Xh0t Spring Brings With 1t.

Regarded from medical standpoint Spring is
not the deicctable season described by vernal
poets. On the contrary, its yield of intermittent
fevers, bilious attacks, rheumatic palms, disorders
of the stomach, nervous complaints. and pulmo-
nary diseases is almost large its crop of vIo-
let's snowdrops and cherry blossoms. The invls-
ibe seeds Of innumerable maladies rise with the
morning mists, and are scattered broadcast by the
vapors Of night. Who can resist their mephltc
influence? Certainly not the weak by nature or
those whose nervou. energies have been overtasked
by mental or physical labor, unless they tone and
inyigorate their systems. and thus enable them to
cope with the unhealthy influences by which they
surrounded.
The only medicinal agent by which this object
can be rapidly and safely accomplished is the great
vegetable renovant and invigorant, Hostetter s
Stomach Bitters. The operation of this cele-
brated specific is fourfod 1t strengthens the di-
yestive organs regulates the secretons, improves

Proper Method of Storing Potatoes.

According to the English Mechanic, po-
tatoes should always be stored in as dry
a state as possible, and should any disease
be discovered among them, small quanti-
ties only should be pitted together; GER
tainly not more than thirty bushels in
each pit. In the center of this pit should
be placed lump of lime about the size
of mans head, and before covering
them in they should receive good dust
ing of quicklime. The lime absOrbs the
moisture during the time the potatoes
sweat, and by so doing prevents the tub
ers from overheating, while its applica-
ton also greatly improves the quality of
the potatoes, no doubt absorbing much of
the water from the tubers, and conse-
quently making them more mealy than if
pitted without lime. After the potatoes
have been lying in the pit for at least a
month, they should be carefully looked
over and may be placed together in one
or more large pits, in the center of which
should be placed large basket of hard
Jumps of lime, or, should the pits be
formed of long trenches, it will be well
to place other baskets at about twelve
feet apart. The whole heap should also
be well sprinkled with lime before cover.
ing it. The pits should be made low and
narrow, as they are thus less liable to
heat than if made wide and high.

"Send Him up Another"

''kEEP your seat said l, as my friend
rose to go; Il cannot help repeating that
old boomerang joke attempted to be play
ed upon Cough by everybody's pet humor-
list, Mark Twain, and that Falstat,ian jok
list, the Fat Contributor Ii has been told
before, but l should like to repeat it,
stripping The story from the falsehoods
by which it was formerly embellshed.
One evening Twain and Girls found
themselves together at the Sherman
House, in Chicago, b. F. (before the
fire.
Drifting about in search of the pictur-
esque, they followed the human stream

they stranded on Il bar. Mr.. Cough was
staying at the house at the time, and be
ing unwell, had retired early. A bright idea
struck TwaIn's restless mind. Lets

Idea voted good and acted upon. Wait
err arrived at Mr.. Coughs room: "Some
mistake; never touch liquor" Waiter
positive; Mr.. Cough more.so.
On the way down it occurred to the
darkey that it was :. pity the cocktail
should be wasted, so he drank it, and re-
ported "all right at the bar Twain and
Girls, intensely delighted, thought they
had caught the lecturer mapping. Lets
send him up another" said Girls. Same

said:
Il am afraid you rest under misap-
prehension. Seeing that l was being
made the victim of some practical joke, /
] followed the waiter down, and saw him
drink the liquor that l suppose you
thought had used. You will please re-
frain from sending any more up, as l
have not felt the need of such drinks for
| years"
When the subject is brought up now to
Twain, he says the Fat Contributor ere

How it Feels to be Hanged.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Paris Gdu1ois
moved by private affection, says he once
tried to hang himself, but after remaining
suspended for some time he was fortu-
nately cut down before life became extinct,
and has committed to paper full relation
of his adventure. Having resolved to
put an end to a life which was no longer
endurable, he drove a nail into the wall
of his chamber, attached a Topped cord
thereto, stood upon a chair and placed
his head in the loop. All this critical
moment he confesses that he had
some notion of taking his head out,
and getting off the chair But
''panaour prvpre gis-a-rss de luinaene " sus
tanned him, and he very slowly kicked
away the chair The imInediately-c
quent sensation was, he states, every
strange" From the soles of his feet to
the crown of his head sort of general
mixing up of the fluids of the body en-
sued. Suddenly there flashed before his
eyes sparkling, dancing light of a color
which he finds it difficult to describe, but
in which blue and sombre red predomi-
mated. Presently the flashing light con-
centrated at single focus, and thence
spread away into space in ripples such as
are made in a pond when a stone is cast
into it. AT the same time a fearful weight
pressed upon his head-a compression, as
if his temples were tightly bound in a
ring of iron. His hands and feet were
full of pins and needles. Needles with
out number seemed to pass out of the
ends of his fingers by a process of con-
tinual expulsion. Then came a terrible
swapping" at the nape of the neck
and along his spine there passed wrig-
Cling Gretillemeno which he lean com
pare only to a small serpent forcing a
passage along the vertebra." His last
sensation was one of acute pain at the
throat and shoulder-b blades, and finally
came to a state of perfect unconscious
ness, upon recovering from which he was
not unnaturally surprised to find himself
still in world which he had been at such
pains to quit.

The WeaZel.

l hav tried tew kill them in a stun wall
with rifle, but they would dodge the
ball, when it got within six inches ov
them, and stick their heads out ov anoth-

They are the hardest kritter amung the
small game tew ketch or tew kill, yu kant

ODE TO THE ELGIN WATCH

BY LADY.
o, have you heard the story
The Western papers tell,
How quickly Elgin Watches,
When made, began to sell
How every man who buys one,
Is fully satisfied,
Though every other kind of watch
Before them he has tried.
He always had been troubled,
Because he could not know
The time up to minute
Twas either fast or slow.
But when he bought an Elgin,"
He always was just right,
1t varied not a moment
For months, by day or night.
Now every good conductor
Upon a railroad train,
Thinks he can't do without one,
And business men the same.
A Culver" or :. Taylor
tThe Raymonds are the best,)
A Wheeler" 0 a ''Lafiin,'
just put them to the test.
A RyersoB,' or " Ferry"
They will be sure to please;
For dainty 50 Lady Elgin,'
Tue Western ladies tease.
The dealers through the country
Have all full supply,
You can but call and see them,
If you don't wish to buy.
Tell other manufacturers
Their banners must be furled,
The National - can beat them,
And E2gia watch the world. E.C.'

In England, all the telegraph lines
are now owned by the Government, and
short messages may be sent TO any part
of the kingdom for twenty-five cents
The Government issues what are called
postal telegraph cards, bearing a twenty
five cent postal stamp. On this card you
write your telegraph message, and drop it
in the lamp-post letter box. The letter
carrier delivers it to the telegraph de
partment, and the message is promptly
forwarded to its destination The En-
glish Government has been petitioned to
purchase all the submarine telegraph
cables leading from England.
