Condttlonjof the Crown Prince
I .ONDON, Nov. 17.—Dispatches re
ceived here to-day from San lieuio, say
that there has been a discharge of green
matter from the crown prince's throat
which proved to be cancerous. In view
of this f*ct, his case is considered much
worse, as this kind of soft cancer is of
a most malignant type and is regarded
as incurable. The German doctots, the
reports say, are trying to deny the seri
ous and almost critical developement of
the crown prince's ailment, which is
now clinically and pathalogically clear.

Sad Accident to a Hunter.
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 17.—A
gunning excursion, gotten up by some
Wilmington business men, ended
most £ sadly Tuesday. The objective
point was Kirkwood, about sixteen
miles south of this city, and thither
they went early this morning. At
Kirkwood the excursionists were joined
by some friends living in that vicinity,
and the forenoon was pleasantly spent
in shooting quail. The gunners had
been invited to dine at the farmhouse
of John Lefevre, ope of the party, and
while the table was being spread the
men assembled in groups upon the
lawn and the front porch. A few sec
onds later one of the guns, which had
been placed against a tree fell and ex
ploded,its contents striking Thomas J.
Brown who was killed,but Mr. Lefevre
was only slightly irjured. Mr. Brown
was about forty eight years old,a promi

ALASKA GLACIERS.— Afier a visit to
some of the Alaska glaciers, Mr. Thom
as Meeban states that beneath the
Muir glacier, said to be 400 miles long,
flows a rapid torrent, which he esti
mates to be 100 feet wide, and foui
feet in average deptb, and which runs
summer and winter without interrup
tion. At its termination the glacier
hangs over the sea, and gives off ice
bergs. Mr. Meeban remarks that the
great ice-sheets have their lakes,rapids,
waterlalls, hills and valleys ; that the
water-ways change their courses at
times through the melting ; and that
melting progresses freely in the sun's
rays but not in the shade.

BUIPKI> WITH THK PRKSIOKNT.
Tlie Ordeal of a Young College Stu
dent Who Was Trapped In a lien
Roost.
In the early years of this century,
when log houses were good enough for
the average Georgian, a certain doctor
presided over Franklin College.
The simple habits of their digniiled
sires did not prevent the boys of those
days from having their fun—indeed,
they carried on an amount of devilment
which the college boys of these times
would not consider respectable.
The buys thought that anything was
fair which would make one of the fac
ulty the victim of a joke, and on one
occasion they laid a dark plot to rob the
doctor's poultry yard and afterward cel
ebrate the event by a midnight ban
quet.
The doctor's chickens were the pride
of his domestic establishment, and he
had built for their accommodation a log
house. The logs were notched down'
at the corners and held in place by
their own weight and the roof.
At a late hour the boys repaired to
the hen house, armed with a fence rail.
It was an easy matter to insert the rail
between the two logs and prize up those
above, so as to make an opening
through which a man could crawl. A
dapper young fellow, who had visited
the doctor's daughters, went in and be
gan to pull the chickeue off the roost
and wring their necks. While he did
so the boys outside kept their weight
on the rail, and so kept the crack open
for his escape. The nice young man,
whom we will call Bob, had dropped a
bout a dozen chickens outside, aud [the
whole crowd was in high glee over the
prospective banquet, .lust then a big
old rooster crowed,
'Look out, Bob ; break the rooster's
ueck and stop his noise.'
4 Sh I What's that ?'
There was a low growl.
'Boys, you have let those logs down
too low ; lift them a little, so I can get
out. Be quick about it ?'
At this instant there was a loud bark
and a big dog bounded into the poultry
i aid. Ihe boys on the outside for an
instant SUHK! their ground. Tney drop
ped ttie rail and grabbed chance weap
ons to beat off the dog, but before I hey
could disable him the door of the doc
tor's residence opened and his tail ilg
ure appeared. The boys scattered, all
but one.
The logs had come together again
and Bab was a prisoner. lie crouched
in .t corner and held his breath, hoping
that he would l* overlooked, but the
told whne he u
By this time tire doctor had come up
and other members of the family came
out, eager to see who was caught in the
man trap.
'Why, it's Bob.'
'Who would have thought it ?' The
exclamations were heard in the house
aud echoed by the young ladies. Then
the door of the log house was ojwned
and the young man was sent to the dor
mitory. He was called before the fac
ulty the next morning. The poor fel
low would have sold himself for a song,
and expected to be peremptorily expell
ed and perhaps prosecuted.
Meantime the doctor had thought the
matter over. lie was a man of great
HwtftMiilv in Uw mau*giiueuL of boys,
and be recognized this freak as a piece
of wild mischief which might not be
meanness, lie resolved to give the
matter such disposition as would put a
sober head on the young man. Accor
dingly, w hen Bob appeared,looking like
aci imiual, the doctor lectured him ,se
yerely, but in a fatherly way, aud told
him that such an offence must not go
without a severe punishment.
Bob expected the sentence of his ex
pulsion. With measured tones, like a
judge pronouncing the death sentence,
the doctor said :
•Mr. , I will expect you to take
supper with me to-night, and, as you
show a fondness for chicken, the fowls
you took off the roost last night will be
on the table.'
Bob would rather haye been expelled.
But for the distress it would cause his
parents he would have gone home. In
spite of his larks there was good stuff
in Bob, and with a tremendous effort
he resolved to face the music.
It is impossible to describe the mental
agony Bob went through that evening
when he sat at the table where the doc
tor presided with courtly dignity.
llis elegant wife could not have been
more courteous to an honored guest
than she was to Bob, and her daughters
treated the young man as cordial as ev
er. Not a word was said about the af
fair of the night before, but the large
dish of chicken was like a mountain in
the poor boy's eyes. It was the reline
meut of torture when the doctor, with
the utmost suavity, helped him to the
choicest pieces.
The situation, which under ordinary
circumstances would have been ludi
crous, under the doctor's composure
and his wife's tact, was carried almost
to the pathetic.
It was a lesson written ou Bob's
memory io burning letters, and he nev
er forgot it.
A WIFE'S STRATEGY —"My dear,"
said a young wife to her husbat.d, wtio
had already fallen into the habit of go
ing to the lodge in the evening, aud
who was just preparing to go out, "I
am going up street io interview the
superintendent of the post office this
evening."
"Ah I indeed ; on what business,
pray ?"
"I want to see if be tan give me any
advice in regard to getting a habitually
late male In on time."
The husband blushed, pretended he
was looking for a newspaper instead of
his hat, and there was a member ab
sent from the lodge that nigbt.
Tue late Dr. Betbune once asked a
morose and miserly man how he was
getting along. The man replied:
'What business is that of yours ?' 'Oh,
Sir, I am one of those who an inter
est in the meanest of God's creatures.'
A GF.ORGIA paper says that Mr.
Wheeler, ot Hancock county, cut a wa

