Buttercups are Poison. It is not generally known that the buttercup, which is such a favorite flower with the children, has poison¬ ous qualities, yet such is the case, and an inquest has recently been held on a boy, who, after eating some butter¬ cups, died within a few hours with all the symptoms of irritant poison. The buttercup belongs to the ranuncula- ceac, and nearly all the members of this group possess poisonous qualities, chiefly of au irritant nature, though in a few narcotic principles are to be found. The virulence of the poison varies very much, but there are very fpw individuals of this order which are ifiert. The various species of but¬ tercups liavo all irritant properties, and in the absence of better drugs they have occasionally been used ns vesicatories. Cows avoid buttercups, but hogs and some other animals can eat them with impunity, The active principle is volatile', so that when the buttercups are dried with hay or ex¬ posed to the air they become inert. Luckily, the buttercup, though pretty to look at, does not usually tempt the children to eat it wholesale, otherwise cases of poisoning might he Ichs rare than they fortunately are at present. —Lancet, a I.ADY taking tea at a small com¬ pany, being very fond of hot rolls, was asked to have another. “Keally, I cannot,” slio modestly replied. “I don’t know how many I have eaten already.” “I do,” unexpectedly exclaimed a juvenile upstart, whose mother allow¬ ed him a scat at the table. “You've eaten eight.” j Gross Ontragflfl I’jK.n thu Btiiumen ami ikiwcIb arc i><tri>otrnt<u exporieuei ng I a Blight < iec prt-r. infiltrate timir bowels with drenching evacuants, which enfeeble the IntcH tinal membrane to nserious extent, sonieti inns, telle even r*B , superinducing tttoina< hitters dysentery or piles Hos- h Is the true succedaneuin for these nostrums, since it lHat once invigorat¬ ing. gentle ami e/Tecnml.

An Incident Which Illustrates an Effect of the Cycling Craze. “Speaking of bicycles,” remarked more to render this the horseless age than anything else that haH happened: to it, but I'll say it and illuminate my statement by an example, which lately came under my notice. j “I was down in a West irginia town not more than a week or ten days ago, and as I had a jaunt of ten miles to make into the country to see a rural customer of mine, I hired a being « friend of mine, let me have his own saddle horse a really fine an- imal, and I felt proud of my mount as I rode out of town. Arrived at des- tination I Boon transacted my business and while waiting for my customer, who was going to ride part of the way i back with me, an old farmer came along and hitched his horse near the j block where f was sittinu on mine all ready to ride away. He took a side glance at my nag and with the usual freedom of the country began looking my animal over.” “ 1 Wind's he wuth?’ he inquired when his investigation was completed. ‘“Oh, about eighteen dollars,' I said, thinking I would surprise the old fellow and at the same time have some fun with him. I “But he never showed a sign in his face and merely walked around the horse critically. t ( « I might give you fifteen,’ ho said, with great indifference, “ ‘If you do,’ said I, hanging on, ‘it will have to be cash ' ‘“I actin’ brash these hard times,’he explained, ‘but mebbe we kin do somethin’ in the critter biz- ness. Trot him up the road a piece ! and let’s see what he kin do.’ “I hadn't bargained for this exact- ly, but I was in for it, and I thought I might as well see it to the finish and rode away us lie directed. “When I returned he took another i turn around the horse, shaking his liOftd as if not altogether satisfied " »*1» what he was likely to get in tho deal. “ ‘Is fifteen ycr lowest figger?’ he asked. I« ‘Y'es, it’s the best I can do.’ < < i Well,’ he said, with the greatest deliberation, ‘fifteen dollars is a good deal to pay for a boss these days, but ride him up the road ag’in on a run till I holler, an’ when I holler swing him ’round and fetch him back on a slow walk, an’ I’ll git the money somehow.’ “I thought it was a fine joke and started away on a dead run, expecting to got the call at a turn in the road some three hundred yards away, but I didn’t, and when I had passe,1 out of sigtli and still no call came, I tum¬ bled to myself and went right back to where I had started from in the morning, without saying a word to anybody.”—Washington Rtnr. A Mine’s Remarkable History, Probably which there is not n mine in tin country can show such extreme variations in tho price at which it h held as tho Diamond mine, neai \ Helena. It was sold last year to c Scotch syndicate for $1,800,000. l’if j teen years ago Richard Lockey, ot j Helena, bought the mine for ninety cents. Mr. Lockey did not make the difference between these two sums. The property which ho bought foi ninety cents ho sold for $8,000, and thought ho wns making a good bar gain. The Diamond mine has n peenliai history. It was discovered and local ed Folsom, about thirty years ago by David E. of White Sulphur Springs, and Charles W. Cooke. Shortly uftei locating it they sold it to G'apt. Lewis and James Reece, of Pittsburg, who set up a small stamp mill, hut did not make a success of it. Tho capitalists left, and tho mine was neglected and abandoned, taxes became delinquent, the assessor's validation of thepropor ly was small, and the delinquent tax | duo was only ninety cents.

Farmers would come into town with a bunch of cattle, or load of farming products, and next morning they would be. found along the road¬ side suffering from a wound and minus tho proceeds of their sale.

