IN the stomach. 1t further says;
Water should be drank cool but not
iced, with the addition of quarter or
half lemon in it. Mineral water
should also be drank with a dash
of lemon. Water should always be
swallowed slowly. 1t is not the
stomache which is dry, but the

drink of water you throw it through
your mouth and throat into your
stomache without doing the former
any good while you injure the latter
by loading it with what it does not
require. Drink slowly and keep; the
water in your mouth for moment
when you begin. If you work in a
hot room in hot weather, tie a damp.

will not experience half the cravings

An American Marriage.

Among the various trltcs oil ASIA
none are so rich or we'll dressed as the
Armenians. says the Glasgow UerG a.
To them belongs chiefly the merchan-
disc of precious stones, which they cx-
port to Constantinople. The Armenian
GIRL whose marriage is to De described.
had delicate flowers OF cc:estial blue
painted all over her meek and breast;
her eyebrows were dyed black, and tho
tips OF her fingers and nails OF bright
orange. She wore on each hand yalu-
able rings set with precious stones,
and round her neck string of very
fine iurquoises; her skirt was one OF
the finest spun silk, her jacket and
trousers OF cashmere of n bright color.
The priest and his deacon arrived, the
latter bringing bag containing the
sacerdotal garments, III which the
priest arrayed himself, placing a miter
ornamented with precious stones on
his head, and collar of metal, on
which the twelve apostles were repre-
sented in bas-relicf, round his neck.
He began by blessing sort OF tenn
porary altar in the middle of the room;
the mother of the bride took her by the
hand, and, leading her forward, she
bowed at the feet of her future hus-
band to show that she acknowledged
him as lord and master. The priest,
placing their hands in each other, pro-
nounced q prayer and then drew their
heads together until they touched three
times, while with his right hand he
made a motion as if blessing them. A
second time their hands were joined,
and the backgrounds asked: wv IL
YOU be her husbandP" 81 will" be
answered, raising at the same time the
veil of the bride, in token that she was
now his, and letting it fall again. The
priest then took two wreaths OF flow
ers, ornamented. with a quantity O
hanging gold threads, from the hands
of the deacon, put them on the heads
of the married couple, changing then
three times from one head TO the other
repeating each time. 81 unite You ane

ALiberty-Loving Italian.

Ceracchi was an Italian sculptor,
who came to the United States to per-
petuate the likeness of our Revolution
ary chiefs and sages, and thus to iden-
tify his own name with the infant re-
public. His busts of Washington, Jay,
Alexander Hamilton, George Clinton.
and others, are now, as mere portraits,
above all price to this nation, and they
have besides a classic grace about them
which entities the artist to no con-
tcmptible rank as a statuary. He had
grand design of q national monument
which he used to show to his visitors,
and which he wished congress to en-
ploy him to execute i'll marble or
bronze. OF course they did not do so,
and, as it happened, .he was much
more uscfully employed for the nation
in modelling the busts of our great
men. But the nation was not ripe for
statuary-a dozen busts exhausted the
patronage of the country-and con-
gress was too busy with. dollars and
cents, fixing the revenue laws and
funding the debt, to think of his grand
allegorical monument. Ceracchi could
not live upon liberty alone, much as he
loved it, and when the French revolu-
ton took a very decided character he
went to France and plunged into poll
tics. Some years after he returned to
Rome, where he was unfortunately
killed in an insurrection or popular
tumult, growing out of the universal
revolutionary spirit of those times

Good Advice to Country Boys.

Every man who lives in New York
and has acduaintances in the rural dis
tricts knows that the majority of coun-
try boys and young men think that the
golden opportunity of life is n chance
to enter business in a large city. 1t is
also fact that country boys who come
to the city are reasonably sure to wear
away the best years of their lives be-
fore they realize that they would have
succeeded better had they remained at
home. Tie following bit of advice,
which the Nashville AmerIc0n offers, is
worth preserving for use in cases OF
special application:
Intelligent boys in the country,
however poor. should take comfort.
Let them consider their present hard
ships as gymnasium for the develop
ment of their many qualities of mind
and body. Let them practice industry
and honesty, acquire knowledge, culti-
vate decision of character, suffer pa
tiently and endure cheerfully priva-
tions and self-denial, labor with sim
gleness of purpose and strengthen their
characters by winning success in every
undertaking, however small. Let them
cultivate habits of thrift, economy and
persistency, and their time of influence
and power will come-come as surely
as effects follow cause, as wealth fol-
lows prudence and industry, IS intelli-
gence follows inquiry, as light follows
darkness. "-Nea0 York Herald.

"I'ye turned that hired man off,"
said Dakota farmer to his wife on
coming into the house, che was no
good"
..What was the matter-he looked
like q smart feller?n
.'Oh, he was smart 'nough s'pose,
but he didn't know nothin' bout
farmin'. The blam' d fool didn't know
'nough to water the horses. l told
him to go out and clean up some seed
wheat and I'm darned if he didn't
ask me where the soap was"

the poor feller-'pears 'sif he couldn't
get his livin' on farm nohow.n
Oh, don't you worry bout him, Sa-

then go and start an agricultural paper

Alaskan Glaciers.

