LILIES AND SUNFLowERs.-Oa,
car Wllde's visit to tuis country h3l
had tie effect Of largely increasing the
demand for lilies and suuaowers.
The city dealers report that three ILL.,
lies and five sunAowera are sold thli
year where one Of each was purchased
last year. The lily certainly is one
of the most beautiful and fragrant o.
all the flowers in the garden, but go
far as looks go the sunhower is not
particularly nsthetic. There are ma
ny who believe that the sunaower is
a useful plant. There is mammoth
Russian variety, the seeds CT which
are an excellent food FOR poultry. H.
marshy soil the yield has b en AZ
high as eighty bushels 10 the ace.
Suaaowar seeds increase the Number
Of eggs which Tie hens lay, and the
oil they contain keeps the hens warm
in winter, while a diet of sunfower
seed adds to the brilliancy of the
plumage Of birds. Then, in marsby
regions the great quantities of moist
ure sucked up by the supAowers ward
off the attacks of malaria. But then
the sunhower is hardly suitable to
make buttonhole bouquets or to add
to the attractiveness of floral shows.

The peculiar .tion on the kidneya
end urinary organs by asparagus is
frequently noticed during the season.
Prot Benson recently proved in the
case Of Emperor William and others
that in combination with malt and
quinine it is an absolute specific for
diseases OF the liver, kidneys and uri-
nary organs. His method has been
adopted by The Malt Bitters Company,
and this great German food is now
composed of malt, hops, quiuine bark
and esparagus.-M Medica5 Times.

a Tragedy in Three Acts.

A singular and terrible affair oc-
Cured in Rowan county, n. c., the
other day. A barn-raising was going
on upon the plantation of Maj. Dews.
John Held and Peter Joseph, two of
the wOrkmen upon the building got in
to quarrel, and Held threw an AK at
Joseph, the keen blade literally splitting
his head in two, scattering his brains
and killing him instantly. AS Held
threw the ak he lost his foothold and
fell from the building, breaking his
neck. Three men were on the ground
at the time-James Cephas. Richard
Wiley, and Ned Blandford-engaged
in raising heavy log. They became
so much excited at the tragedies they
had just witnessed that Cephas lost his
hold on the log and caused it to fall.
AS it came down it caught Wiley and
crushed his abdomen, inflicting injuries
from which he died. OF the five men
at work on the building only two re-
NAMED alive.

Walking With His Skull Fractured

Harrisburg (Pa) Telegraph.
A very serious accident happened on
Wednesday morning to Wesley Walls,
young man employed at Hefright's
stone quarry at Warrior Ridge, short
distance west of Huntingdon. A stone
became detached from the side of the
quarry, and in the descent struck him on
the left side of the head, fracturing his
skull. He was brought to the borough
limits ON hand-car, when he walked
to the Eagle hotel, his boarding place.
After washing himself he went down
town to see DIR. d. 2. Miller. Upon
examination the doctor saw that Wallis
skull was badly fractured, and that a
delicate operation would have to be
performed. They returned to the
Eagle hotel. where DIR. Miller, assisted
by DIR. A. b. Brumbaugh. removed four
pieces of the lower table of the skull
and ten pieces of the upper. It was
found that a small piece had penetrated
the membrane of the brain. The hole
in Walls head measures about one and
half by one and fourth inches, ex-
posing the brain to view. Walls has
been conscious since the accident, and,
although his life may be hanging in
the balance, it is not altogether i'm
probable that he will recover.

Mr.. Wilde. however, should be cred.

1t lasted but an hour. at about 8:l5
he ambled upon the stage alone, and
without introduction began his lecture.
He was dressed in black dress coat
and knee breaches, silk stockings, low
shoes, white vest and an abundance
OF long hair, which we are afraid is sap
ping his brain. During his whole lee
ture, not gesture nor a shadow Of
force was attempted; nothing but a
languid, monOt0nOus stream of me-
chemically arranged words. Every SEN
tence ended with a rising infection,
and he spoke fully twenty-five minutes
before he came TO full stop. His face
was as vacant and expressionless as a
putty cast, and his figure rs unprepos-
sessing As a guide-bOard. His lecture
was simply well written essay, schol-
arly, but pointless; as instructive ss a
tax-list to a pauper, and was scarcely
as interesting.

The Pope and America.


