A Cougreasman's Cor Trade.

his constituents he Is a granger him

part of St. Louis, but as it embraces

long been a walking encyclopedia OF
information concerning crops and live
stock. During the last campaign,
while visiting, he met one of his far
mer constituents driving a COW: lie
at once began TO dir his knowledge of
bovine breeds. In the height of his
enthusiasm he offered to buy the COW.
The farmer was not anxious to sell,
but said he would take s65 cash for
the cow.
"Drive her up to my house, said
0'Ncill, "and I'll be there to pay'you
the money"
The farmer regretted that he had
consented to part with his favorite
cow, and said: "Let me toll you, MIR.
O'Neill, the COW is gentle creature
and good mixer, but she has no up
per teeth" >,
"Of course that alters the trade,
said Mr.. O'Neill. "You wouldn' e1-
pect me to take a cow with such a de-
feet as that, but bring me a good
mixer, with sound upper teeth and l
will buy her"
When the story got out there was
great excitement in the cabbage end Of
his district. The grangers swore they
wouldn't have congressman who was
"blamed fool enough to believe that
COWS had upper teeth" AS a result,
O'Neill was only reelected by the skin
of his own upper teeth.

a constitutional disease, requires a

Kenneth Bazemore had the good
fortune to receive small bottle OF
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy when three mem
bers of his family were sick with dys;,
entcry. This one small bottle cured
them all and he had some left which
he gave to Geo. W. Baker, proml-
nent merchant of that place, Lewis
ton, N. c., and it cured him OF the
same complaint. When troubled
with dysentcry, diarrhea, collie or
cholera morbus, give this remedy
trial and you will be more than pleas
ed with the result. The praise that
naturally follows it's introduction and
use has made it very popular. 25 and

Why Bees Work in the Dark.

A lifetime might be spent in inves-
tigating the mysteries hidden in a bee
hive, and still half of the secrets would
be undiscovered. The formation Of
the cell has long been a problem for
the mathematician, while the changes
which the honey undergoes offer at
least an equal interest to the chemist.
Everyone knows what honey fresh
from the comb is like. 1t is clear
yellow syrup, without trace Of solid
sugar in it. Upon straining, however,
it gradually assumes a crystalline ap-
pearance-it candies, as the saying is,
and ultimately becomes solid mass Of
sugar. It has not been suspected that
this change is due to Photographic
action; that the same agent which de-
termines the formation of camphor
and iodine crystals in bottle causes
the syrup heney to assume a crystal
line form. This, however, is the
case.
NJ. Schiebler, an eminent chemist,
has inclosed honey in stoppered TASKS,
some of which he has kept in perfect
darkness, while others have been ex-
posed to the perfect lig hit. The inva-
riable result has been that the summed
portion rapidly crystallizes, while that
kept in the dark has remained perfect
ly liquid.
And this is why bees work in per-
feet darkness, and why they are so
careful to obscure the glass windows
which are sometimes placed in their
hives. The existence Of their young
depends upon the liquidity, Of the sac,
charine food presented to them, and if
light were allowed access to this, the
syrup would gradually acquire more
or less solid consistency; it would
seal up the cells, and in all probability
prove fatal to all the inmates OF the
hive.

God Is NTcer'a People.

A few weeks ago, in this city, a
poor widow died, leaving one child, a
little lame boy, to the cold charities
of the world.
After his mother funeral the little
fellow was taken i'll from the combined
results of grief and neglect, and itwas
then evident that he would soon be
united to his only friend.
He was left alone much Of the day,
there being no one who could spare
the time to stay with him. Il was Of
ten noticed that the voices Of two
persons could be heard in his little
room. But when those in charge en-
tered he would be alone and appa-
rently asleep.
One day they listened, being quite
sure that no one was with the child,
and they overheard this strange mon
ologue: ,. qn
eyes, my little boy, I is right
here p
"Was you went away yet p
II went back to Heaven to tell God
about my little boy"
"Did you was afraid, mamma ?"
"No, my little boy, because God is
nicer'n peoples"
"Did you tell God about ME, NAM
ma p
II told him I had little boy named
Harry-an-an'--"
There was loud noise Of sobbing
then, and then the listener without
cried, too. Presently the child s voice
resumed:
"Did you told God to let me come
up there, mamma %
YES, my boy, an He said 'bimcby,
bimcby.
Mamma, Tse--so-tired- an
sleepy-an'-I want to come an stay
with-you-an' God. -
There was long silence then, bro
ken by no cry or sob. The listeners
went in after resolving in their hearts
to be thereafter very patient with the
motherless one.
But death had been kinder than
they.=tScZccte1.

was on a soldiers head or stick.
Four times out of five it was hoisted
on stick, but we were ready to take
the one chance in FIVE of hitting a
head. Old caps were gathered up by
the bushel for use in the pits. After
being "plunked" about FIVE times
there was only handful of rags and
batting left. The stick on which it
was hoisted would be hit about once
out of FIVE shots. I once held silver
three-cent piece aloft on a cleft stick
when in pit sixty feet from the
nearest of the enemy. At the second
shot, which was doubtless from hun
ter's rife, the top Of the stick and the
coin were carried away. On another
occasion I tied a blouse-button to a
string and held it up. It was new
button and the sun was shining
brightly, and it drew the fire of a dozen
men. Some twenty shots were fired
before the button was hit. Then the
bullet which struck it cut it in two,
and one Of the halves was DETECTED

severe wound on the chin.

occupy a pit in rotation for twenty
four hours the loss would sometimes
be as high as six and seldom less than
two. l do not mean that all were
killed, but wounded man was a little
better than dead one for thirty days

Cobra Poison as Medicine.

