Mrs. Louis Granzow of Fort AtlIin
son was terribly burned in a gasoline
explosion last week. She took the res
ervoir out of gasoline stove to fill il
and placed it near hot cooking stove.

can, the tank exploded, covering her
with fire from head to foot. Doctors

to relieve her intense suffering. There
was not spot on her oody that was
not burned, and she died within a few
hours.
Young man, that beautiful girl
whom you worship as pillar of I'M
adulterated sweetness doesn't contain
even three ounces of sugar. 1t has
been shown by analysis that young
person weighing 154 pounds is composed
96 pounds of water, three pounds of
the whites of eggs, little less than
one pound of glue, 34s pounds Of fat,
81 pounds of phosphate of lime, three
ounces of sugar and starch, seven ounc-
es of chloride of Calcium, six ounces of
phosphate of magnesia and a little
ordinary table salt.
The iong-handled shovel has made
over $500, 600 for its inventor, and the
inventor was lazy, shiftess boy of II,
named Reuben Davis, whose father
lived in Vermont at the time. He set
Reuben to digging dirt and loading it on
wagon, and the short handled shovel
made the boys back ache. One after
noon when his father was away, he
took out the short handle and substi-
tuted long one, and found the work
much easier. When his father reached
home Reuben got licking, but after
the old man had used the shovel him
self he saw that it was good thing,
and got it patented, They are now
manufactured almost by the million.
That boys backache turned out to be
good thing for the Davis family.
&C. A. Perrin, of Beetown, Grant
county, exhibited an interesting docu-
ment in the Office of the Lancaster
Teller one day last week. 1t was
government receipt made at Mineral
Point in l845 for the land now owned
and occupied by Mr.. Perrin. The land
was bought from the government at
$1.25 an acre by Thomas Elton and
James Glover. A remarkable fact
about this piece of land, is that Mr..
Perrin bought it from these men who
got it from the government. There
has not been multiplicity of owners,
as with so many farms hereabouts in
that length of time Mr. Perrin found
his patent wasn't recorded, however,
and has made the necessary arrange
ments to have this done.
Standardization by the use Of NOR
phia, choral, and remedies suggested
by advertisements cost far more lives
every year in this country than the
whole carnage inflicted during the war
in Cuba and the Philippines. How for
tunate it would be for humanity if the
tons of headache powders, barrels of
blood purifiers, and hogsheads of liver
pills were thrown into the sea rather
men who scarcely know the functions
of single organ of the body DR..
Brewer the physio medical physician
uses none of these drugs. His remedies
are made from non-poisonous herbs and
can have no bad effect upon the system.
DR.. Brewer will visit the u. S. Hotel
in this city on Thursday, April End.

delivery routes has been approved by
the postoffice department. The box is
arranged at the end of bar, which
works on a pivot. The mail carrier
does not have to leave his vehicle in
making deliveries and collections, but
simply reaches out and draws the box
I
to him. In rainy weather this feature
will enable the carrier to pull the box
entirely within the buggy. When re-
leased the box swings automatically to
its regular position parallel to the road
BY simple device the owner can tell
from a distance whether there is any
mail in his box
There are two kinds of girls in this
and every other community. One is
the kind that appears best abroad, the
girls that are good for parties, rides,
visits, balls and cards, and whose chief
delight is in such things The other is
the kind that appears best at home,
and all the precincts Of home They
differ widely in character. One is often
a torment at home and the other a
