangerous of all Maladies, because it usually has made much progress before the victim is aware of its existence. It is, there- fore, with great pleasure we commend to our readers the recent discovery in East India cf the Kava-Kava shrub, Which has proved a most powerful remedy for diseases of the kidneys, theumatism, or other ailments caused by uric acid in the blood. The cures Wrought by this new remedy are indeed Most remarkable. Many who have suff- ered from the most severe forms of the disease, have been completely cured in from twenty to forty days by the Kava-Kava shrub. In the New York Weekly World of Sept. 10th, the testi- mony of Rev. W. -B. Moore, D. D., of Washington, D. C., was given, describ- ing his years of suffering from Kidney disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid cure by Alkavis. Rev. John H. Wat- son of Sunset, Texas, a minister of the gospel of thirty years’ service, -was Struck down at his post of duty by Kidney disease. After hovering be- tween life and death for two months, and all his doctors having failed, he took Alkavis, and was completely re- stored to health and strength and is fulfilling his duties as minister of the gospel. Mr. R. C. Wood, a prominent attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cur- ed of Rheumatism, Kidney and Blad- der disease of ten years’ standing by Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes himself as being in constant misery, often com- pelled to rise ten times during the night+on account of weakness of the bladder. He was treated by all his home physicians without the least benefit and finally completely cured in a few weeks by Alkavis. The testi- mony is undoubted and really wonder- ful.
