YELLOWSTONE PARK.
A Place That Is Full Of Exciting
wonders and the Beantics
of Nature.

OF the four national parks of the
west. the Yellowstone is far the largest.
Il Is a big, wholesome wilderness on the
broad summit of tho Rocky mountains
favored with abundance OF rain and
snow; place of fountains where tho
greatest OF tho American rivers take
their rise. The central portion Is o
densely forested and comparatively
level volcanic plateau with an average
elevation Of about 5000 feet above the
sea, surrounded by an imposing hostof
mountains. Unnumbered lakes shine
In it, united By q famous band q
streams that rush out of hot lava beds

And besides tho treasures common 20

and blessed with a kind climate, the
park is full Of exciting wonders. The

basins arraycd in gorgeous colors like
gigantic flowers. and hot paintpots,
mud springs, mud volcanoes, mush and

sistency, plashng, laving, roaring, in
bewildering abundance. In the adja-
cent mountains, beneath the living
trees the edges of petrlhed forests are
exposed to view like specimens on the
shelves of a museum, standing on
lodges tier above tier where they grew,
solcmnly silent in rigid crystalline
beauty, after swaying in the Winds
thousands Of centuries ago, opening
marvellous views back into the years
and climates and life Of thepast. Here,
too, are hills of sparkling crystals, hills
Of sulphur, hills Of glass, hills Of Gin

mountains covered with honey-bloom

neduirea a Lubrlcnnt.

Oil is always required for lubricating.
and the human machineis not an excep-
tion. Fats. however, must in cases of
intestinal indigestion be used sparing-
~ and carefully. Ten drops Of pure
olive oil once a day may be taken either
after the noon or night meal. 1t may
beput on piece of bread and thorough
by masticated. Well-made butter is an
exceedingly good form of fat, but
should be used without salt. A tea
spoonful of cream taken slowly, held in
the mouth and then swallowed, will
also answer the purpose. Bear in mind
that a small quantity Of any one Of
these frequently administered is much
more easily borne than the whole guam
tity at a single dose.-Mrs. S. 7. Rorer,

Nothing easier" said the doctor.
"Come and take dinner with me to-mor-
row."
The next day Humboldt found him
self seated at the dinner table of the
famous doctor in company with two
guests to whom he had not been in
troduced. One Of them was dressed in
black, with o white cravat and gold
trimmed spectacles. He had q smooth
face, a very bald head. and sat with
great gravity through the entire dinner.
He was gentleman of uRdoubted man
ners, but exceedingly taciturn. He
bowed. ate and said not a word.
The other guest on the contrary wore
q great shock Of hair brushed wildly,
his shabby blue coat was buttoned
askew, ihs collar was ruspled. and the
ends of his eravat floated over his
shoulders. He helped himself. ate and
talked at the same time.
Story after story did this incoherent
person tell. He mixed the past with tho
present, few from Swedenborg to
Fourier, from cleopatra to Jenny Lind,
from Archimedes to Lamartine, and
talked politics and literature in the
same breath.
At the dessert Humboldt managed to
say quietly 70 his host, glancing at the
fantastic parsonage, who was still talk
ing: Il am very much obliged to you.

The doctor looked startled.

Got Into Trouble.
A young society man of our neighbor-
ing city of Carlisle, whose gallantry is
largely in excess Of his peeuniary
means, has been in the habit of send
ing a bouquet occasionally to the girl
of his choice. In order to remedy the
defect occasioned by his lack of ready
funds and to save the money required
for the purchase of expensive flowers
he made an arrangement with an indi-
gent gardener in his locality whereby
the latter was to furnish him a bou-
quet from time to time in exchange
for some Of his cast-oif clothing.
It thus happened one day that he re-
ceived bunch of beautiful flowers,
which he at once sent off to his lady
love. In sure anticipation Of q friendly
welcome he called at the home of the
lady the following evening, and was not
little surprised al the frosty reception
he met with.
''You sent me a note yesterday" the
young woman remarked, in the most
frigid Of tones.
Ia note?" he inquired, in blank as
constituent.
Certainly; along with bouquet.
Il certainly sent the flowers, but !

"But. sir, there was a note inside
Do you still mean TO deny it? Loolil

BUN REMEMBERS THE SLANG.
Little ono Greatly shocks Her Old
8Iafd Aunt with Her Lin
EuiEtlc Powers.


