The story that Miss Minnie Rail, q
charming Young lady Of Keokuk, Ia.
was Rugged to death by her lover in his
ecstacy at her having consented 70
marry him, is denied by the doctors, who
say she died of heart disease, which was
stimulated into fatal action by the in
tense happiness of the moment. The
doctors are probably right. but even
were it otherwise, there is no use in Cit
ing the case as warning to other girls.
Most of them are physically sound about
the heart, and will take the chances OF
being crushed by any man who ever
bore arms. Graphic.

These who raise annual Towering
plants from seed will do well to sow
some of the seed early, in order to have
early bloom. Plants of these kinds
should be grown in pots like other plants,
for convenience in transplanting. The
extra care and expense required to pro.
duce early ANNALS of the favOrite varie-
ties is well remunerated by the early
bloom. 1t is during the early part Of
summer that flowers are most needed !;
hence the earlier ANNALS can be made
to bloom the better, especially when
there is lack of early bulbs, roses,
shrubbery, etc. A good-sized bed of what
are usually termed greenhouse or bed
ding plants is always valuable addition
to a garden, for they make show Of
flowers and foliage earlier than plants
raised from seed. In the fall. also, af-
ter early frosts, there is scarcity of
flowers. Chrysanthemums and arti-
mesias are excellent for late blooming.
Almost every garden has some secluded
corner where the sun shines but part of
the day. This is just the place for PAN
sizes, and without few of these plants
the fiower-garden is incomplete. In
order to hasten early bloom the seed
must be sown early. When the seed
lings are of sufficient size they should be
transplanted into pots of small size,
from which they may be shifted to open
ground. Pansies will not do well If
planted in q very sunny situation, or in
too light soil. Watering every night
during hot weather will aid in keeping
up vigorous growth.

varieties of Gamma indica. are fine plants

The natural stomach of q full grown
persons does not hold q bushel, or a
gallon, and if it did the surface of the
stomach requires long time and hard
work to collect enough gastric juice
from the blood to digest even quart of
food. How about two quarts or more?
If you smile at this, just set q bowl by
the side of your plate, and put into it
that goes into the mouth. What is in
that bowl at the end of the repast is
what the stomach has got to work over
and perfectly dissolve or digest, or there
is to be trouble somewhere. A small
quantity of food well masticated and di-
gested will give more real nourishment,
and less trouble, than any large meal.
Broil meat or any kind of food long
enough, and it will change to charcoal.
After meat is heated through. every
further addition of heat advances its con-
dition toward the charcoal state. But
charcoal is entirely indigestible. Rare
cooked, fresh meats are far more easily
digested, and furnish much more real
nutriment than those "well done. -
Habit will make one enjoy the rare
cooked steak as more juicy and palata-
table. and it is certainly better as food.
Spices, condiments, ETC.. in small
quantity, when needed by the weak, in
firm, or aged. stimulate the flow of sa-
Iva, and Of the gastric juice, and these
may help digestion. But the young and
strong should reserve the use of these
until infrmity or age makes them par
tally necessary, and then they will be
all the more useful, because the system
has not become so habituated to them
that they will have little effect.-Anseri'

that Of several Palmetto hats, made
by Mrs. L. E. G. Bnnly, OF this city,

dextrous hand work as to make them
rival, if not excel in appearance the
most delicately machine made Leg

fully as handsome in appearance.
They are doubtless more substantial,
and would doubtless take preference