LKATHKRFROM lIt'MANSKIN.
A Flourishing Pennsylvania
Where It is Prepared for the
Shoemaker.
I remember that two or three years
ago I incidentally referred to a promi
nent physician of Philadelphia wearing
sliws made from the skin of negroes,
lie still adheres to that custom, insist
ing that the tanned hide of the African
makes the most enduring aud the most
pliable leather known to men.
Recently I met him upon the street
with a brand new pair of shoes. 1
looked at bis footwear, as I always do
—his pedal coverings have an irresisti
ble fascination for me—and said with a
smile, 'ls the down trodden African
still beneath your feet V' In the most
matter-of fact way, and without the
shiufow of a smile, he answered, 'I sup
pose you mean to inquire if I still wear
shoes made of the skin of a negro. 1
certainly do, and don't pro|ose chang
ing in that respect until 1 linda leather
that is softer and will last longer and
present a better appearance. 1 have no
sent I men t about this matter. Were I
southerner—in the American sense of
that word—l might be accused of lieing
actuated by a race prejudice. But 1
am a foreigner by birth, although now
an American citizen by naturalization.
I fought in thellebellion that the blacks
might be freed. I would use a white
man's skin for the same purpose if it
were sufficiently thick, and if any one
has a desire to wear my epidermis upon
his feet after I have drawn my last
breath he has uiy ante-mortem permis
sion.'
The doctor's shoes always exhibit a
peculiarly rich lustrousness in their
blackness. He assures me that they
never hurt his feet. The new pair he
was using when 1 last saw him emitted
no creaking sound and appeared as
comfortable as though tliey had been
worn a month. Their predecessors, he
told ine, had been in constant use for
eight months. He obtuius the skin
from bodies of negroes which have
have been dissected in one of our medi
cal colleges. The best leather is obtain
ed from the Hugh. The soles are form
ed by placing several layers of leather
together. The skin is prepared by a
tanner at Womelsdorf, lt miles from
Reading. The shoes are fashioned by
a French shoemaker ot l'liilsdelpliia.
who knows nothing ot the true charac
ter of the leather, but who oft 'ii won
ders at its exquisite smothness and sa>s
that it excels the flncst French calf
skin.
Do not for a moment think that this
doctor presents an exception il case ot"
one who puts the human akin to practi
cal use. Medical students frequently
display a great variety of articles in
which the skin or bones of some dis
sected mortal has been gruesoinely util
ized aud in bursts of generosity they
sometimes present these to their
friends, who prize them hi. lily. Oi.e
of the dudest dudes in Philadelphia car
ries a match-safe covered with aportiou
of the skin of a beautiful \oung woman
who was found drowned in the Dela
ware River. It still retains its natural
color. Another young man with whom
I am acquainted carries a cigar case
made of negro skin, a gastly skull and
cross-bones appearing on one side in re
lief. One of the liest known *orrmn
in ciiio Cuuuii), wno resides in Phila
delphia,has a beautiful instrument case
entirely covered with leather from ai:
African's skin. A young society lady
of Philadelphia, wears a beautiful pair
of dark slipiers, the remarkable lus
trousness of whose leather invariably
excites the admiration of her friends
when they see them. The young doc
tor who presented theui to her recently
returned from an extended foreign tour
and he told her he had purchased them
from a Turk in Alexandria and that lie
did not know what sort of leather they
were made of, but he supposed it was
the skin of some wild animal. As a
matter of fact, the skin came from a
negro cadaver which once was prone
on a Jefferson College dissecting table,
and the ltather was prepared in Wom
elsdorf. The rosettes on the slippers
were deftly fashioned from the negro's
kinky hair.
A Couple of Stirring Scenes.
In the earlier days of Colorado min
ing camps there were some very stir
ring scenes and adventures, and the
tender feet were broken in without
much ceremony sometimes. I remem
ber visiting a certain camp when it was
quite new, and saving a man's life the
first night. lie was in the bed next to
mine in the tent, and about midnight
an order came for him to get up, as he
was wanted. He was asked to lose no
time as he was to be summarily tried
for having shot ara in. I jumped up
and declared that the man was innocent,
but I was shown the muzzle of a forty
two caliber and told to lie down. How
ever, as there was no help for it. I said
I would accoppany the accused, who
was nearly frightened out of his wits.
We went down to one who was styled
"the justice,"and the complaint was
lodged that the prisoner had shot a
man. As he could say nothing to his
own behalf, I spoke for him, and stated
that at the time the shooting was said
to haye occurred the accused was sound
ly sleeping. Just then a stranger ap'
peared and announced that lie did the
shooting, and proved that it was*in self
defense,* and the matter was all settled.
Next day wc were treated to a little
"fun." A tin can was tied to an unwel
come visitor's coat tail and he was told
to "git" He lost no time in striking a
two-forty gait, ana as he flew down
the road the can dangling behind him
was a mark for all the restjof the boys
to "take a crack at." More than one of
them hit the can, too, and I am not
sure but that I made it quiver myself.
We thought it was very funny,and so
did the poor victim—perhaps.
IN the Philippine Islands luminous
paint is U9ed as a safeguard against
earthquakes. Patches of the paint are
so placed throughout dwellings that
the occupants may bequickly guided to
the street at night OT: the first warning
of an earthquake. Time for escape is
thus gained before the buildings fall.
A TREACHER was complaining of the
listlessness and inattention of bis con
gregation, when an old Deacon spoke
up and said : 'Hungry sheep will look
up to the.rack|if there is hay la it."

