Few Individuals Honored.

France delights in naming its streets after some particular building, or some happening, or a great victory, and this is also true to a certain extent in Canada, where there is only one capital city which commemorates an individual. This is Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island. The Charlotte so remembered was the daughter and only child of George IV, who died only a year after her marriage in ISI7. —Philadelphia North American.

Overheated Air.

A rise of temperature in the surrounding air diminishes the amount of oxygen consumed and' the amount of dioxide discharged. A fall of temperature has the opposite effect. In addition, the overheated air forms a hot jacket around the body, which prevents the radiation of heat necessary io keep the body in a healthy condition. With a sedentary occupation a temperature of from 65 to 70 should be maintained for comfort and health.

Use of Gold in Teeth.

The use of gold as a substitute for lead or bone as a filling for the teeth was perfected in 1865 by Dr. Robert Arthur of Baltimore, while in ISS4 Prof. W. D. Muller of Berlin, in his discovery of the bacteria origin of diseases of the teeth and of the large part played by lactic acid, opened the way to avenues of research, which may ultimutely lead to the total extinction of the dentist. —New York World.

Power of Humor.

The following anecdote illustrating Henry Ward Beecher's power of using humor for argument is related in the Youth’s Companion: “On one occasion a man in the congregation asked, ‘lf a man is a good father and a good husband, but never reads the Bible, where will he go when he dies?’ ‘l'm sure I don’t know,’ Beecher replied, ‘but wherever he goes he has my best wishes.’ ”

To Clear the Voice.

This is a simple remedy for clearing the voice: Granulated sugar and enough lemon juice to dampen the sugar thoroughly. Take a teaspoonfui every hour until the voice improves. Bathe the throat and chest with cold water and do not dress the throat too wfirmly when on the street.

Very Pleasant Evening.

Willis —“Did you have a good time at the Bumps’ last evening?” Gillis — “Yes. We spent an evening of sin.” Willis —“What do you mean?” Gillis—“My wife cheated at cards, I lied about my income, and between us we swiped their best umbrella.”—Life. i

of Hereford Rattle in the country. The cow just purchased is with calf by Golden Lad IX,, one of the best bred animals in the United States, which was purchased at J a recent Hereford sale by Jeff Crouch of’Lafayette for $2,300. But Mr. Phillips has other cows that rank above the one just purchased. One of these is in calf by Perfection Fairfax, W. T. McCray's great Hereford herd bull, generally acknowledged the best' animal of his in the world; another in calf by Martin Fairfax, sold at McCray’s recent great sale for $17,000, the higjhest price ever paid for a bull of any breed, and two other cows in calf by Corrector Fairfax, a son of the great Perfection Fairfax. Mr. Phillips also has a coming yearling bull from Corrector Fairfax. , It will thus be seen that Mr. Phillips has in embryo some of the best sired Herefords in 'the world and being recognized as an authority on all kinds of stock the time may not be Jar distant when Jasper county the home of a Hereford herd with a world-wide reputation. Mr. Phillips’ farm at the west side of town is being transformed into an ideal and commodious place for cattle breeding, which fact may also be news to a great many readers of The Democrat.
