Mother Nature is great artist, and

Pineapple is good for the stomach
and air passage. Rice. all cereals and
white vegetables, such as cauliflower
and parsnips, are wholesome. But
pickles and piecrust, hot cake and too
many sweets will make one look
pasty, because they lack the acids and
salt which nature needs to cleanse her
machinery. Oil she must have. too,
from the olive and nut. to keep the In.
ternal wheels revolving.

PARIS MARKET WOMEN.


MN0ftL2s
Writing IN the Fortnightly, Mr.. Al
bert Vandam. in the course of an In.
teresting paper on the Paris market
women. tells an amusing story. They
never fail to resent the wrong done TO
any Of their fayorites.
Forty-four years ago the architect
Of the present Halles suffered such Q
wrong. Queen Victoria was on her
memorable visit to Paris, and n Bal.
tard was anxious to be presented 10
Her Majesty at the ball given in her
honor by the Paris municipality.
Haussmann, to whom NJ. Ballard ex.
pressed his fish. was all the more
anxious to oblige him. inasmuch as he
(Baltard) was his own architect.
Unfortunately, NJ. Ballard had a
beard like pard. and 1t was common
ly supposed at that time-the time OF
the Crimean War-that the English
Queen did not like boards Hauss-
mann therefore advised the architect
to part with that magnificent hirsute
adornment.
The advice was acted upon. and on
the evening of the ceremony Ballard.
clearly shaven. posted himself close
to the Project of the Seine while the
latter was presenting the various per-
sonages Of note. Haussmann took not
the slightest notice of him. and was
rather vexed at the frantic gesticuia-
lions with which Ballard endeavored
to draw his attention.
At the conclusion of the presenta.
lions Haussmann went up to the man.
whom he suspected to be an intruder.
escaped. perhaps from some private
Iunatic asylum.
What is the matter with you. mon
sieur?" he asked, "and why this very
strange behavior"
What's the matter with mel" re-
piled Ballard. Why did you not pre-
sent met"
who are your"
II am Ballard"
Haussmann had failed to recognize
him, and Ballard had made the sacri-
fee of his beard In vain.
When the story came TO the ears OF
the market women they we're very in
dignant. They threatened to take re-
prisals by shaving Haussmann's beard
II they could get hold OF him. Mean
while. to mark their sympathy with
their favorite. they ordered dozen
cases OF Rowland's Macassar Oil and
sent them to Billiards. house. They
were found unopened at Victor Bal
tard's death. In 1874, for of course his
beard had grown again quite naturally.

Kansas City Times.
Heather are growing scarce. in the sense
that the word used 10 be used in the sun
day school childhood of men and women Of

thirty years ago covered all the romantic
range from the cannibals. who stiu linger-
ed and hungered in the isles of the South
Pacific, TO the benighted half-chiidren of
Asia and the uncouthly savage blacks Of
Africa. Where is one to seek the heather
now? The true heather. armed with war
clubs and assegias and bows? And thirst
ing all the while for the white mans
blood? The heather of yesterdays style is
very hard TO find. Ee's almost as rare as

GUBuKNAToRIAL SUGGESTIONS.

There is a formidable list of candi-
dates and suggestions for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor at this
early day, and others may hereafter be
brought into prominence.
AS the Register understands it, these
gentlemen are not inclined to go into
the usual convention scramble for the
nomination, but any one of those men
toned below, it is believed would ac-
cept the nomination if rendered by the
party There may be two or three ex-
ceptions to this rule, but not more.
The gentlemen understood to be cam
didates or who have been mentioned
with distinct approval are: Judge
Daniel B. Lucas, of Jefferson; Col. For
rest w. Brown, of Jefferson; Judge E.
Boyd Faulkner, of Berkeley; Col
Moore Jackson, of Harrison; Col. Clar-
ence L. Smith, of Marion; Hon. Owen
Mckinney, of Marion; Judge Lew Tav-
ener, of Wood; Hon. John H. Holt, of

Hon. Rankin Wiley, of Mason; Hon.
Joseph E. Johnston, of Mercer, and ex-
Governor W. A. MacCorkle, of Kama

HAVE KRUPP GUNS.
The Filipinos Have Used the Delay
Of the Rainey Seas IN TO Good Ad-
vantage.

WASHINGTON, September 24.-Act-
ing Secretary Allen, of the Navy De-
partment, received a cable from Rear
Admiral Watson to-day giving a brief
account of the engagement at Subig
Bay 1t is dated the oath, at Manila;
the important feature of the engage
ment is the fact which is disclosed that
the insurgents have been able to OBJ
tain Krupp guns. 1t was known at the
time of the outbreak of the insurgents
against the Americans that the artil-
lery OF the insurgents consisted of
few obsolete guns captured from the
Spaniards. Now they have been able
not only to obtain but to mount sixteen
pieces at an important point not far
from Manila. Acting Secretary Allen
says that it is evident that the navy
at Manila does not intend to allow any
fort to be erected by the insurgents
he is convinced that the squadron under
Rear Admiral Watson will be able to
keep the shores guarded and repeat the
lesson of yesterday if the insurgents
are found to be operating on the coast.
A FORT DESTROYED.
MANILA, September "a, HIPS a. m.
The United States cruiser Charleston,
the monitor Monterey and the gun
boats Concord and Zafiro, with ma
rines and blue jackets from the cruiser
Baltimore, left Cayite September 18th,
and, as already cabled, proceeded to
Subig Bay to destroy an insurgent can
non there.
Owing to the bad weather the opera
ton was postponed until yesterday,
when the warships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangapo and
the entertainments where the gun was
situated.
Men from the Charleston, Concord
and Zafiro were then landed under a
heavy insurgent fire, proceeding to the
cannon, which was utterly dies troyed by

LESSON FOR THIS COUNTRY.

Richmond Times.
The situation in the Transvaal is most
critical and war is threatened, although
there is always hope of peace in this age
until hosulities have actually begun. The
British government does not want war and
has been honestly endeavoring 10 prevent
it, But British subjects in the Transvaal
are demanding protection in what they
claim to be their rights and Great Britain
always takes care of their subjects, wher-
ever they may be.
There is lesson in this to those Amer
lean citizens who want this country TO ac-
quire and control foreign possessions.
Great Britain pursues the colonial policy
and she must always be ready for war at a
moments notice. She is never sure of
peace for twentyfour hours at time.
We are having a taste of this sort of
thing in the Philippines. In the fortune of
war these Islands have fallen into our
hands and some Of the islanders are in re-
bellion against our authority 1t is neces-
sary that we put the rebellion down and
that we establish order and good govern
ment there But as soon as that shall
have been accomplished, as soon as we
have honestly and fearlessly discharged
our obligation in that quarter, we should
bring our troops home and pursue our old
time policy of attending 70 our own bust
ness and letting European diplomacy Sc
Verely alone
