Tin now turn the tables rather neatly on "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion"' Hurt-hard by faying that the celebrated divine is enjoying Rest, Refreshment and Recuperation at Saratoga.

Dui.rTH claims to have four times as much water jsjwer as Minneapolis and is goitig to show the latter how to une it. J*ok out for "the zenith city of the unnalted seas." Hhe's a coming!

is little but ho is de

termined not to bo inconspicuous. With gold buttons as big as half dollars on his nhirt sleeves, a largo cameo ring on his ttn^or and a diamond flashing through his thin board, the eccentric Virginian is liable to attract some notice wherever he goos.

AI.AHKA appears to bo the next coming gre.it section of the I'nited States. Many of niir public men have visited tho far northern Territory the past summer and with one accord thev praise its grand Hcenory and apparently fine prospects. It looks as though there was a boom in Htorc for Alaska.

Tin: recent

rains will largely increaso

the corn crop but even should it be short tho country will not suffer. Thore has leen a good wheat crop, a largo yield of •oats and barley and there is a big surplus of corn left over from last year. Tlie people of this country will have plenty to oat until another crop can be grown, 'NONK of the mutual assessment societies have made such a good record as the It tyal Arcanum. August 1 tho order contained 77,000 members and is steadily growing. During the order's existence »r 10 years, iwi assessments have been .•ailed and ?7,SM5,000 has been paid to the families of deceasod mombers.

No need to borrow trouble about the win crop. Tho late good rains wore late, to bo sure, but they will bring out a lot of good ears that were yet in tho formation period. Thore is always more smoke than fire in the complaints about ruined crops. There will be a big pile of corn in Uiin country when golden October comes round,

DON At.n, A prominent business man of AUhlnson, Kansas, pays a liijjh compliment to tho effect of woman NUti'rago in that Stato. lie says the women have revolutionized the utlalrs of the stale and made It one to be proud of.

7HE RAILROAD HORROR. Investigation as to the cause of tbe Chats worth holocaust has not thrown a great deal of light on the matter. But enough Is known to render the railroad company liable for damages. There is no ground to believe that the bridge was maliciously fired. Doubiless the lire caught from prairie grass which bad been burning in several places. There was negligence in not having the bridge examined before the train went upon it, in having a wooden bridge at all, and there gross negligence in running such a long and heavily loaded train all together and drawn by two engines

As a matter of course tbe road will Irv to escape judgements for damages bui n, will hardly be able to do so. It is said the Boston A Providence Railroad has already paid nearly half a million dollars on account of the Bus*y Bridge accident last spring and will have much more to pay before all the claims are set tied. It is likely that the T. P. «fc W. ("Tired, Poor & Weary") Railroad, will have a big bill to pay by reason of the Chatswortb slaughter.

But that will not bring tho dead back to life or restore themained and crippled.

CIGARETTES.

The supposed death of a young man in Now York from excessive smoking of cigarettes, has called attention anew to the evils of the cigarette vice. It is mucTi worse than cigar,smoking for several leasons.

The victim of cigarettes inhales the smoke, something that is not done by those who smoke pipes or cigars. This is particularly the vicious feature of the practice. In the minute air-cells of the lungs where the blood is or should be organized by contact with the aiif the nicotine of the cigarette penetrates and prevents the blood from being purified. The result is practically a species of blood poisoning. The vigor of the system is impaired and ultimately destroyed, for without pure blood there can be no health.

Another point against the cigarette smoker is that he uses tobacco to greater excess than other smokers. He will put one of the dainty rolls into his month and consume it at a few puffs at times when it would not be thought worth while to light a cigar. Thus in the end he really takes more tobacco into his system than the regular smoker does. Saying nothing about tho impure and unwholosome materials used in cigarettes, as compared with cigars and tobacco, the habit of smoking theiu is much worse in itself. ...

INTEMPERATE EA TING. Prof. Atwator has perhaps devoted more timo and labor to the examination of food questions than any other scientific man in the country. At the recent meeting of the American Science Association in New York ho called attention to tho waste of food by overeating, a vice which prevails extensively in this country. Both the rich and poor are guilty of It. Too much food is put on the table and, what is worse, too much is eaten. The digestivo organs are overloaded and the system Is clogged with food material that is not incorporated into tho body. Tho vitality of the system Is largely exhausted in tho efiort to got rid of this waste material.

