He is now Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem-
edy, For It.
Mr. George Briggs, of Moore. Okla.,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his-face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
' enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus—
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter: “Truth is stranger
than Fiction.”
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that, P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
, lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he sufiered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mo uth Wide enough
to admit a. teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
- cians in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will. swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. P. P. willmot make
a total cure of.
Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med-
icine, P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem-
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring ,
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis-
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy.
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, frecklgs,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.

FIGHTING A PEST.
STORY OF THE BATTLE OF AMEI‘~'!C.a
AGAINST THE GYPSY MOTH.
Remedy \Vorse than Disease—It Bus 005!
Massachusetts One Million Dollars thus
Fur to Pay for the Blunder of a. French
Scientist. .
Massachusetts’s Assembly has late
1y made its annual appropriation for
carrying on the work of destroying the
Gypsy moth. The sum is $150,000,
but not large enough by $50,000 to sat-
isfy the Entomological Board, which
has charge of the active managemenl
of the work, and which alleges that a
vast deal depends upon effective fight-
ing of the past for the coming year.
The whilom experimenting of a natul
ralist who was interested in silk cul-
ture proved a costly enterprise for the
state, for it was due to his investiga
tion-s that the dread pest, which had
cost the German and Austrian Empires
great sums, was introduced into the
United States. '
So far, Massachusetts has expend-
ed over $1,000,000 in attempting to
check its ravages on the forests and
'shade trees, and the dan-gei‘ is by no
means disposed of. It has attracted
the attention of, the National Govern-
ment.
In 1869 there lived at 27 Myrtle
street, Glenwood, Medford, L. Trouve-
lot, a naturalist, who had come to Mas:
saehusetts from ohis native city, Paris.
He was just then deeply interested in
silk-culture experiments, and had
brought from Europe some eggs of the
celebrated Gypsy moth. One Spring
morning M. Trouvelot, while at work
in his laboratory in an upper room of
his house, was called away for a few
moments. A lot of the moth eggs lay
on a tray not far from an open win-'
dow. A passing breeze blew the eggs
out of doors.
For several years after the moth es-
caped it attracted no attention in Med-
ford. People who witnessed, in 1889,
the first extensive outbreak of the molh
there, and thus became acquainted
with its voracity and reproductive
powers, were unable to understand
how so destructive a creature could
have existed unnoticed for twenty
years. But the moth was not unno-
ticed after the first ten years, :11-
though its identity remained unknown
and its spreading attracted no
attention outside the locality
where it was first introduced.
Within twelve years from the time of
its introduction it had become a seri-
ous nuisance to those living near the
Tron ' lot house, but it was supposed
that fie caterpillar was a native. Its
lack of conspicuous markings, which
to the common eye would distinguish it
from other species, and its habits of.
concealment and night feeding will ex-
plain its unheeded distribution.
Within twenty years it had spread
into thirty townships. Shade trees
were being stripped as if by fire, wood-
land was being-destroyed, while brush-
land everywhere was covered by my-
riads of the creeping, crawling worms.
The destruction was reaching such a
stage that people in Eastern Massa-
chussets got into almost a state of ter-
ror over it, and finally, in 1890, Gov.
Brackett, in am essage to the Legis-
lature urged that steps be taken in
the matter.
In March, 1890, a special law was
passed authorizing the organization of
a commission to prosecute the work
of destroying the moth, and $25,000
was appropriated to that end. A
skilled entomologist'and a force of
men, acting under the supervision of
the State Board of Agriculture, soon
began labor, but the territory infested
was found to be sixteen times larger
than at first supposed, and in June
$25,000 more was appropriated.
In the actual work of destruction, a
comical feature introduced was the
appointment of a dozen special police-
men, whose duty it was to guard the
highways of Medford and Maiden, to
see that no guilty moth escaped, by at-
taching himself to a passing vehicle.
As a fact, this dignified espionage was
valuable, for numerous carriages were
peremptorily halted which were cov-'
ered with the obnoxious caterpillars.
These policement did yeoman Service.
During the season of 1890 the sections
of Medford, Malden, Arlington, Chel-
sea, and Everett, principally, Were in-
spected by the Gypsy moth commis-
sion. r. "
The present commission is headed by
Prof. C. H. Fernald, a most experi-
enced entomolog'st, and a corps of ex—
perts and assistants who from long
training know about the best methods
of the work. From the almost num-
berless experiments and investigations
that have been made in the last six
years something definite as regards
the most effectual insecticides—spray-
ing, and other systemsof treating in—
fected territory—has been arrived at.

