In Brief, And to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disor.
dered liver and misery. Indigestion
is a foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus
is one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t
is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, though food, slop>
by food, bad cookery, mental wor-
ry, late hours. irregular habits. and
many other things which ought
not to be, have made the Ameri.
can people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reform.
ing this sad business and making
the American people so healthy
that they can enjoy their meals and
behappy.
Remember:-No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happi-
ness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for a bottle. Seventy,five

Mr.. John Logan, living nine
miles east of Washington, shot
Mrs. Elliot on Monday last. 1t
seems that Mrs Elliot had in some
way. slandered Logan's wife, and
Logan, upon hearing it sought
Mrs. Elliot fer an explanation.
Mrs. Elliot was shot at four or five
times, one ; al passing through the
back of her head, producing a
slight wound. Mr.. Logan is at his
home. No action so far has been
taken by authorities. Mr., Logan
has the reputation of being a very
quiet and peacable citizen.
We have said all along that some

The Sheffield free library has adopted the
plan of fumigating The books. They are ex-
posed for fifteen minutes to the fumes of car
bolic acid at temperature of from $50 deGs.
to 200 degs.
One of the most remarkable mechanical
changes of the day is the setting aside of
steel and the adoption of iron for some of the
most important parts of locomotives on many
railroads. 1t is only comparatively a few
years since the change was made, ON most
roads, from iron to steel.
DR.. Grundman, of Hirschberg, has patented
a new process of making magnesia into a
carbonate by exposing it to carbonic acid as
produced by burning coke in close apart
ments. 1t thus forms a substance as hard as
magnesita, and capable of taking a fine
polish. Mixed with marble dust it forms an
artificial dolemite; with soluble silicates an
artificial stucca.
