A French Cure for Obesity.

"A FF0nCn OuF0 Tor OO0SlLys
In the Journal de Ia Sante is an
nounced the discovery of a means as
simple as i6 is strange for curing
obesity, which is attribute to q
medical officer in the army. Thanks
to this means, a Colonel who was
threatened to be obliged to retire
from the army, as he was so heavy
that it required two men to lift him
into his saddle, became thin in O few
weeks, and to such an extent that he
had to take the means to recover. in
d measure, what he had lost. 1t was
to his doctor that he was indebted to
have become a General. The means
consisted simply in never eating
more than one dish at each meal, no
matter what that dish may be, and
a person may consume as much as
the stomach will bear, and satisfy
the appetite without the least re-
serve.
Nevertheless, nothing but the one
dish should be taken; no condiments.
nor soups, nor supplementary deserts
should be allowed. This system was
recommended by the aHthor of q
note to a lady who was slightly obese,
and who put it into practice with
the best results. The lady observed
that she suffered no inconvenience
whatever from this diet, and the re-
suit obtained by the medical Off
Ger may be we'll understood, as she
found by her own experience that the
partakiDg of only one dish, wheth err
it be meat, fish or vegetables, brought
on a sense of safety much sooner
than if she had partaken of a variety
of dishes, whence the effect ofrelative
abstinence.

Run as an Adjunct.

There came n chap one day to set
up drug store in our mining town,
which had taken q boom and was
attracting business. This wasn't to
be o regular" drug store, but the
drugpart was IN annex to a grocery
md boot-and-shoe store. The new
arrival had just opened out, when
Tom Harrison. one OF the men in my
claim, was taken one night with bill
GUS collie. Ben Wheeler, another of
our men, went to the druggists to
get remedy, but that individual ut
once said to him:
'1know mighty little about drugs,
but | took this stock on q debt and
thought I'd better show'em up. The
drugs are an adjunct"
Eyes, but Tom has had q bad case
of collie"
"Well, l might hit something, and
| might miss it. Idon't want to take
the chances. II you do, go ahead"
II don tfeel fit, and mebbe I'd bet
ter GO and ask Tom. If he'll run the
chances | will"
He came back and stated the case.
Toms collie was worse, and in his
desperation he exclaimed:
"Git sunthin'-no matter what!
You can't more'n kill me and / shall
die anyhow"
Ben returned to the store and paved
around for a spell. He couldn't read
except with u great effort, but he
came across two bottles, the contents
of which rather took his eye, and he
filed a smaller one with the mixture.
When he was ready to give Tom a
dose he said:
Cant guarantee this, Tom. The
TELLER says the drugs are only an ad-
junct, and you know Pm no hand at
doctorin'."
"I'll chance it," replied Tom, and
down went the dose, and at midnight
he was a dead man.

given it, put jury on the case, and
had the particulars retold, and when
they had nothing more to learn he
said:

A TRUE STORY.
Her Ingenious Tactics on Receiving
the First Kiss From Her Lover

Her Ingenious Tactics on Receiving
the First Kiss From Her Lover
This, I am assured, is true story,
says writer in the Detroit Free
Press. The gentleman himself told it
to me, and the lady, now his wife, sat
beside him and admitted it to be true.
He had waited on her for several
weeks, when one evening he resolved
to kiss her, and told her so.
"You shall do nothing of the kind, !"
she said with good deal of asperity.
But he was not to be frightened out
of it. He reached for her, but she
drew away and Indignantly declared
that if he undertook any such liberties
she would scream. He didn't believe
she would, so he grabbed her up and
gave her good, rousing smack.
Sure enough she screeched like a
steam calliope, and frightened the
young man well-nigh out of his senses,
for he heard the family rushing toward
the parlor. The young lady's mother
was the first to enter and the rather
came close behind.
whats the NATTER" asked the
mother.
The young man stood by the piano,
wishing the roof would tall in and bury
everybody. The young lady had
jumped upon the sofa.
81 saw mouse" she said.
The parents went back, and the
young man kissed her until she could
not have told a mouse from a mount
ain.

