First Appearance of the New Band

Prof. Bird has had under instruc-
ton several months a class in music
which may properly be termed the new
Rising Sun Cornet Band, composed
of young men of the town and neigh
borhood, who are gifted with musi-
cal ears. They made their first
appearance from the school room, on
Saturday night last and treated Mr..
Heagy of'oyster celebity. DR.. l.. r
Kirk and Post Master Hambleton to
serensde. The band acquitted
itself with much credit which is a
compliment to the teacher as we'll as
the members.
Every generation organizes band
in Rising Sun, when the o.d men,
befs grow too fat and wheezy to blow
a young set take up their horns and
so the Rising Sun, Band, although
an old organization. constantly re-
news its youth and keeps under the
schoolmaster.

Sayad a HNena,s Life.

4 correspondent CT The Cleveland Leader
thinks there is but one instance on record of
a man being rewarded for saving the life of
hyena. Writing from Philadelphia, he
tells how the affair happened, at the Zoo
in that city. The carnivora house was filled
with visitors, watching the feeding of the
animals, when the hyenas, which are young
and unusually fierce, began to fight over
their food.
Suddenly one of the brutes began to choke,
and it was found that big bone with the
meat attached to it had partially slipped
down his throat and he was strangling. If
the animal was to be saved something would
have to be done quickly.
One Of the keepers, named Shannon, graSped
a scraper and, without hesitation, opened the
iron door and sprang into the cage. The
hyenas made a dash at him, but he beat them
back, while the head keeper, Byrnes, dubbed
them with a broom handle. Both animals
frothed at the jaws and acted as though they
were rabd.
Watching his opportunity, Keeper Shan.
non finally succeeded in striking the choking
animal on the jaw and lOosened the bone, and
it fell out upon the floor of the cage with the
meat still attached
The plucky keeper got out of the cage
without being injured, and his act of kind
ness in saving the life of the animal secured
for him the authenticity society's gold medal

where Chocolate Comes From.

Chocolate is made from the seeds Of the
theobroma cocoa tree, which is found only in
tropical climates, and bears a fruit some
what like a cucumber in shape, inside which
are the brownish seeds or beans, which form
the cocoa beans of commerce. The principal
constituent of these beans is a soft, solid oil
called cocoa butter, and therattractve prin-
ciple is theobromine, analogous to the caffeine
in coffee There is but very little pure cho-
colate in the market, owing to the great
medicinal value of the cocoa butter or oil,
which is expressed in the grinding, and
cheaper, less nutritious oil supplied. One of
the best ways to buy cocoa or chocolate, it is
said, is to purchase what are called cocoa
nibs," which are the beans crushed in frag-
ments, but not ground, for the ground choco-
late is frequently adulterated with roasted
hazel nuts or almonds, ricemeal, oatmeal and
other ingredients.
The best chocolate is prepared by first
burying the fruit until the pulp is decayed
and only the beans are left. The beans are
roasted and the shells removed The choco-
late is then ground between stones, the fric-
ton heat of the grinding melting it so that
it is a soft molten mass as it dpips from the
stones and is poured into molds. The melted
chocolate is pressed in cloth until all the oil
is expelled the sedment is ground very
slowly to prevent remelting it, and the pow
der bolted like -four through silken sieves,
and then it is called cocoa, which makes a
lighter, less noNrishing, but more easily di-
gested beverage than chocolate.-New York
Sun.

Ingenious California Girls.

For some time past it has been the custom
of number Of young ladies employed in a
dreSSmaking shop to repair to the capitol
grounds at the noon hour to partake of their
luncheon. They invariably sat beneath a
large cedar tree the wide branches of which
afforded generous shade Several young
men about town observed this fact, and al
most daily they could be found shortly before
Il m. lounging under a tree not far distant
from that beneath which the young ladies
sought shelter. This was OF course annoying
to the young ladies, and each of them has pro-
vided herself with a large paras0l, all of
which are opened when the grounds are
reached and placed around in circle. This
forms a perfect coral three or four feet in
height, within which the young ladies can
partake of their lunch and recline at ease,
free from the prying eyes Of the curious
young men.-Sacramento Bee.

A brawny man, clad in a blue shirt and

walked slowly down an east side street one
evening last week. He seemed to be thinking
of something pleasant, for, as he walked, he
smiled and mpttered to himself.
Near the middle of the blocNhe paused, for

with one voice exclaimed, "Ahl" and the
boy ran to the man and was quickly seized in
his arms and repeatedly kissed.
The crowd had by this time grown very
large, and women and children, in a babel OF
voices, shouted themselves hoarse.
Finally the man and the boy went into tbs
house and the crowd began to scatter. Still

Snnerstitious Remedies.

For sore eyes a touch from an old gold we'd
ding ring is popular remedy, and many an
old womans ring has earned for itself a great
name as an eye healer. Apparently reliable
people can be found who assert that they
have been cured by touch Of this descrip
ton. Borlase asserts as a fact that a halter
with which any one has been hanged will
cure headache instantly if tied around the
head, and he adds: Moss growing upon a
human skull, if dried and powdered and
taken as snuff is no less efficacious"
Brand tells of several supepstitious rem
edies or charms: Hollow stones are hung
up in stables at night to prevent nightmare
or ephialtes. They are usually called in the

Epoch

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a re-
markab event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of Electric
Bitters So many feel they owe their resto-
ration to health, to the use of the Great Al
terative and Tonic. If you are troubled with
any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of
long or short standing, you will surely find re-
lief by the use of Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC
