VINO is your Best Friend ?

Your stomach of course Why? Because
+ it is ont Of order you are one OF the most
miserable creatures living. Give It fair,
honorable chance and see ifiti is not the best
friend you have in the end. Don't smoke
n the morning. Don't drink in the morning
stomach is through with breakfast You can
drink more and smoke more in the evening
and it will tell on You less If your food
ferments and does not digest right, If YOU
are troubled with Heartburn, Dizziness Of
the head, coming up Of the food after eating,
Biliousness. Indigestion, or any other trouble
Of tile stomach, you had best use Green's

An old settler informed us tho other day
shat LaSalle is underlRid with the bones Of
dead men. and that We scarcely walk a rod
without stepping on the grave of some one
long since departed There is no doubling
the fact that Dlackhawk and other big
Indians fought desperate battles over the site
Of this city, and there are many bold warriors
sleeping beneath the thunder Of busy manu-
factories here instead of the roar Of artillery
and the rattle Of musketry. In some parts
Of LaSallo workmeD have found carloads Of
human bones in excavating for cellnrs, but
these are supposed to have been the bones Of
white men. in the cholera times many died
and were buried by the canal. af late men
at work on the rev railroad have turned
oyer the whitened bones and grinning skulls
Of those buried there and hold them as curl
osities There is scarcely a street or block
In the city that docs not cover the last resting
place Of some one, but the march OF progress
leaves little time to think Of the dead Of a
quarter Of century or more ago, and con-
sequently their memory is sadly neglected.

ConnterfeIt sIlrer In clroulntion.

There is, by all accounts, a good deal Of
counterfeit silver in circulation in the rural
districts, and exactly how il gets into circu-
lation no one seems 10 know. A friend Of
mine, who docs a considerable supply busi-
ness with the rural tradeslnen offers a passa-
bic explanation. He has recently, he says,
received a number Of letters from people in
the south and southwest, ASKING him to sup
ply them with counterfeit money. At first
these letters puzzled him, as he could not con-
ceive how the writers, who were strangers to
him, could have got his address ard tho idea
that he dealt in such a commodity as they
wished to negotiate for At last, however,
it struck him that some Of the peddlers
whom he supplied with goods might be en-
gagged in the business Of showing the queer,
and that they had taken tho liberty to give
his name as the person who furnished the
bogus currency to them. The theory is quite
piausihle. Peddlers get everywhere about
the country in the south, and could readily
put out large quantity Of base coin among
the ignorant blacks and whites they deal
with in the way Of trade. A shrewd pcddler,
knowing the country well, could also pick
his men and sell large quantities of bad
money to them with comparative safety to
himself.-Alfred Trumbull in New York

Curious Custom In the Tuscan Highlands.
Saints Bones-village Lottery.
In the Tuscan Highlands at the village
Of Cutipliano they keep high feast on the
sth of August in memory Of Saint Aure-
lius and Saint Irenaus, whose bones lie
in state in the town church. The sacred
remains exhibited on the holiday are pre-
served in richly gilt shrines, with glass
front ard sides. The skulls are hare in
ali their grinning hideousness: the rest
Of the skeletons are happily hid in rich
costumes, the hands covered with silk
gloves and the feet with elegant stock
ings.
After mass is over in the church and
the people have been blessed, priest
standing at the altar holds up a reliquary
containing the bone of saint for the
alteration of the crowd. One by one the
men come up to the altar steps, devoutlv
kiss the glass that covers the precious
bone, and drop a copper or two into the
brass tray which is carried BY an attend
ant. After each oeculation the glass is
carefully wiped with ns pkin and then
presented to the next Ia oder.

Climate Of the nIoon.

The climate of the moon is known to a
certainty. Its day, or period Of rotation, is
equal to one lunar month. Its night is, there
fore, equal to nearly fifteen terrestrial d. ys,
and during this period of absence Of the sun
a degree Of cold is reached Of which dwelleis
on the earth can have little conception. With
the dawn Of the lunar day period Of direct
sunshine equal to nearly fifteen OF our days
follows the night of unexampled cold, and
this season of constantly increasing and &c
cumulating heat, untempered by rain or
clouds, must result in a state Of temperature
compared to which the temperature of
Central Africa would be like a winter in
Alaska. Boston Globe

And peace with perfect rest its bosom iills.

Comes as a white soft hand, and reaches DER
And touches its stin face most tenderly.
Uustirred and calm, amid our shifting years,
Lo! where lies, far from the clash and roar,
with quiet distance blurred, as If thro' tears.
Oh heart that prayest so for God to send

sr PATmcK's DAY was very rough one
in Scotland and the north Of England, the
kilograms from which to the London press
were full, as The Ne0 York Times London
correspondent tells OF facts about snow
plows, blockaded trains, deaths from ex-
posture, etc., as II they were dated in Da-
kota. All the roads and railways about
Sunderland were blocked. Seven
teen trains were showed up be-
tween Berwick and Newcastle and
seven feet OF snow covered the Durham
roads. The Flying Scotchman was
showed up at Morpeth, and for a time
railway communication in the North was
entirely suspended Sheep were frozen by
hundreds and many people were injured
or killed by the storm, which, in some
sections, in westmoreland in particular,
was the worst ever known.
