Are You Married?

Nature intended that all human beings should mate as soon as they reached the age of maturity, but un- fortunately society, custom and sur roundings have willed it otherwise. However, should nature have it's course, some communities are so small that 1t IS impossible te mate It's young people satisfactorily, and they are forced to pass down the river of life forgotten and alone. A happy thought was the formation of ;he Affinity Publishing Company, of Scranton Pa. They arc issuing a high class matrimonial journal winch is widely endorsed. Its ob- feet is to bring kindred souls to- gether by means of correspondence, and no doubt the result will be a number of happy marriages. Sam pie copies of the journal can be ob- tained for ten cents by addressing AFFINITY, Scranton, Pa.

Lively as a Cricket.

Although in the first instance as sluggish as a tortoise, the kidneys become as livelp as cricket when a healthful lmpnls- is given to them with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a promoter of activity in these organs which counteracts a tendency to their lethargy and disease. lnac- ton of the kidneys, il should be re- membared, is the first stage of those dangerous renal maladies against which the resources of medical science are tCo often exhausted in vain. Peril is iorestalled by the Bltters, which averts Bright's d : sease, diabetes, drOpsy, gravel and the troubles arising from week bladder. Equally eficacious is il Tn checking and eradicating malar- ial, bilious and nervous ailments, dyspcps.a. constipation and rhcu- matism. Appetite and sleop arc improved and convalescsnce has tened by its bcneficient actions. Either when health is slightly or seriously impaired, the value of this restorative and preventive med iclne is speedily made manifest.

An Erratic Corpse.

Capt Hogue reports that he and Judge Pratt were obliged to post pone their Christmay festivities un- til the 26lh, by rcson of report brought to the rancho early Christ mas morning by a highly excited messenger, on a foam-fscIled horse, to the effect that Willis Jackson WAS lying dead on the road, and asking assistance to bring the corpse to tho ranche.
 A corpse was not particularly needed to enhance the bilarity of the Christmas festivities, but both gentlemen ever ready to act in the cause of humanity, at once made ready to repair to the assistence oi the messenger. Judge Pratt went one way to send word to Jacksons brother, and the Captain with g wagon to bring in the corpse, when tho Captain got this far in his re- cital oIe of his hearers broke ir with the querry, 'And did you sec the corpse?' "See him." answered the Captain, "of course 1 saw him | f shook hands with him " Tn fpr ther explanation, the Capt. stated, that the supposed corpse had sim ply been thrown from his horse striking his head upon a rock, ren derIng him unconscious, after the departure of the messenger, he rs covered, and started for the rancho thus meeting the Captain and per forming the hand-shaking episode

Merry Mummcrs.

The year 1895 went putin a blaze of glory, so far as the St. Johns So- cial Club is concerned, and they were at the wake.
 The club decided about a week ago to give & r.asked ball on the last day of the year. As St. Johns has no costumer, it devolved upon participators, to provide themselves with homo made costumes, and every needlewomau Tn tho town was pressed into the service, and busy week was the result.
 Armory Hall presented lively and picturesque appearance on the eventful evening, and both sides of the largo room was lined with spec tators, awaiting inc advent of the maskers, A bout halfpast eight the merry ones began to flock in, and the grand march was immediately formed, conducted by Mir. Stafford, who represented Dutch soldier, and who led his followers through the most intricate cvoll tions in de- 1 shtfully dutch and stolid manner, an 10 tho intense relish of the spectators.
 No one knew who bis or her part ners were. and most awful mix ture was the result. The "devil" clung lovingly to the arm of isis ter oi charity" Dundreary mbled complacSntiy with demuro little nun. A Harlequin and Fairy jog ged along together. with clowns court fool, colunbihes. Little Red Rldlng Hood, ,Gypssy fortune teller, Dude, Siamese twins, trumpeter, Japanese maid, bride. Santa Claus while rondescrIpt, and, distortions of a motley character made up the balance.
 Alter the grand march, dancing was indulged in, until about ten o'clock, when ail unmasked, and lunch was served, promptly at l2 o'clock in conformity with a strict law of the club, the dance termin- ated, and all wont home, a pleased and happy throng.

Is it "oyerwork" that has filled this country with nervous 6yspep. ticsY-that takes the flesh off their bones, the vitality from their blood, an! makes them feeble, emaclated and inefficient? No. It is bad cook ing, overeating oiindigestable stuff, and other health-destroying habits.
 The remedy is an artlficially dl- gested food such as the Shaker Di- gestive Cordial. Instead of lrri,at- ing tho already infamed stomach the Cordial glves it at chance to rest by nourishing the system itself and d,gesting other food trken with it. So flesh and strength return. Is not the idea rational? The Cor dial is palatable and relieves i'm. medistely. No money r'sked to decide on its value. A 10 cent trial bottle does that.

The villain STROBE up and down the
stage cycle path and ground his teeth
with rage, says the New York World.
"He struc-c-c-c-k Cecil Legree!"
In very ecstasy of fury the villain
stamped his feet and tore his hair.
"He struck Cecil Legree! No man
ever did that and lived to tell the tale.
And as for the girl--ah, me proud beau
ty, you shall yet feel the vengeance of
Legree!"
What venom, what hatred there was
in the bitter words.
Even the pale moon wobbled in the
canvas heavens.
81 have the papers; ha, ha, hal I'll
bide me time, and then, then III cross
his path again!"
Raising his clenched hand the villain
served notice upon high heaven and the
property moon that some day he would
puncture proud Lord Reginald's tire.
"Pll cross his path againl Til cross
his path again!" he repeated.
A whirr on the air of the Silly night,
an ominous grinding upon the theatrical

Aoricans Should Eat More Green VeRe-
tables and Salads.


tables and Salads.
Authorities on diet believe that It.
would be well for most of us who are
IN health to eat more green vegetables
with our meat and starchy foods than
we 90 at present, says the New York
Fost. Indeed, some go so far as to be-
heve that the absence from our menus
OF plenty of green vegetables and salads
accounts for the biliousness of the
American people. The best known of
such plants are lettuce, beet-tops, dan.
delion, kale and spinach, but Mr.. Col
vile, botanist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, finds that
there are many other palatable and
nealthful plants that, though rarely
used, might add pleasant variety to
our list of available vegetables. One of
these, winter cress," or Barbarea proc.
COX, which is cultivated from this CITY
southwark and is sold in large qua nth
ties in the Washington markets, is
planted in late summer or early fall
and needs very little cultivation. An
nther plant that belongs to the spinach
and beet family, though it is a COM
mon weed in fields and gardens in near
~ every part of the United States, is
lambs quarters" or Chenopodium al
bum. 1t is in many places commonly
known either as pigweed or goosefoot,
but it is not the true pigweed. The
plant has pale-bluish green color, and
Is used when six or eight inches high
Is tender, juicy and pleasant to the
taste. The teasing weed, the common
garden "pusley," or "pnrslane," when
boiled is also recommended as most
palatable green vegetable and can easily
be had. In India, where it originated,
the plant has been used for hundreds of
years. In Europe it is used both as pot
herb and for salads.
