HEALTH INVENTIONS.
One That Has the Merit of Appealing to
the Common Sense.


the Common Sense.
All sorts of health inventions have
come into vogue during the last half
dozen years. Some of them may be
recommended as useful, and others
should be condemned from every side.
The general desire to possess beautiful
complexion, good looks, perfectly-devel-
oped forms, have led many to invent
methods of treatment that would guar
antee all the desired physical beauties.
Probably the question OF reducing ones
weight has excited more general inter-
est than any thing else, and as many
methods as there are days in the month
have been suggested and inflicted upon
the public, for the ostensible purpose of
reducing corpulency. Here is one,
however, that has the merit of appealing
to the common sense if it has no other
value. Corpulency is usually denoted
by an increased girth of the waist, and
not by swelling muscles and limbs.
The fat accumulates around the
waist, and gives very unnat-
ural and ungraceful appearance. Sweat
be taken from the stomach and loins the
result would be satisfactory. To do
this, obtain a porous flannel bandage
that will cover the body from the hips
to the lower part of the breast bone.
This should be easy fitting, but not
tight. 1t should be worn next to the
skin, and flannel shirt worn over it.
Then take exercise, rapid walking,
horseback riding, tennis or work in the
gymnasium. Any energetic exercise
will do that causes excessive sweating.
The sweating will begin under the fan
mel bandage, and continue as long as
the exercise is kept up. Then take a
cold bath and rub the stomach and loins
well with alcohol. With enough flannel
around his waist one can sweat the
stomach and loins without sweating the
rest of the body, and in this way the fat
is taken off in the proper place.-Yankee
Blade.

MY LITTLE LADY.

I know little lady,
So young and sweet and shy,
She bushes like the roses
When a sunbeam dances by.
She trembles at rude wind,
Is full of fancicd fears;
1t seems as if I'd happened
On violet in tears.
But smile her tears will Danish,
And her skies be blue again,
For she knows no more Of sorrow
Than a violet Of pain.
She is so pure and gentle,
Could reach the spring on high,
1 would drink to her in starshine
From the dipper in the sky.

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
ALEXANDER'S FUN,

Twas horrible! the image
Which lighted up the place.
Twas an ugly pumpkin lantern,
With shocking, shocking face,
Surely the boys who made it
Had no thought of form or grace.
"Now, Tom" said Alexander,
Lets put it on this post,
And those girls will think for certain
They've seen a firstclass ghost;
And think l know for certain
Which one twill frigEten most
"For Jenny, she's so timd,
She's afraid of every thing,
And think that this may shock her
And some sense to her may bring
For of all the ugly images
This lantern is the king"
And then they stopped their talking
And listened, and could hear
Out in the distant darkness
Girlish voices, sweet and clear.
Then said Tom to Alexander:
snow they are coming near"
They came, and timid Jenny
Gave one awful, frightened cry.
As she saw the fearful image
She almost seemed to fly,
And she reached her mothers bosom
Ready, as they feared, to die.
All night in strong commissions
The lovely sister lay,
And the watchers by her bedside
= Almost feared the coming day,
Lest when the night departed
She, too, would go aWay
At dawn the little maiden
Was lying still and white,
And twas long ere she recovered
From the Illness of that night.
She never quite recovered
From her terrible alright.
Pumpkin lanterns in their places
May be very harmless fun,
But all joking that is practical
IL better left undone,
Lest in our zeal for pleasure
Wa may injure any one.
And boy or girl who's timid
You can't frighten out of it,
And if you try to do it
You show no sense, nor wit;
And joking that is practical
Isn't funny-not bit.
So pumpkin lantern image
Now will Alexander shun;
And he often thinks with shudders,
Of what he might have done
When he sacrificed his sister
To his eagerness for fun.

SEEKING LOST TREASURE.
About the Fabulous Tale o
the lost Cabin Mine.


the lost Cabin Mine.
There is certain element of human
ity that will always become infamed
with reportthat lost treasure is sup
posed to be situated in some locality.
One peculiarly of all these reports,
however, is that they fail to locate the
treasure in any exact spot, but it is to
be found within a given radius from
some center, which is generally estab-
lished by tradition. The hope of rolling
in wealth acquired without work-get-
ting something for nothing, you might
SAYS the motive that fires with en-
thusiasm the seekers after lost treasures.
Since the first massive fake of this ma
ture-Captsin Kidd, the pirates buried
wealth-wss given to the credulous
world, thousands of people have been
taken in" by these glittering stories.
One of themost successful stories of this
kind, the success being gagged by the
amount of excitement it created, was
the fabulous tale of the Lost Cabin mine.
1t set great many people beside them
selves, and was given publication far
and wide in the newspapers. l happen
to know just how the story originated.
Back in 1885, believe, was in Lead
vile, Col, specializing in mines. IA
brilliant young newspaper writer,
who afterwards became a notorious
forger, was in town, and often came to
my room to hear mining men relate
their experiences. Floating around in
mining camps are always tales more or
less fanciful. One night l related one
of them-the story of the Lost Cabin
mine. The story went that in an early
day in the West, before civilization had
sent stamping mills and smelters into
the mountains, two miners had struck it
rich in a mountain gulch, built log
cabin on the claim and piled up one
corner of their tenement with bags of
golden ore. They suddenly disappeared,
however, and also their gold. 1t was
whispered they were murdered. The
log structure was the only one that was
known for hundreds of miles around in
the mountains, and the claim was, there
fore, designated the Lost Cabin mine.
Time went on, and the site was lost. 1t
was supposed to be somewhere in a
ravine in the Rocky Mountains north
of Wyoming. The young writer took up
the story and elaborated upon the de-
tails until he ran several highly sensa-
tional fakes in serials, and the publica-
ton caused widespread comment among
the credulous. The story died away
soon, and forgot all about it. But two
years later was in Montana, and one
day ran across man in the mining
region who said he had found the Lost
Cabin mine. He told me he had read
some newspaper articles describing the
mine, and he set out from CHEYENNE,
Wyo., going north, and after walking
over one thousand miles, exploring
gulches, lodges and ravines, he found
the place of the lost treasure. learned
that he had accidentally found an old
cabin, deserted, in the mountains. In
it he found two gold nuggets, and he
Immediately concluded that this was
the Lost Cabin mine.-St. Louis Globe

Others Got the Diamonds.

1t is not always, perhaps not often,
that an important discovery particularly
benefits the discoverer. The opening Of
the diamond fields of South Africa, from
which thousand million dollars worth
of diamonds have been taken, was due
to the pertinacity of man named
O'Reilly, who was trader among the
natives and first conceived the idea that
the country was rich in diamonds and
gold. OReilly himself did not go to the
diggings and did not profit by them. On
the contrary, the rush to the diamond
fields ruined his trade with the natives
and South African correspondent saws
that he is now working for his living.
There is probably a moral in this story,
if we could only get at it.-Philadelphia
Times.

The teacher of a school in st.
Joseph, Mo-, one night placed boy in
a closet in a deserted room as punish
ment for some trivial offense, but forgot
to release the culprit when the weeks
session was ended and went home. The
janitor, while going about the building,
heard some one crying, but thought it
was child in the neighborhood and
paid no attention to it. Time passed
and the wall continued and grew
weaker and more piteous. This touched
his heart, and he began search for the
source, and soon located the little pris-
oner in the closet. The teacher had
taken the key with her and he was COM
peeled to force the door. The boy, when
released, was in a ri tiful condition.
