Switzerland can put a well-equipped
army of 300,000 men o:i the frontiers in
ten days. This means that about‘even
percent, of the population of this little
republic of 3,000,000 people are prepared
at an hour’s notice to spring to arms in
its defense.
The Western custom of introducing
marriages at agricultural faits has got a
couple into trouble at Youngdown,
Ohio. The preacher who performed the
ceremony had not the necessary license
from the Probate Court, ami the mar
riage is illegal.
Hccent investigations have shown that
nearly a million pupils are in the public
schools of the Southern States; that the
amount of money expended annually for
schools is $11,545,000, and that since
IHHO the number of public schools has
been increased from 45,000 to 01,583.

1 Thirty-two years ago, when Mrs. Helen
Fralick was a little girl, sl.e was stolen
from her parents in Chicago while het
mother was a guest nt the former Lake
street hotel. Mother and daughter never
met from that day till a short time ago,
when her mother tailed at her house in
Syracuse, N. ¥., and fully identified her
long-lost daughter. A scar on Mrs.
Fralick’s chin and a portion of one of
her fingers being cut, off, both of which
marks she had borne since childhood,
satisfied the mother that she had found
her child.
Mr. .1. (J. A. Ward has received the

contract is for a life size figure in bronze,
the consideration being $25,000. The
fund raised for the work is somewhat
more than the above sum, ami consider
able additions have accrued from the
eulogy delivered by Dr. Joseph Parkerat
the Brooklyn Academy of Music. This
surplus will be appropriated to a granite
pedestal which will he paneled with has
reliefs representing < haracteristic scene!

