RUNNING DOWN A "MASHER.''

He was a pretty fair specimen of the E"masher" = the eminently respectable "masher' ''-and he had strolled over from Asbury Park to sit in the sand and see the girls bathe. His glossy silk hat was not smoother than the smile he smiled at 8 party of four or five that were standing near him, in skirts that didn't quite reach the knees, bare arms and streaming hair. The girls didn't see him, possibly because his one eye glass was so big that they couldn't see aroundit He tried again, R dim, religious smiie that he thought might suit Ocean Grove. This time he seemed to have struck something-two of them turned their backs on him. He quit smil- ing and took little stroll around to the other side, sitting down again by the side of hole the children had been digging in the sand Then he smiled some more, a whole broad-side of smiles. The girls be- gan to, smile, too; they did more, they laughed outright. "All right, let's; but wait till he says something,' the young chap overheard. He promptly started to say something: "Oh, say, gyrul-' The whole group of girls started on run toward the water A beautiful blondes knee smashed the young mans hat solidly over his face.

A couple of angelic auburn haired feet kicked heap of sand on top of him.

At Piffard, in the Genesee valley, New York, mine of rock-salt has been reached at depth of 995 feet below the surface. This is said to be the first bed of rock-salt ever found in this country by mining. The country in the vicinity has long been noted for it's salt wells. Two years ago two gentlemen from New York city, who knew something of the method of mining salt in Austria began prospecting in the Warsaw and Genesee valleys, and finally decided to sink shaft on farm in Piff- ard. The work has proceeded night and day, three relays of hands working eight hours each, and on Thursday the bed of rock-salt wss reached and some very satis- factory samples were taken out. The pre- liminary wells which have been sunk show that under this first bed, and separated from it by few feet of shale, is second bed 58 feet in thickness. The mine is owned by the Empire Salt company, of New York, with capital of $500, ,0OO. Scotts Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, as Remedy for Con- sumption. Dr. H. J.

A smooth complexion can be had by every lady who will use Parker's Tonic. For promptly regulating the liver and kidneys and purifying the blood, there is nothing like it, and this is thereason why it so quickly re- moves pimples and gives rosy bloom to the cheeks.
 A four-year-old girl, living in Connect icut town, was thought by her mother not to observe proper degree of reverence while saying her evening prayer, and she was commanded to discontinue them until she could promise to do better. A few days later she was permitted to resume her prayer, and finishing, her mother com plimented her upon the improvement, when she blandly responded: "Now, to- morrow morning I'm going out to tell God I said my prayer real good and then I'll bet he'll say, Now Lelia-you're yarnln' it."

Grants PecuIIarIt,es,

In battle or in command he wore Q blue blouse and no sword, plain slouch hat, dark trousers, and top boots. Even his horse equipments did not indicate his rank. When he went to Europe in 1878 he was com pelled to buy new uniform, as his old one was worn out. He bought but three while general of the army. At table he ate but little, and that ot the plainest, and in the latter years oi. his life used no wine As an escort for ladies, the assurance of one of the brightest and most lovely women who has graced Washington social life, that "General Grant was the most accepta- ble of all the escorts she had ever had at dinner" is warrant enough for the statement that he was gentleman in social life and at the table. He was entirely moral man, never using profane language, and had a contempt for vice and immoral men. He was fond of children and they of him-be- cause of positive evidences of beneyo- lence of both head and heart. He stood fatigue readily, and could go without food or sleep for a long time On horseback he sat easily and rode with grace-as West Point men usual IIy do. He had keen memory fol those who abused him, either by speech or in the press, and never for got them. He hated and liked with manly vigor. He had ono old-timt virtue. fast becoming obsolete, devel oped in the highest-he liked hi' friends and would stand by them Philadelphia Press.

The Craut Famlly.

Gen. Grant was lineal descendant of Matthew Grant, who emlgrated from Devon. England. to Dorchester, Mass, in 1880, and removed therefrom in 1885 to Windsor. Connecticut, where he became town clerk and chief surveyor. One of the descendants, Noah Grant, was captain of a Connec- ticut military company sent against Crown Point in 1755, and was killed in action at the battle of Lake George
 A second Noah Grant, grandfather of General Grant. served during the revolution and afterwards removed to Westmoreland county, Pa, where Jesse Root Grant was born. The faml- ly moved to Ohio in 1799 At that time schools were almost entirely un- known in that country. and the only education Jesse Root Grant obtained was derived from few months schooling when he was about fifteen years of age. His father, although tolerably well educated himself. took little interest in instructing his chil- dren, and the family could not well af- ford to seek abroad for the advantages which they lacked at home. Young Grant had a matter-of-fact turn of mind, and seeing that he was destined to obtain his living by the sweat oi his brow, he cast about for some re muneratiYe employment He fnall, selected the tannery business. IT 1920 he removed to Point Pleasant, { small village % miles from Cincinnati Here he became acquainted with hi future wife This lady, Miss Hannal Simpson, vas born in November, 179s in Montgomery county.

New Theories About Eating.

Dr. R. M. Hodges, once read paper before the Boston Society for Medical Improvement, in. which he touched on this question upon which doctors disa- pression that to take food immediately before going to bed and to sleep is un- wise. Such suggestion is answered by reminder that the instinct of ami mals prompts them to sleep as soon as they have eaten; and in summer an after-dinner nap, especially when that meal Is taken at midday, is luxury indulged in by many. If the ordinary hour of the evening meal is six or seven o'clock, and of the first morning meal 2 or 8 o'clock, an interval of
 elve hours, or more, elapses with out food, and for persons whose nutri- tion is at fault this is altogether too long period of fasting. That such an interval without food is permitted explains many 8 restless night, and much of the head and backache, and the languid, half-rested condition on rising. which is accompanied by nc appetite for breakfast. This meal it. self often dissipates these sensations It is, therfore, desirable, if not essen. tial, when nutriment is to be crowded that the last thing before going to bed should be the taking of food. Sleep, lessness is often caused by starvation and t1mbler of milk, if drunk in tht middle of the night, will often put people to sleep when hypnotics would fail of their purpose. Food before ris ing is equally important and expedient It supplies strength for bathing anC dressing, laborious and wearisomi tasks for the underfed, and is a bette morning 'pick-me-up' than an. 'tonic.'"
