straw Lumber.

The proprietor of the straw
factory at Lawrence, Kansas,
had on exhibition a sewing
machine table, and it was the
unanimous opinion that it was
as finely finished as any ever
seen, proving beyond a doubt
that the straw lumber is sue
ceptible of a finer polish than
any native lumber grown in the
United States, if not equal to
rosewood. There is no mistake
about the success OF this enter
prise. This lumber will be
splendid for building railroad
coaches, for inside or outside
finish. The uses of this lumber
are unlimited; and has no
superior for finish, and no equal
for durability or cheapness. 1t
never warps nor cracks, is insen-
sible to the change OF the
weather, and can be made per-
fectly 6re-proof.

What coss. WIN Do.


According to DIR. Book, Of
Leipsic, coffee and tea are the
chief causes Of the nervousness
and peevishness Of our time.
DIR. Henry Segar takes the
opposite ground, and enumer-
ates the blessings which the in
fusion can produce:
It is a mental and bodily
stimulant, assisting to convert
the blood into nervous moving
and thinking faculties.
Itlessens the waste Of tissue,
and thus lessons the amount OF
food necessary to support the
system.
1t will often cut short and
cure attacks Of intermittent few
CT.
In typhus fever it increases
the excretions OF urea, and SO
far puri6es the blood without in
creasing tissue metamorphosis.
1t tends to lessen coma and
low delirium. 1t is DR.. Segar's
chief reliance in yellow fever.
1t is useful in spasmodic asth-
ma, whooping cough and hys-
terics. It is ia diuretic in car
die utopsy. In opium poison
ing its efficacy is well known.
After a heavy meal it relieves
the sense of oppression and
helps digestion.
1t is a disinfectant and deo-
dorizer.
Habitual coffee drinkers gen.
orally enjoy good health, and
live a good old age.

Texas VS.. Criminals.

Texas is no longer a safe re-
fuge for criminals from the
states. 1t is no longer vas.
grazing territory, the home OIL
the Indian and the buffalo.
Railroads are extending in every
direction, immigrants are pour
ing in from all quarters. Free
schools, seminaries, institutions
Of learning are established all
over the state. Prosperous
towns and villages have sprung
up in regions which a few years
ago were outside the haunts OF
civilization. No state in the
/ Union is making more rapid
strides in the onward march OF
progress. Churches, school
houses, mills, factories, and evil
dences of wealth and cultivation
are springing up every where.

Sheep On he Farm.

A farm can be stocked with
sheep cheaper than with any
other animals. Sheep will come
nearer utilizing everything which
grows on the farm. Less labor
will be required for getting feed
and stock, together. The re-
turns will come in sooner and
oftener than with any farm
stock except hogs. Less money
is required for shelter and fenc-
ing, and less labor is required
for herding, when outside pas
turage is accessible and prefer
red. And finally, a handsome
income on the investment can
be had without the sale of the
animals themselves.

PAaRors OPINION OF ceNsrABLEs

Tho ST. Louis Republican says that
Tom Hand, a constable desiring To
seize $50 worth OF goods on an exc
cutioR against Airs. Morton, Of ST.
Louis, could find nothing but Mrs.
Mouon's pet poll parrot, which WAS
perched away up on y wiud0w-siIl
Tom was about TO leave with empty
hands when the parrot sung out ::
"Iiilloa HlllOa /! uilloa ~ Tom
looked up and saw the bird. "Here's
something, said he - himself, "that's
worth $40 Ill hitcn on to It." He
reached up TO grab Poll, but Poll
would not be seized and pecked at
him and sung Glands off Hands
Off l'il call the peelers -
"Im a constable" said Tom !;
I've got the papers here, and you
can call whom you please"
"Durn the papers," said Poll. ''Po-

Tom made another grab, and this
time he caught Poll by the throat
and carried her over TO court. When
he got there he put her in basket
As soon as Polls throat was free
again she opened another trade on
Tom. She called hlm all manner Of
names, and ended each sentence
with, "You can 20 to Chicago yeu

Poll had begun to give the court,
as we'll as the constable, piece OF
her mind when Mrs. Morton came in
and paid the $50 sued for. She said
she would sooner pay $40 than lose
her Poll. Then she picked Poll up
and kissed her away; and as they
went cut Of court Poll cried with a

FAREWELL TO THE BANG.

One of the blessings that Is prom
ised for the coming season Is the abo-
lition of those idiot-makers Of women
called "bangs." The fashion is said
to have sprung from an idiot asylum
In the south of France, where a
very beautiful woman "a confirmed
Idict) was seen by French actress,
who took for her model the idiot NAM
ed, with the hair hanging over her
face. The fashioR "took" and the
mode Of wearing hair has been adopt
ed by every female idiot since.

ruE sCisSCE or KISSING.

Science in the last few years has
gained terrible foothcld in this
world 1t has ratified the dry bones
Of fogyIsm made pi out Of worn-out
theories, upset ideas which have
been established for centuries. The
latest and most astonishing fact that
has been developed Is tsNt there Is
scientific mode Of kissing. The day
when young man could grab a girl
around the neck and gohhle kiss in
n rough bat comfortable manner is
past. The time when he could en-.
circle her waist with one arm, get
his shIrt-bosoIn full of hair-oil, and
piourette his lips on every square inch
of her countenance is no more. Sci
ence has proclaimed against Il, aud
man shudders, Tut remains silent.
Tho old style of kissing, which sounds
like some one tearing clapboard off
smoke-house, is now considered cad
taste, and, consequently, is rapidly
going out of fashion, although the
majority of girls admit that science
has cruelty destroyed all the comfort
of a long-lingering heart-thFilling
kiss, and causes them to express ne
little regret at the change. The Inn
proved scientific method of kissiag
is to throw the arm languidly around
the fair oRe's shoulder, till her chin
up with the left hand until her nose
is pointed at an angle of fOrty-five de-
grees, or rather until 1t has an aspect
resembling the bowsprst of a clipper
built sloop, then slowly, and, grazing
about her lips In quiet, subdued
sort of way, tickle her nose with
your m9ustaehe until she cries,
"OHch % This Is scientific kissing,
but there Is no consolation in il. 1t
is fat, lukewarm it lacks substance,
and il not stale. is at least unprofita-
