One of the best famiIy-suppIy estab-
lishments in the city is that of }. |.
Bolton, Austin avenue, near Sixth

Electric Consumption Cure

Has undoubtedly the best reputation
of any medicine for the cure of con-
sumption that we have yet been able
to find. 1t is prepared expressly for
consumptives ard those who are
affected with a deep-seated cough OF
long standing. A few doses give
immediate relief, and if kept up will
effect cure. 1t is very soothing to
the lungs, and pleasant to take. One
good nights sleep, free from those
dreadful paroxysms of coughing, is
worth more than the price of hal;
dozen bottles. Ask your druggist
for bottle at once; price 80 cents
and 81 per bottle. Prepared only by
Tucker & Willis, Waco, Texas.

The Cocktail.

In vocabulary of drinking terms, the Retailer remarks regarding the "cock- tail . ''A word of very uncertain ori- gin. CoDjectural etymologists have traced it to the Mueso-Gothic, the Chi nese, the Cherokee, and the Gumbo; one has settled it to his own satisfaction that 1t is of Sandwich island origin; an- other that it is Celtic and still another that Noah left the recipe to his son Sh m, giving the beverage the name Ko'kdal, written in the old Hebrew char acter with the Massoretic points. The probability is that the name and the beverage were invented by the mound builders, and the most prominent phil oloeists are inclining more and more to that opinion. !" The RetaiIer also gives the following information "The cocktail is made of brandy, gin, whisky, or champeagn, mixed with bitters, sugar, and a small-very small-per- centage of water. It is an early-morn- ing drink, and is highly esteemed for its medicinal properties. A large propor- ton of those who use it habituallv will never eat solid food until the flooring of the stomach has been overlaid with cock tails. There IS no time in mans life when he is more deserving of heartfelt sympathy than when, in condition Of pecuniary collapse, he craves a morning cocktail and craves in vain"

Apples as Food.

An exchange states the benefits of apples to be as follows: "A raw, mel low apple is digested in an hour and a half, while boiled cabbage requires five hours. The most healthy dessert that can be placed on table is baked apple. If eaten frequently at breakfast with coarse bread and butter, without meat or flesh of any kind, it has an ad- nirable effect upon the general system, often removing constipation, correcting acidities and cooling off ffebrile conditions more effectually than the most approved medicines. If families could be induced to substitute them for pies, cakes and sweetmeats, with which their children are frequently stuffed, there would be diminution in the total sum of doctors bills in single year sufficient to lay in stock of this delicious fruit for the whole seasons use"

Broom Corn.

Broom corn was introduced into this
 country by nr. Franklin. He saw seed on a broom, planted 1t, and the seeds from this single plant were the beginning of broom corn as an American agricultural product. The credit of the hroom-m making industry IS due to the Shakers, who, raising the plants in their gardens, manufactured the brooms aud sold them for 50 cents, or more, apiece.
 immediately after the war, so great was tie profit from its cultivation, that 1t was soon overdone, and the many who had rushed into the business were soon .'iscunraged and abandoned it. Now 1t
 : cultivated in all parts of the country.