Republicanism and Catholicity are
here welded together, and if divorce
ever occurs it will be on the side of
the state, not ON the church. God
grant that such an occasion may never
arise. for it would signal the loosening
OF the republic, not the downfall of
Catholicity. Our Catholic people here
are loyal to the successor of Peter in a
spiritual sense, as their own state in
civil sense. Country and religion 60
hand In hand here where there is NO
state religion at all, but where the
state gives full liberty to profession OF
creeds to prove themselves by their
works. The phantom of papal inter
ference that scheming statesmen FOL
wicked ends conjure up in other lands
nave never appeared on these shores.
Papal interference is here seen and
proved to be nothing only to make
Catholics good Catholics, and so good
citizens of there public. The pope is in
no sense a foreign power. He is the

The Gambler.

Here is vivid picture Of the gam
bier. by DIR. Talmage:
Every other business yields some
thing to the community. Even The
strolling musician contributes to our
amusement. Even the fly purifes the
atmosphere. Bat the gambler gives
nothing. No; 1 recall that. He does
give some return in the destruction of
the men whom he victimizes: disgrace
to his wife, ruin to the children; death
to his soul. The gambler does pay,
but he pays in poverty, ruin, tears,
blood, woe and perdition.
"Come into the ten-pin alley where
there are husbands, fathers, brothers,
sons. Boys, set up the pinsl Quick,
here, set 'em up Roll the ball. That
strikes. Down goes the immortal soul
1t is not so much the pins that fall, but
the soul.
"Shall L in word or two sketch the
career of a gambler He is first lured
by bad company, and goes into places
where an honest man ought never to
go, for the sake of curiosity or to be
sociable. He sits down at the game.
The dealer puts out the cards for the
play. Then, unconsciously, he takes
an interest in trumps. A small stake
is put. Then he takes more interest.
Game after game is played? The
stakes become larger. The players be-
gin to move uneasily in their chairs.
Then they sit there with brows lower
ed. eyes flashing, set jaws, compressed
lips and clenched fists. The losers are
filed with envy, or the winners utter
ing the cry. 4 have it! hal hal
have It'll" A few years go by. Then
you see the wreck of a man coming
and putting down the last relic of a
dead, dead wife; the last relic that seal
ed the solemn bond between them. He
loses. His bright hours have passed.
A gang of fiends join hands in dance
about him, and with fendish cry
Hail, brotherl hail, brotherp Their
loathsome locks, like serpents, crawl
into his bosom. Their hooking cry an
swers his wall of agony,
"Then comes the gamblers death
bed. No hope. He will probably die
unattended. The men who destroyed
him will not come and ring the bell
and ask how he is. He has no obse-
quies. His poor body is carried to
the Potters6eld, and wretches will look
out of the window and cry, "His old
carcass is dead at last Visit not that
grave in the sunlight, for that would
seem mockery. But in the dismal
night, when, when no stars are out and
the spirit of darkness comes horsed
down on the wind-then Is the time
to visit the gamblers grave. May God
save you from the scathing, scalding,
blasting, damning inflence of the gam.

Ailments that Seem Trif,ine

Are often but the prelude to complica-
ton of obstinate maladies. Ameng the
former, are fit of indigestion, loss of ap-
petite. biliOusness and inactivity of the
bowels. 1t is highly unsafe to disregard
any OF these symptoms of bodily derange-
ment. They should be attended to at once,
ere they become chronic. and involve the
general health. The above complaints
may be easily subdued with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Rheumatism and fever
and ague, both maladies for which the
above is a reliable specific, yield most
readily to it in their incipiency. The testi-
fOrtifying influence upon the system. is
particularly satisfactory and conclusive.
Nervous ailments are among the malad es
for which prompt relief is obtained by the
use of this sterling medicine.

SpecuIations About Rich Men,

in New York Central and Hudson
River stock, $4,000. 900 mo,e in other
railroads in this and other states, aud
a vast amount of valuable real estate
in this city. His property cannot
amount TO less than $200,000,000, and
probably is nearer $300,000,000 than
the former sum. He is, without ques-
ton, the richest man on the globe to-
day. He could buy any of the ROths-
childs, and still be the richest man in
the world. And unlike the rich men of
England--the dukes of Bedford, West
minister, Argyll, and Buecleuch. who
inherited their great estates-Vander-
bits property has been accumulated
in two generations, and most of it
within thirty years. The case stands
without a parallel in history.

To Avoid Breathing contagion.

DR.. Foote'S Health Monthly.
A writer in the nineteenth century
says that contagiOn consists of minute
solid particles. and not gaseous dissem-
ination, If this is true we can readi-
ly understand that a person who
breathes only through the nose will be
much less likely to catch a contagious
disease in sick room than would a
mouth-breather. Free ventilation,
perfect cleanliness, and frequent chang
es OF clothing, afford the best means
OF removing the contagious particles
given of by sick persons.
