Surprising corpulent person to be diet

weight daily. II by the use of little
medicine he quickens the action of tho
kidneys and bowels, and so increases the
elimination of the waste, his reduction in
weight will be much more rapid.
Experiments made by the writer upon
himself will serve as an illustration. In
trying to reduce his weight ne found. after
time, that notwithstanding be was living
upon the smallest possible quantity of food
consistent with strength and his diet was
carefully selected, he could not pull off
more than pound of flesh per week. He
then commenced taking two rbubarb pills
and half pint of hot water at bed time,
and on rising a teaspoonful of Carlsbad
salts in a cupful of hot water.
This treatment be persisted in for a week,
during which time a reduction of five
pounds in weight was effected without loss
of strength, and there was a decided inn
prevement in the general health and men

elimination of waste was greatly increased.
Not only were the kidneys aud bowels
made TO do more work, but the liver and

Small but Numerous.

The minute forms found in TIE chalk
and the remains of infusoria in the tripoli,
although averaging about the Is, 0OOth Of
an inch in length, are colossal in size when
compared with the smallest organisms
known TO naturalists. The very name OF
these mites is uggestive-monad, the one,
the unit. The purest water, after being
strained and filtered through the fnest
sieve or filter that can be made by the hand
of man. when examined under the highest
powers OF the microscope, is seen 10 be
composed of a mass of monads.
These tiny animals were long looked
upon as the ultimate molecules OF matter.
They are in reality living atoms, aud can
only be revealed by means OF the most
powerful lenses, while illuminated with
concentrated light. They are found every
where; IN the air we breathe, in the waite
we drink and in all the juices of animals
and plants. A single drop of water con-
talns more monsds than there are human
beings on the whole earth.-Maoon Teie-

which the minstrel CLEANS his stock. He
was born in st. Louis in 1854, lived IN
Brooklyn during his boyhood, and was
educated at Stockbridge. After some
experience as surveyor he entered
journalism, being employed first on a
railroad paper, and later taking charge
of a New York weekly. He has done
much dramatic work and has a large
acquaintance.
Mr.. Ford thinks "The Autocrat Of the
Breakfast Table" about the best type of
the most advanced American humor,
and speaks of George T. Lanigan, the
great American fable writer, as one of
the best humorists the country ever pro-
duced. Mr.. Ford's sketches in Puck
have attracted so much attention that
he expects to put them in book form
soon. This book" says writer in the
New York Sun speaking of Ford, twill
be interesting, but not half so queer as
well written book about Ford himself
would be. He represents the Bohemian
ism of today; quaint, cratic, sober, in
dustrious, but as intolerant of the har-
ness of discipline as the Bohemians Of
earlier days" Tom MASON,

White Squaw Very Brave.

! The early annals of the west abound in
anecdotes of fortitude under suffering and
heroism in circumstances Of peril among
the wives and mothers of the early pioneers.
Many were the instances in which, when
their cabins were attacked by the savages,
these brave women displayed wonderful
courage and presence of mind. In Decem-
Der, 1871, small party of Indians attacked
the dwelling house Of Mr.. John Merrill in
Nelson county, KY.
Mr.. Merrill was alarmed by the barking
of his dog, and opened the door to see what
was the matter, when he received the fire
of seven or eight Indians, by which his leg
and arm were broken.
The Indians at once attempted to enter
the house, but Mrs. Merrill and her daugh-
ter shut the door against them. Then
they hewed away piece of the door, and
one of them wedged himself part way
through the opening. The heroic mother
dealt him fatal blow with an AK, and
hauled him through the passage into the
house
The savages, unaware of the fate of
their companion, and supposing that they
had now nearly succeeded in their object,
rushed forward. One by one they pushed
themselves through the door, and were de-
spatched and drawn inside by Mrs. Merrill,
till five dead Indians were in the house.
Then the others outside discovered what
was going on.
They retired for a few minutes, but soon
returned and renewed their efforts to force
an entrance. Despairing of succeeding at
the door they attempted to descend the
chimney. Mr.. Merrill heard them, and
anticipating their design, ordered his small
son to cut open feather bed and throw
the feathers on the fire.
Two of the Indians were already descend
ing the wide mouthed chimney. The
smoke and heat from the burning feathers
greeted them most unpleasantly. Chok-
ing, coughing and well nigh suffocated,
they came tumbling down into the rooml
Mr.. Merrill seized billet of wood and
despatched the half smothered redskins,
and Mrs. Merrill in the meantime was de-
Tending the door against the efforts of a
single savage. Finally he, being wounded,
retired, and the family were not disturbed
again that night.
A prisoner who escaped from the Indians
soon afterward stated that the wounded
savage was the only one of his party Of
eight braves that escaped. When he re-
turned and was asked, What news2" he
answered:
Bad news for Indian; me lose sou, me
lose broder. White squaw very brave; she
fight better than Long Knives "-the
name given to the white men by the In
dams because Of their long swords

Sailing a Wager.

