Simple Cure for Dyspepsia.

A gentleman who is in business in
Gais city has cured himself of a chron-
ic and ugly form of dyspepsia in q
very simply way. He was given up
to Gle, but he finally abandoned alike
the doctors and the drugs and resorted
10 method of treatment which most
doctors and most persons would laugh
at as ''an old woman's remedy" 1t
was simply the swallowing of tea
cupful Of hot water before breakfast
every morning. He took the water
from the cook S teakettle, and so hot that
he could only take it by the spoonful
For about three weeks this morning
dose was repeated. the dyspepsia all
the while decreasing. At the end of
that time he could eat, he says, any
breakfast or dinner that any well per-
son could eat-had gained in weight
and has ever since been hearty and
well. His weight now is thirty or for
ty pounds greater than during the
dyspepsia suffering, and for several
years he has had no trouble with his
stomach-unless it was some Temporal
ry inconvenience due to a late supper
or dining cut, and in such case sin
gle trial Of his anti-breakfast remedy
was sure to set all things right. He
obtained this idea from a German doc
tor, and in turn recommended it to
others, and in every case according to
this gentleman's account, cure was
effected.-Hqrtord Couraaat.

Theatrical Tricks.

Curious rs it may seem, it is not
generally known by the theater audi
ence that the "perilous leaps" terrific
scaling of precipices,' and other similar
feats which fall to the lot of the hero
and heroine of the play, are in almost
every case performed by dummy"
Thus, it is not the prima donna who,
as "Amina" in LA Sonnambula,"
walks in her sleep across a trembling
bridge at the back Of the stage, nor in
The Romance of Poor Young Man
is it the leading man who takes a fly
ing leap from tower, but in each case
carefully dressed dummy" whose
bones are not particularly precious.
They tell this story of "Mazeppa"
performance in the old days, which
shows how this theatrical trick some
times results: A celebrated star WAS
playing the piece and had circus
rider made up to look like him to do
the riding. Of course the audience
supposed the rider to be the star. In
those days the runs up the mountain
were elaborately arranged, and the
flight of the wild horse was startling
incident. One night the horse fell
with the rider. crashing from the flies
to the stage The curtain was rung
down, and presently the star was led
before it, staggering as though badly
injured, and said that, in spite of the
fall, he would endeavor to finish the
play. And he did so, amid frantic
applause. The poor wretch of rider
lay in the hospital for four weeks.

Centennial Fun.

During the Centennial exhibition the
United States building was the scene
of an amusing blunder which, however.
taught one lady the necessity of
caution. The government had dressed
a number of wooden statues, SO carved
and painted as to resemble soldiers and
sailors in the various uniforms Of the
army and navy. So life-like were
these dummies that hundreds
paused to admire them, and among
others the ladies. "Just see that one
there" said one Of the ladies. "Why,
| should almost think it aliye!" and
she poked the nose of the supposed
dummy" Imagine her consterna-
ton when it deliberately turned around
and walked stilliy away. She had mis-
taken an army officer for a dummy"
In machinery hall was exhibited a
machine for ventilating mines. 1t
sent a powerful current Of air through
pipe six inches in diameter. A NOV
able nozzle, funnel-shaped, enabled the
boy-operator TO turn the current in
any direction. A flag was hung up at
a distance of fifteen feet from the
machine. So strong was the current
Of air when directed against the flag,
that it would hang out at right angles
from the pole as if blown by gale.
The mischieyous boy, not content to
blow the flag, sometimes sent breeze
among the spectators. A man with
broad-brimmed hat and long brown
hair was leaning over the railing and
peering at the machine. The boy
sent current against the flag and
then TUNED the blast, which acci-
dentally fell full upon the unfortunate
stranger The result was an unlock
editor catastrophe; the hat and brown
locks went sailing away and left bare
a head as smooth and round as
pumpkin. The man ran after his
truant hat and wig; the boy dropped
the nozzle and fled, thinking, doubt
less, that severe penalty awaited
him for having scalped man with
a gust Of wind.

Henry Claws Real Estate Sale.

The Washington correspondent of
the Boston 1drertiSer has some inter-
esting gossip about the ownership of
the Rodgers house, near the White
House. Henry Clay used to own the
lot on which it stands. lie was es-
pecialIy devoted to his Ashland farm
and the livestock upon it. One day
old Commodore John Rodgers came
home from the Mediterranean with his
naval vessel full Of live stock which
he had picked up abroad. The cargo
included one fine Andalusian iackass.
Clay wanted it for his farm. All his
offers were rejected, until one day the
commodore said, in joke: "You can
have him for your lot opposite the
White House" "Done;" was Clay's
reply, and the animal was shipped off
to Kentucky. The commodore built
the now historic house, which Secretary
Seward occupied during the war.
Here Payne endeavored to assassinate
him on the night when President Lin
coin was shot. The lot is now valued
at $4,000. -
