RINCWOOD DEPARTMENT WEEKLY LETTER COMPILED BY PHIL 8. HARRISON. During the civil war, as well as in our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many in­ stances it became chronic and the old soldiers still suffer from it. Mr. David Taylor, of Wind Ridge, Greene Co., Pa., is one of these. He uses Chamberlain 's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and says he never found anything that would give him such quick relief. It is for sale by Julia A. StoVy, Druggist, McHenry ill.

JUST SAVED FROM DEATH. Railway Engineer Stops Hla Locomo­ tive After It Had Planed Down Two Men. I specially visited the mud row, situ­ ated between Tollcross and Carmyle, about eight miles from Ail-drie, one afternoon, to interview the lads who re­ cently received the first honors and four stripes from the newly acquired whipping apparatus at Airdie, writes a correspondent of the London Star. The apparatus is shaped like the breastpiece of a violin, is about five feet long by three feet broad. The boy is fastened on by leather straps on his arms and knees and the weapon iB an ordinary birch rod. "You show up the Airdrie authori­ ties," said the mother of a lad named Allen to me. I asked him--a bright wee chap of ten--if he would like to vis­ it Airdrie again. The boy was equal to the occasion and promptly answered no. He was the first to be birched; he had four stripes, and all he has to com­ plain of was that the man waited such a long time between the strokes. He was not favorably impressed with the executioner. He was a big man, says he, with a great, big reQ face --arid a doctor looked on. He did not Bmile when he received the first lash; it was very sore (Anglice, painful). It felt like a big bunch of "jaggy" leather. A brother said he would have paid five pounds sterling if he could have pre­ vented the lad being lashed. The other boys spoke in the same strain, and did not relish the introduction of ma­ chinery, though the punishment ap­ pears no more degrading than a school birching. That is a form of school dis­ cipline unknown in Scotch board schools, where palmies, or strokes on the palm of the hand with a cane, is the prevailing method of administering punishment. . A thrilling incident occurred recent­ ly at the B. & O. S. W. railroad bridge over Hogan creek, Lawrenceburg, Ind. Two men, reports the Cincinnati En­ quirer, named Hatch and Powell were walking across the bridge when train No. 4, known as the "Newspaper Train," from St. Louis, came rolling down upon them. It was too great a distance from end to end of the bridge for the men to escape in that way, and to leap from it meant a fall of 60 feetand almost cer­ tain death. To lie down on each side of the track was almost sure death, as there was not. room enough. In terror the two men laid down by the side of the rails. Frank Evans, the engineer, saw the men arid reversed his engine with such promptness and applied the brakes with such energy that the fly­ ing train was brought to a sudden standstill. It was none too soon, for when the engine stopped the two men lay pinioned, bruised and bleeding, be­ neath the ponderous engine that held them fast in the very jaWs of an im­ pending death. Evans called out the helpless men: "Keep quiet, I will save you," then slowly backed the train off the imprisoned men and off the bridge, so that they could crawl out of the reach of further danger. Their clothes were in rags, but their limbs were unbroken. "Mntllatloa" of Trees. A prefect in a certain French town issued a declaration ordering severe measures to be taken against divers ma­ licious persons who amused theipselves by stripping the bark from the plane trees bordering the public promenade. "The trees thus mutilated," so ran the aftiche, "present a most pitiable ap­ pearance." However, as, in spite of the prefect's^declaration, the "mutilation" continued unabated, the worthy func­ tionary summoned his head clerk to consult with him on the matter. There­ upon the clerk informed him that, as the plan£ trees themselves shed their bark every year, it would be futile to institute proceedings against such in­ corrigible offenders. The clerk seemed amused, but the prefect did not; the notices were removed with more than official dispatch/ CASTOR l A For Infants and Children.

Agitation antl K«1 uratloa It cannot be denied that great advance has been made in intelligent public sentiment along the lines of temperance. This advance may be seen in laws requiring that scientific temperance instruction be given to all children in the public schools and also that these laws have been made in all save four states in our great Republic, AU this is the direct result of agita­ tion and education. Therefore agitation and education should be redoubled. There is no other way--never hw been any other way from the hegining until now, This arousing of public sentiment upon this great question, is requisite to the well being, and future safety of our republic. To attract the attention of millions of drinkers in this country, to their impending danger, to make popular through the public school, the press and the pulpit, the underlying principles of temperance should inspire every earnest worker to united effort to do his utmost for the accomplishment of this laudable purpose and to hasten the final overthrow of that monstrasity of this Christian age and country, the legalized liquor traiic. To achieve this result men and women must work together each giving proper and just recognition to the other. Reform Associations must not sacra- fice principle to policy, this entails loss as the last years of our temperance reform has demonstrated. Human mistakes often hinder, but thank God; they have not killed and cannot kill any moral reform. Truth wins at last. Excursion Tickets to Franklin Grove Camp Meeting.
