value OF the Egg In Sickness.

- ~- 100 ~
The value of egg albumen as food in
certain diseased conditions is pointed
out by DR.. G. E. Boynton. When fever
is present and appetite is nil, he says,
when we want an aseptic article Of
diet, the white of an egg raw serves
both as food and medicine. The way to
give it is to drain off the albumen from
an opening about half an inch in diam
eter at the small end Of the egg, the
yolk remaining inside the shell. Add a
little salt to this and direct the patient
to swallow it. Repeat every hour or
two. In typhoid fever this mode of feed
ing materially helps US in carrying out
III antiseptic plan of treatment. Fur
thermore, the albumen to a certain ex-
tent may antidote the toxines of the
disease. Patients may at first rebel at
the idea of eating a raw egg, but the
quickness with which it goes down
without the yolk proves it to be less
disagreeable than they supposed, and
they are very ready to take q second
dose. -Pacifc Medical Journal.

From the Tribune, Greeley, Colorado

As q Tribune representative was s~trolllng
about town the other day, looking up items
Of news, he dropped into Fezer's drug store.
This, that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed:
so far as lay in their power. The cura.
tive powers Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked of, when Mr.. Falkner. q clerk III the
store, mentioned that Mrs. Joseph Moore was
. firm believer in their efficacy. Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
q visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado. Squire Moore and Lis
amiable wife are the best known and the
most respected. The Squire is carrying his
seventy.six years as sturdily Us many men

During his residence in the United States
he has been q constant reader OF the New

of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley. and a firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was Influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring Of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice Of the Peace. an office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to

The following funny dialogue recent
~ occurred in ar English country
church when the rector was catechising
tho children. "What is your manner" he
asked a strapping girl Of 13, the only
daughter of the village boniface. He
received no relpy. "What is your
manner" said the minister. in a more
peremptory way. "Nin o. yer fun, par
son. Ye kna ma neame vera weel.
Duon't ye say, whom ye're at ri house

tho sacredness Of the place. was on a
broad grin.

AN INDICTMENT.

Low browed woman that stole my love,
Fairer than /, less true,
You fooled him first with your willy tongue
And your eyes deceitful blue.
You looked in his till you made him swear
His first love was all a dream,
While you let him toy with your yellow hair
And bask in your smiles false CLEAN.
Nelladay for your yes SO bright!
Weeping has made mine dim.
You would smile on, though he lay in his
grave
could have died for him.

NOT A HOTBOX.
The Trouble With the Train Was Quite
the Reverse.

The visitor in Washington from the
sweet potato dunes of New Jersey was try
ing the cable and electric cars around the
city, accompanied by war department
clerk who had known him years ago in
the mosquito state.
"Yes, yes" he remarked as he came
whizzing along Connecticut avenue, 1--WE
saw good many trains of cars some
slow and some not so slow, and some kind
er hetwixt and between, but the very gol
derndest beatin'est train of cars | ever did
see was one that used to run acrost the
northwest corner of the county l WI born
and raised in. don't remember the name
of it, but it used to run two trains day,
carryin passengers and freight and any
thing it could git, and many's the time
when I've took milk to our station and
got left that I've took short out through
the woods to the other station and had to
wait so long there that the milk 'u'd sour"
The Jerseyman's companion looked at
him as If in doubt.
"Its shorcrn gospel" continued the
speaker solemnly. "YoU don't s'rose I'd
be lyin while was fyin through the air

we had candidate on board that was anx

goin to make campaign Speech and the

conductor to one side, and he come back

conductor did.
II remem Der was about o. clock of a
sizzlin hot day when that old ingine got
herself Strengthened out with her nose
p'inted down the grade and the conductor
stuck his head out Of the car winder and
hollered to the engineer to let her go to
beat the band, and guess that's what he
done, for the train got to shakin and joltin
in the next ten minutes worse'n thrash

an hour or better, was surprised to see
by the scenery adjoinin the tracks that she
had stopped plumb still, and the conductor
went out a-fyin, In few minutes he

The highest death rate Of any town
in the civilized world is said to be that
Of the City Of Mexico-40 per 1000.
The city is 1000 feet above sea level,
but in spite Of this fact its defective
drainage makes the mortality very great.
