When War Is Declared

Against a mans happiness by his stomach
the enemy may be pacifed and brought
speedily and easily to terms. That potent
regulator of digestion. Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, disciplines the rebellious organ
thoroughly. Indigestion arises from weak
ness of the stomach. and the food in it, for
want of the power to digest decomposes and
acidifes, giving rise to heartburn, fatulence
and pain, besides multitude Of symptoms
both changeful and perplexing. But peace
soon reigns when the great stomachio is re-
sorted to and used with persistence. Dys-
pepsia gives rise to morbid discomposure of
mind. and even sleeplessness and hypo-
chondria in chronic cases. To the complete
dismissal of these the Bitters Is fully adequate.
Liver complaint, constipation, debility, rheu-
matism and malaria are completely subdued
by this genial medicine.

FrightfuI Phonetics.

An extraordinary story of the danger
of phonetic spelling is told by an
Australian paper. A Scandinavian
lished in Australia as a school-master,
was astonished and outraged one day
by the receipt of the following missive:
"0ld Boom quits, is queer. Cur, ass,
you ar man of no legs, wish to enter
my bowie in your skull" A conference
was held, and the writer, a newcomer,
was visited by body of inhabitants
and asked Indignantly to read his
letter aloud. and say what he meant by
it. He read: "Ole Baumgartz, Esq.
Sir: AS you are man of knowledge,

The Bill for a Dinner.

One often hears something funny by
simply keeping ones ears open. A day
or two ago 1 overheard well-known
Union Club chappie ordering dinner
at Del's for quite large party. He
was most careful about getting every
thing just right, but the most circum-
spect thing of all that he ordered was
the whispered admonition to the head
waiter: "And be sure to see that the
bill is not brought to the table after
dinner" This was surely great piece
of consideration, not only for himself
but for his guests. There is always an
awkward pause at every dinner given
in public restaurant when the bill is
presented. The guests all try to look
as IL they hadn't eaten anything at all,
while the host, as he runs his eye down
the long list of items, wonders how
they could have eaten so much. New
York Recorder.

had been practice upon the feast of
the Lupercalia, which took place in the
month of February, of indulging in a
social game not unlike modern neck

number of young maidens were placed
in an urn by corresponding number
of young men. Then each young man
drew forth, as chance directed, a
maiden's name, and she was accounted

Soon after his death he was canonized,
and 1t was appointed that the ami

st. Valentines day. Naturally and
easily the old frolics Of the Lupercalia
were transferred to this new festival,

more generous, thoughtful and ear

Family Life or sioux Indians.

A writer in Outing gives an amusing
account OF "Sketching Among the
Sioux" He says that the kindness
and patience CT these people in their
dc nestle relations are very noticeable.
The women have certain duties to per-
form, as among other races; but the
men do not disaain to help them on &C.
casions any more than does q white
man of good disposition.
We never saw, during our whole
residence in the Sioux village, single
family quarrel, and the children were
rarely IL ever punished.
One example to illustrate this char
acteristic pleased and amused us not q
little. One day, Flying-by's wife came
to our tent and asked us t. lend her a
small hand-mirror which we possessed.
We gave 1t to her, and then watched
her to see what she would do with IL.
About mile and half or two miles
away horse-race was in progress,
watched by three or four hundred
mounted Indians.
The squaw took the mirror, stood in
front of the tent, and reflected beam
of sunlight from the glass along the
ground in line with the group Of In
dams.

and came tearing over the prairie to-
ward us. 1t was Elying-by, who sprang
of his horse at our door and looked in.
quiringly around. His wife had gone
back to her cooking, and was appar-
emily quite needless of his coming.
To his question whether some one
had not sent for him, we could only
reply that we had seen his wife play
ing heliostat with our mirror, where
upon he went over and spoke to her.
In moment he returned. and with
a grin told US that, knowing he had
money, his wife had called him home
for fear he might be tempted to gam
BILE 1t away. He chuckled over her
prudence, and told us that he might
have made a lot of money II he had
stayed; and not cross word was
spoken.

New Treatment OF Epilepsy.

DIR. Gibier maintains that he has dis
covered new cure for epilepsy, and
has submitted his results to the Bac-
THEOLOGICAL Society. The patients are
treated hypodermically, the injections
being made in the side just above the
hip joint. The material used is taken
from the brain of q sheep, great care
being taken to secure absolute purity
in the matter used. The aim is to sup
ply the nervous force with naturally
prepared food, from clean and healthy
animal, which will at once assimilate
with the blood and nourish it, but not
stimulate the nervous system. 1t is
claimed that the matter introduced
not only invigorates the patient di-
rectly, but is also most beneficial in
adding to the favorable effects deriva-
BILE from other therapeutic agents. 1t
is said that the improvement following
on its application is, in the majority OF
instances, steady and satisfactory.
