EXPENSIVE DRUGS.

There are two mad men in Milwaukee.
One is bald-headed man and the other
is druggist. The bald man told
doctor that his hair was falling out. and
asked him if he didn't know of some
thing that would stop it. The doctor
said he would fix him, so he wrote a
prescription, which was as follows:
Chloride of sodium, OF. aqua pura,
s OF. Shake we'll and rub on the scalp
every morning"
The bald-headed man went to drug
store and had the prescription put up.
paying dollar and seventeen cents for
it. He asked the druggist if that was
not little high, but felt ashamed when
the druggist asked him If he knew how
much aqua pula cost gallon. He said
he didn't, but supposed it came hi gh.
The druggist told him that aqua pura
was one of the most penetrating drugs
in the store, and as for chloride of sodi-
um. there was nothing like 1t, and the
war in Peru had sent it up kiting. He
said if the trouble in Chilli kept on.
there was no knowing how high it would
be. The bald man used the medicine,
and felt as though it was doing him
good. His wife noticed little new hairs
coming out, and he felt good, SO when
the stuff was gone he took the bottle to
the store and had it filled again. The
chap who filled it this time was another
| chap, and when the man threw down a
dollar, the drugger said: "Oh, never
mind. We won't charge you anything
for that" The bald man asked how
that was, and the drugger said: why.
it's only salt and water, anyway. The
salt is only two cents pound. and the
water is pretty cheap this year." The
bald man gave one gasp. and said. "Well
by the bald-headed Elijah, l gave dol
lar and seventeen cents for filling that
bottle before, and l want my money
back. It's bald-headed swindle.
thought that Peruvian story didn't look
plausible" The druggist gave the man
a box of cigars to keep still about it.
but he won't speak to the other drugger
who charged him dollar.-MiLscaukee

The freaks of the recent Minnesota
cyclone were numerous and remarkable.
At New Ulm horse was lifted alive
into tree top; cattle were blown into
the river; heavy iron bars. stones and
agricultural implements were carried
over high bluffs, and boards and timbers
were hurled through buildings and into
the ground like spears. A pump stand
ing in a we'll thirty feet deep at Apple
ton was jerked out and carried away
bodily, and the nine feet of water in the
we'll was scooped out clean. A plow
and pieces of a wagon were carried a
mile. A large oak to which COW was
tied was torn up by the roots. and the
COW completely buried in the pit. This
town was destroyed by Sioux Indians in
1862. Fate seems to have deep grudge
against the place.

1t should, however, be stated that the

How girls deform themselves. They
squeeze their waists, pinch their toes,
crush their poor feet. paint their faces.
pad their hair and forms, and appear
as much afraid of getting sunburnt as
if it meant the ruin of their hopes
now and forever more. But if they
only studied the works of Praxitcles,
or if they looked upon the graceful
outlines of a "Greek slave" they
would find that wasp waists and pinched
up toes were not considered the ideal
form of beauty of the great masters of
sculpture. Better for girls to have of
waists-an armful-and of feet-what
nature intended-and for paint, let the
sun be substitute, or in the absence of
that, the open air and exercise. 1t is
the best way in the end,

A SUNFLOWER.

Earth hides her secrets deep
Down where the small seed lies,
Hid from the air and skies
Where first it sank to sleep,
To grow, to blossom, and to die
All. who shall know her hidden alchemy?
Quick stirs the inner strife,
Strong grow the powers Of life,
Forth from earth's mother breast
From her dark homes of rest,
Forth as an essence rare
Eager to meet the air
Growth's very being, seen
Here, in this tenderest green.
Drawn by the light above,
Upward the light must move;
Touched by the outward life
Rindles anew the strife.
Light seeks the dark's domain,
Draws thence with quickenlng pain
New store of substance rare,
Back through each tingling vein
Thrusts the new life again
Beauty unfolds in air.
So grows earth's changeling child,
By light and air beguiled
Out of her dreamless rest
Safe in the mother breast.
Impulses come to her,
New hopes without a name
Touch every leaf and stir
Colorless sap to flame;
Quick through her pulses run
Loves hidden mystic powers,
She wakes in golden flowers
Trembling to meet the sun.
What means this being new.
Sweet pain she never knew
Down in the quiet earth
Ere hope had come to birth?
Golden he shines above,
Love wakes, and born of love
All her sweet flowers unfold
In rays of burning gold.
Life then means nought but this
Trembling to wait his kiss,
Wake to emotion?
There where he glows she turns
All her gold flowers and burns
With her devotion.
All, but when day is done?
When he is gone, her sun,
King of her world and loverl
Low droops the faithful head
Where the brown earth is spread
Waiting once more to cover
Dead hopes and blossoms over.
EarthbOrn to earth must pass
Spirits of leaf and grass
Touched by the sun and air
Break into colors rare,
Blossom in love and flowers.
Theirs are the golden fruits
Earth clings around the roots,
She whispers through the hours,
Il will enfold again
Life's being; love and pam.
Back to the mother breast
Fall as the falling dew.
Once more to pass anew
Into the dreamless rest"

Citizens Meeting.

