does, he will give the owner of the

Lyon county grand juries are noted
for bringing in buncombe resolutions,
at times censuring and then again
lauding men in office. At the opening
of the term of court last week Judge
Weber, in his charge to the jury,
took positive grounds in opposition to
this practice. One, Will Rich, says
in the Lyon County News that all Il

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Cerebral Drspepsia.

DIR. John S. Main discusses in the
british Medical Journal what he calls
cerebral dyspepsia a sudden piece Of
bad news, as is well known, will take
away all desire to eat even when the
stomach is empty, and the man per-
fectly healthy, and it is often the case
that physicians treat dyspepsia, which
ds really the expression or indication of
IAN oyerworried brain, as though the
stomach was diseased. The true
course is to use medicines that act di-
rectly upon the cerebrum. l have
found, he says, the most useful to be
bromide of ammonium, or bromide of
potassium preferably the former
given in sufficient dose at bedtime to
secure a good nights sleep; and, COM
bined with this. to be taken three or
four times during the day, such medi-
cines as are known to have building
up effect on the nervous system.
Among these, the most useful being
phosphorus. or the hypophosphites and
codliver oil. Arsenic and quinine are
often also useful, and a generous diet
is always indicated.

Fisk's Famous Diamonds.

The Boston T'rGceller is authority
for this story touching the famous
diamond which once did duty as bea-
con in the immaculate and expansive
shirt bosom of the late Jim Fisk: Just
before the panic Of 1873 certain friends
of Fisk subscribed $1,000 each to the
amount of $4,000, and purchased a
diamond, which was then in the rough
state, and after it had been carefully
cut by German diamond cutters, it was
presented to the redoubtable colonel of
the Ninth regiment, N. Y. S. M.
When cut the stone weighed fifteen
carats. After Fisk's death his widow
had the stone reset in a mourning ring
Adversely followed, and she was COM
PEELED to part with it. In due course
of time it came into the possession of
DR.. George H. Bailey, of this city.
About year ago, at the Quincy house
DIR. Bailey met with the father of Fisk,
who Immediately identified the stone
as that which had obtained a celebrity
in connection with his son, and an
affecting scene ensued when the old
gentleman once more took in his hand
the gem which had been worn by his
on. Shortly after the Equine Para
dox began its engagement at the Wind
sor theatre, Mr.. Frank D. Mcclure, of
Denver, Col, one of the proprietors of
that exhibition, began negotiations
with DR.. Bailey, which resulted in the
sale to Mcclure of this famous soli-
taire. If the stone is not as cele-
brated as the Koh-i-noor, the Great
Mogul, the Regent, or the other his
torical diamonds, it nevertheless has
its own story, and is certainly one of
the finest stones in the country, being
noted for its perfect clearness. with
the exception of one black spot, which
resembles tiny fly, the wings SEEM
ing to be very clearly indicated.

Dormant Brain and Muscle.

The attic of the treasury, series of
rooms, halls and corridors, is seldom
seen by any one except the government
officials, says Washington correspond
ent. Yet it is the most interesting
part of the building. The space covered
is full square, and this is cut up into
two rooms, most of which are filed
with records and documents. All Of
these papers relating to the depart
ment in the past ninety years are here
carefully kept, and walked, it seemed
to me, miles in going down one aisle
and up another, between cases of pa
pers tied up in bundles and reaching
to the roof. Thousands Of blank books.
millions of reports and millions of ac-
counts, showing the labors of thou
sands year after year since the govern
ment was founded, rose on every side
of me.
As / looked at the tons of careful
writing, could not help thinking of
the brain and muscle represented by
them. Here is enough writing,
should judge, to carpet the State Of
Ohio. Much Of it is figures. Every
line Of those millions upon millions
Of papers consumed certain amount
Of muscle in its writing. These pa
pers represent the life and works Of an
army now dead. They are the muscles
of the past shelyed for the ages Of the
future.

An accelerating gun, the invention
Of J. H. Stewart, Of San Francisco, is
attracting large amount Of attention
from military men in the West. The
invention, or new method of applying
force, consists of a newly-devised
breech constructed upon philosoph-
ical principle, and which admits of a
powerful accelerating force being ap-
piled to the projectile before it leaves
the mouth Of the gun. The results
thus far obtained by crude expert
ments are really astonishing, as the
appended summary Of its workings
show. The small gun-length. %

The projectile at the same time passed
through three inches Of wood placed
behind the target. The iron of target

gave equally as fine results. The
principle of construction is simple, and
is applicable to muzzle-loading as well
as breech-loading guns. They can be
loaded, discharged and cleaned as
quickly as other guns the cost of
manufacture only trife greater.
This gun in construction is Just as
simple as any other gun ever manu-
factured

