Disarming an Unseen Foe.

"This was sometime a paradox" as Hamlet
says Since, however, the people of America and
olher lands have been enabled to pit Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters against that unseen foe malaria,
it is no longer paradox but an easy possibility.
Wherever malaria evolves its misty venom to
poison the air, and decaying unwhoesome veg
citation impregnates the water, there. in the very
stronghold of m:asma, is the auxiliary potent to
disarm the foe and assure efficient protection.
Fever and sgue, bilious remittent, dumb ague

which the enemy is powerless. Cures, likewise

TEXAS was the only State admitted to the
Union which reserved it's own unocupied
public domain. By wise legislation one
half of the unsold lands were devoted to
school purposes, the other half being, for a
period, devoted to aiding railroads. The
consequence is, the State has now an unex-
ampled scool fund and railroads somewhat
in excess of its demands The Houston &
Texas Railway Co., one of the first, having
recovered from it's financial trouble, is now
prepared to sell and give title to some of it's
best lands in a high and salubrious portion
of the State. It's announcement in another
column indicates that easy terms will be
made to actual settlers.

Queen vic's First Hoped Skirt.

The following anecdote is told to IL
lustrate the readiness with which Paris
ian fashions are adopted, even by the
most rigidly patriotic of Princesses. At
the epoch of the arrival of Queen Vic
toria In Paris in 1856, on visit to the
Emperor and Empress, the latter had
just brought hoped skirts into vogue.
The Queen forthwith sent off a messen-
ger to purchase one for her, and on her
next approach before her imperial host
and hostess her skirts were ex-
banded into the new and fashionable
amplitude; but Her Majesty had not
comprehended the necessary methods
Of tying the tapes that held the hoops
in place, and her crinoline presented an
extraordinary and shapeless aspect. Tt
was the Emperor himself who, with his
own imperial hands, set the rebellious
petticoats to rights and gave to his royal
guest lesson as to the proper method
of donning the new-fashioned adjunct
to feminine costume.

Grand Opening.

Saturday, March 1G, will be the grand
spring opening of Silverstone Bros, Mer-
chant Tailors, 420 and 422 East Water
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, when they will be
pleased to show their customers one of the
largest and handsomest stocks of spring and
summer goods ever seen with prices that
will astonish everybody. Buying their
goods for cash, and believing in big sales
and small profits, they are enabled and do
sell much cheaper than most of their COM
petitors. BY being upright and square, and
giving the best of satisfaction, they have
worked up an immense trade throughout
the Northwest. AS cutters they will not
take back seat. They will not let a gar
ment leave the store unless it is perfect in
every respect it being their only aim, after
having gained customer, to keep him, and
therein lies their success. During their
opening week they offer the public a reduc-
ton of Is per cent. on all their spring goods
something entirely unusual for tailor.
This is certainly big inducement and we
hope good many of our citizens will use
this OppOrtunity to their advantage

A Letter Carrier,s Prescrintion.

A st. Louis letter carrier says there is
no reason why a man should remain
thin or have cold feet and corns. 81 was
that way myself once, but as cure our
old negro cook told me to wear hannelor
WOODEN waistband, that is to say, cover
my body from chest to hip with flannel
or wooden next to the skin, besides the
regular winter or summer clothing, and
keep the band on all the year round. I
tried it some years ago, and at first [
saw no change in my size or waist meas
urement, but suddenly / noticed I
could not button my waist band, and
moved the buttons. Before three
months passed moved the buttons four
times" The extra covering causes
great internal heat, which is carried
over the body by the blood, and aids
digestion. The remedy for cold feet is
to scrub them in cold water every night
before going to bed, for sixty DAYS. There
will be no further trouble.

A BANGOR, Me-, lady was i'll few
days ago, and a physician was called,
who prescribed for her. The prescrip-
ton was given to servant girl, who was
directed TO take it to the drug store and
have it filed. She went to the drug
store, but, instead of carrying out her
instructions, bought postage stamp,
placed it upon the prescription, and
dropped it into the post-office. Tn a
short time it returned to the physician
who gave it. 1t may be well to add
that the lady did not die from the delay
in receiving the medicine.

A CRADLE SONG.

Asleep upon my bosom lies,
NY babe I'll kiss the lid-veiled eyes
To see them ope in glad surprise.
I'll kiss the chin. the cheeks and nose,
The tender mouth in sweet rep pose,
The tiny hands and rt sebud toes
I'll kiss the shoulders white and bare,
And lightly touch the golden hair;
I'll kiss my babe, nor kisses spare
With burning kisses winged with prayer.

Parker's Army Coffin.

Boston Travellers Washington Letter.
A veteran of the regular army said to
me while IN reminiscent mood: "The
widest madcap of the Federal Army,
during the late war of the rebellion,
was Dwight Parker, who was on Han
cocks staff. Brave as a lion; hand
some as picture, he was the ideal
soldier. Dwight got furlough after he
had served long time at the front, and
behaved himself until his arrival in
Philadelphia. There he proceeded to
'inaueurate howl as you boys say
now, but we used to call it "a spree
He just climbed all over the town. If
there was any resident who didn't know
he was in the city 1t wasn't his fault. He
did the best he knew how, and Dwight
wasn't a man of mean abilities in that
line either. Right in the middle of this
spree he went to the undertaker's and
got measured for coffin. This, with a
plate bearing his name, with a blank
space left for the date of his death, was
forwarded to the Continental Hotel.
Dwight was very proud Of it, and cele-
brated Its arrival in manner peculiar
to himself. When his Through had
almost expired. he packed up his bag
gage and his coffin and started for the
front. Hancock and the officers of his
staff We're at first inclined to look upon
Parker's coffin as something CHASTITY,
but everything went in the army IN
those days, and finally all hands got so
accustomed to seeing the thing around
headquarters that they began to use it
as sort of waste paper receptacle.
What became of it? Well, don't re-
member. Parker died several years
ago on Governors Island, N. Y, but he
had brand new coffin on that occasion,
for | saw it. | guess Parker was the
only soldier on either side who carried
his coffin with him during the war;"
