Miaht Be in the Cellar.

Bishop Peck of the Methodist Epis-
copal church was large man, weigh
ing between three hundred and fifty
and four hundred pounds. While on a
tour and stopping at the residence of
a presiding elder, the good bishop
turned over in his bed, and the entire
furniture collapsed, dropping him to
the floor with tremendous thud.
The presiding elder rushed upstairs,
calling, whats the matter Bishop?
Is there anything can do for you?"
Nothing is the matter" answered
the bishop, "but if l don't answer the
call for breakfast tell your wife to look
for me in the cellar."-The Sunday
Magazine.

Status of the Conductor.

A musical critic asserts that he over
heard the following conversation at a
recent concert, the speakers being two
men of somewhat rustic appearance
who held seats right behind him:
WHO is that fellow standing up
with a stick in his hand?"

ductor."

do. anwhow?"
Just then the conductor brought
down his baton, the orchestra began
with a Wagnerian crash. and the rest
of the two strangers talk was lost to
the listener.-New York Times.

La Grippe is Epidemic Catarrh.

T spares no class or nationality. The
L cultured and the ignorant, the aris-
tocrat and the pauper, the masses and
the classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-all are liable.
Grip is well named. The original
French term, la grippe, has been short
ened by the busy American to read
grip"
without intending to do so, a new
word has been coined that exactly
describes the case. AS if some hideous
giant with awful grip had clutched us
in its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught in the baneful
grip of terrible monster.

lowing letters.

selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in
cases of la grippe or its after-effects:

the following:

attack of grip, which left serious

Author.
In the year 1892 the editor oil the
Courier was one of party of news
paper men. who joined an excursion
of the National Editorial association
to California, visiting San Diego, Cor
onado Beach, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Sacramento ana many other
points. On this trip, the aforesaid ed
itor Of the Courier was called upon to
chaperon two young ladies, near rel
atiyes. Whether or not he was good
chaperon depends upon the point Of
view from which the matter is re-
garded. Suffice to say that one of the
young ladies referred to found her af-
finity on this trip and on the return
home, announcement was made of her
engagement to one of the gentlemen of
the party The editor has never been
able to make up his mind whether he
was good or bad chaperon; but
that has nothing to do with our story.

glancing over new book entitled can

ume OF some $50 pages, coming from
the well known publishing house of A.
g. McClurg & Co., of Chicago, to find
described therein circumstances and
incidents of trip to California that
were strangely familiar in every de-
tail. Turning to the title page, he dis

Guided that it must have been simply
a peculiar combination of circum-
stances that enabled the author to de-
scribe a California trip apparently
taken some 25 years ago, and yet at
the same time relate incidents and cir
cumstances that were surely part of
an Identical journey taken by the Cou-
rier editor some twelve years later.
Now comes the Des Moines Regis
ter, whose editor was also one of the
party making UP the editorial excur-
sion in 1892, and that paper too, has
discovered a strange similarity in the
description of a California trip as
given by the author and of the events
as they occurred on the editorial ex-
cursion. The Des Moines Register
says:

RAIN CURE is THE LATEST.
Texas Discovers a Sovereign Remedy
for All Chronic Diseases.

B Austin, Tex, July G5.-The rain
cure is now being tried by number
of person in this city whenever OPP
portnnity is offorded for taking the
treatment. Some of those who have
taken it say that it is a panacea for
all chronic diseases, as we'll as many
of the lesser Ills Of the body.
There is nothing complicated about
the rain cure. All that is required
OF the patient Is that he shall stand
in the open, with his body bare Of
all clothing, and let the falling rain
pour on him.
The sensation is said to be very
agreeable. Those who have ted the
new treatment assert 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. Some of those who began

break of winter have stood in the
rain for several hours at a time with
