NEWARK- - , A RKAN5AS.
FOUGHT THE HESSIANS.
Curious Record of a Hero of tha
Revolutionary War.
Daniel M. Armstrong, now N!
vears old, lias boon for many roars
a citizen of Sumner county, suvs
the Wellington (Kan.) Mail. The
father of Mr. Armstrong served in
the revolutionary war, and lie is
one of the few Americans who can
boast of such a close connect ion
with the birth of our government.
The grandfather of Mr. Arm
strong was smuggled away from
Scotland to escape the conse
quences of a revolution in which
he had engaged. He remained for
three days headed up in a hogs
Head in t he hold of a ship while t In*
ship was taking cargo at a Scottish
port. Arriving in America, lie en
listed in Washington's army. Jh*
iiig incapacitated for duty, he of
fered his youngest son, the fatliei
of the Ku nsas A mist long, to take
his place in the army. As the boy
was but Id years old, W ashington
asked to see him before he was en
listed, and tin* boy went to \\ asle
ington’s camp and wit!i his ritle
hit a half dollar which Washing
ton put up at a given distance to
test his marksmanship. The lad
served until the war was over,
seeing the surrender at >i orktown.
He was twice wounded, once by a
bullet in tin* thigh. His other
wound was in his right wrist, and
he always contended it was in
flicted by a Hessian with a bayo
net in a hand to hand tight. This
fact had an important bearing on
his after life. From that day for
ward every time a Hessian spoke
to him Armstrong promptly
knocked the Hessian down, who
ever he might be, and regardless
of his size or age. This led to in
numerable tisl tights. One char
acteristic of tin* Hessian was 1 hat
he vould always bite his antagon
ist1. As a result, when Joseph
•Armstrong died lie did not have a
whole finger or i humb. Some part
of them all had been bit ten off by
the Hessians with whom Ik* had
fought.
HOW TO STERILIZE WATER.
Purification Effected by a Few Drops
of Chloride of Silver.
Tin* constantly increasing do
tnand for pure wafer ami for some
method by means of which this
can lit' obtained renders the re
cent communication made 1>\ Prof.
Paterno to the Heale Academia
dei Lincei especially interesting,
says the Tribuna iKomej. Prof.
Pateino has suggested a process
for the purification of drinking
water which constitutes a great
step forward in tin* stu<i\ of this
important problem. From mi mel
ons and extensive experiments
made by this author it appears
that by adding to impure water,
even that containing pathogenic
microbes, an extremely small
quantity of chloride of silver there
is accomplished the complete dis
infection of the water. For this
purpose t wo milligrams or at most
two and one-half milligrams of
the chloride are sufficient to nl>
solutely sterilize a liter of water
and to eliminate every danger of
infection. The process is so sim
pie that one cannot expect any im
provement upon it in the future;
it may be used by anyone and in
every condition of life, the steri
lization being complete after a
few minutes—ten at the most —
and no apparatus being necessary
beyond a small vial with a solu
tion of chloride of silver.
The water keeps its flavor and
all of its projjerties without modi
ttcation, only undergoing a slight
whitening, which disapjiears after
a few hours of repose. Water
purified by means of boiling, ozone
and all other processes known up
to the present, when exposed to
the air soon becomes impure,
whereas the process of I'rof. I’a
terno keeps the water pure for
many mouths.
TIMBER SUNK IN RIVER BEDS.
Fortune Awaits the Inventor of a
Method to Recover It.
“If some scheme < on Id hi* do
vised;'' said George \V. Noble, of
Stillwater, at the IMankinton, to
! a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter,
by which t lie sunken Ions which til!
the beds of rivets and creeks in
j the Inline seel ions of this coun
try could only be recovered, im
mense fortunes would be made.
| Along 1 he St. < Voix waters it is i s
Miniated that logs enough are im
bedded in the sand of river bot
toms to keep mills running for
years. Under present conditions
the loss is total, for no successful
method has ever l>een devised to
elfect this saving.
“< fccasionally logs cut years ago
are forced by the washings of
Hoods from their sand beds and
lriven upon t he shores, where t ho
action of sun and wind dries them
out sufficiently so that they will
lloat downstream, but the per
eentajp of logs recovered is small
and millions of dollars' worth of
property is lost beyond recovery
until some enterprising genius in
\ents a machine or process to re
cover t he t imber.
' \\T lOgS OCfil SIOUU IIV

marks in use half a century ago,
and when i hoy a pj tear the old lum
bermen grow reminiscent of men
who have been long forgotten,
lull who were important operators
in the pioneer logging days of
Wisconsin and Minnesota.
“Strange as it may appear, the
value of the timber is not less

