uunter,ion's Sheriifs for II Century.
A member Of the Hunterdon County
Historical Society sends the following
interesting record to the Frenchtown
Star;
"There has been much discussion as
to the time when this or that man oc-

Alexander V. Bonnell, after serving
two years, declined reelection. At
that time the Sheriff was elected for
only one year. In 1875 change in
the Constitution made the term three
years. and Wesley Bells, having
served one year under the old law,
was then elected for n full term Of
three years.
With the exception of John Runk,
who was Wing at the time of his
election, but afterwards changed his
politics, and John 7. Cox, a Republi-

leaked out Mike Lucas had oe-
casion II few days ago to move some
furniture from ahouse ON North Union

we will call "Tom, to help him. The
owner of this house ut that time was
the owner of large dog, . Hero by

was mt times calculnted;to brighten some
people by his FRANKS. While carrying
henvy piece of furniture from the
house to the street it was necessary
for one of the men to walk backward.
When they started, mike held his
position but when he got outside he
espied Hero Now Hero neYef
did like 10 see "a man coming, to-, -Sls
him backward. and no one knew this
better thnn Mike. . He was in n
perilous position, hut his Irish wit
came to his rescue. Hastily letting
his end of the load rest on the ground,
he snid "'Tom, | never could walk
backwards while carrying any load.
I'll change with You. The change
was quickly made and fresh start
made Hero saw him coming
and wns mad all over. He gave one
spring and grabbed Tom in the
fullness of his pants with his teeth,

and the furniture was finally loaded.

STOUT WOMEN.
No Breakfast for Those Who Want TO
Reduce Their Burden of Flesh.

"At twelve o'clock sharp" writes Mrs.
S. T. Rorer in the July Ladies' Home
Journal directing the stout woman how
to cure her obesity, "the first meal OF the
day should be taken: Two we'll -broied
chops, or sweetbreads, or eggs in any form
one slice OF well-baked whole wheat bread
buttered and thoroughly mastcated, and
one green vegetable. Eat enough to satisfy
hunger, but of the more heterogeneous COM
pound. For dessert cup custard, or
fruit-grapes, peaches, oranges or bak ed
apple.
"For the night meal have clear soup, a
red meath fact, any meat except pork
veal-a succulent vegetable, like spinach,
cooked celery, little lettuce, new peas
string beans, little raw cabbage or we'll
cook ed caulitlower. All meat must be
broiled, roasted or hoiled-not fried. A
half pound of meat may be eaten at this
meal. A piece OF we'll toasted whole wheat
bread, without butter, bit of well
ripened cheese, and cup of clear coffee
may form the dessert. The success of this
treatment lies in doing without breakfast
The patient may eat sufficient to satisfy
hunger, but no more; in few days she
will find that the so called hunger is not
felt at the pit OF the stomach, and in less
than a week she will enjoy the two meals

ever enjoyed her three meals

The old man who looks out at the world
with clear and healthy eyes cannot help
feeling great qualification at the thought
that his children have inherited from him
no weakness nor tendency to disease. The
healthy old man is the man who has
throughout his life kept his digestion good
and his blood pure. Not one in thousand
does do it. Germs go through the healthy
body without effect. Let them once find
lodgment or let them find weak spot,
they will develop by the million and the
blood will be full Of them. Instead Of
giving strength to the tissues, it will force
upon them innutritious matter, and the
man will lose flesh and the more suscept.
Die he is to disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the only medicine
that absolutely and infallbly cures all
blood diseases, and almost all diseases are

some one particular so-called disease. II
is medicine for the whole body. 1t forces
out all the germs OF disease, and replaces
impurities with rich, red blood.

quantity Of cream served with the fruit

''Some of the younger members of the

Is essential to true courage and victory
That they we're mistaken is clear, for the
striking feature OF the battles has been the
courage and fearlessness of the men under
fire. This is well shown by the way in
which nearly all the men of Sampson g
fleet volunteered to go on the Merrimac
with Hobson to almost certain death
Constantly recurring victories has naturally
brought about a great deal of enthusiasm
among our fighters. Probably one of the
most picturesque examples of enthusiasm
displayed in this war is shown in the

cost OF bran feeding and care during the
six months they were in the field was $50.
The sheep came out in cool condition, the
weeds were thoroughly exterminated and
fine growth of grass took their place Be-
