Annthar cnra for Mur-ain.

The following is taken from
Hills Almanac:
Fill a bottle two-thirds full of
vinegar; put in salt till it stands
one inch deep, after being well
shaken, and red pepper enough TO
make it very hot. L it be well
shaken, but pour off clear when
wanted for use.
About a pint of this mixture has
cured a COW after she had fallen
and supposed to be dying. Given
in time it is believed it will never
fail. The murrain is an imhamma-
tory disease. The contents of the
stomach of an animal that dies with
it will be found to be dry. Other
remedies that will remove inaamma-
ton will cure this disease, but this
is known to be excellent.

Regular Eating.

Half of all ordinary diseases
would be banished from civilized
life, and dyspepsia become almost
unknown, if everybody would eat
but thrice a day at regular times,
and not an atom between meals, the
intervals being not less than five
hours, that being the time required
to digest full meal and pass it out
Of the stomach.
If a person eats between meals,
the process of digestion of the food
already in the stomach is arrested,
until the last which has been eaten
is brought into the condition of the
former meal, just as if water is boil
ing and ice is put in, the whole
ceases to boil until the ice has been
melted and brought to the boiling
point, and then the whole boils to-
gether. .f
But it is a law of nature that all
food begins to decay, to rot, after
exposure to heat and moisture for a
certain time. If meal is eaten, and
in two hours another, the whole re-
mains undigested for seven hours,
before which time the rottiHg process
commences, and the man has his
stomach full Of carrion-the very
idea of which is horribly disgusting;
but that such is the case, the unen-
durable odor Of the belchings dem
ontrates.
As, then, all the food in the stom-
ach is in a rotting condition, in a
state of fermenting decay, it be
comes unfit for the purposes cf nu-
triton and for making good, pure
blood. Small wonder is it that dys-
peptics have such variety of
symptoms and aches and complaints
in every part of the system, for
there is not one drop of pure blood
IN the whole body, hence the nerves,
which feed on this impure and inn
perfect blood, are not properly nour
ished, and, as a consequence, be-
come diseased. They complain"
they are hungry, and, like a hun
cry man, are peevish, frctful, rest
less. We call 1T nervousness, and
no man ever knew a dyspeptic who
was not restless, fretful, fidgety, and
essentially disagrceable, ftful and
uncertain.
The stomach is made up Of Il
number of muscles, all Of which rrc
brought into requisition in the
process of digestion. But no mus.
Gle can work always. The busy
heart is in a state of perfect repose
for one third its time. The eye can
wink twice in a second, but this
could not be continued five minutes.
The hands and feet must have rest,
and so with the muscles of the stOm-
ach; they only can rest when there
is no work for them to do-no food
in the stomach to digest. Even at
five hours interval, and eating
thrice a day, they are kept con
stantly at work from breakfast until
the last meal is disposed OF, usually
10 O'Clock at night. But multitudes
eat heartily within an hour Of bod
time; thus, while other portions OF
the body are at rest, the stomach is
kept laboring until almost daylight,
and made to begin again at break
fast time. No wonder that the
stomach is worn out--has lost It's
power of action. Many girls be-
come dyspeptic before they are out
of their teens, in consequence OF be-
ing about the house and nibbling at
everything they lay their eyes on
that is good to eat Halls Jour
nal of Health.

Keep Ahead.

One of the grand secrets of sue
cess in life is to keep ahead in all
ways possible. If you once fall be-
hind it may be very difficult to
make up the Roadway which is lost.
One who begins with putting aside
some of his earnings, however
small, and keeps it up for a number
ofyears, is likely to become rich be-
fore he dies. One who inherits
property and goes on year by year
spending more than his income,
will become poor if he lives long
enough. Living beyond their
means has brought multitudes of
persons to ruin in our generation.
1t is the cause of nine-tenths of all
the defalcations which have dis
graced the age. Bankers and bust
ness men do not often help them
selves to other peoples money until
their own funds begin to fall off,
and the expenditures exceed their
receipts.
A man who is in debt walks In
the midst of perils. 1t can but i'm
pair man Selt-respect to know
that he is living at the expense of
others. 1t is also very desirable
that we should keep somewhat
ahead in our work. This may
not be possible in all cases; as, for
instance when a mans work is as
signed to certain fixed hours, like
that of the operative in mill. But
there are certain classes of people
who can choose their time for the
work which they are called to do,
and among them those who invari
ably put off the task assigned them
as long as possible, and then come
to its performance hurried, per-
picked, anxious, confused-in such
a state of mind as certainly uhfits
them for doing their best work.
Getlahead and keep ahead; and your
success is tolerably sure.

