A Bad Habit.

"Sixty- eight," murmured young IL
brarian as woman waiting for q
book leaned forward and touched her
cheeks and lips to the top of the brass
guard about the desk.
BEG pardon" said the woman. "Did
you speak to me"
"Oh, no; I'm just counting the per-
Sons whose lips have touched that rail
this afternoon. You are the sixty
eighth"
The woman started back in disgust
and hastily wiped her lips on her hand
kerchief.
II was unconscious of what 1 was
doing" she exclaimed.
II suppose they all are" was the la
comic reply.-Youth's Companion.

A WEAK STOMACH.
IL May He strengthened by Wearing
a Wide Flannel Bahdage-

All who suffer from poor digestion
should wear ten inch width of fan
mel bandage next the skin, pinned fair
ly tight round the body over the stom-
ach. No liver or digestive pill or pep
sin preparation helps the stomach a
twentieth part as much as his flannel
prescription. "A poor circulation in the
stomach, causing that chilly, "misera-
ble' feeling, is at the root Of half the
indigestion that mortals are heir to-.
That Is why hot water drinking gives
relief. 1t helps the circulation. A fan
mel bandage worn day and night all the
year round cures the faulty blood cir
culation of the stomach; consequently 1t
cures dyspepsia. Five hours interval
between meals, avoiding fried foods,
made dishes and mixtures and observ.
ing three or four "Lenten meals" in ev-
cry week are golden rules for good d.
gestion. A good dinner at night is nee
essary for those whose pleasure or
work keeps them up very late but for
ordinary folk who dine at and 60 to
bed about 1870 only q light, whole
some repast should be taken at the end
of the day, when the muscles and
nerves are more or less exhausted. A
tired stomach is a weak stomach" is a
golden rule to remember, yet how often
one hears people say:
1--WE been rushing about all day and
am tired to death. l must have q big
meal to make up for it." You may put
the big meal into the stomach, but you
cannot make the stomach digest it.

A boarding House Superstition.

Speaking of bad luck" said land
lady the other day, did you ever hear
that it was bad luck to go back to a
house you had once lived in? Well, it
is. l heard some one say that when
was little girl, and some way it has
always remained in my mind. If any
person who has lived in my house goes
away and talks of coming back / al
ways try to dissuade him. One young
fellow scoffed at the idea, yet the day
after he came back to live with me
he lost his position and did not get an
other until he moved away from my
house. He would have stuck it out
only / told him l would have to have
my room. So he went away, and at
once secured another and better posi-
ton than the one he had when he first
came to me-"

The Best Bargain on Record.

Probably never in the history of the
world was better bargain made than
the purchase of the island of Grenada,
in the British West Indies. 1t was
bought by the French from the Caribs
by solemn treaty in the middle of the
seventeenth century, and the price
paid was two bottles of rum. Esaus
mess of pottage was good stroke of
business by comparison. The Caribs
soon regretted having sold their birth
right and vainly tried to get the island
back by force. 1t is now one Of Eng
lands most prosperous colonies in the
West Indies, with q population Of over
$4,000 and big trade.

English Estimate of Emerson.

A single short work of Emerson's,
the essay on Compensation" is enough
to convince one that this was a man Of
true genius. We have never read any,
thing in Thoreau approaching that and
other works of Emerson in originality
or beauty. But Emerson is the best Of
the American writer's. Was 1t Henry
man," One cannot imagine an intellect
which failed to admire Compensation"
or which was convinced by it's trans

Wallace Jarrett, Helpless With a
Broken Leg, Sends the Dog
for Assistance.

A pretty story of a faithful dog
comes up from White Bird. While
riding out i'll a wild part of the
country, last week, Wallace Jarrett S
horse fell with him, breaking the
riders leg and pinning him to the
ground. Jarrett fired his pistol un-
til it was empty hoping to attract
attention, but in vain. Then he
called his collie dog to him, tied a
handkerchief around its neck, and
told it to go to the house for help.
The dog obeyed and brought aid
to the injured man, who had lain
there without attention for four or
five hours. Jarrett is said to be re-

pected.-Grangeville Standard.
