DYSPEPSIA.

When the stomach is weak, its muscu-
lar action impaired, and its nerves over
sensitive, but little food should be taken
into it at time The best diet is skim
med milk, half pint every few hours.
When milk is not well digested, lime
water is combined with it. Such foods as
coffee, tea and tobacco must, of course, be
given up absolutely y and at once. A SOW
ereign article of diet is buttermlk. In
huttermilk the casein of milk is coagulated
and broken up, so that the stomach is
spared two steps of the regular process Of
digestion. Another excellent preparation
of milk is koumyss. 1t contains good
deal of carbonic acid In all cases the
stomache's work should be made easier by
diet consisting of eggs, milk, starchy
vegetables, stewed fruits, and little but.

WE FORBID THE BANS,

The annexation of Canada to the Uni
led States is one of those problems that
come up for discussion by both parties in
interest with good deal of regularity.
Though of late years the people of the
United States have abated little of the
zeal they manifested some dozen or
twenty years ago. And it is quite mani
fest that the reorganization and consoli-
dation of the various British colonies in
North America has very much lessened
the strength of the Canadian annexation
party. There are still, however, many
leading men north of the St. Lawrence
who see in annexation the only remedy
for the evils they suffer from their sys-
tenn of government as well as from the
mismanagement of public affairs by the
ruling powers.
Mr.. Scofeld, prominent citizen of
New Brunswick, is an earnest advocate
Of annexation, and gives some very pow
erful reasons for the measure from pure
" Canadian standpoint. These reasons
however would move the people on this
side of the line to different conclusion.
Be says that Canadian imports have ex-
ceeded the exports $220,0OO,ooo during
the past six years, and that the country
has nothing to show for it; that SAG, ,OOO,,
BOO indebtedness natures and must
be provided for within the
next six years; that the
country is indebted to British capitalist:
,ne hundred and forty million, and that
there is nothing to show for that but {

New York Times.

The conditions of what may be called
perfect mechanical work have been real
lied in the mammoth testing-m achine e.
rected at the Watertown Arsenal. Among
the astonishing experiments reported OF
this machine is one where forged link
of hard wrought-iron five inches in diam
eter was slowly strained and finally broken
at tension of 722,0oo pounds, while, TO
show that the weighing parts of the ma
chine were not disturbed by the recoil, a
horse hair was tested Immediately after
ward. 1t stretched 80 per cent, and broke
at one pound. Such machine is an
engine Of power and precision in which
lies the possibilities Of revolution in the
manufacture of iron and steel and bronze,
and in the proportioning and adaptation
of structures. Perhaps the only equa' to
this wonderful invention is Sir Joseph
Whitworth's mllionth measuring ma
chine. Now, it is absolutely impossible
for the naked eye to Judge the millionth
part of an inch, and such minute divisions
are wholly beyond the resolving power Of
the most elaborate Of modern microscop-
c appliances. Nor can the mind grasp a
quantity so minute. The thickness of a
page of ordinary French writing paper is
about equal to 1000 of these particles of
measurement or the two hundred and
fiftieth part OF an inch. But what the eye
cannot see the nerves can feel, and that
qnite readily. One can take a cylinder
and pass it through space left vacant in
one of these Whitworth machines. 1t
passes easily, but reduce the aperature by
the millionth of an inch and one feels
that it sticks slightly. If the space be re-
duced another millionth, the cylinder
sticks fast, thus proving perfect accuracy
of workmanship.

Standard Italian Queens.

There has been good deal written on

sions as to what constitutes the "standard
OF excellence" in Italian queens? If |

M. Quad, the humorist of the Detroit
"Free Press" has but one eccentricity or
"weakness," as il is called, and that is
peanuts, of which he is very fond. 1t is
doubtful if there has been moment, dur
ing the past ten years, when his coat-tail
pockets didn't contain peanuts. He nev-
er passes huckster's stand on the street
without pausing to reach around and see
if his stock of this peculiar vegetable
needs replenishing. If he meets child
crying on the street, he never inquiries the
cause, but stops, reaches into his coat-tal
pocket, loads the fearful youngster up
with a double handful of peanuts, and
hurries on his way Sighting a newsboy
or boolblack ahead, whose countenance
indicates cold weather or depressed bust
ness, he gets ready handful of peanuts,
calls "here, boy" and the transfer is made
without once breaking his pace. Lewis
claims that two cents worth of peanuts,
judiciously bestowed, will carry more sat
isfacton to the human heart-while the
action encourages it to brace up against
the world-than $500 gift to pay off a
church debt.--[Peck's Sun.