A citizens meeting is called to be held at
the courthouse, this evening, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the subject
of water works for the city The action of
the board of aldermen in calling for such a
meeting meets with our cordial indorse-
ment. 1t is an important question. We all
want water works, and it is we'll to start
ri 5ht. But we presume that it is not
expected that definite action will
be taken at this meeting. About
the only thing that is practicable
at this meeting, is the appointment of a
committee of practical business men and
mechanics to take the question under con-
slderation and report at future meeting to
be held at an early day. - y hen let the vari-
Gus propositions be submitted to this COM
mittee, to be passed and reported upon. We
have had one blunder in the water works
business only short time ago, and we want
to avoid another.

Extraordinary Effect Of The Loss
of a Tooth.

CHICAGO, June 18.-A Battle Greek,
Mich, special reports that Mrs. Nell
lie Ingram has been unable to eat
since October last. She is 36 years
old, twice married, and has been pos
sessed of an unusually robust con-
stitutien. October 11th, 1880. she
weighed nearly $50 pounds, but hav
ing suffered from an aching double
tooth, she got it extracted that day,
and during the operation became
very nervous and excited, and was
taken home in a state of prostration.
From that time on, she has loathed
food, and it was torment to her to
attempt to eat. She has taken nour-
ishment several times, but always
with the result of intense pain and
deathly sickness, followed by spasms.
Her life has been sustained by in-
jections and baths in nourishing
liquids. She now weighs less than
80 pounds. She has of late lost her
voice. Medical men are greatly in
terested in the case.

A BLACK DODGE.
One OF the Perils Of Carrying
Concealed Weapons.
Letter in Elberton (Ga. News

A little episode happened in Chat~
tanooga [ can never forget. Having
to lay over there for six hours, [
went to the hotel, engaged a room
and took a nap. With the usual
precaution of persons travelling in a
strange place, L brought from home
in my valise medium sized Smith
& Weston pistol. When I went to
bed I took it flom my valise and
placed it, with my watch and some
money, under the pillow of my
bed. I went te sleep soundly, and
and only q few minutes before my
train was to leave bid the waiter to
awake me. l hardly had time to get
ready. My valise was locked, and
not thinking that [ had time to put
my pistol back in the valise, I hur~
riedly put it in my pocket, When [
stopped at the hotel office to settle
my bill, in taking out my purse [
threw the tail of my coat up SO that
to person looking the concealed
weapon was plainly y visible. At this
hotel was man who came up from
Atlanta and seemed very much in>
clined to be friendly, as we were on
the train together. Unfortunately
he was looking at me when the
pistol was exposed. The contempti~
bic tramp stepped up and said:
"Sir, do you know it is against the
law to carry a concealed weapon ?
I shall have to take charge of you.
I was astonished. Recovering my
self~possession, and having neither
the time nor inclination to be stopped
over indefinitely on a matter like
this, I told him to step back in my
room and [ would convince him that
what he had seen was not wrong.
was confident he wanted money, and
I resolved to give HIM a few dollars
to keep hush. He stepped back with
me, and just as we got inside the
room I heard the bell of the engine
ringing on which I was to travel. I
quickly offered him S.. He wanted
$25. Putting my hand in my pocket
as if to get the money, I drew the
pistol, and covering him with it,
told him that if he moved an inch
or uttered a cry ( would shoot
him 6ead on the spot. Backing to
the door I hastily locked him in the
room, pressed to the Office, threw the
key on the counter, told the clerk
there was a crazy man in my room,
and not to venture there until he
had couple of policemen-knowing
This would delay matters until [
could get away.
[ caught the train just as the last
coach was passing the last switch,
and don't know till now what has
become of my" insane friend. But
one thing is certain, that hereafter [
will always put my pistol in my
valise, no matter how little time [
have. I was put to the last scratch
to get out of this scrape, and it
scared me badly.