James Denman, principal of the
grammar school which bears his name,
returned Tuesday from months ex-
cursion among the romantic islands
and picturesque inlets of Alaska. Mr..
Denman devoted much of his attention
to the glaciers, compared with which
he pronounces those to be seen in
Switzerland and other parts of Europe
to be ''babies." Muir glacier, in Gla-
cier bay, named from the distinguished
naturalist, is spectacle whose gran
deur cannot be dcscribcd-a vast froz-
en- river of ice, ever slowly moving to
the sea and piling the enormous mass
es higher between the mountain banks
until their summit towers hundreds of
feet in the air. Where the point of the
glacier pushes out into and overhangs
the water. vast fragments breaking
apart every few moments of their own
weight and falling with laundering
crash into the sea, to float away as
enormous icebergs, it affords specta-
Gle which can only be understood and
appreciated. by one who beholds it with
his own eyes. From the summit of
Muir glacier no less than twenty mine
others are to be seen in various direc-
tions. all grinding and crowding their
huge masses toward the sea, a. sight
which must certainly be one which few
other scenes can equal. .-SGn Francis
co Call.

A few days since q farmer living in
the southern part Of Douglas county,
Kan. c,..sIe Into Lawrence with the re-
port that he had discovered a cave on
his farm that was inhabited by prairie
wolves, and from what he could
find out they amounted about 800.
He had killed u few, but they would
not come out, and he was afraid to
enter the cave. Preparations were at
once made to raid the den. The par
ty arrived at the place, and turning
the dogs loose one or two of them
rushed into the caye and were at once
torn to pieces. The wolves by this
time were alarmed, and such howl
ing as was kept up was never heard
before. The farmer stated that he
knew a place about 200 yards back
from the entrance where in a short
time a hole could be dug and the an
imals driven out in this way. A
grand hunt by the farmers was inaug'
urated and oyer one hundred of the
"varmints" killed.

The Confederate Capital.

Contrary to the common belief, there
was no lack of provisions or delicacies
in Richmond at any time during the
war, but the prices measured by al
legged dollars were simply stupendous.
I do not remember that there was any
actual suffering among the people, al
though food and drink were of course
economically dealt with. / recollect
also that there was bread riot of so
large proportions as to call for the in
tervention of the military, but the wo-
men, black and white, who were the
chief participants, were of the lowest
class, and were instigated not by want
so much as pure deYiltry.
1t is curious fact that what are call
ed the lower classes Jared better, as far
as provisions were concerned, than the
.officeholders or wealthier citizens. The
salaries of the office holders, both con-
federate and state, were grossly made
quate to provide for their families, and
the wealthier citizens at the outset of
the war had invested, almost without
exception, all their available means in
the per cent bonds of the confederate
government Those who owned slaves,
by hiring them out obtained large re-
turns, for labor was in great demand;
but the trouble was that the confeder-
ate authorities conscripted all able
bodied negroes as drivers OF mule
teams, laborers on the Notifications,
ETC., just as they conscripted able-bod-
led whites for service in the field, and
the hire given to the masters was but a
1.-THE of what could have been procured
in open market. -
Talk about Washington being city
of boarding-houses and restaurants,
why it was not a circumstance to the
confederate capital. Nearly every
house, and especially of limited means,
was filled with dodgers, and nearly
every other house was an eating-hou
The poorer whites and blacks made
money hand over fist by cooking pro-
visions and selling them from stands
on the streets and at the depots to the
huge swarms of hungry people who
were constantly coming and going.
The population proper of Richmond
was not fourth of the vast crowd
that daily and nightly congre-
gated within its corporate limits. It
was Ln0 HlotCd OI LHc COnleueraCY, anu
the pilgrimages made thereto were.
constant in their coming. Officers and
soldiers, Jewish merchants, sex
empts," blockade-runners, refugees
from Maryland and West Virginia and
from counties of the State held by the
federals poured in steady stream into
the lap of the city, and the people of
the city made their living, and, indeed,
it may bc said in many Instances wax
ed fat, in feeding and lodging the hum
CRY horde.
The home guards, organized to de-
fend the capital, comprised all the
officials in the confederate and state
departments, and no man was exempt
who was able to fire rifle from be-
hind breastwork. These held no
drills, but marched in body, with
regular order, to the breastworks when
the alarm bell in the capitol square
rang forth the warning peal of the
approach Of the enemy - SO many
strokes, think. Murray IN Washing

For the first time in the history of
Minnesota complete report has been
secured from all the counties OF the
state of the criminal cases prosecuted.
The report covers a period of thirteen
and one-half months from November
Is, 1884, to January l, 1886. The larg-
est number of cases was in Hennepin
county, the number being l97. Ram
sey county ranked second, with lS6
cases; Winona county third, with 81
eases, and Dakota next with 81 cases.
Grom this the number ranged down
to Pine county, which only had one
ease. The best showing was made by
Olmstead county, twelve cases, out OF
which there were ten convictions, one
aequittal and one case pending.

FARM NOTES.

A heifer calf intended for COW,
says the National Stockman, should
be trained from birth with this end
in view and be made gentle and tract
able by sufficient handling. 1t should
be taught to lead, to stand tied, and
allow anyone to approach and handle
it at pleasure. - calf treated in this
way will make gentle and valuable
COW, and one which will not kick over
the milk pail about the time it is filled
with rich milk. Such attention to
the training of the young heifers will
pay especially if they are intended for
family cows.

An exchange says: AT no season
of the year does stock require more
liberal and judicious care than from
now on until grass reaches sufficient
age to afford nourishment. Whether
it be a growing animal, a COW in milk
or work team, it matters not, all
should be warmly housed, particular
ly OH stormy days, closely watched
to pote the first indication of loss of
appetite OF other indication of want
of vigor or indisposition, while the
supply of food should be liberal and
varied. The important point is to
carry the animals through to grass in
good health and hearts, with all their
functions active and yigorous,-an
easy thing to do if only proper care is
| exercised.
