A Dream of Happiness

May be followed by a morning of "La Grippe.” Easily, and why? Because the displacement of covering in bed, a neglected draught from a partly closed window, an open transom connected with a windy entry in a hotel, may convey to your nostrils and lungs the death-dealing blast. Terrible and swift are_-the inroads made by this new destroyer/ The medicated alcoholic principle in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will check the dire complaint. A persistence in this preventive of its further developcment will absolutely checkmate the dangerous malady. Unmedioated alcoholic stimulants are of little or no value. The just medium is the Bitters. Not less efficacious is it in cases of malaria.biliousness, constipation, rheumatism, dyspepsia and kidney trouble. The weak are usually those upon whom disease fastens first, Invigorate with the Bitters. The butcher doesn’t try to make both ends meat; bone is heavier and more profitable to him.

His condition was most lamentable, as his limbs were constantly in motion, and at table his hands could not hold knife, fork or spoon. The effect of this medicine was at once noticeable to all, and Aho boy himself remarked, “I know it helps me,” and before the second bottle was used up, he insisted that there was no necessity of taking more as he was entirely cured. i CARL HELFENBEBGER A Valuable Book en Nervous LIILL Diseases sent free to any address, ■ fs I I aQ d poor patients can also obtain | I Ila this medicine free of charge.

ANCIENT BELIEFS.

Some bl" the Strange Notions Which in the Dark Ages. Chicago News.] The curious beliefs of the medieval English as to the cause and cure of various diseases were often even more shocking than absurd, if such a thing were possible. A ring made of the hinge or handle of a coffin was credited with the power of relieving cramps, which also received a solace when a rusty old sword was hung up by the patient's bedside. Driving nails in an oak tree were not a cure but a preventive of toothache. A halter which had been used in hanging a murderer, whsp bound around the temples was said to be an infallible remedy for headache. A dead man's hand could dispel tuSibrs oT the glands by stroking the parts nine times withit, but the hand of a man who had He'eii lianged and then cut down from the gallows by a maiden was a remedy infinitely more efficacious. Some of these still the superstitious poor of the provinces, but are not now strictly adhered to. To cure warts, for instance, the best thing to do is to steal a piece of beef from the Lutcher; with which the warts are to be rubbed, after which the meat is to be interred in sandy soil; as the process of decomposition goes on the warts will wither and finally disappear. - : - ■ ■- _ The chips of a gallows upon which several persons had been hanged was also one of the items in medieval materia rnedica; these, when worn in a bag around the neck, were pronounced an infallible cure for ague. The nightmare, supposed, of course, to be the result of something supernatural, was banished by means of a stone with a hole in it, which was every night suspended at the head of the sufferer’s bed. The last remedy went by the name of “hagstone” because it prevented the witches from coming and sitting on the patient’s stomach. The witches, which from popular pictures could not have sat on a horse a moment, were credited with riding them across the moors at breakneck speed at the dead hour of midnight when better disposed and less frisky persons were asleep. In cases of this kind a ‘‘hagstone” tied to a stable door at once put a stop to these heathenish vagaries.

The Indian runners are familiar figures in Mexico. They are employed by the government to carry the mails among the Sierra Nevada mountains, and make better time than any animal that could be employed. A runner will carry from twenty to thirty pounds of mail, and never be delayed by washouts or swollen streams. He is always on an easy run, that must carry him along at the rate of six or seven miles an hour at least. He is nearly always dressed in white cotton cloth, which makes him a conspicuous figure against the sombre green and black tints of the high mountain levels, and which, late in the evening, causes him to look like a ghost or specter flitting among the pines and firs and moss-covered boulders along the trail. The trails, on the steep places, wind backward and forward in stretches from fifty to seventy-five yards in length, in order to find a grade up which a heavily-laden packmule can make his way. But the athletic carrier does not run the Whole length of these windings in descending a hill. He cuts off the corners at each bend by placing his hands on the edge of,the trail and vaulting to the lower level whenever the two levels are not more than six or seven feet apart. All this time he never gives up the little dog trot that is carrying )iim forward so rapidly and surely. The carrier will, in lutif -an- go dmrrr- a nrrrtmtaiff side that would take the best mule in a bullion train or the fleetest one ridden by the little Mexican eaballero, the best rider in the world, half a day to accomplish. In ascending, too, the carrier has methods of taking shorter cuts up steeper inclines, so as to gain time and distance' at every turn.

RED RIVER VALLEY WHEAT.

