SALINE, WASHTENAW CO., MICH., THURSDAY OCTOBER 6, 1898. VOL. XVIH.-rNO^a.
A Timely Invention.
Mrs. Cornelius Chadwlck, wife of
Capt. Chadwick, of the cruiser New
Yorli, has Sad adopted by the government an invention of hers for carrying-wounded men. It is an ingenious
contrivance, and will doubtless be of
great nse in the present war. Thousands have already been ordered by
the government. The carrier is made
of an oblong strip of canvas, 2_ feet
wide and five or six feet long. It is
carried by two men, who have a light,
harjiess-like arrangement passing over
their shoulders, with a belt about the
waist. When a wounded man is to
be carried he is laid upon the canvas,
and the bearera stooping down snap
the longer strap into rings on the canvas at his feet. The short strap Is
then caught on rings on the carrier
pear his head, the walgt belt straps
being on rings at the center of the can-
yas, This arrangement allows the
carrier always to have one hand free.
It is to be used on board ship as well
8§ pn the battlefield. Mrs. Chadwick
invented this ingenious arrangement
when at, Key West, while the North
Atljintie stmaflron was waiting for the
outbreak of the war. An eastern man-
* ufacturer of hospital supplies Is making these carriers. Under a special order a rush supply of them has already
been, forwarded to the navy department.
Use of Coal on tbe Seal.
The amount 01 coal consumed by a
Vessel during a voyage depends very
largely upon the speed, for the consumption of coal increases almogt'iB
a" geometrical ratio to tie speefl. "fJigPS
gre many ships which burn from. "".6)6
|o 300 tens pf eeal pep day, the lewegt
gansumptton being whep. the vgssel is
gig-iming at a moderate rate, 0«r mm-*
ef-war do »o't consume so much in proportion as swift passenger steamers
which ply between Europe and America, for, unless in an emergency, they
are not driven at the highest attainable
speed. The ocean passenger steamers
often burn from 2,500 to 3,500 tons during a voyage lasting six or seven days,
though, of course, as already stated, the
amount is largely dependent on the
speed.—"London Globe.

AMENITIES OF SHEEP RAISING,
The Largest Cask in the World.
At Goenigstein is the largest cask in
the world. It was begun in 1722 and
finished in 1725. The diameter of this
cask is twenty-six feet. The cask, as
soon as finished, was filled with .6,000
quintals of good Meissen wine, which
cost £6,000 sterling. It contains 64S
hogsheads more than the famous tun of
Heidelberg. The top of the cask Is
railed in, and affords sufficient room
for fifteen or twenty persons to regale
themselves; and several sorts of large
goblets, called welcome cups, are offered to those who delight In such
honors.
Carious Discovery ot a Church.
At Soulac, in Gascony, a cross was
lately discovered projecting above the
6and. Further investigation showed
:hat it waa attached to a steeple, and
later, a well-preserved church of the
ihirteenth century was excavated. The
shurch is now in use.
A sad spirit is like a rainy day; its
mists and shadows darken the brightest sky, and clothe fairest landscape in
gloom.—Longft-llow.

Occasionally Xhe; End In the Death of
One or More Rancheros.
Under the present land laws any
man has a right to graze any amount
of stock on any portion of the public
lands (forest, Indian, and military re-
serresand national parks excepted) al
any "time. Naturally, sheep are very
close grazers, and an area on which
they are pastured can not be used for
either cattle or horses. "They wtgEL't
work together." Further.mqri," fhe'|n
are herded stgQji, wliife" cattle a»5
hers-53* are never herded. As a result,
a sheep owner can drive his "sheep to
any portion of the public range he may
select, and can therefore exercise essentially* a prior right to any choice
piece of grazing land and exclude all
other stockmen from it. The only limit to a sheep owner's progress over the
public range is, first,- mutual **fegtis|ni;

neighbors as tg"5imits* second, -the use

ly these amenities end la the death
of one or more men by shooting. Persistent opposition to the grazing of
sheep in Oregon reserves is kept up
by the ranchers, who live along the
routes over which sheep are driven to
and from the mountains. These ranchers own plots of fenced arable land,
taken up for the most part under the
homestead act and containing as a rule
160 acres. This fenced area is not sufficiently large, in addition to the land
under cultivation, to furnish pasturage
fbr the few horses and cows required
to work the ranch and supply milk
and butter. Their only pasturagg ^4*;
Source, therefore—5'or undi|'r tlifT %&isii
ing*kj-asl li^ERs'they can neither'buy
nor lease any more land from the government—is to run the stock upon the
outside range. Between one rancher
and another the customary range of
his neighbor, though he has no title
to it, is respected. But many of the
sheep herders, not all, in driving their
bands toward the mountains in spring,
when the new grass is in excellent condition, without the slightest consi^et*;

lggs, to payTi*ieiic'a':'scere of an earlier
year's quarrel, will drive their sheep
np to the very fences, and the grass
may be eaten off so close that for the
remainder of the season a cow can not
get a nibble. There is no law, except
the questionable law of the Winchester,
by which the rancher can defend his
home, and he earnestly supports the
demand for exclusion, believing that
if the sheep are kept out of the mountains the industry would be ruined and
his own little range left free.—Agrivjiil*;

A Singular Fact.
Thousands of People have Dyspepsia
and Don't Know it.
Dyspepsia is the cause of about nine-
tenths of all'diseases. yetln most cases
the wrong thing is treated and^the true
cause overlooked, singly because dys-
pepsia'prodqees symptoms resembling
rpany other diseases. A weak and diseased stomach causes hear*; trouble,
kidney disease, weaH lungs, and nervous debility. The nervous system
cannot stand the wear and tear, unless
supported by well digested food.
Keep the stomach in good order with
Drake's Dyspepsia Cure and NeryeEte-
storer and neednot fear disease.'! he
reason why this remedy is unfailing in
the treatment of all stomach and nerve
troubles is because it is designed for
these peculiar troubles only, being a
combined method treatment. A great
mistake is made by persons thus alfj ;
ted in neglecting to. tce^t t*-*.ein$elves

It is an ingenious contrivance, and will doubtless be of great nse in the present war. Thousands have already been ordered by the government.

It is carried by two men, who have a light, harjiess-like arrangement passing over their shoulders, with a belt about the waist. When a wounded man is to be carried he is laid upon the canvas, and the bearera stooping down snap the longer strap into rings on the canvas at his feet. The short strap Is then caught on rings on the carrier pear his head, the walgt belt straps being on rings at the center of the can- yas, This arrangement allows the carrier always to have one hand free.
