The Economy Flour and Meal Bin

duced among u county folk. Mir.
NJ. f. Brown and assistants are
quietly prosecuting its introduction
in jefferson, and wherever shown the
universal verdict is n of decided
approval, its advantages being so
manifest on sight that but little ex-
PLANTATION is needed to induce an eX-
preston in its favor. The good
housewife at best often has many in
conveniences to contend with in her
daily cares and whatever may tend
to tighten her burdens or facilitate
her work. Ito say nothing of q great
saving in the expense account of the
family,) should be hailed with de-
light by the good husband as we'll.
In the case of the Economy Flour
Bin this has been universally the
case, as it certainly should be. 1t is
at once one of the most desirable ar
iicles for the purpose that can be
conceived, and readily commends
itself to the go cd judgment of all
who can appreciate utility, conve-
nience and economy. Mr.. Brown
now has one of these Bins set up at
his office in the Locke building, one
door west of the Methodist parson-
age, in this place, where those inter
ested are invited to call and witness
its practical working. If you have
not already given your order for one
of them, call and examine this one
and see how well pleased you will be
with this genuine housekeeper's

The Biggest Fool at Large

Is the individual who presisteutly ~neglects his
health. and the means of preserving and re-
storing it. Many persons who arc not con-
stitutional idiots do this. They are genuine
objects of compassion US well as censnre. 4
failure of appetite, loss of sleep and flesh, i'm
paired digestion, an uncertain state of the
bowels aud symptoms of bilionsness are so
many warnings ofsthe approach of disease. To
disregard them is abject folly, which offended
nature in due time Furnishes severely, If not
fatally. Tint genial and thoroughly reliable
preventive of bodily mischief in the shape OF
chronic disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
will, if resorted to in time, avert those disor-
ders, to the removal of which it is also fully
adequate. Among these nre chronic indiges-
ton, liver complaint, kidney troubles, cousti-
patton, nervousness, rheumatism and malaria.

stretch of line, passing through coun-
tries of such varying climates and char

On the snow-swept steppes of Russia

Discovered Pigmies in Africa.

Donaldson Smith, the young ply
sician who has been on an expedition
to Lake Rudolph, Africa, arrived in
New York from London on board the
American line steamer st. Louis yes
terday afternoon, and last evening
reached his homo in this city, says
the Philadelphia Times.
Perhaps of the greatest popular in
terest is his discovery of many new
tribes whose existence was previously
unknown. Among these is race of
pigmies, the fact of whose discovery
has caused commotion in scientific
circles. These curious people are of
African type. Although of great ply
sical beauty, with well-formed limbs,
they are barely removed from animals.
Late In life, they settle down and
marry. These remarkable people are
alfbetween four and five feet high aud
live in primitive conical huts.
Their only industry is corn raising
and the rearing of sheep and goats.
They are born hunters. In warfare
they use poisoned arrows, the wounds
inflicted by which prove fatal within
an hour.

Romance of the Telegraph.

A great deal of romance hovers round
the means by which the worlds news
is gathered. The speed and accuracy
with which messages are transmitted
between the uttermost parts Of the
earth is marvellous when the conditions
under which they are sometimes trans
mitted are considered. The Indo-Eu-
ropean line offers a good Illustration.
1t runs from London to Lowestoft on
the east coast of England. 1t then dips
under the sea to Emden, on the Ger
man coast where it passes right
through Germany to the Russian from
tier. From this point the wire passes
by way of Warsaw, Rowno, Odesse,
the Caucasus and Tifis, to Persia, and
by Tauris to Teheran. the capital of the
shah's dominions. There it joins the
Indian government line, which runs
from the Persian capital to Bushire on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run
