Before we got on the train writes
Gath | observed at Cincinnati TALL
rather handsome woman of the blonde
character, and evidently a Kentucky
lady, come to the train accompanied by
a large-bearded, phlegmatic person.
These people had seen sitting together
at the dramatic festival, and supposed
them to be a newly married couple
The train left Cincinnati at an early
hour in the morning, yet these two were
down to see Mary Anderson off. When
they parted the lady kissed Miss Ander-
son, and then said that she must give a
kiss for ''him, " meaning, [ suppose, the
phlegmatic man aforesaid. Miss Ander-
son allowed the kiss to be given, but
without- any other recognition of the
man, and quietly resumed her seat. !
inquired of an actress in the car who
those people might be Ny acquaint-
ance said; The man is very rich He
is in business in New Orleans. He is
dead in love with Mary Anderson and
wants to marry her, Fine-looking as he
is, she does not give him any encourage
ment. That lady is his sister, who is
doing the best she can to forward the
match.
Mr.. Conner, don't you think that
girl will make some great, rich, or titled
marriage?"
well, L don't know" said Mr.. Con-
nor. Her heart-strings are probably
like ours. She may marry some man as
poor as we are. That she will marry
am pretty sure, because she has warm,
generous nature, and that will make hen
eventually fall in love-

DROPS OF WATER.

Mr.. Joseph Bicknell, No. 642 Main street. Cam
bridgeport, Mass, writes, April "a, 1888; II have
been terribly afflicted for number of years with
gravel and kidney disease My urine contained
buck-dust deposits, and at times could not pass
my water except in drops and with great. pain;
and have had to get up as many as fifteen times

they dore me no good, but friend of mine, who
had used Hunts Remedy Id me to get bottle
and try it. He lad been cured of a severe case
similar to mine, and that others had used Hunt's
Remedy in Cambridge and pronounced it medi-
cine of real merit. After being repeatedly urged

smaller ones. / have used in all ten bottles, and

The En- 1,rn nf p

Inc statement from Lansingburg, N. !
l., that firm there has iHst completed
paper steamboat for 4 PittsburG COM
pany IS not surprising. The vessel is
twenty feet long, and will accommodate
nearly three dozen people, and has a |
carrying capacity of three tons. The
sheathlng is three-eighths OF an inch
thick, and bullet from revolver fired
at 1t from distance of four feet made
no abrasion in it. The Baltimore Ne,os
says that the next thing we shall hear
OF, will be the paper locomotive.
Some one has already constructed a
light and pretty paper railway carriage.
Paper wheels are very common, and an
inventor is confident that he can make
paper rails success. Paper ties are
liked facts, and much superior to those
of wood. Paper houses have long since
lost their novelty, and almost every i'm
aginable small article of common service
has been formed out of paper. In short,
where will the uses of paper end? Men,
and they are not enthusiasts, predict
that the day is not far distant when,
from the solid and hardened pulp, every
thing will be manufactured that is now
made from wood and iron. Thus we
see, at least in the case of the former,
how nature always preserves the bal
ance of compensation Our forests are
fast going-at the present rate of des-
truction some even of those now living
may see the end of them But already,
for most of the purposes to which we
turn them to account, paper supplies
the place. In many cases also the paper
is really better than the wood. 1t is al
ways less expensive and, in most in
stances, will last much longer. 1t can,
moreover; be made fre-proof, so that
when we shall come to build our houses
of it they will be practically indestructi-
BILE at much less cost than at present,
and of course down viii go insurance
rates. And yet it is comparatively
little while since this fabric began to be
used for other than writing and wrap
ping purposes. As to paper itself, it
may be said to be absolutely inexhausti-
BILE, for there is hardly any material,
from wood, rags, husks, peat, or turf,
leather and weeds togutta percha, from
which it cannot be made. The poets
have often sung the. wonders of iron
let them celebrate the giories and mar
vels of paper.

The above words are from Mr.. Lewis Keen, No
Highland Avenue, Maiden, Mass, April. 28th,
1888. He saws: Il have been troubled for years
with kidney and liver complaint, followed by
gravel, win severe pains in my back and groins
he'd great trouble in passing water, it being
scanty, and accompanied by terrible burning the
vessel being coated with brick-dust deposit was
recommended to use Hunts Remedy by friend
who had been completely cured of similar
trouble. purchased bottle at the druggists,
and commenced to improve at once. l have used
but two bottles, audit has dore wonders for me :;
no more kidney trouble, no more pain. 1t has
given me new life, and would not be without
Hunts Remedy ut any price. 1t is all that it is
recommended to be, and Icheerfnlly give this tes-
tmony for the benefit of the many sufferers from
kidney disease and gravel"

Beef Tea Too Thin.

A Heidelberg graduate gave report
er some facts and figures the other day
that will surprise majority of people.
He said: lit is a thing most curious
that almost everybody seems to regard
beef tea as kind of essence of all the
nutritious and strengthening qualities
of the meat You will even hear some
doctor talk of building up heirpatients
on beef tea. Now, the fact is that there
is in a bowl of beef tea but little. if any,
more nutriment than there is in n glass
of lemonade. How could there be? We
know that the principal nutriment parts
of beef, besides its Is per cent. of water,
are albumen and fat. Now, albumen
coagulates atl176 degrees Fahrenheit, and
at PIP, the boiling point, it becomes like
eggs hard boiled. AS a consequence,
the albumen contained in the meat be-
comes entangled in the meshes and is
firmly held there OF course, then, the
albumen does not find its way into the
beef tea. As for the fat, the only re-
naming strengthening ingredient, that
comes to the top and is always careful
ly skinned off, for nothing is more dis
gushing to a sensitive appetite than
greasy beef tea. And yet you will say
that well-made beef tea is very palatable
and seems to do good in many cases of
weak and disordered stomachs, stimu-
lating, not nourishing.
$50 it is, and so it does. And yet
beef tea is not nourishing. 1t is stimu-
lating, however, and when we are sick
and have no appetite, we know that if
we can get the stomach to retain cup
of beef tea it will not be long before the
organ will call for something that is
really substantial and nourishing. 1t
has the same stimulating effect as glass
of brandy or whisky, without entailing
the depressing after effect which alcohol
produces. The ingredient that gives.to
beef tea its strong, agreeable flavor Is a
fluid that is dissolved out of the white
tibrOus tissues of the meat, and which,
as | said before, is no more nourishing
than so much lemon juice. An expert
ment was made on three dogs, all as
nearly alike, as to age and size, as we
could get them. The dogs were alrshut
up in separate pens, side by side. For
the first dog was ordered diet OF
Liebig' extract of beef and all the watel
he wanted to drink. Dog No. 2 was res
tricted to water only, being allowed
nothing whatever to eat, while the third
animal was allowed neither food of any
kind to eat nor water OF course the
dog that had no water was the first to
die; but if you should guess which was
the next to suceumb you would prob
ably make mistake. 1t was:not the dog
that was allowed nothing to eat, but the
one at the lower end of the row, who
died with quantity of meat extract
within six inches of his nose. Dog No.
8, with nothing but water in his kennel,
got along well enough for about month,
and then died suddenly We expected
him to remain about six weeks, but ]
think the death of the other dogs had a
depressing effect on him. Now, it is
Just as certain that the dog which died
with the Liebig's extract under his nose
was starved to death as it is that dog
No. 9 died from the same cause.