merged for half or quarter of a
century. Efforts have been occa

SPORT WITH K;.;X3 IN IT.
Golf Record Aided by a Crew—Cricket
Ball in a Tree.
It is ;> gorgeous story lh;it
comes from i la* golf links of < airo.
and every good golfer will here
after carry a gun in his bag of
dubs if lie wishes to overlook no
fine points, says the Illustrated
Sporting News. Alter a splendid
drive, a Cairo player watch* d the
ball rull over t lie distant turf,
when, to his horrified amazement,
a crow swooped down and t arried
it aloft. The golfer and the caddie
put off in chase, t lie caddie cursing
in fluid Arabic. Then, to tin* d
light of the golfer, the crow
dropped the ball on the green, and
! ho holed out in two strokes, which
put Colonel llogie out of commis
sion. The opponent was threat
ened with apoplexy. As in the
case of tin* Indian football trick
of a player's sticking the ball un
der his jersey, there was every
kind of rule in the book except one
to cover t lit1 unexpected, and the
golfer's record, ably assisted by
his crowshij), had to stand. Many
I years ago in Kngland, before a
rule was made to fit a similar
emergency in cricket, it is related
that a hatsman knocked a ball into
| a tall tree, where it bulged in the
crotch of a limb. There was no
• limbing the tree, and the nearest
ax was a half mile away. I.efore
it could be obtained, and the tree
chopped down, the man with the
bat made more than 700 runs,
hurtling between the wickets like
a human shuttlecock. Hestopped
scoring runs then only because lie
ran himself out of strength and
breath and fell on the turf, still
feebly trying to pile up another
! run. with out* weary eye rocked
: on the free and all t lie opposing
side frantically trying to chop ;;|
once.

an Illustrative In*tauee of
lit no ranee.
The barber tucked a towel under a
customer's chin and then cleared his
throat, relates the Philadelphia Press.
“A victim I mean a customer of mine,"
he began, "told me a story the other day
which illustrates to my mind, at least,
that some men really don't know the dif
ference between patent medicine and
Schuylkill water. It was this way:
“This customer of mine had a friend
who had a great deal of trouble with his
hair. It was all the time falling out. He
asked all his friends what he could get
to keep it in. Most of them suggested
that he get a basket, but finally one of
them told him of a patent medicine.
“.So the man whose hair was bothering
him got a bottle of the medicine and dis
covered that it was a dark brown --1 i~ky
stuff that he was to rub on his hair the
times a day. He tried it the first day,
and it appeared to do good, but the sec
ond day some one got there first, and
emptying the bottle of medicine, filled it
up with sarsaparilla. And all day long
that jioor man rubbed the soft drink on
his hair and never noticed the difference.
But he did notice, though, that there was
an unusually large number of tlies swarm

“ Dkait Mrs. Pinkham :— Your med
icine is indeed an ideal woman’s medi

restore lost health and strength. I
suffered misery for several years, being
troubled with menorrhagia. My back
ached, I had bearing-down pains and
frequent headaches. I would often
wake from restful sleep, and in such
pain that I suffered for hours before I
could go to sleep again. I dreaded the
long nights as much as the weary days.
1 consulted two different physicians,
hoping to get relief but finding that
their medicine did not sev.m to cure me.
I tried your Vegetable Compound
on the recommendation of a friend
from the Ea.,t who was visiting me.
“ I ain glad that I followed her ad
vice, for every ache and pain is gone,
and not only this, but my general
health is much improved. I have a

CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON, OF OHIO
i'
Hon. David Meekison is well Unown, not only in liis own State but through
out America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms
as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely
known as the founder of the Meekison Hank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected
to tlie Fifty-fifth Congress by a very largo majority, and is the acknowledged
leader of his party in his section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was hisonly
ui.conquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this
personal enemy. At last IVruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the follow
ing letter to Dr. Hartman as the result:

“I have used several bottles of Peruna and / feel greatly benefited
thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if
! use It a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of
thirty years’ standing.”—David Meekison, ex-Membcr of Congress.
THE season of catching cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal tuang aro to be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic
ca tarrh, the most common and dreadful
of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A personealchescold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has
a cold all the while seemingly, more or
less discharge from the nose, hawking,
spit.t ing, frequent idearing of the throat,
nostrils stopped tip, full feeling in the
head and sore, inflamed throat.
The best time to treat ca tarrh is at
the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna
properly used never fails to cure a com
mon cold, thus preventing chronic
catarrh.
While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Per mi a, yet. as a rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna lias cured cases innumer
able of catarrh of twenty vears’atand
ing. It is the best, if not the only
internal remedy for chronic catarrh in
existence.
Butprevention is far better t han enre.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore
throat at this season of t he year and
thus prevent what is almost certain to
end in chronic catarrh.
