Medical Prescriptions, By Dr. John
H. King of Adairsville, Ga. James T.
Harrison & Cos., publishers, Atlanta, Ga.
Cloth, $2.00. Dr. John King has for sev
eral years been compiling in the form of a
medical digest the prescriptions of the
most eminent physicians of Europe and
America for acute aud chronic diseases.
The book is indexed and formulated in
such a manner that the disease for which a
remedy is ties red can be found at once.
Clarified in alphabetical order, and grouped
into classes so that the di ease having bean
determined, the remedy is at once at hand.
The design of this work is to give
to every hou ehold a valuable aid in
meeting the emergencies of the sick
room, and to assist the physician in active
practioe by giving to him the beet formulas
and prescriptions which the experience of
his profession has approved. These have
been collecled from the standard medical
journals of late date and best works upon
therape .tics, practice ami pharmacy. There
is an appendix containing a variety of
tables, rules, eta A brief catechism on
pharmacy and pharmacology .abbreviations
in presci ipti .n "writiug, poisons and their
antidotes, the use of the themomeier, tbe
temperature of different diseases, the dan
ger line, weights and measures.
Breathing the Germs of Disease.
To inhale the germs of disease with their
daily breath is the fate of denizens of malaria
scourged localities everywhere. The endemic
atmospheric poison may. however, bereft of
its venom and rendered innoxious by a de
fensive use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
This pre emi- ently safe and effective remedy
and safeguard not only eradicates the disease
when developed, but enables the system to
safely brave its assaults. Every physical
function .s coatirmed in or restored to regu
larity. the circulation quickened if sluggish,
an la bilious habit, which of itself begsea a
proneness to both intermittent and remittent
types of malaria disease, where extriosio at
mospheric causes exist, powerfully counter
acted oy tbis inimitable fortifying and defen
sive agent, which has. moreover, none of the
disagreeable characteristics of ad astic ca
thartic or an al.ialoid. Fever and ague, dumb
ague and ague cake, and the cak niura of tie
Isthmus, are conquered by it surely, p easantly.

A BOY AND A BLOWGUN.
A FAMOUS ARTIST’S YOUTHFUL
PRANK REC LLED.
The Brooklyn Institute and the Man
Behind—A Story of Gettysburg-A
Unique i oom Fhras s Fine —So
Like His Father Snpt. Murray.
New York, March 21.-One of the best
known of our artists bad. when be was a
little boy, a Llowgun or tube in the use of
which be was fatally proficient. He lived
at the time in a little oountry town, and tbe
bouse of the next-door ne'ghbor was pretty
cloee to hia home. One autumn day, being
armed witn bis tube, he happened to spy a
big pan of pumpkin “filling” all ready to
be put into pies, standing in the neighbor's
pautrv window. Tbe window was open,
and tbe boy knew where to look for a big
box of ca'.hartic pills. These be obtained
and blew through the tube one after another
with unerring aim into tbe pan, where they
promptly dissolved. The pie* were cqade
and baked, and almost immediately there
after the entire family pa. t.king of them
was thrown into ths wildest sort -f a panic.
Tbe doctor came at a gallop, emetics were
administered and there was talk uf having
a pumpkin sample analyzed to detect the
m> sterioua poison, when the thoroughly
frightened boy made a confession. The
alarm subsided, the analysis project was
given up and the boy was made to experi
ence a sudden distas e for blowpipe practice.
Of course it wouldn’t be fair to sav ho
tbe artist is whose youth was thus distin
guished. but I have heard Hamilton Gibson,
the author-illustrator, tell the story with
keen relish.
THE MAN BEHIND.
Whenever I see a public project not of a
money grabbing kind making big advances
I generally conclude that somewhere out of
sight one man is pushiug along all tbe peo
ple who are working to further it, and that
their activity is largely communicated to
them by him.
The ina ii ehind the Brooklyn Institute,
who has lifted it in a very i-hort space of
time from a sort of m nbund debating
society where respectable elderly people
went to sleep one evening a week, and
imagined they were improving their minds,
into a live organization, full of present use
fulness ad future prum.se, is Prof. Frank
lin W. Hooper.
