TAKING SNUFF in ICELAND.

The Natives Use a Sort Of Pepper
Box to Get 1t Into Their Noses.
The Icelandic luxury that seems
most popular among the men is snuff,
and they have the most astonishing
method of taking it yet discovered by
man, with all the ingenuity that has
been exercised in titillating the nerves
of the nose with'tobacco powder. The
Icelander takes his snuff from a horn

from the horn.
Now the Icelander clasps the horn

next his little finger; and, in case of an
extra large horn,% extending beyond

Decisions,

Strange as it may seem, says Elec-
tricity, there are auditory as we'll as
optical decisions. Every subscriber
has two or three girls in his mind
whom he considers active and oblig-
ing. He has absolutely no means of
knowing who they Ire but he thinks
he can tell them by their voices, and
gets irritable when they are off duty.
AS an illustration, not long ago atele-
phone official had reason to call on a
prominent subscriber, who devoted
considerable time to dilating on the
efficiency of his girl. He lauded her to
heights delightful, and had thought of
recommending her to a friend for a
lucrative position. The case was
reported to the manager, who, upon
investigation, found that the very
knowing but we'll meaning gentleman
was bewitched by the general sweet
ness of the telephone office voice. The
line, being a particularly. light one,
had no regular operator 4, and as a
general rule no less than ten differ
ent girls handled the wire in a day.
But he knew 'his girl" every time,
which speaks we'll for the vocal sys-
TEN in use for training voices.

Not "Microcoool."

Professor Brieger, of the Berlin Med
ical Institute, reports an exchange,
was busily at work in his laboratory,
surrounded by a formidable array OF
chemical and archaeological utensils.
Adistinguished foreignphysician called
upon him, and watched his absorbing
labor with interest.
The professors attention seemed to
be anxiously, but still hopefully, con-
cent? ated on a vessel which was en-
veloped in smoke and steam.
"Guess what I am boiling here" said
the professor.

It ia said that nothing stamps the

OF adjectives and adverbs. Andy
Trumbull was O. popular merchant in
a small way, but in an evil hour he
committed a forgery, which was dis

He was tried at the next term OF
court, and Ephriam Blair was among
those who went over to the county
seat to hear. the trial.
"Well?"said his wife, on his return.

"Land suz!n, cried Mrs. Blair. GLOW

"Well,"" said Ephriam, refectively,

~ ALUM AND AMMONIA

Dr.. d. Endcmann. for twelve years chemist of the
New York. Board Of Health, in his paper read before the
American Chemical Society at Washington, in October,
1871, states that an ammonia baking powder acts on tho
gluten Of the -four, altering it's chemical properties, and
cites numerous high authorities to prove its injurious
effect on the stomach and kidneys.
Liebig the great chemist says: "The use OF alum IN
bread is very injurious, and it is very apt to disorder
the stomach and occasion acidity and dyspepsia"

THE LOGICAL OUTCOME.

The Omaha Bee, speaking of the late Republican convention, truthfully says
 The nomination of Benjamin Harrison was the logical outcome of the situation. It was demanded as a just acknowledgement of his great services to the country, and by every con sideration Of political expediency. It was called for by thoughtful and fair-minded Re publicans, who believed that, without dispar aging the eminent statesman who was put forth to contest the nomination, whose name all Republicans honor, and whose fame every American citizen could be proud of, he would not have commanded, as a candidate, the sup port that Sill by given President Harrison.
 This is true. While Blaine is popular the world over, he is weak in places and where he is weak Harrison IS strong, Blaine lost New York in 1884, and he could not carry the Empire state now. MT. Harrison carried the great state against the "man oi destiny" |" who had the machinery of the Nation at his command, and who was the idol of bis party-the only Moses for quar- ter of century. This achievement will be repeated. Mir. Harrison win carry Indiana. With Blaine the task would be exceedingly doubtful. In every state where Blaine is weak, there Harrison shows his strength.
 The convention, recognizing these facts, wisely named tho strongest man, and their wisdom will be crowned with victory next November.
