Cheerful Pro.pect.

A nervous young minister was filling
the pulpit for a country charge that was
without a regular pastor. A part of his
experience is to~uchingly related by the
local paper. The very pious old lady at
whose house he staid. in showing him
his room, said.
ut amt everybody I'd put in this
room. This here room is full of sacred
associations to me-" she went on. my
first husband died in that bed, with his
herd on three pillows, and poor Mr..
jerks died ssttin in that corner. Some
times when I come into the room in the
dark ! think / see him sittin there
still. My own father died lyin right ON
that lounge right under the window
there. Poor pa, he was a s~piritualist,
and he allus said he'd appear in this
room after he died, and sometimes ! am
foolish enough 10 look for him. If you
should see anything Of him tonight,
you'd better not tell me. It'd be a sign
to me that there was somethin in spir-
itualism, and I'd hate to think that. My
son by my first man fell dead of heart
disease right where you stand. He was
a doctor, and there's two whole skele-
tons in that closet there belongin to
him, and half q dozen skulls in that
lower drawer. If you are up early and
want somethin to amuse yourself before
breakfast, just open that cupboard there,
and you will And a lot Of dead mems
bones. Ny poor boy thought Q lot Of
them. Well. good night. and pleasant

A Bridgeport Conn inventor has
patented a "mushrooming bullet. This
is designed to fill a very important want
in modern warfare, the new styled rifle
projectile having proved too humane.
The trouble with the latter is that, hav-
ing only the diameter Of a lead pencil
and travelling with a velocity oe half q
mile n second, it is apt to pass clean
through a man without disabling him.
1t lacks what is technically called stop
ping power" The bullet devised by the
Bridgeport man has q cavity near the
point. which causes 1t to mushroom"
ii. e., sprcad-on striking, so as Ito
produce a large and lacerated wound,
accompanied by great shock" In time
of peace it may be employed for killing
lions, tigers and elephants.
The very newest thing in this line,
however. is the aluminium bullet. OF
course it is very light, aluminium being
only about as heavy as chalk. 1t is not
intended for use in war, but for hunting
and shooting at targets. Ordinary bull
let's have an excess of force for such
purposes, travelling unnecessarily far.
Those Of aluminium, on the other hand,
have about the same force for short dis
tances, but their velocity diminishes
rapidly beyond 800 yards. For small
game a person fond of shooting may
avail himself of the novel idea of an
other inventor, who suggests that tin
plate shot .yould be preferable to the
kind now in use. These latter are coat
ed with graphite, to blacken and polish
them, and this is alleged to be objec-
tionablo because tho graphite fouls the
gun. Furthermore. the lead is acted
upon chemically by the animal juices
SO as to be injurious to the eater of the
flesh. This is obviated by the coating
Of tin. Boston Transcript.

The Feminine Instinct.

II admit that as yet woman is not

Home Cure For Inflammation,

Although tho herb teas, which our
grandmothers used to mako may be
laughed Mt in those later days, no ono can
doubt that they We're often cilicacious.
Ono of these old time remedies. which has
boon used of late with markedly good ro-
suits, and that i'll moro than ono case Is
sunilower tea.
The remedy has cured stubborn cases of
rhcumattsIn i'll elderly people and left them
FREQ from~this distressing pain
To prepare tho tea procure . quarts of
black suniicwcr seeds and steep them all
day i'll gallon of water; then strain.
White seeds may be used instead of tho
black If tho latter cannot be obtained, but
are not considered quito so strong. If tho
seeds cannot be gathered, they NAV BIO had
mt n seed store, or possibly ut n druggists.
Tho dose to be taken is n tcocupful
night and morning, till the whole prcscrip-
ton is taken. Moro than ono person will
testify TO their cure by this simple means.

Ho was Mt tho top Of tho hill and was

The child ia back and told tho terrible
tale. Tho old father started after his
daughters. From the window of tho mill
no was seen. but not until no had taken
his stand under straight tree, whose
branches were all far above his head
He was now plainly visible and was a
clear target. He appeared unarmod. But
he might have stood there He was safe.
1t was not his blood tho noighbors wanted,
knowing MS he did, that life and CON
6oiousness were such agony to the stricken
father us thousand bullets could never
produce.
He heard his daughters screams. One
was allowed to appear for moment at the
window that no might sec her, and still
he stood, appearing not to have the power
to move.
Jecring faces appeared ut tho window,
and taunts were hurled ut him. Thon