War History,

/
The following is furnished the
American with the request that the
newspapers ia Tennessee be asked
to republish:
To all ex-Confederate Tennessee
Captains In the conrse of next
spring, a full and complete military
history of Tennessee will be pub
lished. This work is the result of
much patient and faithful labor by
one well fitted by nature and train
ing for the undertaking. A valua-
BILE feature of the volumes will be
found in the lists of all officers and
pTivates killed or wounded in battle.
So far as the soldiers of the various
wars who belonged to the United
States service are concerned, there
is no difficulty in getting their
names from the government ar
chives. On the other hand, of the
vast number whose lives were given
up in the defense of the ConfeGer-
ate States the records pre-
served are meagre and imperfect.
More than hundred battle fields
in Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia,
Mississippi, Kentucky and else
where are fertilized by the remains
of honest and heroic men who sleep
in unknown graves. When they
fell, but few, if any, newspapers
were published to record the fact.
AS a permanent feature in Tennes-
sees history this memorial roll
will be invaluable. 1t is, for many
reasons, obvious to all exceedingly
important that this:roster of heroic
martyrs be made accurate and com
'plete.- The captains of the indi-
-vidual companies of the various
arms in the service are the only per-
sons upon whom the community
can call to make up the necessary
returns. We earnestly appeal to
you to set about the task at once.
Take pains to have the names
correct to letter; also be precise
as to date and place of death. Talk
to and correspond with your com
rades, spare no pains, be accurate,
for this memorial will be more last
ing than brass, going as it will in
to hundreds of public libraries and |
thousands of private families. Do |
not fail. No eulogy will ever be |
published upon Tennessee valor
more eloquent than the enumera-
tom Of multiplied hundreds who |
freely gave their lives as a sacrifice
to patriotism.
Not later than Dec. l, send your
returns to j. Berrien Lindsey, |
Tenn. All papers circu-
lated within the limits of Tennessee |
are respectfully solicited to publish
this circular.

Dollars worth of knowledge.

Yesterday afternoon seedy-loolSng in
dvidual in winter clothing walked into n
beer saloon on Third avenue, near Twenty
first street. He called for glass of " German
milk" and, as the froth showed its way to
the top, he remarked TO the bartender
This is good summer for flies and Pm
glad of it,"
The bartender eyed the stranger for few
seconds and replied: "Yaas, tits good
summer for flies, but why should you be
glad ?"
Z" Il make my living out of hes," answered
the funny looking man " Pm the man who
can bring flies to life after they have been
drowned" The beer-juggler had his opinion
about the customer. He is little off," he
exclaimed, addressing several young men
who displayed big shirt-colars and were
talking about baseball matches. The " fly 4"
resuscitator became angry because his abili-
ties had been laughed at, "Gimme glass of
water" he cried, :" and I'll show you how
quick i can bring fly to life after it has been
drowned"
The glass of water was produced and the
man scooped a fly with a swing of his hand
on the bar, The fly was douced in the
water. lie kept it below the surface with a
wooden cgar-lighter. 1t was fully five min
utes before the fly folded its wings and bob
bed up to the top to all appearances dead.
The stranger picked il up gently and placed
il on table, while crowd gathered about
him. " You all see," said he, that that
ERE fly is dead. Now watch me bring him
TO life. Yes, it's male fly. Male flies are
more buoyant in water than female flies and
they are harder to drown. Say, bartender,
| give me some SALT
The salt bottle was handed him and he
covered the dead fly with salt and offered Ia
bet q dollar that the fly would waltz out
alive in five minutes" The bet was taken
by young man, and the pile of salt was
gazed at intentedly by twelvepersons. Sud.
denly there was an upheayal of the salt and
grains were scattered about the table. The
apparently dead fly struggled through the
covering, paused for moment ON the heap
to perform its toilet, and then buzzed toward
the lunch counter.
The fly resuscitator pocketed the dollar
and went out, saying, eta, ia, boys, you
can get even ON some other fellow some other
day. Now you know how to bring drowned
fly to life"
After his departure several flies were
drowned and resuscitated, and the young
man who paid dollar for this really old
information went into neighboring saloon
and was heard to say. "l'u bet dollar
that can drown a fly aud bring II to life.
Z" Too late I" replied lounger, :" q tramp