‘TO PLAY NEWCOMB.
anew Ball Game Inventor] by a Wmua.
for Women.
For the game called “Newcomb,’
which originated with Miss Clara
Beer of Newcomb College, New On
leans, L3,, :1 limited space, either ii:
01' out of doors, and a football are ah
the essentials. It teaches lightness.
alertness, the ability to remain on one’s
feet, good judgment in a sure aim,
gives strength to throw, and power tc
hold.
The method of procedure is as fol-
lows: Divide the space at command,
the lawn, say, into two equal parts,
by means of lines of white paint, as
for a tennis court. This is the division
line. About seven feet each side of
the line draw shorter lines for the
bases. The spaces between the bases,
separated by the division line, is called
the “inside” of the base, beyond where
the players stand “outside.” The
boundary line must also be marked
out. The players are designated by
colors; one team, for instance, play
pink, the others blue. The blues
guard the ground of the pinks, and the
reverse. The players are arranged at
irregular intervals beyond the bases,
,which they are not permitted to cross
except where the ball is thrown up
by the referee. This 3is done at the
beginning of' the game to decide which
side shall have possession of the ball,
and after each foul. In order to pre-
vent too great a rush for the ball, each
side has a captain, and the captains
alone are permitted to cross the bases.
The object of the game is to make
the ball touch the opposite ground he-

yond the base, when it is called a
“touchdown,” and counts for the side
sending the ball. At first, touch-
downs are easily made, but when the
players become expert in handling the
ball, it is seldom permitted to reach
the floor, and the interest in the game
increases proportionately. A touch-
down counts one for the side sending
the ball. A majority of points, within
a given time, decided upon beforehand
by the players, decides the game.
The following are the rules:
The players must stand outside of
the bases.
The players must not stop inside of
the bases, except when the ball is
thrown up at the beginning of the game
and after each foul. .
The ball must be thrown by the
hands; it may be thrown by one or
both hands; it cannot be kicked.
No player may catch or throw the
ball while on her knees; she must be
on her feet.
No player must fall on the ball.
The referee must throw the ball di-
rectly upward from the division line
after each foul. "ng referee decides
the timeof play, keeps account of
touchdowns and fouls.
Throwing the ball between the di-
vision line and either base is a foul;
also kicking a ball or falling on a
bull.
As the object of the game is to
guard the ground on which you stand,
cover it as effectually as possible by
an even distribution of players. For
a long distance, throw' high, or the
ball may be intercepted. A low ball,
when well sent, is very effectual, for,
unless a player has her movements
well under control, in stooping she is
apt to fall on the ball, which is a foul
against her side.