Hoosier’s Observations of the Great Crop—Prohibition and Weather. ■Minneapolis Cor. ofthe Indianapolis News. Having just arrived at this place from a. sojourn in North Dakota, I will endeavor to give the readers of The News Some information in regard to the wheat crop of the northwest. The red-river valley of the North is the territory from which we get our best grade of wheat. The estimate on this year’s crop is that 80 percent, of the wheat in the valley will grade No. 1 hard. The valley is from thirty to a hundred miles wide, and the soil is of the very best, being of a rich black loam. One peculiarity of the soil in the. valley is that it never forms into clouds, or bakes, as is very frequently the case ij. most O'! our slates. Thq. crop of the valley this year will be the banner crop. Qn the beautiful prairie lands one can look - as far as eye can reach, and the oply thing to meet nis gaze is the teething fields of golden grain and the blue horizon, wljich far in distance seems to kiss the grain of mother earth, Thisd>eautrful and broad expafise is occasionally dotted with the farm-houses and surrounding buildings. At pfefient lhe ihimense wheat crop is just being harvested. In many instances the harvesting machines are running both day and night—to do this the moon must shine in all its splendor. North Dakota is known for its large farms, of which it has several comprising from five thousand to fifteen thousand acres. On the Elk river valley farm of 10,000 acres, which is all in wheat, fortytwo harvesting machines were in operation on last Saturday. In cutting a large laud is surveyed or laid off, and the forty-two machines follow in It is a scene worth witnessing by the Hoosier. In shocking the wheat no cap sheaves are used. The estimated yield is placed at twenty-five bushels per acre. Smudging has been resorted to occasionally to keep the frost from the wheat, but now all danger is over, as the wheat will all be cut by the last of this week. To take care of the crop, harvest hands are being brought in from Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis, who receive from $2 to $3 per day. The threshing crews furnish all the necessary help, do their own cooking, and sack the wheat for 11 cents a bushel, thereby relieving the good farmers’ wives of a heavy burden. There is also a large oats crop in the State, and your correspondent has been in fields that stood over five feet high. There is a large potato crop in nesota and the Dakotas, and potatoes are selling at 25 cents a bushel. The potatoes are of a very large kind, and in quality they are excellent. “Prohibition is doing much good in North Dakota,” says Mr. C. Hunter, of the Grand Forks Daily Herald. We were informed, however, that liquor was shipped into the State in sugar barrels, crockery crates, etc., marked “original packages.” Grand Forks is a city of 7,000 inhabitants, but if the imbibers want a drink all they [have to do is to cross the river to East Grand Forks, Minn., a town of about four hundred inhabitants, which has thirteen saloons. In North Dakota and Minnesota the young lady in a fur outfit, and the young gentleman in a summer suit and white vest ride side by side. The real estate men of this country will stand with icicles dangling from their whiskers and swear that the winters, when the thermometer registers 60 degrees below, are mild and that the weather is pleasant. ’Tis true that their summer weather is delight ful, but their winters are rath -

er too much so.

GOOD LUCK. Dr, Price’s Cream Baking Powder is often called the Good-Luck Baking Powder. Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the use of Dr, Price’s, it is not essential to use it the moment it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just so, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. It is not luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in the preparation and combination of all the ingredients o£ Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists are employed to test the strength and purity of each ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is always uniform in its work. House wives never fail to have “good luck” in making most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that remain mowtr and street. Only Baking Powder that con-tain»-lhe WEfteTof eggs, '• Dr. Price’s Cream Basing Powder is reported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,/ Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned. - „

Texas Siftings. An indigent woman went to a physician and asked for-’a remedy for her husband’s rheumatism. The doctor gave Ser a prescription and said to her: “Get that prepared at the drug store and rub it'well over your husband’s back. If it does any good, come around and let me know, for I’ve got a touch of rheumatism myself.” , When that indigent woman went out she was an indignant woman.

The Arabs 'wTo traveled with a circus in this country last summer t?ere Wahabis, or members of the tribe now making all the trouble in Arabia. They are strict Mohammedans, and on no account will touch wine. After they got from Arabia they began to smoktf cigars, which they were not allowed to do al home, it being contrary to the tenets of their sect, but they never forgot to say prayers. The crowds always around them annoyed them so that when they prayed, as they did five times a day, they retired within the tents. They were desperate looking men, and seemed in no wise affected by the evidence of civilization beheld on every hand. Before their contract was out they became homesick, and if they had known the way would undoubtedly have deserted their employers and gone back to Arabia. 2
