Practical Joke On q Minister.
Rams Horn.

Rams Horn.
Not a few preachers would be glad
to be the victim of such a practical
joke as was recently played upon the
Rev. Mr.. Hageman of Oxford, Mich.
At the usual meeting of the church Of
which he is pastor the question Of
hiring a new preacher came up for
discussion.
At the last meeting of this society,
when the subject vas brought up, a
good deacon arose and said: "All
those in favor OF retaining Brother
Hageman for another year-at the
same salary-will please rise."
Not a person rose, and the minister,
who was present, felt as uncomfort.
able as possible, and heartily wished
himself anywhere else. Then the good
deacon who had put the question arose
again and said, with o twinkle in his
eye: Il see no one favors that motion,
SO | will put it again in this way: "All
those in favor of keeping the Rev. Mr..
Hageman at an increased salary-will
please rise.'
Every one got upon his feet. Then
it dawned upon Mr.. Hageman that he
had been the victim of a joke, and q
smile lighted his eyes and the color
returned to his checks. Some of his
best friends had planned the surprise,
and the little scheme had worked to
perfection.

Old Cure for Ivy Poison.

This is the season when. the per-
son who. takes wood rambles is very
likely to suffer for days thereafter
with swollen wrists and itching
hands, sometimes suffering real
agony, from Ivy poison. Poison
oak and ivy are much like the cop
per snakes in the hills, in that both
seem to try hard to torture human
beings with their poison. and will
do so il they come too close. espe-
cially IN the spring.
A physician once told us that
there was nothing that would cure
ivy poison quickly, but that doctor-
ing it and letting it alone took
about equal time; so he advised
washing the parts affected quite
often and letting it take its course.
Now, the cure consists IN very
simple adherence to two things !:
preventing the spread Of the poison
and drying it up quickly. Its spread
can only be prevented BY washing
frequently with hot water; it's cure
by Amounting the affected parts
with tincture grindelia, procurable
in any drugstore, as soon US the
skin has heen dried.
Every camp outfit should contain
q four-ounce bottle Of grindelia. Its
cure is very rapid, and it soon
stops the almost unbearable itching
by which ivy poison is first noticed.
This remedy is very old one, but
it is not known as wen as it should

The DEVILS Work.

Judge Cochran OF the 10th Missls-
sirpi Judicial District in the course
OF a stirring charge to the grand
jury at Meridian said:
s'The twin crime with the blind
tiger is the pistol carrier; they go
together and do the devils work too
gether these two crimes are today
at the bottom of IS per cent of the
homicides in this State. The man
who puts his pistol In his pocket
does it with a criminal mind and
with the avowed purpose Of shoot-
ing-his fellow. man if, in his judg-
ment, proper occasion arises. The
constant suggestion and touch Of
the pistol in a mans pocket with
the consciousness that he is carry
ing it to shoot his fellow-man, will
almost as certainly cat out lils
moral conscience as a cancer will
destroy tue flesh where the pistol
rests. The pistol has brought ruin
to thousand homes where it has
protected one. 1t is \ relic OF saw
agery, and a disgrace to our pre-
tended civilization. We are, per-
haps the only people who pretend
to be civilized and christianized
where the carrying concealed Of this
agency of the devil aud of death is
regarded as decent and respectable.
In this day of Bibles, Sunday schools
and churches 1t is q blot on our civil
llzstion that a man Who will 60
around armed with a pistol should
be regarded as anything elese than
savage and an outlaw"

Drink Water.

Not one woman in hundred
drinks enough water to keep her
system IN a healthy condition. A
sluggish circulation and torpidity
of the liver will bring the dis6gur-
ing blemishes. Dark, shadowy,
puffy places under the eye make
one look haggard. tired and weary
of life. Massage and electric
treatment are good, but the main
part of the work of beautlfylng
must be accomplished by oneself +.
Any slight kidney disorder
brings the puffy look, and for this
disorder drinking plenty of water
Is one of the finest remedies known.
Sip the water slowly and do not
have II too cold. Three pints q
day is not a drop too much. A
big tumblerfut half an hour before
each meal, to take another big
tumblerful about two hours after
each meal, another just before 1e'
firing, and another immediately
after rising.
Exercise daily, nutrlcious food.
deep breathing, a quick hand bath
with tepid water every day, or I
cold bath every day, sleep enough
to thoroughly rest you, thor
oughly ventilated chamber-al
these are necessary to the healtf
that means beauty.
