MICS. They are sort of revival Of the
old English "Harvest Home" frOlic
that our ancestors looked forward to
as the gladdest day of the year. They
furnish relief from the dull drag Of
common work.a.day life. They ex-
tend acquaintance, cultivate friend
ship, spread new ideas. They are
civilizer and an educator, bidding men
remember that there are other things
in life than meat and rainent and
teaching them that he who thinks
aud tolls for himself alone is not al.
ways the greatest gamer. The sum-
mer is over, the harvest is ended and
now before the winter comes 1t Is TT
ting and pleasant that the men whose
courage and foresight and industry
have brought US prosperity, should
gather together, they and their wives
and their sons and daughters, their
men servants and their maid servants,
and spend one day for nothing else
than "the fun of the thing" one
whole day doing nothing but enjoying
themselves. 30 the REGIS TER gives
them greeting and welcome and trusts
that not the slightest mishap may mar
the perfect pleasure of the day.

er In the st. Louis GLOBE Democrat,
however, says that most of the mad
stones In use are made from half de-
cayed coral. There are deposits of
this in Rails and other counties Of
Missouri, aud 1t is prepared by rubbing
down q large piece until the rotten
part is gone. What il left Is porous
and it il said that It will adhere 10 a
wound and suck like leech. 1t might
be added in this connection that the
alleged cure Of q bite from rabid dog
by one of these madstones, Is general
" regarded by the medical profession
as an old wives fable. The recognized
treatment Of such q wound Is by eau
terization.
