Sentence. Containing the Alphabet.

Half a dozen members of the Press
Club were discussing the peculiarities of
the English language the other evening
when DR.. F. Z. Rice, who, by the way,
is a bad man TO run up against in the
discussion Of almost any subject, took
the Argus to task for printing para
graph which read about as follows
THE following is said to be the short
est sentence in the English language
containing all the letters of the alpha
bet: John p. Brady gave me black
walnut box Of quite small size The
entire sentence contains less than twice
the number of letters in the alphabet
That's good sentence of its kind.
said the doctor, but think il you will
carefully study the sentence Pack my
box with five dozen liquor jugs you
will find that IL contains less letters
than the sentence you published and yet
omits no letter in the alphabet" 1t
will be seen that the sentence Of the
doctors construction contains fifteen
letters less than the former and also has
but six supsrfuous letteFs.-Albany Ar
gus.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.


AS an egg shell is somewhat porous
they easily absorb unpleasant odors. and
should be kept in a clean, airy, cool
place-never in q cellar with decsying
vegetables.
-Wormwood boiled in vinegar. and
applied hot with enough cloths wrapped
around to keep the flesh moist, is said
to be an invaluable remedy for a sprain
or bruise.-Western Rural.
Soup is said to be the best food for
singers: strong soup, well made. Rare
beef is good, also fruit and vegetables.
Pastry and sweets are not good. but are
to be avoided more because they hurt
the complexion than because they affec
the throat
Peach Plea very fine peach pie
may be made from the best evaporated
peaches. Soak over night in water to
cover, and simmer carefully until per-
fectly tender; sweeten to taste. and boil
down the strip until very thick and
rich. Flavor with a very little bitter
almond. Gentleman
Chicken Pudding.-Cut up a spring
chicken, and cook tender in little
water. Take up, spread on dish. sea-
son with pepper, salt and butter. Make
a thick batter. Butter a pudding dish,
and put layer of chicken in, and pour
over cupful of batter. Continue until
the dish is full. Bake and serve with
butter sauce in gravy boat.-House-
hold.
Gore Gems-One-halfp pint of finely
bolted corn meal, one-haf pint of -four.
one tablespoonful of white sugar, half
teaspoonful of salt and two heaping tea
spoonfuls of baking-powder; mix to-
gether thoroughly while dry; then add
two well-beaten eggs and cold sweet
milk, or milk and water. to moderately
thin batter; bake in gem pans or muffin
rings.
There is an old-fashioned prepare
ton which our grandmothers made for
whitening the hands Two cakes of
old-time brown Windsor soap were
shaved fine. and wine-glass of German
cologne and wine-glass of lemon
juice added. In day or two the liquid
became incorporated with the soap so
that the mixture could be nodded into
cake. Though old this is an admirable
preparation or bleach for removing
stains from the hands.
The English Mechanic prints the
following as a speedy cure for rheuma-
tism: One quart of milk, quite hot, into
which stir one ounce of alum, this will
make curds and whey. Battle part af-
fected with the whey until too cold. In
the meantime keep the curds hot, and,
after bathing, put them on as poultice,
wrap in flannel and go to sleep (you
cam. Three applications should be a
perfect cure, even in aggravated cases.
This may be worth trying. 1t can Ger
tainly do no harm.

With fatigue are al aching and sore,
The brain, though with knowledge IL thickiy

With reluctance will yield up its store,
And yet It will yield-if the treasure be there
As Of old at touch Of the rod

Its cool stresm for the people of God
But If from ones youth brain all faIlow has
And If only with bone and with Drawn
One tolls as the or, then tits greatly in vain,
For his intellect still waits Its dawn
And what of the man II his intellect sleep
Who but works, eats and slumbers away
The days OF his yesrss he in darkness must

Who should walk in the white light OF day.

II the man may rot ever unfold.
The wealth OF the Indies can not make amend
II we miss all the treasures that hide

Where thought seeks forever sll minds TO i'm

Two Sane People Who Took Each Other

People intending to visit an insane asy.

experiences An English gentleman tells
the following story Of his experience on
such an occasion:

the usual way" said the visitor, but to

mot at ALL" was the reply.
The stranger walked into the ballroom,
and selecting the prettiest girl he saw for o
partner, was soon keeping up very AMI
mated conversation with her. In the course
of the evening he said TO the doctor:
do you know that girl in the white dress
with blue spots on it is very curious easel
I've been talking to her, and 1 can not for
the life and soul of me discover in what d.
rection her mental malady lies. OF course
