Powdered Crab as q Medicine.

A Russian journal that has recently
come under our notice calls attention to
the fact that for some 20 years past the
inhabitants of a malarial locality in
the government Of Kharkov have used
powdered crabs with great success in
the case of fevers. The powder is pre-
pared in the following way: Live crabs
are poured over with the ordinary
whisky until they get asleep. They are
then put on bread pan in hot oven,
thoroughly dried and pulverized and
the powder passed through fine sieve
One dose, teaspoonful, is generally
sufficient to cure the intermittent fever
In very obstinate cases a second dose is
required. Each dose is invariably pre-
coded by glass Of aloe brandy as a
purgative. The powder is used in that
locality in preference to quinine. So
says the Journal We will not vouch
for it.-New York Ledger.

the ground in the hope of finding an
other. In the course Of his long life
he picked up q goodly amount of gold
and silver, but all these years he cav
not that heaven WAS bright above him

LITTLE MONEY IN MEAT.
How Restaurant rropr7 tors Suffer From
the Mako Up orMe0a Cards.

How Restaurant ProprE tors Suffer From
the Make Up offMeoa Cards.
"If all restaurant r~:prietors, /" said
one of them, who has zen well known
as the owner 81 q Broadway eating
place for the last ten yeas, could on
ly induce their customers to eat less
meat they not only would make more
money, bat they would give bettertsat-
isfactisn all round. In the first place,
there is little or no money for the res
taurant keeper In selling boiled or roast
meats. 1t coSts,too much 10 handle them
and requires too much time to prepare
thsnfand servelthem as they should be
to leave any profit for the man who
does it.
And in tho second place the patrons
order meats when they would much
prefer something else. That is the fault
of the proprietor. He arranges his menu
wrong. The small steaks, the,cheps and
the outlets and all the other meats to
order ara placed TOO conspicuously On
the bill Of fare. A mans eye is bound
to catch thatgliSt first, whether the man
wants meat or not Being ina hurry,
as 50 men ont Of 100 are in the country,
no ccders the FIRST attractive dish no
finds, and tho result is he gets some
thing he docs net caro- particularly
about and something which tile restau-
rant man docs not care particularly
about selling 30 him. ,.-.
Last winter the man who raps the
restaurant in the national house Of rep
resentattxes tried an experiment which
turned out remarkably well. He deffb-
eately set to werk 10 lure his patrons
away from the steaks and chops to or
der column, and so instead of printing
it in bold black lettcYs in the middle of
the bill ofsfare he tucked IL away down
in the lower right hand corner and
placed at the top Of the card list of
the dishes that were most profitable 10
hm. They proved not only to be most
profitable to him, but most satisfactory
to his customers, and instead of using
six loins Of meat a day, as he had done
before, he used only one and a half and
supplied the same number of guests. -

In Memory Of Willie Hadden.

On October 9th, '97, at IL o'clock
while the sun seemed to be shining
with its greatest orbs, and the sky az
clcud!ess IS the still, blue waters, and
the birds so shy and gay, there was
an awe-struck and reverend silence
while the angel of death, noiselessly
entering and departing, gathered our
dear loved Willie for his immortal
garden of flowers; while the hour OF
death was drawing near and close at
hand, he seemed to know that heaven
was not far off. As he called his
friends to his bedside and told them
of that great and beautiful life that
was beyond, it seemed that it was
GOO himself that was in the room
strengthening his voice so that his
friends should heed his warning. Il
is hard to part from those we love,
but God knows best.
While he was in the bloom Of youth
and we had just begun to realize that
be was binding link to our family
circle, and to appreciate him most, he
was called before the Great King to
whom we all must give account We
must all learn to bear the bitter things
of this life as well as the sweetest, for
such is life. We could never be able
to appreciate the sweetness of this life
unless bitterness should appear.
1t was one of the saddest hours of
our lives, and yet one Of the brig htest,
for he showed us that there was be-
ing that ruled with supreme power
How often do we think of friends
dear to us from whom we must part
forever! and when we do, how sad
we feel; but when the reality is at
hand it is a sadness that is hard to
bear. When we have looked upon
the pale, deathly face and bid it good
bye for the last time on earth, we turn
away with our hearts heavy and sad,
and see only gloomy and dark days
before US; but, we have that one
grand hope that we can meet him
some day, with God as our guide, to
bid adieu no more. 1t is hard to give
the remains of one we love to the cold
vault of earth. Yea, the thought al
most causes a delicate woman to go
into Mysteries, and the strong man 10
break down.
With sad hearts we turn to our
home cherishing the remembrance of
our dear Willie. BROTHER

A STRANGE NIX UP.
How the Theft of Bicycle Led to Em-
barrassing Complications.

barrasstng Complications.
Among the strange complications for
which the bicycle has been responsible
the following is rather masterpiece In
point of intricacy. Those persons who
took part in it are now disposed to view
the incident with some pride as tri-
umph of confusion and misunderstand-
ing not likely to be duplicated.
B., who lives far up town, had COCA
sion to visit bicycle store on the Bou-
levard few days ago. He left his
wheel outside, near the rack in which
stood several machines for rent. While
he was attending to his errand inside
the shop he ohanced to glance out
through tho door just in time to see o
man spring upon his unguarded wheel
and ride off at furious pace down the
street. With an exclamation of rage B.
rushed to the sidewalk, seized one Of
the wheels from the rack and started off
in hot pursuit of the thief.
The proprietor Of the shop stood for
a moment aghast. He had not seen the
beginning If the trouble, and the only
thing clear TO him was that his sup
posedly honest customer had made an
astonishingly bold attempt to steal a
wheel from the rack. There was only
one thing to be done. Jumping upon
another wheel, he Joined in the chase,
and the three scorched up the Boule-
ward in admirable racing style. The
real thief proved the poorest rider of
the three, as the shopkeeper was unques-
tionably the best, and the result Of this
state Of affairs was that the distances
between the different members of the
trio grew speedily less AS they drew
together truck crossed the avenue,
crowding them into small space. The
rate at which they were going preclud-
ed any dismounting, and the three came
into collision with a resounding crash.
Before they had fairly extricated them
selves a policeman appeared. His first
proposition was to run them all in"
for searching, but, impressed by the I'M
usual excitement of his prisoners, who
seemed. to be more disturbed in mind
than 6fdinary scorchers, he waited to
hear their stories.
Ihls, as may be imagined, was no
short task The genuine thief was the
only one who saw humor in the situa-
tion. Knowing that he had nothing to
say for himself, he stood by and grin
ned, while the shopkeeper and his cus-
toner sputtersd cut angryxand conflict
ing ACCOUNTS Of the affair. But the truth
was finally ascertainsd. AS he collared
the guilty man and dismissed the other
two the policeman announced that NO
charge Of soorehins would be pressed
against anyb9dy.
