The following from the Findlay C0ur-
ieT is John Sullivan straight-from-the-
shoulder slug at an evil that ought to
be knocked out:
'There is plenty of poor butter
brought to every market. That there
is poor butter is due in great measure to
the fact that buyers pay as much for
poor butter as they do for good, thus en-
cOuraging the makers of the miserable
axle-grease, yclept butter. Pay per-
son the real value of his or her butter
and the public will not have to hold its
nose when it eats.o

William Hicks, his wife, and five
children became wildly insane at
Charleston, Illinois, and were commit
ted to an asylum. The Oldest daughter
had gone home sick. Her mother re-
fused any medicine, claiming that she
had a revelation from heaven that she
could wash all sins and ills away with
salt water. Hicks got the idea that the
family were band Of angels under the
especial care of God. The children
took to repeating passages of scripture
and speaking of themselves as angels.
Mrs. Hicks had been losing sleep while
waiting upon her sick daughter, and
during all this time she was laboring
under such intense religious excitement
that her nervous system became over
strained, and as she had a powerful in
fiuence over the other members of the
family they also became insane.

How to Split a Sheet OF Paper.

Il is one OF the most remarkable properties
Of that wonderful product, paper, that 1t can
he split into two or even three parts, however
thin The sheet We have seen leaf Of the
Illustrated NetS thus divided into three parts,
or three thin leaves. One consisting OF the
surface on which the cngravings are printed;
another was the side containing tue letter
press, and perfectly blank piece on elch
side was ihe paper that lay between. Many
people wEo have not seen this done might
think it impossible; yet it is not only posi-
bic. but extremely easy, as We Shall show.
Get piece OF plate glass and place on It
sheet Of paper; then let the latter be thor
oughly soaked. With care and a little deZ-
terity the sheet can be split by the top surface
being removed. But the best plan IS to paste
a piece Of cloth or strong paper to each side Of
the sheet TO be split When dry, violently
and without hesitation pull the two pieces as
under. when part OF the shec. viii be found
TO have adhered 20 one and part to the other.
Soften the paste in water and the pieces can
be easily removed from the cloth. The process
is generally demonstrated as matter Of
curiosity, yet it can be utilized in various
ways. If we want TO paste in a scrap-booS
newspaper article printed on both sides OF the
paper, and possess only one copy, II is very
convenient 10 know how to delach the one
side from the other. The paper, when split
rs may be imagined, is more transparent than
il was before being subjected to the operation,
and the printing ink is somewhat uullcr:
otherwise the two pieces present the appear
ance Of the original If again brought together.
Some time ago the information Of how to do
this splitting was advertised to be sold for q
considerable sum. We now impart II 70 all

Hurried Dinners

1t mistake to eat quickly. Mastication
performed in haste must be imperfect even
with the best of teeth, and due adrixture OF
the salivary secretion with the food cannot
take place. When crude mass Of inadequately
crushed muscular fibre, or undivided solid
material Of any description, is thrown into tho
stomach it acts as q mechanical irritan,, and
sets no a condition in the mucous membrane
lining that organ which greatly impedes, if it
does not altogether prevent, the process Of
digestion. When the practice Of eating quickly
and filling the stomach with unprepared food
is habitual the digestive organ is rendered il
capable Of performing its proper functions.
Either much larger quantity of food than
would be necessary under natural conditions
is required, or the system suffers from lack Of
nourishmcnt Those animals which were in
tended to feed hurriedly were either gifted
with the power Of rumiuation or provided with

sooner is one course served than another is in
troduced, without giving The guest time to
digest or even TO swallow tie first. The eager
ness to secure good dividends takes a particu-
larry mischievous form when it piles food on
the plate Of a customer, and compels him to
consume it breathlessly. The matter may
seem small one, but it is not so. Just as a
man may 60 on for years with defective teeth,
imperlectly maslicating his food, and wonder
ing why he snffcrs from indigestion so q man
may habitually live under an infection Of hur-
ried dinners, and endure the consequent loss
Of health, without knowing why he is not well,
Or how easily the cause Of his illness might be
