What Your Great Grandmothe Did.

She hetcheled the flax and carded
the wool, aud wove the linen, and
spun the tow, and made the clothes
for her husband and ten children.
She made butter and cheese, she dip
ped tallow candles, to light the house
at night, and she cooked all the food
for her household by an open fire
place and brick oven. Yes; and
when she was forty years of age, she
was already an old lady whose b ,st
days were over. Her shoulders were
bent and her joints enlarged by hard
work, and she wore spectacles and a
cap. Her great granddaughter, with
all the modern conveniences for com
fort. refinement and luxury, may be
as charming and attractive at forty
five as at twenty. Especially is this
true if she preserves her health and
beauty by the use of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, which wards off
all female ailments and irregularities,
cures them if they already exist, keeps
the life current healthful and vigor-
Gus, and enables the woman Of mid
die age to retain the freshness of girl
hood upon brow and cheek, the Zig hit
of youth in her eyes, and its elasticity
in her step. Sold by all druggists.

Delays are Dangerous.

There are those who are morbidiy
anxious about their health, watching
every symptom and dosing themselves
on the slightest provocation. There
are Others who never give the matter
a thought, but permit real symptoms
to lapse into the certainties of disease.
Between these two extremes the wise
man steers-never unduly anxious,
and yet not permitting genuine symp-
toms to develop. He knows that de-
lays are dangerous, and be knows,
moreover, that the medicine most like
w to be effective is that which goes
straight to the seats of disease, and
tones up the digestive organs,
strengthens the system and purifies
the blood. He takes few doses of
S. s. s., and soon finds that all the
symptoms have disappeared, and that
he is in better condition than ever.
The great vegetable remedy has no

Death of Large Young Woman.

a funeral and burial took place at
Newton, ILL.,, some days ago which
attracted more than the usual amount
Of attention on account of the size
of the person who had died. Miss
Rosetta KILLER died at the home of
her father, John +. kibler, promi-
nent Jasper county farmer. AT the
time of her death she was nineteen
years of age and weighed sos pounds,
being without doubt one of the larg-
est persons known, considering her
age She is supposed to have died OF
pneumonia, probably coupled with
fatty degeneration. Her growth had
been most marked during the last
five years. Being very modest girl,
her size was source OF worry and
anxiety to her, SO much so that for
three or four years previous to her
death she could not be induced to
accompany her parents TO the neigh
boring village, where they did their
marketing. Some idea of her size
may be formed from the fact that
when living she was unable to pass
through an ordinary door without
turning side wise. When she died it
was necessary to have coffin special
" constructed. The coffin as con
structed measured feet in length,
feet in width and 81 inches in depth,
and when the coffin was removed
from the house it was necessary to
take out the side of the room. The
strength of ten men, with the assist
ance of handspikes and skids, was
required to load the remains into II
wagon.

A Temperance Study.

On a ranch near Fresno, Cal, in the
foot hills, lives VIM. Stephenson, who
makes good wine from his vineyard.
One Of his tenants, named Moreford,
a few DAYS ago had violent quarrel
with his wife because he came home
drunk from the winery. She declared
house. Moreford returned to the
wine cellar, where he lay in drunken
stupor for several days. Saturday
Mrs. Moreford returned and found
her spouse still In the wine cellar ly-
ing on the floor with a bowl of An
gelica at his side When she saw the
plight he was in her wrath was
kindled and she opened the faucets
of all the ~ wine barrels and six bar
rels of vinegar and several of molasses
and let the deluge pour. Her hus-
band was too intoxicated to help
himself. AS the wine, vinegar and
molasses began to soak him he
howled and swore, but the floodgates
were left open and the cellar rapidly
filled with the contents Of the barrels.
Fortunately it did not get deep
enough to drown him before it flowed
out over the doorsill His wife
found h safe perch on the top of a
barrel and deliberately let him take
his chances for life. The wine aud
vinegar escaped down a gutterway
toward the creek, 40 yards distant.
Thirty or forty Indians, who were
near, drank of the stuff, yelling III can
while, and all became drunk. This
frightened Moreford into sobriety,
and his cure is complete.

A Liberal Proposition.