The Pride of Missouri.

[CassopJlis (Mn) Democrat
Sunday evening last Miss Florence
Graham, a young lady of this village,
about twenty years of age, was taking
IL horseback ride, and when about a mile
and half south of town, two young fet,
lows, William Miller and Ruple, drove
up, each in buggy, whooping and hal
looing like wild savages, soaring the
horse of the fair cquestrenne, and caus-
ing it to rear and plunge violently, In
the intervals of the rearing Of the horse
Miss Graham assured the yahoos that if
they would get out of their buggy she
would dismount and take pleasure in
"thrashng the ground with them" To
this they returned jeers and laughter and
drove on. Soon after she met Miller
again, near the residence of Simon Stct-
timer, south of town, who saw and relates
what followed. As she met the buggy
she hastily dismounted and unsnapped
the lines from the bride of her assailant's
horse, which thus freed from control ran
into fence corner, when young Miller
aIighted.
Mis-, Graham had followed closely, and
as he alj-h.ed received him warmly
cutting him to a peak with her left
hand. while holding her horse with her
right, administering at the same time
sound maxiM5 on etiquette and the pro-
per way for young gentlemen to behave
themselves in the company of ladies.
Miller had driving whip in his hand,
which the irate equestrenne wrenched
from him, and la,hng him with it, bade
him depart, which he speedily did, while
she, remounting, rode VIGOROUSLY into
town. The next morning Miller, Sr.,
came as an envoy to recover the whip,
which, on his application, was handed
over to him. A subscription was imme-
diately started and sum sufficient to
buy Miss Graham a dress was raised and
handed to her by admirers of her pluck
and self-reliance.

One week in wall Street.

October 7th, 1878, Western Union Tele-
graph stock sold at the New York Stock
Exchange for 96A per share; Oct Der 18th,
1878, it sold at S6A, fluctuation Of 98 per
cent in seven days. 1880 shares sold on
margin Of one per cent. required an actual
capital of $500. The same stock deliv-
cred at S6A gave profit of 9A per cent.
on the stock, or 1887 SO per 100 shares. On
the whole 125OO the actual profit was
$ll7 ,1S7 50, or 92s times the capital used in
one week. This is a single case taken from
the official record of the Stock Exchange,
and shows how money is made so rapidly
in stocks. Few people, however, have the
necessary cash to put up in order to realize
such immense profits as these, but capital
in any amount from $40 to $4,000 can be
used with equal success by the new combi-
nation system of operating in stocks which
Messrs. Lawrence d Co., Bankers, of New
York, have established. By this method of
orders in various sums and operating them
as one immense capital, shareholders real
ize large profits which are divided pro rata
monthly. New circular contains two un-
erring rules for success, and full informa-
ton, so that any one can operate protita-
bly,. Stocks and bonds wanted. Govern
ment bonds supplied. Apply to Lawrence

OF what value are historical facts if
some Massachusetts man is to be contin-
ually rising up behind his spectacies and
knocking the props from beneath them?
Cotton Mather's Magnolia Christi Amer
cana, first printed in 1902, relates how
the Indians, twelve years previous, fell
upon the little hamlet of Fox Point, N.
a., burned the houses and killed and
made captive the inhabitants. This mas
sacre has been handed down as history,
along with the other Indian massacres of
Barly times, which we have fondly cher
ished, and the spirit of every American
should rise in indignation against the sac
religious hand of the Massachusetts, man
who would shatter this massa-
ere. Hon. Chas. w. Tuttle
Is the presumptuous individual
who has prepared paper showing very
clearly, to Mr.. Tuttle, that no such trage-
ly as Mather describes ever occurred
here. Mr.. Tuttle may have formida-
bic array of arguments to Justify his
conclusions, but the people will not con-
ider them. They prefer to enjoy their
traditions, massacres and all, and will
take it for granted that Cotton Mather,
who lived at the time of which he wrote.
knew vastly more about ii than Mr., Tut
lie, of whose existence the world was in
ignorance for nearly two hundred years
ltter the affair about which he would
weave a veil Of doubt.