Mr.. and Mrs. Billus had an argument
the other day.
Il tell you, Maria" said Mr.. Billus, "you
are mistaken. There are only four chill
dren in the Whilbs family"
II know what am talking about, John.
There are fve," replied his wife.
'If you were man I'd bet you ten dol
lars on it,"
You needn't hesitate on that account,
John. I'll take the bet.'

Done"
Mrs. Billus ran over TO Mrs. Whilks'
and returned in a few minutes rather crest
fallen.
You were right, John" she said.
There are only four children"
Mr.. Billus reached into his left trousers
pocket, took out ten dollar bill and trans
ferred it leisurely into his right trousers
pocket
Let this be a warning to you, Maria"
he said, with much severity. "and don't be
too sure about things hereafter. - Chicago

Tommy Stringer, the fve-year-old
deaf, dumb and blind boy in whom the
good citizens of Pittsburg have taken so
deep an interest, is now in the Perkins
institute, of Boston. His case, so pitt
fully similar to her own, aroused the
sympathy of little Helen Keller, the
deaf, dumb and blind child of Tuscum-
bia, Ala. When she was in Pittsburg
two years ago, Benjamin Wade, of HUI
ton, gave her splendid mastiff to which
she became very much attached. The
dog was killed recently, and she was al
most heartbroken. Hearing of her loss
MIR. Wade sent her another dog and
thirty-tive dollars.

After lunch we passed through beauti-
full piece Of bottom land, teeming with
flowers, red and yellow monthly musk,
ringing the banks Of the stream where it
spread out over tho meadow in dozen
different channels Charlie wanSed to stop
and take up I'D acres, but Campbell told
him "Too much plenty snow in winter"
and after vsinly trying to drink the creek
dry we passed on. Another turn brought
rs to she base Of a steep, bare, stony noun
tain. Skirting this and climbing over some
big rocks, we suddenly came into lovely
grass country. Like the prairie in the sum-
Eaer, every conceivable flower seemed to
bloom and blossom in the grass; the place
was ablaze with red, blue, yellow and white
We must have passed through 500 or 600
acres Of it, and every here and there rip
ping stream ran widely through it. The
place was a perfect paradise, and, thank
goodnessl We had got out OF the dark valley,
and stood IN the bright, warm sunshine.
Wewere now close to the head OF the Quill
Gene, and we eagerly pressed on. Presently
we met dog, and close after him his mas
ter, whe turned out to be Mr.. Ransom, go
Townsend. He gave us cheerful accounts
of the elk, and also kindly took letter into
town for us. At $50 we camped under
Sentinel rock, about mile from the divide
This rock stands boldly out alone, like
massive fortress. guarding the entrance to
the valley of the Dungeness.
Suddenly the mountain sides seemed to
be alive with men whistling to one another

only to hear another and shriIler wheW!-
on the other side; and soon we saw lots Of
animals, about the size of fox, with long
bushy tails, running about from rock to
rock, sometimes lying down, but more of
ten sitting bolt up, erect, like ferret does.
We shot a couple of small ones that night
and aft+rward shot several more, larger
ones. Campbell called them whistling dogs,
and declared they were good to eat, butthe
smell was enough for us. Their odor is
peculiar, but not fragrant. They have two
long teeth in front like a beaver, and feet
almost shaped like a squirrels feet
believe their right name is mountain
beaver. Wherever we went afterward in
the mountains. as long as there was grass,
we saw these whistling dogs, as we got to
call them. [ liked to see them; they seemed
to make the place cheerful and lively, and
were very amusing to watch. In winter
they have long burrows under the snow,
and their coats get a dark gray; in sum-
mer they are yellow. Their skins should
make good fur, and 1 think would pay for
icing trapped in the winter months. Our
;ltitude this night was 5,45O feet, anu We
ehristened the place ''Stony Camp" from
the terribly stony ground we had to sleep
on The night was warm until aboQs

were almost frozen. w hatcom Reveille.

The SMALLEST Flowcring Plant.

The smallest Towering plant is Wolffia
microscopic, native of India. 1t belongs
to the duckweed family. 1t is almost
microscopic in size, destitute of proper
stem, leaves and roots, but having these
organs merged in ono, forming frond.
There is a prolongation of the lower sur
face, the purpose of which seems to be to
enable the plant to float upright in the
water.
The fronds multiply by sending out
other fronds from a slit or concavity, and
with such rapidity does this take place
that a few days often suffice to produce
from a few individuals enough similar
ones to cover many square rods of pond
surface with the minute green granules.
Small as these plants are they bear flow
