THE HOTTEST SPOT ON EARTH.

One of the hottest regions on the earth
is along the Persian Gulf, where little or
no rain falls. At Bahrin the arid shore
has no fresh water, yet comparatively
numerous population Contrive to live
there, thanks to the copious springs
which burst forth from the bottom of the
sea. The fresh water is got by diving.
The diver, sitting on his boat, winds u
great goat-skin bag around his left arm,
the hand grasping its mouth then he
takes in his right hand heavy stone, to
which is attached a strong line, and thus
equipped he plunges in and quickly
reaches the bottom. Instantly opening
the bag over the strong jet of fresh wa.
ter, he springs up the ascending current,
at the same time closing the bag, and Is
helped aboard. The stone is then hauled
up, and the diver, after taking breath,
plunges in again. The source of these
copious submarine springs is thought to
be in the green hills OF 0sman, some
FIVE or six hundred miles distant.

Beware of Chcap Excitants,

Alternative, Hostetters Stomach Bitters. The
liquors of commerce, even when they are
not adulterated, fail to produce more than
a temporary exhilaration, usually followed
by depressing reaction, anything but BEN
efcal to weekly constitution. Not only
do the potent botanic ingredients combined
with the alcoholic of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters minister to the health and vigor of
those who use it, but the basis-pure old
rye, the finest and most salubrious liquor
distilled, is no mean promoter of health
full condition of the digestive organs. Its
presence in the Bitters is essential to pre-
serve their vegetable constituents from fer
mentation, and ii unquestionably augments
their remedial value. Few medicinal prep
arations of a proprietary nature have ever
received such strong concentrations from
medical men.

Why are fat people always complaining? asks
some one who entertains the popular though erro-
neous notion that health is synonymous with lat.
Fat people complain because they are diseased
Obesity is an abnormal condition of the system, in
which the saccharine and oeaginous elements of
the muscle-forming and brain producing ele-
ments In proof OF this, it IS only necessary to
assert the wellknown fact that ex lusively fat
people are never strong, and seldom distinguished
for mental powers or activity. Besides, they are
the easy prey of acute and epidemic diseases and
they are the frequent victims of gout heart disease
and apoplcxy. AIlan's Ant-Fat is the only known
remedy for this disease 1t contains acid is alb
somtely harmless, and is warranted to remedy the
most confirmed case of obesity or corpulency.

SMART THIEF.-A foreign looking spec
linen of mankind walked into residence
on Mob Hill, Sunday evening last, and
asked to see the lady of the house. She ap-
peared in the parlor, and the man drew
from his pocket couple of glass gars, one
ntaining centipede and the other ta-
rantula, at the same time letting them loose
on the floor, remarking that he would
make them fight for the benefit of the nat
ural history lovers of the family. 1t is nee
essary to say that the foreigner was left
alone Immediately, and when the room
was looked into again the man and his
managerie were gone, as was also the jew
elry of the household. Eureka, Neb., Sen

Just as quick as Mr.. Jones painted his
barbed wire fence blue, farmer Smiths wife
said she wasn't going to be outdone, and
the fence around the Smith farm soon bios
somed out red pinked with white. Mrs.
Jones wasn't going to have any of the Smi h
family putting on airs over her, and their
blue fence was soon trimmed with gold leaf
stripes. Smith trumped over by putting a
gilt ball on every barb, and Jones, when
last heard from, was planting weather-vanes,
gilt horses, peacocks and lightning-rod tips
all over his fence and swearing he'd beat
the Smith family if he had to put up a
cupola and bay window at every post and
hang chrome every two feet along the line.
