RYEIPELAS
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims ,to Be Shunned by
Their Fellow- Man.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
GENTLEMEN: I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippmans Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com-
pletely covered with the disease : I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared, This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an-
other course, and I am now in good
1 condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a. gen-
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap—
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

GENTLEMEN: Last June I had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex-
tended from my ankle to my knee. I

No .11'oman in Washington attracts
more attention
much to the curiosity of the ordinary

When 1.l-e p1esent Envoy Et. traordin—
5111' and Minister Plenipotentiary, Mr.
ring Yu, first came to this country,
it was said that he had more advanced
ideas upon the political and social ques—
tions of the day than any of his prede-
cessors. Mr. Yang is as progressive in
his ideas as Li Hung-Chang, wthom
General Grant called “the Bismarck of
China, ” and the late Chinese minister
to London, the Marquis Tseng. Fol-
lowing the precedent of the last- men
tioned official, Mr. Yang has intro~
Eli ced a number of innovations which
were unknown at the legatio‘n before
’llS coming.

A HALL OF SUICIDES.
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN WITH THOSE
WHO HAVE SUICIDAI. MANIA.
Bloomingdale has a Corridor Especially
for Guests of this Character. Care of
the Eumates a great Strain on the
' Attendants.
In the Bloomingdale asylum at
White Plains there is a ward, or hall,
as it is called, in both the male and
female divisions, set apart especially
for the safekeeping of [patients af-
flirted with suicidal mania. Not a
movcmt~ nt of the patients confined
there goes unobserved.
At 1 o clock in the morning they are
obliged to vacate their rooms in a
body and the doors are locked behind
them, WI; 119- they dress in the corridor
outside. They then repair to the wash
room in companies of three or four,
accompanied by an attendant, who
keeps them under surveillance.
‘he meals are setved in a. light and
airy dining room overlooking the asy-
lum grounds. As the patients pass
through the door and take their seats
at the tables they are counted, and if
one is found missing an immediate
search is begun. They have the same
food that is provided for every other
1111.1 in the asylum, but are deprived
of many articles - of, table service.
Knives and forks are never seen in this
hall. The patients are, obliged to eat
with spoons. Glassware is also pro-
hibited, and they drink from heavy
china cups. While eating they are
watched by attendants, whose duty it
is to see that they do not take away
any thing from the table when the
meals are over. In order to be (101‘ 111)-
sure of this every spoon and piece of .
crockery is counted before and after
each moral. Between meals these arti-
cles are kept under lock and key
About an hour after breakfast and
dinner the patients are taken for their
daily exercise in the asylum grounds,
accompanied by attendants. During
these walks they have to be most care-
fully watched, in order to prevent
them from picking up any article
which might be used to commit sui-
cide after they have returned to the
hall. On one occasion a man who was
known to have made several attempts
at self— destruction before being sent to
the asylum, came very near eluding
While
walking with the other patients in the
grounds his eye ch11 need to light upon
11. little piece of broken glass lying near
the path. He was cunning enough to
know that if he stooped to pick it up,
he would be observed; so he feigned
to stumble, and fell in a heap on the
ground, securing the coveted article
and secreting it in his pocket. His ac-
tions on returning to the hall fortu-
nately aroused the suspicious of the
attendant. He was searched and the
glass was found.
From the moment they lay their
heads on the pillows until it is time to
rise in the morning, two attendants,
one at each end of the hall, watch
them.
a manner to excite the suspicion of the
watchers they are at his bedside in a
moment to see what he is about. The
strain placed upon the attend-ants in

some of them are unable to stand it
for more than a few weeks at a time.
Then they ask for a transfer to an-
other hall, or else resign—New York

