Dyspepsia.

There are so many forms of dyspepsia that it is almost impossible to give the foods most suitable without lmowl- edge of each case. Dyspepsia usually is caused by one of two things-either de- fective muscular action or defective se- cretion of gastric juice. When it can be ascertained where the digestion is at fault, then nearly absolute directions can be given in regard to diet In the majority of cases the articles given in the following list can be taken, but often certain ones of these disagree: Thin vegetable soups, raw oysters, poached or soft boiled eggs, good brown bread, gluten bread, boiled rice, oat- meal, spinach, crosses, celery, lettuce, string beans, asparagus, oranges, peaches, pears, baked apples and grapes. Granula, farinose and barley crystals are especially good ferns of cereals for the dyspeptic. AS much depends upon the preparation as upon the selection of the foods. York World.

At the NIanicure's.

The manicure with the golden hair was bending over the hand of a new customer.
 Do you want your hands bleachedr" she asked.
 Yes"
 She applied the bleach, using more than the ordinary quantity upon the thumb and forefnger of the right hand After working for about five minutes she stopped and said:
 ''It is always difficult to remove nico- tine with the first application"
 "Wh-a-a-t?" gasped the society girl, elevating her eyebrows. Nicotine? What do you meanT'

A Hamlet In Danger.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-Advices from all parts of the flooded district are to the effect that the worst is over The damage done is as yet incalculable, and it will be weeks perhaps before railroad traffic and business generally resume their usual con ditions, but the waters are receding rapid ly, and there is no apparent danger.
 Williamsport, which has suffered most, is itself again, and business will be prompt- ly resumed. The pecuniary loss there is as great as in 1889, but another day has brought no news of loss of life.
 The worst of the flood along the Schuyl- kill river in this city is believed to be over. In individual cases, however, the condi tion of the river is still dangerous. One of these is the outlying hamlet of Clear view, composed of about POO families and built on the banks of the Schuylkill river, near the mouths of Darby and Cobb's creeks. These streams have risen with alarming rapidity, and the people have been driven by the water into the second and third stories of their houses.

Eating Alligator.

There is reason to believe that tho flesh of a young boiled alligator is bare ly distinguishablo from veal. 1t is prob. ably cleaner and moro tender than much of the meat of the animals that are usually consumed as food on the conti- nent or in the east end of London. l have never desired tu taste the flesh of alligators, cooked or uncooked. But in India have seen the Sontals and other casteless natives greedily devour the flesh of an alligator without waiting to cook it. The flesh was very palo in color, and probably was much superior to the flesh of snakes and rats and such like creatures which form the ordinary food of the predatory Sontal when hunting in his native woods. It does not fall Co his lot very often to be allo to circumycnt and slay and eat large alligator. He more frequently comes upon small alli- gators and they TO to swell the con. tents of his cooking pots. If, however, he is so lucky us to meet n sahib who has shot n large alligator, say about G feet long, he eagerly falls upon the un- wonted delicacy without waiting to cook it-very much as we read in books of African adventure that the natives devour tho carcasscs of the large game animals that the English sportsmen do not want for their own followers - LonRman's Magazine.

 PARIS, May 2i.-Emile Henry. the author of the explosion in the cafe of the Hotel Terminus, was guillotined at 4;I4 o'clock this morning.
 Just as day was breaking the anarchist was led from the Prison de la Roquette to the instrument of death that stood just outside the prison walls in the Place de la Roquette. As the gate swung open to al- low of the passage of the condemned man and those who accompanied him the crowd that had gathered to witness the execution repeated in subdued tones, Here he comesY and then the prisoner came into view. AS he passed between the portals of the prison he showed no signs of trepidation. On the contrary, he wore the same air of hraggadocio that had marked his conduct during the trial, and as he stepped outside the gate the silence was broken by the cry of "vive ran- archiep' which broke from his lips

Damaaa Done by Water.

BRADFoRD, Pa, May 22.-The water which covered 20 of Bradford's streets to the depth of several feet is receding, and it is believed the flood has spent its force. The property loss here is at least s12, 900. There was no loss of life, but there were numerous narrow escapes. A panic was caused by the report that the waterworks reservoir, seven miles west of this place, had burst. Men, women and children fled precipitately to the hills for safety, and the widest excitement prevailed until the rumor proved to be false. The Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg tracks have been washed out east of here, and trains have not resumed running. Much damage is reported by the flood at Clean, Dunkirk, Jamestown, Corry and other places. The water is now falling at Oil City, and no danger is apprehended.

An Old Time Rip Van Wrinkle,

The learned John Stow, known as the ''London Antiquary, records the fol- lowing: "April 27, 1546, was Tuesday in Easter week, and on that day William Foxley, potmaker of the mint, fell asleep, and he continued sleeping, and he could not be wakened with pinching, cramping or burning what soever, until the first day of term, which was II days and 15 nights after his sleep began. The causes of this ex- traordinary sleep could not be known, although the same were diligently searched for after by the kings physi- clan and many other learned men. He lived for 40 years after he recovered. '' St. Louis Republic.

the Monroe Doctrin.

Should European vessels land their forces and interfere in the affairs of Bra. gil, thereis no escape from the conclu. sion that such net would constitute a cause of offense to the United States government. Under the light of the Monroe doctrine the administration can construe such acts as nothing less than an offense. If Europe can without let or hindrance land troops in Brazil and menace the security of that republic, Europe can do likewise in every Amer lean republic. c.--Minneapolis Tribune.