The Bad Boy.

well, how's your theatre? Have
any Of the great actors supported you
lately?" said the grocery man to the
bad boy.
"No, we are all off on vacations.
Booth and Barrett, and lots Of the stars,
are gone to Europe, and the rest work
down to less high-toned places. Some
Of the theater girls are walters at sum
mer resorts, and lots are visiting rela-
tives on the farms. I tell you it makes
a difference whether the relatives are
visiting you or you are visiting them.
Actors and actresses feel awfully when
an old granger comes to the town
where they are playing, and wants to
see them. They are ashamed of his
homespun clothes and cowhide boots,
and they want to meet him out in an
alley somewhere, or In the basement
of the theater, so the other actors will
not laugh at their rough relatives, but
when the season is over, an actor who
can remember relative out on farm
is tickled to death, and the granger is
all right enough there, and the actor
does not think of the rough, nutmeg
crater hands, and the blistered nose,
as long as the granger relative will
put up fried pork and things, and
support the actor. My Uncle Ezra
is pretty rough, and it makes me tired
sometimes when am downtown with
him to have him 90 into a store where
there are girl clerks and ask what
things are for, that I know he don't
want, and make the girls blush, but
he is a good-hearted old man, and he
and me are going to make mint of
money during vacation. Helives near
a summer resort hotel, and has
stream that is full Of minnows. and
we are going to catch minnows and
sell them to the dudes for fish bait.
He says some Of the fools will pay ten
cents apiece for minnows, so if we
sell million minnows we make a for
tune. | am coming back in Septem-
ber and viii buy out your grocery.
Say, let me have pound of raisins
and III pay you when L sell my uncle's
minnows. Perks Sun.

A Hundred Years Hence.

Some people often wish that they
were dead, and If this involved their
living by-and-bye instead Of now, how
many will wish it on reading the
prophecy of the Rev. Mr.. Fincke, an
English clergyman who Travelled much
in America ten years ago. He now
ventures to tell what he thinks is the
future Englishry," by which hemeans
the English-speaking people on the
globe, a century hence. He calculates
that by that time there will be one
thousand millions Of them living under
the same institutions and cherishing
the same ideas social and political, in
the United States, Canada, Australia,
South Africa and Great Britain. The
8O0,000,0O0 which he assigns to the
United States will overflow Canada,
into Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia,
Bolivia and Peru, afterward into the
valley Of the Amazon, and the whole
range of the Andes, into the islands of
the Pacific, across which they will join
hands with their kindred in New Zea-
land and Australia The English set
Elements in South Africa, now essen
TALLY American, VIII spread over
Southern Africa, pushing the natives
to the equator. The American farmer
is to furnish the type of this new
society. There will be no savages or
serfs, few drones or men Of luxury; all
will be able to read and to write and
to use their requirements. They will
have homes of their own and property
enough of the very best and most edu-
cative kind-that is in land-to yield
to their intelligent industry sufficient
means Of support. They will have no
social or political superiors, and will
manage their own affairs. There will
be few or none looking forward to
pauper's fate. The living Of the ma
jority will be spent in the cultivation
of their own land on the same terms
which the American farmer now cul-
tivates his. Morality will in this
society have a tremendous force, be-
cause as there will be only one morality
for all, and not as now a separate
morality for each class, it will be sup
ported by the opinion Of all. Women
will play larger part in the work Of
society than they have ever done. No
pursuits will be favored by endow-
ments or bounties. The competition
between nations will be intellectual,
not military competition. Oratory,
painting, sculpture and architecture
will grow under it as it never grew
before. Money will be in greater use
and the precious metals have higher
value than ever. Religion will have
as strong hold as ever on the human
heart. At the head Of this mighty
community the United States will
stand morally though not politically.
The President Of the United States
will be its foremost man, and "the
predominant power will be the press.

Laws of Digestion.

l. Food for the supply of the daily
wants of the system is most rapidly
and thoroughly digested when taken
early in the day, ere the nervous and
secretive forces are exhausted by toll.
2. Rapid digestion in the early part
IF the day contributes to the imme-
diate demands of motion and enerva-
tion.
8. Food for the repair of the con-
tinuous wear and tear of the tissue is
in less immediate request the COM
pleteness of its solution is of more
Importance than the rapidity, and it is
best taken toward the evening, when
an opportunity is afforded for its
leisurely absorption during sleep.
4. The duration of digestion bears
proportion to the quantity of food
eaten.
S. In youth the digestion is quicker,
and the stomach sooner emptied than
in grown-up persons.
6. Rest before meals makes digestion
more complete. Exertion Immediately
before meals retards digestion and
exertion Immediately afuerward de-
ranges it.
z. Sleep retards digestion, but makes
it more complete.
s. Alcohol retards digestion and rem
ders it also incomplete.
9. Earnest preoccupation of mind
retards digestion, and may even quite
annul it.
10. Water weakens digestion and
encourages the absorption of fatty and
saccharine matter but its effect on the
comNete solution of albumen is doubt
ful.-Housekeeper.

