OBITUARY.

Death has been among us. On the
3lst of July, Fred. Roberts. the younger
son of r. F. and M. A. Roberts, passed
to his rest. He went not by the path of
disease and slow decay, but from the full
vigor of this mortal life to the enjoyment
of the immortal life.
He was the first whom it was my
privilege as a pastor to take by the hand
and Welcome to the fellowship of the
church militant. He had experienced
that fellowship only two short weeks
when he passed to the company of the
church triumphant. Born in 1870, in
the old home about quarter of a mile
west of Woodwork station, he would
have completed his 18th year had he
lived to see the leaves turn golden with
the breath of October.
His departure leaves gap in the
ranks of our young people, and great
vacancy in the home which he has left.
Kind, gentle and thoughtful for the COM
fort of others, painstaking and thorough
in the discharge of all duties devolving
upon himself; in the house and else
where he was a youth well beloved.
With thirst for knowledge which led
him to make good use of his spare mo-
ments, and which would not permit him
to spend ten minutes in the company OF
any one without learning something, he
gave promise of useful life.
He had planned to begin in Septem-
Der course of study at the Oshkosh
Normal school. Instead, he has entered

through the slow process Of induction
fitting together the disjointed fragments
cleaned from experience and observa-
ton; but where, from a higher stand
point and with clearer vision, he views
the completed whole, and sees things as
they are. So through our sorrow there
runs note of JOY. The influence of his
brief life will not be lost. In the days
to come we shall feel that " He being
dead yet speaketh." D. NJ. OGILvIE,

BUTrERMILK AS A MEDICINE.

With the rapid growth of reconstruc-
tive medicine comes OPPORTUNITY the
reintroduction of old and we'll known
domestic remedies, among which butter
milk demands respectable place. A
young lady patient Of the writer's was
suffering from a severe consumptive
cough. None of the usual anti-spas-
modes, expectorants, etc., seemed to do
any good, simply because her stomach
was too weak to bear enough medicine
to effect the purpose. Finally suggest
ed to her mother the use of buttermilk.
1t was adopted at once. Her first
nights experience was one of compare
tive freedom from cough and pain, and
a pleasant slumber for several hours.
1t was continued for a long time with
an unvarying relief of all her distressing
symptoms and an almost perfect free
dom from cough for several hours after
each draught of the hot buttermilk.
Lingering at one time for weeks from
an attack of congestive fever, dosed with
calomel and quinine almost beyond en-
durance, the writer began to desire
buttermilk to drink. The physician
" didn't believe in humoring the whims
of patients, as he expressed it besides,
he contended that single drink of the
obnoxious fluid might produce death, as
acids and calomel were incompatible
jewellers in the same stomach. But I
was good persuader, and my mother
was susceptible subject. The butter
milk, " fresh from the churn," was pro-
cured and drank. No evil resulted :;
instead came perspiration and speedy
recovery. Many years afterward 1 had
missed my usual noon meal. 1t was
about 2 or 8 P. M.-dinner, of course,
Yves over-when Preached a farm house,
weak, tired, hungry, and call out of
condition" for active work. Dinner was
suggested by the house wife. "No, in
deedW said I, "not this time I am
nearly home. But if you have any
buttermilk, will take drink of that
to stay my stomach" A good, kind
hearted woman, she soon brought up a
pitcher of buttermilk from the cool
spring house, while I examined my
patients and prescribed for them. Per-
haps pint was drunk during the stay
of nearly an hour. For months in.
digestion had held his unfriendly grasp
on my stomach. From that notable day
forward his reign was broken my
stomach was healed, and I could ride
all day, if necessary, without feeling so
woe BECOME from the lack of food as
before drinking of the buttermilk.
There are people, however, who cannot
use buttermilk at all, and some who
cannot use milk of any kind, nor butter;
but to others it proves both food and
medicine.-Dr. Landry IN Popular Science

dered a decision directing that a per-
emptory writ of mandamus issue against
State Treasurer HI. B. Harshaw. COM
manding that he pay the sum of 81 sos

ing, deceased. In 1866 the Kenosha
county bank began business and de-
posted with the state bank comptroller

bank comptroller to pay Harding all the
funds or securities in his hands after all
the circulating notes had been cancelled.
The amount which remained after the
payment Of the notes was found to be
81 ,505. This, though proceedings
against the state have been pending for
several years, the, executor until the
present has been unable to recover.

