A few miles away from Philadelphia
are living a family of triplets, two men
and woman, who are 80 years of age.
They are the children of an old Lutheran
clergyman named ROLLERS, and are all
hale and hearty. These triplets have al
ways lived together The brothers are
married, but the sister has remained a
spinster
One of the worst foes of the fishermen
of Maine has been the prolific dog
which, of no value in itself, has been an
arch-destroyer Of valuable species. But
now, after many experiments fish scrap
has been made from it which is said to be
excellent food for fowls, aud from which
useful oil can be expressed, leaving a
residum of much value as fertilizer. If
the sanguine discoverer of this process
succeeds in Transforming the dog-fish
from curse into blessing he will de-
serve well of his fellow-citizens.
The late Fl. D. Hirst, of Germantown,
Penn, had such a passion for roses that
he collected them at great expense from
every part of the world in which they
grow, and with his own hands cultivated
them so assidiously that it Is believed the
care of them actually undermined his
health. He worked among them early
and late-before he went to business in
the morning, and by the light of Ian
tern at night. The collection, number
ing ], 800, and all the varieties known to
horticulturalists, was seld at auction re-
Gently. The bushes brought an average
price of $50 per 100.
The richest man in Mexico is declared
to be an Irishman named Milmo, whose
possessions are valued at 100000 900.
He lives on high tableland comprising
about 100000 acres, which is some 35,-
900 feet high, the sides of it being rocky
and perpendicular. His residence is a
handsome stone structure furnished in
royal fashion. Several times he has been
captured by brigands and been compel
LED to pay from $4,000 to $4,000 ran
som. Recently he caused the approaches
to this tableland to be so altered 80 as to
convert the place into sort of citadel,
accessible only by narrow path, which
is obstructed by az iron gate of enormous
proportions.
KILLED IN DOING AN ACT OF MERCY.
"A former resident of Toronto, named
Archibald Cooper, was, it appears, killed
during one of the engagements at Kas-
sassin, in the Egyptian campaign. The
circumstances of his death are: At the
brilliant engagement of Kassassin, Coop
er, who belonged to the Fourth Dragon
Guards, observing an infantry soldier
writhing under his wounds, dismounted
to give him a drink from his water-fask.
While performing this humane duty he
received bullet wound in his left breast,
two inches below the nipple. At first the
wound was not thought dangerous, and
hopes were entertained that he would
soon recover. He was wounded on Au-
gust 28th, and died on the Both. The
Captain of Cooper's troop spent half an
hour with him before his death. Cooper
left Toronto between four and five years
ago for London, England, where he join
ed the army He was a plumber, and
had worked for several parties in this
city. He was much respected by his fel,
-workmen.-T Toronto CanadG) Globe.

ALIVE IN HER SHRoUD.-On Tuesday
afternoon last Mrs. w. L. Petit, wife of
the teller of the First National Bank of
Fort.Wayne, apparently died, and the
undertaken took charge of her body. Ar
rangements were being made for the fu-
neral, and watchers were sitting with the
supposed dead. At 10 o'clock a faint
sigh was heard coming from the body
The watchers started to their feet in
alarm, stepped to her side, found her eyes
open, while in a voice that wus scarcely
an audible whisper, she recognized them,
and asked for her husband For mo-
ment the attendants were speechless with
wonder at this resurrection of the dead;
then, with the revulsion of feeling they
almost screamed with excitement. The
husband came in haste, and with Joy un-
speakable clasped again his living wife
in his arms. The doctor was sent for,
and he was astonished as much as the
rest of the household at beholding living
what in his exact medical scienceghe had
declared dead He administered the
proper restoratives, and the patient rap
idly recovered, and was declared at late
hour to be in a more hopeful condition
than ever.-Fort Wayne (Indiano) Ga

Frank James, one of the leaders of the
late gang of Missouri highwaymen, the
brother of Jesse, who was slain by the
Ford brothers, will be arraigned for trial

himself up to the authorities of Missouri.

WHY We EAT OYSTERS RAw.-Or


WHY We EAT OYSTERS RAw.-Our
practice in regard to the oyster is quite
exceptional, and furnishes a striking ex-
ample of the general correctness of the
popular judgment on dietetic questions.
The oyster is almost the only animal sub
stance which we eat habitually or by pre-
ference in the raw or uncooked state, and
it is interesting to know that there is a
solid physiological reason at the bottom
of this preference. The fawn-colored
mass which constitutes the dainty of the
oyster is its liver, and this is little less
than heap cf glycogen. Associated
with the glycogen, but withheld from
actual contact with it during its life, is its
appropriate digestive ferment, the hepatic
diastase. The mere crushing of the dain-
ty between the teeth brings these two
bodies together, and the glycogen is at
once digested without any help by its
Giastase. The oyster in the uncooked
state. or merely warmed, is, In fact self
digestive; but the advantage of this pro-
vision is wholly lost by cooking, for the
heat employed Immediately destroys the
associated ferment, and the cooked oy-
ster has to be digested, like any other
food. by the eaters own digestive powers.

