Popular Superstitions.

The Pueblos of New Mexico es-
teemed snakes as sacred animals. To
Kill one was capital olfense.
The Scotch have superstition that
spider on your clothes in the morn
ing is not good luck, but in the after
noon or evening all is well.
In Scotland and Ireland the en-
trance of bee into cottage is
looked upon as certain sign of the
death OF some one then residing there.
1t is a common belief in South
Germany that if children play
soldiers very often in the street there
is a war coming, and if they play
funeral" an epidemic will result.

German
Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, $780,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. Il am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where / got well
drenched in shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until 1 had
to seek relief. consulted DIR. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely. Ny condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottleso of German Syrup. l
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, l was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. l felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

The Collapse of a Rotten Tenement,

Inc Collapse OF a Rotten Tenement,
With crumbling foundation and shaky ,bulg-
ing walls, is not more certainly to be looked
for than the sudden giving way of a con-

anxiety or exposure to hardship and malign
climatic influences. Against the disastrous
effects of each and all of these, Hostetter's S
stomach Bitters is al effectual safeguard 1t
fortifes the system against them by iniusing
into II fresh vigor begotten of renewed and
complete digestion and assimilation of the
food, and its consequent reparative action
upon the exhausted tissues and impoverised
circulation. No preparative for the under
going, without injury, of all unusal amount
OF bodily or mental work, no means OF avert

latiyely fine defensive invigoTant. Take it

SW!NT0N'S SPECIFIC
For DYSPEPSIA.

This unfailing remedy for Dyspepsia of the
most chronic type, Is the result OF many
years medical research of one of the most
noted and eminent medical scholars of the
period, DR.. La Verne Swinton. Patent and
proprietary nostrums have had no more bit
ter opponent than this most eminent physi-
clan, for the simple reason that the same
dose is invariably prescribed to the sufferer,
no matter what the temperament of the pa
tient, and no matter what the peculiarities
of the disease, and this, too, in the face of
the claims that such remedies will cure a
majority of known diseases.
DR.. Swinton realized fully to what extent
Dyspepsia whether mild or chronic, by inn
poveri1hing and poisoning the blood, became
the progenitor of numerous diseases, and
therefore sought diligently for years to dis
cover its true specific. In this he was sue
cessiul, but in prescribing his wonderful
discovery, he never overlooked the great
medical truth that the symptoms in each
case, the temperamental differences, and
even the habits and occupation of the suf-
ferer, required not only Il difference in the
prescription of his remedy, but also demand
ed supplemental treatment and dietary di-
rections, varying widely in different cases.
THE SWINTON MEDICAL co. send in con-
neeton with this celebrated Specific for
Dyspepsia a complete Treatise by the Doc
tor, which gives explicit directions to the
sufferer, so that he may not only Intelligent
ly use the remedy, but also properly regulate
the diet and properly self-administer the sup
Elemental prescriptions suited to the case.
This is Medical Treatment and Not
Quackery.
Do not be robbed of your money and your
hopes for restored health by alleged panaceas
which while comparatively harmless will
cure nothing.
sWINTON'S SPECIFIC is sold by all drug
gists in 81 90 packages We are introducing
il ourselves in this territory, before placing
it on sale with your leading pharmacists,
and will send single packages to any address
upon receipt of SO cents. Each package
contains the medical treatise of DR.. Swinton,
giving dietary directions and supplemental
prescriptions. Address;

JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 49, 1892

"Yonr mind is contaminated with
this foolish patriot business and you
love another. know him. and shall
find way to have my revenge and
humble your pride, Rachel Ewing"
lie darted her look of naughty an
ger, then sprapg into his saddle and
rode away down the bluff
Robert Wayland, an officer in the
colonial service with Washington, was
q handsome young man, gentle, manly
and possessing many excellent quail
ties Ills own parents had died when
he was very young and tic had been
raised and educated by his grand
parents, who lived some six miles dis
tant from Mrs. Ewings cabin.
1t had besn Robert Wayland who
had brought them the first tidings of
Mr.. Ewing's death, and tbs young Of
fcer's kindness and gentle corisidcra-
ton during the sad period which fol.
lowed had quite won the motherly es-
teen of the widow and the heart of the
daughter.
A week went by and Rachel. Ewing
had nearly ceased to think Of Rigney's
threat to have revenge.
He would surely have enough than-
hood not to injure two dcfensclcss
| women; then how could he find an op-
portunity to harm the young officer in
Washington's camp2
A cold, stormy day was drawing to
close, as Rachel stood at window OF
her mothers cabin and watched the
descent of the snownakes.
Her thoughts were of Robert Way
| land and she hoped that he and all
his brave comrades in the patriot serv-
ice were well and comfortable.
Suddenly four horsemen gallopcd
through the falling snow aud drew
rein before the little rack of fodder
where the cow was feeding.
1t needed no one to tell Rachel Ewing
and her mother that they were British
soldiers.
IItching their horses where they
would be as little exposed to the storm
as possible, the British troopers strobe
boldly into the cabin and up to the
pleasant fireplace where log burned
