SIMPLE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.

Milk and lime water are now frequently
prescribed by physicians 10 cases OF dys-
pepsia and weakness of the stomach, and
in some cases are said to prove benefi-
cial. Many persons who think good bread
and milk great luxury frequently hesl-
tate to eat it, for the reason that the milk
will not digest readily; sourness OF the
stomach will often follow. But experience
proves that limewater and milk are not
only food and medicine at an early period
of life, but also at a later, when, as in the
case of infants, the functions OF digestion
and assimilation have been seriously inn
paired. A stomach taxed by gluttony,
irritated by improper food, inllamed by al
cohol, enfeebled by disease, or otherwise
untitled for its duties-as is shown by the
various symptoms attendant upon indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysentery and
fever-will resume its work, and do it en-
ergetically, on an exclusive diet of bread
and milk and limewater. A goblet OF
cows milk may have four tablespoonful
of limewater added to it with good effect.
The way to make limewater is simply to
procure few Jumps of unslaked lime,
put the lime in stone jar, add water I'M
til the lime is slaked and about the consls-
tency of thin cream; the lime settles,
leaving the pure and clear limewater at
the top. Great care should be taken not
to get the limewater too strong. Keep to
the directions as to the consistency, and
when the water rises, pour it off without
obtaining any of the lime. The limewater
is also very good to apply to burns and
scalds. In shaking the lime, particular
care should be taken that none of the par
ticles fly into the ewes.

use of kerosene containing large proper

1t seems after all that Secretary Thomp-

1t transpires that the appointment was not
recommended or even suggested by him,
but that the President made the selection
from his own knowledge of its fitness. He
was even at some pains to let Mr.. Thomp-
son knew this in the presence of the auto
cratic Senator from Indiana and the Secre.
tary has just shown his independence by re.
fusing to appoint Morton's son to the com.

not for the purpose of defying the Senator
but because the young man was not wei

A CHICAGO MURDERS. S. Jones, ed

was shot last week in his office in Chicago,
by VIM. G. Pike, II phrenologist who
accused him of the seduction of his wife.
All the parties were spiritualists. While
Pike claims his wife confessed to him, and
that this was what made him commit the
murder, some Of Jones friends claim that
the deed was done because the murderer
owed his victim small amount of money.
Pike AT once went TO the police, told what
he had done, and gave himself IN for
trial.
The victim of the tragedy was popular
exponent of SpiriLualism, but the opposite
of the angular, long haired and pinch-faced
man who killed him. He espoused the causc
of Spiritualism from IL belief that it was n
