A report in one of the medical
journals from a well known physi-
clan of recovery in three cases of gas.
trio ulcer following a diet of ice cream
revives attention to the beneficence
of this diet in certain forms of dys-
pepsia. The first patient of the trio
was a woman of IS, who had lost 25
pounds from inability to assimilate
food and also suffered great pain.
She was put on the ice cream diet,
and for two months she consumed
from n to three quarts daily. By
the end of that time she had gained
"a pounds, and her ordinary diet was
resumed.
The theory is that the healthy in
testines ecove first from the chill Of
the frozen food and do the digestive
work, giving the diseased membrane
rest and semi-insensibility, while the
e affords ample and excellent
nourishment. Physicians who pre-
scribe the diet are careful to avoid
chemical 1avorings and prefer, usu-
ally insist upon, the ice cream being
made at home of pure materials and
under the best conditions.

We have all, as children, made
mud pies, but the children at a hot
spring at Gaudaloupa, Mexico, cook
them, eat them and, besides that,
make pocket money by selling them
to tourists as SOU Tenirs. A peculiar
yellow clay is found there, and the
natives say that tie mud pies made
of it by the children are not ill fla
vored. They speak from the recol-
lections of childhood, though, l think,
as l saw an adult eat them.
There is an interesting legend con
nected with the spring. 1t is said to
have been of miraculous origin. An
aged pilgrim, f~ootsore, weary and
hungry, lay down to rest where the
spring now is. He had not a morsel
to eat for three days, and there was
no village, or house even, for many
miles.
A rabbit had been caught in a
thicket, even as the goat was that
staid Abraham's hand. There was
no means of preparing it for food,
however. The pilgrim had the faith
that moves mountains. Planting his
foot in the yielding soil, he stood up
and prayed for acc A spring
gushed out, as the water did from
the rock when Moses smote it with
his rod, only this spring was of hot
water. The pilgrim slew and cooked
the rabbit. He bathed his weary
limbs in the water which he caught
in a gourd and then allowed to cool,
and then found that the waters had
healing properties, for the bleeding
wounds on his feet, sustained in his
pilgrimage, were made well. The
pilgrim afterward became a noted
saint, adored to this day in the Mexi-
can calendar, and the hot spring has
never ceased to flow. - Cincinnati

A Freak of Nature.

Geo. Marelius, the expert taXidermist,
and all-round naturalist, has added the
wonder of the age to the collection of
animals on exhibition at his popular
butcher shop, and everybody in town is
dropping in to look at it. 1t is a year
ling black-tail fawn, with a hide nearly
the color of that of a coach dog. It's
back has the natural dark grey color, its
sides are spotted white and grey in beau
tiful profusion, some would call it pinto,
and its belly is as white as alabaster. 1t
is what the naturalist would call an sal
bino" deer, it being accidentally white.
Its ears are unusually large but 9th er-
wise it bears the form and proportions
of a very graceful animal. There was
never such a curiosity brought to this
market before, and Mr.. Marelius, who is
a taxidermist of long practice, has never
seen one before. 1t is an especially
valuable and attractive specimen. Harry
Clifford shot this deer on the Middle
Fork of the Judith river.

Mounting q Camel.

To mount a camel for the first time
is for a Howadji, until he gets the
hang Of it, a complicated and anxious
process. The first risk is that the
animal will rise while the rider is
climbing into the saddle. This he
will inevitably do if the attendant
has forgotten to place his foot On the
camel's knee.
The novice having settled in the
saddle, which is like a fiat wooden
tea tray on the top Of a hump, and
taken a tight grip of the horns" of
which there is one in front and one
behind, waits in suspense, wondering
which end of the animal means to get
up first. The action, when it does
begin, is a violent seesaw in three
jerks, which impel him alternately
in the direction of the head and tail,
until, if he is lucky, he finds himself
10 feet from the ground. Nineteenth

Is He Dead or Living,

James Fitch Marquis left his home in
Kansas City, Mo-, July 2, 1893. He
told his wife and daughter Lora that he
had secured work of a farmer living
near Bonita. Kans., Nothing has been
seen or heard of Mr.. Marquis since the
day he left home, and the farmer to
whom he is supposed to have hired,
knows nothing of such a man, and saws
he never worked on his place. Marquis
was a man of good character, moral
habits, kind to his family, and was in
no way quarrelsome.
He was 80 yrs. old; 5 it. 6 in. high
black hair, blue eyes, light colored mus
tache, otherwise smooth faced when he
left home; was a member of National
Union Lodge, in good standing.

Artificial Eardrums.

1t appears that very satisfactory
results have been obtained from the
use of the new and improved artif-
cial tympanum some time since
brought to notice. 1t is stated that
in many of chronic middle ear
disease marked benefit has followed
the insertion of the device into the
meatus, though the most striking
successes have occurred in patients
laboring under perforation of the
membrane tympani, the artificial
drumhead proving satisfactory, be-
ing also sometimes extremely useful
in cases of accommodative loss from
alterations in the contents of the
Sympanum, in which the eustachian
tube was unobstructed and the naso
pharynx fairly healthy.
The immediate improvement in the
hearing power is an important fact
in this case, the intensity Of the So
norous vibration being at once in
creased, and sounds are clearly de-
fined which before appeared to be
only confusion. The sensibility, too,
of the organ is SO magnifed and the
sense of hearing SO much changed
that the patient does not appear deaf
during conversation. Others, again,
laboring under perforation, but with
out serious deafness, use them as ear
protectors with decided comfort, in
such cases the artificial drumhead
forming a Green between the middle
ear and external meatus and acting
as an efficient shield during occasions
of exposure. Philadelphia Record.

