CELERY TOR l}HEUMATIsM In
celery there must be some special
virtue, if we only knew what ii is.
Nothing is made in vain. and the
powerful smell sand extraordinary
taste OF celery are limitations from
nature that it has some special mis-
sion. Mr.. Ward, Ct Perriston
Towers, Ross, writes that Rheuma
ti5m becomes impossible if celery Is
freely used as an article of diet
Unfortunately he says cooked eel
CRY and it is an article in its raw
state I'd which we are all accu5tom-
ed. "Not The celery" he SAYS,
"into inch dice. Boil in water M
Ill soft No water must be poured
sway unless drank by the invalid.
Then take new milk, slightly thick
On with tlour and flavor with mt
meg; warm with the celery in the
saucepan; serve with diamonds OF
toasted bread round dish and eat
with potatoes" "Prenit me to
say" he adds, that cold or damp
never produces rheumatism, bnt
simply deyeIopes it. Tho acid
blood is the primary Cause and the
sustaining power Of evil. While
the blood is alkaline there can be
10 rheumatism and equally no
govt" And Mr.. Ward proceeds
to say: LET ne teallessly say
Chat rheumatism is impossible or
such diet, and vet orr medical men
allowed ,neumatism 70 kill in 1876
$40 human heing5-every case as
unnecessary as d DIRTY face. Worse

dying from heart disease, at Least
two llird8 ottheso are due directly,
more or les, to rheumatism and

The Utes live principally on
hrpad and meat. When they can,
w., b.ead they live on meat, and
ebss they can't get any nest they

r,est quantity Of provisions On
R,ad, they eat it all up before get

when they have a small quantity
on hand. They are dirty. They
are even very dirty. Their meat
il generally PERMITTED to lie about
On the ground or any place. Zach
Indian family possesses any num-
Dor If dogs, from eight to fifteen,
and these animals help themselves
10 the meat. After they have sat
isfed themselves, and when the
Indians become hungry, they cut
from the same piece on which the
dogs feed. They generally boil
their meat, but sometimes they
broil II. They pat It in water and
let it remain only a few minutes,
Just long enough to heat, when
they take it out and begin to eat.
They use the same water for boil
inc over and over again. until the
water becomes a perfect slime of
filth. One pot generally docs
service for the enrirc family. This
particular pot is q frying pan.
When the Utes get ont Of bed they
wash their faces and battle the
baby in it, after which they bake
the bread and boil the meat. Then
they eat ont OF the vessel. and then
the dog ticks up the leavings. They
olothe themselves with skins of
animals or with blankets. They
generally take 4 blanket or a skin
and cut 4 hole in The middle Of it
and throw it over their heads, cut
ting armholes and fastening the
garment at the waist with q wide

With buckskin string. When the

They Met and Parted.

"Now THEM" says tramp No. / to
No. 2 as they turned into Montcalm
street from Woodward avenue the other
day, "here is the game, you walk down
the street and ring the bell of some
house, when the lady answers you tell
her that you haven't had anything to
eat for three days. If she says she don t
care tell her that you are desperate and
ready to commit any crime. If she
starts to slam the door on you hold it
open with your foot and roll your eyes
and look savage. I'll arrive just about
then, and I'll take you by the neck,
slam you around and pitch you out of
the yard. Pm the lady's protector and
the hero of the hour, you see. I'll be

her I'm stranger and need quarter

He passed down the street and select

carefully followed ont until he reached
the point where he said he was desper-

band shot out with his right hand and
knocked No. 2 clear off the lower step.
No. was just rushing in, and six-footer
thought he might as we'll kill two birds

And Memory back each Joy CONVEYS;
Again live In those happy days
When youthful love our hearts was swelling,
And you, my Prince, ne'er tired OF telling
The same old story, SO soft and low:
II love you, Chicky me, crany crow!'
Warmly you clasped my little brown hand!
How happy We rOamed the Summer.land,
Coming our lessons by wayside stream,
Dancing along where buttercups CLEAN,
Holding them up to our dimpled chin,
Striving ever the prizes to win.

A grandcr work for our hands to do.

A Middle Glass Needed in Russia.

The new semi-otticial Russian paper,
the Bereg, remarking on the want of a
middle class in Russia, observes that
the II, 900, 900 members of the different
dissenting sects would form excellent
material for the creation of such class.
The Russian dissidents, it says, have
had their energies stimulated and their
intellects sharpened by the incessant
obstacles with which they have had to
contend, and they are now to be found
in all departments of trade AS artisans,
farmers, stock brokers, merchants,
bankers, manufacturers and agents.
Their education, too, has been more
carefully attended to than that of most
other Russians: their family relations
are exemplary, although till recently
their marriages were not sanctioned by
law, and the necessity Of acting together
for mutual self-defense has developed
in considerable degree feeling of
esprit de corps among them. Finally,
the dissidents are, with few excep-
tions, to be reckoned among those citi-
IONS who from political point Of view
are most to be depended upon.

How q Town Got a Queer Name.

WHAT'S in name? A good deal. We
are told, and how came Tombstone,
Arizona, to have such name? 1t was
not borrowed or stolen from any other
place on the globe, nor ever suggested
by novel or gazetteer. The story goes,
and it is true, that two young men,
brothers, when about to start from Tue
son on prospecting tour into the Ora
COON Mountains, Sonora, or somewhere
else, were advised to give up the UNI
dertaking, for if they persisted, they
would find neither mine nor fortunes,
but their " tombstones'' instead. The
boys bravcly babe good-by to their
friends, though emphatically warned
