How to Reduce In Weight.

A young English girl afflicted with an
undesirable amount of adipose tissue has
succeeded in Kidding herself of large
amount of it without injuring her health
by following the regimen given below.
She began by getting up at o'clock
every morning and taking three mile
walk before breakfast without consider
ing the weather. At o'clock she had a
large cup of coffee, with very little
sugar, and slice of dry bread. Then
she occupied herself as she liked until 3
o'clock, when more bread and some vege-
tables composed her meal. At 4:3O she
was off for another long walk, followed
by cup of tea and a few dry biscuits.
Ninety days of this regimen reduced her
weight from 185 to 145 pounds.

The Color OF Elsetricitx.


AT meeting of the British Meteoro.
logical society at London, Shelford Bid
well made remarkable experiment,
showing the effects Of electricity upon
steam. 1t is well known fact that the
shadow OF a jet of steam cast upon any
white background under ordinary cir
cumstances is of feeble intensity and of
neutral tint. But. however, il the Jet
be given discharge of electricity just
at the moment when it comes in contact
with the air, the density of the shadow
is amazingly increased as a result of con-
densation, and. it assumes a peculiar
orange brown hue with lines and waves
merging into inky blackness.
Mr.. Bidwell, the only person to my
knowledge who has ever made these ex-
periments scientifically, suggests that
the electricity promotes a coalescence Of
the exceedingly minute particles of wa
ter contained in the jet of steam, thus
forming drops large enough to obstruct
the more refrangible rays of light, but
why the color of the shadow should
change from neutral to shades Of at least
three well defined colors he does not at
tempt to explain. From one of his late
articles l gather ideas which point to the
intense blackness of thunderclouds be-
ing due to similar causes.-St. Louis Re-

How to Make a Library Attractive.

A good cartridge paper, in a soft, light
olive, clear gray blue or gray, is one of
the best medium priced coverings that
can be selected for library wall. Red
which is ideal as an evening color, and
also for its daytime warmth-can only
be safely used in very sunny or well
lighted room. Otherwise it absorbs too
much light. Certain shades of old red
and old pink have not, however, that
drawback. The dull colored tapestry
papers with much blue and green make
q quantity effective background in Ii
brary, but they, too, require bright
room. If library is little used as a
daytime workshop and is well lighted
in the evening, any color that is not too
delicate may be chosen.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies and
by constantly falling to cure 1t by local
treatment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufact-
ured by Il. G. Cheney q Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case 1t fails to cure. Send for circulars

How to Prevent a Cold.

Do not allow yourself to feel "chilly."
It may indicate a circumstance or phys
ical condition, either of which can be
modified by prompt attention. If you
are chilly from a draft, move away
from it, stop it off or put on more
clothes. If the GOODNESS arises from
a physical condition, you are probably
taking cold. Heat brick and sit with
your feet upon it until you are heated

Ellis. Jennie was stand ing with several others receiving in- structions from the parson just after being baptized as to the manner in which they should conduct themselves as Christians. During this time she re- peatedly flashed a huge diamond worn on her right hand which attracted gen eral notice from the outside spectators, among whom were the precinct con- stable, who made the arrest just as Jennie emerged from the church door, accompanied by her beau. Several negroes interfered with the officers, who were also landed behind the bars and placed on the street force to work out their fines.

TUsKAHoMA, l. T., Oct. 13.-Word has reached here that three Choctaws had been murdered on Boggy creek, 40 miles west from here Governor Jones says they were murdered on account of their politics, that they were all Jones men. It is hardly believed that such is the case, as it has been over 8 year since the election which caused so much trouble, although there is much ami mostly existing between the two par ties. The people hardly stopped talk ing about the triple murder when the northbound train reached here with news of another Choctaw named Jonas Lewis being murdered near Kosoma. His horse was found shot and Lewis body was riddled with bullets about half mile from his horse. No one knows who committed the crime, though politics is believed to have been the underlying motive. Much excite ment prevails over the frequent mur- ders.

She had finished her work and was comb ing her luxuriant brown hair near 8 rapidly revolving machine, when her tresses became intangled in the gear. One-half of her scalp was torn off in a second and she fell fainting to the floor. The machinery was quickly stopped and the girl was sent to her home. Her scalp, with the hair attached was taken from the machine.
