A SETTLED QUEsTIoE.-Some years
ago, as Mississippi river steamboat
came up to river landing, tall, un-
calmly, gawkish-looking fellow, leaning
against wood pile, attracted the atten-
tion of the passengers, one of whom,
talkatIye and conspicuous person, said
to his friends: "I'm going TO have
some fun out Of that fellow" So he
jumped ashore when the boat landed,
and with great show of fierceness ap-
preached the fellow. Drawing a saw
age-looking bowie-knife, be said: $50,

from 6ato 75 per cent. The methods
and The theory Of the cure are IN some
respects quite new. they are published
LAS is The noble custom of the medi-

patients had vainly tsied residence at

deeply diseased. They were steadily
growing worse, and seem 10 have been
advised that their malady had become
serious. Under the new treatmenss
four of these patients recovered, and
are again actively engaged IN their bus

to vary from six months to q year, but

process Of healing the tubercles, so that

that part Of the treatment was iully suc"
cessiul in each Of the six instances dee
scribed. TO promote the calciiying OF
the tubercles, the salts of lime, which
are found in most vegetable and animal
food, must be supplied in a soluble con.
dition; the theory Is that too much heat
in ordinary cooking destroys the natural
combination oil these salts with albu-
men, and renders them insoMble TO

exercise, this is regarded as so ImpoT-
tant that the patients must go out IA

the orator remarking that that was about

"I wish you would get out the ne

bring suit for me against the Yellow Tt

so long to wait for the money"
CRlius saw the orators head was
level, and brought suit that afternoon.
Eleven years afierward the villa Tus-
culum and the town house were both
DESTROYED by fire. The suit had by that
time been in FIVE different courts, and
had been confirmed and reversed, and
remanded, and referred 10 the master
10 take proof, and stricken from the
docket, and amended, and rebutte6, and
sur-butted, and implicated, and reioins

a decree simply on ground OF Ineom-
patabIlity OF temperament. And when
ne went to the secretary Of the ccmPa-
ny, that official told him the company
didn't know anything about the FIRE,
and had no time 10 attend 10 such thing.
The company's business, the secretary
said, was TO insure houses, not 10 run
around to fires, asking about fhe iHsHr-
ance. If he wanted any information on
these points he would have TO ask the
fremen or the newspaper reporters.

histories the more be is convinced that

the prRtors was a great deal more like
it is to-day.-BurEagtOn Halekeye.

An OLD MANS MELANcHoLY.-We

His sadness was such that his hearers
were sad, too, and one young person

"No. my young friend" replied the
old man, at wasn't that. climed that
footboard slowly, painfully, and with
the utmost caution and secrecy. You

ears in fear of some sound that is new

to slip upon JET and carry him by storm
bu. was unable 10 DO so till he had chased
the Young "moke" sll through the Capt.
tol building up into the dark rooms over

himself away In safety. But beng de-
termined to get him, the officer procured
a csnd e. aid begun, like n certsin philo-
sopher, 10 search Tor sn honest man IN
open day light. JET saw the light and
believing himself not an honest msn, be
gan to skip over the joi:ts in order to set
sway. In jumping from jo!st to joist, he
missed his foot and one leg went through
the ceiling when he was captured and
taken to the lookup. He was not at that
place long, before Officer Graham appear
ed and took him 10 the work-hOuSe where
he now sports ball and chain.
