MISS GIRL MARRIED.
Why Does Mrs. Man Go Back I'm the World
While Her Husband Grows?

Miss Girl was married the other day
and when she came down this morning
nearly everybody in town was looking
at her, for she really is very pretty.
Her cheeks and lips have Redeemed and
she walks as lightly as princess and as
proudly as queen: and somehow or
other the thin white veil she wears
heightens her appearance wonderfully,
and the men watch her as she passes.
The girls all envy her, and the elderly
women are beginning to call on her; in
fact she is getting settled for life
She is so happy and conscious of her
self that she is unconscious of the fact
that she is going over u. road which
viii soon deepen into Il rut and make her
like all other women. She can not hold
the general attention very much longer
and the next bride will displace her in
public. admiration. She will soon find
that she is counted as old married folks
by her unmarried friends and is not in
vited very much, and further she will find
that married folks have little society of
their own. Then sho will get more and
moro engrossed with her neighbor gos-
sip and little church affairs and somo-
how things which she did before mar
riage innocently enough when done by
the young girls will have a different
significance to her and She will be given
to insinuating that this or that thing
may be all right but-And then she will
meet with the women around at places
and discuss the men and tell about her
husbands lungs and liver, and swap
remedies for Group and sour stomach
and sore eyes.
Long before this she will get fat and
lose her pretty color and will waddle
and wear black alpaca on the streets
and calico dress and carpet slippers in
the house. and the men who are envy
ing my friend, Mr. Man, now, will then
wonder how he was ever attracted TO
such a woman as Mrs. Man anyway. and
her friends will think of what pretty
woman she was, and sigh and say there
are no such good oldfashioned girls as
there used to be, and that all the girls
care for Is dress. dress, dress.
Mrs. Man probably doesn't think she
will make that kind of a wife and has
often talked with Mr.. Man about how
she is going to be pretty always
for him and how she will not
let their marriage make the slight
est difference in her personal APP
pearance, but she will forget all this
after tho first baby has boen brought up
II not before. Why does Mrs. Man go
back in the world and her husband
grow?- Elder Twiggs tWili A. White.)

For Ladies with Bald Heads.

Badness is rare infirmity among
ladies. Doubtless one reason is because
they are their own hair-dressers. Occa-
sionally the hair falls out from severe
fevers, as typhoid, but it is usually re-
stored without treatment. Some ladies
seem to have inherited tendency to
badness. Thinning out of the hair also
occasionally occurs in conseG uence OF
constitutional i'll health. Probably no
better 'hair restorer' has been found
than cantharides. A simple, and per-
haps as good as any other application, is
made with one ounce OF the tincture of
cantharides, four ounces of bay rum and
ten ounces of water. This should be
we'll rubbed into the scalp every day.
Quinine has some repute as hair tonic.
The usual proportions are two drachms
to pint of water. Common water may
be used. The mixture should be made
up by a druggist, who will need to
add little dilute sulphuric acid, and
few drops of some perfume oil will rem
der it more agreeable. 1t would be we'll,
also, to add to each pint of the mixture
two or three ounces OF glycerine. APP
ply this tonic once or twice day. A
rapid gain must never be expected from
the use Of any hair restorative. Even
tho best of them are not likely TO have
any noticeable effect until after they
have been persisted in for several
months Boston Herald.

ACIDITY OF THE STOMACH.

Extract from n Lecture by j. II. Kellogg,
NJ. d., of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Acidity of the stomach is due to
germs and the cure lies in getting rid of
the germs. Germs of fermentation in
the stomach produce first alcohol, then
carbonic acid and then acetic acid. A
person troubled with this form of dys-
pepsia should be careful to take only
such articles of food as do not favor
germs and thus starve them out. The
worst articles are sugar and all forms Of
sweets, including ice cream and cake,
and all fat foods. Boiled milk and un-
fermented breads are excellent foods to
take. Another thing to do is to wash
the germs out of the stomach by drink
ing freely of hot water an hour before
meals. If food is put into stomach al
ready sour, of course fermentation will
set up Immediately. 1t is just like
straining new milk into unwashed pans
from which sour milk has been emptied.
Some people notice that just as soon as
they eat their stomachs become sour.
The third important thing to do is to
stimulate the stomach to make more
gastric juice which is natural antisep-
tic and prevents fermentation and italsq
hastens absorption. The glands may be
stimulated by applying hot fermenta-
tions to the stomach for half an hour
Immediately after the close of meal, or
easier still, by wearing rubber bag,
filled with hot water, directly over the
stomach for half an hour or an hour
Heat is natural stimulant and there
are no possible ill effects from its use in
this Way.

