a peculiar process has been invented
in Germany by which labels are printed
on bottles by a simple operation, neither
paper nor mucilOge being required
The process is an actual printing on the
bottles themselves, aud tho labels can
be scraped off with a knife, though they
are not affected by water. The process
is said to be inexpensive, and certainly
must be convenient.

survival Of A Primitive Custom

A curious survival Of an old-time in
stitution exists in some remote places in
England, viz, the official ale faster. The
ale faster takes a oath to try, taste and
assize the beer and ale put on sale in
his district whether the same be whole
some for mans body The old ale mas
ter's method Of analysing beer for the
purpose of detecting the addition of
sugar to the liquor was rather primitive.
Like most menlin those times, he wore
leather breeches, and when he went to
test the alo for the presence Of sugar a
pint Of fluid was split on a we'll cleaned
bench, and the faster sat upon it till it
dried. II, on rising, the seat of the
breeches stuck to the bench, then sugar
was present, but if not the beer was
pure.

Los Angeles Street Extension.

Council held special session
yesterday afternoon to hear the ar
guments of counsel for and against
the extension of Los Angeles street
according to the awards made by the
Board of Commissioners appointed
to assess damages.
Those in favor of opening the
street under the law passed at the
last session of tho Legislature were
represented by Messrs. Frank How
ard and Geo. II. Smith, the pro-
testants by Messrs. S. M. White
and e. nj. Ross.
Mr.. Howard presented petition
from Pho Pico, II. Newmark, A. Il.
Coronel and the principal property
owners affected by the present as.
sessment, all of whom favor the
prosecution of the work under the
law passed by the Legislature.
Mr.. White, on behalf of his eli.
ents, represented that the award of
the Commissioners as flied amount
ed, in effect, to confiscatiou of their
property.
Major Ross stated that, while his
clients did not oppose the opening
of the street, they held that the
award of the Commissioners was
excessive, amounting to nearly
double the present value of the
property, and that, in addition, the
law under which the assessment
is made is unconstitutional and,
therefore, void,
Mr.. Smith closed sor those in "a
vor of opening the street, who, he
claimed, represented fully 5-6ths OF
the property affected. He also
maintained the oonstitutionality OF
the act under which the proposed
improvement is authorized, and
that Council has no option in the
matter but TO carry out its pro-
visions.
At the close of the argument,
Mr.. Buchanan moved that this
question be asked of the City At
torney: "Would proceedings un.
der the special act be imperative
and ineffectual?" Adopted, ant
the Council adjourNed.

A Source OF Much Bodily Evil.

If the habit of body becomes irregular,
much evil is inflicted on tho system.
The stomach becomes dyspeptic, bilious
symptoms develon themselves, the cir
culation is contaminated and the nerves
share in the general disorder. 1t is of the
utmost Importance that the bowels
should be thoroughly and speedily regu-
lated when they grow derelict. the cor
rective agent best adapted to this pur-
pose is Hostetter's stomach Bitters, n
wholesome, non-griping vegetable laXa-
tive, worth oil the rasping cathartlcs 1n-
vented since the time of Paracelsus.
People who have been in the habit of
using blue pill, calomel and other drugs
and cheap nostrums for constipation,
should abandon such hurtful and useless
medicines and substitute for them this
pleasant and gentle aperient, which not
only produces the purgative effect natu-
rally, but also strengthens while 1t regu-
lates the bowels, stomach and liver. 1t
moreover cures and prevents lntermit-
tent and remittent fevers, gout, rheuma-
tism, debility and urinary troubles.

