1.-The local paper says Whitelaw
Reid, lis the best paper in the world.
All the city papers cannot supply the
place of the home paper. No other
contains the marriages and deaths, to
say nothing of divorces and births.
No other paper gives the time for the
next ball, picnic or political meeting;
no other publishes the roll of honor
of the public school; no other discuss
es the affairs of the town and county
or gives in detail the local news, which
can be obtained from no other source
Every body reads it, and this is why
the local paper is the best read in the
world, and the best advertising med
ium for it's circulation extant.

A Helm to Good Digestion.

In the British Medical Journal DR.. W.:
Roberts, of England discusses the effect OF
liquors, tea, coffee, and cocoa on Digestion
All of them retard the chemical processes,
but most of them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions DIS
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptlc
digestion but slightly when sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highly injurious
TO salivary digestion. On peptic digestion
all wines exert retarding influence. They
stimulate the glandular and muscular &C
tivity of the stomach. Effervescent wines
exert the greatest amount of good with the
least harm to digestion. When ones diges-
ton is out of order everything goes awry,
unless, as in the case of T. T. Seals, oil
Bellaire, Ohio, who had bad dyspepsia Tor
sex en- years, the digestivea apparatus is kept
in apple-pie eating order by Warmers Tip
pecanoe, the best appetite producer and
regulator in the world
Tea, even in minute quantities, complete
~ paralyzes the action of the saliva. The
tannin in strong tea is injurious. Weak
tea should be used, if at all. Strong coffee
and cocoa are also injurious if used in ex-
cess.-The Cosmopolitan.

Curious, If True.
from the Calais (Me.) Courier. I

From the Calais (Me) Courier.l
A circumstance which is certainly
worthy of note took place at a gentle
mans club.room of this city q few
evenings ago. Four members of the
club, whose names we could mention
if necessary, and whose reliability no
one would question for q moment,
sat down to play a social game of
whist. A thorough deal of the cards
was made by one of the number, and
the usual cut madefor deal. The deal
fell to another member of the COM
pany. He dealt the cards and the cut
for trumps was made and the cards
given around to the four players.
When this was done one of the party
laid down his hand, expressing great
surprise on finding he had 13 cards of
one kind namely, spades; a second
party laid down his hand with TIE
same surprise, he also having 13 of a
kind, and the third and fourth men
now placed their cards upon the table,
revealing the same kind of hands.
One of the gentlemen belongs to St.
Stephen, and he held all the trumps.

Holding the Breath.

from the Herald OF Health.
Deep breathing and holding the
breath is an item of importance.
Persons of weak vitality find an unin-
terrupted succession of deep and rap
id respirations SO distressing that they
are discouraged from persevering in
the exercise. Let such persons take
into the lungs as much air as they can
at breath, and hold it as long as they
can, they will find a grateful sense OF
relief in the whole abdominal region,
Practice will increase the ability to
hold the breath, and the capacity Of
the lungs. After time the art may be
learned of packing the lungs. This
is done by taking and holding the long
breath and then forcing more air
down the trachea by swallows OF air.
The operation may be described by
that Of fish's mouth in water. TO
those who have never learned it it will
be surprising to what an extent the
lungs may be packed. Caution at
first is needful, but later practice will
warrant large use of the treatment.
The whole thorax and abdominal cav
tiles will receive immediate benefit,
and ct ntinuance, with temperance in
eating and good air and right exercise,
will bring welcome Improvement.

Hardness of Winter Wheat.

\ surprisingf fact, considering all that
it has to endure III our climate, is that
so a large a proportion of wheat plants
live through the winter Freezing does
not destroy them, and the plants, if
we'll rooted, will endure q great
amount of freezing and thawing. Too
much wet while it is growing, if the
land is not underdrained, is the worst
thing that can happen to it. but it will
not be injured by ponds of water
standing over it for several days, pro-
viding underdrains beneath are carry
ing the water off and maintaining a
circulation. In running water there
is possibly some means of making the
air it contains of some advantage to
the plants, and there is at least the
sediment it leaves as it filters through
the soil to the drains. We have found
oats and barley much more easily in
jured by standing water in the spring
than winter wheat. One reason for
this probably is that on the spring
crop the soil has been recently culti-
waited, Sc that when saturated by
water it runs into muddy mass, and
where the soil is somewhat heavy it
hardens almost like brick when dry
ing. On the winter grain the soil is
harder, does not run together so badly
when flowed, and is in much better
shape when it dries again.