Who has not heard of that paragon
of family papers, the enterprising and
popular weekly Detroit Free Press?
For a generation its name has been u
household word and has become a
synonym for all that is excellent, pure
and elevating in journalism. 1t is Ge-
lightfully entertaining, without resort
to cheap sentimentalIsm, instructive
without being prosy or pedantic.
Combining the literary qualities of
the expensive magazine with the
bright. breezy characteristics Of the
newspaper, it leaves nothing TO be de-
sired by the average reader. 1t is
looked upon as welcome visitor by
every family who reads it, while
thousands regard it as Indispensable
and would on no account go without
it. An enormous circulation of l25, 900
copies per week attests its wonderful
popularity. Recognizing the fact
that there are those who are unfamil-
lar with its surprising merits as
home paper, the publishers offer to
send the Free Press TO them for the
balance of this year lover five months
for only 30 cents-a club of four for
S1.00 or a club of ten for $500. All
our readers should subscribe at once.
Sample copies free.

THE Farmers Alliance seems to be
having trouble just now. There are
divisions in the party, and the sub
treasury plan, which seemed so pop
ular at first, is meeting with much
opposition. The Texas State Alliance
has declared against the sub-treasury
and land-loan schemes and the gov
ernmental ownership of railroads,
and has adopted resolutions against
them. Then there is strong feeling
against DIR. G. w. Macune, the pub
Usher Of the Alliance organ, the
National Economist 1t is openly
charged that he is in the employ of
the Wall-street monopolists and
traitor to the Alliance cause, and
great many Alliance men evidently
believe the charges. Such troubles
of course, are to be expected in all
organizations, but they need not be
fatal or even harmful. On the con-
trary, judicious wedding out Of false
friends and unwise measures will
eventually prove a benefit to the or
der.

Lived On Human Flesh.

A little three-column newspaper ar
rived in New York last week which
bore the most sensational news when
it probably ever printed.
The newspaper was printed Oh June
1, and was from the State OF Chihua-
hua, Santa Rosalia, South America:
A translation Of the article referred
to is as follows:
AT Salinas, in the State of Minas,
Brazil. Il man named Clemente Nielra
has been arrested, charged with eat
ing human flesh.
The editor of the local paper, CIda
de Leopoldina. visited Vieira in 1ai.
and had the following interview with
him:
as it true that you nourish your
self on human fesh?'' was asked.
'Yes. SIR" answered the prisoner.
For some time | and my friends Ba-
silio. Leandro and others have eaten
human flesh. We lived on it,"
What motive has impelied you to
such barbarous acts before God and
MANI
Because we liked it,"
Glow did you secure the first vic
tim!"
with the utmost frankness Vieira
replied Upon going one day to
Leandro's house he invited me to eat
a piece of dead child. | had had
nothing to eat; was hungry, and ac-
cepted the invitation.
The following day, while return
ing to my house, l found woman
asleep by the roadside. The thought
came to me to kill her. | did so, us
ing stone as my weapon. | took
the body to my home. After some
days | killed Simplisio and invited
Francisco and Severa to hell me eat
him. When Simplisio's flesh was con
sumed, having no other resource, it
occurred to me to kill his two sons
for further supply of food. With
two blows the deed was done. The
flesh of the two children lasted us Il
fortnight.
After this time had elapsed, being
thrown again into the old predica-
ment of having nothing TO eat, Basilio
and myself killed Francisco and de
voured him. Finally, having discov-
cred that Basillio had stolen shirt
| from me, | killed him while he was
off his guard, engaged in preparing
some roots for his supper. | ate very
little of him, for l was caught two
DAYS after l had killed him"
Vieira was captured in the very act
of making meal of portion Of
Basilio's remains, which he was
devouring with evident relish. The
soldiers found part of Basilio'
hody packed away in barrel, pre-
pared with pepper and salt.
Then has human flesh an agreea
BILE taste?" Vieira was asked.
No" he replied. lit is too sweet.
The parts found the most toothsomt
were the tongue and the brain. Nc
doubt my stomach was turned eact
time | partook of human flesh"
How did you prepare the flesh fol
eating?''
I'VE ate it roasted or boiled, seas
oned with salt and great deal o.
pepper. ~, .,,o ,o,o;os Of van,
victims inspire you with fear?'
Somewhat; yet the sight of then
did not affect us, but the fear of de
lection did
And do you sleep calmly now?'
Yes, ever so TRANQUILITY"
do you ever feel remorse at hav
ing been guilty of such deeds?'
"Icannot remember that | ever do,
Vieira replied. .
Vieira, the newspaper states, vii
have a trial.