FORTUNE IN TIPS.
A Pullman Palace-Car Porter Who is
Worth $100,000.
It is notgenerally known that many
of the Pulhnan porters running East
and West out of Pittsburg are worth
considerable money. Only few know
that one in particular, who runs be-
tween Pittsburg and Philadelphia, can
sign his name to a check bearing fig-
ures‘ close to the $100,000 mark. And
this fortune was built out of a trifling
sum. John Taylor, one of the most
popular men in the_Pullman service,
possesses the fortune. The story of its
acquisition is unusually interesting.
A little over fifteen years ago Taylor
entered the Pullman service as a por-
ter. Today his coat bears the three
stripes which signify that term of ser-
vice. On the first run he secured in
one of the most prominent brokers in
Philadelphia a friend who has since
stuck to him. On the same trip and
from the same friend he secured the
original quarter. Otheis appieciated
Ta'y’iors attentions on the rot d, and
soon he had a neat sum laid away.
Then the Philadelphia. broker advised
him to invest it, and his small fortune
soon doubled and tripled. Today he
is' worth $100,000, but still he daily
dons the Pullman uniform.——Pittsburg*

but he lets his old pair of bloomers
run the whole game for him. She’d
a-been after me long ago if I hadn’t
told her that we used to live on Fifth

lost all his money he would not let me
go anywhere but to the wyemseea

They were spinning yarns at the
chase, and this was the contribution
of the Congressman: “After a pretty
hard campaign I went with a hunting
party to the upper peninsula. On“
morning I had tramped an unusual
distance from camp and suddenly
came upon three h f—grown cubs 1011

beat a clumsy‘ retreat. Setting my
gun against a tree I reached my cub
while he was still kicking.
“Hearing 3. noise, 'I whirled around
to find the mother coming at me, i: or

rifle. I’m no sprinter, and took the
only alternative by shinning up a tall
pine tree. She stopped a minute to
examine the victim of my shot, and
was more enraged than ever as she
came climbing after me. Once in the
tufted top of that pine I did some fast-

was coming, and losing no time. I
was without weapon of any kind. It

It was related by Mrs. Beech-er that

FULTON'S FIRST FARE;
11nd First Beer 3 iitlon Received for Adapta-
lng Steam to Navagation.
There was one little incident in R‘ob-
ert Fulton’s life about which-few peo-
ple know and which Fulton never for—
got. It took place shortly before the
return trip of his famous boat’s voyage
by steam up the Hudson Rivers At
the time all Albany flocked to . the
wharf to see the strange craft, but so
timorous were they that. few cared to
board her. One gentleman, however,
not only boarded her, but Sought out
Fulton, whom he found in the cabin,
and the following conversation took
place:
“This is Mr. Fulton, I presume?” ‘
“Yes, sir.”
“Do you return to New York with
this boat?” ~ _
“We shall try to get back, sir."
“Have you any objection to my re-
turning with you?”
“If you wish to take your chances
with us, sir, I have no objection.”
“What is the fare?”
After a moment’s hesitation, Fulton
replied, “Six dollars.” And when that
amount was laid in his hand he gazed
at it a long time, and tw0 big tears
rolled down his cheeks. Turning to
the passenger, he said:
“Excuse me, sir, but this is the first
pecuniary reward I have received for
all my exertion in adapting steam to
navigation. I would gladly commemo-
rate the occasion with a little dinner,
but I am too poor now even for that.
If we meet again, I trust it will not
be the case.”
As history relates, the voyage ter-
minated successfully. Four, vears later
Fulton was sitting in the cabin of the
Clermont, then called the North River,
when a' gentleman entered. Fulton
glanced at him, and then sprang up
and gladly shook his hand. It has his
first passenger, and oVer a pleasant lit-
tle dinner Fulton entertained his guest
with the history of his success, and
ended with saying that the first actual
recognition of his usefulness to his fel-
low-men was the six dollars paid to
him by his first passenger.—I-Iarper’s

The Indian was Immensely Proud of His

Lieutenant Hallack, of the Union Army

posts 1311 the plains.

broken.
On a Certain occas1on, Lieutenant Hal:

warrior, who wished to see the “white
man’s funny'eye.” The brave was
much pleased with the sight, and after
awhile he besought the officer to lend
him one of the extra bits of glass.
“But your sound eye is as black as -
coal and as big as a saucer, ” protested
the lieutenant, “and these eyes are lit~

brave walked around the camp as
proud as Lucifer. His big bialck eye
and his little blue eye were in amusing

He succeeded in making the other
Indians believe that he could see
through the blue eye as well as
through his natural one, and no hap<