AN OLD, NEVADA TRAGEDY.
Fight! Between delen and Cllimay
at the Bodie Snlmm.
“I saw a great deal of killing in one
form. or another, and a heap of savage
fights in Nevada’s mountains,” said
Capt. William Mason, once of the
Comstock Lode and a score of other
lodes in the Silver State, “but for
surprise and horror the fight between
Bodlen and Chimay in the Bodie sa-
loon lay over anything else by long
odds. It was about midnight that the .
men fell to shooting—what it wasabout
I forget now—but the saloon was run-
ning full blast, and there was a scat-
tering to get out of the way of the
shots. But the shooting was all on one
side. for the cylinder on Chinany’s pis-
tol wouldn’t revolve, and Bodlen sent
shots into him until Chimay fell with
enough holes in him to let out three
lives. He was carried into a back room
and laid out on the floor to wait for the
Coroner, and then everybody went
back into the front part of the saloon,
and the games and the drinking went
on as lively as before.
.“Bodlen, as the winner, was natural-
ly popular and a good deal looked up
to that night, and had a good many
invitations to drink, and he set ’em up
himself off and on. He-was standing
at the bar with a group around him,
the hero of the night. Of a sudden
the door of the back room, where
Chimay had been laid away, opened,
and the first man that looked gave a
yell like 'an Indian and nearly fell
backward, and the rest of us felt like
doing the same thing when we saw
that it was Chimay standing ther , pis-
tol in hand, looking round. He saw
the man he wanted, and by this time
everybody between him and Bodlen
,had got out of the way. He raised his
pistol and Bodlen pulled his, and the
shots rang out again, but this time.
Chimay’s pistol cylinder revolved, and
at his second shot Bodlen dropped
his pistol, staggered and went down on
his face, shot through the heart.
Chimay watched him fail, and then his
pistol dropped from his hand and he
fell, backward into the room a corpse
for good this time.
“For clear nerve and resolution, What
Chimay had done beat anything I ever
knew of. Left to himself he had re-
vived, picked up his pistol, taken it
apart, fixed the cylinder so that it
would work, and then came out and
shot his man. Thai: was a. specimen

ALDERMEN iN BELGIUM.
They Wound be Voted Slow by American
Municipal Experts.
My guide of varied accomplish-
ments combined, as business men
abroad often do, the roles of country
gentleman, manufacturer, bank presi-
dent, school trustee, and—broadening
the gulf between this kind and the typ-
ical American “boss”—he holds the
more important position of alderman.
In every city the alderman and
mayor, or burgomaster, are of high so-
cial repute, elected to office because of
special fitness for the branch of public
affairs they are chosen to manage.
Said one, with horror and shame: “We
hear that in America aldermen are
sometimes—thieves!” The first “alder-
man of public instruction” to whom I
presented my credentials in a Brus-
sels commune proved to be a barrister
of note, author of several well-known
law treatises. In another commune
the alderman of public instruction is
professor at the normal school, progres-
sive and public spirited. The alder-
man responsible for the Ghent schools
fills also the chair of political economy
at the university, keeps in touch with
the methods of other nations, reads the
reports of the United States depart-
ment of labor, and, much to my sur-
prise, identified m-e at once from hav-

BREAKING A $20 GOLD PIECE.
When Tapped by a Connoisseur the Center
Fell Out.
One of the most puzzled men in town
is a Montgomery street restaurant
keeper who recently took in a $20 gold
piece which filled all the ordinary re-
quirements of genuineness so far as
a superficial ' test could reveal true
facts. But a few days ago a banker
stepped into his place and saw the $20
gold piece which the restaurant man
had received only a short time before.
The banker had a queer look in his
eyes as he took the coin and rapped it
Sharply With his knife, and the restau-
rant keeper had a stranger expression
as he saw his supposed $20 piece break
into two pieces, says the San Francisco
Call.
“‘How is this?” he demanded.
The banker answered: “It is the
same old game. 'I had one of these
pieces myself, and since that I have
tested gold pieces of the $20 denomina~
tion very carefully. 'If that had been
genuine my test would not have bro-
ken it.” _
Then the restaurant keeper and the
banker carefully examined it together.
The outside of the gold piece was all
right, seemingly, when the dissevered
parts were placed together. The mill-
ing seemed to be up to the standard.
The weight was correct.
But the inside of the piece was half
filled with a composition which was
not the customary gold and alloy. Still
closer examination revealed that the
gold had been sawed through with ex-
quisite care and skill just inside of the
milling. Then the milling had been re—
moved, and from the interior of the
piece some of the gold had been ex-
tracted and the baser composition was
made to take the place of the more pre~
cious metal. Then, with equal deft-
ness and skill, the milling had been re-
placed and soldered in some way, and
the trick was done.