There is something marvelous about the
enorgy of the man. No tuan knows when
he eats, sleeps or earns his livelihood. Ap
parently he is always either batt nholmg a
wealthy mat for a life sul scription, doing
the work of some celebrated figurehead
president of a department, lobbying for
legislative aid or municipal appropriations,
planning tbe future museums and art gal
leries of the institute, or otherwise hard at
work in its behalf. He is a tall, stooping,
awkward lump of a man, with a face
which seems rather heavy in repose, but
lights up wonderfully when in conversation
The institute will occupy buildings near
Prospect park, not one of which is yet
erected. There will be art galleries, scienoe.
laboi atories, lecture halls, botanical aud
horticultural grounds. There will lie mem
bers by tbe thousand and facilities for work
and study In every department of human
learning. Already, before the institute
has so much as a single i uilding it has a
large and active membership and depart
ments of chemistry, mineralogy, languages,
art, photography, history, architecture,
astronomy, political and economical science,
zoology, mathematics and more than a
dozen . thers. Some remarkably interest
ing thing 9 are always going on. Tbe
geographical exhibition, now in tbe higbt
of its success, is one of the most entertain
ing aud instructive shows ever seen in any
city in America.
People el ewhere, who regard Brooklyn
as a sort of overgrown village, will perhaps
be surprised in ten years to learn that its
citizens have the finest museum privileges
in the country, and tbe nucleus of a great
university, if it is thought advisable to
found one.
A STORY OF GETTYSBURG.
A story of Gettysburg which has not
been in print seems almost like an impossi
bility, yet I atn pretty certain that tbe fol
lowing incident has never seen the light:
When the tremendous cannonade which
preceded Pickett’s great charge was going
on and the troops of Hancock’s column
were lying flat upon the ground in the
stifling July heat, a young soldier of the
Seoond Vermont Brigade, whose
appropriate name is Allen, though 1 do
not know if he is a descendant
of the redoubtable Ethan, left the ranks,
walked back a hundred yards where the
shells were lying thickest, filled his c nteen
at a spring, came back to tbe line and
slowly passed along it, giving to each man
in bis company a few drops. Then he
dropped back into his place entirely un
hurt. A few minutes afterward, while
comparatively in the shelter, he received a
wound which has lamed him for life.
While getting the water and passing it
about. Mr. Allen says, he felt no fear what
ever, but as soon as he was wounde ihe re
alized the danger of the situation and was
mortally afraid of being killed until Stan
nard’s charge shattered Pickett’s splendid
column, and the tide of battle ebbed buck
from where he lay.
THIS ROOM CAN’T BE IMITATED.
The wife of one of the best known wa’.i
paper printers in the country rejoices in
s me room decorations and furniture which
are ce: tain never to be widely Imitated,
simply because they cannot be although tbe
cosv was quite small.
The ordinary wall paper is printed upon
cylindrical rollers, varying in size accord
ing to the pattern, which is raised upon
them in very high relief. The narrowed
borders are printed upo i flat strips of wood,
whose designs also stand boldly out. Of
course, the cutting of these cylinders and
strips is quite expensive, but wnen the pat
terns become old fashioned they are no
longer useful. This lady has taken a large
quauti yof the cast-off flats
and combined them to make a l.brarv table,
a mantel, a decorative frieze, a wall cabinet
and the framework of a piece or two of up
h lstered furniture. The effect when tbe
proper colors are used in painting the furni
ture is remarkably beau.iful. It is not
often that a private bouse in America can
show anything like such a quantity of beau
tiful relief carvings. A folding screen,
fashioned of the flat strips, swung from four
columns of cylinders, is the masterpiece of
this absolutely unique decorative scheme.
SO LIKE HIS FATHER!
The artist illustrator, W. A. Rogers, of
Harper's Weekly, is a thin, boyish looking
young man who may possibly weigh 120
pounds after a hearty meal, aud whose
d>.rk, slightly mustached face refuses to
record his year?. He once ran some rapids
on the Housatonic river with his canoe by
the safe if unromantia method of carting
the boat around bv means ot the friendly
aid of a farmer and his yoke of oxen. His
companion, L. W. Seavey, the scenio artist,
waited a long time at the foot of the rap
ids for the outfit to appear. When at last
the lumbering cart put in an appearance
the farmer, a grizzled veteran of 60, baited

SUPT. MURRAY’S ILLNESS.