THE DIET OF DIFFERENT
PEOpT,E

The vagaries of the appetite are be-
yond the explanatory science of physi-
ology. What we call tolerance in medi-
cine is in itself a mystery. We cannot
tell why this thing agrees with this in
dividual and at the same time utterly
destroys his brother. The trite old say
ing that one mans meat is another
mans poison must be accepted en-
pirically. Still less can we account for
the variations of taste. Why one mans
gustatory nerve should respond agree
ably to salt, while another's repels it with
violence, we cannot understand. Doubt
less, education has most to do with it,
and yet the manner in which education
operates continues mystery. The pre-
ference of the Chinese for food that
seems to our appetites absolutely dis.
gushing is we'll known. In Canton, rats
sell for fifty cents dozen, and dogs
hind quarters command higher price
than lamb or mutton. Fancy eating
birds nests worth $50 pound This is
what Mandarian revels in. The
French have beguiled us into eating
frogs legs, which were once tabooed in
this country, and we have even come to
esteem diseased goose liver in the form
of pate de toie 9ras.
The writer has met Braziiaps who
rave over boa constructor steaks, and
count monkeys and parrots very good
meal. In the West Indies, baked snake
is common dish, as the reptiles abound
and it is good way of getting rid Of
them. But when it comes to frying
palm worms in fat, one would think the
stomach would rebel. 1t is not so, how.
ever, though, by strange inconsistency
stewed rabbit is looked upon with dis
gust. On the Pacific coast the Digger
Indians eat dried locusts, and in the
Argentine Republic skunk flesh is a
dainty. Our own favorite bivalve, the
oyster, is very disgusting to a Turk
while the devil fish, eaten in Corsica, is
equally so to us. We cannot under.
stand, either, how the inhabitants of the
West Indies and the Pacific coast can
eat lizards eggs with q relish; still less
how the eggs of the turtle and alligator
can become a favorite article OF diet.
The Brazilians eat ants, probably to get
rid of them, for they literally invest the
country and are of an enormous size
1t is easy to pick up a handful of ants
almost anywhere, though the wary do moi
60 about in this way, as the pestiferous
insect bites in a most vicious manner
A curry of ants eggs is a great deIicacy
in Siam, and the Cingalese eat the bees
whose honey they have stolen. The
Chinese, who seem to have stomachs like
the ostrich, eat the chrysalis of the sill
worm after unwinding the cocoon
Spiders are used ia New Caledonia as &
kind of a dessert, while caterpillars art
also relished by the African Bushmen.-

Old Settlers Club of Kenosha county
will be held at Paddock's Lake on Fri
day, August II, 1888.
The program as announced for the
meeting on the 18th of June last will be
carried out as far as possible.
The exercises will open with the bust
ness meeting of the club, and it is de-
sired that all members of the club be
present, as matters of importance will
be brought up in which all the members
are directly interested.
The business of the club being COM
pleted, after the noon repast the exer-
cises will be short addresses and remin-
iscences of early days in Kenosha coun-
ty.
1t is expected that the Salem Brass
band will favor the club with their choice
selections of music.
The Arion Glee Club, of Kenosha,
consisting of Messrs. Cass, Baldwin,
Whitaker and Engel, will be present,
and will favor the club with several
selections.
A general good time weather per-
mitting) is assured to all who attend,
and it is hoped that every one who can at
tend will do so.

The general verdict is that the field

pices of the Young Mems Christian
Association was marked success.
The public has seen what the Ass0cia-
ton is doing in the line of musical
and social entertainments and health

grounds for the exclusive use of its
members during the entire summer

ences. Under the tireless and discreet
management Of the general secretary
the Association is, considering its
age, in very flourishing condi-
ton, excepting as to its finances. All
such associations in other towns
are maintained by voluntary subscrip.
lions. The people Of this community
have not kept up their reputation for
generosity to a good cause in their
support of this institution. Itremains
for the friends of good young manhood
and good citizenship in Kenosha to
say by their generous subscriptions
that the Y. M. G. A. shall remain as an
instrument of good in our midst, or
that it shall die for lack of money to
pay expenses. The Widows mite" is
good, but let those who are able give
of their abundance. Let all who de-
plore the corrupting influence of bad
companionship on our young men see
to it that this one resort, with its ele-
waiting surroundings, is not allowed to
die for the lack of money, while nu-
merous institutions of vice flourish in
our midst. "Now is the accepted
time" to give generously.
