DYSPEPTIC CRITICISM.
The nl-Naturcd Comment of . Misan-
thropic Bachelor.

The In-Naturcd Comment of . Misan-
thropo Bachelor.
Somebody who must be mentally as
well as physically dyspeptic has written
book OF which the following is the
keynote:
"What right has the average young woman to
go to a home Of her own with few practical ideas
on the subject OF cookery, and dyspepsia waiting
in the shadow OF her table, And still worse to
inveigc into II an innocent young man who sup
poses the domestic accomplishments come to all
women by nature:"
1t is clearly a debatable question
whether or not the average young wo-
man is really such an ignoramus as one
might. from the perusal of this book, DO
led to suppose. For some years cooking
and cooking schools have been so fash
ionable that the majority of girls have
had more or less occasion to dabble in
the mysteries of stcw-pan and gridiron,
and tho girls reared in intelligent fami-
lies have taken pride ia their
knowledge of the culinary art.
That there are cases OF deplorable.
ignorance, not only of this but all other
branches OF useful knowledge, and
young women who not only do not, but
will not, learn any of the details of do
mestic management, is unfortunately
too true; but that the state of things is
as deplorable as has been described in
the new work there is excellent reason
to doubt.
The writer's inspiration comes I'M
qucstionably from the past generation,
and is sadly out of accord with the
actual living, breathing, stirring young
woman of to-day. Even though she
may lack Information and practical ex-
perience on many points of household
economy, she has quito enough OF re-
source and mother-wit to enable her to
set herself right long before good,
solid, chronic dyspepsia makes havoc
with the strength of her hus bands arm,
the power Of his mind and the amiabil-
ity of his disposition. Surely, the
most hopelessly chronic dyspepsia is not
half bad enough for any son of man
who is so silly as to imagine that the
proper preparation OF food, which is
one of the incest of household arts, can
by any possibility be entirely mastered
by girl in her teens
Men and women have grown gray and
discouraged and have died in despair
while struggling with the. problems OF
food and feeding. N. Y. Ledger

A FATAL MISTAKE.
Nothing Can Justify Girl In Marrying .
Drunkard.

Drunkard.
Many girls are making a fatal mis-
take by thinking they are getting
man by linking themselves to any kind
of a fellow. Nothing can justify girl
for marrying drunkard. In order to
be sure that your husband will never
be a drunkard, make him promise be-
fore you marry him that he will never
indulge in Intoxicating drinks. Single
blessedpess is far better than double
cursedness. You cannot expect a man
who has lost self-respect to respect
you, however much he may love you.
We heard of young English lady who
came to New York to marry young
man to whom she was affianced in Eng
land. He had come to this country
two We ars previously to be engaged in
business. She had known him as a
sober young man. During the time
she was preparing her wedding outfit
he came TO see her one evening when
just drunk enough to be foolish. She
was greatly shocked and panied. He
admitted that occasionally he drank to
excess She Immediately stopped
preparations, and told him that she
could not marry him. He protested
vehemently, and made promises but
she declared positively that she would
not dare trust her future happiness to
a man who had formed such habit.
II came" she said, three thousand
miles to marry the man / loved, but
rather than marry a drunkard l will
return" And so she did, and proved
herself strong and wise. A thousand
times better dissolve the tenderest
ties than to be linked to that body of
death called drunkard. Do you be-
lieve it, girls? Go and ask the drunk
ards wife what she thinks Do not
vacilIate, hesitate, or yield when o
drunkard offers you his hand, but
Learn to say decided No"
Which may spare you an untold woe
Do not have faith in drunkard's
word, for he is unreliable Too many
have already done so whose throbbing
hearts only ceased their hopeless ach-
ings in the chilling silence of the sep
ulcher. Let every young woman take
firm stand on the side of total abb
stinence, and it will do more to prevent
intemperance than any present human
means can accomplish. You cannot
afford to be Indifferent. II has to do
with your temporal and eternal well
fare. Then be up and doing all you
can for the promotion of the temper
ance cause. Rev. Jonathan Edwards.

Mr.. Morehead spent several months
last summer and fall digging in and
around Fort Ancient, that stupendous
earthwork in Warren county, o., the
most extensive Of its character on this
continent, if not indeed in the world.
The results of his quest were fully set
forth in letter in this correspondence
at the time. Having exhausted the sub
ject there SO far as he had reason to ex-
pect to add any new thing to his col
lection and information, he took his
party to the Hopewell farm, near Chill
licothe, in Ross county. Here in a
mound that stood on the site OF pre-
historic city were found things that are
archaeological treasures both in their
novelty and in adding to the light that
has been thrown upon this misty sub
ject by pick and pen.
The laborers had not progressed far
with the removal of the earth compos-
ing the mound, when they came upon
succession of powders which attracted
attention from their peculiar position,
as though they had been placed in full
fllment of a purpose. Archaeological
digging is always done slowly and care
fully, and in this case the powders
were all laid bare without removing

That's what Haney found it to be. |
Then the custodian of the pack
age was taken into the secret and
Boyd, with whom he held frequent
conversations, Vas more closely
watched than ever by Haney and
more assiduousl, courted by his
"banker. Boyd, it appears, had
every confidence in the man who
held the stuff, and one night, when
closely questioned, told how he came
to have it.
That story was full confession
of the wrecking work by which SO
many lives were lost.
Haney was not surprised when
the confession was repeated to him,
but he was not willing to take the
story as it came to him.
In his confession Boyd described
the tools he had used, and told Just
what he had done with them.
There was crowbar, a monkey
wrench and a spikelitter.
Each one Boyd had hidden Sc
curely, but in his conversation with
the Statesville friend he described
their exact hiding place.
THE IMPLEMENTS FOUND.
Haney made a search for the i'm
plements. The crowbar he found
just where Boyd said he had Sc
creted it and was just the imple-
ment in every detail Boyd had de-
scribed. Then a half mile at the
point Boyd had indicated, the spike
litter was rescued from a clump of
bushes.
The menkeywrench Boyd said he
had thrown in the creek Just above
the bridge. An effort or two was
made to find it, but without success.
The finding of the bar and spike
litter just where Boyd said he left
them, and the possession of the
money and jewelry, convinced Ha.
ney that he had found the righ,
man.
But, to add to his certainty, Ha.
ney induced the Statesville man to
arrange for another meeting with
Boyd. That meeting had two or
three witnesses, and before it was
over Boyd related his story. He
described minutely how he had Sc.
cured the tools and how he had
pulled the spikes, moved the rails
and ditched the train.
