Bedford, Pa., May 5.—After a lapse
of half a century a monument to the
“Lost Children of the Alleghenies" has
been erected In the mountain wilds of
this county and will be dedicated with
Impressive ceremony next Tuesday,
the fiftieth anniversary of the finding
of the children’s bodies.
The story of the lost children—
Qebrge and Joseph Cox, aged 7 and E
years, respectively—is a household
tale throughout this section of Penn
sylvania. It was on the morning of
April 24, 1866, that the two little tots
wandered away Into the mountains
n- their home In Spruce Hollow.

They had followed after their father,
who had gone squirrel hunting. The
parents Immediately became alarmed
and the following day, when the chil
dren failed to reappear, all the sur
rounding country was aroused. Four-
•teen days after they had wandered
away, after fully 3,000 people had
about given up a search for them by
day and by night, the thin, emaciated
bodies of the youngsters were found
In an out-of-the-way ravine In the
mountain.
The parents of the children are both
dead, but the story of their loss still
survives and 1 some time ago the “Lost
Cox Children Memorial Association”
was formed by prominent persons of
this and adjoining counties for the
purpose of erecting a slutable monu
ment.
The monument which has been
erected in the mountains on the spot
where the little bodies were found IS
a handsome marble shaft five feet
high. On the face of the monument la
the Inscription: ‘“the Lost Children
of the Alleghenies Were Found Here
May 8, 1866, b$ Jacob Dlbert and
Harrison Whysong.” In. the base of
the shaft will be placed newspaper ac
counts and other data pertaining to
the affair.

Floheo That Cannot Swim.
More than one species of fish Is met
with which cannot swim, the most sin
gular of which perhaps Is the maltha,
a Brazilian fish, whose' organs of loco
motion only enable It to crawl_or walk
pr bop after the manner of a toad, to
which animal this fish to some extent
bears' a resemblance, and It Is provided
with a long upturned snout. The ante
rior (pectoral) fins of the maltha, which
are quite small, are not capable of act
ing on the water, but can only move
backward nnd forward, having truly
the form of thin paws. Both these and
the ventral and anal fins are very dif
ferent from the similar fins In other
fishes nnd could not. serve for swim
ming at all. Other examples of non-
swimming fishes Include the sen horse,
another most peculiarly shaped Inhab
itant of the sea, which resembles the
knight In n set of chessmen, nnd the
starfish, of which there are many spec
imens, which mostly walk and crawl
on the shore or rocks, both being un
able to swim.

robbed of all comfort, according to his
letter, which says: “For 20 years I

to such a severe case of jaundice that
even my finger nails turned yellow:

me well for eleven years.’ Sure cure

Tampered Stomachs,
Even though It takes park four hours
to leave the stomach nnd six more to
be dissolved and absorbed In the small
Intestine, what does that matter so
long as It Is completely assimilated by
the end of that time, ns It Is tn 00 per
cent of all digestive canals? It Is the

that we have to give off-all Its enijrgy

to the body. Its very - slowness Is -what
gives It Its splendid'staying powers for
hard work, whether muscular or men
tal. As a matter of fact I have seen
more cases of dyspepsia cured by the
use of breakfast bacon than by any
jclhd of drdg or restricted diet An
adult alimentary canal which; cannot
digest bacon er ham Is not td be re
garded ns healthy, and, Instead of jhu-
moring and giving In to a weak diges
tion, It should be braced up and, under
skilled supervision, educated to take
what Is given It and make no' fuss.
Stomachs can be spoiled by giving
them too little to do almost as easily as
by giving them too much. A healthy
Stomach fit to cope with the emergen
cies of life must be able to digest not
only that which Is digestible, but much
that is difficult of digestion, and this Is
the standard which should be aimed at
tn djetetlc therapeutics.—Woods Hutch
inson, M. D., In McClure's Magazine.
Got n Cheap Dinner,
Verily the dueby Df Baden possesses
a Solomon In the person of one of her
magistrates. He Is the biygoranster
of n village In a street wheteof n cy
clist ran over and killed n goose. The
owner of the bird demanded 3 marks
damages. The cyclist thought 2 ample.
The ense enme before the chief mag
istrate, who gave bis judgment as
follows: ‘The plointlff declares that If
paid 3 marks ho will make no claim
for the dead goose. The defendant,
who Is willing to pay 2 marks, also
makes no claim for the body of the
goose. Defendant, band me 2 marks,
and you, plaintiff, band-me the goose.”
When both had obeyed bis commands
be produced 1 mark out of bis pocket
and banded nil three to the plaintiff.
The goose he kept for himself nnd
doubtless’ate It wltn the good, digestion
whlch ’comes from the knowledge of
hairing pleased everybody.
Arsenic.
Arsenic has been known from veky
early tlines ns u deudly poison. It Is
boUOved' to haVe beon the means em
ployed by Nero to remove bis enemies,
andfc there Is little doubt that it was
also known to and employed by Mes-
sallna and Agrippina. During the mid
dle ages It was extensively used as a
secret poison, being sold by alchemists
and poisoners of Italy under the name
of “widow’s ’powders” or “succession
powders.” Its properties wore definite
ly ascertained and mado public by
Brandt in 1783. The plant from which
nsafetlda Is produced Is a native of
Persia, Afghanistan and northern
India. In nil these countries the In
habitants use It ns a seasoning for
their meat and vegetables, much as red
pepper Is employed by the natives of
Mexico nnd South American states.
The odor Is not deemed by them tn the
least offensive.
Almtns «' Revolver.
It Is a peculiar fact- that' very few
men, even accomplished shots, knojv
how a revolver ought to be handled.
Nearly all are taught to handle n re
volver as If It were a rifle—that Is, by
bringing the object aimed at and the
fore nnd hind sight Into a line. This Is
all well enough for shooting gallery
practice, but should never be followed
In the field. When training troops to
use the revolver they are tnught, In
nlmlng, never to look at the weapon
at all, but to keep their eyes on the
object to be struck. In quick firing,
and specially in shooting from horse
back, much better results are obtain
able in this way.