It is now well known that a reasonable spareness In diet is favorable to long life. Nearly all long-livers practice it. Such is tbe case with the poet Whlttier, with tho historian Bancroft, with the statesman Gladstone, On tho other hand how many of our public men are cut short in the prime of life by Bright's disease or some other'malady growing out of our excessive diet.

But not only should a limited amount of Tood be taken, but that which is taken should be well prepared and simple in kind. Baked potatoes, digestible meat and plpiu bread are better than pie and rich cake. Often a bowl of mush and milk would do much better service to the eater than tho half-dcMten greasy discs with which he fills his stomach. We are excessive meat eaters under the impression that nothing else will give the needed strength and force. Yet M\twater tlnds that flour nioal and other staple vegetable foods furnish tho nutii ents at about one-third of their co^t in Hsh, eggs and animal foods. Undoubtedly we would be better off with less meats, more simple food, and less food of any kind.

THE UTK IXMASS.

The outbreak of tho Cte Indians in western (Colorado may possibly lead to serious trouble'. Chief Colo row has proved too much for Sheriff Kendall and his posse and the.latter have roturnrd to Meeker, fortunate in getting away with their lives*. For several days the cowboy* and ranchmen have been convey Ing their families to places of safety preliminary to going out themsel ves to take a brush with Ih© "bucks." Meantime Colorow is reported to be concentrating his scattered bands and the State wlliti* companies have been ordered forward.

It Is estimated that Colorow will have about 300 "bucks" under his command if he get» his three bands together, and this number may be still further aug tneuted by ether recruits If the Indian refuse to make terms and ir.slst upon going on tbe war path. Of course Uteri* be hot one outcome to the campaign: the Indians will be captured or exterminated by the forces that will be sent against them. Bat while that is the ltd devils may do a vast amount of mischief before they are subdued. The long

full of canyons. The Indians know it thoroughly and can plan surprises for their pursuers or escape with equal facility. But the country is not so bad as those portions of Arizona in which Indian wars have occurred and supplies are not so inaccessible. There aro more settlers and cowboys to help tbe soldiers. For these reasons the campaign, if one shall be rendered necessary, ought to be shorter than was the one against Geronimo.

IT is now anuounced definitely that the President will go directly from Washington to St. Louis and thence lo Chicago, where he will arrive on Oct. 5. There will be no stop at Indianapolis. Apparently Mr. Cleveland doesn't expect much from Indiana in the next campaign and is disposed to develope his boom where the prospects are more encouraging. Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis and several of the leading southern cities are down on the prgranune, and perhaps some of tho Atlantic cities will be iuclnded.

WOMEN'S WAYS. Is

An Austin (Nev.) miss has knit a whole dress out of a spool of thread. Clara Erskin Waters is the name of a Boston woman who is building a Hindoo temple in her back yard,

And now they say that Mme. Etelka Gerster has hopelessly ruined her voice by indulging in fits of furious anger.

The only female mayor iu the United States is Mrs. Salter, of Argonia, Kan. She is 27, has four children, and describes herself as a "home body."

Mrs. William Layton, of New York, has descended upon Saratoga with two hundred costumes, seventy-five of which are for out-door wear, with hats, parasols and fans to match. Her poor husband weakly attempts.to gain notoriety by tipping the head waiter with a fiftydollar bill.,

The beauty of American women often puzzles foreigners, who can not account for it. One engenious lady of foreign birth has produced the theory that the reason that Americans have such good forms is that their restlessness and nervousness prevent their being long in one position, so that any defect is not likely to become fixod.

