the whole invention is simple, the ingre-
dents used are not only inoffensiVe but

The beneficial results of this discovery
are beyond the ordinary methods of meas

be felt aud enjoyed in every household il
the civilized world but the inhabitants OF
the Sou hern temperate and torrd zones
will reap the greatest benefits because of
the premature decay of all vegetable and
animal substances IN those high TEN pera-
lures. The millions of dollars heretofore
spent by the people of the South for the
edible productions of the frozen regions of
the North will now remain as the house

We cannot omit to notice the significant
tact that none but the ''all -seeing-eye" of
the Lone Star State had a lens of sufli-
cient optical power to penetrate this hith-
ertp sacred mystery, an evident dlspen-
sation OF Divine Providence to the States
of the South SO recently blasted with war,
peSUilence and famine.

Mississippi for past favors and honors, |