The republican party is but a quartz
of century old, but in that short period
it has accomplished more than any other
party in century. 1t first shouldered
its guns and absolutely saved the Nation.
It made six millions of men and women
free. 1t has made long stride toward
paying the debt created by the war 1t
established the best financial system the
world has ever seen. 1t has made the
Nation respect herself at home, and the
name of America q by-woro of honor in
every civilized country on the globe.
Every city and village and country seat
smiles in peace, and this large prosperity
has come directly from this wise and benef-
icent rule of the Republican party No
reader of history can doubt one of these
facts. IF the searcher for truth in the fu-
ture should desire to investigate the rea-
son for the wonderful revulsion of 1882
he will find that Kansas, Indiana and
Ohio were alarmed lest beer would not
flow fast enough through spigot, and
whisky was not free. He will find that
in Pennsylvania, New York and Massa-
chusetts great reformers were scared out
of their boots at the shadow of what they
imaginedx was ga boss.' These grand
reasons, nothing more nor less, were the
reasons from turning aside from the rule
that had brought the Nation through the
grandest history ever written of any peo-
pie. But it was done; and The Inter
Ocean only records the history, and sets
TO work with the patriotic men and wom-
en- who have not lost heart to do the best
thing possible to secure from the wreck
the values endangered.-Inter Ocean.

TO DAIRYMEN OF WISCONSIN.

You are doubtless aware that a grand
union dairy fair is to be held at the Ex-
position building in Milwaukee, com
mencing December 4th, and continuing
during the week. This fair is to be held
under the united efforts of the Milwau-
kee Exposition Association, the Wiscon-
sin Dairymen's Association, the North
western Dairymen's Association, and the
National Cheese, fButter and Egg Associa-
ton. In this fair $4,000 will be offered
in premiums on butter, cheese and dairy
cattle Exhibits of butter or cheese will
be shown from all the dairy states of the
Union, including Canada. Under these
circumstances, the Wisconsin associations
feel peculiar interest in the success of
this fair, to the end that our state shall be
we'll represented in the extent and excel
)ence of exhibit. It is just this pride,
which, in the past, has made us what we
are-one of the foremost dairy states in
Union. If we make a show at this fair
worthy of ourselves, it will prove Of great
advantage to our state i'll reputation and
future profit We therefore appeal to
every maker of butter or cheese, whether
a factory man or a private dairyman to
make special effort to exhibit butter,
cheese or cattle at this fair, and ask you
further to stir up the dairymen vicin-
ity to this end. CHAs r. BEACH,

New York is the champion topper.
No man can tell from year to year the
course of its unstable population. In 1861
it gave round republican majority of

ic majority of 1882. And so it has va
cillated backward and forward. The fol-
lowing table shows the rate for the past

Burned TO Ashes.

A dreadful calamity occurred near
Troupsburg last Monday morning. A
farmer named Curtis Lampman started
early in the morning for Knoxville
with a load of grist. After he had
departed his wife left her two LITTLE
children asleep in bed and stared out
TO milk the cows. When she was re-
turning from the milking she saw
smoke issuing from The door of the
house. She hurried to the house and
was Mortified to find that it was on fire.
She attempted to rush in and save her
children, but she was driven back bva
cloud OF flames. She could plainly
hear their terrified screams but was
powerless to give them aid. She made
one last effort by climbing into win.
dow and striving to reach herOffspring
by that means. When the neighbors
arrived they found her terribly
burned and suffering intense pain.
Her clothing had been burned from
her body and her flesh was backened
to crisp. The house was burned to the
ground and the children were con-
sumed in it. 4 neighbor drove to
Knoxville and informed the father of
the calamity, who was almost crazed
with grief and hurried back to his
ruined home and suffering wife. The
origin of the fire is mystery. 1t is
though that Mrs. Lampman's injuries
will prove fatal also. .-E2Glo3ad .y0,lyllol

A Recipe to Make Pretty women

A celebrated beauty, whose COM
plexion at sixty was fresher than that
of our women at thirty, told me her
secret this summer, and it was divided
into two parts: First-She never
used washrag or towel OH her face, but
washed it with her hands, rinsing is
OF with a soft sponge. She used clear
water in the morning, but white cas-
! tile soap or very warm water at night,
and after drying il on soft towel she
would take tlesh-brush and rub her
checks, chin and forehead. Second
If she was going to be up late at night
she always slept as many hours in the
day as she expected to be awake be-
yond her usual time. She finished
her little sermon Oh beauty preserva-
ton by saying: "Soft water and
sound sleep keeps eff wrinkles and
spots, and girls should give more at
tontion to this than they do, for

Judge Kelley spoke at quite mum
Der Of Beaver meetings during the late
campaign, but contented himself with
telling his audience of the imperative
necessity Of abolishing the internal
taxes. He now takes Beavers defeat
very philosophically, seeing in the
success Of the Democrats an indication
that the people are tired of boss rule,
which he terms the curse of the State,
and entertains hope that an end has
been put to it forever. 1t is because a
large portion of the Republican party
thought with Judge Kelley that the
election of PattisOn was the alternative
to continuance of the boss rule which
they loathed that the Democratic can
didate was chosen. The Republican
majority can resume power when it
chooses, but until that old man of the
sea, Cameron, and his henchmen have
been shaken OF from the Republican
shoulders, it will be impossible to
muster the full Republican strength
for the Republican ticket, as it was in
the last campaign.-PhitQdeiDhiu
