He went and sucked the paint off,
And it mace him very sick.
They stuffed him down with calomel,
In hopes tn move his liver;
But all in vain-his little soul
Was waited Ger the river.
The parents who wish to avert such
heartrending catastrophes from their own
offspring should purchase painless wooden
toys, china or rubber dolls, and woolly
animals.
There is swindle being practiced of
which no intelligent men should be
victim Bus intelligent men are no usual
ly victims of swindles. This is an insur
ance swipdle. 1t is described TINS: "a
stranger goes around insuring property,
and delivers handsome policy If the
farmers building never burns he never
knows that he has been swindle1, but il
they do and he begins to look around for
his money he finds that there is not and
never was such company. The pretend
ed agent pockets the premium, and that is
the last you ever hear of him or his
company" There is no need of any one
being caught in this way Butler and
every other town of any sizs has reputable
agents representing reliable companies

1T is fact not known to most persons
that microbes cannot live in an acid me-
dium. The acids which the stomach Sc
cretes in healthy condition destroy the
germs of disease that may be introduced
into it, jnst as they destroy parasites, such
as trichina Furthermore, the common
use of lemon Juice against diptheria and
scurgy is widely known, and it is hardly
necessary to remind my readers that in the
treatment of complaints of the stomach,
hy drechloric acid is most efficscious in
checking bad forms of fermentation.
The practical conclusion to be drawn
from these facts is not difficult to find and
il is one that will interest everybody
in these days of epidemics drink water con-
tanning citric acid. 1t can be made by
squeezing half lemon into q iitre of wat
er and TO stand half an hour
The liq04 pared can be taken in
all security, said to be absolutely
pure. Persons who may not ike the
slightly sour taste coming from the lemon
have only to add small quantity of bicar-
Donate of soda to neutrahze the acid and to
have the wa er regain its natural taste.
1t is, therefore, possible to preserve ones
self from cholera by using slightly acid
drinks.

he INDUCED too freely, aud when the cur

corner, knocked ont. Here was a diem

the emergency. He hurriedly pressed in
to service one of the stage hands, big
| Pennsylvania Dutchman, who knew very
little English, and drilled him for half an
hour on what he was to say. Now" said
the stage manager, "when you 60 on the
