a Strange Story about Richelien's Head
From the New York Mai.
On the 10Th Of December, 1865, the re-
mains Of Cardinal Richelieu were to be re-
inferred with solemn ceremonies at the
Church OF the Sarbonne, in Paris Some
occasion occurred for opening the coffin,
when 1t was found that the head was miss
ing. The fact was noised abroad; when,
suddenly the missing head turned up at
-BlarrItz, IL the possession of one M. Armez
an ex-deputy, who presented it to the En-
peror, enclosed in an elegant box covered
j and lined with velvet. This very head
which once SO proudly wore csrdinal's
scarlet hat, and which enclosed the Won
derful brain which had ruled both the king
and the Regent of France, tyrannized over
the queen, banished the queen, mother,
and which instigated long series of
bloody wars and SO ruthlessly prosecuted
| the Professionals of France-the very head
/ rolled aside, unheeded, when in 1898 the
| the Jacobins desecrated the aristocratic
tombs OF the church of the Sarbonne But
the quick eye of tradesman, who was
upon the outskirts of the crowd, at last
spied it out in the corner into which it had
rolled. He took it up, and by certain
signs recognizing it-which was not diff
cult in view of the palming process to
which it had been subjected-he split it in
two parts, the face being all thxt he cared
for, and kept it as curiosity for many
years, when he either sold or presented it
to Armez. And 224 years after Richelieu's
death, the face was found to be something

of the nose had been slightly fattened by
pressure, and the half-open mouth showed
two rows of well-preserved and white teeth.
The moustache and imperial were scanty !;
but the historic profile was in almost per-
feet preservation. The Emperor had this
remarkable head, or rather this remarka-
! bic half head, sent to keep company with
the trunk, to which it rightfully belonged,
and the remains were re-interred with
great srlendor-
Fruit as Medicine.
The worst case of dyspepsia can be-
cured without the least particle Of medi-
cine. simply by eating nothing in which
lard is an ingredient, using butter sparing-
IL, eating bread made of unbolted flour,
and making free use of fruits, especially
apples. In fact, most people would be

than once or twice week, and used fruit
and vegetables instead. Pork and lard are
great promoters of dyspepsia, and fevers
and bilious diseases are fed by keeping
up bodily heat of mid-winter through
June and July, August and September,
but never changing our diet from
the heavy meats of January.
An eminent French physician says
that the decrease of dyspepsia and bilious
affections in Paris is owing to the increased
consumption of apples; fruit, he main
tains, which is an admirable preventive
and tonic, as we'll as a very nourishing and
easily digested article of food. The Paris
ians devour one hundred millions of them
every winter, and we do not doubt that
these statements are perfectly correct. La
fact, instances have come under our obser-
vation where fresh fruit had an immediate
effect in checking bilious tendencies in in
dividuals, and we have heard of whole dis
tricts where bilious diseases become preva-
lent upon sthe failure of the fruit crop.
Fruit growers may therefore, count upon
constantly increasing demand for the
products of their orchards and gardens as
the health giving properties OF fruit be-
come known.

society of young ladies is being formed
somewhere for the purpose of inducing or
enabling young men to marry. This wor-

as follows:
1t is said that the young ladies of one of
our suburban towns are about forming q
society to encourage young men to marry.
We doubt the truth of the report, but ques-

proposed still more. A society to encour-
age young men to fit themselves Tor mar
riage is much more needed, and would do
much more good than anything that should
merely increase the number OF weddings;
for q very large proportion of our young
men are unfit for marriage. They are
utterly deficient in the tastes, senti-
ments affections and aims which qualify
men for husbands and fathers and heads
of households. They have the least home
feeling; they have habits, appetites, asso
ciates, ambitions and dispositions which
disqualify them for relation SO intimate
and sacred as that of husband. They must
be born again, completely converted in
! life, as we'll as in mind, before they can be
suitable lite-companions of pure-minded,
trustful, refined young women. We have
nothing but pity for the young woman who
is tied for life to a bi-pedal porcupine,
or yoked to a social hippogriff Bet
ter be unmarried than have a life of
mismated misery. Probably quite as
many young men marry as are fit for
marriage, and some of those who get
married are as unfit for welded life as

THIS STORY of spanky widow comes
from local journal:
Mrs. Arnold is o widow in Malone, NY,
who tills her farm with her own hands,
whose barn was accidentally burned, and
vino proposed to have new one built. In
consequence of the advice of friend, she
varied from the usual custom. She sup.
piled coffee, tea, and good eatables to the
laborers who were to raise the frame-but
no whisky-the consequence of which was
that the men refused to 60 on with the
''raising." The circumstance was men
toned in three of the local churches or
Sunday. Fifty men, women and children
visited the widow on Monday; ministers
and farmers became carpenters for the oc
casion. Within few hours the barn was
complete, double-boarded all around, and
rooted in.
The New French coat Of arms has made
its appearance. 1t consists of the figure o.
Liberty, with the legend ''In the name OF the
French people," Ga the reverse is a garland
of mixed oak and olive, with a wheat ear IL
the center. There is also the inscription
"RepubHque Francaise Dem0cratique, Ufae e