It is a good white since New Ycrk has
had a really efiicient superintendent of
po ice iD active servico. Walling, who is
now a choery old farmer, was for a long
time before bis retirement practically a
figurehead and past his prime. He was so
bucolic in his appearance that a bunco man
once actually endeavored to m ke him hia
prey almost within hail of police headquar
ters, sup osmg him to be a dear old
friend from Wayback Corners. Bupt.
Murray is a thorough police
man, but it in very bad bealtb. He re
turned a few weeks ago from a six months’
leave of absence, spent largelv in Europe,
but is now on tbe police sick list and has ’t
reported for duty. It looks as if he had
broken down entirely, and if so tbe com
missioners cannot too ion pernio 1 him and
promote Inspector Byrnes, the most
famous. and by rogues the mo6t dreaded, of
modern police officers.
Murray has “Parkinson’s disease,” from
which nobody ever recovers.
PHRASES FINK.
Two excellent "phrases" have recently
impressed themselves upon my memory:
tbe one in a lady’s letter announcing that
she was in the flood tide of prosperity. “lu
deed,” she wrote, "the goose never, appar
ently, approximated a greater altiude iu
the empyrean than at tbe present moment.”
The other phrase was utterod by a weary
auctioneer, who was trying to impress upon
a room full of unappreciative folks the
merits of a picture. “Consider,” be said
impressively, “the great disti ction con
ferred by the superlative excellence of this
magnificent speciman of the celebrated
artist’s most inimitable work.”

New York, March 9L —During the last
year their has been an increase of fully 20
per cent, in tb9 marriage rates, and
the announcement of tbe a preaching
nupials we read ab ut in tbe c'dumut of
fashionable intelligence, show that, despite
the teaching of a certain school of moralists
who teach the philosophy of free love, the
parson and the ring and the whole sweet
ceremony of a religious wedding, still hold
good, and,indeed, arc daily gaining ground.
Easter beils and wedding bells are now al
most synonymous, and it is tbe privilege
of the new made bride to open
the spring season. and after
the austerities of Lent, to start rolling, once
more, the ball of gaiety and merry-making.
Certainly the girl- who is married at EasWr
has o.ie advautmge over suthof her sisters
who enter on their wedded bliss earlier in
the year. She can wear daintier and
lighter garments, and the sun is more
likely to shine blithely on her, and that we

SHERMAN’S LAST PORTRAIT.
A Talk With Jas. H. Beard About the
Great Men W ho Have Posed for H m.
I Copyright, i
Nxw York, March 21.—1 tis Sherman to
the Ufa Sherman as he was in tbe last
years, with tbe furrowed and thoughtful
brow, the close cropped snowy beard. His
expression is intent and powerful, as might
fit the taking of the boldest chance in the
march to the sea, and yet not stronger than
his face would wear sometimes, even iu
this very year, when conversation touched
a point which fully rou ed hi n.
I saw the picture in the studio of James
H. Beard, the veteran artist who had made
a name before most of us were born. He
knew well, had known him si ce
ante-bellum Jdavs. Those who were ac
quainted wiln the great general’s peculiari
ties will realize that the artist must have
had a strong claim or he would not have
been granted a sitting. The man ter of
granting it, too, was quite characteristic
It was in the fall of 1887 that Beard wrote
a note to Sherman aski .g the favor of a
sitting. The general replied with a cour:e.
ous but. unmistakable refusal. Beard wai
disapnoi ted. although he had not been very
sanguine of obtaining the desired favor. A
few days late;-, as he sat in his studio, the
door was pushed open, aud in walked .Sher
man.
“Beard,” said he, “I haven't used you
fairly. You shall have a sitting as soon
as you want it, and as many more as you
need.”
