that after this cold snap is over we

THE PARSONS LIMIT.

He'd been preaching and exhorting
For score of years or SO
In a portion of tie vineyard
Where the harvesting was slow;
Where the temporal inducement
For his ceaseless diligence
Was a promise of four hundred
For his yearly recompense.
Unrelenting was the ardor
He devoted to the cause,
And though slowly came the dollars
Still be labored without pause,
Till one day they came and told him,
AS he kicked against the pricks,
That they'd raised their offered stipend
From four hundred to six.
Then the good man sank exhausted
AS he feebly made reply,
"Don't, pray you, men and brethren'
Thus my patience Overtry,
For to CLEAN the four you We promised
Hath so warped my vital store
That 'twould kill me if you taxed me
To collect two hundred more"

In some of the Swiss valleys the inhab-
itants are all afflicted with goitre or
"thick neck" Instead of regarding this
as deformity they seem to think it a
natural feature of physical development,
and tourists passing through the valleys
are sometimes jeered by the goitrous in
habitants because they are without this
offensive sv elling. Thus form of dis
ease NAV become so common that it is
regarded as a natural and necessary con-
ditlon of life. 1t is so, to large extent,
with what are called diseases of women /.
Every woman suffers more or less from
irregularity, liberation, facilitating
drains or female weakness, AMI this Buff
ferIpg is SO common and so universal
that MANY women accept it as condi-
ton natural and necessary to their sex.
But it is condition as unnatural as it is
unnecessary. The use of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription strengthens the
delicate womanly organs and regulates
the womanly functions, so that woman

and misery which eat up ten years of her
life-between the ages o: fifteen and for.

CAT Stunned a Factory.

A cat was. responsible for days loss

B. Wright, enforcing idleness on 300
employees. The cat wandered into
the engine room of the factory, an d
when the whistle blew became fright
ened at the noise and ran into the box
through which the large belt runs
from the engine. The cat curled up in
the pit and when the engine was start
ed attempted to get out. The animal
was caught by the belt and carried
around the pulley. The large belt
was thrown offand badly torn, neces-
stating the closing of the factory for
day. When the engine was stopped
little was found of the cat except a
little tuft of hair.

Running of the ears, deafness or all

due primarily to chronic catarrh. Run

catarrh located elsewhere. This has

FATE OF AN INDIAN MURDERER.
Queer Capital Punishment Among a
Primitive Mexican Tribe.

speaking OF primitive law among The
Mexican Indians brings to mino a most
curious case that was told me some
years ago in the state of Oaxaca by an
old ZapOteca chief who had become
convert to Christianity. He said that
long while ago while an American
botanist was travelling through the
mountains OF OaXaca studying the rare
and beautiful flora OF that region, he
haG with him a mozo from another
part OF the country. He carried sew
eral gold pieces sewed in the lining Of
his Jacket. The mozo became aware
OF that fact, and one day when the
botanlSt got down on his knees to
drink at little spring, the mozo cut
his head off with machete, took the
gold pieces and fed to the higher ST.
erras.
Not long after the body was found
by some Zapoteca Indians, who had
seen the botanist in former days study
ing the flowers and plants near their
village. They knew that he was a
harmless and good man, because he
loved flowers. All Mexican Indians
love flowers. So they took the body 20
the chief and told him what they had
seen and found.
What" he said, shall the kind
stranger with the white face. who
loved flowers and sought not our
goods, nor insulted our women, come
to such dogs death among US and
not be aVenged?"
He then dispatched four swift indian
runners in different directions, with
orders not to return without the muir
derer. After a weeks time they re-
turned, bearing the malefactor, bound
in their midst. A council of old men
was called. The case was examined.
The guilt of the mozo was proved, as
he still had with him the strange
pieces of gold.
Then the old chief gave the sentence.
1t. was speedily performed. They led
the trembling murderer to the center
OF the little plaza. There four green
stakes were driven in the ground. The
murderer was stripped naked and
stretched by the wrists and feet in
the air among the four stakes, to
which he was dashed. Then the Indi-
ans made a great heap of unslacked
lime under the Wretched mans body,
and when the heap touched his breast
and sides they poured water over it
until the scalding steam of the burning
lime had cooked all the flesh from the
bones. Then they took the bones and
threw them into hole on the noun
tain side. And so was the stain of the
murdered mans blood covered and
vengeance was wrought by the Indians
in behalf of 1.-The white stranger who

WAR A STIMULUS TO DRINKING

The consumption of malt liquors in
the United States last year, says the
springfield Republican, increased heay-
lily. 1t had been predicted by the
beer brewers that the doubling of the
revenue tax would check consumption,
but in few cases only were they able
or willing to pass the tax along 10 he
consumer, and the retail price OF Deer
Was not observably advanced any
where. This will explain WHY ,..~.e
as 20 decline in the sale Of bee. Out
viii not explain why, as che L.rN,.o
dO-IAal SHOWS, The sales OF bee. al0uII
nave increased over 100000 uatle4s
This amounts to an increase o. nearly
one and one-half gallons in me per
capita consumption of beer.
We must attribute this to the war.
Over 100000 young men were taken
from civil occupations and away from
the restraints of home surroundings
and placed apart in camps where Inc
summer was passed in idleness and
dissolute recreations. Gen. H. Y.
Boynton has just made report on the
amount OF liquor SOLO TO the VOlul Leer
soldiers at Chickamagua Park last SUM
mer. The sales of beer from the ar
my canteens alone amounted to $500,
900 quarts, and whisky sales ran 50
high he could not keep correct figures"
If the liquor sold to the soldiers in
the city of Chattanooga were included,
the above figures would be doubled.
And this is all aside from the wine and
champagne drank by the officers. IN
deed, the breWeries Whereabouts were
so rushed that they sold beer before
it was ripe, and to the drinking Of
so much immature beer General Boyn-
ton attributes not little of the sick
ness in the camp. He neglects to con-
slider what the effect would be of the
constant swilling Of ripe beer in that
hto climate by soldiers from more
northerly states.
