A Simple Remedy for Dyspepsia,

One teaspoonful flaxseed taken Just be-
fore each meal and at bedtime and a half
teaspoonful of celery seed after each meal
and at bedtime. The flaxseed should be
rubbed in dry cloth to free them from
dust. They may be swallowed whole. with
enough water sprinkled over them to
dampen them or chewed before swallowing;
the latter is preferable; as they have ri \.
nutty flavor the taste is not unpleasant.
They may be taken an hour or two or i'm
medlately before meals and just before re-
firing. Any time after meals take the
celery seed, either chewing or swallowing
whole, and few minutes after the faxseed
at night. The Ladies' Home Journai.
which recommends the foregoing, advises
for thin persons as an excellent addition a
tablespoonful of pure glycerin taken three
times day, after or with the celery seed.
This is flesh producing.

CONSISTENCY is jewel not often found
in q republican platform. -Four years
ago the republican party of Illinois made
the compulsory election law an important
feature Of their platform and fought and
won campaign on the issue. But as soon
as they find this measure has alienated
thousands from their party, they cease to
voice the beauties of this measure and
make very ungraceful flop on the ques-
ton. But the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
inspired them to this act will deceive neae.
The attitude of the democratic party now
and as 1t has ever been, is plainly out,
lined in their late state platform which
has been given publication in these COL

CALLS Or VISITS.

A Number of Details Pertaining to the
Subject of Formal Visiting.
The usual hours for general visiting are
between and 6 o'clock. Formal calls
should not be made before luncheon.
When strangers arrive in your city to
whom you wish to show civility the first
step is to call upon them. In France the
newcomer pays the first CALL but this is
not the custom in our country.
1t Is not good breeding to invite people
to your house until you have left cards
upon them, though this courtesy is some
times omitted.
First calls should always be promptly re-
turned; that is, within seven DAYS If a
first call is Immediately followed by an in
v1tatlon to some entertainment the call
should be returned at once and not DELAYED
until after the entertainment. After the
entertainment second call should be made
The recipient of any especial hospitality,
such as a dinner, luncheon, breakfast.
dance, ETC., should call thereafter as soon
as possible. After having been invited to
visit in country house a call should be
made upon those extending the invitation
Immediately after their return to the town
residence. After lady is married her &C
quaintances should soon call upon her.
Agentleman should wait for a lady to
signify that his presence in her house viii
be agreeable A card from her giving no
tice of day at home or containing an In
vitation to some entertainment, of course,
gives him the entree to her house.
If gentleman or lady is making call
and other guests arrive, the first corners
should withdraw within little while
A gentleman should Immediately rise
when ladies or older gentlemen enter or
leave room in which he is sitting.
An unmarried or younger lady should
also rise when married or older ladies en-
ter the room, and also when they leave it.

A Plain Duty.

A CONFERENCE of unusual importance
which will be held in New York City on
October 10th is that of all the Roman
Catholic archibishops, headed by Cardinal
Gibbons, for the purpose of celebrating in
regard to the affairs of the church in this
country. The Pope will have a special
delegate present in the person of Arch
bishop Satolli, of Rome, who will probably
come clothed with extraordinary powers.
There are number of subjects which will
naturally come up for discussion, among
them being the controversy over Archi-
bishop Ireland's Faribault school system.
fit is true that DR.. McGlynn has finally
decided to make his submission to the
Roman Propaganda in order to secure a
reopening of the case, this fact will give in
creased popular interest to the coming
ecclesiastical gathering. Just what terms
DR.. McGlynn has made for himself is not
stated, but he could not secure reopening
of his case and hearing of his side of the
controversy unless he should promise to
accept the decision of the ecclesiastical body
appointed to try him, and it is believed
that DR.. McGlynn, in order to recover his
lost position in the church, of which he
was once an honOred priest, is at length
willing to make some submission to the

leads one to q most interesting succession
OF events. One is a physician, another a
merchant, banker, professor, lawyer, poll
tician, editor, and preacher. A new condi-
tion of the world, in its natural and un-
vanished state. is revealed, and with each
illustration the reader is presented with
more truths and natural consequences
than he is ever likely to run up against or
notice in his from day to day career. The
object and idea of the book is to prove that
lying has so demoralized the civilized
world that an honest man cannot get
along by telling and acting the unveiled
truth. From the example of the eight
veritists men and women will learn the
lesson that life can become easier, better
and nobler, if we bring our words and

EECome DOWN.,

We were much amused the other day by
an anecdote of a certain secretary of a gov
ernor, several removes backward from the
present chief magistrate of the Empire
State. Like most sub-Officials, to whom
some pressing final process is committed
he had an itching palm, while, at the
same time, it would not be safe to show his
hand too openly. On one occasion he had.
for the third time, been waited upon bv an
impatient party interested in two import
ant bills which had passed the legislature,
and, with sundry others, were awaiting the
governors signature.
Did you place my bills before his excel
lency ?" asked the party of the secretary.
"N-n-nOt yet" said he Che had a slight
impediment in his speech): "n-not quite

b-by, w-what was the n-name of the nl-man

WHO LIES ,

That it is a departure from the usual style
of reading matter, with new ideas, ex-
pressed in new style, with a lesson in every
line and sentence, will be apparent to the
reader. Could the ideas presented be car
ried out in life, revolution in the social,
business and financial world would result.
"Truth" is the subject matter of the book,
in which it is contended that the poison of
lying has been so inocculated in all of our
social and business relations. that it is an
utter impossibility for anyone to get along
if he adheres strictly to the truth in word
and fact. Eight men, each following a
different vocation, pledge $1,000 that they
will speak and act the truth, solely and
absolutely. To follow them through the

THE membership of the Grand Army of
the Republic on December 3Ist last, was
407,781, no less than 64,4O1 members
being added during the year. The losses
by death were 6,4O4, but nearly
10000 dropped out of the Order,
more than $4,000 being delinquents and
34,367 being suspended for non-payment of
dues. The indications are that tine Order
has about reached its maximum member
ship, and that this may be maintained for
a few years, when rapid decrease will be-
gin. The greater number of members are
now between AS and 55 years of age, and 10
years will surely greatly deplete the ranks.
If the estimates of the number of men in
the Washington procession are correct
(and they cannot be very greatly exagger-
ated), nearly one-ffth of the members at
tended the encampment at Washington.
It's unlikely that such large number
of Grand Army men can ever again be
brought together.

The republican rally last night, lasted
for nearly three hours and was plain,
lucid and interesting explanation of sub
iects of vital import to voters. Attorney
General Jones presented the tin plate ques-
tion in such a simple, honest light, that
the ordinary school boy could readily un-
derstand it. His address was lengthy, but
interesting from the fact that he knew
what he was saying, and how to say it.
Notwithstanding the lateness of the
hour when Mr.. Jones finished his remarks,
the audience was awakened to new enthu-
siasm by Colonel Will L. Visscher, who
kept them in a roar oflaughter until nearly
midnight. While his illustrations were
full of humor, they were not without their
telling points, and illustrated clearly and
concisely the points under discussion. He
was highly cOmphmented, not only by
Governor Ferry and those upon the plat
form, but by the entire audience.
