Mrs. Rhode Noah, of this place,

ing pains and the next day diarr-
hoea set in. She took half bottle
Of blackberry cordial but got no re-
lief. She then sent to me to see il
l had anything that would help
her. / sent her a bottle Of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr-
hoea Remedy and the first dose re.
lieved her. Another of our neigh
bors had been sick for about week
and had tried different remedies
for Diarrhoea but kept getting
worse. ! sent him this remedy.
Only four doses of it were required
to cure him. He says he owes his
recovery to this wonderful remedy.

INsESoUs Woes- RATS The
wood rat of the western slopes Of
the Cascade range is curious Great
ure that loves to steal SO well that
it is known to many as the camp
robber. 1t carries off anything it
can lay its lips to, and is besides
jolly reckless fellow. 1t does things
which rodents are not given to do
ing.
Forest and Stream tells of some
of its favorite spoils. Ii will take
knives, forks and tin plates, cart
ridges, cups and anything it can
handle in the line of clothing, tow
els or gun rags, which make soft
Innings for its nest. 1t is related
how pair of these rats staked of
claim on top of hunters camp
stove, and put up the most curious
rat house anybody had ever heard
of. About 200 yards away was a
railroad shanty, where the section
men kept their supplies, and among
other things was keg of railroad
spikes, such as are used to fasten
the rails to the ties. The rats took
some spikes to their claim, built up
an iron wall, and lined the interior
with soft stuff. 1t is curious fact
that all the points of the spikes
were directed outward, and they
were laid with great regularity and
| firmness.
The habits of the rat ARE q study
for naturalist, and it makes things
so interesting for he natives that
they kill il on sight.

A DANe~ RoUs MEDICAL PRAo-
TIcE.- ne Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association refers to o
physician who recently appeared at
bis medical association carrying q
pocketful of spoons for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the danger
and folly, in medical practice, of
gauging the volume Of the dose to
be administered to a patient by SO
uncertain q measure. He stated
that he had gathered the spoons at
the houses of his patients and meas
ured their capacity, which he
found different in every case, rang
ing from two-thirds to three times
the standard capacity. One tea
spoon held exactly five time as
much as another. He had brought
them to serve as q warning to his
colleagues in ordering their medi-
cines.

THE FAsTE TYPEWRITER
Patent rights have just been grant
ed to a young inventor in st. Paul
for Improvements on the typewrit-
ing machine which will greatly in
crease its speed. The improve
nents consist of the introduction
OF the stenographic principle,
making the machine capable OF
printing whole words at single
strokes of the keys. Many of the
small words aud word endings
which are most frequently used arc
represented in the new machine by
separate keys of their own. and by
clever device the spacing is made
to correspond automatically with
the length Of the words thus set
apart. Another time-saving device
is the two space lever, which en-
ahles the operator to form the space
between the words with the same
stroke which makes the last letter
OF o word. An automatic spacer,
used to print tables of figures and
similar work, is also added TO per-
feet the equipment Of the new type
writer. The inventor claims that
the device is much greater than has
been secured. Next he proposes to
introduce electricity as the motive
power in the manipulation OF all
the mechanical parts, leaving it
necessary for the operator only to
press lightly on the keys to print
whole words with great rapidity.-

LEMON FoR THE BATH AND
TEETH.-In the West Indies a lem
ON n-sAth is-efnsost . daily luxury.
Three or four lines or lemons are
sliced into the water, which is
drawn half an hour before using,
SO that the fruit joice may have a
chance to permeate, and the deli
ciousness of such Tubing must be
felt to be appreciated. The sense
of cleanliness and freshness it gives
and the suppleness and smoothness
it imparts to the skin is az expert
ence not soon forgotten. The lem
on is more than substitute for the
bran bath bags which were invented
by the French and which exquisites
thinks so necessary for the toilet.
Half a teaspoon of the juice Of
the lemon squeezed into q glass of
water and used for brushing the
teeth gives the mouth the same feel
ing of cleanliness that the lem on
bath gives to the skin. 1t is par
ticularily grateful when sickness
renders the mucous and salivatory
excretions Of the mouth unpleas-
ant. Not more than half teas
poonful should be used, as power
ful acid is bad for the enamel, but
on occasion the proportions may be
increased, as lemon is an active
deodorizer and will remove the smell
of onions aad tobacco from the
mouth.

not once asking which was Esther. He
felt convinced that the pretty one must
