A homeopathic Remedy for Obesity.


A man of science, who lives in Detroit Mich,
has just made discovery that cannot fail to be
interesting to every woman, the graceful round
ness of whose figure bids fair to be hidden in
masses of flesh. 1t is discovery that, if the
prescription is carefully followed not only keeps
people from growing fat, but reduces their size,
and without one bit of medicine. 1t is an anti
fat remedy, absolutely sure in its results. Not
only are no drugs used, but no abnormal amount
-of exercise is required. Nothing new even need
be added to the diet-for most people at least
If your curiosity is now enough aroused in re-
gard to this marvellous invention, which is to do
away with the Banting system forever to make
you really miserable at the fear of not hearing
the receipt after all-you may have it Here
ii is:
Eat the fat of meat.
Could anything be more simpleP The ply
stefan who has made the discovery gives this ex-
PLANTATION of the theory. which is within the COM
prehenson of the medium intellect-what his
scientific description of it would be- none but
doctor can tell. There is something in the fatof
animals which in digesting absorbs tho part of
the food which would otherwise form layers Of
fat Other greases will not at all take the place.
For instance, one might take any amount Of
olive oil without being in the least benefited by
it. There is another class of women to whom
this discovery should be useful--those who are
too thin, and who have. very possibly. been eat
ing fat with an idea that it might fatten them.

SLY OLD SITTING BULL.
A Man Who Thinks His Proposed Tour Will
Only Result in Harm.

Chicago News.
Captain Charles Collins, well known for his
philanthropic efforts in civilizing the Indians

commissioners in many matters relating to the
welfare of the red men, declared to reporter
yesterday that the proposed exhibition OF Sitting

he finally agreed to surrender and liveon reser

came into camp with about go old warriors and

or more of these warriors still at large scattered
about on the plains among the different tribes
Some joined the Brules, Blackfeet and Crow

themselves When Sitting Bull surrendered he
did not turn over a solitary rifle or weapon of
war that was worth anything He cached 1000
stands of arms that cannot be found unless he
points them out. Yet a great show Of rejoicing
was made over his so-called surrender-a sur
render in name not in fact. Congress apprecia-

settle down. This is shown by the appropriation
OF $4,000 for the express purpose OF inducing
him to bring in his young men and give
up the arms which he has stored away. Offers

There is NO unbelief;

And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
Whoever says when clouds are in tie sky,
BE patient, heart; light breaketh by and by"
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees meath winters field of snow
The silent harvest of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever liessdown on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says .'To-norrow" 1.-THE unknown.
1.-THE future, trusts the Power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when eyelids close,
And dares to live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
And day by day, and night. unconsciously.
The heart that lives by that faith, the lips deny,
God knoweth why.

is not unnatural that Republicans should try

What the Democracy has need of is that the
this country should he free from the rascality
OF Republican domination aud that the re-

the party that has SO long, and OF late, so

The main thing to do is to elect u man who

to make this government free and honest

be an opportunity to establish free Govern