A Washington special says: The secretary of war has appointed a board of engineer officers, comprising Col- onel Gillespie and Majors Adams and Raymond to proceed at once to Savan¬ nah, Ga., to investigate certain reports that have come to the war department to the effect that the work upon the river and harbor improvements of Sa¬ vannah river and Cumberland sound under the charge of Captain Oberlin M. Carter, of the engineer corps, has not been done in accordance with the project of the department. It is ex¬ pressly stated at the war department that there is no statement of irregular¬ ity in the accounts of Captain Carter, but merely a change of departure from the authorized plans of of the depart¬ ment. The captain enters a most emphatic denial that he lias done anything that was not in the interest of the United States government. The 1 orrd appointed to inquire into the matter is composed of the ablest men in the engineer corps. Colonel Gillespie is president of the Missis¬ sippi river commission, stationed at New York. Major Adams for years was the riglithand man of the chief of engineers at Washington and is now stationed at New York, while Major Raymond has charge of important works in Pennsylvania and a Dela¬ ware section. FLANAGAN BROUGHT TO BAY. Murderer Escapes From His Cell and Is Recaptured After a Struggle. Great excitement prevailed in De¬ catur and Atlanta Wednesday over the report that Edward Flanagan, twice murderer, had escaped from the De¬ catur jail during Tuesday night. When Sheriff Austin went up to the cells to carry Flanagan his breakfast at 7 o’clock Wednesday morning the murderer was missing. An alarm was at once raised and a search immediate¬ ly instituted. One of the searching parties found the murderer in another and unused cell of the jail into which he had mysteriously gained admit¬ tance and hid. When discovered Flanagan showed fight and attempted to brain one of tho intruders. In making the capture a desperate struggle ensued, in which Flanagan was finally brought to bay by a blow on the head from a scantling in the hands of the village blacksmith.

From the Nero Era , Qreensburg , Ind. The St. Paul correspondent for the New Era recently had an item regarding the case of Mabel Stevens, who had just recovered from a serious illness of rheumatism an ( l nervous trouble, and was able to be out for the first time in three months. The letter stated that it was a very bad case and her recovery was considered such a surprise to the neighbors that it created considerable gossip. Being anxious to learn tho absolute facts in tlio case, a special reporter was sent to have a talk with the girl and her parents. They were not; at home, however, being some distance away. A message was sent to Mr. Stevens, asking him to write up a full history of the case, and a few days.ago the following letter was received from Mrs. Stevens: “St. Paul, Ind., Jan. 20, 1807. Editors Nero Era, Greensburg, Ind. “Beau Sirs: Your kind letter received and I am glad to have the opportunity to tell you about the sickness and recovery of Mabel. TVo don't want any newspaper no¬ toriety, but in a case like tills where a fow words of what I have to say may moan ro- covery for some child, I feol it my duty to tell you of her case. “Two years ago tliis winter Mabel began complaining pally of pains in her limbs, princi¬ in her lower limbs. She was going to school, and had to walk about three quar¬ ters of a mile each day, going through all kinds of weather. She was thirteen years old and doing so well in her studies that I disliked to take her from school but we had to do it. “For several months she was confined to the house, and she grew palo and dwindled down to almost nothing. Her legs and arms were drawn lip and her appearance was pitiful. Several doctors had attended her, but it seemed that none of them did her any good. They advised us to take her to tho springs, but times were so hard we could not afford it, although we finally managed, to get her to the Martinsville baths. Here she grow suddenly weaker, and it seemed that she could not stand if, but she became better, and it seemed that she was being benefited, but she suddenly grew worse, and we had to bring her home. “She lingered along, and last winter be¬ came worse again, and was afflicted with a nervous trouble almost like tho St. Vitus’ dance. For some tiino we thought she would die, and the physicians gave her up. When she was at her worst a neighbor came in with a box of Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for Pale People and wanted us to try them as they were advertised to be good for such cases, and her daughter had used them for nervousness with such good results that she thought they might help Mabel. “We tried them.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in- cur; iblc. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from Id drops to a teaspoonful. It, acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes monials. Address F.J. Chknky& Co.,Toledo, o.

PETERSON’S ST(M£Y I have suffered with womb trprfule over fifteen 3 'ears. I had inflammation, enlargement and displacement of the womb. !■ The doctor wanted me to take treat¬ ments, but I had just begun taking Mrs. Pinkham's sCsaBAgag u i i n i Compound, and BPBM my husband ,B said I had better wait i and see how much good tlmt i would do ' ■i i me. I was so sick when I began with her medicine, I could hardly be on my feet. I had the backache con¬ |\1 stantly, also headache, and was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it seemed as tljough my heart was in my throat at times choking me. I could not walk around and I could not lie down, for then my heart would beat so fast I would feel as though I was smothering. I had to sit up in bed nights in order to breathe. I was so weak I could not do anything. I have now taken several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com¬ pound, and used three packages of Sanative Wash, and can say I am perfectly cured. I do not think I could have lived long if Mrs., Pink- ham’s medicine had not helped me.__ Mrs. Joseph Peterson, 513 East St.. 1 Warren, Pa. [f>=?
