PLENTY 10 TALK ABOUT.

When Jameson moved out into the
country his friends told him he had
gone to the place of vast silences."
When he had been there three weeks
he boasted that instead of being OPP
pressed by silence, he could get up an
hours conversation over brass door
knob.
Soon after he moved out, his neigh
Dor, Thompson, took an Ak to the city
to have it sharpened. Jameson was
pressed into service to bring It home.
On his arrival he had gone perhaps a
quarter Of a mile from the station
when he met Hiram Jennings, driving
team. Hiram refined in short.
Evening" he said, casually. THAT

NO" said Jameson. And then, a.
he noted the brightness Of the handle,
he added, "Sandpapered, ! guess"
II see Thompson taking an az to
town tother day." remarked Hiram.

he take it to town for?

"Took that clear to town to get 1t
sharpened?"

Huh! Wal! What'd it cost him !"
why, ten or fifteen cents, guess"
Hiram descended from the wagon,
took the ak and swung it about his
head two or three times. Then he felt
Of the edge, during which Deacon Will
bur arrived.
"Good AK" said Hiram. What dye
think, deacon? Thompson took that
clar to the city to git it sharpened."
That's the right way to do" said
the deacon. II always take my az to
the city to get it sharpened."
He picked up the ak in turn and
swung it.

again. "Now got an ak down to my
place I've been wantin' to git sharpen
ed this six months. 1 guess I'll have
to git some Teller like Mr.. Jameson,
here, to take it in for me-"
That's the way to get 1t DONE"
said the deacon, feeling the edge.
This here az reminds me of one I
used to use when 1 was a boy and
lived up to Skokieville."
He moved over to the wagon, ak In
hand, and leaned against the horse.
And Jameson, with visions Of a wait
ing dinner, followed tamely after, to
listen to long discussion Of the axes
OF other days, before his was handed
back to him..
"Silences!' he said to his wife that

Dyspepsia.-A dessert spoonful or
more Of glycerine diluted with I'VE
parts Of water and taken at the be-
ginning Of the meal prevents the usual
distress, belching, ETC., which follows
the eating Of certain vegetables and
fruits. 1t II not a cure but simply q
relief.
Eruptons on the Face.-The patient
should live temporarily, avoiding all
sdmulants and keep the bowels open.
A solution Of carbonate or bicarbonate
Of soda, one scruple to a pint Of water,
makes very good wash. When the
eruptions break and BECOME sores use
an ointment composed of lanoline one
ounce and oliate of mercury one grain.
rubbed on two or three times daily.
Black heads should be steamed and
squeezed out and the spots rubbed with
the ointment few times.
HomeMad Liniment-The primary
purposes of liniment are to serve az
disinfectant and to allay Inflammation.
Nature must do the rest toward curing
cuts, bruises or wounds Of any kind.
Swellings, aches and pains result from
Inflammation and require the use Of
liniment. A very good one for both man
and beast Is composed of ALCOHOL, one
pint; spirits of hartshorn, III ounces;
turpentine, one gill; sweet oil, one-half
pint; line arnica, five ounces; chloro-
form. two ounces. This will make about
IN pints the equivalent of which in
quantity and quality Of patent lini-
ment would cost from 81 to IS.
The Rain Cure.-This Is the latest
fad. All that Is required of the pa
tient IL to stand in the open with the
body bare Of all clothing in the falling
rain. The sensation is said to be very
agreeable. Those who have tried 1t as
sert that the rain falling upon the bare
body invigorates the whole system and
Is especially strengthening to the
nerves. There Is no set rule for taking
the treatment. It Is declared that the
rain cure IL sure remedy for rheu-
matism and that decided improvement
has been noted In cases Of persons af-
licted with tuberculosis. For nervous
disorders the treatment is said to b
infallible, although we do not take
much stock in It.

agents of the companies should not bid
against each other while buying at the

to do. Competition in the sale of beef
was TO be avoided by fixing upon a

The quantities of beef on sale were to
