There is one thing that the majority
Of men are addicted to in time Of epi-
denies or prevalent diseases, says the
Chicago Tribune. That is to cut from
their newspaper remedies which are
printed for whatever the prevailing dis
ease may be. just now it is the grip.
If you have occasion to ask the average
man for anything which causes him to
unload his pockets, and you notice care
fully, you will discover that he has scv-
eral recipes for the grip. I have had
several instances Of this kind appear to
mo-. Men you would never suspect Of
being afraid Of sickness Of any kind. A
clergyman was at the house Of one Of
his members the other day for luncheon.
He left his hat where It became the
plaything Of little child and the curl
osity Of the youngster caused 1t to turn
the sweatband of the hat, and in doing
80 an extract from a newspaper tum-
bled out. The child's mother replaced
it before the minister had time to dis
cover what had been done, and as she
did so she noticed that it was a news
paper prescription for the grip. There
is no reason why a minister should not
be prepared to doctor himself on short
notice the same as other mortals, but
as rule they do. not admit that they
have any such concern. I was talking
to a judge Of the superior court one day
this week and he had occasion to pull
from his pocket lot Of papers. saw
that one was newspaper clipping on
the quickest way to cure the grip.

The Extremely ycnomous Nature OF ~
Cobra's Bite.
A vivid notion Of the intensity Of q
cobra's venom is given by the expe-
rience Of DIR. Francis 7. Buckland, says
the Washington Post. He put a rat into
a cage with snake of that species, and
it was killed after plucly fight. Upon
examining the skin of the dead rat inn
mediately afterward, he found two very
minute punctures, like small need1of

that he was poisoned, and so lost mo-

Kings are supposed to govern, but, !
like other men, some of them have been
passionately fond of some more COM

of the most curious:

adept at filing needles, whilst Eropus, :

Among the Tenements of New York."
But he found some things therein to
tickle his sense of humor, and other
things at which he laughed that he
might not weep. One evening while
going through Mott street.-the Chinese
quarter-he heard a woman shrielting
in cellar. Descending with his COM
panion, q policeman, he discovered
Chinaman beating his white "wife"
with broom handle.
''She velly bad," shouted the China
man, as the two Americans, prejudiced
against wife beating, caught hold of
his arms and released the woman.
"S'pCse your wifee bad, you no liclSee
her?" he asked, turning fiercely upon
Mr.. Rus.
"No, wouldn't I'd never think of
striking a woman" answered the
American.
The amazed Chinaman eyed him in
silence for moment and then con-
temptuously answered:
"Then guess she lickee you"
Going into joss house he discovered
among the Chinese scrawls on the
walls the inscription in English letters:

from the trade dollar, and the priest

no Clocks In Liberia.

Explorer Buttikoffer says that a
clock is rarely seen in the farm houses
of Liberia, and many of the town peo-
pie have no time pieces. He adds that
there are few civilized countries where
timepiece can be dispensed with SO
conveniently. The sun rises at six a.
IN. and sets at six p. m. almost to the
minute throughout the year, and at
noon it is directly overhead. Many of
the people become SO expert in telling
time by the sun that they are rarely
more than quarter of an hour in
error. In place of alarm clocks they
depend upon the growing cock to arouse
them in the morning.

Opiunn in India.

A missionary in Bengal has been doing
the opium dens in the town of Rampore
Bauaeah. Most of the smokers he saw
belonged to the laboring classes. With
one accord the smokers told him that
the drug dried up their bodies and that
their craving for it was such that they
could not give it up. Many of the dens
have hundred patrons day. The
missionary says opium-smoking in
India is bringing ruin and degradation
upon innumerable families, and he ac-
cuses the British government of foster
ing this demoralizing habit.

at is a great deal easier to get pensions
now," said Colonel William Reed last
night, ethan it was in the times of our
grandfathers. The other day was in
Washington talking to Senator Quay, and
he convinced me of that fact. He showed
me number of papers that had come into
his possession from some of his ancestors.
"The papers tell a good story. One of
the senator's ancestors, who lived in Vir-
ginia, and fought in both the revolution
airy and colonial wars, wanted a pension.
He applied for it during the winter of )8.
At that time aid was Ouly given to sol
diers who could prove that they were pow
erty-stricken. An application for a pen
sion then was handled very much like
a request for aid from a poor board is now.
Quay's relative proved his need, but today
the papers are a ludiorOus thing to US. He
stated that his sole possessions consisted
of twelve acres of land and two slaves. The
land was so beastly poor that it would not
raise white beans. The cOlored men were
of less value, according to his statement.
The one was a rheumatic man of sixty
eight, and the other was boy of sixteen
years, hearty and strong, but he was of no
use to his master, as it took all of his time
to attend to the wants of his rheumatic
friend. The application further showed
that al the time the fore-father of the SEN
ator asked for aid all he had between him
and starvation was the skinny ham of his
razor backed shoat. The old gentleman
got his pension. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

A person usually desires to gain some in
formation as to the most desirable route to
take, and will purchase tickets via the one
that will afford him the quickest and best
service. Before starting on a trip to
Chicago or any point east, you should pro-
vide yourself with a map and time table of
the Wisconsin Central lines. The trains
run on this route are vesHbuled and are
equipped with Pullman's latest drawing
room sleepers, elegant day coaches and
dining cars of latest design, built expressly
for this service, and are exquisite in furn-
ishings and convenient and comfortable in
arrangement and so complete in every
detail that they have no superior in COM
fort and elegance. The dining car service
is pronounced by all the most elegant ever
inaugurated, and is operated in the interest
of its patrons.
Fast trains via the Wisconsin Central
lines leave Minneapolis daily at 12:45
pm. and 6:25 p. m, and St. Paul at 1870

The celebrated scientific optician, Prof.

at the Olympia hotel for the past ten days,
is meeting with his usual success, the most
difficult cases always come first and
already a large number of prominent
ladies and gentlemen have called and had
superior glasses adjusted by the professor.
Several of these citizens of Olympia had
tried in this and other cities on the coast
to have glasses adjusted but without sue
cess. There are no cases Of defective vision
too difficult for Prof. Seward to correct
The professor stands at the top of his pro-
fessiOn with but few equals and no super
ior, consequently the people of this city
should realize that this is an opportunity
of life time and should take advantage
OF it before it is too late. Those who de-
sire to consult the professor should call at
once at the Olympia hotel between the
hours of 10 am. and pm. No charge is
made for consultation.