The question of water along the
Southern Pacific Railroad has be-
come one of great Importance.
Water has been found by sinking
and boring wells, but it is not
suited for railroad uses. The water
of the Gila river can be readily
forced up by the steam pumps to
the line of the road which is, in
many places, not more than two or
three miles distant; but that water
is not altogether desirable for use

The wedding of Amund J. Slow
stead aud Louise Schurie drew an
assembly that filled Chicago
church. The ceremony was
smoothly performed, and the mar
ried pair passed down the aisle on
their way out. AT the door the
bride said that she intended to go
home with her mother, instead of
starting on the honeymoon tour
that had been planned. Nobody
could dissuade her, and size parted
from her husband then ana there.
After waiting month for her to
change her mind or make an eX-
PLANTATION, Slowstead now sues for
a divorce. A trifie less hurried
was the parting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Manning, who stayed In a Worces-
ter hotel on their wedding night.
In the morning the husband said he
was going out for an hour, and that
was the last seen of him by the
bride, who waited until afternoon,
and then sent for her brother to
come and take her home. Still an
other curious separation was that

On Sunday the Sun published an
extract from the PuIi Mall Gazette
giving an account of thirty young
women who were said to be poss-
essed by devils in village in Italy
and who "crowed like cocks,
mewed like cats, and barked and
howled like dogs and wolves"
The latest procurable copy of the
Giornale di Udine says that the
Prefect of that province sent q spe-
cial delegate to the villages where
the afflicted women are, to gather
all the particulars of the phenome-
non. The delegates Investigations
reduce the number of the "poss-
essed" TO twenty, twelve in the
village of Chraisis and eight at
Verzegnis. The greater part of the
stricken people vary in ages from
Is to 25; two only are over As, and
one is hardly II. At the Villa of
Verzegnis there is also a man af-
fected by this horrible mania. In
the daytime the victims enjoy
peaceful intervals, during which
their actions are regular and be-
coming. Toward sundown they
begin to perform the most extrav.
agant antics, in the course of
which they speak incoherently and
indecently, accompanying the
words with yells and immodest
gestures, which is all the more re-
markable in persons who had
hitherto led Innocent lives. Ac.
cording to the Prefect's delegate,
who is also physician, the afflic-
ton is an extremely mysterious
one and he cannot attribute it to a
simple hysterical phenomenon,
proceeding from the use of improp-
er food, or any other natural cause.

The Man who had Dyspepsia.

From the Adrian tMich.) Times.
There came to the dinner table at
the Lawrence House, the other day,
two strangers, one lean and hun
gry-looking customer, the other a
decent appearing young fellow.
AS they reached the table the older
man clutched frantically at the
bill of fare, and remarked as fol-
lows:
"Leps see what they've got. You
know L can't eat anything. Been
nearly dead ten weeks with the
dyspepsia. All! 'oyster soup
guess that won't hurt me-" To
waiter: bring me some oyster
soup; and, let's see, boiled white
fish; yes, I'll have some o. that.
The soup and fish were rapidly
eaten.
Snow, leps see what else they've
got; you know l can't eat every
thing. Roast turkey'-that ought
MOTTO hurt me. Pli have some o.
that. Roast beef,'-yes, I'll have
some O, that. Chicken pot-pie,'-
yes, that's easily digested, I'll have
some. Let's see. L can't eat every
thing. I'll take q bit of the boiled
ham, some macaroni, and-ah
some chicken-livers and vegeta.
bles.n
The waiter had been taking the
order, and the man with the weak
stomach reached this way for
rackers-that way for butter,
here took a piece of bread, there a
pickle and stalk of celery, and fre-
quently remarking that he
couldn't eat everything, stayed his
stomach until his dinner was
brought. He looked it over, sent
the waiter back for some roast
veal and another onion, remarkine
that his stomach was weak, he
had been suffering terribly from
dyspepsia, and couldn't eat every
thing, but at last got to work ano
cleared the dishes.
The matter of dessert troubled

him come because bis stomach was
so weak, but he finally ordered
mince pie, plum pudding and ices
cream, with cup Of coffee. They
were brought and deyoured, and
then he called the waiter and made
her a confidential communication
to the effect that he had been sick
with dyspepsia, that his stomach
was weak, he couldn't eat every
thing, and would she bring him
bowl of milk?
The milk was brought, he crum-
bled some bread therein, and as his
younger companion had departed,
the man with the weak
stomach remarked to the gen.
tleman across the table from
him that it was darned rough to
have to come down to bread and
milk, but he had been sick. lie
couldn't eat everything, and he had
to be careful.
And now the landlord is anxious
for that man to come around when
he is we'll. He needn't come but
once.
