The Western Settlers Chosen
Specific,

With every advance of emigration into the
far West. new demand is created for Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bittcrs. Newly peopled regions
are frequently less salubrious than older set
tied localities. on account of the miasma which
rises from recently cleared land, particularly
along the banks of rivers that are subject to
freshets. he agricultural or mining emigrant
soon learns, when he does not already know,
that the Bitters afford the only sure protection
against malaria, and those disorders of the
stomach, liver aud bowels, to which climatic
changes, exposure and unaccustomed or uu-
healthy water or diet subject him. Conse-
quently. he places an estimate upon this great
household specific and preventive commensu-
rate with its intrinsic merits, and is careful to
keep on hand restorative and promoter of
health so implicitly to be relied upon in time
of need.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Confederate Veterans of the
Valley.

At meeting of the SGen. Turner
Ashby Camp, No. %, of Winchester.
Virginia." acting under charter
from the Grand Camp of Virginia,
the following address was ordered to
be printed and sent out with each ap-
plication for membership:
OBJzcT 1-Our object is to perpet-
uate the memories of our fallen com
rades, and to minister, as far as prac-
ticable, to the wants of those who
were permanently disabled in the SER
vice, to preserve and maintain that
sentiment of fraternity born of the
hardships and dangers shared on the
Sarch, the bivouac and the battle
field.
1t is proposed not to prolong the
animosities engendered by the war,
but to extend to our late adversaries,
on every fitting occasion, courtesies
which are always proper between SOL
diers, and which, in our case, COM
mon citizenship demands at our
hands. We propose to avoid any
thing which partakes of partisanship
in religion and politics, but at the
same time we will lend our aid to the
maintenance of law and preservation
of order.
OBJECT 2-Conscious of how rap
idly our Roll-Call is growing less it
is both our privilege and duty to use
at once all means in our power to col
lect and preserve facts for the use of
the historian and writer by obtaining
them from living witnesses and ac-
tors, and TO this end our Camp is
pledged.
APPEAL-With the above brief
statement of our aims-leaving minor
details to the decision of future and
more perfect organization-we now
most earnestly invite and urge you
to join us in our good work. Be.
lieving that this appeal to 1.-The Vet.
erans will not be in vain, we are
fraternally yours,

Lake Winnineg Wolves.

In the winter Of 1890 deer were rnusu.
ally scarce in the forests east of Lake
Winnipeg. A wet, cold summer had de.
stroyed an uncOmmOnly large proportion
Of faWns. Consequently, wolves were
without their accustomed food supply.
Their distress made them forget their
fear Of human beings.
One morning in January news reached
Winnipeg City that a band numbering
100 wolves had slain many Indian hunt
ers along the east shore. This turned
out to be true.
Several Of the men We're caught on
foot. One climbed a tree and shot
twenty wolves. Another dubbed dozen
to death before they pulled him down.
One hunter mounted a platform erected
on poles for the purpose of keeping skins
above the reach of wild beasts and ver-
min. He had hardly begun firing when
the wolves pressed and leaped about the
posts in such numbers that they threw
down the platform and tore the man to
pieces.
The same band had visited other
camps. How many Indians in all were
devoured could not be exactly ascer-
tanned, as more than one hunting party
was said to have been completely wiped
out.-1Outh's Companion.

Why Girls Are Tall.

Why are there so many tall girls now
adays, and WHY'S the tendency of the new
generation toward unusual height and
gracious slimness? Women are tall and
becoming tall simply because it is the
fashion, and that statement never needs
nor is capable of any explanation. Awhile
ago it was the fashion to be petite and
arch; it is now the fashion to be tall and
gracious, and nothing more can be said
about it. OF course the reader, who is
usually inclined to find the facetious side
of any grave topic, has already thought

We are offering a handsome Parlor Suit

How the Pyramids Were Built.

A moneyed man, who was looking at
the process of laying an artificial stone
pavement in front of one of his many
properties, startled the friends who were
standing about him by remarking, II
believe that the Egyptian pyramids were
built in just that way" Pressed for an
explanation, he said that while he had
never been in Egypt he had read the
works of all Psychologists, including
Brugsch and Piazzi Smyth, and had
never found in any of them a theory
which would satisfactorily account for
the manner in which the pyramids were
constructed.
Now" he said, you must remember
that the pyramids are built of stone
which bears no resemblance to anything
found within 800 miles OF their location.
1t is incredible that the Egyptians of
four or five thousand years ago should
have possessed the mechanical ingenuity
to move these enormous blocks of stone
from the granite Quarries of Abyssinia
or Syria to the pyramids. Is it not much
more natural to suppose that the ancient
Egyptians possessed the secret of max
ny dlLlucldl SCOhe, ana IhaI the pyra-
mids were constructed by layer upon
layer Of Nile river mud, hardened by
just such processes as we employ to
make artificial stone?
at is a much more plausible explana-
ton of their construction than the la
borious and unintelligent suggestions
that the stones were carried across the
desert to form the foundation and base
or the pyramids. | firmly believe that
the Egyptians Of the ante-C Christian era
understood the manufacture of artificial
stone, and that they built the pyramids
out of it. '-Philadelphia Press.
