contract rheumatism because of the con-

reporter had a pleasant conversation with
Mr.. J. n. Mattern, one of the most pop

the army during the civil war, he sprained
one of his ankles. which was always worse
in the spring during the period of the
rapid changes in the weather. He
did not find much relief from the
several remedies he applied. But two

its use. Several applications of the
Great German Remedy relieved him ell
tirely. The reporter talked with others

Anti-LiQ|uop

To come before the
public with an absolute
cure for drunkenness, or
a specific to remove the
desire for alcoholic slim
ulants, seems to many,
we have no doubt, an
absurdity; such is the
case, nevertheless, and
eoffering gourmedi-
cine to the public we
thoroughly convinced
ourselves by actual ex-
pertinent that it would
do all we claim for it.
Browns IRON BITTERs,
a complete non-alcohoic
tonic, will not only remove
all the nervous disorders and
weakness remaining afterex-
cessive indulgence caused by
Aquor, but will absolutely
kill that desire for artificial
stimulants that every intem-
perate man feels driving
him to ruin.
BROWN S IRON B1rTERs
is also a remarkable and
trustworthy remedy
(having the confidence
of the medical profess
sion) for Dyspepsia, In
digestion, and all disor-
ders of the nerves, mus
cles, and digestive or
gans. AS a spring tonic
for ladies, children, and
all thatneed new life and
rich blood, it is without
an equal. Price $1.ooa
bottle. Get the genuine.

A man came to the Office with black
eye, q strip Of court plaster across his
cheek, one arm in . sling, and as he
leaned on Q crutch and wiped the per-
spiration away from around q lump on
his forehead, with red cotton handker-
chief, he asked if the editor was in. We
noticed that there was quite healthy
smell of stock-yards about the visitor,
but thinking that in his crippled condi-
ton We could probably whip him, if
worse came to worse, We admitted that
we were in.
"Well, Iwant to stop my paper" said
he, as he sat down on one edge of q chair,
as though it might hurt "Scratch my
name right of. You are responsible for
my condition"
Thinking the man might have been
taking our advice to deaf men, to always
walk on railroad track if they could
find one, we were preparing to scratch
him off without any argument, believing
that he was a man who knew when he
had enough, when he spoke up as fol-
lows:
"The amount of it is this. live out
in Jefferson County, and come in on

creation. I am farmer, and keep COWS.

| on me, and decided to commence on
her, and the next morning after read
your devilish paper, Iput on my Sunday
suit, and the white plug hat that I bought
the year Greeley run for President, and
went to the barn to milk. noticed the
old COW seemed to be bashful, and fright
ened, but taking off my hat and bowing
politely, I said, Madame, excuse thes seem
ing improperly of the request, but will
you do me the favor to hoist? At the
same time I tapped her gently on the
flank with my plug hat, and putting the
tin pail on the floor under her I sat down
on the milking-stool.
"Did she hoist?" said we, rathe,
anxious to know how the advice had
worked.
"Did she hoist? Well, lock at me,
and see if you thing she hoisted. Say,
tell you in confidence, and I DOM
want it repeated, but that COW raised
right up and kicked me with all four feet
switched me with her tail and hooked me
with both hcrns, all at once, and when
got up out of the bedding in the stall
and dug my hat out of the 1nanger, and
the milking stool out from under me, ani
| began to maui that COW, forgot all abou
the proper treatment Of horned cattle
Why, she fairly galloped over me, and

advice did not apply to brindle cows a
all, but he hobbed out, the maddes
man that ever asked COW to hoist in di

PROFESSOR THURsToN has made ex-
periments on the strength of SO differ
eent alloys, in the laboratory of Stevens
Institute of Technology, in New York.
The quantity of copper in the alloys
varied from 10 to 80 per cent, and that
of zinc between 10 per cent. and 40 per
cent. An alloy containing 81 per cent.
copper, 43 per cent. tin and per cent.
zinc, showed the greatest stregth; it
was of nice color, hard, capable OF
being polished, and could be forged if
carefully heated For purposes in which
great resistance, as well as strength, are
required, an alloy containing less tin is
better adapted, the proportion being IS
per cent. copper, 445 per cent. zinc,
and O.. per cent. tin. A good result was
also obtained with an alloy the compo-
sition of which was given few years
ago by Mr.. J. A. Tobin, which is little
known. The proportions are: Copper,
58.2 per cent; zinc, 80. 5 per cent. tin,
20 per cent. This alloy can be bent
when cold or warm, and is very good for
screws and nuts, and can be forged at q
low. red heat.