Dried and pulverized, the poison Is al
most as deadly as when injected by the
live cobra Native doctors use it medici-
nally in microscopic doses and have bar
barous method of extracting 1t. They put
a cobra into an earthen pot and drop ba-
mana in after it. Then they tie down the
lid and heat the pot over the fire. The
wretched snake is soon tortured into rage
in it's baking prison and bites the banana
in it's paroxysms The fruit is afterward
carefully dried and is then ready for use.
1t is pronounced under some circumstances
to be a wonderfully powerful stimulant,
but 1T is only used in extreme cases, and
even then probably does infinitely more
harm than good The same preparation is
also said to be employed by leather work
ers for poisoning other peoples cattle,
with a view to afterward buying up the
hides cheap. This is a form of crime very
prevalent in India, and one that the au-
thorities find most difficult to check, for

TO EXPLORE LABRADOR.
Mr.. Charles e. Hite of the University of
Pennsylvania Will go .There This Sum

Among the several expeditions this
year which have for their objct northern
exploration, the one which has peculiar
interest is that headed by Mr.. Charles
E. H1te of the University of Pennsyl-
yania to Labrador. Mr.. Hite, although
young man, has had wide experience
in expedition work, both as pupil and
assistant of Prof. Dyche, and as taxfder-
mist of the Peary relief party OF 1892.
His present venture. which goes out
under the auspices of the Geographical
Club, is one which is commanding wide
attention from other geographical lnstl-
buttons, and it will leave this city about
the last of June in Mr.. Cooks whaling
vessel, the Newfoundland. His party
will consist of ten men, seven OF whom
have already been chosen.
At Rigolet, on the lower coast OF Lab
rador, the party will disembark and pro-
coed up Booth Bay to the mouth OF the
Grand River. Here the expedition will
be divided into two parts-one, consist
ing of four men. will explore the Mealy
Mountains in that vicinity and make
large natural history collections for the
various scientific associations in this
country. In the meantime the rest OF
the party, under Mr.. Hite, will push up
the river to the Grand Falls, visited IN
1891 by Mr.. Henry G. Bryant OF this city.
These falls will be definitely located,
and the direction OF the expedlglon .aIGer
that will be then determined by the
movements of Mr.. Low, who is now at
Rigolet for exploration purposes under
the direction of the Geological Survey
of the Dominion of Canada. II that gen.
tleman, when Mr.. Hite reaches the Grand
Falls, has preceded him and gone over
the interior tablelands of Labrador to
the west coast, Mr.. Hite will return with
his companions down the Grand River
to the Mississippi river, and endeavor
to ascend the latter to supposed lake
which is thought to be it's source and
that of the river st. Johns. Should
this prove to be the case, and the lake
be reached, Mr.. Hite and.his companions
will descend the ST. John to the. st.
Lawrence river, where they will await
the return of DR.. Cooks expedition to
North Greenland.
Should it be ascertained' that Mr.. Low
has not assembled to the Grand Falls and
taken the west route, it is the intention
of Mr.. Hite to take the route himself,
and explore the great unknown table,
lands and the chain of lakes reported
to exist there, and then return TO Rlgolet
and reioin the rest of the party. who in
any event are to be picked up by Dr.
Cook on his return voyage.
The entire outfit, including canoes and
supplies, is to be supplied in this city,
and whichever of the two routes Mr..
Hite should choose at the Grand Falls it
is believed the results will be of great
value to geographical science. -Philadel-

OUR FAILING TEETH. )
Nowadays There Is an Alarming Tendency
For Them to Decay.

Nowadays There Is an Alarming Tendency
For Them to Decay.
The dentists of the period, who are moth
ing if rot scientific, raise note of alarm
about the growing tendency to decay Of
the teeth of the present and the coming
generations. Dental carries is said to be
increasing in an extraordinary and
alarming manner Each succeeding
generation shows a poorer and poorer
quality Of teeth. This the writer can
confirm to some extent by the experience
of four generations of his own family.
At one extreme was a grandfather of Sc,
who died less than score of years ago,
with a mouth full of absolutely perfect
teeth. At the other is the great grand
daughter of that old gentleman, who, at
10 years of age, requires six of her teeth
'sfilled" at the present moment.
What can be the cause of this very I'M
pleasant and even alarming condition OF
thingsi The dentists tell us that dental
carries marches hand in hand with civiliza-
tion." If that be SO, we can only devoutly
wish that civilization would find more
encouraging and comfortable companion.
But why does civilization insist upon des-
/ troying our teeth? Because, say the den
lists, 1.-THE increasing perfection of the
culinary art, by reducing the work Of the
masticating organs to minimum, . causes
both teeth and jaws to atrophy and decay.
So, then, it is tae cook, the scientific cook
of the schools of cookery, who, in the last
resort, is at fault
Even our domesticated animals, our cats
and dogs are losing the excellence Of their
teeth for the same reason, and we shall
no doubt soon have dentists among the
veterinary surgeons as well as among the
more august professors of the art OF hui
man medicine. These be uncomfortable
prophesyings! Can anything be dones A
little, say the dentists We must all go in
for brown bread. Whole meal bread alone
contains in quantity the fourine which is
SO necessary for the hardness and perma
hence of the teeth. Whole meal bread it
must be, then, at morning, at noon and at
night, if we would avoid the pangs of
toothache and the pains of dentistry and
save our precious teeth. -Hospital.
