Furore For Plaster Patches.

Plaster patches were introduced in
England in the reign Of Edward vi. by
n foreign lady who In this manner in.
geniously concealed a wen OF her neck.
They became such n craze and were
carried TO such exaggerated lengths
that they were finally lampooncd out
OF sight. The men. as well as the y -
men, stuck themselves over with these
beauty spots. No lady OF fashion con
sldered her toilet complete until g
was equipped with her little box Of
patches cut in her favorite design. IL
one happened TO come % I'm company.
she hurriedly replaced IL with a fresh
one from the box.
At length patching in England went
so far that party spirit was symbollzed
by the position OF the patches A letter

visit 20 the Haymarket and the dis
covery by the writer Of three classes
OF women In the boxes all differently

that those who patched on the right
side OF the forehead were Wings and
those who favored the left were To-
ries. while those who patched indiffcr-
emily on either side were a neutral
party. whose faces had not yet de-
cisred themselves.-Harper's Weekly.

one advantage I'm brine sailing Is
that It almost entirely avoids streakcd

The milk should always be skinned

ed to turn slightly sour.
Sometimes butter has white spocks
distributed through IT. This Is caused
by ovcrsOurness In the cream.
In butter making next to controlling
the temperature is TO churn often while
the cream Is I'm good condition.
with temperature under control and
churning done at the right time the
butter will become solid and be easily

ANIMAL lMITATIVENESS.
1ow n BeEgnr's Dog Grows to lie
Like His Master.


zone OF the most curious traits TO be
found In the animal nature" said an
observant citizen "is that which grows
out Of the unconscious imitativeness of
creatures of the lower order. | have
observed many instances Of where the
creatures OF lower order have taken
on the characteristics in some notice
able degree OF members OF the human
family. one might know, for instance,
the beggar's dog from the look of the
dog, from the droop Of the eye, the pa
thetic hang Of the lip and certain gen
eral air of despondency and hopeless
ness which seems 10 speak in the very
nature Of the animal. | mention the
beggar's dog because ii is a familiar
example. The bcggar's dog never looks
cheerful, never smiles, never frolics.
but simply sits by his master and
broods and begs for whatever charity
may give.

with particular reference TO tempera-
ment and his moods. The melancholy
man, the man who grovels mentally
along the gloomier groves, the pessl-
mistic man who is always looking at
the dark side OF the picture, all the men
who come within these unhappy classi-
fications rarely own a cheerful dog.
The dog unconsciously takes to the
ways Of the master and i'm his moods
initiates the masters way of thinking.
But turn TO the dog Of the jolly,
cheerful fellow. Watch him show his
teeth in laughter when the master ap.
proaches. lie is darting across the
yard and dancing and frisking around
the masters feet in the happiest way
ina ginable, and he is up TO all kinds Of
prahEs and does all kinds of little

has developed a spirit OF lawlessness

the people of this state. Scenes like
those enacted in Providence last

The readiness of some people to send

family named Chuckstcr.

An Argument For Social Franl.ness.

1t is best to be sincere, as n family in
Germantown recently found out. They
had been entertaining distinguished
novelist from abroad who was not alto

of saying things it does not mean. The

MOHAMMEOANS AT PRAYER
fhey Always Respond when the
Voice of the Muezzin Calls.


The Mohammedan begins his prayer
standing, with his hands outspread
and his thumbs touching the lobes Of
his ears. In this position he repeats
certain passages from the Koran, then
brings his hands down to his girdle,
folds them and rccites several other
passages from the same book. Next he
bends forward, rests both hands upon
his knees and repeats three times with
bowed head the formula OF prayer to
God. the most great Then he rises and
cries. "Allah hu akbar" God is great
sixteen times.
lie then drops forward until his fore
head touches the ground between his
extended hands. He strikes his head
upon the floor at least three times, pro-
claiming his humility, and often doz-
en- and sometimes twenty times the act
will be repeated, according to his de-
sire TO show humility and repentance.
lie then returns To his knees and set
tling back upon his heels, repeats
ritual Next, arising to his feet, he
holds his hands and concludes the
prayer, repeating over and again the
words, "Thcre is no god but God, and
Mohammed is his prophet"
This may be repeated once or dozen
or forty times, according to the piety
of the worshiper, and he holds string
Of beads i'm his hands to keep tally. His
obligations are then accomplished, but
he can go through the same ritual
aGain-as many times as he likes. The
more frequently he does so the better
Moslcm he is. His piety is measured
by the number Of times he repeats his
prayers. and. like the Pharisees of the
Scriptures, he prays In public places.
No matter where he happens to be or
by whom he is surrounded, whether at
labor in the fields or selling goods in
his shop or however he may be en-
ploycd, the Mussulman never forgets
20 pray when the voice of the muezzln
reminds him that the hour for devotion

CannIbnI Trout.

Trout are cannlbals, and it Is moot
question whether In some waters large
trout should not be systematically de-
stroyed. Dartmoor fishermen are In
favor OF killing them. They say that
fish I'm their streams OF one pound TO
two pounds weight are hardly ever
caught by ordinary means and live en-
tirely on their own brethren. A two
pound Devon trout is probably rcspon-
sible for the death Of several stones

OLNEYYILLK has always had |

OLNEYvILLR has always had the
undeserved reputation OF being
rough and somewhat disorderly
place. This reputation is not
founded on facts. Though a centre
of great industrial enterprises and
perhaps a hotbed for labor troubles,
still il must be considered law
abiding suburb. The present rail-
road strike, which has aroused so
much of the riotous feeling in Provi-
dence and Pawtucket, has failed to
bring to the surface any inclination
towards riot and lawlessness here.
And this, too, in the face Of the fact
that the great mill strike Is now on
and many people are idle. Olney-
vile may have its faults, but 1t cer-
tainly cannot be classed with Paw
tueket.

Starved Nerves
COMMONLY CALLED NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA.
HOW TO CURE 1T.

Nervous dyspepsia is the curse OF the
American people, and responsible for two
thirds OF all suicides committed. IL Is
caused by those parts Of the stomach and
bowels which supply the nerves with
nourishment becoming diseased and un-
able 20 furnish those vital properties
which are absolutely necessary 70 keep
them in n healthy condition. The result
is, the nerves become weak and unstrung
aud the whole body, especially the brain,
affected. To give nerve tonics, bromides
and digestive ferments 10 relieve this con
dtion IL most absurd, for the diseased di-
gestve organs can no more assimilate
aud convey these tonics 20 the starved
nerves than they can the nourishment from
the food, consequently until these diseased
digestive organs themselves have been
cured there is no hope for the person who
suffers with nervous dyspepsia.
IL is only since the discovery OF Mf-OEA,
that there has been any positive cure for
thi disease Physicians would always tell
the patient that IL required months 10 re-
store the nerves, and prescribe some nerve
tonic and digestive ferment, trusting TO
nature TO cure the diseased digestive or
gans afte- which the patient would recover.
H. however nature did not step In and
heal the diseased stomach and bowels, the
patient always died or filled suicides
grave, tonics aud digestive ferments being
practically useless in such diseases.
MONA, the new remedy Is entirely
different from any dyspepsia cure ever
sold IL does not act on the food or
nerves directly, but upon the diseased
digestive organs themselves, and when
these are i'm healthy state they extract
from the food all the nourishment required
TO keep every part OF the body in u perfect
condition, and It. does not take weeks or
months TO do 10 either In n very few days
the most confirmed dyspeptic can feel that
his food is being properly assmilated, his
nerves becoming steady and the whole
body strong and vigorous. Nervous dys-
pepsia cannot exist II MI o-NA IL used