An INSCRIPTIONS Turk.

Mr.. Rowland, of W. & J. Sloane,
tells the following good story on him
self as illustrative of the quickness OF
the turkish merchant at grasping an
opportunity, despite an apparent
slowness: Il happened to drop into
IL bazaar in Cairo merely out of curios-
ity. After I had looked at a number
of things without finding any that
suited me happened to notice an
old rug which lay on the floor and
which had some good points. My
experience told me that the rug was
worth at the utmost GS. | ask.
ed the old fellow how much he wanted
for it, and he once concluded that l
wanted it badly and asked SIS.
Ioffered him five, and then we pro-
ceeded in the usual way to dicker. l
had gotten him down TO twelve, and
he had gotten me up to six, with.very
excellent prospects of our finally
settling on eight when an English
man came along, accompanied by
his valet. The latter was burdened
with various things that the English
man had been purchasing at the
bazars, and they were moving along
slowly. AS they passed the entrance
the old merchant was holding up the
rug to show it's good qualities, and
the Englishman stopped to look at
it. He was typical English travel
pr, with more money than brains.
Utterly ignoring me he shouted to
the Turk:
Chow much do you want for that
tug?'
"Quick as fash the Turk called
back, Fifty pounds There was not
q change of muscle in his face or any
thing to indicate that he had been

Put His Foot In His Mouth.

At Rome, Ca, while a horse was
loose in the stable one of his hind
feet got caught in his mouth. 1t is
supposed that the animal was rub
hing the flies from his nose with his
hind foot, when by accident the foot
passed into the mouth. The hoof
was shod with heavy iron shoe,
and the sharp corners of the shoe
and hoof cut very painful wounds in
the mouth. The animal fell to the
ground and continued to struggle
without relief. When he was dis
covered he was covered with foam,
and showed every sign of fearful
struggle. His master came and sue

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo, during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: "My food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe-
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up I would
have flow of mucus in the mouth,
and bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. Iached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet, cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and 1 could get no sleep
at all. tried everywhere, and got

Toys That Were Once Postage
Stamps,

Seven little red Indians and five
blue Quakers were exposed for sale re-
Gently among other curiosities on q
stand near the city Post Office. There
were also three green Africans, whose
nationality was proclaimed by the
banios they held. No explanation
was given as to why this trio was OF
the color mentioned, though their
complexion was supposed to have
been affected by overindulgence in the
surreptitious moonlight watermelon.
One could buy any one of the small
statuettes for 10 cents, notwithstand-
ing the paper plasters they bore stat
ing their ESTIMATED value" at from
$5Oto $500 EACH" The secret oft was
that they were made out of macerated
postage stamps. The Quakers were of
1-cent stamps, the Indians 2-cent
ones, and the colored persons of To-
cent denomination. 1t was learned by
the Star writer, upon investigation,
that the material of which they were
composed had been purchased at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

A Peculiar Natural Phenomenon

A curious phenomenon occurred Mon
day evening in the upper part of the
city. About 10 o'clock the almost
perfectly clear atmosphere gave way
to sublime-llke fog, which settled down
very suddenly in distinct and SEEM
ingly solid stratum. The descent was
rapid, and every portion of the cloud
of vapor reached the earth at the
same instant. The phenomenon con-
tinued only about five minutes, when
the body disappeared heavenward as
rapidly as it had descended. Albany

ALUM AND AMMONIA IN OUR BREAD.
A nuisance that troubled England
fifty years ago is now rapidly spread
ing in this country, that is putting
Alum in the bread we eat. This
question is causing great deal OF
discussion at the present moment,
as it is revealed that alum is being used
as a substitute for cream of tartar in
baking powders. A story is told
that very large percentage of the
baking powders sold On the market
contain either alum or ammonia,
and many of them contain both these
pernicious drugs. Much timely alarm
is felt at the wholesale use of alum in
bread, biscuit and pastry. To young
children, growing girls, persons of
weakly frame alum bread eaten morn
ing noon and evening is the most
harmful. 1t is the small quantities
taken at every meal that do the
mischief. Alum is cheap, costing but
