STRICT BOARDING SCHOOL.

Tkree Callers m Tear at Twenty Mln■tea a Call far Girl Students. The young- ladies ot the normal school in Winona were lately thrown into a flurry of excitement, says the St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch. ' They were called into one of the recitation-rooms and put through a rigid examination about the number of callers each had and a description of each caller. They were told that it was highly improper to receive a caller from out of the city, and that many of the young men of the city were not proper persons with whom to associate. It was also considered highly improper to receive a call which was of more than 20 minutes’ duration. In all over a dozen questions were required to be answered, all of which were in regard to the subject of gentlemen callers. A number of rules were given to the young ladies, which they were told they must obey. Among them was one forbidding the same young men to call upon them more than three times a year, and then the call must be purely formal and not exceed 15 or 20 minutes. The young ladies were also requested to furnish a list of their callers and their characters, and as to the general subjects of conversation when calling or riding, and if the landlady where they boarded approved of the young men. Some of the young ladies are indignant, and say they will not submit to such rules, while others believe they are all right, and propose to follow them.

IN THE NATURAL GAS DISTRICT.

A Very Unattractive Place Where Many Accidents Occnr. Passing through a gas-belt one will see near the roadside, in a farm lot, a .mud-bespattered, weatherbeaten derrick, with the apparently rickety accompaniment of crude appliances made familiar years ago in the oil regions—a small reversing engine, a rusty locomotive boiler, usually without a stack . and leaking at every seam; the ponderous wooden walking beam slowly oscillating night and day, stopping only to give place to the use of the bull wheel when the drill is raised and the sand pump is lowered, or a newly-dressed bit is put in service. Crude as the rig and all its details may seem at first glance, every part is soon seen to have its use, and the journey of the bit from the surface to the unknown, and perhaps barren, depths, is always accompanied by interesting and ever-varying developments. says Cassier’s Magazine. At night the measured beat and clatter of the rig in the dim light of a few flickering torches of gas, piped from some neighboring well; the trembling derrick, its lofty top lost in the darkness; the driller carefully manipulating the temper screw after each stroke, controlling the bit at the end of a rope perhaps half a mile below the surface, all form a weird sight. Accidents are frequent, and the slightst carelessness may result in dropping the tools, the recovery of which requires patience and often great ingenuity.

A FIGHTING DIET.

Swell Is Said to Be That of the Vegetarian. I regret to say that vegetarianism is a fighting»diet, writes G. B. Shaw in the London Vegetarian. Ninety-nine per cent, of the world’s fighting has been done oii farinaceous food. In Trafalgar square I found it impossible to run away as fast as the meat eaters did. Panic is a carnivorous specialty. If the army were fed on a hard}* healthy, fleshless diet we should hear no more of the disgust of our colored troops and of the Afridis and Fuzzywuzzies at the cowardice of Tommy Atkins. lam myself congenitally timig, but as a vegetarian I can generally conceal my tremors; whereas in my unregenerate days, when I ate my fellow-creatures, I was as patient a coward as Peter the Great. The recent spread of fire-eating Action and Jingo war worship— a sort of thing that only interests the pusillanimous—is due to the spread of meat eating. Compare the Tipperary peasant to the potatoes-and-buttermilk days with the modern gentleman who gorges himself with murdered cow. The Tipperary man never read bloody-minded novels or cheered patriotic music hall tableaus, but he fought recklessly and wantonly. Your carnivorous gentleman is afraid of everything—lncluding doctors, dogs, disease, death and truth-

INCREASE OF DOSE NOT NECESSARY. There are many medicines advertized to cure constipation and other stomacbe disorders which realy do some temporary relief among these are the various kind of Pills and the great number of teas. But an experience with these is almost alway disappointing. Either It becomes necessary to keep increasing the dose or they become entirely inactive. Not so with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Its efficacy keeps up and those who give it a fair and honest trial finds it is always a friend. 10c 500 & SI.OO prizes, for sale by A. F. Long.
