Wholesome Stimulants.
Medical Record.

Milk heated to much above 100 de- grees Fahrenheit loses for time de- gree of its sweetness and density. No one who, fatigued by over exertion of body or mind, has ever experienced the reviving influence of tumbler of this beverage, heated as hot as it can be slipped, will willingly forego re- sort to it because of its being rendered somewhat less acceptable to the pal ate. The promptness with which it's cordial influence is felt is indeed sur- prising. Some portion of it seems to be digested and appropriated almost immediately, and many who now fancy that they need alcoholic stimu- Aants when exhausted by fatigue will find in this simple draught an equiva- lent that will be abundantly satisfy ing and far more enduring in its ef- fects.
 "There is many an ignorant, over worked woman who fancies she could not keep up without her beer; she mistakes it's momentary exhilaration for strength ard applies the whip in- stead of nourishment to her poor, ex- hausted frame. Any honest, intelli- gent physician will tell her that there is more real strength and nourishment in slice of bread than in a quart of beer; but if she. loves stimulants it would be very useless piece of infor- nation. It is claimed that some of the lady clerks in our own city and those, too, who are employed in re- spectacle business houses, are in the habit of ordering ale or beer at the restaurants. They probably claim that they are tired and no one who sees their faithful devotion to custom CTS all day will doubt their assertions. But they should not mistake beer for a blessing or stimulus for strength. A careful examination of statistics will prove that men and women who do not drink can endure more hardship and do more work and live longer than their less temperate neighbors. But

 and woman is wonderfully like him in this respect.
 "Furthermore, when a woman wants anything, from California trip to glass of toddy, you may rest assured that her health will demand it, and it sometimes demands it SO loud and SO long that her friends are glad to yield in time to save their own lives. A tippling woman gets pain or an ache on short notice, and when she has & cold or headache the whisky has to suffer and the drug stores in her 1eighborhood do thriving business. If her ale disorders her stomach she depends upon a dose of whisky to correct it's effects, and so her morning beer and evening bourbon do CO., -op- erative business.

crossed the room, precipitately fol- lowed his comrade down the stairs, shutting all doors as he went after him as is the custom of burglars. As the noise of their departure died away, the snake quieted and I heard him DO more that night.
 In the morning I found the snake still coiled up on the floor, and beside it lay the bag dropped by the burglar, and which held intact all the plunder of the household. On account of the service he had done changed my plan for the destruction of the massasauga, and, having extracted his poison gland, gave it to public museum which desired to add live rattlesnake to it's collection. When last visited the museum, year or SO after the event, the snake lay in apparent con- tent in den among silent coterie of it's fellows. It was wholly undemon- strative, and did not give me SO much as rattle of recognition. The bur- glars we're never heard of again by me, and whether the wounded man lived or died remains unknown.-Y Youth's Communion

None of the old time Mani toba employees will ever forget Tony Manley, and the conductors and en- gineers of the two trains, as we'll as the large number of passengers who were in the coaches, probably have him to thank for being alive to-day to be able to relate the accident as among their hair breadth escapes from instant death or from being life long cripple.

Mack Griffin's Prison.
Bowling Green Times.

DOWilnS GTeen I1meS.
 Near Gainesville, in the neighboring county, Allen, there lives man whose life has indeed been an unusual one. He was born an imbecile, and as he grew older and stronger he became violent and had to be confined. His name is Mack Griffin, and at the age of fifteen he was placed in a cabin built in the corner of the yard where his parents lived. The cabin was built especially for his occupancy, and he was placed in it and kept in confine- ment, never permitted to leave the house. It is said that he would allow nobody, not even the members of the family, to come near him, except his sister, who would bring his meals ana sweep up the room.
 While she was in the room he would jump into bed and sit down and watch her until she had left. He is now sixty five years old and his hair is as white as snow. He has never been outside the house since lie was put into 1t but once, and that was when it was torn down to be rebuilt. He has been in that house, which has no win dow in 1t, with the door barred, for fifty years, and has never had commu- nication with any human being except some members of the family, who take him his meals and arrange his bed.
 There are several of the family who can go into the room now with safety, but the sight of 6 stranger fills him with horror and causes his wild nature to assert itself and he raves and gives vent to the most unearthly screams and hideous noises. They never go into the house, because he would attack them viciously the moment they crossed the threshold.
 The family are compelled to remove his bed from the room every day, as he would tear 1t into shreds. They can leave nothing in the room with him, for 1t would be destroyed. He cannot be induced for moment to leave his cabin, and if the door wss left standing open he would not come out. His has, indeed, been an unusual life and st the same time most un- fortunate one.

THE QUEEN OF THE BALLET.

What figure fine, What a glance divine, Wrought by Natures grace, What facel Sweet as cherub in the sun, Where the ragged children run. In the dingy court
 Thou dids't sport
 A fairy in the mud, Till the limelight's waxen glare Boun thee in the devils snare, Of golden incense made thy face A grimace. Art alone can show thee And know thee By the jewel in thine ear,
 Pretty girl! By thy sealskin wrapper, And the clapper
 Of thy tongue; Without Soul, or Thought, or Fear, By the idlers that are near To belaud thee, and applaud thee, Ali day long. Virtue thou dids't never know, Nor the flow Of chtldtike innocence
 Pure and free; Love was not inborn in thee, Nor the flower of sense. Yet may time most gently flow Der thy life; Ere the love-deriding crow
 Marks the strife Meath the lustrous dew Of thine eyes, deep blue, And the icy rime of care Frosts thy waves of ebon hair,
 And the silent years
 Bring their tears. Sport then, splendid butterfly
 Ere thou die. Folly writes thy epitaphi Light as her dance was her laugh Was the play thing of day For the brains of sOttest clay
 Yet, alas! yet, alasl Beings of the light must pass
 With the light,
 Into night, Into gruesome night away"

Could Not See 1t.

CHICAGO, March 30.-The ST. Paul yard
men started to 60 to work last night at
10 O'Clock, and had begun to get their
engines started out when a message
came to the Western Avenue round
house that all the men should wait until
Assistant General Superintendent Earl
ing had seen them before resuming
work. Mr.. Earling soon arrived, accom-
panied by Division Superintendent Col
Inns and Hardagin; Jerry Dougherty,
engineer. acted as spokesman for the
men. Mr.. Earring stated the case
briefly as he understood it, and then
said: 1--WE have submitted to many acts
that we have considered unjustifable
on your part. This afternoon the men In
our employ deliberately derailed and
wrecked number Of cars that are our
property; In addition to that, they as
sembled and beat Superintendent Bester
OF the Burlington road. This is mex.
ousable; we will consent to overlook
this, and you Oan 60 to work, but the
first work that is to be done will be to
replace those oars upon the track and
put them on the track where they be-
long,"
Never, never" shouted scores of
voices. A hot discussion followed.
Dougherty claimed that the men we're
not responsible for the condition of the
cars. LAS an engineer" asked Mr..
Earling,"wil you volunteer to place that
train where 1t belongs?" "Oh, l will do
nothing Of the kind" said Dougherty.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
road has attempted this as feeler, and
| hope they are Satisfied. We will never
consent TO handle any cars pulled by q
%" engine. We regret that these
happen to be your cars, but can not help
it."
This ended the conference. The
strike was on an entire night. Freight
traffic was completely suspended, and
passenger engineers we're with difficulty
restrained from striking.

The following card received at this
office explains itself:
Dear Light:
SAN ANTONIO, March 29.-Would you
be kind enough to tell me through your
valuable paper II we have an alderman
Dy the name OF j. II. Schafer? II so, why
