Twists and TWinges.

s'My brethren" shonted DR.. Talmage one bright
autumnsl Sunday, ''here is lesson from the corn
field God has arranged that the ear and the husk
shall be parted. Every rheumatic pain is but a
thrust of the husking-peg, and every neuralgie
twinge is only twist Of the husker.''
Possibly; but nobody wants to be husked for
all that and nature teaches US to resist the pro-
cess. Therefore, we accept with gratitude what
ever helps us to suppress those very twists and
twinges.

Messrs. Hiseox & Co., call especial attention to
the fact thar this preparation which has been
known as PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will hereafter
be advertised and sold simply under the name OF
FAHkER's Tonic. AS unpTincpaled dealers are
constantly deceiying their customers by substitut

MADRrD, Oct. 2.-The correspondent
of the Times says: THE hostile reception
aecorled to Alfonso in Paris has consider
ably increased his prestige at home. His
personal courage and discretion, his
dignified bearing during his progress
through the streets Of Paris, and his visit
to President Crews residence at the
Elysee, without an escort, are subjects of
general eulogium and of admiration of the
Spaniards.
The citizens are highly incensed over
the insults offered to Alfonso in Paris.
Bands of people paraded the streets yes
terday evening and insulted Frenchmen,
and openly threatened the French En-
bassy. The police prevented any violence
Senior Monel, at meeting of the Demo
| cratic Club, declared that insults were
| offered to King Alfonso and that the
whole Spanish nation would stand by the
| King. His utterances were received with

our Carpet Department, for
several reasons first, the room
is large, which is very necessary
50 that we can match carpets
on the floor, that customers can
see how they look before pur-
chasing; and second, the floor
can always be kept clean and
the carpets not become soiled

Lengthening Short Women.

The London World tells of new
sontrivanoe for making ladies taller.
The woman who is to undergo the pro.
cess is encased in a very tight corset,
and her feet are placed in shoes weighted
with so pounds Of lead each. She is
then placed in q machine consisting of a
ring, which encireles her waist, aud is
suspended from the ceiling at such a
height as to prevent her feet from
touching the ground. The pressure of
the corset forces the upper part of
her body upward, and the weight of
the shoes stretches her from the waist
downward. 1t is estimated that the ex-
treme length to which the spine can be
stretched by the process thus described
is two inches, and that the knee and hip
joints can be stretched an inch and a
half more. Thus three inches and q
half can be added to the height of al
most any woman who has the courage
to undergo the trouble and pain neces-
sarily connected with stretching pro.
cess lasting, with brief intervals during
Eve or six months,