/ Baby Bun was just learning to talk,
and her sharp ears took In every syl-
liable in her presence. When nobody
paid any attention to her she might be
observed studying intently the face Of
a speaker, evidently trying to ascertain
what was said from the motion of the
lips or the action Of the person talking.
Then she would move her own pretty
pink mouth in imitation and many
were the queer sounds evolved in the
process.
She was blessed with an army of un-
married uncles and aunts, all doting
and indulgent There was the tall
maiden aunt "Perfess," as her friends
knew her; Johnnie" as her family
knew her. Though somewhat kitten
ish, she was, for the most part, ex-
ceedingly proper, and it was this sense
of propriety that Baby Bun one day
quite innocently and outrageously
shocked.
1t all came about through combi
nation Of Buns ambition to chatter
and her juvenile uncle's proclivity 10
use slang, TO which same Aunt John
ME" was unalterably opposed. Every
day or so this younger brother of Buns
mother would bring in some newphrase
of the street, and one day he startled
the dinner table, and Baby Bun in par
ticular, by commanding "Auntie John
ME" or somebody else to 'come Off the
perch"
To this unique bit of English Bun
paid assiduOus attention, and her big
eyes rested admiringly upon her uncle
during the entire meal. 1t was evident
that she was training the batteries Of
her tiny intellect upon that phrase
with a view to perpetrating il when
she had mastered It's intricacies. The
family duly called the young man to
account for using the term in the child's
hearing, but as Bun made no immediate
attempt to use the expression it was
thought that she had probably. for
gotten it or given it up in disgust.
Inordinately fond of chattering was
Bun, and on occasion could become
very impatient of interruption.
One day an old man named Skinner,
who did odd jobs for the family, came
over with the information that his wife
was dead. lie asked to see Aunt John
nie," whose advice and assistance ne
desired in the conduct of the funeral.
She was up in the nursery with Baby
Bun, who insisted upon being taken
downstairs for the interview.
The old man was excessively slow
and circumstantial in his narrative, to
Which the child listened attentively,
making occasional attempts to bo
heard herself.
After he had spoken at great length
and had ignored Buns requests fog tho
floor several times, the enfante terrible
summoned all her linguistic powers for
the onslaught. The old man was in
the midst Of a lachrymose recital OF
the virtues of the departed. when Bun

Then, with look full into the olt
paan's face and a tone OF oomplafe dis

HE WAS NOT FRIGHTENED.
The Intended Victim OF a Plot Never
Lost Pun Of His
CfEnr.

AS we left Sandy Gulch for Rising
Sun there were six male passengers 20
go by the stage, and the route was
over the mountains, and full of chances
of disaster. The driver came out from
breakfast as soon as the stage was
ready, and looking about on the passen-
gers he selected q small, pale-faced
man and invited him to climb up be-
side him. While the pale-faced man
was climbing the driver whispered to
the rest of us;
Il picked him out in order to skeer
hlm to death. You fellows win see
heap Of fun before we've gone ten
milesl"
Two miles west of the Gulch the
road made a sudden turn, with a sheer
fall Of 100 feet down to Wild Cat creek,
and the driver put his horses at the
gallop and said to the pale-faced man:
I'VE may get around all right, or
we may fetch up down below. Hold
yer breath and say yer prayersl"
The passenger made no move and
did not change countenance, and after
making the course all right, the driver
rather Indignantly demanded:
didn't you see that the ofr-wheel
run within foot of the edge of the
precipiceP"
1T ran within six inches, sirl" was
the quiet reply.
Beyond the curve was a down-grade
Of mile, and with a yell and a flourish
of his whip the driver urged his horses
70 a dead run. The FIVE of us inside
had to hang on for dear life, and every
half minute the numbering stage seemed
bound to go over. Alongside the driver
the pale-faced man smoked a cigar
and seemed to enjoy the race. When
it was finished and we were climbing
the hill beyond, the driver growled;
Did ye know that if we'd struck Il
rock we'd all been dead men in no
timer
"Of course"
"And ye wasn't prayin'?"
''Not at ALL"
Three OF four miles further on the
driver tried his man with another curve
In his determination TO make a close
call of it one wheel ran off tho edge
OF the precipice, and only a sudden
effort of the horses saved the coach
We were flung in heap and frightened
half to death, but the man beside the
driver never lost puff of his cigar
When things were safe the driver
turned on him with:
That surely was the brink of the
grave" st. Louis Republic.
