HSaccharine Futurity."

She was dainty blonde, and was
robed in spotless white, relieved only
by a cerulean blue knot at her throat
and double-barreled sunhower at her
belt, and as she tripped into Ellis's she
looked just too sweet to live. Harry
Ellis smoothed down hair No. 70 as he
came forward and asked: "What is it,
miss?" The voice was as musical as an
Eolian harp, and its dulcet tones vi.
brated upon his auditory nerve with
frightful rapidity. She turned her
heavenly blue eyes upon him and said:
Have you the song 'saccharine Flu
turity?'"
ii beg pardon" said Ellis. Il didn't
exactly catch the title.'
"'Saccharine Futurity," repeated the
beautiful vision. and as she uttered the
words her lips looked so tempting that
the young man Immediately turned
around and yanked down folio marked
S in great trepidation. He looked all
through the list, but failed to find the
song, and he ventured upon one more
question: ''1s it solo or song and
chorus?'

dame, who seemed little mixed by the
question. just then Frank Rockar
came in the back door and Ellis rushed
up to him with the interrogatory:
"What the dickens does she mean?
She wants song called 'Saccharine
Futurity.''
"What"' exclaimed Rockar, and
then. as he gazed at the aesthetic ap-

took it all in and said: $50 get her the

An Extraordinary skeleton.

An anatomical museum has opened
at Burlington House in connection with
the International Medical Congress now
being held in London, and amongst the
interesting objects on view there is an
extraordinary skeleton which has been
lent by the Sussex County Hospital. II
is that of q man born with both arms
broken, and who, all his life, was
afflicted with frame that must have
been almost as brittle as glass, though
seemingly with very little of the rigidity
and hardness of that material. His
baby arms were set, but he seemed al
ways to be breaking himself some
where. He lived tolerably long lie.
however, and at the time OF his mar.
riage, at about thirty years of age. he
had managed to attain some five feet
four inches in height. At forty. his
strength appeared to have left him. and
though he lived some twenty years
longer, the constant breaking and con-
torti0n of his bones had reduced him to
thirty-nine and one-h half inches, and the
unfortunate mans skeleton. as now
shown, looks to be about yard high.
His two children are said to have been
continually breaking their bones in . SIM
liar way.-Brighton (Emg..) Guardtns.

There are now in the United States
about fifty-six <cotton-seed mills, of
which nine are in Mississippi, eight each
IN Tennessee and Texas, nine in Ken

1t is probable that very soon the
southern part of the Territory of Utah
will supply enough of anthony for this
country and render unnecessary any
importations Of that substance. The!
ore mined about lao miles from Salt

per cent. of antimony.
At the gasworks of Jaypool, India,
illuminating gas is made chiefly from
castor oil--poppy, til or rape seed be-
ing used when the supply of castor
beans is short. One mound (eighty-two
pounds) of castor oil produces about 75O
cubic feet of 264 -candle gas, or 1000
cubic feet of 181-candle gas. -
There seems no longer to be any
doubt that there are Southern cotton
mills that can sell cloth below the East
ern mills and make better dividends.
MIR. Francis COgin, manager of the
Augusta {Ga.) Cotton Factory, says,
Southern mills can sell cloth one-half
cent less per yard than the New En-
gland mills and still make more money
than they do. MIR. Bussey, of the
Eagle and Phoenix Mills, of Columbia,

has one and nine tenths cents per pound

The public schools of Cincinnati
are to take new departure in respect
to grammar. They propose abolishing
it in the lower grades and substituting
elementary lessons in the use of En-
glish. That is, they are going to teach
children first to speak good English
rather than give them a set of rules for
speaking it, before they know what it
is.
The Hartford Courant says of the
Chinese students in this country that
when they have entered a school or

forthwith proceeded to step to the head

see how, in strange country, speak

many ways on so many occasions, to

Dyspepsia.

1t is doubtful whether there is any
country in the civilized world where
this disease is as prevalent as it is in
the United States. This affection, so
prevalent as almost, if not quite, to en-
title us to the reputation of being "a
Nation of dyspeptics," is the cause of
many serious results. Not only does it
yearly fill many a grave prematurely,
but while life lasts it is a burden to its
possessor, who, in consequence of being
afflicted with this dread complaint, is
incapable of appreciating or enjoying
the many beauties and blessings of life's
journey. As already intimated it is, if
not peculiar to, at least far more preva-
lent among, Americans than among the
denizens Of any other country. The
writer has been induced to investigate
the matter to considerable extent, and
the result confirms the opinion that
dyspepsia is peculiarly an American
disease.
It is q rare thing to see German or
an 1rishman afflicted with it, unless
they have contracted it since their emil
grafton to this country. The question
then arises. what cause produces it
here, more than in other parts of the
world? Is it our peculiar climate? No.
Is it to be attributed to the water that
is used as beveragep No. Is it from
any popularity of, or difference in, the
properties of the articles used for food
our beef. pork and other meats-our
cereals, vegetables, or fruitp No. Then
to what can it properly be attributedP
We answer, to our habits.
W. ,~, %on Fl ~ v,onp1o for mr. 0v,yv,
good; for our health and longevity.
We do everything, or almost every
thing we accomplish, in too much OF
hurry. We are born in hurry--we
live in q continual hurry-and, alas!
too many are buried in too much of
hurry. One great cause of dyspepsia,
among those who make use of animal
food as q part of their diet, is that the
meat is cooked too much, especially
when il is prepared by the process OF
frying. The tissues are hardened, thus
rendering the process of digestion
more difficult, and overtaxing the
powers of the stomach. Both Ameri-
cans and Englishmen are fond of beef
steak, and it is an article of food that is
grateful to the palate. and affords no
little gustatory pleasure while being
eaten, and likewise is of great value in
its nutritive and healthful properties,
when properly cooked. We fry ours to

The Man With the CrayOn.

Shortly after dinner yesterday q man
who was coming down Jefferson

arm was met by an acquaintance, who
said:

"Whats the matter?'' 'r"
''Matter! Why, it's the wcrst-look-
