As some criminals are said to "see red" and go for their enemy, so some women when stung with a political idea, however little urgent, practical or immediate it may really be, "see red," and go blindly for that one aim by any means and in spite of any objection by friends or foe. Frederic Harrison. The "Mock Marriage" Idiocy. Another case, this time near Pittsburg, of two vulgar fools who went through a "mock marriage" ceremony and are now consternation-stricken to find it legally binding! If they would be particularly unhappy in spending their lives together as husband and wife, there would be fine poetic justice in compelling them to do so. New-York Tribune. Nuts for the Health. One very great advantage which nuts possess over most foods is their absolute freedom from adulteration. When you buy nuts you always know what you are getting. Of course, those bought in the shell are also absolutely , clean. And what a beautiful source they, come from! How beautiful to picture the trees upon which they grow, on the outermost branches, dancing in the sunbeams. London Good Health. REAL ESTAIEIR1SFER5 HAMMOND.

In a few months if for any unac countable reason you miss your train and can't get home that night Just send an aerogram to your wife and set her mma at ease. - The Gary contractors and builders say that the weather man can go as rar s he likes.