The Garter and MatrimOny.

On st. Eutropius' day in Haute-
Vienne all the unmarried women
walk in procession to st. Junien-
les-Gombes to the cross near the
church. Each woman hangs her left
garter on the cross and prays that
she may HAYES good husband. There
is a superstition, not unknown insthis
country, that a yellow ~garter-this,
too, is the left garter-knit by a friend
and given Unexpectedly to the wear

family resemblance to that narrated
above and more than possibly had a
common origin with it. philadelphia

High Strung When on.
The skirt dancer has most of the
ills to which flesh is heir to combat
with. Perhaps the most common of
the htful aches and ailments is a gen
eral arrangement of the breathing
apparatus. Any comfortably situat-
ed person who views her spasmodic
action from the audience can realize
why the writing, gasping, convul-
sive celebrity should be the most
short winded creature on earth. It
seems a marvel that some of her
cords do not snap and the whole ten
sion suddenly give way and let her
down in a realistic heap in the mid
die of the stage.

moment when the audience sees the
last bow, the farewell wave of the

overexerted, breathless and painting
artist falls exhausted into the arms
OF a faithful attendant, who bears
her gently away to a bottle of brandy
and one of horse liniment favored
with turpentine.
1t is when the skirt dancer reaches
the seclusion of her own apartments,
however, that the really interesting
part of her performance begins.
Electricity is one of her modes of
treatment, but she naturally eats
something before she starts up her
battery. Eating and drinking are
prohibited by her code of digestive
ethics, both before and between
dances, for obvious reasons. When
the embargo is raised and the Cur.
tain goes down, the hungry celebrity
repairs to the nearest hotel and there
follows the proclivities that nature
has endowed her with. If all this

There is a noticeable something
about the overstimulation to which

der Caused His Death.
Richard Ceur de Lion, who had
passed through SO many extraordi-
nary perils, met with his death
wound at an unsupported moment
and from an obscure enemy. 1t was
April 6, 1899. The pope's legate had
nearly accomplished a treaty of peace
between the rival monarchs of France
and England, and Richard was think
ing of returning home when he heard
that one of his vassals, the Viscount
of Limoges, had found a treasure on
his estate. AS superior lord he claim
ed the whole Of it, but the finder was
only willing to give him part. The
king, therefore, besieged him in his
castle of Chalus, and though the gar.
rison offered to surrender, he said as
he had taken the trouble to begin he
would finish by force and hang every
one of them. The same day as he
was surveying the walls one Der.
trand de Gourdon, an expert archer,
pierced him with an arrow in his
shoulder.
The kings Incorporate habits and
the unskillfulness of the surgeon
caused the wound to mortify, and he
became sensible that his end ap-
preached. The castle was taken
while he lay i'll and all the men
hanged except Gourdon. Sending for
him tocomei into his presence, the king
demanded why he had sought his life.
The archer replied: You killed with
your OWL hands my father and my
two brothers, and you intended to
have hanged me. You may take re-
venge by t%orturing me as you will. /
shall die rejoicing hat l have freed
the world from such a nuisance"
Admitting even in death a boldness
Of spirit which so few possessed in
the same degree as himself, Richard
ordered that Gourdon should be dis

The Convention,

Democrats were in their glory last
Friday when they met in White Sui
phur Springs to formulate a ticket. H..
b. Mitchell was made temporary chair
man, which event was celebrated by one
of those justly celebrated speeches of
his, extolling the party of national pros
perity to the skies. r. G. Vaughan,
VIM. Coates, j. T. Anderson, Jas. Jobb
and A. W. Schneider were appointed to
confer with the populist. A recess was
taken and after repeated attempts at a
fusion and hours of earnest scheming
the two parties finally, on Saturday
afternoon, got together and mutually in
dorsed the following ticket:
For Rep J.. 7. Anderson anderson, democrat pnr.s'.
For Sheriff-A. NJ. Wilson, populist.
For Treasurer-Allen Pierse, democrat.
For Clerk and Recorder-G. G. Watt,
populist.
For Assessor-Jas. Jobb, democrat.
For Attorney-C. A. Ghormley, demo-
crat.
For Supt. Schools-Miss. S. L. Curtis.
For public administrators. p. Alb
bolt, democrat.
For Coroner DR.. j. NJ. Kumpc, demo-
crat.
VIM. Tierney, democrat.
Commiss. Jos. Blackwell, populist.
E. N. Edwards, populist.
The democrats gave in readily to the
populist upon almost every proposition,
and after adopting a platform of princi-
Piles came within two votes of turning
their county individuality over to the
populists. 1t was populist day in this
county and the ticket chosn is one upon
which the democrats, for the sake of
fusion allowed the populist all the
offices they wanted. 1t is doubtful t.
much strength is to be gained by such
sacrifice.
