The qualities of different vegeta-
bles are worth knowing in the spring.
According to one authority celery acts
upon the nervous system. and it is a
cure for rheumatism and neuralgia.
Tomatoes stimulate the liver, and
spinach and common dandelion, pre-
pared in the same way, have a direct
effect on diseases of the kidney. Onions,
garlic and olives promote digestion BY
stimulating the circulatory system,
with the consequent increase of the
saliva and gastric juice. Raw onions
are also regarded as remedy for
sleeplessness, and the French believe
that onion soup is an excellent tonic in
cases of debility of the digestive or

SILLY ANT WICKED FUN.

What "Aunt Marjorie Precept" Thinks
About Practical Jokes and Those VINO
Engage in Them.
A practical joke is a sort of trick
played by one person upon another, in
the hope of making him uncomfortable
and ridiculous. TO put ones friend in
an absurd situation. to interfere with
his rights, to do something which will
hurt him in body or mind, not very
deeply perhaps, yet really, is the OBJ
ject of tho practical joker. l have
never in my life been able to see the
least good, the least innocent fun, in
practical jokes, but / have seen great
deal of evil and mischief resulting from
them. I can not think of person adj
dicted to practical joking as any thing
but mean and contemplate. For how
can we honor the disposition which
takes pleasure in cruelty?

To be Given n New Trial.
A Showing on the Wrong Side of the
Ledger CauseS Trouble.

RUTLAND, VT. May 4.-There is trouble
with the accounts of j. Z. Robinson,
partner with the Vermont Marble Com
pany in a general merchandise store at
Center Rutland. There were S6i,Ooo worth
of goods sold last year and thu ~'mpany
claims that there should be Il profit OF
$4,000 or $4,000. Instead Of a profit,
Robinson reports a loss of $3.50 on the
wears business. The store is in the hands
of the sheriff, and suit in chancery has
been begun to dissolve the partnership.
Robinson claims that if allowed time to
examine the books, lie could account for
the shortage.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
THE DIsOBEDiENT CHILD.

He makes his mother sad,
The proud, unruly child,
Who will not brook
Her warning look.
Nor hear her counsels mild.
He makes his mother sad,
Who, in his thoughtless mirth,
Can e'er forget
His mighty debt
To her who gave him birth.
He makes his mother sad,
Who turns from wisdom's way;
Whose stubborn will,
Rebeling still,
Refuses TO obey.
He makes his mother sad,
And sad his lot must prove;
A mothers fears,
A mothers tears.
Are marked by God above.
Oh, who so sad as he
Who. DER a parents grave,
Too late repents,
Too late laments,
The bitter pain he gave?
May we ne'er know such grief,
Nor cause one feeling sad;
Let our delight
Be to requite.
And make our parents glad.

Nelson Story, Of Boztman, has insti-
tuted suit against the water COM
psny of Bozeman 10 restrain them
from using the water Of a certain
creek from which il is proposed to
supply the city, during the months of
October, November, December, Jsnu-
ary, February and March Of each year.
The point raised is that the parties
with whom the city has contracted
for water, possessed only an irrigation
right, and that as irrigation is not
practicable during the months named,
and that he, Story, has right TO use
said water for mechanical purposes,
and that during said months be will
require all the water1n the creek for
the Use of his mill. In view Of the
fact that the water company have
about completed an expensive system
of works, aud ate ready to begin the
supply under their contract, the action
of Mr.. Story is looked upon as being
hoggish In the extreme. Mr., Story
has never been regarded as public
minded citizen by the Bozemanites,
and this last move Of his meets with
almost universal censure.

Wants $4,000 Damages.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.--Jonas Carlson's
promised suit against the attorneys of
the men on trial for the Cronin murder,
for breaking into the Carlson cottage,
was begun yesterday in the circuit court.
Carlson sues w. $. Forrest. his partner,
John A. Qualey: Russell NJ. Wing, Dan
iel Donahuc and Michael Eames, all of
whom are actively engaged in the trial
now in progress. The lawyers broke
into the house to get pieces of the wall
containing the alleged human blood
stains, having been denied the privilege
OF analyzing the specimen in possession
OF the state. Carlson places his damage
a c5.c0p. He says the defendants broke
into his house with force and arms last
Monday and defaced and cut into the
walls and floor and violently seized and
bruised him. The declaration says that
by reason of crime known as the
"cronin murder" having been committed
in his house, the place has become no
torious and well known to the public.
II is an object of general interest and
curiosity; and large number of people
have paid to see the building and the
marks and evidences of the crime.
The place was fitted up for exhibition,
and Carlson has derived large revenues.
The acts of the defendants in removing
the blood stains have, the declaration
alleges, greatly injured the house and
deprecated its value as museum OF
limited curiosities, and the interest OF
the public has been greatly dinished by
the aforesaid acts. The defendants, he
also alleges, threatened him with q
large knife, and by this act caused him
great physical fright. For the deprecia
tior of his property as an object o.
profitable curiosity. AS well as for tho
great mental suffering he has under
gone through the defendants illega
acts, Mr.. Carlson prays the court te
mulct the defendants in damages.

Arrest of Gang of Thieves Headed
bya City Marshal.

cHEYENNE. Wyo., Sept. 14.-By the ar
rest today at Lusk of Frank Watson and
I've Others the authorities will be able
to rid northern Wyoming of gang of
wholesale horse thieves who have
meanced thelive stock industry for more
than a year. 1t is estimated that these
men have stolen nearly 1000 horses.
Cattle outfits have been crippled by the
1depredators, many firms being unable
to make u thorough roundup from lack
of mounts for the cowboys, and Sheriff
Williams. of Converse county, would
have long since broken up the gang but
for the fact that Frank Watson, his most
trusted deputy and city marshal of the
new town of Casper. was leader of the
band. He consulted Watson and was,
of course, thrown on the wrong trail.
THE traitorous siIicer showed fight when
arrested, but was quickly silenced.
, Watson and his companions had stolen
sixty horses grazing in camp when
captured. The gang stole eighty horses
last month.

Saved Three Lives

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-yhat true hero
no station in life was aptly illustrated
in the daring deed of Henry johnson, a
colored deck hand on the tug Tioga, who
distinguished himself by saving three
of his culaboFers from drowning at the
imminent risk of his own life.
At 3 o'clock this morning, when dark
ness still hung over the river, johnson.
companion named Badge, and many
others, were engaged in rolling very
heavy package along the gang-plank
when a loud, cracking noise was heard.
and moment later the plank broke.
IS il fell several of the deck hands
| jumped to tie dock, while two clung to
| the side of the boat and succeeded in
getting through the door into the hold.
| Three besides johnson and Badge, how
ever, fell into the water. None could
swim except johnson. His companions
cried for help as they went down.
They came up singly all around john
| son. lie grabbed the first one by tho
arm, and with couple of strong strokes
| placed the helpless mans hands within
reach of helping hands on the dock, and
| he was drawn mp. Johnson turned and
caught another who had Just come up,
and he, too, was taken to. the helping
hands of those on the dock. AS john
son saw the second one safe, the third
was going down for the last time. John
son caught him by the hair as he went
down, and a moment later he, too, was
saved. Badge uttered a gurgling sound
at this moment. He was several strokes
away and was disappearing for the last
| time. johnson dived for the sinking
man, but missed him. Again Johnson
went to the bottom in search of the
drowning man, but again failed to find
| him johnson returned to the dock
with another colored man and began
dragging the river for Badge. The body
4 was recovered an hour later, and con-
4 veyed to the morgue in the central
