health department OF Chicago, the peo-
pie Of that city live twice as long as
did their grandfathers This Increase
OF vitality is attributed bv the local

probable that these have anything at
all to do with the case. The added years

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..

Burial by Degrees.

The few old eX-slaves now left in the
West Indies have many curious Gus
toms, but the most curious is that OF
burying themselves on the installment
plan. When they comb their hair they
are careful not to pull more hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into ball
and put into a bag of white muslin.
They do the same with the parings OF
their nails and any other portions OF
their anatomy which become detached
When the bag Is full they bury It II
asked why they do this they reply:
when me dead, massa, you bury me
body. Me hair am part Of me body, 50
me bury It now when 1t dead"

AN OLD ROMAN BATH.

Women used to lose their hairpins
a Thousand years ago much in the
same way as they do today. That
at least is the impression one gets
from the antiquities found during
last year at the Silchester excaya
tons.
The most interesting discovery
was the building which formed ap-
parently the principal baths of the
Roman town. The exploration o.
the baths yielded a number of ar
chitectural fragments, including a
small altar, portions of capitals and
bases, part of a large basin of Pur-
beck marble and some singular
pieces of metal.
In a filled up hypocaust were
found at least 100 bone pins which
had evidently been used to adjust
the back hair of Roman women who
used the baths. Probably they had
been dropped in the way woman
throughout the ages has shed pins
and were collected by the keeper Of
the baths. Some of them are quite
three inches long and would make
passable hatpins for the present
fashion.

Fourth of July to be Celebrated in

The American Colony in Cana nea is planning to celebrate the Fourth of July, on very elaborate scale.
 Preparations are we'll under way, various committees having been appointed, and already more than $5000.00 gold has been subscribed to defray expenses. This fund was collected in less than week, and doubtless will be greatly aug mented. The celebration will con tinue two days, 3rd and 4th, and will be enlivened by fireworks, music, all kinds of athletic sports, and dancing.
 Fat purses will be offered in the drilling, steer-tying, broncho-bust- ing, and base ball contests and horse races, and it is the intention to secure the attendance of the lead ing experts in these, in this sec ton. The Mexican citizens are also greatly interested, lending their assistance and subscribing literally.
 Cananea intends to demonstrate, that love of the fatherland is just as strong among its exiles, and promises to have the most unique and enthusiastic observance of our natal day, that was ever given in the southwest.