The Washington belles have introduced the cane as the latest fashionable fad. A weeks ago a young leader of Washington society returned from England carrying this appendage. A nice little stick, with a shepherd's crook of hammered silvor. A regular little Bo Ppep affair. Sometimes she swung it, and sometimes she gave a smart rap with it upon the pave 7

A pretty young woman's sleeping car experience is related in that department of the American Magazine where only true stories are placed:

always lie

with my head very far front and my feet near the wall. One night I was awakened by some one stepping on tnv nose as it lay on the pillpw. You can imagine my wrath. I neversaid a word, but gave the foot the most spiteful pinch, that sent it up after its owner with an exclamation point. The next day he—a very dapper young man—sat opposite me all day, and actually the mean thing never moved without limping! And it couldn't have hurt him that bad, could it?" 'i

Miss Addie Hayden of Brooklyn, who is described as "a pretty blonde nineteen year old girl," and who is suing Charles Van Riper, a photographer, for §5,000 damages, may be a very estimable young woman. It would seem, however, that a young girl who would voluntarily subject herself to being photographed in a state of complete nudity must exiect to take the consequences. Miss Hayden, It appears, was engaged to a young man who happened to drop on one of the photographs, and who rather naturally broke oft the match with the cutting remark that he supposed slio would next be heard of in the ballet. At any rate, Miss Hayden thinks she has been illused, and demands $5,000 damages from the pliotograper for all the trouble he has caused her.

SCIENCE IN THE HOUSE. Science, in a mild form, is now oc cupying itself in making many inventions for domestic purposes, saving time and trouble to the housekeeper. Among the latest are striking sand glasses to be used by the cook, or another, in operations which require a specified amount of time and attention. One of these glasses is so weighted and bung that the emptying of the sand reverses it and causes a metal attachm tit to strike against the stand In falling, thus giving a note of warniiiir. so that the person using it Is able {. attend to other things meanwhile, lust-: '1 of having, as formerly, to give nnce&sii'-t glances at the running of sand, ibis little .implement everybody who has ever boiled an egg or done any o* her brief thing of tho kind, by tbe help three-minute glass, will feel to be a freat enfranchisement. Another Invention useful to those who keep birds is a cage on one side of the floor of which Is fitted a roll of thick water-proof paper, running through groovos and crossing the entire bottom of the cage. Every morning the soiled paper is pulled through and torn off in its own crease without more ado, ready to be thrown In the Are, and the fresh paper, in the act of pulling off the soiled, has taken Its place, thus sparing the person whose duty It is to attend to the cleanliness of tbe caps much trouble and annoyance and the little tenant of the place much flattering.

In Ituffido, Saturday, twenty-seven friendless dogs were killed by electricity "One by one,*' says the Express, "they were placed in a box about two by three, lined with tin, with about an inch of water in the bottom. One by one they were musaded with through the month. the wire—a corpse.**

A popular dish at Charleston,

C., is

served with sugar and nutmeg. The}

method of its serving is as peculiar as tbe dish itself. A hole is cut in an orange large enough to admit a spoon, and after the inside has been scraped out, the orange is filled with the hash and a little champagne or other wine— just enough to fill the chinks—and the whole is frozen.

An emigrant "schooner" through Burlington, Iowa, a few days ago, headed east, bearing a large placard:

But never back to you.

SLEEP IN HOT WEATHER. [Sprlngfleld (Mass.) Union.} It Is a necessity at all seasons, to be sure, but it is more imperative uecessity in very hot weather than in cold seasons. The comparative coolness that succeeds a hot day tempts people to sit up longer than they ought, and the argument is sometimes offered that when the days are so long we,can not go to bed so early as when they are short. But the days are long at both ends, and there is a great deal less of night after 9 o'clock in the summer than there is in the winter.

Forepaugh's Hug-e Cornbine.|rS Adam Forepaugb, whose mammoth circus gives two performances here on the 30th, has introduced a genuine novelty in tho circus world. He was combined the entire Wild West show, which he exhibited all last winter in New York, with his colossal circus, hippodrome and -menagerie. All the details of the famous and fateful fight are represented with startling realism. Indians and United States soldiers battle for every inch of the ground, and the terrible climax of the battle is shown with a graphic accuracy that must be seen to be appreciated. This attraction of itself is enough to repay a visit, bat Mr. Forepaugh is not forgetful of the circus proper. Young Adam makes his elephants, horses and other animals do tricks and go through evolutions more surprising and pleasing than have ever yet been conjectured. The aggregation of gymnasts, acrobats, serial performers, equestrians, bicyclists, clowns and .everything that lends interest and value and enjoyment to a circus are presented by the best specialists and most famous performers in the world.