"There are exceptions" murmured
the Rehoboam. 1t was his little bit of
revenge, and he enjoyed it. "Smally

Mrs. Fenno uttered another shrek,

Gambling in LeadyiIIe.

A letter from Leadville, Col, says:
The gambling business is as openly
conducted as the dry goods stores-in
fact. more so, since the stores do close
up once in while, which is more than
can be said of the "tiger dens" The
principal business is carried on in
twelve or fifteen places, all run in con-
nection with saloons. Most of the
tables are on the first floor, and in
several saloons operations can be plain
ly seen from the street. Some few
have an upstairs apartment, a little
more exclusive and more handsomely
furnished, which it seems to be the
fashion to call " reading-rooms." Faro,
roulette and poker are the most popu-
lar games, and everybody plays, from
the small boy who makes bets Of a
quarter each, to the man who has
struck it rich" and lays down a pile,
OF twenty-dollar gold pieces on the ace.
The element Of risk and uncertainty in
mining operations-in which every
body out here is in some way interested
seems to stimulate this feverish anx-
iety to take chance in something,
and the gambling table affords the
same kind of excitement to be found in
the occupation of the prospector and
the miner. To the man who is poverty
stricken to-day and possibly a wealthy
man next week any ordinary amuse-
ment is entirely too tame. Then there
are men here who have made fortunes
at gambling, but they are the dealers.
The players themselves almost invari-
ably lose more than they win. One of
the institutions Of the town is "Pap"
Wyman's place. "Pap" is burly,
bullet-headed saloon keeper who would
evidently enjoy the reputation of being
the worst man in Leadville He will
have to work hard to get it. He owns
one of the largest saloons and gambling
dens in the place, and he has his win
dows stained and painted with Bibili-
cal scenes to look like church. In
sidehe has large open Bible in prom
inent place on a stand, and the glass
cases of the clock bears the injunction
in large letters: "Please do not swear"

where FIower odors Come from.

The odor of flowers sometimes comes
from the petals, as, for instance, from
the petals of the rose. The petals or
floral leaves Of the rose give out an
odor long after they have been gath
cred. This is not the case with most
flowers. A recent writer has called
attention to the fact that the sweetest
carnation is odorless soon after it is
cut, as are most of the sweet flowers
used in cut flower work. The migno-
nette and heliotrope were supposed to
be exceptions, but as these continue to
open new flowers when cut and placed
in water, 1t Is probable the odor comes
only from the opening blossoms.

MilIemaine.

Millemaine is the name given to a
new cereal which has been introduced
in South Carolina 1t is found in
Columbia, South America, and fur
nishes the main food of the people
there. 1t also makes good fodder for
stock. The cakes made from it are de-
scribed az better than corn cakes. A
Savannah guano company's chemist
pronounces it superior in feed quail
ties to wheat. 1t has been grown ex-
perimentally in South Carolina for sew
eral years, producing at the rate Of
from sixty to 1e0 bushels per acre. The
Rev. HI. H. Pratt, the missionary who
brought the plant from South America,
gives the particulars: "The plant is
allied to the sorghum and Guinea corn
families, and should not be planted
where there is any danger Of mixing
them. The grain is smaller and more
meally than the Guinea corn, the heads
are larger and more compact, and the
color is milk white instead Of red. 1t
differs from the sorghum in this, that
the sugar 1t contains is fully converted
into corn when the grain matures--so
that the pith Of the green stalks be-
comes as dry and tasteless as that Of
Indian corn when the stalk is dead.
In Baranquilla. on the coast, where we
have dry season which is (really

uance, have had it planted in my

roots, in themidst Of this dry season,
and had a second crop, ofinferior quail
ty, Of course, to shoot up at once from
the roots. I have been told that
third crop Of fully ripened seed can
thus be made from single plant. I
do not know what this can imply (for
thesoil at this season gets as dry as /
potsherd and nearly as hardy, unless
means that above most other plants IL

certainly, is denseIy charged with moist
ure from the sea- It was this unlim-
tied capacity to stand drought which
induced me to bring the seed home, in
