the bookkeeper one morning when he
was late, ''but it's dandy-private hall,
steam heat, outside windows, freseoed
ceilings, stained glass entrance, and al
that sort of thing, you know. It's a
gem"
Three days later he trotted in three
quarters Of an hour late, with piece Of
red flannel around his neck and voice
like bullfrog in autunn.
"I can put up with Inconvenience,
he said, 'but when can get a view Of
the North river through crack IN the
wall, fly a kite in the private hall and
knock icicles of the steam radiators

his nose looked like q queer shaped pur-
pie plum. When be got his breath he
continued:
''The janitOr only runs five pounds OF
steam, and shuts of that as well as the
water at Q every night, and this morning
the servant couldn't draw enough water
from eight faucets to moisten a tea

In Polk county, Neb, ara many wells
which exhibit a very peculiar phenomena
Of intermittancc. They vary from 100 to
14o feet indepth, and all ebb and flow eitheE
irregularly or as regular as tides on an
ocean beach. The fowl accompanied By
a roaring sound like that Of the sea, as
though q distant wave were coming in, and
at the same time a stiff current Of air
rushes out at the mouth of the we'll Fhe
ebb is accompanied by downward draft
Of air, as might naturally be supposed.
The period Of ebb and flow does not seem
to depend upon the heat or cold or upon
the dampness or dryness Of the atmosphere.
Some Of the owners of these queer wells
believe them to be in some way cnnneceed
with the waters Of the Platte river, while
others, with equally as good grounds for
their suppositions, -deelare them TO be in
direct communication with the ocean,

m. Koch Lymph and typhoid Fever.

The Koch Lymph and Typhoid Fever.
A comparison Of the natural course of
typhoid fever with the process Of cure
Of lupus, as described by Koch, shows
many striking points Of resemblance.
The lupus extends because the tissue in
which the tubercle bacilli are developed
is not sharply limited, as in the case of the
intestinal glands. The poison generated
by thetubercle bacilli in lupus is not taken
in quantity into the blood, and there is
no elevation in body heat, or reaction,
such as occurs in pulmonary tuber-
culosis. Heretofore the disease has fire.
quently been cured by removing the dis
eased tissues or by destroying the bacili
by external applications. Following the
injection there is a strong constitutional
reaction, and the affected parts appar-
emily become inhamed, as do the affected
parts in the early stages Of typhoid
fever. The diseased tissue then becomes
"brownish and necrotic." This also oc-
ours in typhoid fever. The neerotic tis-
sue is then thrown off, leaving a healthy
ulcer which promptly heals. The same
process takes place in typhoid fever

FRIaHTFUL FRAUDS IN room.

FRIGHTFUL FRAUDS IN FOOD.
I have often spoken to you about faith
but now speak to you about works, fol-
faith without works is dead" think
YOU will agree with me in the statement
that the great want Of this world is more
practical religion. We want practical re
ligion to go into all merchandise. 1t will
supervise the labelling of goods 1t will not
allow a man to say thing was made in
one factory when it was made in another.
It will not allow the merchant to say that
watch was manufactured in Geneva,
| Switzerland, when it was manufactured in
/ Massachusetts,. It will not allow the
merchant to say that wine came from Ma
deira when it came from California. Prac-
tical religion will walk along by the store
shelves and tear off all the tags that make
MISREPRESENTATION. 1t will not allow the
/ merchant to say that is pure coffee when
! dandeliOn root and ehicory and other in-
/ gradients go into it. 1t will not allow him
/ to say that is pure sugar when there are in
/ it sand and ground glass.
4 When practical religion gets its full
\ swing in the world it will 60 down the
streets, and it will come to that shoe store
I and rip off the fictitious soles Of many a
fine looking pair of shoes, and show that it
Is pasteboard sandwiched between the
sound leather. And this practical religion
will go right into a grocery store, and it
viii pull out the plug of all the adulterated
sirups, and it will dump into the ash
barrel in front of the store the cassia
bark that is sold for cinnamon and the
brick dust that is sold for cayenne pepper,
and it will shake out the PFussian blues
from the tea leaves, and it viii sift from
the flour plaster Of Paris and bone dust
and soapstone, and it will by chemical
analysis separate the one quart of Ridge
wood water from the few honest drops Of
cows milk, and it viii throw out the live
animalcules from the brown sugar
There has been so much adulteration Of
articles of food that it is an amazement to
me that there is a healthy man or woman
in America Heaven only knows what
they put into the spices, and into the
sugars. and into the butter, and into the
apothecary drugs But chemical analysis
and the microscope have made wonderful
revelations. The board of health in Massa-
chusetts analysed a great amount Of what
was called pure coffee and found in it not
one particle of coffee. In England there is
law that forbids the putting Of alum in
bread. The public authorities examined
fifty-one packages of bread and found
them all guilty. The honest physician,
writing prescription, does not know but
that it may bring death instead Of health
to his patient, because there may be one OF
the drugs weakened by cheaper article,
and another drug may be in full force, and
SO the prescription may have just the op-
posite effect intended Oil of wormwood,
warranted pure, from Boston, was found to
have Al per cent. Of resin and alcohol and
chloroform. Scammony is one Of the most
valuable medical drugs. It is very rare,
very precious It is the sap or the gum Of

New York's Republican Candidate for
 Governor Warmly Received at Elmira.
 ELMIRA, N. Y, Sep. 1.-The citizens of this place. MT. Fassett's home, gave the young candidate a reception upon his return from Rochester last night.
 Thousands thronged the. streets and the passage from the station to his home was one grand ovation. His friends of all political persuasions joined heartily in showering congratulations upon him for the distinguished honor just placed upon him by the Republican convention. The streets were brilliantly illuminated and rockets scared in thousands from the rejoicing city.
 Mr. Fassett was evidently proud of his reception. When introduced to the cheering throng he spoke of his early life in the town and how his love for it had grown with his growth. He concluded his speech as follows:
 "I want you to lay aside prejudice and passion. 1 have one purpose and that Is that this shall be absolutely, purely a campaign of education and organization. No personal detraction, no person al abuse, no holding up the light of false issues, no federation of falsehoods and misrepresentations."

TOO MANY WIVES.
He Loses His Property and Finds Himself
 in Jail for Non-suppOrt.

in Jail for Non-support
 WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Sep. 1.-The old and well known physician here, J. G. Spearling, who is now in jail for non support of one of his wives, has been particularly unfortunate in his martial relations In 1867 he married a Miss Lucie A. Breese, but they did not agree and soon separated. Some years after the doctor obtained a divorce in a Western State, and afterwards married again.
 The first wife at once brought suit against him for bigamy, claiming that the divorce was illegally obtained. The courts decided in her favor, declared the divorce illegal and ordered the doctor to pay $50 per month alimony.
 The annulment of the second marriage drove wife No. 2 to the courts and she entertained suit against the unlucky physician for trespass. She obtained a judgement against him for $9,OOO, an execution was issued and the doctors s property sold by the sheriff, chus leaving him unable to support his first wife.