Whon tha sitting began Beard was able to
realize more fully the sacrifice which the
general had made to friendship. He was
too restless to maintain the pose more than
a minute < r two, and then he would shift,
first one way and then the other, and beg
to be allowed the consolation of a cigar.
When his nervousness would become un
bearable he would walk over and note the
artist’s progress. In bis most restle s
moments during a sitting, when ho had
shifted bis pose till it bore no relati<>h to the
one in which he had been p seed, he could
always I e brought back by a word. At
tbe sound of it be would assume tbe correct
position with military precision.
He was always punc ual in keeping his
appointments f r sitting, tbe artist told me,
except iu cue ins aure when he was fifteen
minutes late. In that case he began to
apologize before be had fairly got the door
open. He liked the portrait very much
when it was done. It has been exhitdtel
for a few da's iu the chamber of commerce
but has not been shown elsewhere, oxoept
iu the studio.
Tne portrait shows him in his uniform,
but there are no other military insignia,
riberman asked that the . should be omitted,
He did not wish tbe sword or the gel len
plumes to figure on the canvas.- And so
tbe picture stands as if to show that Sher
man had conquered men by his intellect
aud not by blows with a hword,
The white-haired artist told me many In
teresting stories of Sherman, but most of
them, I fancy, have found their wav into
Erint during these last few weeks. Beard
lmself took honorable part in the war,
being a captain on the staff of Gen. Lew
Wallace.
I noticed near Sherman’s portrait a head
of William Henry Harris m, aud was sur
prised to hear that Beard had painted the
hero of Tippecanoe from life. But that
wasn't so long ago, after all, in tha memory
of an octcgenarian, aid the pamter will be
one in a few months. Ho had sittings from
John Quincy Adams, who seems much
further back in history, and from Zachary
Taylor. His portrait of Tavb r brougut n
hitl er price than any American artist had
received for a single work up to that time.
He told me a good storv of Gen. Taylor,
which dates back to tbe dine of bis presi
dential campaign. Tbe general was at
Baton Rouge, aud the artist had called upon
him. They talked on general topics for
awhile, and finally got around to politics.
Taylor asked his guest which way he was
going to vote. Beard, whose sympathies
were not strongly with Taylor, got out of
it as well as be could but not well
enough to disguise his hesitancy. Then the
general came out in a surprising fashion for
a political candidate.
"Don’t you vote for me," he cried, “or
for any other military man. There is noth
ing in arniv life which makes sta.esmen of
us, nothing at all.”
It sounds strange to a youngster to hear
a man tell this of these characters wuo
seemed far away even in my school days.
Beaid has been painting for sixty-five
years. He obtained his first art inspiration
by watching n man designing a figure-head
for some small craft that was "to ply the
waters of Lake Erie. Genius is quick to
take a hint. Young Beard, with the most
primitive materials, went to work aud
though wholly untaught, turned out some
pictu; as that wore worth looking at. He
has made a special study of animals.
Among the notable f ces I observed in his
stndio was that of tbe late distinguished
Mr. Crowley. Tbe portraiture is excellent.
Xbo great ape sits in a reflective posture,
looking upward. One hand supports bis
chin, and the other holds a copy of Dar
win’s "Descent of Man.” The Metempsy
chosis of Pythagoras is on the table wi h a
monkey’s skull, while on the floor is the
skull of a man.
Among Beard’s best known works are
"Out All Night,” a group of dogs; “Streets
of New York,” now owrued by C. P. Hunt
ingdon; “The Last Man,” a strangely im
pressive conception of the deluge; and
“North Carolina Emigrants,” an early
work, the first which won him recognition
iu the east.
He has been urged to put his admirable
portrait of Bhermau on exhibition, aud may
do it soon. David Wechsler.

THE LADIES
Who purify their blood with Ayer’s Sar
saparilla, are distinguished by their
freedom from any of those blemishes
which so disfigure many an otherwise
comely face. External applications ag
gravate skin diseases by obstructing
the pores and poisoning tbe whole
system. Functional derangements of
the stomach, liver, and kidneys need to
be corrected. This may best be done by
purifying tho blood with Ayer’s Sarsa