The four thousand Indians who still
live on reservations in New York State
nre increasing in number. The popular
impie siou that our Indians me dying
out is. ia fact, incorrect so far as relates
to Indians who hue abandoned mi
gratory life and become partly or wholly
civilized. The Cherokees of thlndian
Territory have nearly doubled in num
ber since 1810, and the remnant of the
six nations, now settled on farms in
Canada, numbers eight thousand souls,
and has 1 e n steadily growing since the
tribes abandoned their wild habits mid
took to agriculture.
The New York State Agricultural So
ciety is preparing to hold twenty farmers’
institutes this winter with the appropria
ation made by the last Legislature. The
community in which an institute is held
will be expected to furnish n suitable
place for meeting, and warm and light
th" same, and furnish music, if such is
desired, at evening sessions t>ne third
of the speakers, which may include any
ladies who may be able to interest and
instruct the spectators, are to prepare
short articles on such subjects as shall
most concern the locality, the industry
tola' encouraged or dis ouraged always
to be among the topics for discussion. It
will be necessary that two counties be
accommodated at each institute, as there
are nearly sixty counties in the State
which these institutes nre intended to
enlighten. It is claimed the few insti
tutes held last winter have shown the
great power they possess as educational
helps in arousing the farmers to a closer
study of their pursuit and a more care
ful wati hing of their interests.
A STRANGE AFFLICTION
A YOUNG GIRL TRANSFORMED
INTO A PEEVISH OLD WOMAN.
Iler Vitality Destroyed b.v an Acci
dental Shock Received in an
Elec “fl.; Light Establishment.
On the Beckavtlle road, about six
miles from the town of Lorraine, Ohio,
lives a farmer named Max Harman, who
came from Pennsylvania about a year
ago, Harman's family consists of a wife
and three children. The oldest, named
Mary, is a young lady nineteen years of
age, who has passed through one of the
Strangest and most painful experiences
which ever fell to the lot of a lr man be
ing.
A short time ago she was a plump,
rosy-cheeked girl, in robust health and
of a sunny disposition. To-day, through
the i tflucnccof n most peculiar accident,
she is in all but years a shrunken, peevish
old woman. The story of this strange
metamorphosis is as follows:
Mary was engaged to be married to a
man naufed Jacob Ebertin, who worked
for Mr. Harman and made his home with
the family. About two months ago the
young couple came to Cleveland to make
some purchases and see the sights. Ono
of the young man’s friends worked in
one of the electric light establishments
at the time.
Ebertin proposed to take his future
bride through the place and show her
the machinery. It appears that a broken
wire of her punier or bustle, had, un
pen rived. worked its way through her
dress. While passing along the wire
came in contact with one of the powerful
electric machines, and her hand, resting
on an iron bar at the time, completed
the current, and she received a severe
shock, and fell insensible to the floor.
In a few moments she revived suf
ficiently to be removed from the place,
and was taken to her home. Medical aid
was summoned, and for four days the
girl lay in bed in a paralyzed condition.
Then she regained the use of her limbs,
but immediately began to lose flesh
rapidly, the hair on the left side of her
head turned gray, and began falling
out. After four weeks Miss Harman
was able to be about, but in
that time she had been tran formed
from a young, handsome girl into a feeble
old woman. Her form, which had been
plump and rounded, was thin and bent,
and the skin on her face and body was
dry and wrinkled. She had been a
sweet tempered, affectionate girl, but is
now peevish, irritable and selfish. Her
voice is harsh and cracked, and no one to
l<> >\ nt Ivt would imagine that she was
less than sixty years of age.
The Harman family are horrified and
well nigh heart-broken by the fate of their
once handsome daughter, while young
Ebertin is almost frantic over the change
in his affianced bride.
The physicians claim that the electric
current communicated directly with the
principal nerves of the spine and left
side of the head, and that the shock al
most completely destroyed their vitality.
Instances in which a person’s hair has
turned white in a single night from fright,
grief or some excessive nervous shock are
not rare, but this is supposed to he the
first case in medical history in which a
person has been known to step from the
bloom of vigorous youth into the decrepi
tude-of old age within a week.— Neio
York (Iraphir,
Zeal Without Knowledge.
A well-known New York lady, whose
name is the synonym for all that is
benevolent and charitable, especially re
garding the helpless and poverty-stricken
of her own sex, has her summer home in
one of the most beautiful spots on the
Hudson, surrounded by forest trees of
greit age and magnificence. It occurred
to her lost autumn that it would be kind
to give to a party of city working-girls
mi opportunity to go “chestnutting” upon
these grounds. But as a matter of fact
the chestnuts were then very scarce; yet,
not to disappoint the girls, a servant was
sent to the city with instructions to pur
chase a bushel or two of the nuts and
scatter them around under the chestnut
trees, where they would be most likely to
be found by the visitors. They were
found by the merry-hearted young
women, and their hostess would have
derived great satisfaction from their en
joyment and the success of her benevo
lent little fraud if she had not chanced
to come upon several of them sitting
under a tree that clearly was not a chest
nut, and heard ouc of them, who must at
some time have lived in the country, dis
discoursing after this fashion as they
nibbled the nuts:
“1 say, girls, I can’t understand how
these boiled chestnuts came to grow on
an oak tve?”
They don’t say “chestnuts” in that
lion-ehold now; they say "boiled oak
nuts.”
Hints for Modern Barbers.
Our Saxon ancestors appear to have
devoted considerable attention to the
subject of th-ir hair. Though ignorant
of mile is-aroil, lh“y discovered that dead
be- burnt to ashes, ami seethed in oil
with loaves of w illow, wou'd -top hair
from falling off; but should the hair be
too :hi k, then must a swallow be burned
to ashes under a tile, and the ashes bo
sprinkled on the head. But in order
altogether to prevent the grow th of hair,
emmets' eggs rubbed on .he place are
I,mud in iTectu.d depilatory ; "ne'er will
anv hair come there. "- Sixteenth Ceil

A Novel Musical Device.
The latest musical device is a con
necting wheel and belt for hitching one
of the heap reed organs that play tunes
by means of punctured sheets of paper
to the fly w heel of a sewing machine, SB
that poor seamstresses who used to have
no music but the thump, thump of the
pedal can now make shuts and trousers
to the melody of 'Hold the Fort.” The
old juvenile poem must now bo altered
to She shall have music whenever she

DODGE’S C.C. C. C.
Certain Chicken Cholera Cure,
Eight years of careful experiment an d pains
taking research have resulted in the discovery
of an infallible specific fur the cure and pre
vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy
of the feathered tribe—Cholera. After the
fullest and fairest tests possible, in which every
claim for the remedy was fully substantiated,
the remedy was placed upon the market, and
everywhere a single trial has been all that was
required to prove it a complete success. The
directions for its use are plain and simple, and
the cost of the remedy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will* repay the expense. Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is
given as directed, the course of the disease is
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
xentive, there need be no fear of Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other
diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. It
wilLdo all that is claimed for it. Read the fol
lowing testimonial :
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1887
To the Public : The high character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth and
veracity, afford convincing evidence Os the
high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure he is
now offering upon the market. If I were en
gaged in the business, I would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would attend its administration.
