A Big Boiled Dinner.

Cooks in large hotels and boarding houses may think they get up meals on a big scale, says the Portland Transcript, but when it comes to wholesale cookery the little village of Liss, on the London and Southwestern Railway, England, surpasses them ill. At a barbecue held there not long ago an ox was boiled—not roasted—whole; and this is how it was done: A large hole was dug in .the ground and lined with brick. Inside this a tank large enough to hold the ox was built. The carcass was then lowered into the tank, having first been placed in a case formed by heavy cross-bars, to which chains were attached. Pulleys from • a scaffolding above were used to raise and lower the ox. Many vegetables, such as carrots, onions, cabbages and potatoes, were boiled with the meat The boiling required seven hours.

Barbarous Grammar.

The writer of a book of travels, telling of the insect pests encountered iu British Guiana, makes a statement of which the best that can be said is, that it is probably not so bad as it sounds. “One lady that I knew', whilst busy at her toilet, felt something crawling on her shoulder. She screamed and called her husband, and he had just time to knock the centipede off before biting her in the neck.”

Try Grain-O! Try Grain-O!

Ask your Grocer to-day to show you a paekageof GRAIN-O, the new food drink that takes the place of coffee. The children may drink it without injury as well as the adult. All who try it. like it.

Sold by all grocers.

Almost Given Up.

“I used to fondly hope that some day I would have lots of money.” “And now?” “Now I would be thankful if I could only dream, some night, that I was rich.”’

The Best Time.

No autumn or winter is so good but may be bad for Rheumatism. The worst time for it is the best time to buy and use St. Jacobs Oil to cure it, because it cures promptly.

How He Got a Rest.

“How well you look, Dibbs! When did you get back?” “Get back? It was my wife who went aw T ay.”—Chicago Record.

A NATION OF DYSPEPTICS.

From the Mountaineer, Wa haUa, N. Dakota. The remorse of a guilty stomach is what a large majority of the people are suffering with to-day. Dyspepsia is a characteristic American disease, and it is frequently stated that “we are a uation of dyspeptics.” Improper food, hurried eating, mental worry, exhaustion; any of these produces a lack of vitality iu the system, by causing the blood to lose its life-sustain-ing elements. The blood is the vital element in our lives, and should be carefully nurtured. Restore the blood to its proper condition and dyspepsia will vanish. For example, in the county of Pembina.* North Dakota, a few miles from Walhalln, resides Mr. Earnest Snider, a man of sterling integrity, whose veracity cannot be doubted. He says:

The Doctors Disagreed.

“I became seriously ill three years ago. The doctor gave me medicine for indigestion, but I continued to become worse. I had several physicians at intervals who gave me some relief, but nothing permanent. “I read in the newspapers articles regarding the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and finally concluded to try the pills. I purchased six boxes. This, was five months ago. The first box gave me much relief. I continued taking the pills, and after using four boxes was cured."

The World’s Telegraph System,

The total length of the world’s telegraph system Is four million nine hundred and eight thousand nine hundred and twenty-one miles, not counting the 180,440 miles of submarine cables. Were this all in one continuous line, it would wrap round the equator about 198 times. The moon and earth could be connected by twenty lines, with enough to spare to connect every country on the earth. These lines are distributed as follows: Europe, 1,704,790 miles; Asia, 310,G55 miles; Africa, 99,419 miles; Australia, 217,479 miles; America, 2,510,548 miles. Europe In 1800 had only 78,000 miles of telegraphs. Dr. Thomas Popham, Philadelphia: , Your Popham’s Asthma Specific has nearly cured me. I have been afflicted with asthma since infancy, (20 years). For two years previous to the use of your medicine the disease had become periodical, coming on every morning in severe paroxysms. I used every asthma medicine I heard of, without success. I had become very weak and disheartened; hid almost despaired of receivfng any benefit from medicine; saw your medicine advertised in the paper and sent for some immediately; used it twice a day for one year, and have had but one paroxysm for the past six months. Yours truly, ADDIE ELLIOTT. Sheridan, lowa.

Suburban Sociability.

‘‘Our cook is gone again.” “What was the matter?” “She said she got lonesome while nay xvife was taking her afternoon nap.”— Chicago Record.

Still Worse.

“It’s just as folks said it would be. He deserted her last week.” “Left her without a pang, I suppose.” “Worse than than. He left her without a penny.”—Cleveland Plaindealer.

What Do the Children Drink?

Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GltAlN-O? It is delicious and nourishing, and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-0 is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, but costs about'*4 as much. Ail grocers sell it. 15c. and 25c.

The American Sailor of To-day.

.Tacky, who used to be more sailor than gunner, is now more gunner than sailor. Just In proportion as he has ceased to be a partof the great engine on which lie lives, so he has come more and more into the control of It. And as the cardinal purpose of a warship Is to hit things with her projectiles, .Tacky has become a specialist In getting that work out of her. lie dot's It in two places—at the guns and at the engines. Correctly pointed guns are of no use, unless the platform on which they rest Is put In proper relation to the thing io be hit, and kept there; equally It Is useless to get the ship into proper place unless the guns are correctly pointed. Men who can do either of these things must have natural capacities and lie susceptible to education, and only men at this sort are eligible for our navy. Accordingly the "beach-coinfoer,” or the “rock-scorpion,” or any other variety of that ruck of marine refuse which drifts around the great maritime ports and ships in any craft where “grub" Is plenty and work light, no longer slings his hummock on Uncle Ham’s b®rtb-deck, as he used to <V> to the slinme of the service In years gone by. Nor can the tramp, nor the Jailbird, nor even the Incorrigible black sheep of the family, thus be provided for to the relief of constables and longsuffering relatives. No man or boy can now pass a United States naval recruiting officer unless ho Is clean, healthy, honest, young, strong and Intelligent; nor can he afterward get that advancement, which Is certainly open to him without fear or favor, unless he continues to show aptitude and ability. Mrs. Katherine L. Haddock, of Philadelphia, bequeathed her home In that city for an orphanage, endowing it with 1125,000. She nlso enriched several charitable Institutions In Philadelphia atv* VenusJ Ivan La with gifts of 110,000.

The town has no fire protection except a few hand extinguishers. Citizens turned out and saved other buildings. A tramp had been put off the train there the day before, and threatened to get even with the railroad company. The fire was undoubtedly of iucendiary origin. Two Men Killed in a Wreck. A south-bound freight train on the Vandalia was wrecked at Honey creek by the breaking of a coupling pin. When the engine and forward section of the train slowed up at the creek the rear section crashed into it, demolishing five cars and badly wrecking eleven others, killing two men who were riding on the bumpers. The men are supposed to be Albert Gibb of Elkhart and John Metzler of Wakarusa.

Jones of Madison County, who has a record of 15G sleepless days and nights, is gradually recovering his normal condition.

James Hillis of Clinton County is said to be the oldest native-born Indianian now living in the State. His birth occurred Jan. 8, 1814. The State gns inspector reports to the Anderson people, after a tour of the gas belt, that the Indiana natural gas held is in excellent condition, and no shortage is anticipated in any quarter. John O’Keefe, the Valparaiso mail carrier who was arrested recently by the postoflice inspectors for abstracting letters containing money on his route, was bound over to the next term of the United States Court in the sum of $1,500.

Both were making good time when they met on a curve. Four men were injured by jumping, but none fatally hurt. Jacob Dunkle of Cass County, while digging in his field, uncovered the head and shoulders of an Indian, which had petrified after burial.