THE GREAT ANT-EATER.
How This Curious Creature Obtains /
Supplies of Food.

| How This Curious Creature Obtains Its
| Supplies of Food,
1t is most tuncanny-looking creature;
| it's curious little head, with small eyes
and ears and extraordinary long snout
ending in diminutive mouth; it's great
| fore limbs armed with enormous claws,
which it carries folded in upon it's
palms, and its huge, bushy tail giving it
| an odd appearance of being all out of
proportion. This odd appearance, in
deed, no doubt gave rise to the extraor-
dinary stories that were told of it by
| the earlier travellers and writers-such,
for example, as that it was in the habit
of climbing trees in search of its food, a
story which aroused the wrath of the
late Charles Waterton, who attacked
both the story and its authors with his
usual herceness The author also strong
| ly objected to 'the remark that the
long visage of this most singular quad
ruped is out of proportion and insight
ly,'' stating that he considered it to be
quite in unison with the rest of his body.
and admirably adapted to the support of
life;" adding: "What could the ant-bear
do without its tremendous claws and
cylinder-shaped snout, SO tough as to
enable it to perforate huge nests of
ants, which in certain districts of South
America appear more like the roofs of
Chinese temples tnan the work and hab-
itations Of insignificant little insects?"
The ant-eater's method of obtaining
it's food Is said to be as follows: Having
torn open an ant hill with its powerful
al, n 10
BILE tongue, which is covered with glu-
tinous saliva, over the masses of insects
which rush out in defense of their
home, with the result that numbers of
them adhere to it, and are thus drawn
into the animals mouth, and so quickly
is this operation repeated that we are
assured that the tongue IS put out and
drawn in again covered with insects
twice in & second. Quaint DIR. Brooke
describes the process as follows: "He
the ant-eater lives upon ants, and
when he has found out one of their
nests he opens the upper part of it with
his claws that he may have room To put
in his snout and tongue. This is be-
smeared with Shiny liquor and is soon
covered with ants which, when he finds,
he draws it into his mouth and swallows
them. He repeats this practice as long
as there are any remaining, or at least
as long as they will run into the same
snare. When he is hungry again he
will go in quest of another nest" The
tongue is wonderful organ, much
longer than the head, round, and capa-
BILE of being projected sixteen or cigh.
teen inches; in appearance 1t is very
much like an enormous worm; when
at rest it is bent backward in the
mouth, or as DR.. Brooks has 1t, she is
obliged to bend part of it back when he
keeps it within his mouth, for it is not
long enough to hold 1t without this
artifice." When the animal at the Zoo
Is fed, this curious tongue is most
noticeable, sweeping round the pan in
which the food is contained In most
extraordinary manner.-Saturday Re.

The condition of servants at this period
was therefore peculiar, and it is clear that
they were ruled by a curious mixture OF

Preserved Live Beetles.


The long Imprisonment of beetles within

Natural History. 1t is suggested that when
such cases occur, the conditions may bring
about lethargic state in which respiration
and accompanying phenomena are almost
or entirely suspended through the COM
plete exclusion of air by the rubbing, oil
ing, and vanishing or other polishing tho
furniture has undergone. This instance OF
the Imprisonment of beetle is cited, says

of Gen. Israel Putnam. residing at Will

one of his apple trees. Many years after.

in the leaves of this table, which noise con-
tinued for a year or two, when large,
long horned beetle made its exit there
from. Subsequently the same noise was
heard again, and second insect, and after
ward a third, all of the same kind, issued
from this table-leaf /; the first one coming
