The proprietor of a little hotel at Fowler was amazed the other day as he walked into the parlor and found a newly arrived drum mer from Lafayette sitting on the sofa with his arm around biß daughter’s waist. “Jesse, tell that man to take his arm from around you,” the Fowler man indignantly commanded. “Tell him yourself,Y said Jessie, “ He’s a perfeot stranger to me.”

KIND OF A BOY WANTED.

Did you ever stop to think that when a business man looks for a clerk that he does not hunt for the youth who talks “sassy,” uses slang,. smokes cigaretts or tape beer kegs? They look for the boy who is neat ( in appearance, gentlemanly in his actions, clean in his talk and courteous to those whom he meets. Altho you may think that no one watches you or knows yonr character, it is safe to say that there is not a business man in town bnt who knows the character of every boy in it. If you wish to become a useful man it is you and you alone that must accomplish it. —Exchange.

TO FRIENDS OF THE DEMOCRAT

Instruct yonr attorneys to bring legal notices in which yon are interested or have the paying for, to The Democrat, and thereby save money and do us a favor that will be greatly appreciated. All notices of appointmentas administrator, executor or guardian, survey, sale of real estate, non-resident notices, etc., the clients themselves control, and attorneys will take them to the paper yon desire, for publication, if you mention the matter to them; otherwise they will take them to their own political organs. Please do not forget this when having any legal notices to publish.

AN OUTSIDE OPINION.

Over about Jasper and Newton and Lake counties they have a paper called the Kankakee Valley Review, which is dated as if it were printed at Thayer, Roselawn, Wheatfield and other places, the object being to pretend to be a bonafide publication printed in each of three or four adjoining counties. The scheme was to arrange with certain public officials to send it legal notices required to be printed in these several counties, according to the expose of the Jasper County Democrat, which now announces that Uncle Sam has stepped in to pat a stop to the practice. The Democrat truthfuliy adds: “A person who is operating a questionable game or is trying to do an illegal act, always hates the man who brings him up with a short turn.” Yes, that’s been the Republican’s experience, too. —Winamac Repu blioan.

Bargains in Used Weber Pianos.

The operatio artists of the great Conried Metropolitan Opera Company returned a number of Weber Upright Pianos to Lyon & Healy; also the recent moving period in Chicago resulted in a number of rented Weber Upright being returned; in addition to this all of the Weber Uprights taken in exchange for several months past have recently been overhauled in Lyon & Healy’s factory and sent to the warerooma for sale. The result of these three sources of supply is that Lyon & Healy are now holding a great Weber sale. Everyone knows that the Weber is one of the finest pianos in the world, by many it is preferred to any other. So this Weber sale affords to music lovers a chance to secure a magnificent piano at about the price usually paid for an ordinary instrument. Any one who is interested in a fine piano should not hesitate to write to Lyon & Healy aboot these Webers. A great many different styles are includedyin this offering. Easy monthly payments will be accepted* from responsible persons who do not care to pay all cash. Write to-day to Lyon & Healy for their price list of Weber anc other pianos slightly used, that figure in their special thirty-day offer, 10 Adams Street, Chicago.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Cara’of Canary Bird*. Put slippery elm bark In the drinking vessels. For colds give a canary one drop of sweet oil at a dose. A hit of fig or apple and for one of the larger birds a live worm will prove a tonic. Taste the bird seed yourself to be sure it Is pure. Never use hemp seed. Be careful to dry thoroughly the perches after cleaning the cage. Damp perches are the chief cause of rheumatism. Thoroughly wash out all the vessels with hot water every day. The aphae. the parasite that forms In water left standing in a cage, is the deadliest enemy of bird life. If the bird shows signs of general debility, as molting ojit of season, give him iron in much greater strength than he can get from a rusty nail lu the water and counteraetjThe one bad effect of Iron with sulphur. Keep the bird out of drafts. It Is best to hang his cage about five feet froth the floor. If hung higher than that he will be too warm, for heat rises, and the hottest place In a room is near the celling. Fev the Medicine Cheat. No housekeeper should be without these few simple remedies: Ipecacuanha as an emetic in sudden attacks of croup, bronchitis or whooping cough. Surgeon’s adhesive plaster for wounds; also good for softening hard corns and if applied soon enough a preventive of blistered heels, the result of wearing low cut shoes. Dry mustard for plasters and talcum powder to apply when the plaster is taken off. Equal parts of linseed oil and lime water beaten until they are an emulBion, the very finest remedy for burns and scalds. The mixture should be spread evenly on linen with a knife and bound on the Injured spot It Is a sure cure. Bicarbonate of soda. A small portion dissolved in a glass of hot water will relieve even a severe attack of Indigestion or bilious colic. A large dose, a teaspoonful, acts as an emetic and is very good and cleansing and healing to the stomach. For Llttlnx Hot Pau, All the pans used In cooking are not provided with handles, and It is invariably the custom for the housewife to remove them with the aid of a towel or cloth, and unless she is qnick about It she burns her fingers. Nobody would think for a moment of lifting the stove lid without a stove lifter, and the device

Cuban Land, I am not a land agent, bat I can tell you where 1 bought land last year that has already Increased In value 160 per cent. This la because thousands of Americans are investing there, building railroads, sugar* mills, saw-mills, and other things necessary to develop a new and fertile country. Land that is producing S6O to (76 clear profit per acre yearly in sugar cane. Land that is producing (750 per acre net profit yearly in ordinary cocoanuts. Land that is producing (400 per acre yearly in oranges, lemons, pineapples and bananas. Land where rich grass grows higher than a horse’s back, and on which cattle fatten with no other food, ready for the block. Land with a perfect climate, cooler in summer than it is in Indiana, with no frosts, and plenty of rainfall. Richer land than you ever saw, unless you have been there. Land covered with forests of great commercial value, such as mahogany, sabicou, julqul, etc. I can introduce yon to a man who makes a practice of backing these statements up with his pocket-book—he will give any responsible party his certified check for (200, and if this party should, upon Investigation, find any of these statements untrue, he shall go to the bank and get his (200, which pays his expenses and leaves 150 for his time; but if everything is as represented he shall hand the check back, and he will buy land, all he can pay for, just like I did. This won’t last always, and “the early bird,” etc. Parties going to Cuba every month. If you want to know more, see me, or write. Rensselaer, Ind. E. J.WILCOX,

one end, with nn additional handle pivoted between a pair of lugs attached to the upper handle. A movable bar with a jaw blade at the end Is mounted underneath the upper handle. A glance at the Illustration will show the mode of operation. The jaw blades are placed over the edge of the pan, and by squeezing the handles together the inner jaw blade is brought into contact with the pan, and with a firm grip the paa can be carried anywhere desired with no danger of burning. To Overcome Insomnia. The fundamental cause of sleeplessness is worry or overfatigue. Indigestion often results, and the blood is forced to the brain. In this case the feet should be bathed In right hot water for a few minutes before retiring. Sometimes, however, the wakefulness Is from a directly opposite cause, and in this case the feet should be elevated a little by resting them on a pillpw and the head laid flat, so forcing the blood to the head. Massaging gently the temples and back of the neck is an excellent cure for nervousness, and so soothed the patient will soon drop off to sleep. Salt Far the Teeth. Common table salt is excellent for cleaning the teeth ami removing tartar from them. It also hardens tender gums. Wet the brash and apply to fihe salt, which should be kept In a little glass dish on the washstand and used as any other dentifrice. Onion Otael.