When tlie Indian receives an injury,
lie does not seek a cure in mineral poi
sons, but binds on the simple leaf, ad
ministers tlie herbal tea, and, with na
ture's aid, comes natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced
tlie wilderness, built their uncouth hut
comfortable log cabins and started the
clearings in the woods, which in time
became the broad, fertile fields of the
modern farmer, found in roots and
herbs that lay close at hand nature's
potent remedies for all their common
ailments, it was only in very serious
cases they sent for old 'saddle-bags'
with bis physic, which (juite as often
killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too
far away from nature, in every way, for
its own good. Our grandfathers uud
grandmothers lived wholesomer, purer,
better, healthier, more natural lives
than we do. Their minds were not fill
- with noxious isms, nor their bodies
saturated with poisonous drugs.
Is <t not time to make a change, to
return to the simple vegetable prepara
tions of our grandmothers, which con
tained the power aud latency of nature
as remedial agents, and in all the oidi
nary ailments were efficacious, ut least
harmless ?
The propiietors of Warner's Log
Cabin Remedies have thought so, and
have put on the market a number of
these pure vegetable preparations,made
from formulas secured after searching
into tlie annuls ol the past.so that those
who wuut them need not bo without
them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies
will be found 'Log Cabin barsaparilla,'
for the blood,* 'Log Cabin Hops and
Hucliu Remedy,' a tonic and stomach
remedy; ' J.og Cabin Cough and Con
sumption Remedy,' 'Log Cabin Seal
pine,* for strengthening and renewing
the hair; 'Log Cabin Extract.' for
both external and internal application ;
'Log Cabin Liver Rills;' 'Log Cabin
Rose Cream,' an old but effective rem
edy for catarrh, and 'Log C.tbiu Plas

prepared from recipes which were
found, after long investigation, to have
been those most susctssfully used by
our grandmothers of 'ye -olden time/ |
They are the simple, vegetable, effica
