Probably the most remarkable drum
mer that ever lived was Jean Henri, the
famous tambourmajor of the Emperor
Napoleon, who some sixty years since
gave an exhibition Of his wonderful tai
ents at the Lyceum theater, London,
one OF his feats was to play on fifteen
differently toned drums at the same
time in so soft and harmonious man
ner, that, instead of the deafening up
roar that might have been expected, the
effect was that of a novel and complete
instrument. Another trick of his was
to throw twenty-eight drumsticks into
the air in all directions and then to
catch them in peculiar manner under
his arms and between his legs.
OF his playing we are told that he
passed from one drum to the other with
such wonderful rapldity that spectators
could hardly follow the movements OF
his hands and body.

Seldom do those engaged in the work
of marrying indulge in pun during the
ceremony, however much they may be
tempted by the names of the happy
couple, but Salt Lake justice of the
peace could not lose an opportunity re-
Gently afforded him. In couple pre-
senting themselves the name of the
bridegroom was John Pill. When the
justice reached that part of the cere-
mony where the bride agrees to take
the groom for better or worse, instead
of the usual formula, he said: CLARA,
do you take this Pill?" to which the
bride was heard to respond, YES" al
most inaudibly.

Yard Life.
When the old white hen came of
with fifteen chirpy little guineas in
stead of her accustomed brood of chicks
she took to them most kindly, and made
as usual, fond, busy mother. Her lit
tie pink-toed charges proved very ten
der and hard to raise, and at what
might be termed the adolescent stage
in poultry life, her brood of fifteen had
been reduced to three. This trio, how
ever, lavished an unusual amount of az
lection on the old hen, and she repaid
1 1t with a Jealous and prolonged care,
which she had never bestowed on her
more familiar offspring After several
fruitless attempts to wean the guineas,
she philosophically submitted to the in
evitable, and became as constant to the
trio as they were to her, and we often
spoke of their harmony and content.
One morning, not long since, l was dis
turbed by a continuous noise from the
guineas under the window, and at last
l noted that l could detect no answer
ing cluck from the mother-hen. When
went out into the yard to investigate
found the old hen lying stiff and cold
almost beneath my window, while the
guineas lowered near, no doubt, puz-
Eled by her silence and her lack of mo-
ton. After the hen was removed,
though they were now well-nigh grown,
they wandered about noisily and hope
lessly, and for several days seemed
lost. Whether or not they have found a
resemblance to the mother, l cannot
say, but they have at last wilfully at
tached themselves to another white
| hen, and l cannot but believe that in
time she must submit to the adoption,
in spite of her efforts to rid herself of
the responsibility so deliberately I'M
posed upon her The guineas evidently
will accept no rebuff. They permit her
neither to dodge nor desert them. When
she attempts to run off from them, they
scamper after her, and, If, in despera-
ton, she flies aloft and seeks some airy
perch, they range themselves beneath,
crane their necis in her direction, and
send up a plaintive "pot-rack" of ap-
peal. Right there they will remain,
and keep up their chorus until the fos-
ter-mother touched into relenting or
harassed by the restless persistence of
her self-inflicted charges, is con-
strained to fly down and accept their
attachment. Il. A. M.

IN. QUAD"


Charles b. Lewis, better known by
his pen-name of IN. Quad" was born
in northern Ohio early in the forties,
and, after receiving a common school
education, learned the printers trade.
Desiring to better his condition, and
hearing of an opening in Maysville, KY,
he started for that place. The steam
boat on which he took passage was
blown to atoms by the explosion of its
boiler, and for several months Mr..
Lewis lowered between life and death
in a Cincinnati hospital. When the
war broke out he went to the front
with the Seventh Michigan cavalry, and
served with his regiment throughout
the conflict. After being mustered out
he went to Michigan and again took
up the printers trade. He was con-
nected for a time with the Pontiac

A COMMON CAUSE OF SICKNESS.
In Warm Weather Nothing so Dangerous as
Decayed Foods.

Everyone knows or ought to know that de-
cayed foods are poisonous. Boards of Health
seek to prevent their sale.
wenow have in mind the results which fol-
low the decay and decomposition of foods
after hey have been eaten. for unless diges-
ton occurs within a reasonable time after our
meals, decomposition sets in.
Jfdyspeptics will stop and consider for
moment some of the symptoms OF their
trouble, such as disagreeable breath, eructa-
lions of gas or bad taste in the mouth, they
will understand that they all must come from
decaying foods that ought properly to have
been absorbed into the system.
Spots before the eyes, dizziness, sleepless-
ness, dyspeptic headaches are but few OF the
effects following the absorption into the blood
of poisons developed from decomposing and
undigested food that lies in the stomach.
1t was recognition of this important fact

ton of a remedy for dyspepsia. and nothing is
more efficient than the Digestive Cordial
which they have recently placed on the mar
ket.
Its action is so prompt that relief frequent
" follows the very first dose. 1t restores the
appetite and increas S the weight. Plump
ness and strength take the place of weakness
and that care-worn expression which points
out the dyspeptics in every community. The
local druggists are now giving away interest
ing descriptive pamphlets
